Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Night Star's achievement of first place not only signifies his victory over Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, and many other examinees from Shuchiin Private Academy.

It also signifies that he, with his own strength, has bridged, or even surpassed, the gap in teaching resources between Sobu High and Shuchiin Private Academy.

This first place in the joint exam…

…is even more valuable than first place in the Sakura Prefecture Joint Exam.

“Twenty-first place, Sobu High, Class 1-A, Yukino Yukinoshita.”

Finally hearing the name of Sobu High again, and it being her own Class 1-A, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but smile.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita, as the person involved, showed no signs of joy.

She finally realized now.

She truly has no way to compete with Night Star in academics.

In Sobu High, the difference between them was just first and second place.

But this joint exam revealed the truth.

Night Star is still the strongest.

While she can only rank outside the top twenty.

…

Before getting on the bus, Kaguya Shinomiya, as the student representative of Shuchiin, walked up to Night Star, her tone revealing obvious emotional fluctuations for the first time.

“Next time, I will definitely win.”

Night Star smiled and replied with words that almost made Kaguya Shinomiya lose it.

“You should go home and sleep early. You can dream about anything you want, just don't fantasize here.”

The middle-aged female teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to Night Star, her face no longer showing hostility, but a slight sigh.

“I originally thought that your choice not to attend Shuchiin was your loss.”

“But now it seems, it is Shuchiin's loss.”

Night Star smiled and replied.

“It's not really a loss. I just don't like Shuchiin as a place, but the reasons I don't like it are also the reasons you can become Shuchiin.”

“Mm.”

The middle-aged female teacher nodded slightly, looking towards Shizuka Hiratsuka.

“Teacher Hiratsuka, if there's a chance next time, let's exchange ideas.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka replied with a smile.

“Alright, then we'll be leaving first.”

…

With the joint exam ending with Night Star taking first place, the first semester also came to a close.

Sobu High still had to maintain normal classes until after school on Wednesday, after which the summer vacation would officially begin.

After school, on the rooftop of Sobu High.

“The first semester is finally over,”

Yui Yuigahama stretched out a long stretch, looking like she was finally freed.

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and said faintly.

“School will be on holiday the day after tomorrow, but we can't be idle at all during these two months of vacation. There are many things that need to be dealt with.”

During every meeting of the Overload Club, Rio Futaba is responsible for proposing plans, and this time is no exception.

“First of all, the first thing, how should we deal with that little girl named Menma?”

“Deal with…”

Mai Sakurajima frowned slightly, hesitating.

“Although she is not human… but she has never harmed humans, we…”

Yotsugi Ononoki said thoughtfully.

“Elimination is definitely not an option. Menma is a very special existence. The best way is to let her fulfill her regrets and pass on like my father, right?”

Mai Sakurajima nodded and smiled.

“In that case, before that, let her stay at my house first. It just so happens that I live alone.”

Night Star raised a question from the side.

“Why can't she just stay at my house?”

Noticing the strange look in the eyes of the girls, as if they were suspecting something, he rolled his eyes.

“Don't be too outrageous.”

“Hmph.”

Rio Futaba said meaningfully.

“Menma is still a child. If she lives in your house, seeing some strange things and hearing some strange noises will damage her young mind, so it's decided, Menma will live at Senior Mai's house.”

Following that, Rio Futaba spoke again.

“The second thing is also the most important one.”

She took out her phone and displayed the news report photo on the screen in front of everyone.

“This is…”

Seeing the girl's corpse, swaying in the wind like a teru teru bozu, the members of the Overload Club all showed expressions of compassion.

“Teru Teru Bozu Killer, this is the code name given by the Metropolitan Police Department.”

Rio Futaba put away her phone and slowly spoke.

“Based on my and Night Star's previous actions, we can know the danger level of the Reverse Side, and the power of the evil spirits within, most likely originates from the negative impressions and thoughts of the people of Kyoto City.”

“Like those we eliminated last time, evil spirits dressed as doctors and nurses, and that monster whose upper body was covered in tentacles and fused with humans, are probably the strange occurrences formed by the negative impressions of the citizens of Kyoto City towards hospitals.”

