Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"What do you mean, negligent homicide..."

Yui Yuigahama pouted, muttering softly with a disgruntled expression.

"I just helped wash the vegetables. Mai-senpai and Yuna are the ones who cooked..."

"Oh, you should have said so earlier."

Before Yui Yuigahama could finish speaking, most of the people present breathed a collective sigh of relief. After relaxing, everyone's faces were filled with smiles of relief, and the atmosphere became lively.

"Um..."

Seeing this, Kagura Wu couldn't help but lower her voice and ask Yotsuya Miko beside her.

"Is Yuigahama-san's cooking really that bad?"

Yotsuya Miko's eyebrows twitched, as if recalling some extremely terrifying, unbearable painful memory, and asked back.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Sure, I'll try it."

Kagura Wu picked up a piece of lean meat and put it in her mouth, replying nonchalantly.

"I don't have any special requirements for the taste of food. I can eat boiled meat without any seasoning. I don't believe it. How bad can cooked food be?"

"Okay, deal."

Yexing didn't give the other members a chance to dissuade Kagura Wu, and clapped his hands as if getting revenge, then looked at Yui Yuigahama and said earnestly.

"Yui, it's up to you now. Give her a big surprise... no, give her your masterpiece!"

Yui Yuigahama looked speechless: "My cooking isn't that bad, is it...?"

"Eh..."

On this matter, the members of the Supernatural Club, who have different personalities and often bicker and quarrel, suddenly showed a rare unified attitude.

"Don't be so humble, Tuanzi. You're being too humble."

Seeing that everyone's evaluation of her cooking skills was so consistent, Yui Yuigahama gave up the idea of continuing to argue.

Being stubborn for a while is embarrassing for a while, being stubborn all the time is embarrassing all the time.

What level is Yui Yuigahama's cooking? Just look at Yexing's reaction to get an idea.

This guy tore off his left arm without changing his expression. He's simply a superman with willpower. But when he eats Yui Yuigahama's cooking, he reveals a grimacing expression that he can't hold back.

It's conceivable how high the gold content of Tuanzi's special cuisine is.

"By the way, Ushio, Mio."

Yui Yuigahama looked at Ushio Kozune, who was sitting there, eating heartily and very boldly, and Mio Kozune, who seemed a little restrained and timid, and said with a smile.

"I remember that you have been growing up on Hitogashima Island since you were born. This is the first time you have left Hitogashima Island, right?"

"Yes."

Ushio Kozune nodded carelessly and laughed heartily.

"Mio and I have come to such a big city for the first time. Kyoto... is really completely different from Hitogashima Island. There are tall buildings everywhere, and there are so many pedestrians on the street."

"Then, after we finish eating, shall we go shopping for clothes together?"

"Eh? Go out to buy clothes at this time? Shouldn't the shops be closed?"

"That's on your Hitogashima Island. The shopping streets in Kyoto are open until ten o'clock. After shopping, we can have a late-night snack together."

"Okay, okay, I really want to take a good stroll around Kyoto."

After agreeing with Ushio Kozune, Yui Yuigahama looked at Yexing, L, and Yagami Yue sitting there, and said with a smile.

"Then, Captain, please accompany these two guests who have come all the way from Tokyo to have fun."

Yexing sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Alas... it's clearly a two-man play between two stubborn guys, but I'm stuck in the middle. I often feel out of place because my sexual orientation is too normal."

"No... putting aside whether my sexual orientation is normal or not, is your sexual orientation... really normal?"

Yagami Yue's face was full of the word "doubt".

"As far as I know, your interests... have extended to non-human creatures, right?"

"Hehe."

Yexing smiled disdainfully and slowly opened his mouth.

"Female ghosts are still female."

"No... the point is the ghost, right...?"

"Hehe."

Yexing looked like an expert, raised his hand and patted Yagami Yue's shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Lao Yue, this is what you don't understand."

"Have you seen 'A Chinese Ghost Story'? Have you seen 'Ghost'? Have you seen 'Twilight'? Have you seen 'Durarara!!'? Getting entangled in an emotional relationship with a beautiful non-human creature, this kind of story is enduring, do you even understand?"

"Besides, I am also selective. Look, the evil god Izanami is also quite good-looking, but I didn't lay a hand on her."

"Impulse is the instinctual desire of being human, but restraint is what makes an exorcist powerful."

"You should learn from it, brother."

...

After eating, the girls went shopping together, while Yexing followed Yagami Yue and L, strolling leisurely on the streets of Kyoto.

"Speaking of..."

Yagami Yue pointed to two girls in the distance walking together, seeing that one of them was wearing a shirt with a "Kamen" anime image printed on it, and the other was wearing a shirt with a "Hyakume" anime image printed on it, he couldn't help but tease.

"Your popularity is really getting higher and higher. I also saw similar peripheral clothing when I went out shopping in Tokyo. Even in Tokyo, there are more people wearing your images on their clothes than wearing 'Kira'. It really makes me feel a little frustrated."

"Stop it already."

Yexing waved his hand indifferently and chuckled.

"You should be glad that you were lucky and didn't meet me when I was hungry, otherwise, I would have eaten you directly in that breakfast shop."

