As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

"She said she would definitely get beaten up if it weren't for you, so she asked me to bring you out."

“I didn’t go there for her,” said Kagura Tendou.

Suzuka Ise immediately stole a glance at him and found that his cold face was not only no longer annoying, but extremely kind. She used to think he was aloof, but now he seemed very down-to-earth and steady.

She felt so happy to have an older brother, as if she had won the lottery. But she said seriously, "Xigong knows about this, but it is an undeniable fact that you saved her. She said that the result should not be denied because of the initial intention, so she begs you to give her a chance to repay the favor."

She spoke softly and delicately, her face showing great sincerity. She spoke fluently and logically, as if she had rehearsed the words countless times in her mind, or perhaps the two girls had prepared a draft beforehand.

Kagura Tendou shook her head slightly: "You accept it on my behalf."

He hadn't expected this connection. He hadn't interacted with Suzuka's classmates before, but after hearing what Suzuka said, he immediately thought she was a good girl who would repay kindness and was probably very principled, but he just found her troublesome.

The new node is particularly troublesome, as he may have to descend every day from now on, and with Nishimiya Yuzuru stuck at this point, Tendo Kagura really has no mood to go out.

"Brother, that's my only friend!"

Suzuka Ise's expression changed, and she looked at him pitifully.

She didn't interact much with Nishimiya Yuzuru. She was the least noticeable person in the class and wanted to get along well with her classmates, but she struggled to integrate into the environment and her circumstances were not good, so she was always very self-conscious. The latter, on the other hand, often skipped school and always had a cool demeanor.

But when she was going through a tough time and couldn't even get on the bus, she cursed Kagura Tendou thousands of times in her heart. Finally, she held back her anger and asked a few classmates near her seat for money. But middle school students have limited pocket money, and she was so desperate that she was about to jump off a building. Only Nishimiya Yuzuru, whom she happened to meet, lent her money.

It goes without saying what it means to offer help in times of need. She remembered this kindness deeply and was moved to tears, so she regarded Nishimiya Yuzuru as her best friend.

Seeing that Kagura Tendo remained silent and did not answer, she jumped off the chair, ran over, grabbed his arm, and shook it back and forth: "Okay, brother."

She often acted coquettishly towards her grandmother, which was one of her specialties, and she also got along well with Endo Yoko. However, she was much more unfamiliar with Tendo Kagura. Apart from the time she got confused by money and crawled over to her, this was the first time she had been in close contact with Tendo Kagura—she used to always keep a safe distance.

This time, she took the initiative to approach him and found that Kagura Tendo was different from what she had imagined. His arms looked slender, and she could never have imagined that these arms could quickly knock down three people his age. But when she touched them, they were very fleshy. The thin clothing made the touch more obvious. It was an extremely soft feeling, like it was made of water.

Moreover, because the sticker was applied so tightly, she could faintly smell a strange fragrance. Her small ears twitched immediately, but the fragrance was not obvious, so she thought it was just her imagination.

She thought Kagura was a cold, tough guy.

Suzuka Ise genuinely wanted to help Yuzuru Nishimiya, and felt that it was nothing to Kagura Tendo, just a matter of going out to meet him; it wasn't good for him to always stay at home.

Her appearance wasn't particularly striking, mainly because she had some freckles on her face. However, she had a small face, commonly known as a palm-sized face, with slender, delicate eyebrows that arched upwards. Her forehead sloped down in the middle, and her widow's peak was perfectly formed. Her hair on both sides was symmetrical and fell in an arc, outlining a standard heart-shaped face.

This is a classic widow's peak hairstyle. If Suzuka removed her freckles and her facial features matured, she would appear extremely dignified and elegant, very beautiful. In ancient times, she would definitely have been a princess-level beauty.

This trait should be attributed to genetics, and the chances of it being inherited are extremely low.

Kagura Tendo had met Suzuka's father; the chubby man had a gentle smile, but his appearance could only be described as kind, lacking any widow's peak features.

He looked at Suzuka Ise with an expectant expression; the girl's eyes were bright and large, as if they were sparkling.

Moreover, her mental state has improved a lot during this period. Her face used to be pale and her hair was slightly dry and yellow, which was probably due to hormonal issues, but recently it has become much rosier, like a wildflower budding.

Tendou Kagura pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He agreed, and it really wasn't a big deal.

Suzuka jumped up with joy and hugged Tendo Kagura's arm, not only because of Nishimiya Yuzuru, but also because she felt that her future was finally settled.

"Brother, thank you."

……

It's past midnight.

I'll try my best to get the fourth update out today, let's see how many votes you all give!

Your support is my motivation!! Let's go!!

Actually, the savior just wants to play single-player game: Chapter 44: The Third Arrival [Fourth update, please collect and recommend]

Kagura Tendo remained unmoved by Suzuka Ise's gratitude.

What he did was within the normal range for an older brother, and he felt that these things were insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Moreover, this girl has an extreme personality and sometimes can't control herself. But no one helped her before, so she was always timid and submissive to outsiders—he was also an outsider, otherwise he would have revealed his true nature long ago. It seems that she has only recently been accepted.

However, it's normal to be wary; Tendo Kagura doesn't feel she should do anything to please her.

He was the elder brother, not a slave.

Just take good care of her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation; stand up for her when she is humiliated; and tell her what to do when she is confused about life.

If we treat her too well, she might lose sight of her place in the world—Ise Reika is extremely sensitive and suspicious, vengeful, comes from the countryside, and is very insecure, making her prone to drastic personality changes.

Tendou Kagura didn't want to raise an arrogant and domineering young lady. People with a poor spiritual world are very prone to becoming arrogant once they gain power, which is how the saying "a fox borrows the tiger's might" comes about.

