Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“After Kirisu Makise arrived in Sakura Province… first, her father, Kazuo Makise, a minor figure in academic circles, disappeared. Then… Alexis Leskinen, the head professor of her overseas research institute, also mysteriously disappeared after coming to Sakura Province. This matter caused quite a stir some time ago, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was under great pressure. Even now, they are still searching for Professor Leskinen's whereabouts.”

“Two people related to Kirisu Makise have disappeared one after another? This is really…”

Ito Shuji frowned slightly, as if lost in thought.

“People like Kazuo Makise and Professor Leskinen cannot disappear without a reason. Could it be that… Kirisu Makise is connected to ‘Mask’ or ‘Kira’ to some extent? Or… is she herself one of ‘Mask’s’ assistants?”

“We don’t know yet. Should I send someone to investigate?”

“No, no need.”

Ito Shuji waved his hand: “If Kirisu Makise is really involved with ‘Mask,’ then her location is most likely in Kyoto. L is also suspected to be a member of that faction. His counter-espionage abilities and intelligence gathering skills are not to be underestimated. If ‘Mask’ discovers any traces, everything will be over.”

“Understood, Minister Ito.”

“Yes, there is one more thing.”

Ito Shuji extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and sighed deeply.

“In addition to Kyoto and Tokyo, send people to search for people who may have awakened their psychic abilities in other places. No matter what conditions they demand, try to win them over. At that time, I will have someone in charge of forming a psychic ability unit to deal with ‘Mask.’ This is also my duty as Minister of Defense.”

“Understood, I will do it immediately.”

“Yes, do it cleanly, without leaving any traces.”

…

Meanwhile, on the streets of Tokyo at night.

“Tokyo is really hot today.”

“Tokyo is hot today?”

Hearing Yozora's words, Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled. She reached out her hand to feel the slightly cool breeze of the evening, first tightened her coat a little, and then looked at Yozora, who was still drinking iced Coca-Cola, and couldn't help but complain.

“It’s not hot at all, isn’t it quite cool? It seems you’ve had too much carbonated drinks, and it’s dulled your brain.”

Yozora smiled and retorted in a calm tone.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been with you, the second-ranked idiot, for too long, that I’ve been affected.”

Yukino Yukinoshita looked speechless and sighed slightly.

“The words ‘second-ranked’ and ‘idiot’… only you could connect those two together… and I can’t even refute it, it’s really annoying…”

“You should be glad that I came to Sobu High School. Otherwise, the gap between you and me wouldn’t be described by just one ranking.”

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re a genius, okay?”

Yukino Yukinoshita replied with a hint of helplessness, then raised her head to look at the stars in the sky, remembering the words she had said to Yozora when they were in that world before, a blush couldn't help but appear on her pretty face, and she asked softly with a pretense of indifference.

“What… is our relationship now?”

Faced with this meaningful, suggestive question, which in that kind of stomach-churning school romance anime, both people clearly know what the other is thinking, but don't speak human language properly, making people's anger rise from the heart, and evil grow from the gall, Yozora's answer was without hesitation.

“Club president and member, first and second, friends, family, partners, relatives, people who understand each other, master and pet, H-game protagonist and his exclusive RBQ.”

“It’s not…”

When listening to the first part, the corners of Yukino Yukinoshita's lips couldn't help but rise slightly, but when she heard the last two, her smile instantly froze, her face flushed with shame and anger, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and angrily punched Yozora's shoulder, saying angrily.

“What the hell is master and pet!?”

“Isn’t it?”

Yozora had a matter-of-course attitude, frowned slightly, and replied righteously.

“When you were staying at my house, I fed you every day, gave you a place to stay, and didn’t even ask you for money. Although that period has long passed, you are my pet for a day, and you will be my pet for life. As the saying goes, a loyal minister does not serve two masters, and a good cat does not recognize a second master. What, do you want to be punished?”

