Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"But… judging from Nightstar's personality, the contents inside… couldn't be something like 'You have to rely on yourself in life,' or something abstract like 'He is the Butter Shooter, I am the Bread Knight, Shiwa is the Milk Priest, and Haimeng, you are the Sausage Mage'… right?"

"Well… hard to say."

Kitagawa Haimeng thought about Nightstar's usual behavior and also felt that this kind of situation was very likely to happen.

But… if they could all guess Nightstar's thoughts, could he still be called the cunning Innate Abstract Saint Body?

When Eriri opened the brocade bag, she found that it contained a piece of paper folded many times. When unfolded, it was the size of an A4 sheet of paper, filled with neat, vigorous, and powerful characters, even exuding a sense of holiness that made it almost impossible to look directly at.

"Butter Production Manual…?"

Kitagawa Haimeng took the paper that Eriri handed over, lowered her head, and muttered while looking at the contents written by Nightstar.

"The character design of the butter heroine is the most important… The exquisite illustrations and standing pictures are just bricks thrown out to attract players to攻略(conquer), the real thing that sparks the player's interest is the jade inside, that is, the so-called character design…"

"In terms of the arrangement of the plot line, it is best to maintain the rhythm so that players are not always攻略(conquering) at a high intensity. As for the ratio of the lewd parts after the攻略(conquering) is completed to the遊玩(playing) and攻略(conquering) preparation stage, it is like the relationship between seasoning and ingredients. The two complement each other, but attention should also be paid to the harmony of the proportions…"

Listening to Kitagawa Haimeng gently reciting the contents on the paper in a sweet voice and gentle tone, Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Eriri suddenly felt a very mysterious feeling, as if they were not in the club activity room of Sobu High School at this time, but had come to an ancient cathedral paved with white tiles and decorated with magnificent glazed tiles, exuding a sacred atmosphere.

And the content recited by Kitagawa Haimeng seemed to no longer be a manual for making butter, but had become a divine revelation bestowed upon mortals, every sentence, every word, exuding the light of truth.

"Eh, eh, wait a minute…"

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Shiwa finally barely woke up and hurriedly interrupted Kitagawa Haimeng's words, her considerable breasts heaving violently, muttering with a lingering fear.

"Oh my god… I was unknowingly engrossed in listening… Nightstar's words are really too bewitching…"

After saying this, Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked at Eriri beside her, seeing that the other party was still immersed in fantasy, with a silly smile on her face, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and reached out to push the other party's shoulder.

"Hey, hey, wake up! Stop being horny!"

"Eh… oh, oh."

Being pushed by Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Eriri finally woke up from her fantasy and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect… Nightstar's title as Kyoto's No. 1 Butter Shooter is not a false one… He really has an extremely deep understanding of butter…"

"Tsk… I don't even know how to evaluate it."

Kasumigaoka Shiwa's expression seemed a little complicated, with a hint of helplessness in her beautiful red eyes, and a hint of envy from nowhere.

"If he used these knowledge in the right way, such as writing light novels… he would definitely achieve something, but unfortunately, butter has entered his brain."

"Shiwa-senpai, wait a minute, there is a sentence on this that is specifically written for you."

"A sentence specifically written for me?"

Before Kasumigaoka Shiwa had time to feel happy, she heard Kitagawa Haimeng hesitate and read.

"Um… Nightstar wrote this sentence on it…"

"Who said that making butter is not the right way? Not playing butter for a day accumulates yin virtue, not playing butter for three days accumulates a lot of yin virtue. As a great Butter Shooter, creating a top-notch butter that shocks overseas, benefiting countless players, and leaving them with unforgettable and beautiful experiences that they will open their computers to savor from time to time is simply a great merit no less than saving the world, or even more so!"

Off-screen voice: Master Miyamoto: Merit? Where can I accumulate merit again?

Kasumigaoka Shiwa: "…Why does this guy always show such strong passion and ambition in such inexplicable places…"

Kitagawa Haimeng smiled awkwardly.

"That… Mai-senpai also said the same thing, but… after he completely ended his exorcist career, he was still able to find something he was interested in and a goal he wanted to achieve. I am still very happy for him. To be honest, I was quite worried about him at first."

"Eh, eh? How do you say that?"

Gossip is the nature of all women, especially when the topic at this time is about Nightstar, who they are most interested in. Eriri and Kasumigaoka Shiwa both had a curious expression of "If you want to talk about this, I'm not sleepy.", waiting for Kitagawa Haimeng's next words.

