Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Why? All I wanted was to be with the person I love, why?" Kazuya looked at the longsword connecting him to Sadako behind him, its mummified body failing to save him this time. In fact, against the undead killer V, it had become an even more fatal blow. He only wanted to find the person who had passed away and be with her; wasn't sacrificing everything for that the only right thing to do? Why was someone trying to stop him?

"Go to hell and ask those who died because of you, and you will know the answer."

Instead of answering his question directly, Sōyu stirred the longsword embedded in his chest, completely shattering his heart.

Kuzuyama Nakamaro slowly turned around and looked at Sadako, who had been pierced along with him. He slowly reached out, wanting to stroke her face one last time, just like when he first met her many years ago when he was teaching in the countryside.

However, having burned out, he clearly lacked the strength to do so; his hand, which had only reached halfway, fell limply to his side.

Sadako behind him let out a piercing scream, like a sob. Blood and tears welled up again on her rotting, hideous face, but this time she didn't attack Saya's desire again! Instead, she seemed truly desperate. Struggling to support Kazuyama Nakamasa's body, not wanting him to fall, Sadako, herself severely injured, completely disregarded her own fading body and pulled at his hand, wanting only for his hand to touch her face once more.

The culprit behind all this, Saya, took a step back, slowly averting his gaze, unwilling to witness their horrific final moments. This is why Saya never kills easily. Even the most heinous villains have their hidden secrets. Taking a life without understanding the situation is tantamount to incurring a sin.

In the end, the last Sadako also disappeared into the air, while the fallen Katsurayama Nakamasa's skin slowly dried up until he completely turned into a mummified corpse.

Saya stood in front of Kazuyama Nakamasa. Although he didn't know why this middle-aged teacher would do such a cruel thing, he knew that death was the end of everything. Since he was dead, the matter was considered over.

After collecting all the surrounding stones into his backpack, Zuo You finally took a look at it. After all, he had fought for so long and put in so much effort, but he had still gained quite a bit.

The first thing to notice was a strange, pure black crystal dropped after the final kill of Kazuyama Nakamasa and the Sadako behind him. Its color, completely opposite to the crystals of goodwill, made Saya rub his hands together excitedly. A crystal of karma: the product of the burning away of sins—a product of everything afterward, containing extremely terrifying cause and effect and power.

Finally, the item dropped! This is exactly what Sayu needs most right now. Although it's only one piece, at least it's a natural drop, right? That means there will be a way to obtain it later. It's just that the method of obtaining it might be a bit too troublesome. Even the Bloodstained Sadako, who was also killed by an enchanted sword with the "Steal" enchantment, only gave him two Goodwill Crystals. Besides that, he did get almost two stacks of Rotten Flesh, but Sayu doesn't use that much. The experience only brought Sayu back to level 45. He's still a long way from level 70, which is enough to enchant Karma Crystals.

After that, nothing happened. The Sadako loot was incredibly clean; none of the mod items that Saya had been hoping for dropped.

Reluctantly glancing at the lifeless body of Yamashita Nakamasa, Saya finally focused his gaze on the book clutched in his hands. He took the book directly from Nakamasa's corpse and narrowed his eyes at the words written on it.

Ancient Magic Analysis

The familiar mod loading pattern reappeared in the center of his vision once again.

The [Magic Crafting] module is installing. A notification popped up in the chat box in the lower right corner, prompting Zuo You to...

This was actually the final reward for this battle—the name "Magic Craft"—sounds incredibly sophisticated, doesn't it?

What Saku lacked was something that allowed him to improve upon the original game. The absence of ranged attacks and his reliance solely on melee combat had always been a source of frustration for him. Now, with the help of this mod, he will finally have the other attack methods he has been longing for.

Each version has its own god-tier class, and every version has its own mage, magician, a class that is always superior to others. Even if they can only conjure a small fireball, it is enough to make Zuoyou happy for a long time.

