Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Actually…" Kawasaki Saki said in a low voice, trying her best to suppress her nervousness.

"Yozora… is ‘Masked.’"

After saying this, Kawasaki Saki saw that Kitagawa Marin didn't show the slightest surprise, but just nodded with a smile.

"I know."

"Eh?"

This time, Kawasaki Saki was completely dumbfounded.

"You… know?"

"Yes."

Kitagawa Marin's reaction was unusually calm, and she just said with a smile.

"Some time ago, Hinata and Wakana suddenly came to ask me about cosplay costumes. I'm very interested in costume design, so I gave them some suggestions according to their requirements."

"Then, a few days later, when ‘Masked’ issued a notice to that Sakura Rokka, I saw that the two assistants in the big screen at that time were dressed exactly like the suggestions I gave them, like some black stage costumes, and one person's coat had cloud and lightning patterns."

"I had almost guessed it, so… now I can be sure."

Kawasaki Saki was stunned for a moment.

"You… guessed it all along?"

Kitagawa Marin looked speechless.

"Of course, I'm not stupid. I've been in the club for so long, and I've felt that something was wrong more or less, but what really convinced me was Saki."

"Me?"

"Yes."

Kitagawa Marin smiled and held Kawasaki Saki's hand.

"You can't lie at all. I can see what you're thinking at a glance. If I can't even tell that you're hiding something, how can you say I'm your best friend?"

Kawasaki Saki asked cautiously.

"Then… I've been hiding it from you for so long… aren't you angry?"

"Hmph, of course I'm angry."

Kitagawa Marin deliberately put on an angry look, but when she saw Kawasaki Saki's guilty expression, she couldn't help but laugh.

"So, to compensate me, you have to promise that when you become an assistant, the costume for the operation will be designed by me. Seeing my best friend wearing the costume I designed to save the innocent will almost make me feel better."

"Marin…"

Hearing these words, Kawasaki Saki couldn't help but show a look of emotion. She held Kitagawa Marin's hand and tightened it again, as if she had made some kind of determination.

"There's one more thing, about Yozora…"

When she heard this topic, Kitagawa Marin's smile obviously froze, but she still pretended to be indifferent and replied casually.

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if I lose, it won't affect our friendship."

"That's what I want to say, there's no such thing as winning or losing."

"Eh?"

Kawasaki Saki's expression was particularly serious, and she looked directly into Kitagawa Marin's eyes and slowly opened her mouth.

"Marin… I can't hold on anymore. I need your help."

"My help…?"

Kawasaki Saki's words were half true and half false.

She really couldn't hold on anymore.

However, even if she really couldn't hold on, there was a shift change. Wasn't Suga Natsumi still there?

It's just that, compared to Suga Natsumi, Kawasaki Saki certainly hoped that her good friend Kitagawa Marin would help her share the burden.

Or rather, even she, as a psychic, whose physical fitness had been improved after receiving the infusion, couldn't hold on, so how much could Suga Natsumi, who was just an ordinary person, share?

However, if Kawasaki Saki gritted her teeth, she could still persevere, mainly because she wanted to take this opportunity to get her good friend Kitagawa Marin on board as well.

"This…"

Kitagawa Marin blushed, recalling the experience of Yozora drawing the tally marks on her leg. She thought that if her good friend Kawasaki Saki saw her like that, wouldn't she be embarrassed to death?

Just facing Kawasaki Saki's sincere eyes, and the throbbing in her heart, Kitagawa Marin hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind.

"Since you've said so… then… okay… but if three people sleep… won't the bed be a little crowded…?"

"Huh?"

Kawasaki Saki was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile.

"What are you thinking? When I said I wanted you to help, I meant you to help me deal with that guy, it's a gauntlet… not a team up…"

When Kitagawa Marin heard this, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She originally thought that Kawasaki Saki meant that they would fight the enemy together, and she was wondering why Saki had suddenly become so bold. Could it be that she had been developed to this extent after spending a night on Nittu Island?

She didn't expect that she had misunderstood the other party's meaning.

"Then… what should I do specifically?"

Hearing Kitagawa Marin's question, Kawasaki Saki frowned slightly, like her younger sister Kawasaki Kyoka, looking at her disappointing sister, looking at the disappointing Kitagawa Marin, with a look of disappointment.

"No, you usually play so many games and watch so much anime. As a senior second-dimensional person, do I still need to teach you this kind of thing?"

Kitagawa Marin seemed to understand, thoughtfully said.

"You mean… put on a very seductive outfit, and then sneak into Yozora's room at night and make him unable to hold back?"

Kawasaki Saki looked speechless.

"No… do you usually play serious games? I asked you to join to be a girlfriend together, not to let you be, be that something for Yozora… what's that word called?"

"RBQ?"

"Yes, that's the word."

Kawasaki Saki rolled her eyes and said earnestly.

“Didn't you see? That Wu Jialuo girl is practically begging Ye Xing to have her baby. She's so beautiful, but Ye Xing still turned her down. Don't think of him as some animal driven by his lower half. Express your feelings first, and then things will naturally fall into place. Got it?”

