Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“It definitely will.”

Toma Kazusa glanced at Yexing sitting there and lowered her voice.

“If you don’t become a psychic, you’ll encounter terrible dangers. I heard… that Sugawara Natsumi encountered a danger once, and as a result, she couldn’t get out of bed for a whole day afterwards, her back was sore and weak. According to her description, it was as if her body was about to fall apart.”

Ogiso Setsuna's face changed upon hearing this, and her pupils shrank in shock.

“Is Miss Sugawara Natsumi alright? Is she not injured? What exactly happened? Did she say anything?”

“Yes, she only had one thought about it.”

“What thought?”

“I want to do it again next time.”

“Huh?”

Toma Kazusa didn't continue this topic, but suddenly spoke softly.

“Setsuna, what kind of existence are Yexing and I in your heart?”

“This…”

Ogiso Setsuna was stunned by this sudden question and subconsciously replied.

“Kazusa, you are my most important friend, someone I absolutely don’t want to lose, and Yexing is… he is…”

Just as Ogiso Setsuna's eyes flickered as she looked at Yexing, who was looking at her, not knowing how to speak, she felt a hand, although with a hint of coolness, that brought a warmth to her heart, gently placed on the back of her hand.

She turned her head and found Toma Kazusa looking at her, a gentle smile on her lips, nodding slightly, her eyes also filled with a smile. Although she didn't say anything, it still made Ogiso Setsuna's extremely tense mood relax a lot in an instant.

Ogiso Setsuna mustered her courage, took Toma Kazusa's hand, raised her head and looked directly at Yexing sitting there, pursed her lips, and squeezed out a sentence with all her might.

“Yexing, to me… is also… the most important person, who saved… the me who was trapped in loneliness, and also let me join the band, creating memories with you, someone I absolutely don’t want to lose…”

Toma Kazusa smiled and nodded, then softly asked.

“So, you like me and Yexing very much?”

“Like… it’s true that I like you, but…”

Ogiso Setsuna took a deep breath and slowly said.

“My liking for Kazusa is different from my liking for Yexing…”

Toma Kazusa looked interested, tilted her head, and pretended to be puzzled.

“Oh? There are different kinds of liking? What’s the difference? Explain it in detail?”

Ogiso Setsuna's pretty face flushed red, and she muttered in a low voice.

“It’s… it’s too embarrassing for me to say it all alone…”

Without Toma Kazusa saying anything, Yexing once again unleashed his signature move, a no-windup fastball attack starting from 0 frames.

“Ogiso-san… no, Setsuna.”

Yexing stood up, walked to Ogiso Setsuna, squatted down, took the other's other hand, and said with a smile.

“I said that we would form a band for life, but now it seems that this promise, although called heavy in the neighboring set, still seems too understated here, so I want to change it.”

“You, me, and Kazusa… and everyone else, must always be together.”

“It’s not because of anyone’s reason, nor is it because of Kazusa’s idea, it’s purely out of my own will.”

Hearing these words, feeling her two hands being held by Toma Kazusa and Yexing respectively, Ogiso Setsuna finally accepted her true feelings at this moment, nodded, and said softly.

“Yes… the three of us… must always be together.”

“That’s great.”

Seeing Ogiso Setsuna finally agreeing, Toma Kazusa smiled happily and pulled the other party onto the bedding spread on the floor.

“Eh, Kazusa, what are you doing…”

Ogiso Setsuna was already wearing a kimono, and now that she was dragged onto the bedding by Toma Kazusa, her kimono was a little messy, and she was almost exposed.

“Didn’t we agree that the three of us would always be together? Of course, we have to do this kind of thing together too.”

“This… this is too… alright…”

Ogiso Setsuna was completely unable to refuse Toma Kazusa's request.

On this night, the God of Harem experienced the convenience of kimonos and unlocked two kimono CGs.

… …

A week later, at Futaba Rio's house.

“Found it.”

Holding a coffee cup, although she had been taken by Yuigahama Yui to buy many sets of clothes, Futaba Rio, who was still wearing her most familiar white coat, looked at the members present and slowly said.

“According to the news sent back by Ryuzaki, combined with the inquiries from Mr. Oda and Grandma Godfather, it can now be confirmed that Sakurakawa Rikka has arrived at this place.”

Futaba Rio placed the tablet on the table, and everyone turned their attention to it. Sakurajima Mai murmured softly.

“Nitto… Island? I haven’t heard of it.”

“It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it.”

Futaba Rio explained.

“This remote island called Nitto Island has very few permanent residents, only about one or two hundred people. There is not even much information to be found on the internet. However, according to the information from Mr. Oda, this Nitto Island has a tradition of worshiping the so-called Hiruko God.”

“Hiruko God…”

Yotsuya Miko, who is very knowledgeable about various ghost stories in Sakura Province, thought thoughtfully upon hearing this name.

“Is it the folk image derived from the legendary Water Leech God, that is, the god of fortune Ebisu, after it was spread… That’s very reasonable, after all, according to those legendary records, the Water Leech God was the first child of Izanami and Izanagi. Combined with Sakurakawa Rikka’s Soul True Name, perhaps there is some kind of connection in it.”

“That’s right.”

Futaba Rio nodded slightly, her tone calm.

“From any point of view, combined with the clues found by the Metropolitan Police Department, it proves that Sakurakawa Rikka has left Sakura Province and gone to this Nitto Island, most likely planning something.”

“We cannot let the Metropolitan Police Department evacuate the people on the island, after all, we don’t know whether the people living there have been brainwashed and controlled by Sakurakawa Rikka. If we want to prepare for the worst, perhaps everyone there has been transformed into psychics, plus the Hiruko God whose existence cannot be confirmed… The situation is very complicated, but…”

Hearing this, Yexing stood up and said lightly.

