Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

How strange…

Watering?

Could it be that this isn't literally watering, but a metaphor for some kind of action?

“Speaking of which…”

Kawasaki Saki finally couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, asking curiously.

“Squad… what are you going to do? And what are combat… support, all about? Are you going to fight something?”

“Eh?”

Yuigahama Yui was taken aback, and asked back.

“You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

“Yozora didn’t tell you?”

“Told me what?”

Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, Yuigahama Yui, Sakurajima Mai, Amano Hina, these insiders exchanged glances.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's gaze was cast on Yozora who was sitting there.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Yozora replied with a calm and confident look.

“I've been very busy this past week.”

“Busy doing what?”

Just a simple sentence caused the members present to start looking at each other.

In everyone's eyes, there was only one meaning.

“Did you sneak off?”

“I didn’t, did you sneak off?”

“I didn’t either.”

After the girls looked at each other, they all turned their attention to Touma Kazusa, who had a calm expression and unwavering eyes.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Touma Kazusa shook her head and said lightly.

“I’ve been playing the piano at home during this time.”

“Then…”

Sakurajima Mai stared at Yozora, slowly opening her mouth.

“Who did you go to see again?”

“Hey, listen to what you’re saying.”

Yozora waved his hand seriously.

“I went to take care of important business.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Yozora restrained his smile and slowly said.

“This past week, I checked all the families in Kyoto City with the surname Honma, and paid them a visit.”

“This surname isn’t uncommon, but it’s not that common either, there are seventeen households in Kyoto City.”

“Two of them have already moved away, and the remaining ones don’t have any daughters who died young, so they aren’t Menma’s family from before she died.”

Upon hearing this, the girls couldn't help but be taken aback.

The expressions on their faces were very obvious.

So you really went to take care of important business.

“That…”

Hearing Yozora's words, Menma, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened her mouth cautiously.

“Brother is looking for my family… is it to let me resolve my obsession… and pass on?”

Yozora nodded without hesitation.

“Yes.”

Menma's cute little face was filled with a look of loneliness, and she muttered to herself.

“But… Menma doesn't want to disappear, and still wants to be with everyone, with Shouko, and continue to be together.”

Hearing these words, the gazes of Yotsuya Miko and the others couldn't help but become a little sentimental.

Just as they were organizing their words, thinking about how to tell the young Menma that the dead cannot be resurrected, and cannot continue to wander in this world, they heard Yozora say something shocking in an extremely flat tone.

“Oh, is that so.”

Yozora nodded and smiled.

“You should have said so earlier, since you don't want to pass on, then from now on, change the mission objective of our Overload Club.”

“The goal is to find a way to let Honma Meiko continue to stay in this world, and not turn into an evil spirit because of obsession.”

“Of course, being able to resurrect is the best.”

Yotsuya Miko and the others looked blank when they heard this.

In the end, Sakurajima Mai was the first to react, frowning slightly, and dissuaded with a worried look.

“Letting Menma continue to stay in this world? But according to reason…”

“No buts.”

Yozora waved his hand, suddenly restrained his smile, and said in a rare serious tone.

“Those principles that people cannot be resurrected after death, and must be reincarnated, are all statements left by predecessors.”

“Then here comes the question.”

Yozora looked at the members in front of him and slowly said.

“Are those legendary great exorcists in historical records really stronger than us?”

Hearing this question, Futaba Rio pushed her glasses and said thoughtfully.

“Perhaps… there are those who are stronger than us, but to say that there is someone stronger than you… I’m afraid there isn’t.”

“That’s the point.”

Yozora smiled with satisfaction, and then spoke again.

“It’s not that I’m bragging, the spiritual power users present here, converted into scores, are all in the eighty or ninety range, as for myself, I’m an even more perfect candidate.”

“This thing is like an exam.”

“Would you doubt that you are wrong because you see an answer sheet from a failing student that is different from your own?”

“No, you would only think that the other party is the one who is wrong.”

“Since we are stronger than those yin-yang masters and exorcists in the history of the Cherry Blossom Country, then of course, their deeds and the rules they have summarized are of no reference value to us.”

The members all looked thoughtful when they heard these words.

Don't say it, but you really have a point.

Whether it is the ability to visualize souls, or the existence of the Reverse World and the Gate, no relevant information can be found in the records of the Cherry Blossom Country.

Just as Yozora said a long time ago.

What the members of the Overload Club are facing now are strange phenomena that have never happened before.

Moreover, the strongest exorcist in human history is sitting here.

The so-called rules that people cannot be resurrected after death, and the souls of the dead cannot linger in the world, are, to put it bluntly, all rules summarized by predecessors.

“Just like science…”

Futaba Rio was the first to express her attitude.

“Science progresses with time, and perhaps exorcism is the same.”

“Blindly trusting the experience of predecessors, and observing from a limited perspective, the conclusions drawn will ultimately only be like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.”

Yotsuya Miko, as a veteran member, also nodded in agreement.

“From the beginning, the precautions, abilities, and rules related to exorcism were all summarized by ourselves.”

“We can just make our own decisions on this matter.”

Seeing that everyone, especially the person involved… the spirit Menma, was looking at him with pitiful eyes, Sakurajima Mai shook her head helplessly.

“Why does this make me seem like a villain? I just mentioned it casually, it's not like I have to make Menma pass on, to be honest, I don't want to watch Menma disappear like this, that kind of thing shouldn't happen.”

Yozora nodded and smiled.

“Since that’s the case, then it’s decided.”

“There’s one more thing.”

“Since it’s a rare summer vacation, there should always be some free time.”

“I went to the Reverse World and reached a new agreement with Tamamo-no-Mae.”

“If our Overload Club has something to do and needs to leave Kyoto, she will lead that group of ghosts and monsters through the ‘Gate’ to eliminate the evil spirits existing in Kyoto City during our absence.”

Hearing this news, even Futaba Rio, who had the most calm personality, couldn't help but show a look of joy.

Although they all wanted to protect Kyoto, even superheroes need some rest time.

The first summer vacation in high school, if spending more than two months on eliminating evil spirits and dealing with strange events, is indeed a bit too wasteful.

“In that case, why don’t we all go on a trip together?”

Yuigahama Yui was the most excited one.

The everyone she was referring to was not just the internal members present, but also Kitagawa Kaimu and Yukinoshita Yukino, that is, all the members of the Overload Club.

“Traveling…”

Futaba Rio is actually very resistant to this kind of outdoor activity, especially in this hot summer.

Just…

She glanced at Yozora sitting there, and coughed twice, pretending to be calm.

“Um… going to other places besides Kyoto to take a stroll can also observe the evil spirits of other cities and collect more useful information, it’s a good proposal.”

Touma Kazusa also said lightly.

“If Yozora goes too, I’ll go.”

Seeing that the girls were all eager to try, and their eyes were cast on him, Yozora nodded.

“Well, going on a trip is fine too, I guess.”

“That’s great!”

Yuigahama Yui showed a happy expression and immediately started discussing the specific location of the trip with the others.

“Where should we go? In the summer, isn’t it better to go to Okinawa? There are beaches.”

“Beaches… will we run into perverts?”

“Considering Mai-senpai’s popularity, it’s best to go to a place with fewer people, even if you want to go to the beach, you should go to a private one, right?”

“Private beaches… are probably hard to find.”

“Then how about going to some places with a more ancient atmosphere and a long history?”

“Forget it, isn’t Kyoto historical enough, with an ancient atmosphere?”
