Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

A Hiyori-bō, dressed like a sunny doll, appeared behind Amano Hina.

The moment it appeared, a bright, yet not dazzling, warm light bloomed from the Hiyori-bō's body.

Under the illumination of this light, Anjō Naruko saw the originally gloomy sky transform back into a clear, sunny expanse within a matter of seconds.

"All done!"

Hearing Amano Hina's voice and seeing her effortless demeanor, as if changing the weather over such a large area was as easy as flipping her hand, Anjō Naruko was dumbfounded.

Is this... is this really something a human can do!?

This is simply... a miracle!

Chapter 257: Speedrunning the Evil God of the Mountain Dungeon, Do You Want to Form a Band Too?

Seeing Anjō Naruko's shocked face, staring straight at her, Amano Hina smiled bashfully.

"Anjō-san, why are you staring at me?"

"It's not... this... this..."

Anjō Naruko couldn't even speak clearly. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the shock in her heart, and tried her best to organize her words, saying in disbelief.

"You... changed the weather?"

"Yep."

Amano Hina smiled playfully, as if it were nothing.

"I'm a 100% success rate sunshine girl, you know."

Although the Weather God has been eliminated, Amano Hina still possesses the ability to change the weather within a certain range at will.

After all, her Soul True Body, Hiyori-bō, had devoured a portion of that Weather God's body, and coupled with her own experience as a Sunshine Girl for more than half a year, she was already skilled at manipulating weather changes.

Turning the weather clear within the range of a mere large mountain was absolutely no difficulty for Amano Hina now.

"But this mountain forest does seem a bit scary when you come in at night."

"Is it just that you're too timid?"

"Hmph, I'm very brave, I even dared to confront a god."

"Now you're putting on a show again? I wonder who was sitting there crying their eyes out back then."

"You! You're absolutely not allowed to tell Futaba and the others about this! You're the only one who saw such an embarrassing moment of mine."

...

Watching Amano Hina and Yozora walking ahead, chatting and laughing as if they were on a spring outing in this mountain, Anjō Naruko didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at this moment.

When she went to Sōbu High School on Monday, she asked the students about it and learned that Yozora had founded a club called the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society.

The key is...

This is too supernatural, isn't it!?

Changing the weather?

What the hell?

If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, Anjō Naruko would have found it hard to believe that such a thing could exist in the world, that such a person could exist.

This reminded her of the game she used to play with Yuri-kawa Hana and Menma when they were little.

When battling in it, they needed to use the ability to change the weather to give their pet Pokémon an advantage.

Commonly known as, terrain battles.

"Hehe, Anaru, Hina-nee is very amazing!"

Menma said with a smile.

Of course, Anjō Naruko couldn't hear it. Amano Hina was also a little embarrassed by this kind of praise and didn't translate it.

Only, Amano Hina suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.

Menma and the members of the Overlimit Society all call her 'Onee-chan' (older sister) and call Yozora 'Onii-chan' (older brother).

But when communicating with Anjō Naruko, they use a peer-to-peer way of addressing.

And then, Anjō Naruko and Amano Hina also use a peer-to-peer way of addressing each other, because they are not yet very familiar, using the surname plus the word 'san' (Mr./Ms.).

Is... is this a bit of a mess?

...

The four of them... no, three of them, plus a loli little ghost, spent more than half an hour to reach that area halfway up the mountain.

"This is..."

As they got closer and closer to the main body of that evil mountain god, both Anjō Naruko and Menma couldn't help but feel a strange fear in their hearts, but also a desire to be called by something.

Compared to Menma beside her, the fear in Anjō Naruko's heart was even deeper. Fragments of memories from that day five years ago were gradually being recalled as she got closer and closer to the missing part of her soul.

"I... I..."

Anjō Naruko's legs were trembling, and her face had already changed as she looked at the forest path leading ahead.

She squatted on the ground, hugging her head with her hands, her voice trembling.

"I... I don't want to go any further..."

Some blurry fragments of that day five years ago appeared in Anjō Naruko's mind.

A black monster as tall as a mountain, composed of rotten flesh, and twisted human limbs...

Just a few blurry images made Anjō Naruko recall the fear she felt when facing the monster that day.

"Anaru..."

Menma looked at Anjō Naruko, who was squatting on the ground, her whole body trembling, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

"Stand up."

To Amano Hina's surprise, Menma, who was always well-behaved and cute, and a bit airheaded, now had a serious look on her face, placing her hand on Anjō Naruko's shoulder and slowly saying.

"Anaru, stand up."

