Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"But, Jin Souichirou only resigned, he didn't die. Just because he resigned to take responsibility, it would make me feel frustrated, even to the point where I need someone to comfort me, need to talk and communicate with others? To borrow a phrase you said before, if you really think I would be discouraged by this, then you underestimate me too much."

Saying this, Yexing paused slightly, then smiled and said.

"Moreover, Souichirou has already found a new job. Not staying in Kyoto might be a good thing for him."

"New job?"

"Yes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the head of the special investigation team."

"Really? That's wonderful."

Hearing this, Suga Natsumi breathed a sigh of relief.

She also admired that Director Yagami Souichirou, who, although old-fashioned and serious, was wholeheartedly dedicated to his duty, sparing no expense for the safety of Kyoto City, and possessed a strong sense of justice.

After the Aguriya Kiyoharu incident, Yagami Souichirou was actually able to re-enter the police department and take office. This is simply a miracle.

After all, putting aside everything else, it was Yagami Souichirou himself, who possessed the power to appoint personnel, who failed to detect Aguriya Kiyoharu's mental instability in time, which led to the occurrence of that incident, or so it seemed in the eyes of outsiders.

To put it bluntly, this was dereliction of duty, holding a position without doing any work. To put it mildly, it was at least a dereliction of duty for failing to recognize people.

But now it's good.

From the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he also became the head of the special investigation team. Although he didn't have the same power as he did in the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, it was equivalent to a promotion.

"That's great."

Suga Natsumi picked up a can of beer and smiled at Yexing.

"Then, a toast to Mr. Yagami Souichirou for re-entering the police department!"

"Yeah, cheers."

After clinking with Yexing, Suga Natsumi finished the can of ice-cold beer in one gulp, then took another can from the refrigerator, sat cross-legged on the sofa opposite, propped her cheek with one hand, looked at Yexing with interest, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Why me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm saying, why me?"

Suga Natsumi's eyes became a little complicated, with a hint of bitterness in her smile.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, when I was in school, I wasn't considered a particularly outstanding student. Although I successfully went to college, it was just an ordinary university. After graduation, I couldn't find a good job. Even if I chose to become a media writer, to be honest, although I like this industry, I'm not as good at it as I imagined."

"In any case, I... am a failure."

"So, why did you choose me like this?"

Yexing gave the most sincere answer without hesitation.

"Because you are good-looking."

"Huh?"

Hearing this answer, Suga Natsumi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a dumb smile.

"How is that possible... Although I am very confident in my appearance, there are many female reporters with outstanding looks like me in the vast city of Kyoto. To put it bluntly, with the value of the information you provide me, even if you want to sleep with me... there must be many people willing to agree. Besides, you are not short of good-looking girls around you."

"I'm serious. The pleasing appearance is of course an important reason for my consideration. Looking at that square face every day, it is indeed a bit difficult for me to bear."

Yexing said with a smile first, then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, with a serious expression, he looked directly into Suga Natsumi's eyes and said slowly.

"But the most important thing is that I know that things like money and fame are also very tempting to you, but what's more important in your heart is to do the right thing, just like Yagami Souichirou and those people around me, who are trustworthy and reliable."

"So that's how it is..."

Suga Natsumi muttered to herself noncommittally, then said softly.

"Have I told you? My father is a finance official."

"Oh, a second-generation official?"

"What second-generation official..."

Suga Natsumi sighed slightly, looking helpless.

"Compared to those around you, like the daughter of a world-class pianist, the heir of a large construction company, a former national idol actor who debuted as a child star, the daughter of a mere finance official is nothing, right?"

Suga Natsumi gently put the cold beer can with water droplets on her forehead and said softly.

"Actually, I ran away from home. I can't explain why."

"But now I... am doing the right thing, and the income is very generous, far exceeding the initial target set to support myself."

"All of this..."

Suga Natsumi looked up at Yexing, a blush appeared on her cheeks, changing her usual carefree demeanor, and said in a rare soft tone.

"It's all thanks to you."

Yexing waved his hand. Although he was being polite, the expression on his face didn't mean to be polite at all.

"Hey, it's just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

"Then I..."

Suga Natsumi stood up, with a flush on her face that she didn't know was caused by alcohol or something else. Her steps were a little unsteady, and she walked over and sat next to Yexing, leaning on his shoulder, and said with a chuckle.

"How should I repay you?"

Yexing frowned slightly and said righteously.

“Hey, I'm not that kind of person.”

Suga Natsumi's breath lightly brushed against his face, then, as if summoning courage, she gently kissed Yozora's cheek.

