Don't force me to use my right fist.

The problem is that her attack methods are still too simplistic. She might be able to overpower ordinary humans or weaker monsters by relying on her superhuman strength and speed, but when she encounters a monster with some intelligence and strength, it becomes a very obvious weakness.

Even though this thing had been transformed into a maid with an indistinct face and no discernible structure, it still didn't quite seem like something Kaguya could directly keep by her side to protect her. Even if it was explained as some kind of high-tech marvel, it wouldn't convince anyone. So, after only a brief moment of thought, and waiting for his magic power to fully replenish, Saku quickly constructed a new magic circle. This time, Saku didn't use iron as the main material, but instead threw in a whole diamond block. As for the materials for the auxiliary properties, Saku added some things besides pumpkin this time. First, he put in some bones, and after hesitating for a moment, he threw in some beef and two pieces of leather. Feeling like he was playing a human transmutation game, Saku scratched his head. Since it was an experiment, he might as well use all his ideas. He directly conjured an iron sword on the spot and threw it into the bound property slot, then nodded in satisfaction. He then poured magic power into it again.

When the light completely faded, a girl with dull eyes and long, cute bull horns stood in front of Saya. She was still wearing a gleaming gold maid outfit, but this time, she had skin and flesh like a human.

"It actually works?"

Saya scratched his head. The connection he had established with the girl in front of him confirmed that even though she looked completely like a human, she was essentially just an iron golem that could only simply accept orders.

No. If we take into account the difference in materials, Zuoyou thinks this should be called a Diamond Puppet Tree.

"Try attacking me!"

Zuoyou continued to test the other party's performance. If the materials weren't compatible, wouldn't all his work have been for nothing?

Then, the girl who had been standing on Ruo's side and looking Ruo around suddenly appeared next to Ruo with a speed that Ruo and Zuoyou could hardly react. A silver-white iron sword appeared in her hand at some point, and she swept it directly towards Zuoyou with a terrifying blade.

"Holy crap, its performance has improved that much?" Before he could even give her an order to stop him, Saya quickly grabbed his shield and blocked the attack that should have cleaved him in two. He then twitched his lips and ordered the maid, who was still trying to pursue, to stop. No wonder it was made of diamond; and perhaps due to other ingredients mixed in, its speed and strength had more than doubled. Combined with its chaotic swordsmanship, which relied purely on the sheer force of the diamond bricks, Saya felt that among all the enemies he had encountered before, only that strangely powerful Westerner might have a chance of defeating it. As for the rest, Saya didn't think they could last more than a few rounds against this thing.

"It's unlikely that such a good thing would be given to the winery for research."

Saya scratched his head. If he were to hand over this level of craftsmanship to the brewery, he'd be losing out big time. It was better to keep it at home for now, to have it by Kaguya's side to protect her. Even with limited time, it could still be a great help to Saya. The prerequisite was that he had to put a hat on that horned maid; otherwise, if the horns were discovered, it wouldn't be easy to explain. Nodding contentedly, Saya looked at the two maids who, without his orders, were now wandering aimlessly like ordinary puppets. He couldn't help but pinch his chin.

"Since I created you, I'll give you a name. Calling you Iron Golems isn't quite right." whl

"How about we call it Humagear? You are 01, so you are 02."

With a mischievous grin, Sōyu smiled at the two bewildered iron golem girls.

Chapter 175 This is more suitable for you

The distillery staff arrived quickly. They took the highly complex technology of the Iron Puppet Master very seriously. So much so that the person sent to communicate with Sōyū and Kaguya was none other than the Distillery's current pinnacle of martial prowess, the Sixteen Leaves Alliance.

When Saya saw who it was, he couldn't help but smile with relief. Of all people to send, he had to bring in a mole; Haruka really miscalculated. However, this was actually a good thing for Saya; at least he wouldn't be so restrained, and he could also ask her some questions that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Renya, who was led in by Reisen, glanced at Sōyū before turning his gaze away.

"Where is Miss Hanezaki?"

Saya answered her question and pointed in the direction of Kaguya's room.

"No need, I'm already awake." Kaguya's voice came from behind Saya. After sleeping, Kaguya, who had hidden all her weakness, had returned to her usual cool and aloof demeanor.

