Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Hide behind me."

Rio Futaba stared directly at the tall, humanoid evil spirit, and behind it, the various twisted shapes and terrifying faces of ordinary evil spirits, her eyes beneath the pale mask showing not the slightest hint of tension.

"Come on."

"Tear you apart!"

The tall evil spirit roared and howled, its pupils revealing undisguised killing intent as it charged towards Rio Futaba.

"Hmph, noisy fellow."

Rio Futaba narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hands, and said softly.

"Bone Hell."

The moment her voice fell, dozens of sharp, pointed bone spurs suddenly grew from the ground, simultaneously piercing towards the tall evil spirit.

"Hmph, boring."

Compared to the Woman of the Witching Hour, this tall evil spirit's temperament was clearly more violent, emitting bursts of black smoke. Before the bone spurs could pierce its body, it had already arrived near Rio Futaba at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"I'm going to tear you to pieces, little by little!"

"Such a noisy fellow."

Watching the tall evil spirit's hands reaching towards her, and the chilling, terrifying words, Rio Futaba only felt annoyed.

"Too noisy."

Rio Futaba's voice was very cold, filled with an impatient, irritable tone.

She slightly bent her petite body, dodging the tall evil spirit's attack, and then from the palm of her right hand, a pale white, almost translucent bone spur extended, directly piercing the tall evil spirit from its chin, penetrating its entire head in a rising dragon punch-like posture.

"Be quiet now."

After piercing the tall evil spirit's head with one strike, Rio Futaba did not stop there, but grabbed the other's neck with her other hand and slammed it directly onto the ground.

This extremely violent action, in stark contrast to her petite figure, stunned the Yukinoshita sisters in the distance.

Was this Rio Futaba?

Was this the Rio Futaba who usually made coffee for everyone in the activity room, with her long, gray, curly hair, who liked to push up her glasses, and who occasionally made some hilarious, deadpan remarks?

Was there a mistake?

"I don't like noisy people, and I especially dislike noisy evil spirits."

A cold light flashed in Rio Futaba's eyes, and dozens of finer bone spurs instantly extended from the surface of the bone spur within her right palm.

Don't forget, this bone spur was inside the tall evil spirit's head.

The result of this wanton growth…

"No… No!"

"Bang."

Amidst the tall evil spirit's sorrowful cries, a muffled sound like a watermelon being smashed open rang out. Yono and Yukino watched as the tall evil spirit's head was directly burst open by the bone spurs extending from within.

The next second, it was its body.

Amidst the dissipating bursts of black smoke, Rio Futaba raised her head, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only coldly scanning the dozens of evil spirits in the distance.

"Next, who's coming?"

Faced with Rio Futaba's gaze, and seeing the tall evil spirit, which hadn't even lasted through the first round, instantly annihilated, the dozens of ordinary evil spirits froze in place, and then simultaneously fled in panic into the distance.

At this moment, their fear of this human girl outweighed their instinctive desire to kill humans.

"Hmph, that's all there is to it."

Rio Futaba turned around, the bone spurs on her white coat disappeared, and in their place, the Bone Woman reappeared behind her.

"Kill them all."

"Okay."

Although Rio Futaba seemed very indifferent, in reality, the killing intent in her heart was about to explode.

That tall evil spirit…

Actually tore innocent humans in half, and even dragged the innocent victim's severed torso around like a toy.

This kind of behavior made Rio Futaba feel genuinely angry and disgusted.

Tonight…

She would drive all the evil spirits out of Kyoto City, leaving not a single one behind!

Watching the Bone Woman disappear into the darkness, accompanied by the faint, intermittent howls of the evil spirits, floating uncertainly as she pursued and killed them, and Rio Futaba standing there, completely without emotional fluctuations, the Yukinoshita sisters were both dumbfounded.

Even Yono, who had witnessed Yozora's exorcisms…

"Wait a moment."

After escaping danger, Yono and Yukino suddenly realized something. The Yukinoshita sisters couldn't help but ask the most pressing question at the same time.

"Where's Yozora?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yukino exchanged a glance with Yono beside her, and seeing the other's interested, playful gaze, she realized her own slip-up in her panic.

It's not…

Her sister and Yozora-kun are in a relationship. It's normal to be concerned about her boyfriend's whereabouts at a time like this.

But what is my position in asking such a question?

"That… I…"

Yukino always plays with her hair when she feels nervous. Rio Futaba knows this, and Yono also knows this.

