Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

So-called high-popularity collaborations are generally like this.

… …

And this day, in the morning, at Yozora's house.

"Yukino."

Touma Kazusa, who slept until noon before getting up, rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, seeing Yukinoshita Yukino sitting alone on the sofa, and asked expressionlessly.

"Where are Yozora and Makinohara Shouko?"

Yukino and Touma had lived together for a while at the very beginning of summer vacation, before the Sunny Doll Killer was eliminated.

This time, they stayed together for seven days, and Yukinoshita Yukino also became an internal member, going with Yozora every day to participate in exorcism operations. The atmosphere between them was not as incompatible as it was at the beginning.

Of course, it was limited to normal conversation. Going out to eat or shopping alone was not very realistic.

"They've both gone out."

"Where did they go?"

"Makinohara-san took Menma and Hachishaku with her to go shopping outside. Although I can't see it, I heard that Hachishaku's combat power is very strong. Yozora agreed, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Touma Kazusa sat on the sofa, keeping a body's distance from Yukinoshita Yukino, peeled a piece of milk candy from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and said lightly.

"I don't care where she goes, the main thing is Yozora."

"He went to do an interview."

"Oh."

Hearing Touma Kazusa's short reply, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly. After a long silence, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Don't you want to ask who he went to be interviewed with, and who the interviewer is?"

"I don't care."

Touma Kazusa shook her head, her expression as calm as ever.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed slightly, looking at Touma Kazusa squatting on the sofa, her eyes looking a little complicated.

"To be honest, I really don't understand. You were willing to stand in front of him when that truck crashed over, but now you're acting like this… I know about the emotion called love, but it doesn't seem to be like you."

Hearing the word 'love', a hint of blush appeared on Touma Kazusa's fair face, and she flatly denied.

"We're just friends."

Yukinoshita Yukino has always been straightforward, and this time was no exception.

"You can only fool yourself with that, I'm afraid no one else will believe it, right?"

"I…"

Hearing this, Touma Kazusa lowered her head, hugging her legs with her arms, her whole body curled up on the sofa, and a deep look of loneliness appeared in her delicate eyes.

"Someone like me, who is good for nothing, is happy just to be able to stay by his side… To give everything for him, that's all I have…"

"You're too inferior."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

This was the first time she knew that Touma Kazusa's heart was so inferior.

Yukino finally understood why the other party's expression was so obvious, but she still refused to admit her feelings for Yozora.

The strong inferiority complex made Touma Kazusa's attitude towards Yozora even a little humble.

But…

Even if the love relationship hasn't been confirmed, she can give her life for another person without asking for anything in return…

Touma Kazusa's feelings for Yozora completely fit Yukinoshita Yukino's definition of so-called genuineness.

The key is, she always felt something was wrong.

Is genuineness… just like this?

"Touma… no, Kazusa."

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up from the sofa, walked to Touma Kazusa, and slowly opened her mouth.

"If you're willing, I can help you."

Touma Kazusa raised her head and murmured.

"Help me… with what?"

Yukinoshita Yukino tucked the long hair beside her ear and slowly opened her mouth.

"Speaking of which, you had an intersection with that guy on the first day of school, but now that half of the summer vacation has passed, there's still no progress. If you continue to stay where you are with this idea, you will eventually drift further and further away from him one day."

"If that's the case…"

Touma Kazusa murmured to herself, lightly biting her silver teeth, and couldn't help clenching her hands.

"I… I'm not reconciled."

Yukinoshita Yukino knew that the other party would have this reaction, and said indifferently.

"Then, let me help you. The first request that the Over-Quality Club's Yukinoshita Yukino will undertake and complete independently is to help the daughter of a world-class pianist untie her long-standing knot."

Touma Kazusa pursed her lips and did not directly agree, but responded with action.

She took out a piece of milk candy from her pocket and gently placed it in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand.

"If you eat my candy, then you must help me to the end."

"No problem."

… …

At the same time, inside Suga's editorial office.

"Yozora-kun."

Suga Natsumi, dressed in a camisole and hot pants, opened the door. When she saw Yozora standing outside, she first greeted him with a smile, and then glanced at his side.

"Eh, didn't that girl named Kitagawa Marin come with you? I invited her too."

Yozora replied nonchalantly.

"She has a cold today and can't go out."

"Oh, it doesn't matter."

