Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Huh? McDonald’s?”

Amano Hina paused, looking slightly hesitant.

“It’s not that I can’t, but the rain outside is a bit heavy… If it gets even heavier later…”

Just as Amano Hina was muttering to herself, her younger brother, Amano Nagi, suddenly poked his head out from behind her, first greeting Yozora, who was standing at the door, with a smile.

“You must be Yozora-san, right? I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Hina’s younger brother, Amano Nagi.”

“Yeah, hello.”

Just as Amano Hina was feeling a little puzzled, wondering why Yozora was greeting him so normally, considering his personality, she heard him follow up with:

“Little brother-in-law, want to go out for McDonald’s together?”

Amano Hina’s pretty face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but lightly punch Yozora’s shoulder, muttering softly.

“What little brother-in-law… Don’t say things like that, he might actually believe it…”

Amano Nagi looked as if he understood everything, after all, even though he was just an elementary school student, he could be considered a veteran in the game of love.

“I think it’s more like you want to believe it yourself, sis, right?”

“You little…”

Before Amano Hina could say anything, Amano Nagi quickly grabbed an umbrella from beside the door, handed it to Yozora, and yawned.

“Sis, I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed now. It’s raining so hard outside, it’s not convenient for you to come back, so just stay over at Yozora-san’s place tonight. See you tomorrow, bye-bye.”

As he spoke, Amano Nagi urged Amano Hina to put on her shoes, half-pushing her out the door.

“Eh, no…”

Amano Hina originally wanted to say that she didn’t have her keys.

But then she thought…

This kid, he’s definitely doing it on purpose, right!?

He wasn’t planning on letting her come home tonight.

But…

Amano Hina stole a glance at Yozora, who was holding a black umbrella and standing in front of her.

It seems like… not going home… isn’t so bad either.

Anyway… it’s not like they haven’t slept together before.

“Then, so now…”

After the trip to Itomori Town, after so long, she finally had the chance to be alone with Yozora again. Amano Hina suddenly felt a little nervous, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum:

“Are we… going to… go to McDonald’s?”

“Why McDonald’s? Let’s order takeout.”

Yozora’s words were completely different from before, he directly took Amano Hina’s hand and chuckled.

“Hurry up and book a room, I want to pull twintails.”

Amano Hina’s pretty face flushed red upon hearing this.

Pull twintails?

What does that mean?

Pull her twintails?

Does Yozora like this kind of childish behavior, like a kid?

It’s just short twintails, what’s so good about pulling them?

Also… book a room!?

“W-wait… wait a moment…”

“Wait for what? Let’s go.”

Yozora didn’t give Amano Hina a chance to refuse, directly pulling her hand and walking forward.

…

Twenty minutes later, in a hotel room.

Amano Hina sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the soft mattress, her face so red it was almost steaming.

She listened to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom as Yozora showered, and her whole body became restless.

Amano Hina was so nervous that she could barely breathe.

In this room…

There’s only one bed.

Are they going to sleep together again? Isn’t that a bit… not good?

The moment this thought appeared in Amano Hina’s mind, she recalled that when she heard they were only booking one room at the front desk, she didn’t refuse.

Or even further back, when Yozora was pulling her, she didn’t resist.

To be reserved now…

Isn’t it a little too late?

However…

Amano Hina pulled up her sleeve, looking at the iridescent, lake-like translucent wrist…

Perhaps this last day like this… isn’t so bad either.

“Amano-san.”

Yozora walked out of the bathroom, his hair still dripping wet.

Amano Hina frowned slightly when she saw this, stood up, walked into the bathroom, and took out a towel.

“Sit down.”

After Yozora sat on the edge of the bed, Amano Hina used the towel in her hand to wipe his wet hair, sighing helplessly.

“You’re such a pain, you have to dry your hair after taking a shower, otherwise you’ll easily catch a cold.”

“You have to take care of your body, you and everyone else, otherwise what will happen if you encounter evil spirits while you’re sick?”

“Also, be more low-key when you take action. School is starting in half a month, and you won’t have as much free time to move around every day like you do now.”

Speaking of this, Amano Hina suddenly fell silent, and the action of wiping Yozora’s hair with the towel stopped at this moment.

