Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"This, that... it's just buying a phone... there's no need for two people to go together..."

"Just consider it helping me out, take this guy away."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Yexing standing beside her, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face, and coughed lightly twice.

"Being alone in a room with this guy, I can't concentrate on the student council's work at all, so, I'm asking you to take him with you and help me buy a phone. Oh right, let him pay the bill. As a boyfriend, to repay me, his girlfriend, for taking care of him for so long, he should give me a gift."

Yexing frowned slightly upon hearing this, his face showing displeasure, and said earnestly.

"Kaguya, you didn't even ask for my opinion on this kind of thing? That's really disrespectful of me!"

"Ah, right, right, right."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked as if she had seen through everything, a look of helplessness in her beautiful red eyes, and sighed softly.

"I'm forcing you to go out alone with Ai, so even if something happens, I will definitely not settle accounts later, definitely not throw a tantrum, definitely not blame you, is that alright?"

"Give me a written guarantee."

"Hey, don't push your luck."

...

Just like that, Hayasaka Ai and Yexing left the Private Shuchiin Academy and came to a relatively famous and bustling commercial street in Kyoto that specialized in selling digital products.

"Wow... here... here..."

Hayasaka Ai looked at the bustling digital product commercial street in front of her, the latest models of cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, and other promotional advertisements displayed outside the stores, and the endless stream of people. Her eyes were almost shining with excitement, and she muttered to herself.

"This... is simply paradise..."

Yexing asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Haven't you been here before?"

"I've been here a few times, but... not that often. You know my previous situation."

Hayasaka Ai sighed slightly and said softly.

"As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya doesn't have the freedom to go out. It's absolutely impossible to get her to come with me."

Speaking of this, Hayasaka Ai changed the subject and smiled.

"But it's better now. Although Kaguya and I still have some different interests, I can drag her along when I want to go shopping, and Yui and Umi often accompany me too. I'm pretty happy now."

"Yui really has a good personality."

"A girl like her, with a simple and cute personality, and a bit silly, it's impossible for anyone to dislike her, right?"

Hayasaka Ai first said this with a smile, then looked at Yexing beside her, seemingly wanting to say something, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed a mobile phone store, remembering Shinomiya Kaguya's instructions.

"This store looks pretty good... want to go in and take a look?"

"Yeah, let's take a look."

Seeing Hayasaka Ai and Yexing entering the store, the shop assistant immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

"Good afternoon, you two. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yexing said with a smile.

"I want to buy the latest mobile phone on the market, the kind suitable for young people, price is not an issue."

The shop assistant nodded, revealing a very professional smile, and pointed to the model machines in the counter, introducing them one by one.

"Okay, then take a look at these... By the way, is it for yourself, or for your girlfriend?"

"For my girlfriend."

"I see, how enviable."

Half of what the female shop assistant said was polite, and the other half was sincere, after all, Yexing's appearance was indeed outstanding, and he also said that price was not an issue, proving that his financial condition was also very good. When the female shop assistant said this, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of envy in her eyes when looking at Hayasaka Ai.

Hayasaka Ai also guessed that the shop assistant had misunderstood the relationship between herself and Yexing, but she didn't deliberately correct it. In fact, she even felt a hint of joy in her heart because of the other party's misunderstanding.

But when she saw Yexing standing in front of the glass counter, chatting with the female shop assistant while picking out a mobile phone, this joy turned into disappointment again.

She... is not his girlfriend.

The mobile phone that Yexing is going to buy is not for her, but a gift for his real lover, Shinomiya Kaguya.

"I'll take this one."

Seeing the mobile phone that Yexing was pointing at, Hayasaka Ai secretly glanced at it, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes again.

It's so pretty.

"Okay, what color would you like?"

Unfortunately, it doesn't belong to her.

"Is there red?"

"Yes, a color that mimics the luster of a ruby, you have a good eye."

Red, that's Kaguya's favorite color, right... As a boyfriend, Yexing is really thoughtful...

After we separate today, should I come back and buy this new phone for myself at my own expense?

Forget it...

That would be meaningless, right?

"Yes, I want one in this ruby color, and then..."

Just as Hayasaka Ai was thinking this, she heard Yexing say to the female shop assistant with a smile.

"Please get me one in ice blue as well."

"Okay."

When the shop assistant went to get the phone and print the bill, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but look at Yexing, puzzled.

"Why buy two different colors? Are you changing phones too? Do you like ice blue?"

"Huh?"

Yexing, who had already paid the bill and taken the two bags containing the mobile phone boxes from the shop assistant, turned his head, handed the bag containing the ice-blue mobile phone and accessories to Hayasaka Ai, and said with a chuckle.

"This is for you. If I wanted to change phones, I would definitely choose black."

"Eh? For me...?"

Seeing Hayasaka Ai looking so surprised, Yexing couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, didn't I just tell the shop assistant? It was bought as a gift for my girlfriend."

Hayasaka Ai's pretty face turned red upon hearing this. For the first time in her life, she felt at a loss. She took the bag that Yexing handed over, pursed her lips, and said with a complicated expression.

"But... I thought you were talking about Kaguya..."

