Don't force me to use my right fist.

Sōyū shrugged. Kaguya's words touched him inexplicably. It was indeed a very happy thing to have someone support him unconditionally.

He quickly finished the breakfast Kaguya had prepared for him. It has to be said that the food that rich people eat is indeed very delicious, leaving Saya feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Seeing Kaguya stop and wipe her mouth with a handkerchief like him, Saku glanced at the large pile of breakfast food left in front of her and licked his lips. "How can this girl eat like a kitten? Isn't this a waste of food?"

Kaguya, noticing Saya's gaze, smiled and pushed the plate of breakfast in front of her, which had only been partially touched, towards him.

"I'm full. If you don't mind, how about we have this?"

Kaguya turned her head away after making this gesture, her face, though trying to appear casual, still couldn't suppress the blush on her cheeks.

"I've been waiting for you to say that. What I hate most is wasting food, okay?"

Saya happily accepted the breakfast Kaguya pushed towards her and continued eating with satisfaction. Kaguya, however, quietly turned her head, placed her small hand under Saya's chin, and watched Saya wolf down her food with her beautiful eyes, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

The only thing that disappointed Kaguya was that the breakfast was prepared by the servants of the Hazaki family. When would she be able to cook something that would elicit such a satisfied and happy expression from him?

"There's one more thing you shouldn't forget. We already agreed on this yesterday. You can't go back on your word today." Kaguya pointed to the clothes that had been placed on Saya's bedside table, reminded Saya, and then secretly pulled open a little of the Sakura Academy uniform she was wearing, revealing the T-shirt that Saya had enchanted for her underneath.

"So, why do you care so much about this?"

Sōyū looked at her in confusion. It's just wearing similar clothes, what special combo skills could she possibly have?

"No. I just wanted to tell some people that you are just one of my people." Kaguya tilted her chin up and smiled at Wakasaya.

Chapter 203 A dead cat isn't a cat anymore, is it?

Amakawa Tsubasa woke up very early today. She didn't know if it was because she was finally able to sleep in bed after a long time, or because she was looking forward to someone coming over. In any case, she woke up around dawn. The room was unusually quiet. Without her two nominal parents who were always arguing, she felt much more relaxed.

After washing up, I took out some groceries from the refrigerator that I had bought at the store after school yesterday. I tied on my apron and stood in the kitchen. We had already agreed to eat bento together, so it wouldn't do to not prepare some for him myself beforehand.

Thinking of that somewhat reserved but always reliable boy, a smile involuntarily crept onto Yu Chuanyi's lips. Before, she cooked only to support herself; for the first time, she realized that cooking for others could be such a blissful experience.

The thought of how that guy had happily taken her to enjoy a bento box in hell yesterday made Yuchuan Xing feel even better. The only thing that troubled her was that Saya didn't seem to have any problems with eating, and she had never seen him show any particular fondness for any food. It wasn't that this was a bad thing, but in that case, she didn't know what to prepare for Saya.

But none of this could affect Amakawa Tsubasa's mood right now. The thought of that guy appearing at the door to greet him made all her worries disappear.

After deliberately doubling the amount of food Saya's bento from yesterday, Amakawa Tsubasa hummed a tune she'd heard somewhere, gathered up the kitchen waste, and carried it out the door. The streets were still quite deserted before six o'clock. After looking around and finding no suspicious people, Amakawa Tsubasa threw the trash into a nearby recycling bin. This was Japan, after all, and as a girl living alone, she naturally had to be careful. Although she knew that if she were in trouble, that guy would most likely descend from the sky to save her like in fairy tales, that would only cause him trouble. However, Amakawa Tsubasa was absolutely certain that Saya would come to her rescue. Perhaps only he would be willing to go to hell for her. Just as Amakawa Tsubasa was about to go back and pack her things to wait for Saya's arrival, she noticed a dark, unidentified object next to the trash can.

Somewhat curious, I walked over and discovered that it was the carcass of a black cat that had probably been killed by a stray dog ​​or something else nearby.

"A stray cat?"

Amakawa Tsubasa remembered Saya's advice to stay away from cats in the future, and stopped her from going over to help clean up the corpse.

But thinking that without Saya's help, she would probably be like this homeless stray cat now, and even survival might be difficult for her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the fallen.

"Saku-kun said he didn't want to touch cats, but a dead cat shouldn't count as that type, right?" In the end, Amakawa Tsubasa didn't choose to ignore it. Instead, he simply dug a small pit in the yard by the door and shoveled the black cat's corpse into it.