No wonder Kazuyama Nakamasa was willing to abandon his escape to bring this thing with him; presumably, he figured out what was going on with the videotapes and Sadako using the information in this book. However, after seeing what was tucked inside the book, Saya abandoned his previous idea.

Inside was a photo of a man and a woman embracing intimately. The young man's face still vaguely resembled that of Ge Shan Zhongzheng, while the girl beside him, gazing at him tenderly, was easily identified by her white dress and smooth black hair.

"That's why these things are so troublesome." Saga sighed and put the book back into his backpack, but took out the photograph separately.

Saya placed it in the arms of the now-mummified Kazuyama Nakamasa, and helped him clasp his hands together to hold the photograph tightly.

Saya wanted to believe that he had returned not for the magic book, but for the photograph, nothing more. With a sigh, Saya pushed open the door. Things here were mostly settled; the rest was no longer his concern. Then, looking at the group of familiar figures in black trench coats, Saya scratched his pumpkin-shaped hair with a wry smile.

"What a coincidence! We meet again. Were you guys secretly following me? Don't do things like that again, it's really embarrassing." wh

With a smile, he greeted them, and even waved to the silver-haired man who seemed to be the leader.

"Grab him."

Pointing her finger at Saya, Haruyu gave orders to her subordinates behind her.

Haruyuki, who felt she had gotten used to it, was no longer even surprised. Anyway, this guy always had to meddle in everything, right?

Chapter Ninety-Four: Please accept this "Good Person Card".

"Hey, let's be reasonable, okay? I'm here to help. Taking care of these guys in here will benefit us all, won't it?"

Zuoyou scratched his head, also puzzled as to why these people were like chewing gum, impossible to shake off. Basically, every time something happened, he would run into these guys.

The key issue is that he can't easily harm them. They're all here to deal with the supernatural, and their initial goal is even to protect ordinary people. If he were to attack them and teach them a lesson, it would feel a bit too much. So, today is another day of joyful running away for Sōyū.

He swung a fishhook overhead and flung himself out of the window like a pendulum.

Everyone who stood in his way was knocked aside. Even the men in black wielding weapons like stun batons were rendered useless by Saya's diamond armor.

Once again breaking through the distillery's encirclement, Saya emerged outdoors. With his fishing rod, he was like a fish back in water, regaining his freedom. He cast his line a few times and then vanished into the night sky like Spider-Man. Haru watched helplessly as Saya escaped from his grasp once more. At that moment, he only regretted not listening to Vodka's request to bring the prototype Gungnir with him.

Taking a deep breath to adjust her mindset, Qingjiu turned to look at the girl beside her who had lost the protection of the blue shield, and asked a question coldly.

Why don't you do it?

Even with her arm injured, given her abilities and regenerative capacity, capturing Saiyu shouldn't have been a problem. If she had used her abilities even slightly, Saiyu wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

"I'm injured, and the reason for this injury is that your good subordinate provided completely wrong information. Your subordinate never told me about the non-physical vengeful spirits involved." Lianye showed no remorse for this, but instead questioned Qingjiu about why she had provided her with incorrect information, which led to her injury.

"You know this is something I can't control, and as the executor, you should be prepared accordingly." Harujiu frowned. It was indeed an intelligence blunder on their part, but that wasn't a reason for her not to take action against Sōyū.

"Whether I can fight or not is not something I can control. That guy just saved my life. I can't bring myself to attack him." Lianye stated her reason directly. The bruises on her arm had faded, and she turned and walked into the room that Zuoyou had come out of.

"Save people?"

Harujiu frowned. This guy's behavior was becoming less and less like that of a supernatural being. First of all, he wasn't intentionally attacking humans, and now he was even actively helping them? No, a supernatural being is always a supernatural being. Even if he's saving people, it's definitely for some purpose. Maybe he's after Renya's abilities and that's why he's doing this, but because the master here is a greater threat, he's prioritizing dealing with him. Harujiu suspected Wakasaya with the utmost malice. He always maintained a degree of wariness towards supernatural beings. Although it was somewhat hurtful, in a sense, as the current manager of the brewery, it was necessary.

