Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Koga-san, what I object to isn't your ability itself, but the reason this ability appeared. Instead of thinking about solving the problem, you lack the courage to face it, only thinking about redoing things, avoiding the issue, hiding yourself… That kind of thinking is wrong.”

“Yukino-shita-senpai, you make it sound simple, but…”

Koga Tomoe pursed her lips, her expression somewhat黯然(Anran), covering her chest with her hands, a complex look in her eyes.

“I came to Kyoto from Fukuoka to study. I don't have any friends here. On the first day of school, Reina took the initiative to talk to me, and she never made fun of my accent. I… cherish her as a friend, so I don't want anything to happen that could hurt her or our friendship…”

Speaking of this, Koga Tomoe looked up at Yukinoshita Yukino.

“Yukinoshita-senpai, how could someone like you… possibly understand my feelings?”

“Don't say that, you really shouldn't say that.”

Yozora suddenly smiled and said.

“虫乃(Mushino)-san, can understand your feelings very well. She's not a local of Kyoto either. She went to junior high and elementary school in Chiba Prefecture, but where she went to school doesn't really matter, because…”

Yozora turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino, with great interest.

“虫乃(Mushino), before you went to high school, you didn't have a single friend, did you?”

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at Yozora, slightly helplessly.

“Although I really don't want to admit it, and I don't think it's important, since you mentioned it, the fact is that before I went to high school… no, before I joined the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Investigation and Research Club, I didn't have anyone I could call a friend.”

“Ah?”

Koga Tomoe looked very surprised, and said in disbelief.

“Not even one?”

“None.”

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, her tone still so calm.

“Come to think of it… before joining the 超量社(Chōryō-sha), I don't think I exchanged email addresses with anyone at school. Well… in junior high, I basically didn't say a few words to anyone. That's about it.”

“Um… this…”

Koga Tomoe didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although this Yukinoshita Yukino-senpai's reputation within Sobu High School has always been that of an unapproachable ice queen, with undisputed perfect scores in both academics and appearance, but from elementary school to junior high, not having a single friend, is a bit too…

Exaggerated, right?

And judging from Yukinoshita Yukino's meaning, she doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with it, and feels it's quite normal?

“That… Senpai, do you…”

Koga Tomoe hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but tentatively ask.

“Do you… have any mental illnesses?”

“Don't worry, she doesn't.”

Without needing Yukinoshita Yukino to speak, Yozora took the initiative to answer with a smile.

“Although this 虫乃(Mushino)-san's personality is very bad, her figure is like a washboard, and her thoughts are so stubborn that people are speechless, but overall, she is still very healthy in both body and mind.”

Yukinoshita Yukino said speechlessly: “Just saying the last sentence is enough, the previous ones weren't necessary…”

Yozora retorted with confidence: “Of course it's necessary. I must prove that I understand you well enough to add gold content to my guarantee that you have no illness. Do you understand?”

“Normal humans have a hard time understanding your logic.”

Yukinoshita Yukino first complained, then turned to look at Koga Tomoe, who looked bewildered, and a rare smile appeared on her face, and she said softly.

“Koga-san, it's not that I don't want to make friends, or that I don't have the ability to make friends, but that I believe that a relationship that can be called friendship must be cherished by both parties, and even if they can't understand each other, they can respect each other, without any hypocrisy… a real relationship.”

“One-sided compromise, escape, hiding, and covering up one's true thoughts, such a relationship can only be called a 'fake’.”

“Whether it's based on your own growth, or the growth of your friend Reina, or even the angle of friendship between the two of you, I personally think it's better to take the initiative to tell the truth. Of course, this is just my personal opinion on your adolescent syndrome.”

“The choice to take my advice is yours.”

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, Koga Tomoe's thoughts obviously wavered. A look of entanglement appeared in her eyes. She pursed her lips, as if she couldn't make up her mind for a while. After nearly a minute, she looked up and looked at Yozora sitting there.

“Se… Senpai… what do you think… I should do?”

“You're asking me?”

