Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Right now."

"Tear off the disguise, Bone Woman."

As Futaba Rio spoke the true name of her soul, Bone Woman instantly appeared behind her.

A cage, as if made of white bones, rose from the spot where the Painted Buddha stood.

"Hmm?"

The Painted Buddha, originally slow-moving like a decrepit old man, reacted with extreme speed, crouching down slightly. Its withered and thin legs instantly swelled into a terrifying mass of muscle, ready to dodge and escape.

"Break free from the restraints, Suzuhiko-hime!"

The battle had begun, and Sakurajima Mai no longer needed to hide. Almost at the same time as Futaba Rio, she spoke the true name of her soul.

Suzuhiko-hime, wearing a light pink gauze dress, appeared, holding a light pink paper umbrella in her hand. With a gentle shake, cherry blossom petals formed from spiritual power surrounded the Painted Buddha's body.

Under Suzuhiko-hime's charm ability, the Painted Buddha was briefly stunned for a moment, but in less than a breath, it regained consciousness.

But that was enough.

The bone cage created by Bone Woman had already trapped the Painted Buddha within it. Sharp bone spurs instantly extended from each pale white bone, like the famous Western torture device, the Iron Maiden, piercing towards the evil spirit's body.

"Miko!"

"Yeah, I know."

Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes, and several strange colors flashed in her golden eyes. Patterns of eyes appeared on her fair wrist.

She leaped down directly from the five-meter-high floor, landing gently on the ground. Without the slightest hesitation, she directly drew out the Mikazuki Munechika from her waist.

The light gold blade reflected a brilliant light in the rain.

"Slash."

Yotsuya Miko flashed forward, appearing before the bone cage. There was no emotion in her golden eyes, only her hands gripping the hilt of the Mikazuki Munechika, slashing it towards the Painted Buddha's body.

At that moment, the rain seemed to be split apart by this one slash.

The muffled sound of bone spurs piercing flesh echoed the dazzling light gold of the blade.

The Painted Buddha stood in place, its face becoming hideous and distorted.

Just as it wanted to release the other "door" within its body and reclaim the "door" on the street, returning to its full strength, the scenery before its eyes slowly split in two.

The next second, this powerful evil spirit, fused with two "doors", understood.

What was split in two was not the scenery.

But its own body.

The sound of the blade tip piercing its head rang in its ears, along with Yotsuya Miko's soft words.

"A professional exorcist will never forget to finish the job."

Chapter 189: Tokyo's Nemesis of Evil Spirits, L's Keen Intuition

Watching Yotsuya Miko wield the Mikazuki Munechika, slicing the Painted Buddha in half with one strike, and then piercing the opponent's head with another, her extremely calm and professional demeanor impressed Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio.

"So cool."

As expected of Yotsuya Miko, whose mental fortitude was so strong that even when she had no power, she could face terrifying evil spirits without changing her expression.

Her level of professionalism in exorcism was already somewhat like that of Yozora.

Just as Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio were thinking this, they saw Yotsuya Miko, who had been striking a pose, suddenly looking flustered, waving urgently to the two of them.

"Hurry, hurry."

Seeing Yotsuya Miko, who hadn't changed her expression even when facing the Painted Buddha and was able to complete precise strikes, actually showing such a flustered expression at this time, Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio felt a sense of urgency in their hearts. Without thinking much, they quickly jumped down from the top of the building.

"What, are there other enemies?"

"That's not it."

Yotsuya Miko looked very anxious, as if she was about to cry, pointing to the Painted Buddha, which was turning into black gas and dissipating in the bone cage, she said in a fluster.

"Quick, quick, let Suzuhiko-hime and Bone Woman come out and eat together, or it will be too late."

Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio: "…"

Watching Yotsuya Miko pull Suzuhiko-hime and Bone Woman closer, having these two, along with her own Hundred Eyes, devour the Painted Buddha, Sakurajima Mai sighed softly and smiled wryly.

"Miko, with your thrifty personality of not wasting anything, you will definitely become a good wife in the future."

Hearing Sakurajima Mai say that she would become a good wife in the future, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but blush slightly, replying shyly.

"Not at all, Mai-senpai makes such good food and is so beautiful, you will definitely become a good wife in the future."

Futaba Rio held an umbrella in her right hand, took out her glasses from her pocket with her left hand, put them back on, and sighed slightly, complaining.

"Is there a possibility that the two of you will become the wives of the same person in the future? At that time, there will be plenty of time to praise each other, there's no need to start now, right?"

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai and Yotsuya Miko both blushed.

Immediately afterwards, Yotsuya Miko retorted unhappily.

"You're talking about us two, aren't you the same?"

Futaba Rio, who had just been launching attacks, now showed an unusually weak defense. Her fair cheeks instantly flushed red, and she stammered.

"I… I… I haven't thought about getting married or anything… Don't, don't drag me in…"

Just then.

Yozora's smiling voice came from behind the three girls.

"What, thinking about me?"