"Menma...?"

Hearing the faint voice in her ear, Anjou Naruko couldn't help but be stunned.

She slowly raised her head, and what appeared before her was a faint, white, illusory figure.

And this white, illusory figure gradually became clearer, until finally, it formed a little girl with a white dress, silver hair, fair skin, and a cute face.

"Menma..."

Anjou Naruko could hardly believe what she was seeing was real, and couldn't help but tremble as she stretched out her right hand, as if wanting to touch the Menma before her, yet also as if afraid that it was all just an illusion, freezing in the air, not daring to continue forward.

Menma grasped Anjou Naruko's hand, smiling and gently placing the other's palm against her cheek, sweetly smiling as she said.

"It's me, Anaru."

"Menma... Menma!"

Anjou Naruko's mind went blank, and after she reacted, she immediately leaned forward, embracing the petite Honma Meiko in her arms, two lines of uncontrollable tears overflowing from her eyes, sobbing as she said.

"Menma... it really is you... I... I..."

"Okay, no need to say anymore."

Menma gently stroked the top of Anjou Naruko's head, although she was still just a child herself, she was now comforting her very gently.

"You're not a child anymore, you can't cry so easily anymore, after all, you're already a high school student now."

"Menma... I... I'm sorry, I abandoned you that day... I alone..."

"Not alone."

Menma still had a gentle smile on her face, squatting down and cupping Anjou Naruko's cheeks, softly saying.

"You saved Chiriko, it's not abandoning Menma to run away alone, you're my best friend, I'll never blame you."

Seeing this touching scene of childhood friends separated by life and death finally reunited, Amano Hina felt her eyes were getting a little wet.

She looked at Yozora beside her and said softly.

"Fortunately, I have your domain expansion ability, otherwise, if it were just me conveying the message, it wouldn't be as good as Menma herself talking to Anjou-san."

What Amano Hina didn't expect was that Yozora actually shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with me, I didn't expand my domain."

"Eh?"

Amano Hina's expression changed upon hearing this, as if she suddenly realized something.

"Could it be..."

"Yes."

Yozora looked at the dark forest around them, seeing the shadows lurking closer, and said indifferently.

"The evil spirits have chosen to attack proactively."

As a spirit, Menma also noticed the surrounding anomalies, and immediately bit her lip, saying to Anjou Naruko.

"Anaru, stand up, now is not the time to be afraid!"

"Yeah..."

Anjou Naruko wiped away her tears, slowly stood up, enduring the fear in her heart, gritting her teeth and saying.

"Although I can't do anything, but as bait, the role has been completed, right?"

Anjou Naruko looked at Amano Hina standing there, took a deep breath, and said very seriously.

"Amano-san, don't worry about me, eliminate these evil spirits! Don't be distracted by protecting my safety!"

"Eh? Anjou-san, you seem to have misunderstood."

Amano Hina took a few steps back, protecting Anjou Naruko and Menma beside her.

And in this mountain god's evil spirit domain, Anjou Naruko, who was just an ordinary person, could also clearly see that the other party's beautiful soul's true form, dressed like a suggestive sunny doll, had also come to their side, with no intention of attacking proactively.

Amano Hina pointed to Yozora standing there, facing the shadows in the forest alone, and said with a smile.

"You wouldn't think I'm stronger than him, would you? I'm just support, Yozora is the front-line combat power."

"Ah?"

As soon as these words came out, they brought great shock to Anjou Naruko again.

No...

What kind of club is your Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society anyway?

An esper with such a powerful ability to change the weather in an area is actually just support?

Is he being humble?

"Although Anjou-san, I am very pleased that you can make the resolution to die and participate in this operation."

Yozora first said this, and then Anjou Naruko saw a monster suddenly appear behind him, with a height of six or seven meters, half black and half white, with an extremely smooth neck cut, and several colorful marks on the surface of its body.

"But..."

Yozora turned his head, looked at Anjou Naruko, and smiled.

"You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

"A mere mountain god evil spirit is just a speedrun dungeon for me."

"Go."

As soon as Yozora's words came out, Anjou Naruko saw the black and white headless monster, supporting itself with its two arms alternately, moving in an extremely strange and chilling manner, like a large truck crashing into a pigsty, rampaging into the dark forest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Seeing the black and white headless monster raise its huge ghost hand, like swatting ants to death, swatting a withered and thin wraith to death, and then like picking up a chick, grabbing a fleeing wraith and squeezing it into a ball of black smoke, Anjou Naruko was completely dumbfounded.

Is this exorcism?
