Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

On the way from leaving Soubu High School, Utaha Kasumigaoka maintained a calm and indifferent expression on the surface, but in reality, she was secretly glancing at Yae's profile, wanting to ask what exactly was the relationship between him and that cute girl just now, but after thinking about it carefully…

Why should she ask?

What qualifications did she, Utaha Kasumigaoka, have to ask?

Not to mention lovers, her relationship with Yae wasn't even that of close friends. They weren't in the same school, nor were they in the same grade. They could only be considered acquaintances who had met by chance.

With this kind of relationship, wouldn't asking about the other person's romantic situation make her seem very concerned… as if she had some unrealistic and presumptuous thoughts?

With Utaha Kasumigaoka's pride, she naturally couldn't do such a thing, so she casually found a topic to talk about.

"Um… I didn't notice it when you came to visit our school last time, but that Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka… is quite unique…"

Yae heard this and replied nonchalantly.

"Shizuka-kawaii? She's pretty good, she's the most suitable for me, and also the most outstanding and perfect ideal teacher in my mind."

"I see…"

Utaha Kasumigaoka maintained a calm expression, but she always had a strange feeling in her heart.

How did this sound like a student evaluating their teacher, but more like… a love confession?

Maybe she was overthinking it. Although that Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka looked good, and their relationship looked very good when she came to Toyonosaki Private High School last time, they were, after all, a student and a teacher. How could a student and a teacher develop romantic feelings?

"Then, did you choose to enroll in Soubu High School in the first place because you wanted Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka to be your homeroom teacher?"

"How could that be?"

Yae waved his hand and replied with a chuckle.

"The main reason I chose to enroll in Soubu High School is, first, I don't like Shuchiin Academy, there are too many rules, and it's impossible for them to give me any special privileges. Second, there is indeed a certain person's reason. You just saw that person, the girl with golden eyes and long black-blue hair, Miko Yotsuya. If I really had to say it was for someone… I only enrolled in Soubu High School to meet her in the first place."

Hearing the words "in the first place," Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What about now?"

"Now, well…"

Yae said meaningfully.

"The people I've met… are much more than I expected."

Utaha Kasumigaoka put on an indifferent look, covering her chest with both hands, and finally couldn't help but whisper.

"If… you had chosen Toyonosaki Private High School back then…"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Yae waved his hand with a serious face, looking at Utaha Kasumigaoka with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. From beginning to end, my range of consideration only included Soubu High School, Shuchiin Academy, and Advanced Nurturing High School. Don't blame me for being blunt, but with the level of your Toyonosaki Private High School… I'm afraid it's not qualified to enter my eyes."

Hearing Yae evaluate her school like this, Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but frown slightly, but after a long silence, she could only sigh helplessly.

"You really aren't humble at all… you're the most sharp-tongued person I've ever met."

"I don't call this being sharp-tongued, I call it telling the truth."

"Precisely because it's the truth, it's all the more hurtful."

And in the distance, behind the bus stop, a petite figure wearing a hat and sunglasses was staring at Utaha Kasumigaoka and Yae walking side by side, gnashing her teeth and muttering in a low voice.

"That perverted sow with the sexy body… I knew it! How could she, an honor student, suddenly take leave this afternoon… she even changed into such a shameless dress and stockings… she must be plotting something against Yae!!!"

Eri was quite angry at this time.

Good for you, Kasumigaoka! You're actually doing such a despicable thing!

Don't you know that major incidents have been occurring frequently in Sakura Province recently? In these turbulent times, Yae, as the hero "Kamen," must be very busy…

Wait a minute.

Eri suddenly reacted.

It seems like she really doesn't know?

Unlike herself, Utaha Kasumigaoka doesn't seem to know Yae's true identity.

Eri originally thought that this was her overwhelming advantage. Even during this time, every time Utaha Kasumigaoka was sharp-tongued with her, she had already been calm and unhurried, and was too lazy to even talk back.

So what if you're eloquent and have such a sexy body that looks like it came out of a hentai? You still don't know Yae's true identity, do you?

You don't even know that he's "Kamen," so what makes you think you can surpass the supreme me, Eri?

As a result, Eri didn't expect that what she originally thought was her greatest advantage would actually become a disadvantage at this time.

It was precisely because she thought that Yae and the Hyperdimension Society members were so busy recently, with the premonition letters, the direct confrontation with Izanami, and the so-called spiritual awakening, that she had never gone to find him.

Utaha Kasumigaoka, on the other hand, obviously didn't have such concerns.

"Kamen" has been making a lot of noise recently, what does that have to do with me coming to find Yae?

Could it be that a handsome, popular high school student with heaven-defying grades that I know is the "Kamen" who has been playing the role of a savior?

How could that be?

"That sow…"

Eri gritted her teeth, staring at Utaha Kasumigaoka's back, and followed her almost without hesitation.

She actually didn't understand why she had to follow, the reason she told herself on the surface was that she was worried that the innocent and pure Yae would be tempted by the cunning Kasumigaoka and lose his innocent body.

In reality…

Even if Utaha Kasumigaoka is a little sharp-tongued and a little arrogant, she is still within the scope of a normal high school girl after all.

Not to mention Kyoto, even if you pick through the entire Sakura Province, or even include Kyushu, there isn't a single high school girl who can be considered cunning in front of Yae.

Even the Hokkaido War God wouldn't work.