Without any pity or sympathy, but simply regarding him as one of their own, Yu Chuanyi returned home after doing all this. While packing her things, she also took a shower, all in preparation for that person's arrival.

After Yuchuan Yi turned and went into the room, a strange white smoke rose from the spot where she had buried the black cat. It followed Yuchuan Yi into the room and disappeared completely above her head. Yuchuan Yi didn't notice this. Feeling no discomfort, she sat down at her dressing table after making thorough preparations and did some light makeup. She usually didn't wear makeup, but this time, she felt an urge to show her best side to Zuoyou. After applying light makeup and carefully applying a lipstick with a sweet, fruity scent suitable for her age, she waited for the long-awaited doorbell to ring. She wasn't worried that Zuoyou would break his promise. She had never seen him fail to keep a promise. As for the others, Yuchuan Yi had only moved here less than two days ago; logically, no one else should be coming to see her. Picking up her schoolbag, Yu Chuanyi smiled at her reflection in the mirror, adjusting her expression to what she considered the most appropriate one, before walking to the door, opening it, and smiling at the boy standing there.

Good morning, Saya-kun.

"Um, good morning. As promised, I've come to pick you up." Saya, standing at the door, also greeted Amakawa Tsubasa. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be getting prettier.

"Well, how should I put it, class monitor, you're in great shape today." After hesitating for a moment, Saku still voiced his thoughts, giving her a thumbs up and praising her generously.

"Oh? What kind of method is considered good?"

Leaning slightly forward, Amakawa Tsubasa put her hands behind her back and squinted as she pressed Saya for answers. This guy wasn't as clueless as she'd imagined; if he could even notice this, it meant he did care about her.

"You mean, you've become even more beautiful. Of course, I'm not saying you weren't pretty before. It's just that... how should I put it? You're more youthful and energetic." - Wihl

Sōyu answered her question seriously. He genuinely felt that Amakawa Tsubasa was much more energetic than when he first met her. In fact, she was almost excessively lively. Her unintentional flirting was almost too much for him to handle.

"If you like it, Saya-kun, how about I do this from now on?"

Seeing that Saya had taken his bag willingly, Tsubasa Amakawa smiled even more happily. As expected, being with him was so much fun.

"Well, whatever you like is fine with me, you don't need to ask me about it."

Sōyu scratched his head. He liked both types of girls, whether they were literary girls or girls with a slightly devilish temper like this one. They were all easy to get along with.

"Hey, how long are you going to dawdle? You're going to be late!" Kaguya's somewhat cold voice interrupted their conversation. Only then did Amakawa Tsubasa notice that Saya wasn't alone at the door. Behind him, the window of a black sedan rolled down, revealing Kaguya inside, wearing a rather odd T-shirt. Amakawa Tsubasa's smile froze. Her gaze lingered on Saya's T-shirt for a moment, then her expression grew even more serious. Was this some kind of provocation?

Chapter 204 Clash

"Saya-kun, could you explain why the clothes you're wearing are the same as Kaguya-kun's? If I'm not mistaken, they're probably matching couple outfits, right?" Amakawa Tsubasa's frozen smile softened as she continued to ask Saya.

"Huh? I wouldn't call it that, it was just something I bought on the spur of the moment. Kaguya liked it, so she wore it." Saya scratched his head, not paying much attention to the matter, and turned to walk towards the car.

"Anyway, let's get on the bus first. It's much more comfortable to go by bus than to walk."

Sawa, who thought he had done something good, was completely unaware of the pleased expression Kaguya showed after seeing Amakawa Tsubasa's stiff smile, and the forced smile Amakawa Tsubasa gave Kaguya.

"So, Saya-kun, are you planning to pick me up from school like this from now on?" Amakawa Tsubasa took a deep breath to calm herself down. She hadn't explained to this guy that it was her fault. She really couldn't trust his thought process at all.

“Yes, it’s so convenient. I already talked to Kaguya, and she said she doesn’t mind.” Saya, who had just opened the car door, nodded to Kaguya inside, then reached out to Tsubasa Amakawa, wanting to pull her up. Tsubasa Amakawa initially wanted to say maybe she should forget it, but after seeing Kaguya’s gloomy little face hidden behind Saya, she swallowed her words. Why should she give in? She could ride in Kaguya’s car; after all, she was going to school with Saya, not Kaguya. She could just treat her as a driver. Placing her hand in Saya’s hand, Tsubasa Amakawa let him pull her into the somewhat luxurious car and sit opposite him.

"Good morning, Kaguya-san." Unable to ignore her any longer, Tsubasa straightened her skirt and gave Kaguya a polite smile, greeting her.

