Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

… …

At the same time, in the hidden world of Kyoto.

Yotsuya Miko decapitated a serpent-shaped evil spirit, then raised her foot and stomped its head into black smoke, her golden eyes devoid of any emotion.

But the next second, Futaba Rio let out a cry of surprise not far away.

Yotsuya Miko turned around and saw Sakurajima Mai standing there blankly, her abdomen pierced by the leg of a spider demon, a large pool of blood flowing down.

“Huh?”

Yotsuya Miko's left eye flickered, turning red, and then everything around her began to rewind rapidly, returning to the moment she had just killed the evil spirit.

But as soon as the time reversal was complete, she saw once again the same result: facing the attack of that spider demon, Sakurajima Mai stood there blankly, as if dumbstruck, allowing the demon's spider leg to pierce her abdomen, without even the slightest resistance.

“What are you doing…”

Yotsuya Miko frowned and activated the time reversal again.

However, this time, after the reversal was complete, she still first killed the evil spirit in front of her, then directly threw the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand, pinning the spider demon's body to the wall, followed by a flash of her figure, drawing her sword, beheading, and stomping, all in one go.

“What are you doing?”

Even though Yotsuya Miko's temper was considered relatively good, she was now somewhat dissatisfied, walking up to Sakurajima Mai with an displeased expression.

“This is the hidden world, please focus, senpai. Dying twice in a row at the hands of such a weak evil spirit, and in the same way, is a bit too embarrassing, isn't it?”

Futaba Rio also found it very strange.

Logically speaking, aside from Yozora, the three people present were the strongest trio of the Supernatural Society: reconnaissance, control, large-scale attack, defense. Except for the lack of particularly long-range attack methods, they could be considered an all-around small team.

The level of that spider demon just now… in the hidden world, it was just mid-tier, even a little below that. Not to mention Sakurajima Mai, even Anjou Naruko and the others who had just become espers would not be injured in a battle with an evil spirit of that level.

Moreover, Sakurajima Mai had been strengthened countless times.

To put it bluntly, she didn't even need the Soul Solidification armor. As long as she mobilized a little bit of spiritual power, the spider demon's attack wouldn't be able to break through her defense, let alone cause fatal injuries.

Is she here to be funny? But Sakurajima Mai wasn't that kind of person. Even if she knew she could reverse time, she wouldn't joke with her own life, would she?

Moreover, this wasn't funny.

Sakurajima Mai's reaction, however, was beyond the expectations of the two.

Although she had Sakurajima Mai's appearance, the kind of flustered expression on her face was something that Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio had never seen on Sakurajima Mai's face, especially not an expression that would appear during exorcism.

“You… who are you?”

Sakurajima Mai's eyes revealed a look of bewilderment as she scanned her surroundings. When she looked up and saw the red moon in the sky, a look of panic appeared on her pretty face.

“This… what is this place? Where am I?”

“What?”

Sakurajima Mai's sudden display of abnormality directly stumped Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko, even causing her to blurt out English.

“Wait a minute…”

Yotsuya Miko's golden eyes flickered, a dark green color appearing in the depths of her eyes as she carefully sized up the “Sakurajima Mai” in front of her, her brow furrowing and her expression becoming serious.

“That kind of aura… you're not Mai-senpai… who are you?”

“Mai… senpai?”

Sakurajima Mai was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then quickly ran towards the side of the street, wanting to take a look at her current appearance through the transparent shop windows.

What she didn't expect was that the thought of running over there had just arisen when her body had already begun to move at an unimaginable speed.

“Bang!!!”

Watching Sakurajima Mai directly crash through the wall of the shop, Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio exchanged a look, both realizing that something was wrong.

Their physical qualities far surpassed ordinary people, but they had been improved little by little. How could there be such a display of being unable to control their own strength and speed?

“This… this is…”

Sakurajima Mai had an incredulous expression on her face as she looked down at her hands in a cloud of dust.

But as soon as she looked, she was stunned.

A very slender, very fair, very soft, very perfect pair of hands, able to make some hand-lovers exclaim 'top-tier', a pair of hands that could completely be a hand model.

But…

“No nail art… this body… Mai-senpai… who am I…”

Meanwhile, inside a high-end hotel in Kyoto City.

“This is…”

Sakurajima Mai looked at her face in the mirror, while also reaching out to stroke it, looking at the face in the mirror, which, although equally beautiful as hers, was dyed blonde and dressed very fashionably, only with a slight resemblance in her eyebrows and eyes, and muttered to herself in disbelief.

“This is… I am… Toyohama Nodoka?”

Sakurajima Mai didn't know what had happened. She only felt a trance, and when she regained consciousness, she was already in her sister's body.

“Nodoka has grown so big… no, now is not the time to dwell on this.”

Sakurajima Mai realized that she had to first confirm the most important thing.

“Break free from your restraints, Suzuhime!”

With her call, a beautiful woman holding a paper umbrella appeared behind her, about to speak with a smile, but was surprised when she saw the face in the mirror.

“Whoa, who are you?”

“It's me… can't you even recognize yourself?”

Suzuhime carefully sensed it. This blonde, spicy-girl-dressed girl did indeed have the feeling of being connected to her soul. Although her voice had changed and her appearance had changed, it was indeed Sakurajima Mai, and she breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a speechless expression.