…

While Yae was accompanying Utaha Kasumigaoka to the autograph session, and Eri was secretly following, inside the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

"Director Yagami."

The moment Yagami Souichirou stepped into the Metropolitan Police Department building, he saw hundreds of police officers standing in the hall, even making the originally spacious first floor hall seem a bit crowded.

"Chief Yagami."

"Commander Yagami."

"Mr. Yagami…"

"Team Leader Yagami…"

Although the titles varied, Soichiro Yagami could clearly sense from the faces and eyes of these officers that everyone had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

Even though he had resigned to take responsibility, all the officers of the Kyoto Prefectural Police had been waiting for his return.

"Everyone…"

Looking at the officers who had come to welcome his return, even Soichiro Yagami, with his serious and taciturn personality, couldn't help but feel a stinging sensation in his eyes facing this scene.

"Thank you all for the welcome, but please return to your respective posts first, and don't delay your work."

"Yes, Commander Yagami!"

After arriving on the third floor of the police headquarters, Soichiro Yagami found that the layout here had completely changed.

Obviously, in order to welcome the return of him, the person in charge of the Special Operations Unit, this entire floor had been renovated and redecorated. Moreover, various heavy firearms that did not conform to the regulations of the police headquarters were hung in bulletproof glass cabinets on the walls, which could be accessed at any time with a swipe card.

At the entrance of this floor, a heavy metal door was also installed, along with 24-hour surveillance cameras and a pupil iris recognition security authentication system. It no longer resembled the office floor of the police headquarters. Apart from the lack of security personnel, even the security measures of the National Diet Building were nothing more than this.

"This is too exaggerated…"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Soichiro Yagami shook his head helplessly at first, but he also understood in his heart that these were necessary security measures. After all, considering the possibility of espers launching a sudden attack, even the most stringent security measures might not be able to stop them.

At the very least, it certainly wouldn't be able to stop someone like "Mask."

In addition to the basic security facilities, the Kyoto Prefectural Police, after discussing with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, made an unprecedented and astonishing decision.

A special department was established, and Soichiro Yagami was solely responsible for everything from personnel appointments to action arrangements to investigating cases, big and small, without having to report to anyone.

In the history of the police headquarters, no one had ever possessed such autocratic power.

However, special cases were treated specially.

There was no "Mask" before, no espers, and more importantly… no police officer had ever possessed the level of prestige that Soichiro Yagami had today.

Miracle Criminal Division Chief, the commander-in-chief who saved the disaster, the guardian of Kyoto, the bottom line of justice…

Although Soichiro Yagami's personality was relatively taciturn and serious, he had made too many contributions. Coupled with Natsumi Suga's exclusive interview and the subsequent resignation incident that caused a stir in Sakura Province, his personal popularity was directly pushed to its peak.

Nowadays, in the eyes of the outside world, Kyoto City is the base camp of "Mask" and its assistants, and the most well-known and capable member of the police headquarters, Soichiro Yagami.

Kyoto City's guardian on the surface and the mysterious hero in the dark, besides having much better public security and fewer mental patients, it is already considered an enhanced version of Gotham City.

"First of all, the first one…"

Soichiro Yagami walked into his office, looked at the empty hall outside, and then looked at the list of recommended personnel sent by L, turning his attention to the first name, muttering to himself.

"Then let's call this person first…"

After the call was connected, what came from the other side was a woman's indifferent tone without any emotional fluctuations.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Natsuru Minamikata?"

"I'm not buying insurance."

Soichiro Yagami: "… I'm not selling insurance… I'm Soichiro Yagami, the current head of the Special Operations Unit of the Kyoto Prefectural Police, and I would like to hire you as an investigator for the Special Operations Unit."

Before Natsuru Minamikata could speak, he continued.

"Of course, it's different from ordinary police officers. You only need to come to Kyoto City, and you don't even need to come to work every day. Our investigator information will not be entered into the police headquarters' archives, and no one will know."

"This…"

Hearing such outrageous conditions, where she didn't even need to go to work, Natsuru Minamikata began to doubt the identity of the person on the other end of the phone, her voice carrying obvious suspicion.

"Then, why do you want to hire me as an investigator?"

"This…"

Soichiro Yagami lowered his voice and slowly said.

"It was recommended by a mutual friend of ours."

Natsuru Minamikata's voice remained unchanged, and she simply said.

"A mutual friend? Forgive me for speaking frankly, but I don't remember having any friends in common with someone like you."

"It's that… handsome one? Does that ring a bell?"

"I don't know who you're talking about."

"That that… the one with good grades?"

"Do you have anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Soichiro Yagami racked his brains, and suddenly realized.

"It's that one, the one who speaks abstractly, likes to drink Coca-Cola, and says Pepsi is toilet cleaner, does that ring a bell now? You can't expect me to say it directly, right?"

"Oh, I see."

Hearing Soichiro Yagami's description, Natsuru Minamikata finally confirmed that the other party was not testing her, but indeed knew Yagami's true identity, and said in a calm tone.

"Then I'll consider it, ask for his opinion, and then give you a reply."

After saying that, without waiting for Soichiro Yagami to speak again, Natsuru Minamikata simply hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Soichiro Yagami shook his head helplessly, put down the phone, leaned back in his chair, sighed helplessly, and muttered to himself.

"That kid… how come he has another new woman… Can his body really handle it? It's good to be young…"

… …

Later that day, in a bookstore on the street.

"Teacher Kasumi Utako, please sign my name!"

"Alright."
