Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

She was used to staying over; towels, toothbrushes, changes of clothes, all were kept at Yozora's house.

The problem now was:

Rio Futaba didn't want Mai Sakurajima to know that she was planning to stay at Yozora's house. After all, a lone man and woman under the same roof… with her being so thin-skinned, she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

But.

Mai Sakurajima didn't have that reservation.

"Futaba-san…"

Just as Mai Sakurajima was about to lay it all out and make Rio Futaba back down, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Yozora got up and opened the door, finding someone standing outside whom he hadn't expected.

"Good morning."

Toma Kazusa was wearing a plain black long-sleeved shirt and black short sleeves, and because she was going out at night, she had also added a short jacket.

After greeting him, she put her two fair, slender hands together and breathed into her palms.

"Toma-san?"

Yozora had originally thought that Yagami Light or Yono would be standing outside the door.

He didn't expect it to be Toma Kazusa.

"How did you know where I live?"

Toma Kazusa's expression was emotionless as she replied blandly.

"I asked Hiratsuka-sensei. She heard I had something to ask you and told me directly."

Hearing this, Yozora thought that Shizuka Hiratsuka really wouldn't give up until she reached the Yellow River.

If Toma Kazusa came to his door at any other time, it would be fine.

But…

With the entrance as the dividing line, these were two different worlds.

A silent battle was currently taking place in the living room.

Of course, Yozora couldn't let Toma Kazusa just stand outside, so he could only step aside slightly.

"Come in and we'll talk."

"Okay."

Toma Kazusa stepped inside and immediately saw the can of Pepsi Cola on the shoe rack.

A complex look flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, only looked at Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba sitting in the living room.

"Who are they?"

Player Toma Kazusa joins the battle.

"Let me introduce you."

Yozora led Toma Kazusa through the entrance and into the living room.

"This is Mai Sakurajima, an upperclassman one year above us."

Hearing his introduction, Rio Futaba thought that this was unnecessary.

Even the reclusive and unsociable her had heard of Mai Sakurajima's name.

As a student of Sobu High School, how could Toma Kazusa not have heard of her?

Unexpectedly, after hearing the name Mai Sakurajima, Toma Kazusa didn't even shift her gaze, her eyes remaining fixed on Yozora, only giving a short word in response.

"Oh."

Mai Sakurajima was also stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to react this way.

Yozora knew that, according to Toma Kazusa's personality, she probably really didn't know Mai Sakurajima.

After all, in her life, there was only the piano, and she didn't pay attention to anything else.

But Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba's thoughts were a bit more complicated.

Oh? What does that mean?

Could it be that Toma Kazusa actually knew Mai Sakurajima, but had already sensed the tense atmosphere in the air, so she was preparing for battle and didn't want to show surprise in front of the enemy?

What calmness was this?

She wasn't even willing to be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

This was a formidable enemy!

"This is Rio Futaba, and she's my classmate in class, Toma Kazusa."

Yozora led Toma Kazusa to sit on the sofa, but before he could speak, the latter said blandly.

"You have a club about supernatural events, right?"

"Yes."

"That's good, I have a request."

Hearing the word "request", Rio Futaba and Mai Sakurajima exchanged glances, both instantly understanding the other's meaning.

Let's not fight for now.

Business comes first.

"Oh?"

Yozora looked interested.

"What kind of request is it specifically?"

Toma Kazusa didn't hesitate and said directly.

"The piano in my house always plays for no reason. Oh right, I live alone, so there's no possibility of someone else playing it."

Hearing the familiar line "live alone", Rio Futaba felt a little complicated, but still asked.

"When did it start roughly?"

Toma Kazusa glanced at her, thought thoughtfully, and then said blandly.

"Probably… before the start of the school year."

"Ah?"

Mai Sakurajima and Rio Futaba were both stunned.

Wait, before the start of the school year?

Wasn't that at least a month ago?

Just listening to Toma Kazusa's description, the two girls felt a little creepy.

Living alone, and then the piano would play for no reason.

Shouldn't a normal girl's reaction be to be very scared, move out of the house directly, and then go find an exorcist?

How could she have waited more than a month before coming?

"Then you… why are you only saying it now?"

Faced with Rio Futaba's doubts, Toma Kazusa only said softly.

"At first, it didn't affect me. Anyway, the piano only played when I was sleeping, but these past few days, I've found that when I play, it's like another person is pressing the keys with me, affecting me, so I wanted to ask Yozora for help."

Rio Futaba didn't notice, but Mai Sakurajima had seen Toma Kazusa during her adolescence syndrome.

She noticed a detail in the other party's words.

She was asking "Yozora" for help, not the "Supernatural Club".

Wasn't this a warning to herself and Rio Futaba?

Meaning, you two are in the way, leave quickly, I only want to find Yozora alone?

Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly, secretly thinking that Toma Kazusa looked gentle and quiet on the surface, very aloof.

She didn't expect her to be a formidable enemy with such tactics.

This battle today was not going to be easy.

Chapter 095 The Red-Clothed Ghost Haunting Toma Kazusa's House

"Yeah… that's how it is…"

After listening to Toma Kazusa's description, Yozora had a rough idea in his mind.

This was most likely a real supernatural event.

On the one hand, Toma Kazusa was different from those students who had nothing to do all day and were bored. She wouldn't make a fuss over a little thing.

On the other hand.

A ghost playing the piano, wasn't this a very classic scene?

However, in such stories, it was usually an empty activity room.

Running to someone else's house, playing their piano, and now even fighting to play it.

This was a ghost with a sincere love for music.

Rio Futaba also gave her comments.

"Listening to Toma-san's description, the problem isn't very big."

If it were an evil spirit, even if it wasn't a very powerful one, Toma Kazusa should feel heavy, mentally unwell, or have trouble sleeping, etc.

Instead of playing the piano every day.

This indicated that it wasn't an evil spirit, but an ordinary ghost, or simply a lingering attachment of a human who had died.

"Toma-san."

Thinking of this, Rio Futaba specifically asked.

"Was the piano in your house newly bought?"

"Yeah…"

Hearing this question, Toma Kazusa seemed a little lonely.

She lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face, only her voice carried a hint of inexplicable sadness.

"It was my mother who had someone move it over when she left two months ago."

Rio Futaba thought that this made sense.

Normally speaking, evil spirits and ghosts, as well as spirits lingering in the world due to attachments after humans die, cannot cause any impact on objects in the real world.

But there was an exception.

That was things they had been in contact with many times during their lifetime, or simply an object that caused them to be unable to rest in peace.

In such cases, they could cause some influence.

But it was limited to small actions like pressing piano keys, like this time.

For this level of weirdness, the Supernatural Club didn't even need to take action.

The small trinkets like protective charms in Oda Notou's shop were already completely sufficient.

Of course, since Toma Kazusa had come to the door, and was a classmate in the same class as Yozora, Yotsuya Miko, and Yui Yuigahama, then he definitely still had to help.

Rio Futaba was about to speak, but Yozora preempted her.

"Don't say it, I'll handle this matter myself. I also know a little about music theory."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Toma Kazusa couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Do you also play an instrument? Guitar? Bass? Or orchestral instruments?"

Yozora shook his head.