“You really have a way with words…”

Yukino Yukinoshita knew that she couldn't argue with Yozora at all, so she simply gave up the idea of continuing to argue.

As for why she only mentioned master and pet, and didn't mention the H-game protagonist and exclusive RBQ?

The reason is very simple.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't understand what the so-called RBQ meant at all, but her proud and strong personality didn't want to admit in front of Yozora that she didn't understand the professional jargon he was saying, so she simply pretended to understand.

“Friends… family… partners…”

Yukino Yukinoshita murmured these words softly, the expression in her eyes seemed a little complicated, and after a few seconds of pause, she raised her head to look at Yozora.

“Why?”

“Why what?”

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered, and she opened her lips slightly to ask.

“Why… you and Yui… and everyone in the Super-natural Club… why are you willing to accept me like this…”

Yozora looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding what Yukino Yukinoshita was saying, and just chuckled and asked back.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed a little, and she said softly with her head down.

“I’m… withdrawn, awkward, and always do things my own way, saying whatever I want… without considering other people’s feelings at all, someone like me…”

“You can stop it now, don’t stay here feeling sorry for yourself.”

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could finish speaking, Yozora interrupted directly, and didn’t give the other party a chance to speak again, just said with a smile.

“Awkward? Withdrawn? Doing things your own way? You?”

“Can you be more awkward than Rio Futaba? Can you be more withdrawn than Touma Kazusa? Can you be more self-willed than the number one H-game shooter in Kyoto, me?”

“What? Not considering other people’s feelings at all? Don’t be funny, Insect Snow, your words at most cause some psychological damage to others, but I directly use my hands to imprint unerasable pain on other people’s bodies first, and then I have to use words to break their defenses severely. Compared to that, you can be considered a gentle saint.”

Hearing Yozora’s words, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

In a normal group, someone like her who speaks bluntly, is not afraid of offending people, does things her own way, and has an awkward, tsundere, and stubborn personality is indeed considered an outlier.

But put in the Super-natural Quantum Mechanics Investigation and Research Society…

Not to mention the composition of the members in this club, just the name alone can tell that this club is not normal!

And then there are the members.

Rio Futaba, with a personality so extremely reclusive and strange attire resembling a mad scientist; Toma and Sha, the piano weirdo who never interacts with anyone and only comes to class to catch up on sleep; Saki Kawasaki, who looks like a delinquent girl and has a highly aggressive personality; Hina Amano, chosen by the heavens to be a sunshine girl...

Looking at the initial members, only Miko Yotsuya seemed like a normal person. In reality, she was the most abnormal one, possessing the ability of yin-yang eyes, able to 'observe' ghosts and evil spirits even before becoming a spiritist.

"Besides..."

Yozora shrugged, smiling nonchalantly as he spoke.

"What you call abnormal is only relative to most people. To me and everyone else, it's about liking the real, abnormal you. So... don't say things like that again, as if anyone in our Hyperdimension club has a particularly good brain."

"Pfft."

Hearing the last sentence, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but laugh. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face, usually devoid of emotional fluctuations, revealing a charming smile.

"It's the first time I've heard someone talk about themselves like that, and be so proud of it."

"That's only natural."

Yozora replied with a carefree smile.

"The key is, if I suddenly told someone, 'You're so normal, too normal, without any quirks or special qualities,' it wouldn't sound like a compliment, would it?"

"That's true..."

"So..."

Yozora reached out his hand to Yukino Yukinoshita, smiling as he said,

"A quirky you like this should stay with a quirky me and everyone else."

"Yukino Yukinoshita, give me the right to distort your future life."

Chapter 510: The Resentful Onimaru Kunitsuna, Yukino's True Feelings

"The right to distort my life...?"

Hearing Yozora's words, which were no different from a confession, Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly stunned at first, then the corners of her lips curled into a smile. She gently placed her hand in Yozora's palm, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she replied in a soft tone.

"My life has already been completely distorted by you, you know."

"So... you must take responsibility."