"Yes, it was you guys who caused me suffering. And when I was in danger, it was him who stood in front of me." Lianye stood at the door and glanced at Geshan Zhongzheng, who had turned into a dried corpse. After confirming that he was completely dead, he turned back to Ruoqingjiu and continued to speak.

Also, the mission target is dead, and judging from the wounds, it must have been done by that guy.

Without needing to guess, Renya understood what was happening inside with Saya and Kazuyama. She toyed with her throwing knife; if she hadn't been observing Saya's strength and actions, the head would have been hers. But this was for the best; not having to intervene saved her a lot of trouble. Haru walked past her into the room. Since she said that, it was practically meaning there was no danger inside. However, the reason why that guy was dealing with the strange creatures like them remained a mystery.

Approaching Kazuyama Nakamasa, Haru first examined his body. After looking at the wound on his chest and confirming that it came from the special azure longsword used by Saya, she then looked at the photo that Saya had helped him hold tightly in his hand.

"Strange guy."

Haruyu, who could tell that Saya was only put into someone's hand after death, came to this conclusion about Saya. He really couldn't understand this guy anymore.

"No matter how much you want to deny it, you have to admit that this guy's actions so far have completely violated what a weirdo should do. You could even say he's a good person." Lianye leaned against the door, fiddling with her silver pocket watch, before slowly expressing her opinion to Qingjiu.

"That's not what we at the distillery deal with. Even if he really is what you say, a kind of benign anomaly, our responsibility is still to capture and contain him, and if necessary, kill him." Qing Jiu shook her head, unsure whether she was answering Lian Ye's question or trying to persuade Ruo, who was beginning to waver. She took a cigarette from her pocket, put it in her mouth, put her hat back on, and walked out the door.

"Clean up the scene. Take all suspicious items and belongings back, and destroy the rest on site. Contact the local police and tell them that the murderer in the recent missing persons case has been found and shot."

After carefully instructing his subordinates on what to do next, Qingjiu, along with Lianye who had followed him, got back into the car parked at the door.

Where are we going now?

Seeing that he had opened the passenger door and gotten in, Lianye followed him into the back seat. This time, she asked Qingjiu, who was in front of her, "..."

"Back at base, when you get there, compile a list of that guy's abilities and statistics and hand it over to me. Don't tell me you can't even do something like that. I'm already being very lenient by not blaming you for not intervening just now." Qingjiu glanced at Lianye behind her in the rearview mirror before taking a drag of her cigarette and saying this.

"Sure, as long as you don't let me see my husband, you can arrange it however you want," Lian Ye replied nonchalantly, trimming her nails with a small silver knife.

"Um, boss, although it's a bit of a downer to say this now, there's something I still have to say."

- Vodka, who had been sitting in the driver's seat waiting for the two of them to get out, finally found an opportunity to speak and turned to look at Qingjiu beside him.

explain."

"That library was blown up again by a dark shadow that fell from the sky, just like the last time that guy appeared."

Chapter 95 You really like going to school that much?

Zuoyou had no idea that his departure would cause so much trouble. All he wanted to do was get home and try out the new mod he had installed.

Back at the Hazaki residence, Saya retreated into his room, only to find a girl dressed in a yukata already sitting on a chair in his room, waiting for him.

"You haven't rested yet?"

Saku sat down opposite Kaguya, taking only a sip of the tea she had presumably prepared for him.

Hmm, judging from this temperature, they must have just arrived here not long ago.

"It's not so easy to take a break until you've resolved things."

Kaguya's hair, fresh from her bath, cascaded down her back like silk. Her cool expression and exquisitely beautiful face made her resemble a noble princess, just like her name suggests.

"So, you killed that guy?" whl

Kaguya glanced at Saya, having already learned from the traitor at the brewery what had happened at the place Saya had gone, and asked while playing with a strand of hair at her temple with her slender fingers.

