Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

After burning her thesis, Kurisu Makise didn't feel upset. Instead, she felt a sense of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted. She put on her classic yellow coat, opened the door, and walked to the elevator.

She reached out, wanting to press the button for the seventh floor, but as her fingertip touched the surface of the button, she hesitated. In the end, she pressed the button for the first floor.

Kurisu Makise was a person who was both proud and very tsundere.

Although she wanted Yexing to accompany her, she didn't want others to know about the unpleasant things that had happened between her and her father.

The lack of parental love in her childhood, and that experience, was Kurisu Makise's soft spot.

She didn't think that her relationship with Yexing, or the other members of the Overload Club, was strong enough to expose her vulnerabilities in front of them.

… …

After leaving the Overload Club's apartment building, and arriving at the location sent by Makise Shoichi, Kurisu Makise entered the cafe on the seventh floor of the hotel. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw her father, wearing a suit and a strange white bow tie, standing up and waving at her.

"Kurisu, I'm so glad to see you again."

"Father… …"

Makise Shoichi's attitude seemed very enthusiastic, and he even pulled out a chair for Kurisu Makise.

"Please, sit down, please."

After Kurisu Makise sat down, Makise Shoichi couldn't wait to ask.

"How is your research going these years?"

Kurisu Makise was a little uncomfortable with her father's uncharacteristic enthusiasm. She simply picked up the coffee cup in front of her and took a sip. The bitterness on her tongue made her mind slightly clearer. She raised her head and wanted to look into her father's eyes, but as if she didn't have enough courage, she turned her face away and replied noncommittally.

"It's… … it's okay, just so-so… …"

"Is that so… …"

Makise Shoichi's attitude was not like he was communicating with his daughter at all. Instead, it was ingratiating and flattering, rubbing his hands together with a smile.

"How is it working at this research institute? Do you have any plans to switch to another one?"

"Switch to another one?"

Kurisu Makise frowned slightly, picked up the coffee cup again, took a sip, and said lightly.

"I'm very happy working at this research institute. My seniors take good care of me, and I'm also interested in the topics that the professor is researching."

Hearing this, Makise Shoichi's eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but he still tried his best to suppress his emotions and slowly said.

"I'll be frank, there's a research institute that has offered me very generous terms. They are willing to provide funding, laboratories, and all the manpower to complete my idea of a time machine that I've had for so many years, to create a time machine that was originally only in theory in the real world."

Speaking of this, Makise Shoichi paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"But, there is one condition, and that is that you must also join that research institute and become a member there."

Hearing this, Kurisu Makise couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

"What is the name of that research institute… …?"

Makise Shoichi slowly opened his mouth and said the name that made Kurisu Makise's heart sink.

"SERN. Although it's not well-known, they've already transferred ten million euros of deposit into my account, which is enough to show their strong financial strength. Going there, you and I, as scientific researchers, will have better prospects for development."

Kurisu Makise's eyes trembled, and she recalled the words that Amane Suzuha had once said. Her expression became a little complicated.

No wonder… …

No wonder she would become a collaborator of SERN in the future timeline, and also develop the time machine, as well as brain science chips that were like brainwashing. So… … it was all at her father's request.

If it were Kurisu Makise who didn't know anything, perhaps she would have agreed to this request, left her original research institute, and joined SERN, under her father's request and her own desire for family affection.

But now that she knew the disasters that would be caused by joining SERN, how could Kurisu Makise agree to it?

"No."

Faced with Makise Shoichi's request, Kurisu Makise shook her head without hesitation, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word.

"That SERN is not what you imagine. I will not join, and I hope you will not join either. Otherwise, you will be helping the wicked. Whether it's a time machine or brain science, the research and progress of technology is for people's lives to become better, not to… … become a tool for that kind of organization to create disasters."

Hearing these words, a distorted and hateful look appeared in Makise Shoichi's eyes, but he still maintained a deliberately kind and false smile on his face.

