Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Because when I got home, I found that the Yuzaki family's house was on fire. I heard it was attacked. I remember you stayed there temporarily, right, Saya-kun?" There was still a hint of worry in Amakawa Tsubasa's tone. Considering that Saya left with Kaguya without saying a word, she was really worried that something might have happened to him.

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't go back there at all. Just be careful. Don't you know who I am? Even hell wouldn't accept me."

Half-jokingly comforting her, Zuoyou smiled slightly. It felt good to have someone worry about him. Thinking back to the loneliness he felt in the Minecraft world, saving this girl was definitely a decision he wouldn't regret.

Okay, then I'm relieved. It's good that you're alright, Saku.

"Instead of worrying about whether I'm alright, why don't you do me a favor and help me find information about a martial arts sword called the Yama-no-Tsurugi?" wihl

It's best not to involve Amakawa Tsubasa in the affairs of the True Word Church, but we can entrust her with some information about the Enma Blade.

The distillery said they would only share the information once he sent the Iron Puppet over, so asking this little encyclopedia to look it up for now wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Hmm, so finally there's a place where I can be of use?"

The girl, whose request was made by Saya, smiled even more broadly. She had already felt a little guilty for unilaterally accepting Saya's kindness, but now that Saya had asked her for a favor, she was even happier. At least she could do something for him. That was enough.

Saya softly pleaded with the other person, only to see Kaguya appear before him like a ghost, staring at him with an indescribable expression. Saya inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine and decided it was best to end the conversation.

"Is that alright then? If you find anything, I'll contact you again later."

"Wait a minute, Saya-kun."

Saku paused, intending to hang up, and waited for the other person to finish speaking. "Go on."

"Um... will we still be able to go to school tomorrow?"

Yu Chuanyi's voice carried a hint of shyness, and even through the screen, one could tell that her face was already flushed red.

..wh

Before Saya could reply, Kaguya, who was standing in front of him, suddenly jumped up and snatched his phone away.

"No, because he's going to school with me tomorrow. You should walk by yourself, Amakawa Tsubasa."

After taking a deep breath and answering the question, Kaguya hung up the phone and handed it back to Saya. Saya was about to ask her why she did that, but a look from Kaguya stopped him in his tracks.

"I noticed that you look even more handsome when you're not talking, especially when Qingjiu and the others are around."

Kaguya spoke, her words carrying a strange undertone.

Chapter 114 Reconnaissance

Realizing that it was pointless to reason with a woman, Saya promptly shut his mouth.

It's best to let her be. She was so agreeable just a moment ago, why is she suddenly acting so unreasonable again? Looking at the sky, which hadn't completely darkened yet, Saya thought, if he can't afford to offend her, he can at least avoid her. Saya stood up and went to the doorway, but was quickly stopped by Kaguya, who was looking at him with open arms, her expression pitiful.

"Where are you going?" Gone was her usual indifference; Kaguya's voice was filled with a sense of bewilderment and panic.

“Let’s go check out the layout of the distillery next door. Just looking at it from the outside will help us prepare.” Saya tilted his head. He had never seen her with this expression before, and he didn’t know how to deal with her. After hearing Saya’s explanation, Kaguya’s expression improved a lot. She thought that her actions had made Saya unhappy, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? You weren't secretly chatting with your so-called class president?" Even she didn't know why she asked that, but Kaguya still confirmed with Saya.

"Why would I contact her after a full meal? Didn't we already say everything we needed to say on the phone?" wh

Saga scratched his head in confusion, not quite understanding what she was thinking.

"Han, can I go with you?"

Kaguya finally realized her unusual behavior, blushed, and tugged at Saya's sleeve, her tone softening once again.

"Sure. It's just for looking around, not like we're going to storm in and tear the house down. With you coming, we can even wander around outside." wh

Sōyū had no reason to refuse her suggestion. As long as she didn't throw a tantrum, it wouldn't make much of a difference whether he took her along or not.

Having received Saya's reply, Kaguya stepped aside from blocking his way, opened the door for him, and followed behind Saya.

"Once we're out the door, we'll keep in touch by texting on our phones. Is that alright?"

Saya reminded Kaguya that it was best for him to speak as little as possible on the sake brewery's territory; if there were any surveillance cameras or recordings, he'd be in big trouble if they found out.

But if it's in written form, even if someone intercepts it, it's useless. The only basis the brewery can use to identify Saga's true identity is his voice.

"Yes. It's all yours." Kaguya nodded. Actually, all she wanted was to simply be with Saya; where they went wasn't important. As for not being able to speak directly, in a way, that might be a good thing.

After all, Saya is quite handsome when he doesn't speak, but when he does, it's easy to get annoyed by him. Saya and Kaguya went out one after the other. The girl in the suit at the door wanted to ask them what they were going to do, but after a glance from Kaguya, she obediently stood back at the door.

Saku, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, almost causing Kaguya behind him to bump into him.

"What's wrong?"

"You're the young lady here. You should be the one going first." Sawa slapped his forehead and pushed Kaguya's small shoulder to move her forward.

"That's more in line with our persona!"

Nodding seriously, Saku finally felt that the art style was normal.

"You really do look more handsome when you're not talking."

Speechless, Kaguya held back for a long time before finally unable to suppress her urge to complain. The two dawdled for a while longer before finally emerging from the temporary courtyard arranged by the brewery. However, before they even reached the brewery, they saw the familiar brewery duo leading a large group of people.

Moreover, the sharp-eyed Sōyu even made eye contact with the silver-haired girl sitting behind Haruyu for a few seconds. They both seemed to be wondering why the other was in such a place.

Where are they going? Why are they in such a hurry?

