Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

That question is…

“Night Star, who do you want to team up with?”

Instead of waiting for disaster to strike and then trying to solve it, it's better to take the initiative and nip the threat in the bud.

“Alright, everyone, stop arguing.”

Night Star slowly opened his mouth and said.

“My dear Consort, Yako, since you two are planning to do reconnaissance, then take Christina with you. Her intelligence and observation skills should be able to provide a lot of help.”

“Okay.”

For this grouping, Rio Futaba and Yotsuya Yako had no objections. After all, they are among the top tier of strength within the Overload Club, so it's only natural that they should protect the ordinary members. Moreover, Rio Futaba has a good impression of Kurisu Makise, who has a good mind.

“As for myself…”

Amidst the expectant gazes of the girls, Night Star pointed to Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing there with a blank expression, and said with a smile.

“I’ll team up with lovely Shizuka.”

…

Forty minutes later.

After sending the members of the Overload Club, who had been divided into groups, to their respective destinations, all that was left in the car that Kaguya Shinomiya had specially prepared for the Overload Club for this school trip were Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and Night Star, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

It was only at this time that Shizuka Hiratsuka pursed her lips and softly asked.

“The reason you chose to team up with me, is it because…”

“Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with sympathy.”

Without waiting for Shizuka Hiratsuka to speak, Night Star had already predicted her prediction. He turned his head to look at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was driving, and delivered his strongest move, a straightforward attack without any frills.

“I wanted to choose you, so I chose you. Because I wanted to go out alone with you, it’s as simple as that.”

Hearing these words, Shizuka Hiratsuka's face instantly turned red. If she hadn't considered that she was still driving, she probably would have already turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to face Night Star's sincere gaze.

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

“Then… then…”

Under the nervousness and shyness, Shizuka Hiratsuka unconsciously tightened her grip on the steering wheel, stammering.

“Going out with… with an old woman like me… won’t you find it boring…”

“I’ve never thought of you as some boring old woman.”

“Eh?”

Hearing Night Star's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously asking back.

“But you always used to…”

“Lies don’t hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife.”

Night Star waved his hand, leaned back in the passenger seat, and explained with a smile.

“For the people I care about, I will never say those words that will truly hurt them. The fact that I call you a single iron fist old woman proves that I don’t think this matter is worth mentioning at all, it’s just a way to liven up the atmosphere. Besides, you’re not old to begin with.”

Hearing these words, the joy in Shizuka Hiratsuka's heart was already beyond words, but she still had to put on a calm appearance, only blushing and whispering.

“Fine… fine, you pass. Then next… where are we going to play?”

Night Star replied with a smile.

“Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”

“Really?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this.

“Then you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”

…

Fifteen minutes later.

Night Star looked at the slightly noisy arcade in front of him, feeling slightly speechless.

“This kind of date location… is a first for me.”

“Arcades are so much fun.”

After entering the arcade, Shizuka Hiratsuka had a flushed face and an eager, excited look. She was wearing casual clothes today, and from her appearance, you couldn't tell at all that she was a single iron fist in her late twenties, she was just like a college student.

“There’s racing, there’s that boxing game, and there’s that kind of hot-blooded fighting game, this… this is simply paradise!”

Hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, Night Star thought that it seemed to be the case.

All of this lovely Shizuka’s hobbies seem to be able to be satisfied in the arcade:飆車(Speeding), 熱血格鬥(Hot-blooded fighting), 還 有揮拳(Also punching), 然後會用數值(Then using numerical values), 顯示出拳力道的那種遊戲機(That kind of game machine that shows the power of the punch).

“Okay, then which one do you want to play first?”

“I want to play that one first.”

After leaving the members of the Overload Club and arriving in an unfamiliar city, Shizuka Hiratsuka rarely took off her disguise as a teacher, hooking her arm around Night Star's arm, like a little girl, pulling him to the boxing game machine, eagerly putting on the boxing gloves, and even making a passionate, even somewhat chuunibyou declaration.

“Okay, I, Iron Fist Shizuka Hiratsuka, will break the record of this arcade!”

Chapter 480 Yuigahama Yui’s Motto, A Mysterious Visitor’s Tarot Reading

Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka's eager appearance, Night Star silently took a few steps back.

And those who had unconsciously cast their gazes over upon seeing a tall, beautiful young woman appear in the arcade were also somewhat curious, wondering how this seemingly delicate young woman dared to presumptuously claim that she would break the record of this arcade?

Although this kind of game machine used for playing isn’t professional, if you want to break the record for the numerical value of the punching force, no matter what, it has to be a strong and sturdy man, right?

How could a slender woman possibly…

“Bang!!!”

Just as the onlookers were harboring such thoughts in their hearts, they suddenly heard a loud bang.

They only saw Shizuka Hiratsuka throw a punch, so fast that people couldn't even see her movements clearly. There was even a sonic boom in the air.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the sandbag had already fallen down, and the numbers on the screen above were constantly flipping, finally showing an astonishing number that these customers had never seen before after a full ten seconds.