He wouldn't want to make things difficult for himself, so he's been observing Suzuka Ise for the past two months, but hasn't found anything wrong with him yet.

It's normal to meet some of her conditions, after all, she's his sister.

Kagura Tendo pried open Reika Ise's hand. Was this girl addicted to touching her?

He has exceptional flexibility and talent. When his whole body is tense, he is like a cheetah ready to pounce, impervious to even a knife. His muscles are as hard as stone. But every time he returns to reality, he relaxes his whole body, emptys his mind, and tries his best not to act like a spring, instinctively retaliating at the slightest touch.

It's very easy for someone to die.

This resulted in his body being extremely supple, his muscles like cotton, and even his bones feeling soft.

……

As the third time Kagura descended, he stood atop a high slope, gazing at the increasingly chaotic sky, and frowned slightly.

The situation is getting worse.

Kagura Tendou rode his motorcycle southward at breakneck speed, passing through many abandoned towns and encountering scattered human settlements along the way. None of these settlements had more than a thousand people, with the largest numbering only around five hundred.

He would stop from time to time to communicate with them and inquire about information, and then set off on his journey again in less than ten minutes.

As darkness began to fall, Kagura Tendou found a city with a transparent area and slowly rode her bicycle into it.

This must be a city with heavy industry; Kagura Tendou saw many factories.

Unlike the deathly dark world, this place is desolate, and you can still see some people walking around the city.

He found an abandoned factory, parked his car, opened the door, and was slightly taken aback to find a group of people living there.

There were no signs of life outside, so he thought no one lived there.

Those people also followed the sound and saw Tendou Kagura. The two looked at each other and remained silent for a few seconds.

Tendou Kagura turned to leave, but the people called him back.

“There are still places to stay here,” a middle-aged man said, but seeing that Tendo Kagura didn’t stop, he added, “It’s getting dark. There’s an office to the left of the factory; you can go there too.”

Tendou Kagura silently arrived at the place they had mentioned.

It's a simple office, but the space is quite spacious, and there are quite a few desks.

Tendou Kagura pieced these desks together to form a makeshift bed.

A few little ones were peeking in from outside the office door. Kagura Tendou looked at them and stopped what she was doing.

They were not very old, the youngest being seven or eight years old and the oldest twelve or thirteen, about the same age as Suzuka.

"Where are you from?" asked an older child. He had dark skin, as if it had been scorched by fire, spoke with a bold accent, and wore tattered clothes. He didn't seem very shy.

He was followed by four or five children, both boys and girls.

It's rare to see anyone come here, especially people in clean uniforms.

Tendou Kagura initially didn't want to pay attention to these children, but seeing their bewildered and curious expressions, she remained silent for a moment before replying.

"north."

"Which city in the north?" The children stood at the door, not coming in.

“Luo An.” Tendou Kagura mentioned a city he remembered, the same city where the Lord of the Wasteland had descended.

“Isn’t Luo’an the city where the Lord of the Wasteland failed to descend…” a child said impatiently, sounding a bit boastful, but the first child to speak suddenly elbowed him. The child immediately realized what was happening, lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry.”

Kagura Tendou remained calm: "It's almost dark."

“Yes. It’s very close to the factory, they won’t worry.” He looked at Tendo Kagura, who was standing there motionless, and asked, “May I come in?”

"can."

After receiving permission, the children seemed excited and began to file in one after another.

"There are so many people here, aren't you worried about being attacked?"

"It's alright, it's been a long time, they're evenly dispersed, and there's no outside reinforcement, so the shadow creatures won't attack here."

"Do you rarely see outsiders?" Tendo Kagura asked, taking out a handful of chocolates from behind her and handing them to the older child.

"Anyway, you're the only one we've seen in the past six months."

He hadn't expected to receive a gift. Holding the chocolates in both hands, the other children were getting restless. He looked at the exquisite packaging, swallowed hard, and then gave one to each of the other children. He carefully put the remaining half-handful into his pocket.

"Thank you. We haven't had chocolate in a long time, no, we haven't had anything this delicious in a long time."

"Do you also lack supplies in the city?" Tendou Kagura glanced at the children. He knew about the decline in production, but he didn't expect it to be this serious.

The older child paused for a moment, then said, “The resources we used to have are almost all used up. I heard them say that they can’t organize people to start factories and produce clothes and food… But I think the main reason is that there’s no land in the city to grow anything. Recently, they’ve been discussing demolition work, digging up the soil, and saying they want to grow some staple foods.”

“You have a northern accent,” Tendo Kagura said.

“Yes, we all migrated here,” he said softly, his expression somber. “There were millions at first, but after we arrived here, only a few remained.”

“Migration…” Tendou Kagura silently pondered the word.

"Speaking of which, we're from the same hometown." The boy was downcast for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed heartily. "My name is Notan."

Kagura Tendou noticed the sadness he was hiding, but said nothing.

What's your name?

"Kagura," Tendou Kagura said softly.

"Are you one of the remaining resistance fighters?" Notan looked at Kagura Tendo's straight back, which was extremely upright even when sitting, like a pine tree, very stylish.

As it grew darker, he could no longer clearly see Kagura's face; the light and shadow were indistinct.

"Didn't the resistance army collapse a few years ago? Why don't you say I'm one of Akabane's men?" Kagura Tendo's tone was very calm.

The sky finally became completely dark, without a single ray of light.

Light in the darkness can also attract shadowy creatures.

Kagura Tendou raised his hand and removed his goggles, activating his Dark Eyes, revealing everything in perfect detail. His expression was calm and serene.
