Don't force me to use my right fist.

However, as if sensing Saya's gaze, Saya secretly turned her head and exchanged a confused glance with him.

Then, Sōyū shook his head and looked away. It couldn't possibly be her. If this guy were really that bold, she would have dug a hole and buried herself in it the moment he glanced at her, let alone look him in the eye. With her ostrich-like nature, she shouldn't have the guts.

Then, Saya focused his gaze on the back of the braided girl sitting not far away, who was intently taking notes.

Could it be the class monitor? Whether it's the motive or the purpose, she's the most likely one. After all, she flirted with him so professionally. Maybe this was just a joke she made with him once.

But when Saya lowered his head to sniff the unique fragrance of the young girl emanating from the paper, his guess began to waver. Even if it sounded a bit perverted, Saya had to admit that the scent was wrong. The clothes worn by Amakawa Tsubasa had a faint, sweet, and alluring fragrance, like orchids, which Saya had smelled up close before, and it was definitely not the scent on this paper. Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that Amakawa Tsubasa had deliberately changed her shower gel or perfume, he remembered that he had just had lunch with her. It was unlikely that she could change her body scent so easily. Saya shook his head.

Let's guess again.

Saya selectively ignored the blue-haired girl who was sleeping soundly on the table, drooling, and then glanced at Mami before turning his gaze to Renya beside her.

Both of them were the type he had some kind of conflict with, especially the latter, who was one of the few brewery employees who knew a little about him. So, Sōyū couldn't believe that either of them would have any reason to like him, let alone go to the back of the school to confess their feelings.

As for Yaya, she was clearly more interested in his body than in him as a person. As for Yamami, she acted more like Aqua's mother, and Saya didn't sense any strange gazes from her.

But after trying to eliminate the possibilities, Sawa became even more confused.

It seems like all the girls he's ever interacted with are here. If all else fails, could it be that Huiyin is trying to create a sensational teacher-student romance, like an old cow trying to eat young grass? Sōyū, who didn't think he had that much charm, sighed. He then held the envelope under his nose and sniffed it lightly.

Yes, it does have that light, fresh scent that only girls have. If you smell it closely, you can even detect a faint hint of milkiness.

While it's possible that his classmates were simply fed up with his arrogant attitude and had hired someone to prank him, if that were the case, they'd certainly go to a lot of trouble. Sighing, Saya gripped the corner of the envelope and tapped his forehead in frustration. Who else would have the time to write him a love letter? It couldn't possibly be Haru, could it?

Just as Saya was thinking this, the school bell rang urgently, signifying the end of the day's classes.

Watching his teacher leave, Sawa remained motionless, preoccupied with the question of who had delivered the love letter, unable to calm his mind completely.

Keep in mind that this is the first time in Zuoyou's life, including the years he spent in Minecraft, that he has received something like this. It would be impossible for him not to be excited at all.

But Sawa couldn't help but hesitate. Would it be a bit inappropriate to rush to the appointment without even having met the person?

If you call it a joke, or to put it more bluntly, a curse caused by some strange phenomenon, then Sawa feels a sense of relief.

But Wan is a girl who really likes him. What will he do then? Accept her or cruelly reject her?

Sawa, who had been hesitating for a long time, didn't notice that Saya and Tsubasa Amakawa, who were standing next to him, seemed to have discovered something and were slowly moving closer to him.

"Saku-kun, what's that thing you're holding?"

Although Saya, taking advantage of the distance, approached Saya first, craning her long neck to peek at the white letter in his hand, it was actually Amakawa Tsubasa who spoke first, pointing with an indescribable expression at the envelope tied with a pink ribbon in Saya's hand. After all, this thing looked like a love letter from Wakasa, didn't it?

It's unbelievable that anyone would be interested in such a strange and eccentric person as him, especially in just a few days.

Completely incredulous, Yu Chuanyi asked the question, her beautiful brows furrowing as she braced herself on Saya's desk with both hands, her beautiful eyes fixed on Saya, awaiting his answer.