Kaguya exchanged a glance with Saya. After seeing him nod, Kaguya continued her conversation with Fuya.

"If we're talking about those self-regulating machines, we can go to this guy's room to discuss it. Dong is ready too."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yuzaki." Following Saya and Kaguya, they went to Saya's room, while the rest of the brewery staff and Reisen remained outside.

The moment Kaguya and Renya entered, their attention was immediately drawn to the two strangely dressed maids standing quietly in the room.

Kaguya and Renya both knew very well that these two people shouldn't have been in this temporary residence. Moreover, the maid, whose entire body was made of metal, was particularly striking; even if she were a robot, wasn't she a bit too exquisitely crafted?

"Who are these two?" Renye clearly sensed a hint of danger from the two maids and couldn't help but look at Zuoyou, asking directly.

Now that they know Saya's background, they naturally know that he was the one who revealed all this. There's no need to ask Kaguya unnecessarily. Kaguya also looked at Saya with a curious gaze; she didn't know how he had conjured up these two maids out of thin air.

"This is probably the latest robot developed. It's essentially the same as those two over there."

Saya could tell from Renya's reaction that she didn't seem to regard the two maids as strange, which was a bit odd. These two things were created using his magic, yet they weren't considered strange either? Pointing to the temporary iron golems made for delivery, Saya explained to Renya.

"Robot maids, you certainly have a wide range of interests. But, is this one a robot too?" After glancing at the mechanical maid that Saya named 01, Renya turned his gaze to the maid beside him, who was practically indistinguishable from a living person.

If the former could be explained by advanced alchemical techniques, then the latter can only be described as magic, right?

Human transformation is roughly at this level.

"Well, you could say that. They're the bodyguards I prepared for Kaguya. 01 is in charge of guarding the house, and 02 is responsible for protecting her safety when I'm not around." Saya didn't hide anything, smiling at Kaguya beside her, and introduced the two iron golems he had summoned with magic to them.

"Oh right, I've already thought of what to call them and those two robots over there. I'll just call them Humagears."

The two mechanical maids on Saya Asawa's side waved to each other, signaling them to stand behind Kaguya.

"Hmm, that's good." Kaguya was initially somewhat annoyed by the two maids who had suddenly appeared in Saya's room, but after hearing Saya's explanation, she felt a touch of emotion.

He may not say anything, but he's actually quite concerned about her safety.

"Could you trade these two models of yours in the same way as those two over there?"

Seeing the more advanced model, Lianye was naturally no longer satisfied with the two foolish iron puppets that Saya had promised to give to the brewery. She pointed at the two mechanical maids and...

"Not really. These all require magic to operate. If I don't replenish their power in time, they'll quickly shut down automatically. The kind over there is obviously more suitable for you. Of course, if you can figure out its principles or crack its technology, that's your skill." Zuo You shrugged. He wasn't worried about the iron golems being like this. First, these things are purely generated by the system's mechanism. Cracking it wouldn't be that simple. In addition, the principle of the iron golems is that they won't attack ordinary people. The only ones they hate are those who harm those they mistake for villagers in front of them and those strange beings.

In this way, even if the Blacksmith wanted to control these two iron golems to do anything else, it would be impossible. At best, they could be used as experimental subjects or as gatekeepers. This is why Sawa didn't refuse the Blacksmith's offer. These things are inherently incapable of doing evil.

"By the way, those two are perpetual motion machines, you know," Zuoyou reminded Lianye. Just as he said, without him recharging them, these two mechanical maids were probably just disposable items. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Iron Golems were more suitable for the brewery. Lianye, unperturbed by Zuoyou's refusal, went over and patted the two iron golems, which were much more powerful than the mechanical maids. The dull thud made the Iron Golem lower its head, its large nose tilting slightly, its red eyes meeting Lianye's. Just as Zuoyou was about to warn it that it might retaliate, the Iron Golem seemed to understand something, suddenly producing a bright red poppy flower in its hand and raising it directly at Lianye.

"Huh? This can be considered a young villager?"

Sawa scratched his head, watching this scene, and silently muttered a complaint.