“Really not?”

Yozora asked with a straight face.

“I wasn't just now, but I am now.”

“Hmph, what a speechless guy.”

New player Suga Natsumi has launched a challenge against the dungeon boss, Kyoto's number one ero-shooter.

… …

Wednesday, after school, at the Sobu High activity room.

“I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed…”

Watching Yuigahama Yui constantly chanting this phrase, looking like she was about to break down, Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

“Yui, if you put in a little more effort usually, you wouldn't be in this situation.”

Yuigahama Yui was on the verge of tears.

“There's no way, my brain is just like this, you geniuses can't understand my feelings! I'm doomed now, if I fail, I'll have to take supplementary lessons, and if I don't pass the final exams, I'll have to repeat a year next year!”

Hearing this, Touma Kazusa, sitting by the window, smoothed her long black hair, and said carelessly.

“Aren't we special admissions students? The academic requirements can be relaxed.”

“Eh?”

Yuigahama Yui was taken aback, and asked in confusion.

“Touma-san, you're a special admissions student, but I'm not.”

“You are too.”

Touma Kazusa said calmly.

“My specialty is playing the piano, your specialty is soothing Yozora's emotions, preventing him from causing trouble at school, from this perspective, we are both special admissions students.”

Yuigahama Yui pouted and sighed slightly.

“How could the school accept such an outrageous reason…”

“That's not necessarily true.”

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be thinking very seriously, murmuring.

“What Touma-san said might make some sense, although it sounds outrageous, but if Shizuka-sensei conveys this meaning to the school… all the members of our club should be considered special admissions students, and won't be troubled by academic performance.”

Futaba Rio pushed up her glasses upon hearing this, and retorted speechlessly.

“Wouldn't that make that guy seem like a crown prince, and we're like his study companions?”

“There's no way around it.”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the cute face that had now become like a bitter gourd, her cheeks puffed out, like a punching bag, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

“Who told our lovely club's image ambassador, Yui, to possibly end up failing?”

“Wuu wuu wuu, I'm so useless, I'm really embarrassing everyone.”

“It is a bit embarrassing.”

The members of the Supernatural Club can be roughly divided into these levels in terms of academic performance.

The first level is definitely Yozora, without a doubt.

The second level, Yukinoshita Yukino, Futaba Rio, Kawasaki Saki, Yurigahama Hana, are all top students in the entire grade.

The third level, Yotsuya Miko, Ogiso Setsuna, Amano Hina, Kitagawa Marin, although they can't achieve too high rankings, at least they don't have to worry about passing or failing.

The fourth level, occupied solely by Yuigahama Yui, repeatedly teetering on the edge of the passing mark, constantly in fear and anxiety.

As for Touma Kazusa?

Her position as the last in the grade is unshakable.

It's not that Touma Kazusa doesn't study, under the persuasion of Ogiso Setsuna and Yukinoshita Yukino, she has been attending supplementary lessons recently.

However, every time during exams, she still chooses to just sleep, not even writing her name, handing in a blank paper directly, anyway, she won't repeat a year no matter what, as long as she learns the knowledge, the exam results don't matter.

Loyal dog Touma Kazusa thought, since she can't approach Yozora's ranking, then she might as well firmly occupy the throne of the last in the grade, which can also be considered another kind of approach, after all, the Earth is round.

It's hard to understand her way of thinking.

After bantering for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yozora sitting there, and slowly opened her mouth.

“By the way, Shizuka-sensei told me this afternoon that there's a new request.”

“One is from Private Toyonosaki Academy, anonymous, the client said they want their light novel to become a bestseller, and they hope we can give them advice.”

“Oh, that.”

Yozora responded noncommittally, and said carelessly.

“I don't understand writing novels, don't you usually read them often? This…”

Saying this, Yozora took out a light novel that hadn't been unwrapped from his bag, and casually threw it on the table.

“Give the client advice after you finish reading it.”

“This is…”

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the title of the light novel, and frowned slightly.

“'Love Rhythm'? It sounds boring just from the name.”

“The novels you usually read are even more boring, change your mood, little sister-in-law.”

“I told you, don't call me that.”

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed slightly, put the light novel into her arms, and said lightly.

“Since you already have the book, why are you still asking me to read it, you're really bringing trouble to people, Student Hoshino.”

Yozora smiled and retorted.

“It's also time for you to play a role, otherwise people will think that you got into our club through nepotism.”

“Heh heh.”

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't continue to dwell on this topic, after all, she couldn't argue with Yozora, and just continued to speak on her own.
