Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Since when did a colorful, glowing mark appear on the surface of the dark ghost hand?

This color…

It's exactly the same as the spiritual power color of that Weather God.

Is this the change brought about by eating a god?

Yukino-shita Yang Nai shook her head, not thinking too much about it.

Unlike the members of the Overload Club, she wasn't very interested in so-called exorcism and psychic abilities, nor did she have any thoughts of eliminating the strange and protecting the real world.

"Night Star, the reason I brought you here is to introduce you to someone."

"Who?"

Before Yukino-shita Yang Nai could speak, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

Wearing a kimono and exuding a noble aura, Mrs. Yukino-shita walked slowly to the two of them and said in a calm tone.

"Night Star, we meet again."

"Eh?"

Night Star looked at Mrs. Yukino-shita standing in front of him and suddenly chuckled.

"Mom, I was just joking when I said last time that you and Yang Nai should go on a date with me. Why did you take it seriously? You actually came? Well, it's okay, since you're already here."

Mrs. Yukino-shita was almost amused by these abstract words and said speechlessly.

"You kid, it's been so long, and you haven't changed at all. Who's going on a date with you? I'm here today to talk about serious business."

"Serious business?"

Night Star still maintained his smile.

"Is it a request for exorcism? That's not the procedure. You have to go to Old Deng first. He'll come to me to discuss requests he can't handle. You can't just skip the middleman like this."

Mrs. Yukino-shita's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly.

"It seems you don't want to hide your identity other than being a high school student."

"What's there to hide? Exorcism isn't illegal. Besides, you probably already guessed it, right?"

Just as Night Star said.

Although Mrs. Yukino-shita hadn't asked Yang Nai, and Yang Nai hadn't said anything, Mrs. Yukino-shita had already guessed that Night Star was the one who helped her family solve the exorcism request for that building.

After all, the reward for the exorcism request was paid through the company's accounts and transferred to Oda Notou's card. Even without deliberately investigating, as long as you combine Yang Nai's relationship with Night Star, the Yukino-shita company spending a lot of money on advertising for Sakurajima Mai on the airship, and the intersection between Sakurajima Mai and Night Star, the truth is obvious.

However, Mrs. Yukino-shita didn't come to talk about this today.

She looked directly into Night Star's eyes and slowly said.

"Do you have any plans to go to university after you graduate from high school?"

"Go to university?"

Hearing this question, Night Star smiled nonchalantly.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. After all, there are still more than two years left. Who can say for sure?"

"Then what are your plans for the future? Are you just going to be a so-called exorcist for the rest of your life? As someone who achieved first place in the joint entrance exam and defeated the genius of Shūchiin Academy, your ambition should be more than that, right?"

"Mrs. Yukino-shita, you can say what you want directly. I don't want to actually go on a date with my mother-in-law during my hard-earned leisure time."

"Alright."

Mrs. Yukino-shita nodded slightly.

"Then I'll be blunt."

Yukino-shita Yang Nai maintained her smile. In fact, she had already guessed what her mother wanted to talk about with Night Star today.

And in reality…

According to Night Star's personality, Yang Nai felt that he wouldn't agree.

Mrs. Yukino-shita slowly opened her mouth and said something shocking.

"I hope that if you don't plan to go to university, or after you go to university, you can officially marry my daughter and then take over the Yukino-shita company."

"Me? Take over the Yukino-shita company?"

Faced with Mrs. Yukino-shita's sudden shocking statement, Night Star still maintained his smile, only asking in return.

"Handing over the foundation you've worked so hard to build for many years to an outsider just like that, are you really willing to do that?"

To this, Mrs. Yukino-shita only had one sentence.

"If you marry my daughter, you won't be an outsider. Moreover, your relationship has already developed to this point. From my perspective, although your personality is strange, your talent, appearance, and even family background make you the perfect son-in-law candidate."

"Of course, don't misunderstand my meaning. I don't want you to be a live-in son-in-law, and I don't have any unreasonable demands like the child having to be named Yukino-shita after birth."

"How to handle the company's affairs and how to get along after marriage is a matter between the two of you. I won't interfere."

Hearing this, Night Star suddenly interrupted.

"Two people? Isn't it three people?"

"Three people?"

Mrs. Yukino-shita frowned slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Yang Nai beside her. Looking at the other party's abdomen, she couldn't help but change her expression, her pupils widening in shock.

"Yang Nai, you… you… why didn't you use protection! ?"

Hearing this, Yukino-shita Yang Nai was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained.

"Mother, it's not what you think…"

"Alright, you don't need to say anymore."

Mrs. Yukino-shita sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead.

"Since you're already pregnant, there's nothing that can be done. As long as this guy agrees to marry you after graduating from high school, we can only do it this way."