Chapter 176 It's easier if they're not Paowa people

"Now that we've provided what we agreed upon, it's time you told us what information we need, right?" Kaguya's thinking was clearer; she stood directly in front of Renya and began questioning her about the Enma sword. Although Sawa had said this information wasn't directly related to her affairs, the problem was that Sawa was her man, and helping him secure this deal was naturally her responsibility.

“Miss Yuzaki, isn’t there a bit of a rush? Let me inspect the goods first, won’t I?” Lianye took the red poppy from the iron golem. After sniffing it, she confirmed it was just an ordinary flower. As for the iron golems, they weren’t much different from the two the distillery had recorded at Yuzaki’s house—their size, material, and even their clumsy behavior were identical to those in the video. After verifying that there were no problems with the two iron golems, Lianye turned around and sat on the table in Saya’s room.

"The item itself isn't the problem, so there's no need for me to hide anything about the so-called Yama Blade you want to know." Pointing to a spot nearby, indicating that Saya and Kaguya could sit down and discuss it, Renya then gently smoothed her silver braid and began to speak about the brewery's situation regarding the item.

"Judging from the shape and design of the knife you described, I think it must be the one that was once kept in the distillery."

"However, the only difference is that although that sword is indeed much sharper than ordinary swords, it is not indestructible." Lianye glanced at Zuoyou, who was listening attentively to her, and paused before continuing to tell what she knew.

"If it were Miss Yuzaki who needed it, it wouldn't be a particularly troublesome matter for the brewery to bring out that sword as a gesture of goodwill. However, unfortunately, the sword was lost two years ago." Renya sighed, a hint of disappointment clearly appearing in her eyes as she said this.

"Lost?" Kaguya didn't care about the reasons behind it; a merchant only cares about the outcome of the transaction, nothing else matters. Therefore, Sawa is not suited to be a merchant, because he's easily swayed by emotions, and in business transactions, this sway is extremely detrimental.

"Yes, that's right. A few years ago, there were some minor accidents at the distillery, resulting in the loss of many vinegar makers, including that knife." Lian Ye nodded, shaking off the heavy feeling of loss.

"So, what we want to know is where this sword is now, not to hear your stories about the brewery's past." Kaguya continued to ask, her eyes narrowed, though Saya actually wanted to add something, as he would have been very willing to hear the brewery's story.

"Currently, this sword should be in the hands of that guy who escaped from the brewery. I think I heard she used a samurai sword before." Renya answered Kaguya's question, but her gaze fell on Saya beside her.

"The guy you're talking about, is he an oddity?" Saya asked, playing along. So, besides him, there were other oddities who had escaped from the brewery?

"Yes. Not only that. But it's also closely related to the strange thing I asked you to investigate. After all, the one we're currently tracking is one of her familiars."

"You mean, that guy is also a vampire?" Instead of showing the troubled expression that Renya had expected, Sōyū asked her as if he was relieved.

"Yes, to be precise, he's a vampire who's almost at the level of a True Ancestor, and of course, one of the Black Organization's absolute nemesis." Renya reminded Saya in front of her. Even if she stepped in now, she couldn't say she could easily overpower him, even with her trump cards. But Saya felt even more relaxed. It was good that whl wasn't some hair gel user who couldn't double jump; otherwise, Saya was genuinely worried that her throws might be a bit weak against him. Saya didn't want to experience being launched into the air and unable to fall, with three S's appearing beside her.

"That expression of yours, are you looking down on this guy?" Lianye frowned. Saya's underestimation of his opponent—did he possess some trump card to deal with the vampire?

"No, I've never even seen Lai Ruo. Why don't you tell me, what exactly does this so-called near-True Ancestor strength look like?" Zuo You only snapped out of his daze when she said this, scratching his head before replying. In any case, it's unlikely to be more troublesome than the original master, right?

"Vampires at this level, or rather, Dead Apostles, have completely lost the weaknesses of ordinary vampires. They ignore the restraint of silver, are not afraid of sunlight, and even their hearts are no longer a weakness. Only by completely incinerating them can they be destroyed." Lianye rubbed her temples. With her extensive experience fighting vampires, she naturally knew how annoying these guys were.

