Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

So, does this mean… I’ve been dragging Onee-sama down?

Thinking this, Yukinoshita Yukino bit her lip, her body trembling, but she still forced herself to say,

“Onee… Onee-sama, hide in the room… Don’t come out until dawn.”

“What do you want to do?”

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart, and said softly.

“That guy outside… is coming for me. There’s no need for both of us to be in danger. Besides, if it’s just me, the other party should want to use me as a bargaining chip to threaten Futaba and Miko. I should be okay…”

“Still acting tough?”

Yukinoshita Haruno stood up and patted Yukino’s head, the gesture like coaxing a child.

“Haven’t I told you many times? You’re just too stubborn. Even at times like this, you’re still acting tough. You don’t want to open the door and offer yourself to that evil spirit, do you? That’s an evil spirit. Can you guarantee it won’t kill me in passing?”

“I…”

Yukinoshita Yukino’s lips trembled. She took a deep breath to sort out her thoughts and slowly opened her mouth.

“Then let’s delay a little longer… I believe Futaba, Miko, Yui, Mai-senpai, and… and Yozora… will definitely come.”

“Oh?”

Haruno looked at Yukino with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, her words meaningful.

“With your personality, you would never have said such a thing before. You never thought of relying on others, even me, your sister, was treated as an outsider by you, but now… Hmm?”

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn’t refute.

Just as Haruno said, she had never thought of relying on other people’s help like she did now. In the final analysis, it was because she didn’t trust others, not even Haruno, who was her own sister.

Such a Yukinoshita Yukino…

Yet, in such a life-and-death matter, she placed her hopes on people other than herself.

This was completely impossible in the past.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

The evil spirit outside the door didn’t stop banging on the door. Instead, its strength became greater and greater, even causing the sturdy anti-theft door to have deformed dents.

“So noisy.”

Haruno frowned slightly, her face showing displeasure. The next second, she suddenly held her forehead, shook her head, and muttered to herself.

“Tch… that voice is ringing again…”

Seeing Haruno’s appearance and hearing what she was saying to herself, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to realize something and said in disbelief.

“You… you heard the voice in your head? That’s…”

“I know.”

Before Yukino could finish speaking, Haruno interrupted softly.

“Yozora mentioned it to me. This is the so-called… soul materialization awakening, right?”

Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes trembled.

“You… don’t tell me… this isn’t the first time you’ve heard this voice?”

“That’s right.”

Haruno replied with an indifferent look, smiling.

“Let me think… it seems to have been from the day you joined the Transcendental Club, when Shizuka-sensei told me the news, that I could occasionally hear such a voice ringing in my head. Really, talking to yourself is annoying.”

“But… why…”

Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t expect such a large amount of information to suddenly explode, and she was a little dazed for a while.

“You… why didn’t you choose to awaken?”

“What kind of question is that?”

Haruno shook her head with a dumbfounded smile.

“Yukino-chan, why did you become so stupid after joining the Transcendental Club? Of course, I wouldn’t choose to become a psychic. What’s the benefit of that?”

“Have the ability to ‘observe’ evil spirits? That’s not a good thing at all, is it? If I suddenly see an evil spirit breaking in when I’m in class or at a company meeting, should I take action or not?”

“Besides, I’m usually very busy and don’t have time for exorcism activities or anything like that, and I’m not in Kyoto.”

“Considering the above points, why would I actively choose something that has no benefit to me and only brings me trouble?”

“That should be a normal person’s thinking, right?”

Hearing Haruno’s words, Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to refute, but found that she couldn’t refute at all.

Thinking about it carefully…

Becoming a psychic doesn’t seem to be a good thing at all.

Of course, the reward for exorcism requests is very generous.

But the Yukinoshita family isn’t short of money.

Yukinoshita Haruno was already perfect enough.

She really had no reason to choose to become a psychic.

“It seems this time…”

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was feeling complicated and didn’t know what to say, she heard Haruno change the subject, saying with a smile.

“I still have to become a psychic.”

“But you just said…”

Before Yukino could finish speaking, Haruno shook her head and interrupted, her expression complicated.

“What you want to do doesn’t mean it’s something you have to do.”

Looking at the anti-theft door that was being dented in and was about to give way, with cracks appearing around the walls, Haruno turned to look at Yukino, the smile on her face gradually disappearing, her eyes showing an undisguised look of loneliness, and slowly opened her mouth.

“Yukino-chan, I’m actually very jealous of you.”

