Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Public opinion, achievements, reputation, and support within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kyoto's number one square face has finally been promoted.

Upon receiving this good news, Soichiro Yagami immediately called his wife and daughter, who were far away in Tokyo.

"Congratulations, Dad!"

Sayu Yagami's voice sounded very lively.

Soichiro Yagami replied with a smile.

"By the way, where's Light?"

"You mean brother? He went to the library."

"Well, that's good, you should learn more from your brother."

"Tch."

Sayu Yagami stuck out her tongue on the other end of the phone, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile.

"By the way, Dad, I've been feeling like brother has been different lately, like he's become happier."

"Oh?"

Soichiro Yagami asked curiously.

"Could it be that he's in love?"

"How is that possible, but it's true that he's made a friend, although not from the same school, and not from Tokyo."

"Not a friend from Tokyo?"

"Yeah, it's someone we met during our last spring break, when we went to Kyoto to see you, a boy about the same age as my brother."

Listening to his daughter's tone, Soichiro Yagami couldn't help but tease.

"Listening to you, it seems like you have a good impression of him?"

"Dad, don't talk nonsense."

Just as Soichiro Yagami was about to say something more, he heard an unexpected name from Sayu Yagami's mouth.

"That Yagami-nii has a girlfriend, how could I poach him? Besides, I couldn't poach him even if I tried."

Chapter 237: Methods of Manipulating People's Hearts, The Disappearing Sunny Girl

Soichiro Yagami clenched his fist slightly, his face stiff as he said.

"You just said… what's your brother's friend's name?"

"Yagami-nii, he's even more handsome than my brother, it's just that their personalities are completely different, I don't know how these two became friends…"

"From Soubu High?"

"Eh? Dad, you know him? He's a first-year student at Soubu High, and he's the number one in Sakura Prefecture's joint entrance exam."

Soichiro Yagami had no time to answer his daughter's question, at this moment he felt his whole world spinning and his brain starting to go dizzy.

His son's new friend is actually that Yagami?

Now, even if Soichiro Yagami couldn't say he was 100% sure, he was 90% sure that Yagami was the "Mask" who always appeared at the scene of incidents.

His own son…

Is friends with "Mask"?

This is too outrageous, right?

If Yagami really is "Mask", what does he want to do?

Is he trying to use his son to threaten him not to betray him?

Soichiro Yagami frowned and pondered, feeling uneasy, but finally shook his head, denying the idea.

That's impossible.

From Soichiro Yagami's point of view, whether it was Yagami or "Mask", or if they were the same person, the other party would not do such a despicable act of threatening him with his family's lives.

Moreover, there's no need for that at all, hasn't he gained the other party's trust yet?

Soichiro Yagami tried to think as he hesitated to ask the person on the other end of the phone.

"Sayu, do you think… that Yagami is friends with your brother for some purpose?"

"Purpose?"

Sayu Yagami on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Please, Dad, Yagami-nii is the number one in Sakura Prefecture's joint entrance exam, and his girlfriend is that former national idol actress Mai Sakurajima, why would he have any designs on my brother?"

"Then why… Light, who has never been very close to others, would suddenly…"

"Isn't that simple?"

Sayu Yagami gave an answer that was unexpected by Soichiro Yagami, but also completely reasonable.

"People as outstanding as them can understand each other and become true friends, isn't that a very normal thing?"

Soichiro Yagami was stunned when he heard this.

That's right.

As the saying goes, a father knows his son best.

Although there wasn't much communication between Soichiro Yagami and Light Yagami, he also knew that his son seemed refined and gentle, and was so kind to everyone, but in reality, he was a highly self-regarded, even arrogant person.

From childhood to adulthood, Light Yagami had very good relationships with his classmates and teachers.

But that was all.

He got along with everyone, but he couldn't be considered friends with anyone.

Soichiro Yagami was well aware of this, but couldn't interfere.

Because he really didn't know anyone as outstanding as his son, and couldn't even find peers in the same league.