9999.

This doesn’t represent the limit of the power that Shizuka Hiratsuka punched out just now, but the limit of the numerical display of this boxing game machine.

The limit of this machine is only able to display four digits.

“Holy crap…”

“Where did this guy come from? He's too strong!”

“The staff are all running over to check the machine. Is he even human?”

“Is he a professional boxer? So strong!”

… …

Listening to the exclamations of the surrounding guests, Hiratsuka Shizuka slightly raised her chin. Good thing she doesn't have a tail like Tamamo-no-Mae, or it would probably be sticking straight up in the air right now.

Originally, there were a few people who thought Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yozora might be siblings out having fun, and they wanted to try their luck at chatting up this young beauty. But after seeing the shocking number of 9999 and witnessing the amazing power of Hiratsuka Shizuka's punch, they quietly retreated, completely abandoning their thoughts.

Good grief…

With a punch like that, which normal man could withstand it?

In that moment, the gazes of the men in the arcade, looking at Yozora standing next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, had already changed from jealousy and envy to pure admiration.

Regardless of whether the relationship between these two is that of siblings or lovers, this young man…

…is truly a role model for men.

It must have been difficult for him to survive until today, right?

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka herself, she seemed to have realized the shock that her actions had brought to the surrounding crowd, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking that she should have acted more gentle and ladylike in front of Yozora.

Otherwise, if her favorability decreases during their first official date…

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was feeling uneasy and regretting her actions, Yozora smiled and said.

“Not bad, as expected of the Single Iron Fist.”

Hearing Yozora's teasing tone and seeing his unamazed, but rather genuinely admiring expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally let out a sigh of relief. To hide her thoughts, she deliberately reached out and punched Yozora's shoulder, her tone as delicate as a young girl.

“Shut up, what Single Iron Fist? Giving me that nickname, it sounds awful.”

“Then what should I call you? The Overlord of the End of the Century?”

“That… is another wasteland-style nickname. Don't you have anything a little more girlish?”

“I didn't think you were a girl.”

“Are you asking for a beating?”

Watching Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yozora leave the boxing machine and head towards the fighting game area, the men present all showed sincere admiration in their eyes.

So strong.

To be able to make all sorts of excessive jokes with a beauty who possesses such terrifying power and such a contrasting appearance, and not only not get beaten up, but the beauty even seems to be very shy, truly a role model for us, a man among men, a male among males.

… …

While Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yozora were on their first date, enjoying the fun at the arcade, on the other side of Okinawa City…

“It's so hot, it's really too hot.”

Yui Yuigahama raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was still wearing long pants and a thin jacket in such hot weather, and couldn't help but ask.

“Yukino-chan, aren't you hot wearing so much?”

“I'm fine.”

Yukinoshita Yukino brushed her long black hair behind her ear, then looked at Yui Yuigahama, who was wearing short sleeves and hot pants, but was still panting from the heat, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, unable to hold back her amusement.

“Yui, the way you're panting with your tongue out… you look like a dog.”

“Seriously, you're so vindictive…”

Faced with Yukinoshita Yukino's teasing, Yui Yuigahama was so hot at this point that she didn't even have the strength to banter with her.

Although her physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, walking around in such hot weather still made her feel very uncomfortable, leading to mental exhaustion.

Watching Yui Yuigahama's listless appearance from the heat, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly had an idea, and said softly.

“Face the truth, Snow Woman.”

The Snow Woman, wearing a white kimono, appeared behind Yukinoshita Yukino, then gently parted her lips and breathed a small breath towards Yui Yuigahama.

The next second, Yui Yuigahama, who had been feeling extremely hot, felt a cool breeze, as if it was blowing into her bones, instantly making her feel much more awake.

“Eh? Yukino, your ability, it turns out it has this kind of effect.”

Yui Yuigahama moved closer to the Snow Woman, feeling the refreshing coolness emanating from her white skin, and couldn't help but envy her.

“That's great… this way, summer is like having a portable air conditioner.”

“How is that possible?”

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head: “Even if the Snow Woman doesn't do anything, the maximum time I can maintain her existence is no more than five minutes. It's completely unnecessary to expend all my energy and stamina just to be an air conditioner…”

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was halfway through her sentence, she noticed that Yui Yuigahama had suddenly stopped, looking hesitant.

“What's wrong?”

Yui Yuigahama pursed her lipstick-coated, shiny pink lips under the sunlight, cautiously peeking at Yukinoshita Yukino, and tentatively asked.

“Have you… asked Haruno-nee about that cultivation question yet?”

Yukinoshita Yukino also remained silent for a few seconds after hearing this, before finally nodding slightly and saying softly.

“I asked.”

“Then…”

“It's okay, Yui.”

Before Yui Yuigahama could finish speaking, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly took her hand, a rare smile appearing on her face.

“This time, I'm going to rely on my own efforts to fight for what I want.”