Of course, this action is not the main point.

The main point is that, based on Yono's understanding of her younger sister, she shouldn't feel nervous about such a question.

She couldn't even remember the last time she had seen Yukino so flustered and at a loss.

"I'm just asking as a Quantam club member, that's all. No other meaning."

Rio Futaba and Yono exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads helplessly.

The involved are confused, while the onlookers are clear.

Yukinoshita Yukino is indeed not good at lying.

"So, where did Yozora go? Could it be… that he went to save someone more important?"

Hearing Yukinoshita Yono's loaded question, tinged with jealousy but also smiling, Rio Futaba's expression became somewhat complicated.

"It's difficult to explain now. Let's go to a safe place first, and I'll tell you in detail."

"Okay."

…

Half an hour later, at Touma Kazusa's house.

"A long-awaited gathering of everyone."

Miko Yotsuya, Rio Futaba, Yui Yuigahama, Mai Sakurajima, Kazusa Touma, Saki Kawasaki, Hina Amano, Yukino Yukinoshita, and even Kitagawa Marin, who didn't know the inside story, was bewildered, not knowing why she had been called here late at night to gather, all sat down.

Hachishaku-sama, Menma, and Shoko Makinohara were also present in the living room.

There was even one person, Yukinoshita Yono, who was meeting Touma Kazusa, Kitagawa Marin, Kawasaki Saki, Amano Hina, and the others for the first time.

Fortunately, Touma Kazusa lived in a luxurious, large-floor apartment, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

"Um…"

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, Kitagawa Marin cautiously probed.

"Is there… something important happening today?"

For some reason, Kitagawa Marin suddenly felt very nervous.

Could it be…

That Yozora's thing of drawing a tally mark on her had been exposed?

Could it be… that this was a criticism session aimed at her for sneaking around under the guise of participating in cosplay activities?

Kitagawa Marin was sweating profusely.

Mai Sakurajima noticed her abnormality and couldn't help but frown, thinking that no matter which of the people present felt nervous, Kitagawa Marin was the one who shouldn't feel nervous the most.

You don't even know that evil spirits exist in this world, what's there to be nervous about?

Afraid of earthquakes?

Didn't the earthquake end a long time ago? And it wasn't that big, and the power has been restored.

Normally, Mai Sakurajima wouldn't deliberately probe into other people's hearts.

But now it was a special situation.

Kitagawa Marin, as an ordinary person who didn't know the inside story, having such nervous emotions now, could it be that she and the others, as insiders, had overlooked some details?

If the panicked emotions in Kyoto City hadn't dissipated, then it meant that Yozora, trapped in the Reverse Side, might still be facing danger.

Thinking of this, Mai Sakurajima sat next to Kitagawa Marin, smiled, and gently asked.

"Marin, what's wrong? You seem very nervous?"

Hearing Mai Sakurajima's words, Kitagawa Marin's heart trembled, and she didn't even dare to look up.

She had only one thought in her mind.

This is bad.

Mai Sakurajima's smiling tone, to Kitagawa Marin at this time, sounded like the main wife had caught her husband's mistress outside.

This was giving her a chance to see if she was willing to tell the truth!

Especially when Kitagawa Marin noticed that the club members, who usually did their own thing even when they were gathered together, were all silent at this time, their eyes all focused on her, further deepening her illusion.

"I'm… I'm sorry! I…"

Just as Kitagawa Marin bit her silver teeth, intending to tell the truth, Saki Kawasaki finally noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stopped her.

"Eh, eh, eh, it's not what you think, don't say it yet."

Saki Kawasaki was also sweating profusely.

No, girl.

What were you just about to say?

You wouldn't be planning to give another one of those, 'I like Yozora-kun' declaration speeches, just like last time with all the Quantam club members present, would you?

Oh my god.

Marin, you're so brave?

This is one against…

Counting Menma and Hachishaku-sama, you want to go one against thirteen?

Good lord, Saki Kawasaki exclaimed, 'Good lord'.

With that kind of courage, I, Saki Kawasaki, am willing to call you the strongest.

"Let's get down to business."

With Yozora not present, Miko Yotsuya became the temporary president of the Quantam club.

"On the way to find members, I killed a high-level evil spirit. What about you, Futaba?"

"Yes, I killed one too."

"Then, counting the Woman of the Witching Hour, that's three in total."

Rio Futaba nodded slightly, and then analyzed thoughtfully.