"Kurisu, as scientific researchers, isn't it our expectation to go to a research institute with strong financial resources? Moreover, they came all the way to invite us, with such a humble attitude… …"

"Came all the way to invite… … Don't you understand… …"

Kurisu Makise sighed slightly, looked directly into her father's eyes, and said softly.

"SERN just wants to get me to join them through you… … You are being used."

Hearing this, Makise Shoichi seemed to have been poked in the sore spot in his heart. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by strong hatred, and undisguised jealousy of his daughter in his eyes.

"I'm being used?"

Makise Shoichi slammed the table heavily. The sudden loud noise made Kurisu Makise tremble involuntarily.

"Are you trying to say that a guy like me, who has no talent, is nothing but the father of the genius girl Kurisu Makise! ?"

Kurisu Makise lowered her head, as if she was a little timid, and said softly.

"I… … I don't mean that… … Don't misunderstand… … But… …"

"There's no but!"

Makise Shoichi reached out and grabbed Kurisu Makise's wrist. The latter couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, but Makise Shoichi seemed to have not heard it at all, or rather, he didn't care at all. His expression had become ferocious and distorted.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even exist in this world! Now, it's time for you to repay me! SERN can provide me with everything, all the resources I need to develop the time machine. This is the best opportunity in my life! There's no discussion about this… … You must come with me today!"

"Let… … Let go of me!"

Feeling the pain coming from her wrist, and listening to her father's extremely twisted words, Kurisu Makise couldn't help but show a look of panic in her eyes, trying to break free from Makise Shoichi's hand, but she was completely no match for the other party's inhuman strength.

Seeing Makise Shoichi's eyes, the last trace of luck and naivety in Kurisu Makise's heart was completely shattered at this moment.

For so many years, she had been thinking about a question.

In this world, would there be a father who is jealous of his own daughter's talent, even to the point of generating feelings of disgust and hatred?

Kurisu Makise probably knew the answer in her heart, but she was deceiving herself, saying that the breakdown of her relationship with her father was only due to their argument about the time machine that day.

In fact, this was never the most important reason.

The most important thing was that Makise Shouichi touched upon the profound theory of time travel with his talent, which he could not achieve the result of his whole life. However, he could see that the problem that he could not overcome despite countless efforts and enduring the contempt and contempt of everyone was just an ordinary subject in the eyes of Kurisu Makise, who was still young at that time.

"Why...why..."

Makise Shouichi exuded a strong black mist, his eyes were covered with dark red bloodshot eyes, looking at Kurisu Makise with a look of pain and panic, and shouted hoarsely.

"Why do you have such talent? Why!!! Why isn't it me who has this talent... Why can you easily solve things that I can't do no matter what? It's all your fault... It's all because you have such a talent that hurts others. You are a complete disaster to stay in this world!"

"I...I..."

Facing her father's accusations, Kurisu Makise pursed her lips and couldn't say a word.

At this moment, accompanied by a strong suona sound, a figure rushed in from outside the cafe.

"Don't talk nonsense here!"

Before Makise Shouichi could react, his whole body flew out and hit the wall with a muffled sound.

Kurisu Makise raised her head and saw a mysterious girl wearing a mask, wearing peach-pink clothes, and with a dumpling hairstyle, standing in front of her, and said sternly to Makise Shouichi, who was lying on the ground not far away.

"Talent that hurts others? Don't blame your weakness on others!"

Makise Shouichi struggled to get up from the ground, his face was distorted and deformed, and he gritted his teeth.

"How can you understand my feelings..."

"Hehe."

Yui Yuigahama sneered twice, with a hint of complexity in her eyes, as if she remembered when she first joined the Overload Society, and said word by word.

"In this world, I'm afraid no one can understand the feeling of being around excellent people better than me."

