Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

She took the initiative to step forward, her golden eyes revealing a firm resolve.

"To use the weather as a threat and demand human sacrifices, even if they call themselves gods, they are nothing more than evil spirits coveting human souls."

"And as exorcists, you and we share the same mission: to eliminate evil spirits and protect humanity."

"This is not a multiple-choice question of sacrificing an innocent girl to restore the weather to normal."

"Rather than making a choice between the weather and a young girl's life, what we should be doing is addressing the root of the problem."

"That is, the evil spirit known as a god."

Hearing Yotsuya Miko's words, Oda Notou and the Reverend Mother exchanged glances, both their faces showing a mixture of helplessness and gratification.

They were getting old.

But to be able to participate in the actions of the new generation of exorcists in their twilight years…

It was truly exciting.

"If that's the case…"

Oda Notou slowly stood up, a glint of youthful vigor flashing in the eyes of his aged face.

"Yozora, come with me to the back room. I have a memorandum specifically written down, containing information from various parts of Sakura Prefecture. Perhaps we can find a spiritualist who can establish contact with the gods."

"Understood."

After Yozora, the Reverend Mother, and Oda Notou went into the back room together, Sakurajima Mai surveyed the shop's furnishings, looking quite nostalgic.

"It's nice. This place hasn't changed much since the first time I came here."

"Eh? Have you been here before?"

"Yes, but at that time, only Yozora could see me, so we came together. We even went to Wakayama City for a trip afterwards."

"Eh!"

Yui Yuigahama dragged out her voice, puffing out her cheeks.

"So Mai-senpai, you've already gone on a trip alone with him. It's only now that you're saying it. That's so sly."

Sakurajima Mai shook her head with a wry smile.

"And you say I'm sly? Haven't you guys gone out on dates with him?"

Hearing this, Yui Yuigahama recalled that rainy night when she spent the night with Yozora in a small booth at an internet cafe, and couldn't help but blush slightly, whispering.

"Well, there was that…"

Rio Futaba also recalled the scene of setting off fireworks with Yozora by the river, and was similarly shy and hesitant.

"Yeah… me too."

"You all have?"

Yotsuya Miko seemed a little surprised.

"I don't seem to… have."

"You don't?"

Hearing this, Rio Futaba, Yui Yuigahama, and Sakurajima Mai all looked at her with disbelief.

"How is that possible? Didn't you and Yozora meet on the first day of school?"

"If we're talking about going out alone, there have been quite a few times."

Yotsuya Miko muttered as she recalled.

"Let me think. The first time, it seems we went to an alley where a 'Gate' existed, and then we went home separately."

"The second time, it seems we came to this shop… and went to my house, found my father's ghost, talked about some things, and then he went home…"

"The third time, we went to a dilapidated building full of evil spirits, and ate lunch boxes together…"

"Stop!"

Before Yotsuya Miko could continue to recall, Rio Futaba interrupted with a complicated expression.

"Don't say anymore…"

Rio Futaba, Yui Yuigahama, and Sakurajima Mai all looked at Yotsuya Miko with complicated expressions, even with a hint of pity and sympathy.

"Besides exorcism? Haven't you gone out alone with Yozora purely to relax?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her head honestly.

"There really hasn't been. Either we're going to exorcise, or we're preparing for exorcism."

After saying this, Yotsuya Miko noticed the very complicated expressions on the faces of the three girls in front of her, and couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't say anymore."

Sakurajima Mai, who considered herself the lord of the harem, was also filled with emotion at this moment, took the initiative to step forward and patted Miko on the shoulder, earnestly saying.

"We've accumulated a lot of exorcism requests recently. It just so happens that Yui and I need to get used to fighting evil spirits, so we'll leave first."

"Eh? Going to exorcise? Then I'll go too…"

"No."

Rio Futaba also stepped forward, took a deep breath, and whispered to Yotsuya Miko.

"Miko, I'm begging you, go have fun, go have fun with Yozora, leave it to us."

Too tragic.

It was really too tragic.