Suga Natsumi led Yozora in, opened her mouth with a smile.

"Anyway, the only person I wanted to interview was you. Inviting Kitagawa-san to come with you was just because I was afraid you would be nervous being alone with me."

Yozora sat on the sofa and replied with a chuckle.

"You're overthinking it. You should be afraid that you would be nervous being alone with me."

"Don't underestimate me. I'm a professional writer."

Suga Natsumi replied with a smile, sat opposite Yozora, and couldn't wait to say.

"Then, shall we start now?"

"Sure."

"Then the first question…"

Suga Natsumi leaned her body slightly forward, propping her chin with one hand, her eyes fixed on Yozora's face, and slowly opened her mouth.

"Yozora-kun, as someone who has cosplayed as 'Phantom', what is your inner view of 'Phantom'?"

Chapter 212 Suga Natsumi's deal, Kitagawa Marin who needs to be taken care of

"'Phantom'…"

Hearing Suga Natsumi's question, Yozora didn't think too much and gave his answer directly.

"He's not a hero, just someone who acts entirely according to his own will, unfettered by anything… Whether he's called a hero or a criminal, it doesn't matter, it doesn't change his essence."

"Oh?"

Suga Natsumi didn't expect Yozora to have such an evaluation of that 'Phantom'.

She originally thought that since the other party had cosplayed as 'Phantom', he should be a fan and would think that the ghostly black-clothed man was a hero protecting the safety of Kyoto City, like most people.

Acting entirely according to his own will? Unfettered by anything?

Suga Natsumi heard such an evaluation for the first time, and she was even more curious, staring at Yozora with interest, and chuckled.

"You don't think he's a hero?"

"What I think, what other people think, it doesn't matter."

Yozora shook his head and said softly.

"The public's opinion cannot change the essence of 'Phantom'. People expect a hero to be born, so they regard him as a hero. As a media writer, instead of discussing the rationality and legality of 'Phantom's' behavior itself, you should explore why people regard him as a hero, and the real reason behind this social phenomenon."

Suga Natsumi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then picked up the cold drink on the table, her lips with lipstick touched the straw, and said with a smile.

"As a first-year high school student, what you're saying is really a bit profound."

After saying this, Suga Natsumi paused for a moment before continuing.

"In other words, you can't understand 'Phantom's' behavior?"

"Far from it."

Yozora waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Precisely because I don't regard him as a hero, I can face all his behaviors squarely. After all, longing is the emotion farthest from understanding."

"Longing is the emotion farthest from understanding…"

Suga Natsumi repeated softly, then repeated it again, showing a thoughtful look in her eyes, and finally smiled sweetly, raising the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"Can this sentence be recorded in the special report?"

"No problem."

After getting Yozora's consent to record the conversation between the two just now in the notebook, Suga Natsumi looked at Yozora with interest and smiled.

"Then, Yozora-kun, tell me about yourself."

Yozora chuckled and asked back.

"For the special interview?"

"Hmm…"

Suga Natsumi looked meaningful, her white and tender index finger with manicured nails lightly tapped on the table, and smiled.

"Let's just say half of it is for the special interview, and half of it is to satisfy my personal curiosity."

"My own affairs…"

Yozora leaned back on the sofa, with a relaxed smile on his face, and spread his hands.

"Actually, there's nothing to talk about about me."

"Come on… there must be something…"

Just as Suga Natsumi looked disbelieving and was about to finish her sentence, she saw Yozora suddenly stand up, looking aggressive, scaring her body back.

"You… what are you going to do?"

Yozora walked to Suga Natsumi, looked down at the other party, and said solemnly.

"There's really nothing to talk about about me, just the strongest exorcist in history, the number one butter shooter in Kyoto, the chosen one with unruly qualifications, a professional player in the Shura field, a destroyer of party strife and stock speculation, the god of harem, Soubu High's B king, the first in the Sakura Province joint entrance examination, the nemesis of the Private Shuchiin Academy, the founder of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society…"

"Well, it seems like there are so many titles."

Yozora, like reciting a menu, recited his long list of titles without even taking a breath, and smiled at Suga Natsumi, who looked dumbfounded.

"Apart from these, I'm just an ordinary high school student, not worth mentioning."

Suga Natsumi opened her lips slightly, already dumbfounded.

What are these things?

Exorcist? Butter shooter? The chosen one with unruly qualifications?