"Yes, yes, Saya-kun, early dating is bad." After seeing what was written on the note Saya was holding, Saya turned her head away. For some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest, her face turning pale as she bit her lip. She stammered, nudging Saya's shoulder to remind him. She didn't know why she was telling Saya this, but the thought of him getting a girlfriend made the discomfort in her heart grow stronger. She was probably worried that Saya, such a good person, would be deceived, and if they were caught dating too early, he might have to drop out of school—she was definitely worried about him, which was why she felt uncomfortable. Trying to reassure herself, Saya's grip on Saya's shoulder tightened inexplicably.

"I think you might have misunderstood something. I myself want to know why this thing ended up in my closet. If I really had that thought, as you say, I wouldn't be troubled by it." Zuoyou sighed. Judging from the two girls' reactions, the possibility that it was them was practically certain.

But if that's the case, who's left who might be a candidate?

"So that thing in your hand really is a love letter?" Amakawa Tsubasa raised an eyebrow at the note in Saya's hand, indicating that he could take a look.

"More or less. With an envelope like this and these words, it can't possibly be a challenge, can it?" Saya rubbed his short hair and handed the note to Amakawa Tsubasa.

If this guy is so smart, he might be able to deduce something for him. Amakawa Tsubasa also took it without any hesitation, and after carefully examining what was written on it, he put it under his nose and tugged at the boy a couple of times, just like Saya had done.

"It was definitely made by a girl; you can tell just by the handwriting and the smell." Holding the note down, Yu Chuanyi's expression was slightly sinister; the note looked like it was about to be crushed by her forceful fingers.

"So, Saya, you really did get a love letter? Will you accept it?" Saya, who had been grabbing Saya's shoulder, suddenly exerted a burst of strength, forcibly turning Saya's body to face her before questioning him in a flustered tone. Perhaps due to her excitement, her slightly stuttering speech even seemed to have improved.

"No, I don't even know who the other person is. How can I agree to that? Or do you think I'm such a casual person?"

Sōyū's face was almost contorted with worry; he himself was confused about the matter, so how could he possibly agree to it?

And Saya is incredibly strong. Even though Saya didn't exert any force, she managed to twist him around. If it were any other ordinary person, they would probably break their back.

"Then just don't go. Since they dared to throw the letter directly into your closet without signing it, it might be targeting you." wh

Amakawa Tsubasa calmly helped Saya analyze the situation and offered her suggestions.

"Or are you, Saya-kun, really that confident in your charm, believing in love at first sight? I remember that in school, your interpersonal relationships were practically nonexistent compared to most people, right?" Amakawa Tsubasa glanced at Aqua, who had already packed her things and was heading home with Mami, and the newly arrived transfer student, Renya.

These people don't seem to be waiting for Saya, which means it's not them?

Who else would be willing to take on the not-so-tempting piece of meat that is Sasuke and Yuu?

Just as the three of them fell silent, Kaguya, who had already taken a shower and finished washing up in the student council's private room, appeared at the door.

She spotted the pink envelope in Saya's hand immediately, her eyebrows shot up instantly, and she strode up to him, slamming her hand hard under his desk.

"What's going on? Can it be used to dispel the Holy One's curse, Saku-kun?"

The voice, as cold as an iceberg, made Zuoyou's head spin even more. He had no idea what had happened!

Chapter 168 Is he really that beastly?

The whole class was in complete chaos, but the person in question, Sawa, stared blankly at the note, seemingly oblivious to the noise from the others.

"Can you listen to me? I can just not go, okay? I'm not really that curious, you know." Saya sighed. To say he wasn't curious would be a lie; who wouldn't want to know who had a crush on them? But the situation was this: the three girls in front of him were eyeing him like tigers, and none of them seemed like the kind of girls who would comfort him enough to agree to let him go see who the messenger was.

"If you're really curious, it's not like I can't let you go. But I'm also a little curious. Don't say I'm restricting your freedom or anything; if you really want to see, it's not impossible." Kaguya could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his dejected expression. After glancing at the two girls beside him, she frowned, finally pursing her lips and telling Ruoyou her thoughts. If she really restricted Ruoyou's actions, it would inevitably leave a knot in his heart. Even if Ruoyou didn't say it, he'd still feel uncomfortable, and there was no way to change that.