After saying this, Yui Yuigahama glanced at Kurisu Makise, noticed that the wrist that had just been grabbed by Makise Shouichi had bruises, and her eyes showed even more anger, and she walked step by step towards Makise Shouichi who was standing there.

"But, just because you don't have talent, you want to hurt people who have talent, and even resent your own daughter. At the same time, you want to violate her wishes and turn her into a tool that can be used. You are this kind of guy... You are not worthy of being called a human being..."

Makise Shouichi's face became more and more distorted, sharp fangs stretched out from his mouth, and the skin on the surface of his body began to turn dark purple.

"I am the greatest scientist in this world... As long as I can create a time machine, it is enough to prove my talent... No one can question me!"

A smiling voice sounded from behind Kurisu Makise.

"I am a historian, I can tell at a glance that you are from the Old Century."

Kurisu Makise turned around and saw Yozora, dressed as "Kamen", standing there, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"You... How could you two..."

Yozora replied very bluntly.

"I'm playing a stalking game. The heroine today is tentatively you, so I followed you."

Kurisu Makise: "...Stalking... This doesn't sound like a serious game..."

"What are you talking about?"

Yozora waved his hand and replied confidently.

"The games that brothers play, can they be serious games? Are you questioning the gold content of my Kyoto's number one eroge shooter? Huh?"

Kurisu Makise looked speechless and sighed, holding her forehead.

"You guy... I really don't know where this inexplicable sense of pride comes from."

"Is this called inexplicable? You have no experience in your life, Christina."

"Don't take the opportunity to give me some weird nicknames."

... ...

At this time, Makise Shouichi, seeing Yui Yuigahama and Yozora who suddenly appeared, did not show any surprise on his face that had become no different from a demon, but muttered to himself.

"Sure enough, just like SERN said... 'Kamen' has appeared..."

Makise Shouichi took out a button from his arms, with a fanatical look in his eyes.

"As long as I press it, I can get everything I want..."

"Kiyohime!"

Before Makise Shouichi could touch the button with his finger, a snake tail phantom appeared behind Yui Yuigahama, whipping Makise Shouichi's body like a whip, and at the same time, the end of the tail curled flexibly, directly taking the button away.

"So weak..."

Kiyohime gently placed the button in Yui Yuigahama's hand, looked at Makise Shouichi who had hit the wall and whose body had sunk in, yawned with a bored look.

"Such a weak guy... You don't need to call me out next time."

Before Yui Yuigahama could reply, Kiyohime saw Yozora standing there, the snake's tail sliding on the ground, quickly approaching him, and the tone of her voice instantly reversed 180 degrees.

"I should have said that he was here too. Remember to call me out next time."

Yui Yuigahama: "...You are really a top love brain."

Kiyohime sneered back without showing any weakness.

"Hehe, I really followed you in the true sense."

Noticing that Kurisu Makise's eyes, looking at Makise Shouichi who had transformed into a demon and was trapped in the wall, became a little complicated, Yozora just said lightly.

"He has completely merged with the evil spirit, there is no saving him, and even if there is a way to save him, he has no value worth saving."

"Um... I understand."

Kurisu Makise had already realized that her father, Makise Shouichi, had completely fallen into a state of obsession. Even if she could come up with a way to separate him from the evil spirit that had become one with him this time, Makise Shouichi's obsession with time machines and his twisted desire for talent would only lead him to fall into this state again soon.

Kurisu Makise took a deep breath, and her eyes looking at her father were very complicated, containing a bit of reluctance, but more of it was determination.

"Destroy him."

Chapter 394: The Changing World Line, Who is the Real Master Chef?

"Wait a minute, don't rush."

Yozora stopped Yui Yuigahama, who was about to take action, took the button from the other party's hand, and said thoughtfully.

"Guys like Makise Shouichi who have merged with evil spirits because of their inner distortion... Can they also be brainwashed... But according to his spiritual power level, even if he switches to the Soul True Body, what can he do?"

Yui Yuigahama was a little puzzled.
