Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Yay, it's a promise!" Kaguya Asawa smiled. Children's moods are always the easiest to change. Rin took her younger sister's hand and then placed Kaguya's hand on top of it.

"Well then, Kaguya-neechan, we'll head back now."

The short-haired girl, also smiling, nodded to Kaguya before slowly walking up to Saya and bowing somewhat awkwardly to him.

"Um, big brother, I'm sorry, my sister Xi apologized to you. Please don't hold her mistake against you, okay?"

However, before she could finish apologizing, Rin grabbed her hand and led her towards the school entrance.

Rin only turned around after she felt that she had reached a distance that Saya couldn't catch up with. She made a face at Saya.

As for Sōyū, he scratched his head as he watched her walk away, then turned to look at the other two who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines.

"Take that little girl named Sakura from earlier, for example. I feel like her personality is a lot like yours, Saya-kun, don't you think?"

"Yes, is there?"

Saya nervously twirled her long hair that hung down her temples, and asked Saya somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask the class monitor and Kaguya. Those kids are just as polite and cute as you."

Saya nodded and said, "I have to admit that I prefer Sakura's personality to Rin's more carefree one. This is quite similar to Saya's, otherwise I wouldn't have said it out of the blue."

"But, what's so cute about it... I, I'm going back now!"

Sayaka lowered her head and ran straight towards the direction of the school gate.

After waving at the girl who was running faster than a rabbit, Saku turned around and saw Kaguya and Amakawa Tsubasa giving him somewhat subtle looks.

"Do I have flowers on my face? Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Chapter 171 How long do you intend to keep catching me?

Kaguya didn't respond to Saya's question. She just snorted and turned her head away with her usual stern face, as if she couldn't be bothered to say anything to him.

"Saya-kun, do you realize that what you're doing is extremely inappropriate?"

"Huh? But I was just stating the facts. Sakura really does look a lot like Saya." Saya didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just said. If anything, it was those two provocative girls who were going too far.

"If you're going to make this a big deal, if I were Saya-kun's Chinese teacher, I'd probably have committed suicide by now. Alright, alright, it's about time I left." Amakawa Tsubasa was completely helpless with this blockhead-like boy. She could only sigh helplessly and then choose to leave.

"Oh right. Saya-kun, don't forget what you promised me! I'll be waiting for you at home the whole time. I don't think you want to know the consequences of disappointing a girl's expectations, right?" Before leaving, Amakawa Tsubasa turned back and made a promise gesture to Saya, then walked briskly back towards the school gate. Saya naturally knew what she meant by promise—it was just to ask her to go to school with him. His memory wasn't that bad. But soon, Saya felt a chill coming from behind him. Kaguya looked at Saya's back. If aura could be given a concrete form, Saya could guarantee that none of the snow puppets he had ever created had ever given him such a cold feeling as Kaguya.

"Um, Miss Hanezaki? Shouldn't we head back?" Saya, unsure of what he'd done to offend her, immediately lost a lot of his momentum. She was perfectly fine in the cooking class just now, how did she suddenly become like this? Girls' minds are truly the most unfathomable thing in the world. Saya felt that even the most difficult Ender Dragon he'd ever faced was nothing compared to these girls.

After all, the Ender Dragon's gestures don't lie; if it says it's going to breathe fire, it definitely will. But women don't.

"I allow you to call me by my name, but before that, I'd like to know what happened with your agreement with our class president." Kaguya narrowed her eyes. While Amakawa Tsubasa was present, she acted as if she hadn't even seen her, but as soon as Amakawa Tsubasa left, she immediately started asking about her.

"Huh? You mean that? I just told her that starting tomorrow, I'll pick her up on my way to school."

Sōyū didn't think it was anything private, and Amakawa Tsubasa hadn't said anything about keeping it a secret or forbidding anyone from telling anyone, so since Kaguya had asked, he would just find an opportunity to answer.

"If I heard correctly, you just said every day?" Kaguya's expression darkened further. Wasn't that class representative a little too greedy?

"Yes, but I don't have a car. I'll have to trouble you to ask Reisen to drive me. Your car is so big, it should be able to fit one more person, right?" Sōyu nodded. Not paying close attention to Kaguya's expression, he naturally didn't see the surprised look that appeared on her previously gloomy face.

"You mean you want me to come along too?" Kaguya was stunned. Did this guy really think it was boring for her to go to school alone, so he offered her a ride? "Hmm, it shouldn't cause you any trouble, otherwise I'll think of another way." Saya asked her, stroking his chin. He knew that Kaguya didn't like interacting with people, and she didn't seem to like Amakawa Tsubasa very much. If he really made things difficult for her, Saya didn't want to force her.

"No, it's okay, it's just taking a different route, I have no objection. Besides, judging from how cheerful that class monitor was just now, she definitely doesn't know what Saya is thinking. When she sees the car parked at the door and me, her expression will definitely be very interesting." Kaguya smiled sinisterly, revealing a hint of pleasure.