Even Sakurajima Mai, who had been openly and secretly competing with Yotsuya Miko and Rio Futaba, wanting to defend her position as the lord of the harem, couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Yotsuya Miko, who had known Yozora the longest, was either exorcising or on the way to exorcise when she went out alone with him?

It was really enough to make the listener shed tears and the hearer feel sad.

Let's give this opportunity to Miko this time.

This child is really miserable.

…

On the other side, inside the shop.

"Let the old man take a look…"

Oda Notou muttered to himself, wearing his reading glasses and flipping through a notebook.

"Tsk… these people, it's not certain if they have any real ability…"

There are many people who claim to be spiritualists, but eight or nine out of ten are swindlers.

Even Oda Notou and the Reverend Mother, who only have basic spiritual sight and can only see blurry shadows, unable to see the true faces of evil spirits and monsters, are famous exorcists in a city.

It can be seen how rare true exorcists are in this era.

"You old thing, you're really useless."

The Reverend Mother retorted.

"Taking such a thick notebook, I thought you really knew some powerful figures, but it turns out they're all swindlers."

Oda Notou rolled his eyes.

"If you're so capable, you, the Goddess Mother, why don't you find one?"

"Heh heh, I actually know one."

The Reverend Mother looked smug, looking at Yozora and opening her mouth.

"When I was young, I traveled to many places. I can't say for sure about the others, but there is a family of shrine maidens living in a remote town. I can tell that they can indeed establish contact with the gods through some kind of ritual."

"Remote? Shrine maiden?"

Hearing these two words, Yozora already had a guess in his mind.

"Could it be… the name is Miyamizu?"

"Eh? How did you know? It's indeed Miyamizu, and the location is Itomori Town. If you want to go, I can make a phone call and ask."

Yozora thought, it really is Miyamizu.

Itomori Town, huh…

"For now, no need. When I have time, I'll go there myself."

"Alright."

Seeing Yozora like this, Oda Notou couldn't help but reveal a worried expression and asked.

"But… have you ever thought about how to kill a god? If there really is such a god, that is a powerful being who can control the weather of the entire Sakura Prefecture and has lived for hundreds or thousands of years. It's still too much for humans to want to kill a god…"

"It doesn't matter."

Yozora waved his hand nonchalantly, revealing a kind smile.

"He doesn't count as a god."

"And I am not a pure human either."

"I can only say…"

"He better not let me catch him."

"If I catch him, he's going to suffer."

…

After leaving the inner room, Yozora saw only Yotsuya Miko standing there, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Where are Mai and the others?"

"They… had something to do and left first."

"Oh, I see. Aren't you going?"

"I… I…"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko hesitating and stammering, Yozora saw through her thoughts at a glance and smiled.

"Then, if you're free, how about a date?"

"A, a, a date… S-Sure!"

Yozora's physical abilities far exceeded ordinary people, and his hearing was even better.

When he was in the inner room, he heard the conversation of the others outside.

"Since that's the case, what should we do?"

Yotsuya Miko walked out with Yozora, muttering to herself.

"Yeah… what should we do…"

Just as Yotsuya Miko was thinking, she suddenly saw a large standee placed in front of a movie theater, with a very terrifying picture on it.

"Eh? A horror movie?"

Anticipation appeared in Yotsuya Miko's golden eyes as she looked at Yozora beside her, slightly shyly.

"Um… I've never watched a horror movie in a movie theater before, how about… we watch one together?"

Yozora rubbed Yotsuya Miko's hair, smiling and nodding.

"No problem."

The reason why Yotsuya Miko doesn't watch horror movies is very simple.

She has spiritual sight.

If she watches a horror movie, it's easy for her to see an evil spirit that exists in reality, but think it's from the screen, revealing a flaw.

Even if she's with Sakurajima Mai and the others, if she reveals a flaw during the movie, she will be attacked by evil spirits in public, which is too dangerous.

But if she's with Yozora, there's no need to worry about that.

Ordinary evil spirits don't dare to approach within a few kilometers of him.
