Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head without the slightest hesitation.

“Ai is not only someone I've grown up with since childhood, but also my best friend. Over the years, when I was lonely and in pain, she was always there to walk through it with me. How could I possibly break off our friendship over this matter?”

“Then what should we do?”

Ye Xing looked worried and sighed heavily. Even when facing formidable enemies like Yaldabaoth and the Evil Spirit Mask, Kaguya Shinomiya had never seen him with such an expression.

“Alas, being in a situation where your best friend falls in love with the same person… is it betraying friendship, or betraying your own feelings? Such a dilemma must be tormenting Hayasaka-san. Alas, it's a pity. If only there was a perfect solution at this time.”

Listening to Ye Xing's long string of lines, Kaguya Shinomiya retorted, slightly speechless.

“Aren't you… can you stop acting? Do you think I'm Yui or Koharu? I'm not as easily fooled as they are. Just say it directly. The so-called perfect solution is to strengthen the relationship through marriage, right? I think Hayasaka Ai is also a good person, so why not just bring her into the Supernatural Phenomenon Research Society?”

“Eh, I didn't say that. You said it yourself.”

“Tch… look at your wolfish ambitions, yet you have to put on airs.”

Kaguya Shinomiya rolled her eyes and sighed slightly.

“However… in the end, it still depends on her own wishes. That Ai's personality is actually quite awkward. When she was by my side as a spy, she already endured a lot of pressure. It wasn't easy for her to get rid of her identity as a spy and obtain my forgiveness. This time, if she feels that doing so is betraying me again, I'm afraid she would rather hide her true feelings and force a smile than tell me the truth. Alas… really…”

Speaking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but glare at Ye Xing.

“It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, Ai and I wouldn't have encountered this kind of problem!”

“Eh, you're not being very reasonable.”

Ye Xing retorted confidently.

“If you hadn't met me, you would still be a shut-in girl, and Hayasaka-san would still be a spy tormented by guilt. I'm not a sinner, I'm the hero who saved you.”

“Tch, you're getting narcissistic again, aren't you?”

Kaguya Shinomiya stood up and said unhappily.

“I'm going to the restroom. I'll talk to you after I come back.”

After Kaguya Shinomiya left, Ye Xing picked up an ice-cold Coca-Cola and took a big gulp. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the next table, wearing a baseball cap, with a big beard, and very broad shoulders, who was reading a newspaper while drinking coffee, and said in a calm tone.

“Hayasaka-san, you heard what Kaguya just said, right?”

“Damn… you can even find that out…”

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Hayasaka Ai knew that her disguise had failed. She simply took off her baseball cap, wig, fake beard, and padded shoulder jacket. Like a magic trick, she instantly returned to her usual blonde-haired, spicy girl look.

She first met Ye Xing's gaze unconsciously, but when she remembered what he had just said to Kaguya Shinomiya, her face couldn't help but turn red. To hide her true emotions, she quickly picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, pretending to be calm.

“Well… aren't you a little too narcissistic… to just assume that I like you…”

Ye Xing explained with a serious face.

“This isn't called narcissism, it's called experience. So far, among the age-appropriate women I've come into contact with, after a period of interaction, the probability of them falling in love with me exceeds 95%. The remaining less than 5% haven't found an opportunity to confess to me yet. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm the legendary succubus reincarnated?”

“Go, go, go, stop being so conceited.”

Hayasaka Ai snorted lightly, revealing a standard tsundere face of disgust.

“Have you ever seen a succubus who carries around a suona and plays it all day long?”

Chapter 573: Kaguya's Wonderful Trick

Ye Xing replied confidently.

“That's why I'm a Kyoto limited edition succubus.”

Hayasaka Ai rolled her eyes and muttered.

“Tch, what Kyoto limited edition succubus… your narcissism really never changes.”

After saying this, Hayasaka Ai glanced at the corner of the cafe, towards the restroom, and quickly stood up, tying the padded shoulder jacket directly around her waist. This was also considered a classic spicy girl style.

Then, she picked up the black and white checkered baseball cap on the table and put it on, pressing the brim down hard, trying to cover her face as much as possible.