“But, since the challenge has already been issued, then the life of the sinner Sakurakawa Rikka will be taken by our Overload Society.”

Chapter 329 The Countermeasures to Time Regression, the Exorcist Who Appears Alone

Seeing that Yexing’s attitude was so firm, the members had no objections. Even Kawasaki Saki, Yukinoshita Yukino, and others, who were not psychics, also had the desire to protect this world.

“Treating humans as dolls to be manipulated…”

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, lightly biting her silver teeth, a rare display of anger, her hands involuntarily clenching.

“Such twisted individuals should be punished.”

“I second Yukinoshita-san's opinion.”

Equally hating evil and harboring a strong animosity towards beings like evil spirits, even more so than Yae Hoshi, Miko Yotsuya immediately stood up. Although her face was expressionless, the killing intent in her eyes was undisguised.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's depart now. Arriving at Hitotsushima even a moment sooner might save another innocent life. We absolutely cannot allow that Rikka Sakurakawa to continue living.”

“I know you're anxious, but hold on a second.”

Seeing the members' indignant expressions, Yae Hoshi waved his hand.

“I haven't even said who's going on this mission yet. What's the rush?”

Yui Yuigahama, hearing this, curiously asked,

“Could it be… not a full team deployment? At the very least, shouldn't all members with spiritual abilities be going?”

“No… definitely not everyone can go.”

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, thoughtfully saying,

“Considering the possibility that Rikka Sakurakawa is intentionally using her whereabouts as bait, secretly plotting something, although the probability isn't high, we still need to be cautious. Plus, we need to maintain the security of Kyoto City. We definitely can't deploy the entire team; we need to leave behind enough power to handle emergencies.”

“Rio is right, so…”

Amidst the members' bated breath, Yae Hoshi smiled and said,

“This mission will be carried out by me alone. That's it.”

“Alone? You…”

“Hold on, everyone, let me explain.”

Seeing the members' strong opposition, Yae Hoshi put away his smile and seriously explained,

“The Hiruko God on that Hitotsushima Island is real, and her ability is very strong. She can reverse time.”

Hearing this, the living room fell silent. After a few seconds, Rio Futaba hesitantly said,

“Re… reverse time… do you mean… what I think you mean?”

“More or less.”

Yae Hoshi nodded and slowly said,

“Although I'm not sure if she can use that power now, and if she can, to what extent, or what the limitations of the reversal are, you should all understand why I can't let you participate in the mission when the enemy possesses this kind of ability that we can't counter.”

Yui Yuigahama, looking bewildered and cute, tugged on Yukino Yukinoshita's sleeve and whispered,

“Yukinon, why?”

Yukino Yukinoshita, although speechless at her friend's cluelessness, patiently explained,

“Didn't Yae Hoshi just say it? We can't counter it, which means the enemy can reverse time, giving them chances for error, but we don't have even one.”

Rio Futaba nodded in agreement with Yukino's opinion, thoughtfully saying,

“In that case… every time we're about to succeed, the enemy will reverse time… our successful timeline will be erased, but even if we fail once in a thousand or a hundred battles, that timeline will be fixed and become an established fact. For us, let alone a total wipeout, even losing just one member is completely unacceptable.”

Speaking of which, Rio Futaba suddenly frowned, looked up at Yae Hoshi, and asked the most crucial question.

“After time reversal… will our memories be retained?”

“I'm not sure.”

Yae Hoshi first replied with this, then changed the subject and said,

“But what I can be sure of is that each time the other party uses time reversal, it will consume their own power.”

“Even if memories aren't retained… no, precisely because memories aren't retained, every time is the first time for me, but that Hiruko God's power is indeed being consumed.”

“In this way, from my perspective, I only need to act once. No matter how many times it takes from the other party's perspective, be it ten thousand, a million, or a billion times, it doesn't matter. Her power will eventually be exhausted.”

“Then, that will become the fixed reality, the only reality.”

Hearing Yae Hoshi's so-called “plan,” the members of the Supernatural Club were all stunned. Before anyone else could speak, Touma Kazusa frowned and coldly said,

“I disagree.”

Yui Yuigahama also reacted, changing her usual gentle and sweet demeanor, always with a smile, and strongly opposed.

“Yeah, what if you die? Wouldn't that become the established reality? Letting us watch you take such a risk alone while we hide in a safe place, how can we willingly accept that!?”

Yae Hoshi smiled, nonchalantly saying,

“But if you want to achieve a perfect clear, this is the only viable path. You don't need to be so nervous. Talking about ten thousand times is just me joking. At most, at the most extreme, I think a few hundred times is about it. Besides, that Hiruko God might not even be able to use the ability to reverse time. It's clearly a huge advantage on my side, why are you all so anxious? It's completely unnecessary.”

Rio Futaba took off her glasses, frowned, and said with a slightly displeased tone.

“Are you saying that even with the ability to reverse time, being able to learn your information and prepare in advance for the next time, the other party can't kill you even with hundreds of chances, and will eventually be killed by you because their power is exhausted? Even for you, that kind of thinking is too arrogant. And it's not just that Hiruko God, there's also Rikka Sakurakawa. What were you thinking to make this decision?”

“Then, besides this, is there any other way?”

Faced with Yae Hoshi's question, Rio Futaba opened her lips, trying to give another answer, but after thinking carefully…

It seemed like there was no other answer.

“That's right, isn't it?”

Yae Hoshi chuckled and said,

“If the enemy has the ability to kill me, then you would be at an even greater risk of death in the dozens or hundreds of time reversals. Considering minimizing the risk, only the strongest, even if it's just one person, is enough to pose a threat to both the Hiruko God and Rikka Sakurakawa, is the most suitable for this mission.”

Rio Futaba was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then nodded.