Hearing Yexing mention the things when they first met, Yagami Yue's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, staring at the night sky, and muttered to himself.

"Yes... if I hadn't met you... I might have gone down the same twisted path as the Yagami Yue in that world, completely losing my bottom line..."

"If that's the case, Yexing also saved me."

L said lightly from the side.

"After understanding your abilities, I realized that killing me is not difficult for you at all, and..."

L looked at Yexing and asked softly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you already knew what I looked like before our first meeting outside the prison, right?"

Night Star nodded without hesitation.

"That's true."

"Thinking about it now, it really was dangerous."

L first said this with some emotion, then rubbed his messy black hair that covered his forehead, and slowly opened his mouth.

"By the way, about the recent undercurrent targeting the Kyoto Prefectural Police and Mr. Yagami… which is actually targeting us, how do you plan to handle it? You haven't taken any public action during this time, but according to the information I've obtained, the force manipulating this event doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping."

"Still not stopping?"

Yagami Light frowned, lost in thought.

"This… From the beginning, I felt something was wrong. To deal with us, they deployed so-called police officers carrying guns and explosives at such an important place as Kyoto Airport, and then put pressure on someone of the rank of Superintendent General to order my father to release people, and completely excluded the Kyoto Prefectural Police… According to my understanding, even the most heinous criminals wouldn't warrant such a large-scale response from the police. Moreover, even if they found out our identities, what could they do? It would only cause uncontrollable public opinion."

"The goal of the police is to maintain stability and order, but the recent actions… are completely contrary to their duty… Is it that the authorities believe our power must be controlled, or is it that someone in a high position… harbors personal hatred towards us?"

L nodded: "I've already thought of this, so I'm having people collect information on the relationships of those you guys killed before they died, to see if we can find any breakthroughs…"

Speaking of this, L paused, looking at Yagami Light with some helplessness.

"‘Mask’ is easy to deal with… The only influential person he actually killed was that Congressman Sato, but the people ‘Kira’ killed are a bit too many. First, those connected to the Izanami cult, and then those involved in the Atsuta Shrine case, all of whom are high-ranking figures. When I investigate the network of relationships, almost everyone has suspicion and motive."

Night Star smiled and asked.

"So, the world's greatest detective can't find the truth either?"

"Heh heh, how is that possible?"

L yawned and waved his hand.

"I think you're underestimating me. The three people arrested at the airport last time, I confirmed their names through facial recognition and investigation. Although I can't confirm their real identities through the police intelligence network now, as long as I have their names, I can get information about their place of birth, registered residence, and age. Of course, none of this is important. What's important is…"

Speaking of this, L took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Night Star.

"This is the recent transaction records of all the bank cards owned by these three people. Before the airport incident, all three of them received a sum of money. Although the remitters were three seemingly unrelated companies, after my investigation… Forget it, you guys wouldn't understand even if I explained it. I'll just tell you the conclusion directly."

"The money received by these three people all points to a company called Shimada Pharmaceuticals. I checked it out, and the scale of this company is average, a medium-sized enterprise, located in Yokohama City."

"At this stage, I've only investigated this far."

"Shimada Pharmaceuticals…"

Yagami Light murmured the name and said softly.

"Should we investigate it…?"

"No need."

L shook his head, his tone calm.

"Although it's not clear yet, since it's someone who can give orders to the Superintendent General, it can't be that simple. Acting rashly may fall into a trap, or it may alert the enemy. It's better to catch the real source and then eradicate it completely."

Hearing L's words, Night Star couldn't help but sigh.

"Whoa, you're even using the phrase 'eradicate' now? That doesn't sound like a detective's vocabulary."

"Well, I guess it's because I've been with you guys for too long."

"Okay! Then I'll name you Zhiduoxing Wu Yong!"

"Heh heh, then you're Song Jiang."

"Hey, are you insulting me? Are you being sarcastic? Don't disgust me."

"You disgusted me first. Do you think I haven't read Water Margin? Don't you know what kind of person Wu Yong is?"

… …

Late that night, inside the Overload Company apartment building.

"Mitsuba… Mitsuba… Mitsuba…"

"Who? Who's calling me…?"

Half-asleep, Miyamizu Mitsuha seemed to hear someone calling her, and tried hard to open her hazy eyes, but saw an astonishing sight that she could hardly believe.

At this time, she was standing on a street. Looking at the surrounding scenery, it was the commercial street that she and the Overload Company members often went to, but…

The surrounding walls were covered with black and red blood vessels that were pulsating. Dark red rain fell on the street, and the sky was a dim, oppressive dark red.

What appeared in front of Miyamizu Mitsuha was the back of Night Star transforming into ‘Mask’ during his missions, which she had seen before. Further ahead was a dark red spiral…

Staircase leading to the sky.

Chapter 528: Two People by the River, Kasumigaoka Utaha's Request

"This is…"

Just as Miyamizu Mitsuha wanted to see clearly, she felt a burst of dizziness. When she regained consciousness, she was already in her own room.

"A dream… Is it…?"

Recalling the scene in the dream, Miyamizu Mitsuha couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Such a scene…

What exactly happened in Kyoto?

Is this really just a dream?