“Eh? Jealous of me…”

Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t understand what she meant.

Clearly, from childhood to adulthood, her sister Haruno was the more outstanding one.

Now she was saying that she had always been jealous of herself?

“Yes, jealous.”

Yukinoshita Haruno said something she had never said before.

“I’m jealous that you can do things as you please, without being restricted by your family, and I’m also jealous that you still believe in the so-called ‘genuine article’ to this day.”

“But…”

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and said softly.

“Perhaps now, I’m starting to believe a little that the so-called ‘genuine article’ may really exist in this world.”

“So…”

Haruno looked at her sister, her eyes showing a hint of doting, and said playfully with a smile.

“As a sister, I have to do things I don’t want to do so that you can do what you want to do and become who you want to be. This is the responsibility of being a sister.”

“Have you finally made up your mind?”

Hearing the voice in her head and looking at the anti-theft door that had been dented by the impacts and had cracks appearing around the surrounding walls, Yukinoshita Haruno didn’t reply, but slowly nodded.

“Very good.”

“Then, here, I summon forth my true name.”

Haruno took a deep breath, and a rare look of solemnity appeared on her usually frivolous and lazy beautiful face, and she opened her mouth word by word.

“Here, I summon forth your true name.”

“Listen to your heart, Hienma!”

After Haruno summoned her soul's true name and liberation incantation, a woman wearing a short kimono, with an incomparably beautiful and charming face, but exuding a faint black aura around her, with a strong hatred and resentment on her face, appeared behind her.

“Go.”

Hearing Haruno’s order, just as the anti-theft door was kicked open and the tall evil spirit dragging half a corpse finally revealed its true form, Hienma had already crashed into the other party with an indomitable momentum.

Yukinoshita Yukino wasn’t a psychic, but she could guess that Haruno’s soul's true form had begun to fight the other party through the action of that evil spirit, which had merged with a human, taking several steps back and crashing into the hard wall.

Without the slightest hesitation, she directly grabbed Haruno’s hand and ran towards the corridor outside.

“Take advantage of this time, hurry up and leave.”

Haruno was slightly stunned, looking at the hand that Yukino was holding, a smile rising on the corner of her lips.

How long had it been since she and her sister had been so close?

Sure enough…

Yukino-chan still liked her sister very much.

If Yozora were here, what would he say?

Haruno didn’t need to think much to guess.

“You’re a hopeless sister-con.”

Haruno shook her head, looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was pulling her and running forward quickly, and muttered to herself.

“I’m really a hopeless sister-con.”

…

Because of the need to control the use of electricity, the elevators in the building had not resumed operation. At this time, the Yukinoshita sisters could only escape from the stairwell.

Yukinoshita Yukino ran breathlessly, feeling that her body had begun to ache.

If she had known that there would be times like this when she needed to escape in a hurry, she should have gone to the gym with Futaba and Miko to improve her physical fitness.

However, it was too late to regret it now.

As an internal member of the Transcendental Club, Yukino knew more professional information about exorcism than Haruno.

One of which included a rule.

When first awakening soul materialization, although one could immediately begin to fight, the speed of power consumption was very fast due to one's own unsuitability and unfamiliarity.

Even Yotsuya Miko, who was naturally gifted and automatically awakened her yin-yang eyes, failed to defeat Hachishaku-sama when she first put her soul's true form into battle, and had to rely on Yozora to save the day in the end.

And that evil spirit that had occupied a human body…

Couldn’t be weaker than Hachishaku-sama back then.

How could Haruno, who had just awakened her psychic abilities, be a match for that guy?

The soul's true form could only buy the two of them some time to escape.

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was leading Haruno down to the fourth floor, she felt the latter's body suddenly become heavier.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and supported Haruno's body, preventing her from falling down the stairs.

“Yu… Yukino-chan…”

Haruno looked exhausted, sat down against the wall at the corner of the stairwell, and forced a smile.

“My Hienma… has been destroyed… I am now… a psychic, and my attraction to that guy is stronger than yours. Go find those people in your club, go.”

Hearing Haruno’s words, Yukino’s expression changed.

“Could it be… you’ve already thought that as long as you become a psychic…”

“Of course.”

Haruno smiled, reaching out and pinching Yukino’s cheek.

“If you want to catch up with me, your sister, you still have a long way to go.”

From the beginning, Haruno hadn’t thought that she would be able to eliminate this high-level evil spirit, which was fused with a human body, in the situation where she was first awakening soul materialization.