"That's good. We should probably head back now. We have some things to take care of, and we also need to exchange information with the people from the brewery later." Sōyū didn't notice Kaguya's unusual expression. After receiving her reply, he walked ahead of Kaguya and beckoned her towards the spot where Reisen had parked her car at the school gate.

Having finally figured out what this so-called love letter was all about, Sōyū felt that this was even more torturous than dealing with those two members of the True Word Church that afternoon. All he wanted to do was lie down somewhere.

Of course, if he could find a piece of land to grow potatoes or shear sheep at this time, he would be able to calm down quickly.

Unfortunately, if he lived near the distillery now, he could only dream about such things. For one thing, if the distillery staff ever discovered he was growing square pumpkins and watermelons, it would be hard not to associate him with that so-called headless horseman.

"Hey Kaguya, have you really chosen the plot of land you promised me? I mean, it's best if there aren't any neighbors. I'd prefer it to be a bit remote, you should understand, right?" Saya thought it over and over but still couldn't let go of the farming stuff, so he turned to Kaguya and asked about his one and only request.

"Don't worry, that place is absolutely safe. If there were any neighbors before, they should have all moved out by now. Unless someone who really couldn't sell the whole place to me is still there, I guarantee that no one else will live within a mile radius."

Kaguya, walking behind Saya, rolled her eyes. She had never understood why this guy got so excited when it came to farming.

Was he a farmer reincarnated nine times?

"That's good. Take me to see it when you have time, okay? I already promised to go shopping with you, so please let me see the place that belongs to me, okay?"

Saya pinched his chin, trying hard to control his urge to farm, and asked Kaguya.

"Do you think it's appropriate to compare shopping with a pretty girl to watching you farm?" Kaguya was starting to have second thoughts about talking to this guy.

Hmm, that's not quite right. The former is Zhe Tang Wo, and the latter should be Zhe Tang Ni.

Sawa was analyzing the situation seriously when he realized that Kaguya's little foot, clad in leather shoes, had kicked his calf.

"What does 'going shopping' mean to you? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please explain it again?" Kaguya poked Saya's heart with her long index finger. Why is this guy talking so infuriatingly?

"Uh, I didn't say anything. I just said it's time to go home." Zuoyou pursed his lips and finally gave in.

They jogged all the way to Lingxian's car, where they had been waiting for a long time. Zuoyou gentlemanly opened the car door for her and gestured for her to come in.

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you." Kaguya took off her little leather shoes as she got into the car. Just as she was about to rub her ankles, which were a little sore from walking around too much, she saw Saya sitting opposite her with an expectant look on his face. Having thought of the same thing as Saya, she froze in place, her little hand that should have been put down.

"Go ahead, I'll pretend I didn't see it. It's okay to have personal hobbies, I understand."

Saya's gaze met Kaguya's for a moment before he awkwardly looked away.

It's a pity. I was hoping to see the beautiful girl picking her toes again, and it would have been even better if she could perform that scene again.

"I understand you my foot!"

Finally, Kaguya, unable to bear it any longer, could no longer maintain her elegance as a wealthy heiress. She grabbed the car roof rails and kicked Wakasaya in the face with her little feet.

"Speak properly, okay? Resorting to violence at the drop of a hat is not ladylike behavior."

Saya easily dodged the girl's attack, grabbed her small foot covered in black stockings, and helped her steady herself before speaking to Kaguya with a serious expression.

However, whether it was because Kaguya's skin was too delicate, or because her socks were of really good quality, the moment he grabbed her small foot, which could be held in one hand, the smooth and soft touch almost made Saiyu lose his grip.

"You...you let go." Kaguya, whose little foot was being grabbed by Saya with one hand, instantly went limp. Saya's hand wasn't kneading her too hard, but Kaguya felt a strange tingling sensation spreading from her leg. She no longer had the strength to hold onto the handrail on the roof and fell to the ground. Saya naturally couldn't just watch her fall to the ground. Although there was a very high-end-looking carpet in the car, falling headfirst like that would definitely cause her injury. Leaning forward, he used his other free hand to support Kaguya's slender yet supple waist before looking down at the girl whose face was completely pale.

"Are you alright? Luckily I reacted quickly."

"So how long are you going to hold onto my foot?!"

Kaguya, who was completely limp in Saya's arms, gently punched Saya's chest with a massage-like force and complained to him in a voice as soft as a kitten's murmur.

Chapter 172 Are there also three royal families here?

"I was just worried you'd fall. Who told you to rush up at me and try to hit me?"

Sōyū shrugged and put her back in her original seat.

His hand left her slender waist and excessively soft, silky feet, and Sōyu obediently sat back in his original position.

"You still dare to say that! If you hadn't brought it up first, would I have been able to resist?" Kaguya bit her lower lip, the lingering tingling sensation in her feet and waist turning her face pink. She leaned back against the chair, her breath sweet as orchids, and complained to Wakasaya.