"Moreover, at this level, they possess cunning and treachery no less than humans, not to mention their physical constitution far surpassing that of humans, and their eerie dark magic." After explaining the troublesome nature of this creature to Saya, Renye finally looked at him. Having told him so much, he should have realized just how troublesome this strange thing was. However, what she saw was Saya looking at her with an expression of utter indifference.

"Oh, that's pretty impressive. So, where is this guy now? Can you give me a rough idea of ​​his location? If I can take care of this thing, it'll be good for the brewery." Saya pinched his chin, brimming with confidence as if defeating that vampire was a foregone conclusion.

"I only need that knife then, you shouldn't have any objections, right? Oh, and don't forget what you promised me, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Chapter 177 Saga, the Target

"The question you asked is something we at the brewery also want to know. If we could know the exact location of the other party, do you think, given Harujiu's current personality, she would still let her live?" Lianye narrowed his eyes. "In fact, Harujiu's obsession right now is this guy. If Sōyū can really help them kill this guy, it would be a huge help to the brewery."

"Doesn't that still mean nothing? It means the knife is in the hands of that vampire you mentioned, and if I want to get it, I have to find that vampire first, right?"

After sorting through the clues, Zuoyou came to a general conclusion.

"Yes, and if you want to get clues about the vampire who wields this knife, then my only breakthrough is to investigate this member of Ruo's kin."

If Yasun continued speaking as Saya suggested, then this matter would be of no harm to the brewery, and if Saya were willing to help deal with these vampires, that would be even better.

Moreover, even if Saga is defeated, they haven't actually lost anything.

"Alright, then here's another question: where is that clan you mentioned right now?"

Sōyū tapped the table. Judging from Lényī's report, things had come full circle. He didn't even know who to look for or where to look. In this vast neon-lit world, expecting him to find a vampire hidden among humans was a bit too much to ask.

"I don't know, but the only clue is that the last place we spotted this guy was near the private Paradise Hospital in Tokyo."

"Paradise Hospital? It really is, how should I put it, quite an auspicious name."

Sōyū's lips twitched, but at least he had a tiny clue and a lead, so he wasn't searching around like a headless fly anymore, which was the only good thing.

That's basically all the information you wanted. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

Lianye sat up straight. That was all the winery knew about the Enma Blade. She had even made an exception and told Saya about the location of the vampire's activities. As for other things, she couldn't say anything more.

“If we’re talking about official business, then there’s nothing, but I do have some personal questions I’d like to ask you.” Saya scratched his head. He did indeed have some questions for Renya, since she was an expert in dealing with the supernatural, and asking her was obviously the easiest and quickest way to resolve his doubts. Upon hearing about Saya’s personal matters, Kaguya, who had been silently listening from the side, perked up her ears, clearly very interested in the relationship between Saya and the silver-haired beauty in front of her.

"Ask away. As for whether I'll answer you, that depends on what I say after I've heard it all." Lian Ye picked up a small silver knife from her waist, while examining the nails on her fair hands, and replied to Zuo You. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated.)

"So you're saying you're pretty sure I'm a weirdo, right?" Saya frowned. Whether it was her, Mami, or even those guys from the Church of Truth, they all insisted he was a weirdo when they saw him. But the problem was, he really couldn't figure out what the difference was between him and humans like Renya who had special abilities.

"Yes, although you may find it hard to accept, that's the truth." Lianye nodded.

"Is it really okay to talk to this guy about something like this?" Kaguya frowned. Saya was supposed to be a weirdo, but was it really alright to talk about it in front of this brewery employee?

"She already knew. This is the leverage I mentioned to you last time, so don't worry."

After comforting Kaguya, Saya turned his attention to Renya beside him.

"What's the reason? How did you tell I was a monster and not human?"

"Didn't I tell you last time? The aura I sensed from you has that unique, strange smell." Lianye stared into Ruozao's eyes, somewhat puzzled as to what the point of asking the question again was.

"Then I probably don't have that kind of aura anymore, right? Otherwise, Qingjiu and the others would have already discovered my true identity, Shu."

Sōyū stood up, pointed to his current self, and then asked.

"Indeed, but strange things are very good at hiding among humans."

"Pfft, how about this then?"
