Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

To be honest, Shizuka Hiratsuka had even considered resigning directly and giving up the path of being a teacher.

There were two reasons why she gave up this idea.

The first was that Yōko's younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita, chose to leave Chiba and enroll in Sōbu High School.

The second, and most important reason.

The genius who ranked first in the Sakura Province Joint Entrance Examination did not choose the Private Shūchiin Academy, but chose Sōbu High School.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had never mentioned this to anyone, including Yozora.

Looking back, this should be the most sensible decision she has ever made in her life.

Although this kid has an abstract personality and always does some outrageous and excessive behaviors like a problem teenager, Yukino, the younger sister of her good friend Yōko, has joined his club and has now changed.

And Touma Kazusa, who is completely isolated from the outside world, although it is not yet visible, Shizuka Hiratsuka believes that Touma's personality will also slowly change.

And in all of these events, only Shizuka Hiratsuka herself knows.

She was the first person whose life trajectory was changed by Yozora.

"I…"

Shizuka Hiratsuka finally realized that her feelings for Yozora were far more than just a teacher's feelings for a student.

"Have you finally come to your senses?"

Hearing the voice that suddenly sounded in her mind, Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked around, but did not find anyone talking to her.

Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka's appearance, Natsumi Suga didn't care, just took Yozora's arm and waved with a smile.

"Then we'll go first."

Looking at the backs of Yozora and Natsumi Suga leaving into the distance, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her lips, but the determination she had just made with great difficulty collapsed again after thinking about the identity of teacher and student.

The words 'I also like him' remained on her lips, but she didn't have the courage to say it like Natsumi Suga.

"Too bad, just a little bit more."

The voice in Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind sounded again, and then completely fell silent.

…

On the other side, Yozora, who was walking forward with Natsumi Suga, had his phone ring again.

"Hello? What's wrong, Kazusa."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Touma Kazusa's clear voice, with a hint of shyness, came.

"Can you… send a text message to Ogiso-san? Tell her… that I was a little impulsive when school was out today, and I wasn't targeting her."

"I don't have Kazusa Ogiso's contact information."

"Hehe."

The same trick that can fool Yukino Yukinoshita cannot fool Touma Kazusa.

"I still don't know what kind of person you are? You don't have Ogiso-san's contact information? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death."

"As expected of Kazusa, you saw through me at a glance."

Yozora first chuckled, and then said.

"I'll send you the contact information, you tell her yourself."

"Eh? Me? But…"

"No buts."

Yozora interrupted Touma Kazusa's subconscious rejection and slowly said.

"Kazusa, I am the president of the Overload Club, but in the band, I am just a member. Leave this kind of thing to you, as the person in charge of the band. I believe in you."

After hanging up the phone, Touma Kazusa lowered her head, a complex look in her eyes, and muttered to herself.

"Believe…"

This was the first time in Touma Kazusa's life that she had such a feeling.

Only I… can do it?

Since Yozora has said so…

Touma Kazusa looked at the contact information of Kazusa Ogiso that Yozora had sent on the phone screen, took a deep breath, and a rare hint of nervousness appeared on her face.

"In that case… then let's muster up the courage and try it once."

…

On the other side, inside a detached house with elegant and quiet surroundings.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs first."

"Do you want to eat something first?"

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

After saying that, Eriri quickly ran to her room and breathed a sigh of relief.

She first untied her golden pigtails, then took out a pair of heavy black-rimmed glasses from the drawer of her desk and put them on, instantly transforming from a beautiful young lady into a complete otaku.

Then, Eriri took out a paintbrush and a half-finished manuscript, looking at the dashing character wearing a coat and a mask on it, with a complex look in her eyes.

"'Masked'… why didn't you come today…"

That's right.

Eriri, a doujinshi artist with the pen name Eri Kashiwagi who is active on the Internet and has a very high reputation, is a die-hard fan of "Masked".

This is also a very normal thing.

In the entire Sakura Province, the hero "Masked" has thousands of fans, not to mention "Masked"'s base camp, Kyoto City.

As an otaku Eriri with a very high concentration of two-dimensional elements, it is extremely reasonable for her to become a fan of a cool superhero.

Out of love, even if no one commissioned her, she still voluntarily prepared to draw a character design of "Masked", and then donate it to the "Masked" fan club for free to make into posters as gifts when buying figures.