"How can you blame me? I didn't say it out loud."

Saku rubbed his fingers together, the sensation of holding Kaguya's little foot still lingering on his fingertips. How could this girl's skin be so good, and the feel of it was almost too amazing.

Subconsciously, he brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed. Instead of the sour smell usually associated with worn-out leather shoes, he detected an indescribable, fermented floral fragrance that made him blink. Kaguya, seeing him do this, blushed even more deeply. If she were truly exhausted, she would definitely kick this damned guy again. How could he do something like this in front of him?! Even perversion has its limits!

Why do you smell so good?

Before he could finish speaking, Sawa lowered his head and dodged the little leather shoe that Kaguya threw at him.

"If you say another word about this, you can forget about that land!" She was still holding another small leather shoe in her hand. Kaguya glared at Saya; if looks could kill, Saya would be dead by now.

When it came to farming, Saya, who had immediately become quiet, transformed into a serene monk, picking up the little leather shoe Kaguya had thrown at him and placing it under her feet. Only then did he sit back down quietly, as if in deep meditation. Kaguya, seeing his lightning-fast change of expression, felt something stuck in her chest. How could someone be like this? The more she thought about it, the angrier Kaguya became, so she simply turned her head away, no longer caring that Saya was right next to her. She began to rub her still numb little feet with her small hands. She hadn't felt anything strange when she touched them herself, so why did it feel like she'd been electrocuted after he touched them? Hesitantly glancing at Saya, who was staring out the car window like a meditating monk, Kaguya raised an eyebrow.

Sawa ignored Kaguya's angry yet somewhat shy gaze, his mind preoccupied with other things.

Upon closer reflection, it turns out that she was indeed quite concerned about why Kaguya was so familiar with the two children from the Tohsaka family.

Furthermore, given the existence of the Tohsaka family, is there some kind of Holy War in this world, or has it not yet begun?

After all, Sakura is still clearly Rin's sister and hasn't suffered that inhumane abuse. Unable to suppress his curiosity, Saku took a deep breath and looked at Kaguya, tentatively beckoning to her, who was still clearly angry.

"Um, Kaguya, can I ask you something else? Something that's definitely not related to your foot!" Before Kaguya could speak, Saya preemptively asked what he wanted to ask, shrinking back and waiting for her reply. "Go ahead."

Saya usually talks to her like this, and although there's a chance he'll still be a little cheeky, Kaguya still chooses to trust him. If there's anything serious going on, she doesn't want to delay it.

"I remember you just said that you and those two girls from the Tohsaka family are sisters, because the Hazaki family and the Tohsaka family are allies?"

Sawa sat up. When it comes to serious matters, it's better to be serious.

"Well, what's wrong? I practically watched those two kids grow up, so it's understandable that they're attached to me. They're one of the few family members I truly consider family."

Kaguya nodded, and her expression softened considerably when she mentioned the two little ones.

It's clear that she probably really likes those two sisters.

"Are you interested in those two people, or in the Tohsaka family behind them?" Kaguya asked Saya with narrowed eyes, her gaze full of doubt. Since Saya was asking such a serious question, could it be that those two little ones had some other problem?

"It's not certain yet. Why don't you tell me about this so-called Tohsaka family? I'm a little bit curious."

Saya stroked his chin thoughtfully. Judging from what Kaguya said, the Tohsaka family seemed to be a very dangerous conglomerate, just like the family Kaguya belonged to.

"You don't even know about the three major conglomerates? Oh, I remember now, you never seem to care about these things." Kaguya pressed her small hand to her forehead. She realized that Saya wasn't even someone she knew, so there was no need to say anything more about the others.

They absolutely wouldn't understand anything about it.

"My family, representing the Hanazaki family, focuses on foreign trade and export business, as well as various investments. The two kids' families, the Tosaka family, rely on the gemstone business and some formal shopping mall sales for their income."

"Our two families have been allies for decades, but the Tohsaka family has declined somewhat. I heard it's because something happened to their head, Tohsaka Tokimitsu, but I don't really understand it."

Kaguya shared what she knew with Saya before looking into his eyes, trying to figure out why he was asking these questions.

"Wait a minute, if we're talking about the three major conglomerates, there should be another one called Lai Ruo. Could it be Matou?"

Saya covered his forehead and asked Kaguya for confirmation.

"Hmm? You did care about this kind of thing, didn't you? But it was about Matou, not Matou."

Kaguya raised an eyebrow. She really hadn't expected that Saya, who was usually completely indifferent to such matters, would know about this.

Could it be that he had some dealings with the Jian Tong family before?

"However, my family doesn't really like the current head of the Mato family, so the alliance we made a long time ago has faded. On the other hand, I heard that the Tohsaka family has a pretty good relationship with us, and it seems that they are planning to form a marriage alliance recently."