Sakurajima Mai turned around and saw that the casual clothes Yozora was wearing had tears and cuts all over them because they had been torn by that group of evil spirits earlier. She subconsciously stepped forward, patted the dust off his body, her voice filled with both reproach and undisguised concern.

"Why are you in such a sorry state? Honestly, couldn't you be a little more careful?" Nightstar waved his hand and laughed.

"It's nothing serious, anyway, I had a good time eating."

"Sigh... I really don't know what to say about you..."

Rio Futaba watched from the side, speaking with a hint of jealousy.

"Hey, hey, hey, there are still two living people here."

Mai Sakurajima looked a little embarrassed, raised her head to look at the sky, partly to change the subject, and partly because she was genuinely surprised.

"The rain... has stopped..."

Nightstar nodded noncommittally.

"I called Hina Amano, it can't keep raining, what if Tokyo gets another Sunny Doll Killer, that wouldn't be good."

Then, he looked at the remaining black energy in the bone cage.

"Looks like you've already dealt with the Nuribotoke."

"Yeah."

Rio Futaba nodded slightly, dispelled her soul's materialization, and said faintly.

"But, it was just luck, just like we thought, this guy is a being fused with two 'doors'. If we hadn't caught it off guard before it retracted that door, with us being prepared and it being caught unaware, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with."

"Hey, that's not right, Futaba."

Nightstar patted Rio Futaba on the shoulder and laughed.

"As exorcists, we can't have any bottom line when dealing with evil spirits. The more despicable, the better. We need to do some limitless operations."

Rio Futaba curled her lips.

"In that regard, you're more skilled."

Then, Rio Futaba turned her face away, preventing Nightstar from directly seeing her eyes, raised her hand to push up her glasses, a hint of relieved joy appearing in her eyes, and asked as if nothing had happened.

"Now that you're okay, tell us what happened at the hotel."

Miko Yotsuya, noticing Rio Futaba's expression, couldn't help but show a hint of an auntie smile on her usually impassive face.

Rio is really a tsundere.

"Whoa, let me tell you, it's a pity you didn't see it, a battle of the ages happened in the hotel!"

"A battle of the ages?"

Hearing Nightstar actually use such words to describe what happened inside the hotel, Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, and Miko Yotsuya all felt a strong sense of curiosity.

"Of course."

Nightstar nodded, and slowly opened his mouth with a serious face.

"At that time, one of the Five Swords Under Heaven of Sakura Province, the legendary sword Onimaru Kunitsuna, encountered the strongest enemy in its life!"

"Not a moment was spent mourning the passing of the Onmoraki!"

"Next to appear is, from the most prosperous business district of Shibuya, Tokyo, born in a luxurious hotel bathroom, retractable, the crystallization of human technology, representing the dignity of modern products, the famous shower head!"

"It is said that at that time, Onimaru Kunitsuna and the shower head met their enemy, they were extremely jealous, neither side would give in, their momentum had never lost half a point, a great battle was about to begin..."

Hearing this, Rio Futaba quickly interrupted.

"Wait a minute, don't start yet."

Mai Sakurajima also complained with a speechless expression.

"What are you talking about... Onimaru Kunitsuna versus the shower head? You perverted junior, are you telling some meaningful H jokes again?"

Miko Yotsuya just looked at Nightstar deeply, without replying.

She vaguely understood why the other party didn't directly answer Rio Futaba's question, but used this kind of answer, whether it was the real thing that happened, or an abstract story that was made up.

As expected...

With such a large-scale bizarre event, it's impossible for no one to die.

Nightstar didn't say it clearly, probably because he was worried that we would feel guilt and heaviness after hearing the truth.

"Anyway, let's go back first."

Just as Rio Futaba's voice fell, she suddenly heard a panting roar from not far away.

"That... that exorcist... stop!"

The three girls raised their heads in confusion, seeing a tall figure running from the distance of the street, with a dilapidated gray-white skin, looking like an evil spirit, with only one eyeball left.

Seeing the other party's empty eye socket, Miko Yotsuya suddenly seemed to realize something, looked at Nightstar beside her, and said with a complicated expression.

"That eyeball you gave me, couldn't it be..."

"That's right."

Nightstar showed a smile, walked to the Carnage Oni who had already run in front of everyone, and patted the other party on the shoulder affectionately.

"Let me introduce, this is Carnage Oni, Mr. Carnage, he is an anonymous sponsor of our Overload Club."

"Even giving away eyeballs, but not asking for anything in return, what a noble character?"

"Come on, please give Mr. Carnage Oni a round of applause."

Miko Yotsuya raised her hand and clapped a few times cautiously.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

After clapping, she saw that Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba were both looking at her with complicated expressions.

Mai Sakurajima patted Miko Yotsuya on the shoulder, sighed heavily, and said meaningfully.

"Miko, you can learn Nightstar's exorcism skills, but don't be assimilated in other aspects."

Miko Yotsuya tilted her head, her golden eyes showing confusion.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba looked at each other, and a very terrible scene appeared in both of their minds.

After a while...