...

When they returned to the hotel, Yozora was about to follow Yukino Yukinoshita into the compartment where the beds were, but at that moment, a black figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path to the beds.

"An enemy?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed, but before she could summon her Soul Avatar, she clearly saw the true face of the black figure and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Onimaru Kunitsuna?"

"That's right, it is I!"

Compared to her previous elegant and indifferent demeanor, Onimaru Kunitsuna seemed a little agitated today. Although she was still dressed in black mourning attire, her entire being... or rather, the aura of the entire sword, was not as gentle as before, but full of aggression.

"Audacious Yukinoshita, what do you intend to do to my master!? I absolutely will not allow it!"

"Huh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita never expected that something the Hyperdimension club members had tacitly agreed upon would be blocked by a sword at this moment?

She had thought that Mai-senpai would object, that Toma and Sha would object, that many people would object, but she never thought that her biggest, and only, rival would actually be a sword?

What does this mean?

Why block me and not Yui and the others?

Could it be that Onimaru Kunitsuna, as a famous sword with its own consciousness, was using this method to tell her that she didn't deserve her master, Yozora?

Yukino Yukinoshita's temper wasn't good, and at this moment, being blocked like this, her good mood with Yozora suddenly ruined, she couldn't help but furrow her brows, her face showing displeasure.

"What position are you in to stop me? You won't allow it? Why won't you allow it?"

"This..."

Onimaru Kunitsuna didn't seem to have a suitable reason to refute Yukino Yukinoshita. She simply remained silent, staring at Yukino Yukinoshita in front of her, her eyes devoid of hostility, but filled with a strange, inexplicable resentment.

If this were a typical school romance anime, even if the heroine made her words so clear, the densest of dense male protagonists, the kindest of kind male protagonists, would probably not understand what was happening at this time, but Yozora was different.

As a veteran galgame player, he had long mastered the most basic skill of seeing through appearances to the essence.

Was Onimaru Kunitsuna jealous of Yukino Yukinoshita?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita, as a human, would not be jealous of Onimaru Kunitsuna, a sword, how could Onimaru Kunitsuna, who only identified herself as a weapon, be jealous of Yukino Yukinoshita, a human?

Don't forget, when she didn't have the ability to transform into a human form and only possessed a little bit of intelligence, she treated Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba, two harem members, like a simp among simps, always trying to please them. How could she have any aggressive behavior?

If that was the case, then it was obvious why Onimaru Kunitsuna would harbor resentment.

"Yukino, go in and rest first. I'll talk to her."

Hearing Yozora say this, Yukino Yukinoshita could only nod. Before entering the compartment with the bedroom and the bathroom, she coughed lightly, pretending to be indifferent as she said,

"That... talk it over and tell me. I'll go wash up first..."

After Yukino Yukinoshita closed the door to the compartment, Yozora sat down on the sofa, looking at Onimaru Kunitsuna, who still looked resentful, staring at him like a wife neglected by her husband, and chuckled.

"What? If you have something to say, just say it. As a weapon, you actually dare to throw a tantrum at your master. You're really going against the grain."

"So you still regard me as your weapon."

Onimaru Kunitsuna snorted softly, sitting next to Yozora, looking like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Then why didn't you use me at all when you were fighting that Yagami Light in that world last time?"

"Because you can't withstand that level of combat. Not to mention collision, just bearing my power is already beyond your limit."

Hearing this answer, Onimaru Kunitsuna didn't seem surprised. After all, as an exclusive weapon, she could feel more deeply than the Hyperdimension club members like Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba, just how powerful and unbearable Yozora's power was. Of course, this was limited to combat. Onimaru Kunitsuna wasn't very clear about the other aspect of power...

"I know that my current strength is gradually falling behind your needs, but..."

Onimaru Kunitsuna didn't hesitate, but said bluntly.

"As long as you use the method of training those humans to give me special training, I will definitely grow and become a weapon worthy of you."