If you ignored Hayasaka Ai's smooth blonde hair, just looking at her sneaky appearance, not even daring to show her face, you would think she was a reporter from some gossip tabloid.

“Alright, I'm leaving.”

Before leaving, Hayasaka Ai especially looked at Ye Xing with a serious face and instructed.

“Hey, I just heard you and Kaguya talking, and about me coming here today. You absolutely can't tell Kaguya, you hear?”

Ye Xing showed a rare serious expression, nodded very solemnly, his eyes firm as if he were making a vow.

“Don't worry, I will definitely not tell Kaguya.”

“That's good, you have to keep your word.”

After Hayasaka Ai left the cafe, Ye Xing looked at the girl sitting opposite him, who looked exactly like Kaguya, except for her hairstyle, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, sipping her black tea, expressionless, and asked with a smile.

“Did you hear everything?”

“I'm not deaf, of course, I heard everything.”

Kaguya-hime's voice didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, and it had an overly calm, seemingly unapproachable coldness.

This was normal, after all, the True Body of the Soul was the true heart of an esper.

Kaguya Shinomiya had the girlish love brain and gentle side, and naturally also had the Ice Kaguya side, who had been wary of everyone since childhood and received the elite education of the Shinomiya family's imperial studies.

The only difference was that she originally showed more of the Ice Kaguya side, but now when facing the Supernatural Phenomenon Research Society members who had saved the world together, and Ye Xing, she showed the side of herself as a girl.

Of course, whether it was Kaguya-hime or Kaguya Shinomiya herself, only the style of speaking and demeanor were different, but their views on things and their feelings for the people around them were exactly the same.

“She's even worried about me…”

Kaguya-hime shook her head and muttered to herself.

“She hasn't even figured out how to deal with her own feelings, yet she's worried about her best friend's first date, secretly running over to monitor, and thinks that we wouldn't notice me and you getting so close… she's really a worrying person.”

That's right.

In fact, from the moment Hayasaka Ai in disguise entered the cafe, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ye Xing had already discovered her true identity.

Hayasaka Ai's disguise skills were indeed very superb, but wanting to not be discovered in front of espers was still far from enough.

The so-called trip to the restroom was just a pretext for Kaguya Shinomiya. In any case, the psychic and her Soul Avatar were of one mind. When she returned, Kaguya-hime would naturally repeat everything Hayasaka Ai had just said.

"Ai is gone?"

Yae Hoshi nodded slightly, seeing Shinomiya Kaguya return to her seat.

"Yes, she's gone."

"Sigh, honestly, that girl is such a worry."

Shinomiya Kaguya said the exact same words as Kaguya-hime, even the tone was the same, carrying a sense of exasperated disappointment.

"Why, why can't she muster the courage to come and talk to me face-to-face, to express her feelings?"

Yae Hoshi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Oh, your thought process is quite peculiar. Are you eager to push this sort of thing? What, like Yuigahama Yui, do you also possess the noble awareness to sacrifice yourself for the sake of expanding the Overload Club?"

"That kind of awareness… I completely lack it."

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, a hint of complexity in her beautiful red eyes, and murmured.

"It's just… I feel that even as friends… if she likes you as much as I do… it's absolutely impossible to back down, or rather, I feel that as a friend, she shouldn't back down…"

If it were a normal person, it would be difficult to understand what Shinomiya Kaguya was saying, but fortunately, Yae Hoshi was not a normal person. His peculiar thought process could always understand the true meaning hidden behind the seemingly absurd words spoken by various problem girls.

"So you're saying…"

Yae Hoshi said thoughtfully, "You think Hayasaka Ai hasn't expressed her true feelings because of her master-servant relationship with the Shinomiya family, that is, with you?"

"Yes, I think so, or rather… I'm very worried that's the case."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked down at the red tea in her cup, gazing at her own face reflected on the clear surface of the tea.

"Although I don't agree with Yukinoshita Yukino's theory of genuineness, I think one of her points is still very reasonable. If a relationship is mixed with some strong purpose or utilitarianism, then it is not a true relationship. A relationship built on a certain purpose will collapse sooner or later, as fragile as a castle in the air, and cannot be called 'genuine'."

