Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

He suddenly thought of a way to make Yui Yuigahama realize just how disastrous her cooking tasted.

If he just took a bite first, and then kissed Yui Yuigahama, he could leave her with nowhere to escape!

After carefully considering it…

This method requires too great a sacrifice.

Unnecessary.

Seeing that Yakumo was just sitting there, not even touching his chopsticks, Haruna Amano asked in confusion.

"Yakumo-kun, why aren't you eating?"

"Oh, I'm going to eat something else later."

"Something else?"

Haruna Amano didn't think much of it, just assuming that the noodles she made were too plain and didn't suit his taste.

She rested her chin in her hand, not really minding, but curiously asked.

"Yakumo-kun, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Is your ability just creating things out of thin air?"

Yakumo shook his head and chuckled.

"Not really, that was just something I casually showed you."

"I see…"

Haruna Amano replied noncommittally, then, as if remembering something, suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, have you guys heard about that thing that's been trending online lately, what was it… oh right, the story of 'Mask'?"

"Cough cough."

Hearing the words "Mask" come from Haruna Amano's mouth, Yui Yuigahama, who was eating noodles, choked.

Seeing her struggling to breathe, Haruna Amano immediately stepped forward and patted her back, then poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Yui Yuigahama, looking like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yui, eat slowly, what's the rush?"

Yui Yuigahama took the water glass and took a sip, her expression complex.

"Okay… I understand."

Yakumo's expression was still indifferent, he just nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I've heard of that name, but it should just be a legend, right?"

"Eh, this isn't just any legend."

Haruna Amano paused, looking mysterious, covered her mouth with her hand, and lowered her voice.

"My younger brother has a playmate who is a student at Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten. That child said that during that incident, he really saw a tall, mysterious person wearing a black mask and dressed strangely."

"Hmm…"

Speaking of which, Haruna Amano looked at Yakumo and smiled.

"That mysterious person's height seems to be about the same as yours."

"Is that so."

Seeing that Yakumo didn't seem interested, Haruna Amano didn't stop there, but muttered to herself.

"Since… there are special people like you and me in Kyoto, do you think that 'Mask' might also be one of our kind?"

"Perhaps."

Yakumo replied noncommittally, looking at Haruna Amano with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Then what do you think of this 'Mask'?"

"Hmm…"

Haruna Amano frowned slightly, propped her chin with one hand, pondered for a while, and then replied.

"If it's really like the rumors say, and the incident of invading the Kyoto Municipal Museum was also done by 'Mask'…"

"Um… but he saved the teachers and students of Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten, that's also a fact."

"Is he… an anti-hero who is both good and evil? In short, he's definitely a hero."

"As for invading the Kyoto Municipal Museum, he should have had his own considerations."

Hearing Haruna Amano's remarks, Yakumo's expression didn't change much, but Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

She thought to herself that they didn't know.

The protagonist of the so-called urban legend was sitting right across from her.

"Mask"?

Yui Yuigahama recalled a sentence that Yakumo had said before.

"The Metropolitan Police Department will give me a code name."

So that's how they come up with code names?

Just then, the lights in the room suddenly started flickering.

"Eek!"

Hearing Yui Yuigahama's exclamation, Haruna Amano, while marveling at how timid she was, also comforted her.

"It's okay, it should just be some electrical wiring being repaired somewhere. This kind of thing happens often lately, it'll be fine in about half an hour."

Looking at Haruna Amano's smiling face, Yui Yuigahama's face had already turned pale.

Haruna didn't know.

But she knew everything very well.

Since Yakumo had said that an evil spirit had its eye on Haruna Amano, then it definitely did.

Originally, Yui Yuigahama wasn't afraid.

However, the lights in the room were flickering!?

What did that mean?

It meant that the evil spirit was already close, and, this time, the evil spirit, like Hachishaku-sama, had a "door" fused within its body, and could affect things in the real world!

Don't let Yui Yuigahama's usual carefree appearance fool you.

In reality, she still hadn't recovered from the psychological trauma left by that incident.

Not every girl has the extraordinary mental fortitude of Miko Yotsuya.

"Hoo…"

A sound like a gentle breeze blowing, yet also somewhat like breathing, sounded outside the window.

"Hiss… why is it suddenly a little cold?"

Haruna Amano rubbed her shoulders, shivered, stood up and walked to the window, preparing to close the half-open window.

But when she pulled back the light-blocking curtains, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Hanging in the sky was a scarlet moon.

Outside was still the railway track, but further away was a rolling, viscous black mist.

"What… what's going on here?"

Before Haruna Amano could take a closer look, suddenly a huge, bloodshot pupil appeared in front of her.

The sudden, immense terror completely froze Haruna Amano's body.

She couldn't even let out a cry of alarm.

This huge, hellish pupil was only a window away from her.

Then, the huge, bloodshot pupil retreated a short distance.

Before Haruna Amano could breathe a sigh of relief, an object like a sharp fingernail, only many times larger than a normal person's, pierced straight towards her standing by the window.

"Haruna!"

Yui Yuigahama exclaimed, wanting to stand up and pull Haruna away, but her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up successfully.

Just at this critical moment.

"Shield."

As soon as Yakumo spoke, a thick black shield that almost reached the ceiling of the house blocked Haruna's path.

"Bang!"

The tip of the fingernail directly broke through the wall and collided with the thick black shield, causing the entire house to shake.

Haruna Amano took a few steps back and collapsed to the ground, so frightened that she was almost in a trance.

"What… what exactly… is that thing…"

"Amano-san."

Hearing Yakumo's voice, Haruna Amano turned her head with difficulty.

She saw him stand up from beside the table and stretch out a long, lazy stretch.

Whether it was an illusion or not.

Haruna Amano felt that Yakumo's expression seemed a bit…

Inexplicably excited?

With a kind of joy of harvest?

"What you saw is the existence that our club is going to fight against."

Yakumo walked forward step by step, stood directly behind the black shield, waved his hand, causing it to dissipate.

He stood there by the window, staring at the huge, bloodshot pupil outside, even with a smile in his voice.

"We call them evil spirits."

"Evil spirits are monsters that harbor a distorted hostility towards humans, and are dominated by slaughter and madness."

"And I…"

Speaking of which, Yakumo's body was covered in a layer of black flames.

In Haruna Amano's unbelievable gaze, the casual clothes on his body gradually transformed into a set of strange black attire.

Moreover, his face was also covered with a pure black mask that only revealed his eyes.

It was like…

That protagonist in the urban legend story, "Mask."

Yakumo stretched out his right hand, took the Onimaru Kunitsuna from the pale ghost hand, looked at the huge, bloodshot pupil outside the window, and said calmly.

"I am their natural enemy."