"Actually, I'm more curious to know, Saya-kun, when you see the person who delivered the letter to you, will you respond to her?" Seeing Kaguya suddenly change her tune, Kawatsuba immediately understood what Kaguya wanted to do and took over the conversation, asking Saya a question.

"Of course I'd check who it is and then reject them, just like Saya said. I don't have any thoughts of early romance right now, let alone... I just thought one of you sent it."

"I was wondering who among you would joke about something like this."

Saya shrugged. Even if it were the three of them who sent the letters, he still wouldn't agree to it; it would be even less likely with anyone else. He had no intention of dating someone he hadn't even gotten to know. Although he could be a bit mischievous at times, Saya was surprisingly innocent when it came to matters of the heart.

"I... I'm not saying that early relationships are bad. I'm just a little worried about you, Saya-kun."

Saya lowered her head. Only after being called out by Saya did she realize that her action of holding his shoulder was a bit too intimate. She quickly let go of his hand and said.

"I don't mind what you want to do, but since you're currently working under my authorization, it's really unreasonable for you to be doing things like dating girls, right?" Kaguya crossed her arms and said she didn't mind, but the murderous intent emanating from her eyes was enough to turn Saya into a sieve.

As for Amakawa's nose, after glancing at the love letter in Sōyō's hand, she suddenly seemed to have an idea.

"So, you like this set, right, Sakuya-kun? If you want it, I can write you a copy on the spot, the kind that's kept in the shoe cabinet, I guarantee it'll be even more authentic than this one."

"Forget it, I really want to know who's messing with me."

“Since it’s in the cabinet, if we follow Kaguya’s reasoning, someone must have put it in last night. That means it’s possible it’s not someone from our class. We’ll have to see what kind of person you find, Saya.” Amakawa was helping Saya with the deduction. There were plenty of possible candidates, since no one could guarantee that someone wouldn’t suddenly be blind enough to fall for a troublemaker like Saya.

While he might not be devastatingly handsome, he was at least good-looking. Coupled with his significant connections to the Yuzaki Group and the fact that he could even ride to school with Kaguya, it was easy to guess that his identity was not simple.

It's inevitable that some people might think about trying their luck, and girls who like money are not a minority in Sakura.

"Why don't you go and see for yourself? Of course, you can take me with you to join in the fun. I'm actually curious to see who's so eager to seduce you." Kaguya waved her hand, preferring action to deduction. Once Saya got there, she'd know exactly who it was. And when she mentioned the girl who had approached her, Kaguya clearly glanced at Amakawa Tsubasa beside her. The meaning behind that look was something only she knew.

"You're right. Whether someone's playing a trick on me or someone really wants to send me a love letter, it's never good to stand someone up. I still have to go." Zuo Youyao scratched his head. Since they all said so, it wouldn't be a loss to go see it. Besides, he was the most curious one, since he was the one who received the letter.

"Um, could you take me with you, Saya-kun? I want to go see it too."

Saya didn't know why she said such a thing, but she couldn't help grabbing Saya's sleeve and asking pitifully with her little head turned away.

"Alright, since you're all so curious, let's go together then. That way, you won't suspect that I really have any strange thoughts about female students. Wouldn't that be unfair to me?"

Sōyū nodded in compromise. If they hadn't come, he could have simply sneaked over and waited to see who it was, then figured out a course of action. But since they were all together, he could only go out and distract the approaching group. He didn't think there was any way he could get away with it.

The four of them finally reached a consensus. They then stood up from their seats, with Wakasa Yu standing at the very front, and the other three keeping a little distance behind him.

"Speaking of which, why are you all so concerned about this? In the end, it seems to be entirely my own business."

Sawa, who was walking at the front, scratched his face. Only then did he realize something was amiss. Why were these three girls so concerned about his affairs? They seemed even more anxious than he was. Was it really necessary?

"I don't want to repeat the reasons I just gave."

Kaguya, already annoyed just seeing Amakawa Tsubasa and the other two behind her, coldly replied to Saya, "I don't even believe I could use a supervisor's request as an excuse, but it certainly does count as one."

