Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Yaeko Nishimiya never expected that the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family would come to her, actually inviting her to work at Yukinoshita Construction Company?

Before she could even open her mouth, Haruno Yukinoshita activated her ability.

Of course, not summoning the true form of her soul, the Flying Head, but what Haruno was very proficient in, and practically born with…

… Money.

"Please take a look at the conditions offered by our company first."

Haruno took out a brochure from her bag and handed it to Yaeko Nishimiya, then smiled and said softly.

"Presumably, you won't refuse."

Chapter 378: New Member of the Super-Quantity Club, The Fallen Time Machine

Yaeko Nishimiya lowered her head and took a careful look. At first, she was stunned, but then her face didn't show any surprise. Instead, she looked at Haruno Yukinoshita, who was sitting opposite her, with a wary expression, and asked softly.

"Miss Yukinoshita, let me be blunt. Such generous compensation, a manageable workload, flexible working hours adjusted according to personal circumstances, and indoor office work, such favorable conditions, why would you come to me? It's not that I'm being self-deprecating, but although I think my work ability is very strong, it's obviously not good enough to be worthy of this position."

"You are too modest."

Haruno Yukinoshita picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and replied with a smile.

"You have been a department head in a large company for so many years, which has proven that you have sufficient management skills. Of course, based on this alone, I can definitely find many other candidates, but when it comes to having two daughters, one of whom has congenital hearing impairment and needs to be taken care of frequently, and also having elderly people at home who need to be supported, while still being able to complete such excellent work, I can only think of you. So, this is an important bonus that makes you stand out."

Hearing this reason, Yaeko Nishimiya frowned even more. Before she could open her mouth, Haruno Yukinoshita continued.

"Of course, don't misunderstand. This is not charity. It's just that to meet my conditions, to be trustworthy, and to have sufficient ability, there is indeed only you as a candidate."

"Trustworthy?"

"Of course."

Haruno Yukinoshita explained with a smile.

"My sister, Yukino, is a good friend of your daughter, Shoko Nishimiya, and is in the same grade. Through the words and deeds of the next generation, we can also judge the character of the parents. In addition, my sister stayed at your house last night, so it's no exaggeration to say that we know each other well. You will be exposed to confidential information, so I need someone I can completely trust. Isn't that just you?"

"Rather than saying that I am providing you with a job, it's more like I need you to help me with a favor."

"Don't rush to reply. You can consider it first before making a decision."

What Haruno Yukinoshita said was not entirely false.

She did value Yaeko Nishimiya's management experience and ability. At the same time, she also valued the other party's character. Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered such an important position.

Yaeko Nishimiya, who has been living in Kyoto, has management experience, and whose character is trustworthy and whose willpower is strong enough, is indeed very suitable as the head of Yukinoshita Construction Company in the Kyoto area.

"This…"

Yaeko Nishimiya looked hesitant, and after a while, she looked at Haruno Yukinoshita and said hesitantly.

"This job, will it have any requirements for my daughter?"

"What are you saying?"

Haruno Yukinoshita waved her hand with a dumbfounded smile.

"Adults are adults, and high school students are high school students. Although I learned about your situation through my sister, this position has nothing to do with my sister or your daughter, Shoko Nishimiya. It's just a normal job without any additional requirements."

Seeing that Yaeko Nishimiya was a little tempted, Haruno Yukinoshita smiled again and added.

"Of course, the matter of you working at the Yukinoshita Group can be kept secret if you want. Even my sister doesn't know about this, so you don't have to worry about it having any negative impact on the friendship between Yukino and Shoko."

Haruno Yukinoshita is gifted at understanding people's hearts.

Besides, Yaeko Nishimiya is still hesitating in the face of such a generous, easy, and time-flexible job. It's not hard to guess what she's worried about.

It's nothing more than the fact that Yukino Yukinoshita and her daughter Shoko Nishimiya are friends. Shoko Nishimiya, who has a hearing impairment, finally made friends at school, but if she goes to work for the other party's family business, it will complicate the relationship between the two girls…

Most people might not care about this at all, after all, financial conditions are the most important thing.

But Yaeko Nishimiya always puts Shoko Nishimiya first, just like Mrs. Yukinoshita, who also has two daughters, her attitude is too strict and her control is too tight.

"Since Miss Yukinoshita, you have said so…"

Yaeko Nishimiya's expression was still so calm. Perhaps because she was usually under too much pressure, she had forgotten how to smile. She just said softly.

"Then I will accept this job."

"That's great. Then let's go take a look at the workplace first, and I'll introduce you to the specific content of the work. You can start working tomorrow."

"Okay."

While leaving with Yaeko Nishimiya, Haruno Yukinoshita secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought silently in her heart.

"My mission is complete… The rest is Yukino's job."

Economic pressure may be one of the inducements for Yaeko Nishimiya to create the "Palace", but it is definitely not the main reason.

The main reason is probably the… perhaps unpleasant experiences that Shoko Nishimiya, who has congenital hearing impairment, has suffered in the process of growing up.

As for what kind of experiences specifically led to the mother, Yaeko Nishimiya, having such a strong, even extreme, desire to protect her daughter, to the point of creating a "Palace", that can only be asked of Shoko Nishimiya herself.

…

During lunch break that day, inside the Super-Quantity Club activity room.

"Everyone, lunch is ready!"

Sakurajima Mai took out more than a dozen bento boxes from a large bag. Each bento box had a name tag carefully attached, and each bento was made differently to perfectly suit the tastes of each member.

“Mai-senpai, you’re really working too hard.”