“A serial killer like the Teru Teru Bozu Killer, who has committed multiple cases and brought fear to the citizens of Kyoto City, will inevitably have a certain impact on the Reverse Side.”

“In order to prevent even more powerful evil spirits from being produced in the Reverse Side and causing destruction by coming to the real world through the 'gates', I believe we must take action.”

Mai Sakurajima and the others nodded in agreement after hearing these words.

“That's right.”

However, next, everyone's gaze focused on Night Star.

The latter leaned against the railing of the rooftop, looking up at the sky that was already covered with dark clouds and about to rain, and laughed softly.

“What are you all looking at me for?”

“Letting you make the decision.”

“My decision…”

Night Star said faintly.

“Although I am not a hero, being so unscrupulous in Kyoto City is indeed a bit disrespectful to me, agreed.”

Night Star looked at the members in front of him, the smile on his face disappearing, his voice carrying a strange excitement.

“I am also very curious about what the soul of such an evil person tastes like.”

Chapter 155 Police Department's Foreign Aid "Mask", Autopsy Report of the Deceased at the Scene

Seeing Night Star agree, Rio Futaba couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, a few smiles appearing in her eyes.

This guy, although he says he can't stand others being unscrupulous in Kyoto City…

In reality, it's to protect the safety of the citizens, right?

What a tsundere anti-hero.

“Then it's settled.”

After making the decision to hunt down the Teru Teru Bozu Killer, Night Star began to arrange the specific plan.

“Futaba, Ononoki, the two of you, go and check if you can find the specific death scenes of the deceased.”

“If you can find them, then bring Mai and Dango to pay a visit, be friendly, of course, the focus is not on questioning the living, just use the excuse of expressing condolences.”

Mai Sakurajima nodded upon hearing this, understanding.

“You mean, see if the spirits of the deceased are still lingering at the scene, and use this to find information and clues about the identity of the murderer?”

“That's right.”

Following that, Night Star looked at Hina Amano.

“As for you… just pay attention to your own safety. After all, this murderer turns the corpses of the deceased into teru teru bozu, proving that he may have some kind of strong obsession with the weather. Your reputation as a 100% Sunshine Girl has already spread, and it's hard to say whether you will become his target.”

Hina Amano nodded obediently.

“Mm, I understand.”

Finally, Night Star made a summary.

“In short, there's no need to worry too much. You have signed a contract with me. As long as it's not an obstacle like the real world and the Reverse Side, the contract can exert its power at critical moments and teleport me to your side.”

“That's it, dismiss.”

…

When she returned to the activity room to get something, Marin Kitagawa suddenly stopped Mai Sakurajima.

“Senior Mai”

Marin Kitagawa looked very mysterious, secretly handing a small bag to Mai Sakurajima.

“Here, it's done, the pajamas.”

“It's done?”

Mai Sakurajima quickly took the bag upon hearing this, secretly glancing inside.

Marin Kitagawa patted her shoulder, saying with a smile.

“Don't worry, Senior Mai, it's all made according to your request, the accessories are also done, everything is complete.”

Mai Sakurajima nodded, looking very grateful.

“Thank you, Marin.”

“Eh, it's nothing, it's nothing”

Marin Kitagawa waved her hand casually, then curiously asked.

“By the way, why didn't you just go to Saki? You could have directly told her what kind of thing you wanted.”

“Kawasaki-san ah…”

Mai Sakurajima muttered to herself, her eyes looking a little complicated.

“It's better not to tell her.”

Mai Sakurajima is a very perceptive person.

She has noticed that recently, when she is in the activity room, the number of times Saki Kawasaki steals glances at Night Star has become more and more frequent.

Something's up here.

Something's not right.

Of course, Mai Sakurajima couldn't possibly let Saki Kawasaki, a suspected competitor, know that she had prepared such an important secret weapon.

As for Marin Kitagawa…

Looking at Marin Kitagawa, who had a puzzled look on her face, her big eyes with colored contact lenses blinking, completely unaware of what was going on, Mai Sakurajima just smiled and said.

“In short, thank you very much.”

After saying goodbye to Marin Kitagawa, Mai Sakurajima dialed Night Star's phone.