Yozora didn't think much and gave his own answer directly.

“What growth, friendship, fake things, these things are too complicated, I don't understand. This is your own decision. If you don't even have the courage to decide what you want to do, then even if you listen to my opinion and go to that Reina-san to explain everything, it won't change the reality that you are a weak person.”

“Acting only to carry out one's own beliefs, and never wavering in the face of any obstacles, that is the real strong.”

Hearing the last sentence, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but complain.

“Isn't that a line that Mai-senpai said on live television this morning? Are you plagiarizing?”

Yozora asked back with confidence.

“You can copy me, can't I copy Mai? Huh? I want to copy whoever I want, I am the invincible 超人强(Chāorén qiáng / Superman Strong).”

Yukinoshita Yukino: “...I always feel like you're implying something, but I don't have any evidence.”

“Weak… I…”

After listening to the opinions of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yozora, Koga Tomoe took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of determination, and looked up with a firm look on her face.

“Um… Yukinoshita-senpai, Senpai, I will muster up the courage to tell Reina the truth. After all, even if the world is reset and cycles, those things really happened to me. If I hide it from my friend, can I still be considered a friend? So… I will tell her.”

…

Later that day, in the hotel room where Sobu High School students were staying.

“朋绘(Tomoe), you're back? Let's go out and play together.”

Facing her smiling friend Reina, Koga Tomoe only managed to squeeze out a smile. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Where are they?”

“Oh, they said today is the last day of the school trip, and we should go back tomorrow at noon, so they didn't wait for you and went out to play first.”

“Reina, were you… specifically waiting for me?”

Hearing Koga Tomoe's question, Reina turned her head and replied with a smile.

“Of course, we are friends.”

Hearing this, Koga Tomoe was stunned for a moment, then, as if she had made some kind of determination, stepped forward and put her hand on Reina's shoulder, and slowly said.

“Reina, there's something I want to tell you. Some time ago, that 前泽(Maezawa)-senpai…”

“I know.”

Koga Tomoe didn't expect to get such an answer before she said anything, and couldn't help but be stunned.

“Eh? How did you…”

“I heard about it.”

Reina turned her head, still with a smile on her face.

"I heard recently that Maezawa-senpai is such a scumbag. He told his friends that he thought you were cute and wanted to make a move on you. As a result, after that basketball game, his entire image was ruined. Forget making a move on girls, I heard even his performance on the basketball court has been terrible ever since. I guess that's the retribution he deserves."

"Eh? But since you knew, why didn't you tell me...?"

"You didn't tell me either."

Rena patted Koga Tomoe's head and said with a smile.

"I know what you're worried about, but it's okay. I already saw through Maezawa-senpai for who he is. A guy like that couldn't possibly affect the friendship between us. I didn't say anything because I was worried you'd feel awkward. Now that you've taken the initiative to talk to me about it, the problem is solved."

Hearing this, Koga Tomoe's heart had just settled down when she heard Rena say something she didn't expect.

"Besides, don't you have someone you like already?"

"Eh? Someone I like? I don't."

"Still acting?"

Rena covered her mouth and giggled, saying meaningfully to Koga Tomoe.

"Weren't you having coffee with Yoboshi-senpai from the second year today?"

Hearing this, Koga Tomoe's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she stammered.

"You... you... how did you know...?"

Koga Tomoe's reaction was actually because the topics she discussed with Yoboshi and Yukinoshita Yukino today were too sensitive, involving both the true identities of the "Mask" group and that peculiar thing of hers, which caused the world to fall into a cycle of repetition, something the Overload Club members called Adolescence Syndrome.

Neither of these things could be revealed to others.

However, Koga Tomoe's nervous behavior, in Rena's eyes, seemed like the embarrassment of a young girl whose love had been exposed. She didn't become suspicious and just said with a motherly smile.

"Some girls from our grade saw you entering that cafe while they were out shopping today, and then a few minutes later, Yoboshi-senpai and a... an Overload Club senpai, I think, also went in. Are you really going to say that you suddenly said you wanted to go out alone this afternoon, and then Yoboshi-senpai and you happened to be at the same cafe, just a coincidence?"