Looking at the helpless Mrs. Yukino-shita, Night Star suddenly changed the subject.

"Before I give you an answer, I'd like to ask you, why are you willing to hand over the Yukino-shita company, which you painstakingly created with your own hands, to me, an outsider, to control?"

Madam Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, looking at Haruno beside her. In her eyes, usually filled with calmness and composure, a rare hint of tenderness emerged.

“I used to think that as long as I achieved my goals, my daughter would be happy. I even always thought that Haruno liked her current life very much.”

“It wasn’t until you appeared that I realized Haruno had just been pretending.”

“She is truly happy now.”

Yukinoshita Haruno stood silently beside her mother.

When did she start pretending…

She couldn't remember anymore.

For Haruno, pretending to be happy wasn't a difficult thing.

It wasn't because of her good acting skills, nor was it because Madam Yukinoshita's eyesight was poor.

It was because if a person had never felt truly happy in their life, even their own mother wouldn't know the difference between her daughter's pretended happiness and her genuine happiness. Naturally, she wouldn't be able to distinguish between them.

But…

Yukinoshita Haruno lowered her head, secretly glancing at Ye Xing standing there. A rare hint of nervousness appeared in her eyes.

She knew that he probably wouldn't agree.

After all, the reason Haruno was attracted to Ye Xing in the first place was because of the freedom of not being bound by anything. This was something she had always desperately desired but couldn't touch… or rather, didn't dare to touch.

Whether for her mother or her sister Yukino, it was the most correct choice for her to become the heir to the Yukinoshita Company and live a life that she didn't find happy.

Haruno knew that Ye Xing didn't lack money. Even aside from his unattainable powerful abilities, just the fact that he was the top scorer in Sakura Province, defeating all the first-year students of Shuchiin Academy with overwhelming force…

The scale of the Yukinoshita Construction Company was indeed large, considered a wealthy family in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the face of such outstanding talent, it ultimately wasn't something unattainable.

So, would Ye Xing, who always preached the creed of acting without any scruples and according to his own will, agree to her mother's request?

That was impossible…

Just as Haruno was thinking this, she suddenly heard Ye Xing say something that she hadn't expected.

“I can consider it.”

“Eh?”

Hearing this, Haruno couldn't help but be stunned.

Was he just being perfunctory?

No…

In Haruno's impression, Ye Xing always spoke his mind directly. If he didn't want to, he would definitely refuse outright.

Since he said he would consider it, then he really would consider it.

But… why?

“Alright, anyway, you're only a first-year high school student now, so there's no need to rush for an answer.”

Madam Yukinoshita also knew that she couldn't rush Ye Xing, so she just nodded slightly.

Then, she looked at her daughter Haruno with a complex expression.

“Then what about the child in Haruno’s belly… what should we do? Let’s have her give birth, and our Yukinoshita family will raise it first…”

“You misunderstood.”

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Xing waved his hand and explained with a smile.

“Haruno isn’t pregnant.”

“Eh? Not pregnant?”

Madam Yukinoshita was stunned when she heard this, and frowned.

“Then what were you talking about just now, three people?”

“What!?”

To Madam Yukinoshita's surprise, Ye Xing seemed very shocked after she said this. He even had a heartfelt indignation, and righteously and sternly, as if radiating holy light, he sternly accused her.

“Madam Yukinoshita, do you only have Haruno as your daughter!? I know that you may like Haruno more than the willful Yukino, but as your daughter, don’t you consider Yukino at all? Can this really be considered a qualified mother!?”

Hearing these words, Madam Yukinoshita subconsciously revealed a look of guilt and said softly.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

Halfway through speaking, Madam Yukinoshita belatedly realized.

That’s not right.

She hadn’t done anything wrong.

Mainly, Ye Xing’s moral kidnapping came too suddenly, directly catching Madam Yukinoshita off guard, and she subconsciously wanted to apologize.

Thinking carefully…

Yukino wasn’t involved in this matter at all!

“You little brat…”

Madam Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, looked directly into Ye Xing’s eyes, and a hint of killing intent had already emerged in her voice.

“Don’t tell me you want to marry both Haruno and Yukino, these two sisters, at the same time!?”

“Huh?”

Ye Xing first pretended to be stunned for a moment, then righteously and indignantly said.

“Madam Yukinoshita, your thoughts are too dirty! I just think that this matter doesn’t only need to solicit the opinions of me and Haruno. As your daughter, Yukino also has inheritance rights to the Yukinoshita Construction Company, and her consent should also be sought. The three people I was referring to meant this. I didn’t expect you to have such an outrageous idea, it’s really shocking!”

Madam Yukinoshita: “……”

Seeing her mother, who had always been strong and always in control, rendered speechless by Ye Xing’s reversal after reversal, Haruno couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

It has to be you.