"I'm the class monitor, Qin. If anyone in the class is dating, I'll definitely need to find out more about it. As for whether or not to report it to the teacher afterwards, that depends on your attitude, Zuoyou."

S., biting the nib of a fountain pen, smiled at Wakasayu and said.

"No, don't tell anyone, especially not Ms. Evil Voice. The consequences are serious, no joke." Saya hurriedly raised his hand in a pleading gesture. She had mentioned Saya's poor attitude towards studying before, and if she found out he was secretly messing around with other students, Saya was afraid she'd throw him out. As for Sana, she just kept her head down, pretending to be an ostrich staring at her toes. She stammered for a long time without finding a reason, and her little face turned bright red.

"Alright, alright, I'll just assume you're genuinely concerned about me. No need to explain. I'm really afraid you'll burst like a balloon one day."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Saya finally gave up on asking her what she thought. He slowed his pace and stepped back to Saya's side, gently patting her back to soothe her. However, after seeing that she had the same reaction as him, the two looked away and went their separate ways, as if they hadn't seen each other at all.

"Saya-kun, you're really biased! Taking such good care of Saya-kun, don't you even consider my feelings?" Still unable to contain her feelings, Amakawa slowed down after seeing Saya's arm naturally supporting hers, and took Saya's arm from Saya's.

Although there is a risk of having nightmares if I come into contact with her, it seems that I can't worry about that right now.

This green-haired girl has figured out that Saya is the type of person who responds better to gentleness than force. Although it's clear that she didn't mean it, it doesn't seem like it's a good idea to let the two of them continue like this.

"Alright, alright, it's time for you to let us meet the real deal. I'd like to see who could possibly fall for someone as eccentric as you."

Kaguya, who had wanted to step forward with Amakawa Tsubasa to stop Zuo You's actions, suddenly stopped. She could only coldly point to the cherry blossom tree not far away, the one mentioned in the letter, and say...

"Then I'll go over there. You guys wait here. I'll just refuse her and come right back." Zuo Youyao scratched his head, took the letter, and walked directly to the cherry blossom tree. He frowned, keenly sensing that someone was already waiting for him behind the tree. It seemed that it really wasn't someone looking for him. He understood the logic, but why did it feel like there were two people's presences?

With a head full of doubt, he stood under the cherry blossom tree, and only then did he see the two figures that had been waiting for him for a long time coming out from behind the tree.

When he saw the appearance of the two girls, one with pigtails and the other with long, flowing black hair, Saya's expression froze instantly.

Who are these two? Have they met before?

Meanwhile, in the distance, Amakawa and Saya covered their mouths as they watched Ruoruo, who was clearly still in elementary school. "This is way too young! Is Saya really that much of a beast?"

Only Kaguya's eyes changed from cold to astonishment, and she even exclaimed in surprise.

"Rin? Sakura? Why are you here?"

Chapter 169 I challenge you to a duel, and the stake is Kaguya!

"Hmph, you're here now. Did you receive Qi's challenge letter? I didn't expect you to have some guts."

The girl with twin ponytails tied with a black ribbon stood in front of Sawa, puffing out her small chest and speaking arrogantly to him.

"Deceived? So that really was a challenge letter? It was my fault for mistaking it for a love letter."

Zuoyou covered his face. He never expected that his earlier sarcastic remark was actually true, and that it really was a challenge sent to him by someone else.

The problem is, he doesn't know these two little brats. And he has no reason to argue with children that age, so why did they call him out?

"Love letter? What kind of nonsense are you writing, you pervert!" The little girl, one hand on her hip, pointed a slender finger at Zuoyou's nose, her face filled with disgust. Zuoyou scratched his head and handed her the letter he had received. How could she not have the wrong idea? The girl took the letter with a puzzled look, and after carefully examining the pink envelope and the contents, her face instantly turned red. Somewhat annoyed, the twin-tailed girl turned around and pinched the mushroom-headed girl who had been hiding behind her, too afraid to speak.

"Sakura! Is this what you wrote and sent over for me? I've told you so many times to be more assertive! What is this nonsense?!" The little girl with pigtails puffed up her cheeks with anger as she scrunched up her younger sister's face.