It's just…

Why?

Why didn't the hero she admired and longed for appear when she was in trouble and felt desperate today?

Could it be that… "Masked" thinks that a few high school students are not worth taking action personally?

"No… that's not possible."

Eriri shook her head, unwilling to believe the guess in her heart.

"'Masked'… is a true hero… he must have been delayed by something this time, yes, it must be like this!"

Eriri told herself this, but when she wanted to continue to complete this manuscript, the paintbrush in her hand just trembled slightly, unable to continue drawing.

It's not that her skills have a problem, but she always feels that something is missing.

She lacked the yearning and admiration for "Masked" that she had when drawing the first half.

Moreover, the figure of Yozora has always been floating in Eriri's mind.

"Damn it, damn it…"

Eriri put down the paintbrush in her hand, looking helpless.

She felt like she was sick, and the image of Yozora in her mind always lingered.

If she draws the manuscript in this state, then what she draws is not "Masked" at all, but that handsome boy of the same age who was wearing a "Masked" costume and came to the rescue at a critical moment, saving herself and the other students.

"That uniform… is it a student from Sōbu High School…"

Eriri muttered to herself, recalling that the teacher seemed to have said this afternoon that Sōbu High School was going to have an exchange meeting with her private Toyonosaki Academy.

The outstanding students and teachers of Sōbu High School will go to Private Toyonosaki Academy for a one-day experience. Correspondingly, Private Toyonosaki Academy also wants to send outstanding representatives to Sōbu High School for a one-day experience.

Although Eriri's grades are not particularly good, as a fine arts elite who has won awards at exhibitions and a genius girl with rare painting talents, if she makes a request to the school, she will definitely be able to become the representative student sent by Private Toyonosaki Academy, at least one of the representative students.

Originally, she had no interest in this kind of thing at all.

But now…

"Going to visit and experience it… wouldn't hurt, right?"

…

Later, in the business district, in a familiar Western restaurant.

"I said…"

Yutaka Komadori, wearing a chef's uniform, looked at Yozora sitting there, and a few helplessness couldn't help but appear on her usually expressionless face without emotional fluctuations.

"Once or twice is fine, but you… come too often, right?"

Yozora smiled and replied very seriously.

"Isn't this acknowledging you?"

Yutaka Komadori was even more helpless when she heard this, and looked speechless.

"I am the head chef, only those high-difficulty dishes require me to do it myself. Most of the dishes you eat are not made by me."

Yozora's expression remained unchanged, she just chuckled.

"I didn't say I was acknowledging your craftsmanship."

Yutaka Komadori sighed slightly.

"I think the main reason is that you don't have to pay, right?"

"Yes."

Yozora nodded without concealing it.

"This is also one of the indispensable important factors."

"Okay, I won't chat with you here."

Yutaka Komadori glanced at Natsumi Suga sitting across the table and said lightly.

"In that case, let's skip the ordering process. I'll cook a few dishes for you myself."

"Okay."

Looking at the back of Yutaka Komadori turning and leaving, Natsumi Suga bit her straw lightly, looking at Yozora with a playful look.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you invite this Miss Yutaka Komadori together at the fireworks festival last time?"

Yozora replied casually.

"What you said, the fireworks festival is not just once. There's no need to invite all the women I know. It's not an outdoor silver party. Let's talk about it next time if there's a chance."

"Oh?"

Natsumi Suga lengthened her words, resting her cheek on one hand, staring at Yozora with interest.

"But you invited me, shouldn't it be just to let me take pictures of those beautiful girls around you?"

"I see you were having a good time taking pictures too."

"Of course I'm happy, after all…"

Natsumi Suga stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the back of Yozora's hand.

"It's the fireworks festival I went to with you."

After saying this, without waiting for Yozora to respond, Natsumi Suga spoke to herself.

"By the way, after I took the photos of you and Kitagawa Kaimu cosplaying last time, a comic exhibition organizer contacted me. The venue for the comic exhibition is in Kyoto. Those cosers are all well-known in the industry. Only those who are invited can participate in the cos activities. Of course, the audience only needs to buy tickets."

"According to Kitagawa Kaimu's personality, she will definitely want to participate, right? The time is this Saturday, and the location is here…"

Natsumi Suga took out an invitation and placed it gently in front of Yozora.