"I bought Kaguya's too, the one that's the color of her eyes."

Ye Xing smiled slightly, reaching out and patting Hayasaka Ai's head.

"I think ice blue suits you better. I originally wanted to ask you which color you liked, but if I asked in advance, I wouldn't be able to see your interesting and cute expression right now."

Hayasaka Ai's face was flushed, and the fingers of her hands with light blue nail art clenched slightly, hugging the shopping bag tightly in her arms, as if she had obtained an irreplaceable treasure, and said with a嗔怒.

"You... you bastard, your personality is really bad, deliberately teasing me..."

"So, do you like ice blue? Do you want to exchange it for another color?"

Hearing Ye Xing's question, Hayasaka Ai shook her head, and as if afraid of someone snatching it away, she quickly hugged the shopping bag containing the phone even tighter, and said softly with a blushing face.

"As long as it's... as long as it's from you..."

"I like them all."

...

That night, Hayasaka Ai finally understood what Kaguya Shinomiya meant when she said, "You will die."

If Ye Xing isn't allowed to have a harem...

Indeed, no one can match his intensity.

Chapter 590 New Year's Visit to the Shrine, Happy Ending (Grand Finale)

Several weeks later, outside Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto.

"Huff... it's so lively..."

Looking at the stalls on both sides of the street selling various foods, short videos, and classic games such as goldfish scooping and bidding, as well as the bustling crowd in front of her, all with smiles on their faces, who came here for New Year's visits to the shrine, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked around, like a curious little girl.

"Haven't you ever come to a New Year's shrine visit before?"

Hearing Ye Xing's question, Hiratsuka Shizuka shrugged, took out a slender lady's cigarette and lit it, then sighed slightly.

"Not really. Usually at this time, I just stay at home drinking and reading manga. There are too many people when I go out, and the weather is cold, so there's no need."

Ye Xing noticed that Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze would occasionally fall on the backs of those women who were not afraid of the cold weather and were still wearing kimonos on the first day of the new year. He couldn't help but take a look at Hiratsuka Shizuka. Even when she came to the New Year's shrine visit, her attire was still the same as usual. She wore a shirt and tie inside, with a coat on the outside, black suit pants below, and a pair of ordinary, unadorned black high heels with heels of about one centimeter.

"Since you think people look good in kimonos, why don't you wear one too? Didn't you wear one when you went to see the fireworks display before? What's wrong, are you afraid of the cold?"

"Hmph, how can mere coldness suppress the hot blood of Kyoto's number one iron fist!?"

Since awakening the power of soul concretization, Hiratsuka Shizuka has developed from her original hidden chuunibyou to an open chuunibyou. Of course, she would only be like this in front of Ye Xing. At other times, even when she was with the Superdimensional Club members, she would not speak like this.

"The reason why I don't wear a kimono is very simple."

Hiratsuka Shizuka exhaled a smoke ring, holding the slender lady's cigarette between her index and middle fingers, and said lightly.

"That time before was the first time I wore a kimono. The cold or something doesn't matter, but the key is that the clothes are too troublesome to wear, and I have to pay attention to the range of movement not being too large. Besides, a beautiful girl like me wearing a kimono is leaning against a tree on the side of the road smoking a cigarette. Isn't the scene too weird?"

Ye Xing chuckled and retorted.

"Beautiful is beautiful... but a girl... I can't agree with that."

"Hey, is that how you talk to your teacher?"

"You're not my teacher anymore, have you forgotten?"

"Oh right... I've already resigned..."

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression seemed a little lonely, Ye Xing continued to ask.

"What's wrong, do you regret it? Can't bear to leave Soubu High?"

"Can't bear to leave? Of course, there's still some of that."

Hiratsuka Shizuka extinguished the cigarette in her hand and took a long breath.

"After all, I've always been a teacher at Soubu High, and those experiences as a teacher... sigh, I don't know whether to say it's a headache or interesting. First, I met that guy Yukinoshita Haruno, which made me experience the first tragic failure in my teaching career. Later, I met Yukino and Touma, and you. These are all problem students that are hard to come by in a century..."

Ye Xing waved his hand, and said with a serious face.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a problem student. I'm mentally sound, mature in dealing with things, excellent in academics, have many talents, have a very charming appearance, and have a great personality. I'm the chosen one sent by God to save you, a problem single female teacher."

"You're being narcissistic again, but..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka took out another slender lady's cigarette from her arms and put it in her mouth, smiling.

"Maybe what you said is right..."

"Pa Da."

Before Hiratsuka Shizuka had time to light it, Ye Xing directly snatched the cigarette from her hand with lightning speed.

"Smoking too much is not good for your health. It's best to quit."

"Quit smoking? That might be a little difficult."

Hiratsuka Shizuka first laughed casually, then her face flushed slightly, and she coughed twice before whispering.

"If... if someone... could use a kiss instead... whenever I want to smoke... maybe I could quit smoking."

Ye Xing said bluntly.

"Huh? Have you been reading shoujo manga lately? How can you say such outrageous lines?"

"You... you!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fists in anger, and was about to threaten Ye Xing when she was suddenly kissed by him.