After more than ten seconds, Yozora finally spoke in an unusually calm tone.

“You’re going to disappear?”

“Yeah…”

Amano Hina nodded, although a few complex emotions appeared in her eyes, she still tried her best to maintain a smile on her face.

“As expected, I can’t hide it from you.”

A week ago, in the process of closing that white door, Amano Hina used the power of that Weather God.

But, it wasn’t without any cost.

The condition for Amano Hina to obtain spiritual power was to accelerate her own disappearance.

Only a little bit left.

If there was a progress bar, then the current Amano Hina was only one percent away from completely disappearing into the divine realm.

This is also why she hasn’t taken on any Sunshine Girl requests during this time.

Amano Hina knew that as long as she used her ability one more time…

She would completely disappear.

But even if she didn’t do anything, her body was slowly changing.

Disappearance is a destined ending.

At most, there are only two or three days left.

Amano Hina put down the towel in her hand, took out a bank card from her pocket, handed it to Yozora, and smiled gently.

“This is the money I’ve accumulated during this time from exorcism requests and Sunshine Girl requests. It should be more than enough to cover my younger brother’s tuition and living expenses. After I disappear, I’ll leave him in your care.”

Yozora didn’t take the bank card from Amano Hina’s hand, but simply replied.

“Didn’t you say you were going to kill that Weather God?”

“Oh, that…”

Amano Hina’s smile was still sweet, but it contained a few helpless and bitter elements.

“How about… let’s just forget about it this time? It’s too dangerous to let Miko, Rio, and Mai-senpai confront a god head-on. I don’t want to let others take such a risk for me.”

On the way to Itomori Town, Amano Hina’s original determination had wavered again.

This isn’t her fault.

After all, the incident that affected the entire Kyoto City a week ago was too shocking.

The power outage, the cutting off of mobile phone communications, and the deaths of a large number of innocent people, let alone those.

Even, there was that mysterious door that could trigger earthquakes throughout the city.

Amano Hina could feel that the world was already on the verge of losing control.

And the only ones maintaining Kyoto City, preventing it from turning into a ghost town, were the few people in the Supernatural Society who knew the truth, as well as Yozora, Futaba Rio, and Yotsuya Miko, who were spiritual ability users.

In other words.

The members of the Supernatural Society are the only hope for saving Kyoto City.

Amano Hina had consulted ancient books and also consulted Suga Natsumi about the legends of the Sunshine Girl.

And in the legend stories, that Weather God usually doesn’t interfere with the real world in any way other than demanding human sacrifices.

That is to say…

In fact, if it weren’t for Amano Hina, the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society, which aimed to fight against the bizarre and protect Kyoto, wouldn’t have had to fight that Weather God to the death.

The members of the Supernatural Society are all very strong. Even in the face of such sudden events and thousands of evil spirits, they were able to solve them smoothly in the end.

But after all…

That Weather God is a powerful being that can affect the weather of the entire Sakura Province.

Seeing Yozora silent, Amano Hina thought that he felt unhappy because she had gone back on her word, and quickly explained.

“What I mean isn’t that He shouldn’t be eliminated, but to wait until there are more members, Futaba and the others… and you, become stronger, and have absolute certainty, before thinking of a way to solve it. This is the safest way.”

“What’s the price?”

Hearing Yozora’s question, Amano Hina forced a smile, lowered her eyes, and said softly.

“The price is… actually, there’s no price, losing one person… can buy more time, that’s a good deal, don’t you think?”

After saying that, without waiting for Yozora to answer, Amano Hina stood up and turned off the lights in the room, as if afraid of his response, and then took Yozora’s hand.

“Let’s… sleep together tonight.”

“Okay.”

After the two lay down on the bed, there were no special actions, they just stayed close to each other, not knowing whether they were asleep or not, just quietly spent this night.

…

The next morning.

“Yozora…”

Hearing the call in his ear, Yozora opened his eyes.

He saw Amano Hina standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, looking at the gloomy and rainy sky outside, in a trance, as if talking to herself, and whispered.

“During this time, because of the Sunshine Girl’s requests, I saw many people, because the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, showing that kind of smile.”