Now that he thought about it carefully, putting aside the suspected "Mask" identity…

Soichiro Yagami casually said a few words to Sayu Yagami and hung up the phone, then put his hand on the mouse next to the computer screen and dragged the webpage.

The special report on it was also written by Sumeragi Natsumi, but it wasn't about him.

《The Genius Who Chose to Enter Soubu High Despite Being Number One in the Joint Entrance Exam! The Person Who Truly Understands 'Mask'?》

This report written by Sumeragi Natsumi was about the exclusive interview with Yagami.

The number one in Sakura Prefecture's joint entrance exam, giving up the future of Shuchiin Academy, unwilling to be bound, entering the unremarkable Soubu High, defeating all the first-year students of Shuchiin Academy, including Kaguya Shinomiya, the daughter of the Shinomiya Group, in the joint exam.

Such a long title was only about academic achievements.

It was far more than that.

A person with a sense of justice who has openly criticized the Sunny Doll Killer, proposing a brand new perspective on the behavior and motives of "Mask", not a hero, nor a criminal, acting entirely according to his own will…

Just looking at these labels, even Soichiro Yagami had to admit.

Yagami is very outstanding.

It could even be said that he is the leading figure among his peers in the entire Sakura Prefecture.

And his son, Light Yagami, although slightly inferior, was also outstanding.

Same age, same outstanding talent, although their personalities were completely different, one acting like a model student, and the other being an abstract guy partying with a few girls and older sisters in a cold storage…

But for these two people to have a common language and further become good friends, isn't that a very normal thing?

Sayu Yagami thought very simply, but it was also very reasonable.

Was he overthinking it…

In Soichiro Yagami's heart, there was a faint guess, after all, as the Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department and the head of the Special Operations Unit, he knew all the intelligence of the incidents since "Mask" appeared.

It's just…

He was completely unwilling to think in that direction, and didn't dare to consider such a possibility.

His son, who aspired to join the Metropolitan Police Department like him…

How could he be "Kira"?

…

At the same time, within the campus of Soubu High.

"Yui, Mai, and also Yukinoshita-san."

Watching Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka leave, Yagami stood up, stretched, and smiled.

"I'll leave the issue of puberty syndrome to you guys to solve, come find me if you encounter any difficulties."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, puzzled.

"What about you?"

"Me?"

Yagami waved his hand dismissively.

"I have more important things to deal with."

"I guess…"

Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Yagami with a smile, and said softly.

"Among the important things you mentioned, doesn't that include helping me improve my powers?"

"Um… that… in a couple of days?"

Haruno Yukinoshita nodded with a smile.

"That's fine, but when the time comes, you have to make up for the missing time."

"Eh, eh, eh."

Mai Sakurajima couldn't listen anymore, reached out and knocked on the table, with a displeased look on her face.

"Why should all the time be left for you?"

Haruno Yukinoshita asked back with a teasing smile.

"Then why don't we all do it together? I'm fine with that."

Mai Sakurajima's pretty face flushed red, and she instantly lost the battle.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked blank.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, a hint of helplessness appearing in her eyes, and sighed.

"The matter of saving the world, you don't need to… at least for now, you don't need to know."

…

Later in the afternoon of the same day, inside Sumeragi's editor studio.

Sumeragi Natsumi sat at her computer desk, watching the heated discussions caused by the two reports she wrote on the webpage, and her heart was filled with joy.

Awesome, this is so awesome!

Since becoming a media person, Sumeragi Natsumi had never felt this good as she had recently.

As a proper college graduate, although finding a job in Sakura Prefecture was a bit difficult, if Sumeragi Natsumi wanted to find a job, after a period of setbacks, she would most likely be able to find a company with salary conditions that met her requirements.

She became a freelance writer more out of interest.

However…

This road was not easy to walk.

Before meeting Yagami, Sumeragi Natsumi had even considered whether to completely change careers, because her recent income was not even enough to survive.

But now, there was no such problem.