Yui Yuigahama took a bento box and eagerly said.

“Maybe I’ll make it tomorrow…”

“Great Sage of the club, please stop your divine powers.”

Even Yotsuya Miko, whose mental fortitude far exceeded that of ordinary people and who wouldn't bat an eye even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, couldn't help but change her expression when she heard that Yui Yuigahama actually wanted to be in charge of making bento, and hurriedly stopped her.

“No, really, no, we’ve passed so many trials, if I die because of your cooking, I won’t be able to rest in peace.”

Yui Yuigahama pouted and muttered softly.

“My cooking isn’t that exaggerated…”

“Yes, it is too exaggerated.”

The members had reached the point where they were afraid of their own shadows and changed color at the mere mention of it.

Mainly, Yui Yuigahama’s cooking skills had a very magical characteristic.

If she cooked normally, although it wouldn’t be particularly delicious, and couldn’t compare to Sakurajima Mai and Amano Hina, who were now in charge of the club members’ meals, it would still be above average, just normal.

But once Yui Yuigahama thought about adding her own heart into the cooking process…

Then it would be completely over.

The heavier the heart, that is, the better the relationship, the more frightening the food she made would be.

The key is…

The club members all had a good relationship with her.

Who would dare to eat that?

“That special dish you made for Yozora last time…”

Kawasaki Saki recalled the first time she went to the Reverse World, a complex look on her face.

“Even the Slit-Mouthed Woman twitched after eating it. A ghost would need a few hours to recover after eating it. If a human ate it… wouldn’t they die?”

Yui Yuigahama complained angrily.

“Hmph, you don’t believe in my cooking skills at all.”

“Stop talking.”

Kawasaki Saki picked up a sausage cut into the shape of an octopus and stuffed it into Yui Yuigahama’s mouth, looking speechless.

“We don’t dare to eat it precisely because we believe in your cooking skills too much.”

Sakurajima Mai looked at Nishimiya Shōko, who hadn’t said anything and seemed a little timid, handed her the bento box in her hand, and smiled gently.

“Nishimiya-san, this is yours.”

“Eh? I… do I have one too…? But…”

“No buts.”

Tōma Kazusa directly interrupted Nishimiya Shōko’s words, opened the lid of the bento box for her, and even set out the tableware for her, saying in a calm tone.

“As long as you’re a member of the club, we’ll prepare a bento for lunchtime. This is the rule of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club.”

“Eh?”

Nishimiya Shōko was stunned for a moment, then carefully whispered.

“But… I’m not a member of your club…”

“No buts, you are now.”

Tōma Kazusa looked like a kidnapper, rarely showing a hint of a smile, and gently stroked Nishimiya Shōko’s head.

“I see that you are also a good person, of course you have to join the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club.”

Faced with the benefactor who once saved her life, coupled with Tōma Kazusa’s uncompromising attitude, Nishimiya Shōko tentatively glanced at the other members, and carefully said.

“Um… can I really join?”

“Of course, no problem.”

The more lively members, such as Yui Yuigahama, Yuri River Hwa, Ogiso Setsuna, Amano Hina, and Kitagawa Marin, all replied with a smile.

As for Futaba Rio, Kawasaki Saki, and Yukinoshita Yukino, although they didn’t seem as enthusiastic as the “sunshine group” due to their personalities, they all nodded, obviously having no objections.

As for Yotsuya Miko…

“I also agree.”

Hearing this answer, Nishimiya Shōko breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she was a little afraid of this Yotsuya-san, feeling that… no matter what happened, the other party would remain expressionless, that this person was unfathomable and by no means an easy person to deal with.

Don’t say it, you really can’t say it, Nishimiya Shōko’s sixth sense is quite accurate.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the members couldn’t help but turn their attention to Yozora, who was sitting by the window, and the founder and president of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club smiled and gave a classic one-word reply.

“彳亍.”

…

That afternoon, inside the teachers’ office.

“The basic situation is these, Nishimiya-san, can you roughly understand?”

Nishimiya Yaeko looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of her, her eyes a little dazed, and nodded.

“I can, but… just…”

Nishimiya Yaeko really didn’t expect that within a short day, she would receive two unexpected pieces of news.

The first, of course, was the offer from the Yukinoshita Group, with easy work, a good environment, and generous compensation.

The second…

This Hiratsuka-sensei just said that she wanted to transfer her daughter, Nishimiya Shōko, to Class A of the second year, and introduced the general composition of the class, which only had a dozen people, almost all of them girls, and that Yukinoshita Yukino, who came to her house last night, was also in it?

Not only Yukinoshita Yukino, who was ranked second in the entire grade, but also the daughter of the world-class pianist Tōma Yōko, who was said to be friends with her daughter?

Most importantly… the students in this entire class were members of the same club, and that club also had Sakurajima Mai, a year older, who had been a national idol actress, and then her daughter, Shōko, had been invited?

You should know that Nishimiya Yaeko’s biggest worry was that Nishimiya Shōko, who had congenital hearing impairment, would be isolated, ostracized, or even bullied by her classmates at school.

But if she joined that Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club, not to mention the strange name, at least she would have a place to belong at school.

When Nishimiya Yaeko woke up this morning, she specifically asked Nishimiya Yuzuru what her impression of that Yukinoshita Yukino-san was like.

And Nishimiya Yuzuru, who always dressed like a boy and protected her older sister, gave her a very high evaluation.

“I saw my sister so happy for the first time. Although that Yukinoshita Yukino looks a little aloof, since she can make my sister show that kind of smile, she must be a very nice person.”
