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

She talked for a long time but couldn't say a word. She felt like she couldn't breathe and realized that she was having a relapse. She quickly covered her chest and gasped for breath, trying to calm herself down.

But the effect was minimal, and she experienced severe chest pain. Reika Ise's bright eyes were filled with fear as she wondered if she would die here.

Her mind became increasingly confused, and she didn't even hear what Tendo Kagura said.

"what happened to you?"

Kagura Tendo frowned slightly, sensing that Suzuka Ise seemed to be in a bad state; her heart was beating rapidly, she couldn't breathe, and it seemed like there was something wrong with her body.

He reached out to pat Suzuka's back, but then pulled his hand back.

He noticed the child's wariness when she first arrived, and she avoided him when walking, never giving him a chance to be alone with him. Even after Endo Yoko left, she deliberately avoided communicating with him, and the longest sentence she said each day was "I'm back." Although she was very polite, this politeness made it difficult to get close to her.

The two people had no emotional foundation.

He wasn't a particularly warm-hearted person, and it's impossible that he genuinely considered Suzuka Ise as his blood-related younger sister; that would be too fake.

At most, I'll just fulfill my obligations. I'll think that he can do the laundry and cooking, and I just hope that Suzuka Ise won't cause any trouble.

Moreover, the more important reason for withdrawing his hand was that Suzuka Ise's condition had begun to improve.

She fussed for a while, then curled up in the chair, her body trembling from time to time. The newborn fawn, with its thin body, resembled the tumbleweed he had seen in the apocalypse.

She was so frail that a gust of wind could blow her away.

Weak and pitiful.

Suzuka Ise breathed softly, short and forceful, trying to deliver as much oxygen as possible to her body.

Her once clear and bright eyes were now filled with mist and water, cold sweat soaked her hair, and her face was terribly pale.

Reika Ise felt a wave of fear wash over her. Thankfully, it wasn't a heart attack, but rather intermittent chest pain, a symptom of asthma. Otherwise, she would have been dead.

She rubbed her nose, and after calming down, she caught a glimpse of Kagura Tendo still standing there.

That damn bastard! I almost died, and this guy just stood there watching without even moving. What a cold-blooded, heartless bastard!

Filled with resentment and panic, she suddenly had the idea of ​​leaving, returning to that backward countryside, and never coming to the big city again. In this world, only her grandmother truly loved her. As for Tendo Kagura and Endo Yoko, they were all bastards.

But the cold reality quickly extinguished her thoughts.

What are you taking? All your living expenses are with this bastard.

She was lucky to pull through this time, but what about next time?

Suzuka Ise gritted her teeth, feeling that her future was bleak and hopeless.

No matter how much she cursed, it was useless; she didn't dare say it out loud.

Kagura Tendo glanced at her for a few moments and said, "There's something wrong with your body."

Suzuka Ise hurriedly retorted, "No, no, I'm perfectly healthy!"

She was young but not stupid. Her father had abandoned her in the countryside because he thought she was sickly, and he rarely saw her throughout the year.

Her asthma was cured long ago, and her congenital heart disease wouldn't flare up easily anymore. That's what her grandmother told her, but she had to keep it a secret from Endo Yoko, pretending to be a healthy person so she wouldn't be abandoned.

Tendou Kagura looked at her without saying a word.

Unable to bear the pressure, Suzuka Ise finally burst into tears: "I'm really not sick."

If Kagura Tendo reports it, then it's all over.

"Why don't you believe me?" Suzuka Ise covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and crystal tears fell like beans.

Kagura was stunned. He had only wanted to ask, but seeing Suzuka Ise so agitated, he gave up on taking her to the hospital. She was indeed in much better condition now.

"I believe you."

"Really?" Suzuka Ise didn't believe it; she didn't even believe her own words.

Kagura Tendou nodded slightly.

"Can you not tell Aunt Yezi? I'll listen to you in everything from now on."

Kagura Tendo nodded again.

He rarely made consecutive statements; he was always a man of his word. Ise Suzuka gradually felt relieved. Then she thought Tendo Kagura was a real bastard; she had only gotten this cold-blooded guy to let her go by playing the victim.

"Go wash your face," Kagura Tendo said suddenly, unaware that Suzuka Ise was cursing him in her heart.

Suzuka Ise realized that she looked rather disheveled, with even her grayish-yellow hair clip almost falling off, so she ran to the bathroom and didn't come out until ten minutes later.

Kagura Tendo was sitting on the sofa in a daze when she saw Suzuka Ise come out; she had almost recovered.

He waved to Suzuka Ise.

Suzuka Ise came over obediently. While others were bullies at home, she was a bully in her heart, only daring to curse the bastards in her mind.

With their weakness in someone else's hands, they were already powerless, and now they dare not resist at all.

"What did you want to tell me just now?" Kagura Tendo was sitting on the sofa and was about the same height as Suzuka Ise when she was standing.

"It's nothing..." Suzuka Ise said weakly.

She had some aspirations, but now they are just unattainable dreams.

Kagura Tendo remained silent, allowing Suzuka Ise to continue speaking.

Before him, perhaps having just faced a life-or-death situation and becoming indifferent to everything, Suzuka Ise stammered out the truth: "It's just... Aunt Yezi's allowance for living expenses is all gone."