“Oh… I see…”

Seeing Kitagawa Haimeng's flushed face and sparkling eyes, Kawasaki Saki couldn't help but sigh helplessly and complain.

“You dress like a sexy gal, but you're actually so innocent… I don't know what to do with you.”

…

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Xing was lecturing Yurigawa Hana, Makinohara Shoko, and Anjo Naruko. As a spirit, Menma needed to stay further away from Yurigawa Hana, so she hid behind him, looking gleeful.

“I'm talking to you three.”

Ye Xing looked at Makinohara Shoko, Anjo Naruko, and Yurigawa Hana, who had a blank look on her face and didn't know what was going on, and tried to shift his gaze away from their exaggerated assets.

It wasn't that he didn't have enough self-control.

It's just that they were too big.

When Nanfang Rizuru was wearing clothes, she seemed to be able to compete with Yurigawa Hana.

But after changing into a swimsuit, Yurigawa Hana was invincible.

“Anjo, you need to awaken your spiritual power as soon as possible. Otherwise, when something happens in Kyoto next time, we won't have enough people to protect you.”

Seeing Ye Xing become serious, Anjo Naruko knew the situation was serious and nodded obediently, but still couldn't help but mutter softly.

“But… it's not like I can just awaken it whenever I want.”

“I know.”

Ye Xing nodded noncommittally and looked at Yurigawa Hana standing aside.

“Yurigawa, it's the same for you. There are more and more spirit members in the club now. If you can't control the life energy in your body, you might end up hurting those members one day, or even…”

Ye Xing slowly spoke, saying something that shocked Yurigawa Hana.

“Unintentionally causing Menma to dissipate.”

Chapter 351: Speak Your Mind; Swallowing It Will Only Make You Stronger

Yurigawa Hana's expression suddenly changed, and she said in disbelief.

“R-Really? Will that really happen?”

Although Yurigawa Hana couldn't "observe" the existence of spirits, she knew through Anjo Naruko's relay that Menma, although not truly resurrected, was not far from it.

Would the life energy in her body really harm her friend Menma unintentionally… or even cause her to dissipate?

“Yes, there is a possibility.”

Ye Xing gave Anjo Naruko and Makinohara Shoko a look, signaling the two who were about to speak to remain silent.

The two girls immediately understood.

So… he was just scaring her?

The life aura on Yurigawa Hana would indeed harm evil spirits that got too close, that's right.

But those who could be directly roasted to the point of dissipating by her life aura were very, very weak, even the bottom-level weak ghosts that couldn't even be called evil spirits.

Slightly stronger evil spirits would also be harmed, but the problem is…

Menma wasn't a brainless evil spirit; she was an existence with independent thinking ability like Tamamo-no-Mae and Hachishaku-sama.

Even if she was burned by Yurigawa Hana's life aura, wouldn't she know to stay away? Would she just stand there until she was burned to ashes?

This was simply impossible; it was only theoretically possible, but it would never happen in reality.

Clearly, Ye Xing was deliberately stimulating Yurigawa Hana to see if he could get her to awaken her spiritual power.

Unfortunately, Yurigawa Hana just looked blank and unwilling to believe that this would happen, and there were no signs of her awakening the ability to materialize her soul.

After a few seconds, she came back to her senses, and that energetic smile reappeared on her face, but this time, her eyes became unusually firm.

“I… I will definitely not let this happen. Please rest assured, everyone. I will do my best to awaken my spiritual power as soon as possible!”

Although Yurigawa Hana looked innocent, she wasn't weak, but the kind of optimistic person who became more and more courageous in the face of setbacks and never gave up easily, no matter what difficulties she encountered.

Although he failed to get her to awaken her ability to materialize her soul, Ye Xing wasn't disappointed. After all, spiritual power couldn't be awakened so easily. He had expected this.

However… he had also prepared a backup plan.

There was no other way. Yurigawa Hana and Anjo Naruko were both in danger.

They both had special constitutions that would attract evil spirits. Although Yurigawa Hana couldn't see spirits, if a large number of evil spirits gathered, causing her life energy to be consumed too much, her body would feel uncomfortable, or even die.

If they didn't live in Kyoto, which had many spiritual power users and where evil spirits had been wiped out after a great battle, they would have probably died long ago.

He could only wait until night… to use his last resort.

“Alright, you three can leave first.”

“Oh, okay.”

After Anjo Naruko, Yurigawa Hana, and Menma left, Ye Xing looked at Makinohara Shoko standing there.

The three who left were actually okay, because he had already found solutions.

But Makinohara Shoko…

To be honest, Ye Xing didn't understand. Makinohara Shoko had enough belief and had completed the prerequisite conditions, so why hadn't she awakened her ability to materialize her soul yet?

Could it be that she still had some inner conflict?

At this moment, Ye Xing made an amazing choice that most Yassashi male protagonists in school romance anime would never make.

He chose to ask directly.

Guess? Guess what? Am I a child? Am I going to play guessing games with you here?

If there's something to say, just ask, right?