Kitagawa Haimeng didn't play dumb and directly opened her mouth.

"You didn't have much interaction with Nightstar in your daily lives before, so you may not know much about him, but he… has a characteristic."

"What characteristic?"

"He doesn't have the kind of hobbies that can pass the time in the usual sense."

"Huh?"

"It's true."

Seeing that Eriri and Kasumigaoka Shiwa both had an unexpected expression, Kitagawa Haimeng sighed slightly.

"Although Nightstar's academic performance is very good and he seems to have a wide range of hobbies, in reality… in his daily life, there is no proportion of things like reading books and doing problems, playing the guitar, or playing the suona. Perhaps it is because these things are too simple for him, or perhaps it is because his abilities in these areas have already reached the maximum level, so there is no need to continue to study them. In short, most of his life since he entered high school has been devoted to his career as an exorcist. Now that the source of the weirdness has finally been eliminated… you should be able to understand why I am worried about his mental state."

"Um… I have seen relevant examples online."

Kasumigaoka Shiwa said thoughtfully: "Many elderly people, even though they lack nothing, still have to continue to insist on working, mainly because they don't know what they can do after leaving the career they have struggled for all their lives. There are even more serious ones who have psychological problems with the recognition of their self-worth… However… I find it hard to imagine that Nightstar would have such psychological problems because of the end of his so-called exorcist career."

"That's right."

Eriri reached out and patted Kitagawa Haimeng on the shoulder, comforting her with a smile.

"After all, the sentence that guy often says is 'I am not a hero, nor am I a messenger of justice, just a person who is driven by interest.' He certainly won't have any psychological gap because the hero career of 'Kamen' and the career as an exorcist have ended."

"Eriri-san is absolutely right."

Hearing this voice, the three looked towards the door of the activity room and saw Hiratsuka Shizuka, with her index finger and middle finger holding an unlit cigarette, leaning against the door frame with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, that guy's personality, words, and actions, although they don't resemble the heroes in those hot-blooded, righteous manga, it's precisely because of this that he won't feel any so-called sense of loss after losing his hero identity and career. According to his personality, being able to retire from the exorcist career and just enjoy the daily life of being close to you beautiful girls, he's probably secretly delighted in his heart. You don't need to worry about him. By the way, what are you guys chatting about? Recently, I often see the three of you gathered together in the activity room. Are you doing something fun? Count me in, count me in!"

"Um..."

The three looked at each other, and finally Kitagawa Marin plucked up the courage to speak.

"That... Ms. Shizuka... we... are making... making eroge..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked puzzled when she heard this.

"Making eroge? Ah? If you really want to talk about it... shouldn't that be the content of home economics class? How are you making eroge here?"

Kitagawa Marin leaned close to Hiratsuka Shizuka's ear and lowered her voice.

"Um... Ms. Shizuka, the so-called eroge actually refers to..."

The more Hiratsuka Shizuka listened, the more surprised her expression became, and eventually even her pupils dilated involuntarily.

"Ah?"

...

A few days later, on Saturday afternoon, inside the Yanagi Shrine.

"Hiss... From what I see of your pulse, it seems like you're pregnant."

Hearing the words of the handsome young man in front of him, a middle-aged man couldn't help but show a bit of astonishment on his face.

"Doctor... I'm a man."

Yozora remained unmoved upon hearing this, and instead said with confidence.

"Ah? Is that so? Can't a man be pregnant?"

The middle-aged man frowned tightly.

"Of course a man can't be pregnant, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Then isn't that right?"

"What's right?"

Yozora looked directly at the middle-aged man's face, with a smile on his face.

"Just like how a man can't be pregnant, we're a shrine here. What are you doing here taking pulses and seeing a doctor? Huh? Scram, scram, scram. Go to the hospital if you're sick, and get your brain checked while you're at it. Don't be crazy here."

"You!"

The middle-aged man's face showed anger, and he seemed to want to say something, but he was glared at by Yozora. For some reason, he felt a little inexplicable fear in his heart, and he stood up subconsciously, gritted his teeth, and finally left silently and dejectedly.

After chasing away this godly person who came to the shrine to see a doctor, Yozora then looked at Ruka Urushibara, who was standing not far away, and said in a calm tone.

"You see, Urushibara-san, this is the drawback of your family's shrine system. There's no set amount for offering incense money, and you can even take free incense sticks to light and worship the gods without offering anything. Shrines aren't charities. Now that the Yanagi Shrine is more famous, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be bored people with unclear minds who come to you to solve all sorts of strange things. Luckily I was here today, otherwise, with your personality, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been embarrassed to directly kick such people out, right?"