She didn't dare say it was pocket money, she could only say it was living expenses.

Tendou Kagura was stunned.

living expenses?

Before leaving, Endo Yoko gave him one million yen, saying it was for his living expenses. She didn't explain the specific plans, telling him to figure it out himself and to ask her for more if he needed it.

He didn't think much of it, because Endo Yoko was very good at making money, and she was carefree in her daily life, never calculating money carefully, and he didn't care about the million dollars.

His only expenses are water, electricity, gas, food, and household items. At most, he needs to buy a new light bulb when it breaks—he can fix these himself. He doesn't even need to call a professional to fix a leaky toilet or a malfunctioning air conditioner.

More than a month has passed, and the water and electricity bills haven't been paid yet. After a rough calculation, it seems that more than 100,000 yuan has been spent. Tiandao Shenle doesn't know if it's a lot or a little, but he hasn't had any extra expenses. He has never bought any drinks or snacks, and the clothes and shoes were all bought before.

"Yoko didn't give you any money?" Tendo Kagura found Endo Yoko's behavior inexplicable.

He had never asked Suzuka Ise how much money she had, assuming she had at least a million or at least five hundred thousand. He never expected that Yoko would be so careless.

“I gave it to you.” Suzuka Ise’s voice was weak. When she arrived here, Yoko Endo not only helped her obtain the necessary identification documents, but also arranged for her to attend a private high school five kilometers away. The fees alone amounted to nearly two million yen.

However, the money that Suzuka Ise mentioned was the money that Yoko Endo gave her when she took her to buy clothes.

The dress cost 49,990 yen in total, with a 9.8% discount. Endo Yoko liked it at first sight, but she was only concerned about the cost. When it came time to get her change, she didn't pay any attention and had to go to the counter to get it herself.

Then Endo Yoko never mentioned it again; she had her own selfish reasons and secretly hid the 1,000 yen.

But feeling guilty, she couldn't sleep soundly, her heart pounding every time she thought about it. She struggled for two days before finally deciding to tell Endo Yoko about it. However, Endo Yoko left in a hurry, and before she could even speak, she boarded a plane without leaving a word.

She didn't have a cell phone and didn't know Endo Yoko's number, so she could only hope that Tendo Kagura would give her some money every day.

But that bastard never mentioned money to her, and she didn't dare to rummage through Tendou Kagura's bedroom.

By now, that thousand yen has long been gone.

She had no expenses at school, but that doesn't mean she didn't need any expenses.

For example, Yoko Endo only paid for one month's worth of her student bus pass to activate it, and now the balance is all used up. She had to borrow a few hundred yen from someone at school, and after that, she has to run to school on foot.

In addition, there are various social needs; after all, one cannot always be a recipient of favors.

Suzuka Ise felt increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, but she didn't show it. In her heart, she thought to herself that this bastard had indeed pocketed her share of living expenses.

She even considered selling the dress; she had only worn it for one day and hadn't even removed the tag yet. But she was struggling to find a buyer, afraid of being scammed, and worried about how to explain it later.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could bite this bastard to death.

The angrier she became inside, the more humble she appeared, her watery eyes filled with pity.

"I don't want the money anymore, but brother, could you please keep this a secret and not tell Aunt Yezi about what happened to me?" Putting aside the matter of her health, the main issue is the 1,000 yen. She could decide to turn herself in herself, but that bastard Tendo Kagura could decide to report her.

And I'm afraid that if I add a few more words or exaggerate, all the hard work I've put into my image will be ruined.

Now she has no other desires but to continue borrowing money from her classmates to make ends meet until Yoko Endo returns.

So she meant it sincerely.

After listening, Tendou Kagura fell into a long silence.

Then he looked up at the ceiling, without looking directly at Suzuka Ise.

He then realized that he had never asked about this matter before, and those thoughts were all wishful thinking.

"Brother, is it alright?" Suzuka Ise pleaded, trying to suppress her anger and embarrassment, just like a girl her age.

Kagura Tendou silently stood up and returned to her bedroom.

Actually, the savior just wanted to play single-player mode: Chapter Six: Gods and Beasts

Half a minute later, Kagura Tendou returned with the money and saw Suzuka Ise pounding on the sofa, the very spot where he had just been sitting. Her movements resembled those of a grumpy kitten, scratching and clawing.

"What are you doing?" Tendo Kagura asked.

“No, it’s nothing…” Ise Suzuka’s body stiffened as she turned her back to Tendo Kagura.

She felt hopeless, so she wanted to vent.

I almost forgot, this bastard walks without making a sound.

Kagura Tendo sat back on the sofa and handed 10,000 yen to Suzuka Ise.

Staring at the large sum of money in front of her, Suzuka Ise was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise.

What does that mean? Has this bastard changed his ways?

"Mine?" she asked timidly.

Kagura Tendo nodded silently; he had to admit that he hadn't considered things thoroughly.

But each time he descends upon the apocalyptic world, he gains ten extra days. Although he doesn't descend every day, it has happened about ten times in the past month.

This leads him to not care much about things in the real world, and sometimes he can't even tell which side is the real world.

Ise Suzuka didn't care about anything else. Once she confirmed it, she almost jumped up and pounced on him with ecstatic joy.

"Thank you, brother!"