"Good morning." Kaguya was clearly surprised that this guy actually got on the bus. Her eyes held a hint of coldness as she initially didn't want to acknowledge his greeting, but considering Saya was right there, ignoring him would make her seem incredibly ill-mannered. Actually, Kaguya didn't usually care about these things, but she couldn't help wanting to show it in front of Saya. Just like Amakawa Tsubasa, she unconsciously wanted to present a better side of herself to Saya.

"It seems like this is the first time you two have spoken. Why don't you take this opportunity to become friends? I think you two should have a lot in common."

Sitting between the two, Saya was clearly oblivious to the tension emanating from the car. He was still thinking about introducing themselves to each other, hoping to become friends.

"No!" Amakawa Tsubasa and Kaguya answered in unison. After exchanging a glance, they quickly turned their faces away, realizing that the other had the same answer.

"Qin? But I think you two are really alike. Why don't you try getting to know each other? I'll be the middleman."

Zuoyou scratched his face. He hadn't expected their attitude; these two were usually so straightforward, what conflict could they possibly have?

“If we don’t get along, we just don’t get along. Saya-kun, don’t force yourself. We just can’t be friends, it doesn’t mean we’ll definitely become enemies or anything. A normal classmate relationship is fine too, right, Kaguya-kun?” Amakawa Tsubasa moved closer to Saya and took the opportunity to place her hand on his arm before explaining to him in a low voice.

"While I do dislike you, you're right about that. I don't consider you an enemy; you should be grateful." Kaguya, noticing Amakawa Tsubasa's subtle actions, raised an eyebrow. Unable to fully express herself in front of Saya like she did, she could only glare angrily at him before stomping hard on his foot with her small, black-socked foot. Saya was completely bewildered by Kaguya's actions. He looked down at the small foot still pressing down on him, then met Kaguya's gaze with an innocent look. Where had he gotten this from? However, intimidated by her gaze, Saya ultimately didn't ask why. It didn't hurt anyway; he'd just consider it a massage from Kaguya.

"Alright, if you feel that your personalities don't match, then I can't force you. A normal classmate relationship is certainly possible. Since they've said so, Saya naturally can't say anything more and can only let them decide for themselves."

"Speaking of which, I remember that the place you're currently living in, Yuzaki Tsubasa, is provided by the Yuzaki family. Our family also owns quite a few properties around the school. If you find commuting to and from school inconvenient, how about I move you over there?" Yuzaki Kaguya suggested to Tsubasa after noticing the completely unsmiling smile on her face as she subconsciously grabbed Saya's arm. The driver, Reisen, glanced in the rearview mirror. Having spent the most time with Kaguya, she understood that when her young mistress showed this expression, it meant she was currently bottling up a whole host of mischievous ideas she couldn't unleash.

"Oh right, if we move you to a different house, it'll be more convenient for you to go to and from school, right? And I won't have to keep picking you up." Saya nodded. Kaguya's suggestion was indeed quite good. Amakawa Tsubasa smiled back at Kaguya before lowering her head and giving Saya's arm a hard pinch.

"I think this place is fine as it is. Or is it that you, Saya-kun, find your promise to pick me up every day too troublesome, and you want to go back on your word? I won't mind." The expression on her face was completely different from the one she said she wouldn't mind. Saya immediately shrank back. He was only trying to be kind, so why was she starting to hurt him?

"Of course not. If you like, I don't mind if I go a little further. I'm not at the point where I'd back out over something like this."

"That's settled then. But you, Saya, if you keep relying on Kaguya like this, people will definitely gossip, won't they? After your mission ends, will things still be like this?" While seemingly asking Saya a question, Amakawa Tsubasa actually glanced at Kaguya, whose expression had suddenly darkened, and a smile also appeared on her lips. "Who wouldn't do that?"

Chapter 205 I Don't Like You

"That's uncertain. The main issue is that I can't leave Kaguya unattended if I can't guarantee her safety." Saya lowered his head and thought for a while before responding to Amakawa Tsubasa's question. Kaguya's expression finally improved somewhat after hearing his answer.

It wasn't because she was worried about him leaving that she felt uncomfortable; it was simply because she was concerned for her own safety, absolutely. Kaguya clutched her chest, trying to explain herself, but unfortunately, even she couldn't quite accept this reasoning.

"Besides, staying with Kaguya isn't actually a bad thing right now. At least there are enough monsters for me to practice with and improve my combat power. It's a mutual help, I guess." Saya added.