"That..."

Ruka Urushibara's face was slightly red, and she stopped sweeping the floor, and replied timidly in a soft voice.

"After all, they are guests who came to seek help after hearing about the reputation of our Yanagi Shrine. It wouldn't be very good to just kick them out... right..."

"What you said is not right."

Yozora shook his head and said with a chuckle.

"No matter what, I'm considered a divine messenger within the Yanagi Shrine. Although I'm just a part-time divine messenger who only comes on weekends, I'm still a divine messenger after all. The divine messenger has already made a diagnosis, but he, as a believer, actually doubts it? What does this mean? It means that his heart isn't sincere at all! If he were sincere, his first reaction shouldn't be to doubt my pulse reading, but to doubt his own gender!"

Hearing Yozora's words, a look of admiration appeared on Ruka Urushibara's face, and even sparkling light appeared in her eyes.

"Yozora-sama, what you said makes a lot of sense! I will definitely keep your teachings firmly in my heart!"

"This little girl..."

Yozora looked speechless. After all, if a normal person heard what he just said, they would definitely complain, right? Even if they could force themselves not to complain, they shouldn't believe it, right?

He had realized something.

This girl, Ruka Urushibara... is a bit silly.

Because she admires him, she completely believes everything he says, even abstract words like what he just said.

This made Yozora, who is always abstract, feel a sense of guilt in his heart.

She's already silly, and you're still teasing her?

"Um, Ruka."

"What is it, Yozora-sama?"

Hearing Yozora directly call her name, a blush appeared on Ruka Urushibara's fair face, and she looked obviously very happy.

"Have you been practicing your sword swings recently?"

Ruka Urushibara nodded repeatedly and quickly replied.

"Yes, yes, I haven't been neglecting it for a single day!"

Ruka Urushibara is a shrine maiden with the ability to "observe", just like Yotsuya Miko, who hadn't awakened her soul manifestation ability yet. This situation is very dangerous, especially since Ruka Urushibara, although a shrine maiden, isn't very brave. She definitely can't ignore those evil spirits and ghosts.

Now that the Reverse World has disappeared, there won't be any evil spirits that can directly interfere with reality or are too powerful, but evil spirits and ghosts still exist in the real world. For the espers of the Overload Society, they are just weak existences that can be easily annihilated, but for Ruka Urushibara, who can "observe", can be directly harmed by evil spirits, but doesn't have the ability to manifest her soul, it is still very dangerous.

Therefore, Yozora made a decision.

To allow Ruka Urushibara to carry Onimaru Kunitsuna with her and practice sword swings every day. At the very least, she wouldn't be harmed by ordinary evil spirits.

Although Onimaru Kunitsuna said that she only belonged to Yozora and was his exclusive weapon that could only be used by him, it was obvious that she just wanted to use this to emphasize Yozora's position in her heart. Truth be told, Yotsuya Miko, as Yozora's lover, had also been recognized by Onimaru Kunitsuna and had the qualification to wield this famous sword.

Yozora could see that Onimaru Kunitsuna quite liked Ruka Urushibara. After all, Ruka Urushibara's personality was timid, she was always blushing, and she was very gentle in her words and actions. It was hard for anyone to dislike such a beautiful girl.

"You haven't been neglecting it... Well, that's good."

Yozora took two steps forward, reached out and patted Ruka Urushibara's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Remember, you are someone who has the qualification to wield the 'Mask's' exclusive famous sword. Don't let down my trust in you."

"Yes, Yozora-sama!"

...

A few hours later, it was officially time for Yanagi Shrine to close.

"Um... Ruka, how about this? I'll contact Oda Rojin and have him take out some of his products and put them on consignment in Yanagi Shrine, and then give you some commission. In this way, it would be a considerable income. After all, the daily operation, maintenance, and consumables of the shrine all require money, and most importantly, you, as a shrine maiden, since you have put in the time, you should get corresponding returns..."

"Um... Yozora-sama."

Ruka Urushibara looked at Yozora, who was seriously recording the shrine's income and expenses for the day, and said softly with a blushing face.

"Are you... free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? I'm free, what's wrong? Do you still want me to continue being a part-time divine messenger?"

Looking at Yozora's smiling eyes, Ruka Urushibara suppressed the shyness in her heart and plucked up the courage to speak.

"If you're free tomorrow..."

"Can you go on a date with me?"