"Then fire her."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked very troubled, holding the ceramic cup in both hands, and sighed slightly.

"If I fire her at this time, even if the intention is good, but… what if she misunderstands and thinks I want to get rid of her… what should I do?"

Yae Hoshi couldn't help but laugh at the sight of this.

"I'm just kidding, how could I really let you fire her? I've noticed that the more you care about someone, the more your IQ and EQ drop, it's like being hit with a negative buff."

"Stop talking sarcastically, tell me what to do, Ai is my most important friend, like a sister to me… I, I don't want to lose her."

"She will submit her resignation herself."

Yae Hoshi comforted her with a smile.

"Putting me aside, don't you think that Hayasaka-san, like you, wants to break away from the master-servant relationship and truly become friends with you? Originally, she was an undercover agent monitoring you, with no other choice, but now, she is free, and the choice is in her own hands."

… …

That night, in Yae Hoshi's room in the Overload Club apartment building.

"That… that…"

Shinomiya Kaguya's face was slightly red, her fair fingers gently hooking the edge of the black stockings, putting the two black stockings on her slender and well-proportioned legs. The subconscious action of raising her legs formed a beautiful curve that made people's blood boil.

Immediately afterwards, she endured her shyness and took off her top, revealing a black lace lingerie set underneath, with a slit specially opened in the lower half… as for what it was for, those who know, know.

Shinomiya Kaguya covered her body with her hands. This shy and coy demeanor of a young girl made her, who already had outstanding looks, even more alluring. She timidly looked at Yae Hoshi and said in a soft voice, her face red.

"You… are you sure… this kind of clothes must be worn for the first time…? I feel like… you know I lack knowledge in this area… so you deliberately tricked me…?"

"That's not true."

Yae Hoshi explained seriously.

"Not only black stockings and black lace lingerie, but also white stockings and white lace lingerie, and then black and white fishnets and matching lingerie, these are all things that need to be prepared for the first time."

"F… Four sets?"

Hearing this number, Shinomiya Kaguya clearly realized something was wrong. She wanted to question him, but as soon as the words left her mouth, her voice became extremely soft and糯, still trembling slightly, as if she was acting coquettishly.

"You… you are definitely lying to me…"

"How can this be called lying?"

Yae Hoshi reached out his hand, wanting to untie the red bow used by Shinomiya Kaguya to tie her hair, but just then, a figure appeared in the room.

"No, I want to come too."

"Eh?"

Seeing her Soul Avatar, Kaguya-hime, who looked exactly like her during her ice Kaguya period, appear, Shinomiya Kaguya was slightly stunned at first, then said with a red face.

"You… what are you doing joining the fun…?"

"You can't handle it alone."

Although Kaguya-hime's tone was extremely calm, her face also had the same blush as Shinomiya Kaguya.

"As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, even when having an intimate relationship with a lover, one must maintain the proper demeanor."

Saying this, Kaguya-hime's clothes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a set of white stockings and matching lace lingerie that was exactly the same as Shinomiya Kaguya's clothes, but with opposite colors.

Immediately afterwards, she slowly walked to Yae Hoshi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face flushed red, but she had to pretend to be calm, her legs slightly bent, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

"This…"

Seeing Yae Hoshi's somewhat surprised look, Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face turned even redder, and she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"That… that… I specially searched the internet in the afternoon for tonight, it said… if you do this… you will be very happy."

As she finished speaking, Shinomiya Kaguya gently held Yae Hoshi's cheeks with her hands and took the initiative to lean over.

"I… no… we two… tonight, we both… want to leave unforgettable memories…"

Kyoto's number one eroge shooter is once again facing a severe challenge.

Two Kaguyas with completely identical appearances, but different hairstyles, launched a double attack from above and below at the same time.

Especially Kaguya-hime, clearly with such a proud and cold expression, but wearing very seductive, very youthful white lace lingerie, concentrating on serving, and occasionally inadvertently looking up, making eye contact with Yae Hoshi with very well-behaved eyes.

This scene…