He himself is prone to attracting trouble, while Kaguya is a source of ridicule who is being targeted by an unknown cult and has some unknown secrets. If the two of them are together, they are not much different from a natural magnet for weirdness.

"Is that so? But I remember you said, Saya-kun, that you'd move out sooner or later, and that living in your own house is the most comfortable, right?" Amakawa Tsubasa wasn't too surprised after hearing Saya's answer. After all, that's just his personality; he won't go back on his promises, and that's one of the things she admires most about him. If you ignore his occasional eccentricities, he's practically a perfect person to get along with.

"Why are you asking this? But you guessed right. The reward I agreed to with Kaguya is a house that I can control. I'm going to turn it into a huge vegetable garden and raise a lot of cattle and sheep. I can't forget the fishpond. Just thinking about it makes me feel so comfortable."

Once the topic turned to how to arrange his home, Sawa became animated, talking animatedly about his future plans. His expression suggested he had already laid everything out.

"Then, can I move out and share an apartment with you? I feel a little bad about living in the house that Ms. Yuzaki arranged for me for a long time, since it's her property. I'm only staying here temporarily because of you, right?" Amakawa Tsubasa nodded to Saya, but then turned the conversation to Kaguya who was standing to the side.

"If you feel bad, then get out now." Kaguya wanted to say that, but since it was Saya who had asked her for this, Kaguya knew that now was not the time to lose her temper, no matter how angry she was.

"If you want to live here, you can stay anytime. Even giving you the house wouldn't be a problem, since it was your request, Yu-kun, right?" Kaguya deliberately emphasized the title "Yu-kun" and smiled at Amakawa Tsubasa. She didn't know why she did it, but she just felt that doing so would definitely make this fox-like girl in front of her unhappy.

"Don't make me sound like I'm a freeloader, okay? You don't even see how hard I try to protect you. This is just me helping out my friend."

Sōyu scratched his head. He didn't have any objection to Amakawa Tsubasa's suggestion to share an apartment with him.

Although he's used to living alone, it would be a good idea if someone could remind him that the vegetables in his garden are ripe and even help him roast some beans.

And indeed, Amakawa Tsubasa had nowhere to stay. The reason was his own unilateral decision. Although the final result wasn't bad, it's a fact that she was left homeless.

"If you don't mind, it's not impossible to stay here. And I won't charge you rent or anything. You can move out after you start a new family."

Saya nodded to Amakawa Tsubasa, agreeing to her suggestion.

Kaguya, standing to the side, scoffed. "Wait until she starts a new family? She'll probably never move out. In fact, I bet what she really wants is to move from the living room into the master bedroom!"

Kaguya, clenching her little fists, now just wanted to blow up the house she'd originally planned for Saya. There was nothing wrong with him living with her from now on; with the power of the Hazaki family, how could they possibly be afraid of not being able to support him?

Saya's personality is actually quite similar to hers. What they hate most is someone breaking their promises, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of trust. Although Kaguya is a bit willful, she doesn't want to step on Saya's landmines in this regard. However, this doesn't mean she'll just let Saya and this guy live together.

"That's a long way off. The organization that wants to target me isn't as simple as you think. For the first time, Kaguya thought it might be a good thing that the Church of Truth was targeting her. She pursed her lips, wishing that these guys' attacks would last for a few years or something."

This gives her a reason to keep Saya by her side. But once things become a habit, refusing becomes much more difficult.

However, Kaguya knew that this was just her own delusion. Through countless reincarnations, no matter how much she struggled, she could not get through her eighteenth birthday smoothly. Now, even with Saya's help, the other side would definitely launch a full-scale attack before that day.

Sister, we've arrived at school.

Lingxian, who had overheard the entire conversation between the three people behind her, sighed and interrupted them.

In the conversation just now, their young lady was clearly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Zhu You is naturally oblivious; judging from his expression, he clearly doesn't realize the two almost came to blows because of him. He probably still thinks they're just having a normal conversation and even wants them to be friends. What, does he want to be a two-winged angel?

However, it was time for this brief exchange to stop. Once they were in the school with other students, these two certainly wouldn't dare to continue their sarcastic remarks.

"Oh? We've arrived? Let me carry your bags."

Sōyū volunteered to carry the two girls' schoolbags and got off the bus first, then walked towards the classroom.

Kaguya, who was in the car, exchanged a glance with Tsubasa Amakawa before walking past her.

I don't like you.

A deliberately lowered voice sounded in Amakawa Tsubasa's ear, causing her to glance at the girl who had taken the initiative to follow behind Saya before muttering a sentence in the same tone.

Who isn't?