"Pretty much. The curse is mostly settled by Lu Gao now. You shouldn't have to worry about dying inexplicably again when you go back to school." Zuo You glanced at his empty buff bar. The so-called evil spirit curse had indeed disappeared along with its source after he destroyed it, which left him with a sense of loss. It was a real shame that Wihl would no longer have a stable source of experience and loot.

Hmm, I understand. So this matter really is completely different from the Truth Church?

With a troubled expression, Kaguya pressed her small hand to her forehead, a worried look on her face.

I originally thought I could uncover more about that mysterious Church of Truth, but it turns out it's just another person trying to kill me. whl

No wonder the plot wouldn't trigger as long as she didn't go to school; they definitely weren't the same mastermind. Anyway, this matter is finally over, and Sawa has once again proven his strength.

However, the fundamental problem has not been solved. Given that she doesn't go to school much anyway, Sōyō's situation is just icing on the cake.

"I understand. Is there anything I can help you with? I've already had your whereabouts completely erased regarding that teacher. You don't need to worry about the people at the brewery finding out about you. And your little lover too. People in different positions naturally think differently. Kaguya can't help with other things, but she's very good at this kind of behind-the-scenes work."

"I don't want anything, but when are you going to deliver that piece of land you promised me? I really need a private space lately. You didn't see the look your maid gave me today." Zuo You waved his hand. He lacked nothing, even plenty of time, except for a secret base to expose those things he couldn't reveal to the public.

"How dare you even bring that up? Don't you have any idea what you've done at home? Who wouldn't want to eat you alive?"

When Sawa brought it up himself, Kaguya's eyebrows furrowed. Did this guy have no idea how many people she had sent to get rid of the smell in his room today?

"Is that so? So give me a quiet place, it'll be better for everyone."

Sawa stammered, realizing he was indeed in the wrong.

"I've found a place for you. The house is ready, and there aren't many other buildings around. It meets your requirements of being large and secluded. But things aren't completely resolved yet, so you'll have to wait a little longer."

Upon hearing Saya's suggestion, Kaguya stopped fiddling with her sideburns. After a moment's pause, she turned her head and replied softly.

"Am I really that uncomfortable for you? I'm not saying you have to do whatever you want." Kaguya muttered under her breath, a hint of annoyance rising in her heart for no apparent reason. Why was this guy so eager to leave? Did he really not want to be with her? He must have been bewitched by that class president; he probably couldn't wait to live with her. WH narrowed his eyes at Saya, making the latter feel a chill run down his spine.

"Alright then, have you found any clues about the Church of Truth?"

Sōyū didn't hear what Kaguya whispered. What she said made some sense; it was indeed unreliable to move to another place before ensuring her safety.

"No, this organization has more people involved than I imagined. Even the government has encountered resistance, which means that the other side may actually be no less powerful than the Yuzaki family."

Kaguya's expression darkened further at this point. She hadn't expected that even knowing the name of the organization, the Yuzaki family, with its strength, would still be unable to do anything about it. This was a serious problem. Either the other party was truly very good at hiding their activities, or their power was far greater than she had imagined.

The problem isn't something money can solve. And given their ability to send so many heavily armed assassins to brazenly try and kill her each time, she's more inclined to believe the latter.

"Well, there's not much I can do. Although I promised to help you with the investigation, to be honest, I'm fine with fighting, but being a detective is too much for me. Come find me again when you have some leads." Sōyu waved his hand. He wasn't good at political matters, and this was something that had to be involved.

He could handle things at school by asking the class monitor to help him, but this was something Huiye had to do on his own.

"Yeah, I know, but from what you're saying, you still want to go to school? Wasn't everything resolved over there?" Kaguya frowned. Had this guy gotten carried away with flirting with a high school girl? Why did he want to stay at school even after everything was over? Did he really think he was a high school student?