“Isn't it… can you blame me for this? You can't even recognize yourself now, so as myself, I certainly can't recognize myself either.”

“Okay, stop with the tongue twisters.”

After confirming that she could still use the Soul Manifestation ability, Mai Sakurajima breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't understand why she suddenly appeared in her sister's body, but even if this was the enemy's scheme, as long as the power was still there...

"Wait... I..."

Mai Sakurajima suddenly felt a familiar sense of weakness surge into her body, and before Suzuhime could even speak, she voluntarily dissipated.

"This is..."

Feeling the dizziness in her brain and the weakness in her body, Mai Sakurajima suddenly realized something.

Her Soul Manifestation ability was still there, and so was her spiritual power.

But... her physical attributes had completely become those of an ordinary person, and one who had never used Soul Manifestation and hadn't adapted to this ability.

This was like having the skill but having all the stats cleared.

In Toyohama Nodoka's body, she couldn't unleash Suzuhime's full power at all, and couldn't even maintain it for long.

And the problem is...

She was now controlling her sister's body, so what about her sister's soul and her own body?

Could it be...

...

Inside the Kyoto City Otherworld.

Looking at "Mai Sakurajima" bound by bone chains, Rio Futaba sighed helplessly, pushed up her glasses, and said with a troubled expression.

"This is going to be difficult..."

"Yeah."

Miko Yotsuya nodded, equally at a loss.

"It seems like she can't use spiritual powers, but we can't let her move freely in Mai-senpai's body... Moreover, with this level of physical ability, even if she can't use Mai-senpai's spiritual powers, it's enough to cause unimaginable destruction."

The biggest difference between the members of the Overload Club and ordinary spiritualists is that even without merging with their Soul Avatar, their physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

Breaking through walls, stopping a car with their bare hands, or jumping down from a dozen meters – all of that is easy for them.

Putting aside who this person occupying Mai-senpai's body is, it's already been proven that she can't control this body.

What if this had happened on the streets of the real world instead of the Otherworld?

Wouldn't pedestrians be injured or even sent flying?

It's too dangerous; we absolutely can't let her move freely.

"Who exactly are you?"

Hearing Miko Yotsuya's question and seeing her golden eyes shining with a strange pressure, "Mai Sakurajima" bit her lip, swayed twice, and, finding herself completely unable to break free from the strange white chains, could only sigh helplessly.

"I... I'm Toyohama Nodoka, and I'm... Mai Sakurajima's sister."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Eh? You knew she had a sister?"

Seeing that Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya weren't surprised at all after hearing her name, Toyohama Nodoka was a little surprised.

After all, only a few people knew about her relationship with the famous idol actress Mai Sakurajima, not even her idol group's manager.

After all, the matter of a half-sister... once it involves family gossip, it would not only cause trouble for her as a member of an idol group but also for her sister, Mai Sakurajima, so Toyohama Nodoka had never told anyone.

But now it seems... Mai had mentioned her name in front of these two... these two... maybe friends?

"How... how did Sakurajima Mai describe me?"

Hearing this question, Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya exchanged a look, both thinking the same thing.

Confirmed, this must be the sister that Mai Sakurajima had mentioned.

This feeling of pretending not to care, casually mentioning it, with a bit of awkwardness, but not admitting it... it's really like Mai-senpai.

No wonder they're sisters.

"We can't say, if you want to know, just ask her yourself when the time comes."

Communication was impossible in the Otherworld.

Fortunately, now that Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya possessed the skill to create a domain, they, like Hachishaku-sama, could open "doors" at any time, and their spiritual power was strong enough to ignore the limitations of the Twilight Hour and the Hour of Meeting, allowing them to freely travel between the two worlds.

After bringing Sakurajima Ma... no, after bringing Toyohama Nodoka to the corresponding Overload Club dormitory building in the Otherworld, the three of them returned to the real world together.

"Eh, why are you back so early today?"

Yui Yuigahama, who was being tutored by Yukino Yukinoshita in the hall, saw the sudden appearance of the three and, as if seeing a savior, eagerly tried to escape from this sea of studying, but Yukino saw through her at a glance.

"Changing the subject won't work; if you don't finish studying, we'll stay up longer."

"Waaah... Yukino-chan, please spare me."

Yui Yuigahama looked like she was about to cry and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"My grades are already far above the passing line; there won't be any problems."

"Don't you want to go to college?"

Yui Yuigahama looked dumbfounded and nodded.

"Actually... I don't really..."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's brow furrow slightly, Yui Yuigahama quickly changed her tune.

"Want to, want to."

"That's right."

Yukino Yukinoshita tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pretending not to care.

"Maybe we can go to the same university."

"Eh? So that's what you were thinking, Yukino-chan?"

Yui Yuigahama smiled sweetly, hugged Yukino Yukinoshita, and said with a smile.

"So it was to go to the same university as me, you should have said so sooner!"

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled helplessly and ruffled Yui Yuigahama's hair.

"I really can't do anything with you."

"Let's stop the tutoring for now; something happened."

"Something happened?"

Yui Yuigahama's expression changed, and she quickly stood up.