"Um..."

Koga Tomoe's brain was racing, pushing her not-so-clever mind to the point of overload, finally making a very wise and correct choice.

"This... that... don't tell anyone... after all..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Rena patted Koga Tomoe's shoulder with a knowing look, smiling meaningfully.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely cheer you on. You can even let me be your wingman on your next date."

Koga Tomoe's thinking was simple.

Rather than explaining why she had to meet Yoboshi-senpai, it was better to just let them misunderstand. That way, there would be a reasonable explanation.

As for Yoboshi's reputation at school...

To be fair, someone like Maezawa-senpai is a scumbag, nasty, and vulgar.

But if the object was Yoboshi-senpai, Rena's thoughts seemed to be different. After all, he's so handsome, has good grades, is good at sports, and other than his personality being slightly abstract, he's simply the perfect ideal boyfriend.

This is the charm of the Harem God.

...

On the other side, in the train.

"It's the two of you taking the train together again..."

Yukinoshita Yukino sat by the window, legs together, hands on her knees, sitting very properly.

Yoboshi sat next to her. The two of them were going to Chiba again, this time to confirm whether the strange events happening at the hospital where Hayama Hayato's mother worked, which he had mentioned, were true or false. If there really was something strange going on, they would find a way to eliminate it.

Of course, there was another important reason for letting them act alone.

Yui Yuigahama took the initiative to say that Yukino was more familiar with Chiba City. Now that the Okinawa incident had been resolved, most of the Overload Club members, plus Hiratsuka Shizuka, planned to return to Kyoto first. Only Kitagawa Marin and Kawasaki Saki heard that a popular anime convention would be held in Tokyo on Sunday, and Sakurajima Mai wanted to see her younger sister, Toyohama Nodoka, who was in Tokyo and working hard to connect with the stage performance, and express her condolences, so she went to Tokyo with Kitagawa Marin and Kawasaki Saki.

Yui's ability to create opportunities...

The King of Assists, well-deserved.

He was looking at the news on his phone.

Today's hot news, besides the "Mask" group's actions in Okinawa City this morning, was naturally the identity of the serial killer in the court.

"According to an anonymous letter received by this station, the perpetrator is named Mikami Teru, is around twenty-seven years old, about 1.75 meters tall, and is characterized by a refined and handsome appearance. He wears black-rimmed glasses when disguising himself."

The Overload Club would naturally not give such information to Suga Natsumi to report, after all, she was just a self-media person. The usual interviews and reports could be said that she was just a supporter of the "Mask" group, but if she reported this matter, it would be enough to prove that Suga Natsumi's relationship with the "Mask" group was extraordinary, even possibly one of their assistants.

At this stage, Yoboshi could not determine how many people came from another timeline, whether it was only Mikami Teru, or even Yagami Light himself, who had become the god who ruled the world on another timeline, known as the God of the New World.

Due to the nature of not being able to be "recorded", the Overload Club's original search methods were hindered. L could not search for Mikami Teru's whereabouts through surveillance camera screening, and the Metropolitan Police Department's attitude towards him seemed to be ambiguous, so he could not mobilize the police force of the entire Sakura Province directly without giving any reason, as before.

Most importantly...

Now, the identities of two people have been exposed, namely L and Yagami Light.

L is fine, he is alone. As long as he hides in a safe place, he has no connections in this world. And Mikami Teru, who has already exposed his identity, is too busy hiding himself to have the energy to specifically look for him.

But Yagami Light's mother and sister are both in Tokyo, and his father, Yagami Soichiro, is the "Mask" assistant that everyone knows, even if they don't say it out loud.

"Mikami..."

Yoboshi looked at the portrait of the criminal Mikami Teru, which he had copied from memory and with superb sketching skills, and muttered to himself.

"You really don't understand that you are listening to the bewitchment of the God of the Timeline, and coming here..."

"What a dangerous world it is."