Saku quickly swiped a few times on his phone and sent a message to Kaguya's phone.

"I don't know. Do you want me to ask around for you? If I'm involved, they shouldn't be keeping it from me."

Kaguya also squinted at the direction they left in. Since Saya was curious, she didn't mind satisfying his curiosity.

[Yes, I always feel that there's something in their area that's beneficial to me.]

Zuoyou has only encountered a few monsters so far. Unlike Minecraft, which has monsters that spawn rapidly at certain times, this world has a different kind of monster. Just finding them is enough to give Zuoyou a headache for a long time.

But following behind the brewery might be a good choice. Stealing monsters might be a bit shameful, but in a sense, he's helping the brewery reduce unnecessary losses, isn't he? At the very least, even without taking action, just joining in the fun and satisfying his curiosity is not bad. Having received Saya's text message, Kaguya headed towards the brewery, where a dark-skinned woman, who seemed to be the temporary manager, quickly came out to greet her.

"Miss Hanazaki, is there anything you need? We will try our best to meet your needs as long as it is within the capabilities of the brewery."

The woman, with a professional smile, smiled politely at Kaguya and spoke to her.

"I want to know what Mr. Qingjiu and his group are up to so late at night. As one of the distillery's shareholders, I think I have the right to know what you've done with the money, right?"

Without beating around the bush, Kaguya, still as assertive as ever in front of outsiders, directly asked her question, instantly embarrassing the woman who was receiving her.

...

The woman in black hesitated for a moment, then contacted someone, presumably from the distillery, through her earpiece before answering Kaguya's question.

"Lord Qingjiu and the others were just on a mission to clear out the strange creatures. This is the third one this month."

Having received the reply that there was no need to hide anything, the woman revealed Jingjiu and their whereabouts and explained the situation in detail.

[Ask her what is strange. 1]

Saya's eyes lit up, and he quickly sent a message to Kaguya.

"Strange? What type?" The woman, overwhelmed by Kaguya's aura, fell silent for a moment before revealing this information, which wasn't particularly important.

"From what Lord Qingjiu said, it seems to be a type of inferior vampire called a Dead Apostle, but if left unchecked, it can be quite dangerous." Kaguya didn't react much to the name, but Saya seemed rather surprised. "Wow, this is from the East Vampire Sect! Does that mean there might be True Ancestor-type vampires active here? I wonder what kind of good mods they might drop."

Chapter 115 The Dead

Are you interested?

Kaguya only glanced at Saya behind her and could roughly understand his thoughts; his eagerness was practically written all over his face. Saya nodded; in fact, he was interested in anything related to the supernatural.

[My current strength is not enough. To become stronger, I need to come into contact with more strange beings.]

This explains why, with his current strength, dealing with ordinary people or ghosts isn't a problem, but encountering a Western-style character like the one from last time would be extremely difficult. Relying solely on the original version's power is clearly insufficient; he'll have to look towards various mods.

"I see.

Kaguya blinked. Saya must have his reasons for saying that.

"I want to know the location of Mr. Qingjiu's mission this time. This should be within my authority, right?"

Asahi stepped aside and the woman in black, who had stopped speaking, asked a question. Kaguya calmly beckoned to her.

...I need to ask for instructions.

Kaguya clearly couldn't answer that question so easily; if something went wrong with Kaguya along the way, it would be a responsibility she couldn't bear. Seeing that the woman in black was continuing to consult her superiors, Kaguya then led Wakasaya on a brief tour of the brewery above, which served as a cover.

The area was filled with security cameras, and security guards in black trench coats were stationed on all the key floor mats. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to sneak in.

Of course. If you choose the SSASSin-type infiltration, that goes without saying. As long as no one sees the intruder alive, it's a perfect infiltration.

"Um, Ms. Hanezaki, if you are really interested, I can tell you the location. But we can notify the staff there to broadcast it remotely, so please don't take the risk on your own."

The upper echelons of the brewery, who took Kaguya's question as stemming from ordinary people's curiosity about the supernatural, did not directly reject it, but instead suggested that it be broadcast.

"Broadcasting it... isn't out of the question." whl

Kaguya narrowed her eyes and looked at Saya beside her.

"Alright then, please come in with me." The woman in black gestured towards the distillery gate, indicating she was about to lead Kaguya inside. Sawa wanted to make an excuse to slip away, but the woman in black blocked his way before he could.

"Excuse me, sir, only Ms. Hanezaki has the right to observe the interior of the brewery. Could you please wait outside for a moment?"

She said many apologetic words, but her face was mostly cold.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll contact you by phone if I need anything. I don't think the people at the distillery will stop me from using communication devices, right?"

Kaguya winked at Saya, her meaning clear: Saya could use this as an excuse to do what he wanted; she would send him the location of Haruyuki and the others shortly. This was actually the most suitable solution.

Although she longs to be with Sōya and doesn't want to be separated, Kaguya won't act willfully in this formal situation.

Being with him would only be a burden for her; it would be better for her to stay inside the winery, where there would be live coverage and her safety could be guaranteed.

After hearing Kaguya's words, Saku didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and walked back to their temporary lodging.

In the face of such an important matter, Kaguya never threw a tantrum, which made Saiyu quite relieved. Before Saiyu even reached his doorstep, Kaguya had already sent him a message.

[Sugidate Park]

Information about one location was enough. It was just that Sawa was still a little embarrassed and didn't dare send her another message to ask.

If someone has absolutely no sense of direction, even if they know the name, they still wouldn't know how to get there!

I'll have to find a way to hire a driver later, or maybe getting an auto-navigation system would be nice.

Thinking this, Saya stretched and disappeared into the night. It wasn't the quietness caused by the lack of people around; rather, it was something truly eerie.
