Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Although she was old, her personality was very simple, with zero dating experience, and having had little contact with men, Shizuka Hiratsuka was instantly caught by the 'playing hard to get' tactic of the god of harems.

However, immediately following that, a look of hesitation appeared between her brows, and she said softly with uncertainty.

“But… … I am your teacher… … ”

The next sentence from Yae Hoshino made Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been struggling for a long time, suddenly see the light.

“That’s not true… … ”

Yae Hoshino looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka lying beside him, amused by her innocent words.

“I'm not going to be a high school student forever, and you won't be a high school teacher forever. Once I graduate, what teacher-student relationship will there be?”

At that moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly understood.

That's right.

The fact that she and Yae Hoshino have a teacher-student relationship now doesn't mean that they will always have a teacher-student relationship from now on.

Thinking about it carefully, the first year of high school has already passed, and there are only two years left until he graduates.

Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't her student once too? Now hasn't she become a good friend?

Besides, after Yae Hoshino's class graduates, she might resign. After all, as a teacher, being able to witness such excellent students gathering together and helping each other grow is already considered fulfilling her initial goal of becoming a teacher.

“I… … I’ll confirm one more time… … ”

Shizuka Hiratsuka carefully confirmed again, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

“If I reach the age of thirty… … and still haven’t found a boyfriend… … will you marry me?”

“Of course.”

“That’s great… … oh, no, that’s good, at least I don’t have to worry about this problem.”

On the surface, Shizuka Hiratsuka pretended to be nonchalant, acting as if she didn't really want Yae Hoshino to marry her, but in reality, she had secretly vowed in her heart.

In the less than three years leading up to her thirtieth birthday, she must persevere, not to mention dating… …

Starting today, she, Shizuka Hiratsuka, will never speak to any man again!

Wait a minute, that vow seems a bit exaggerated. After all, as a teacher, she still needs to communicate with students and the school from time to time.

In short, that's roughly the idea.

The problem that had been bothering Shizuka Hiratsuka was finally resolved, and she felt content and cheerful. After relaxing, she suddenly felt a strong wave of sleepiness wash over her. Before closing her eyes to sleep, she specifically looked at Yae Hoshino, who was leaning by the window reading a light novel, and muttered softly with a slightly flushed face.

“You… … you mustn't do anything strange to me while I'm asleep, after all, I'm still your teacher… … you have to control yourself.”

“You might as well say that to yourself, you're the one who needs to control yourself.”

“Tch.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka closed her eyes, first turning her back to Yae Hoshino, then turning around to face him, muttering softly.

“You… … pat me to sleep.”

“Huh, you have so many requests, are you treating yourself like a little girl?”

Although Yae Hoshino complained like that, he still held the light novel in one hand and gently patted Shizuka Hiratsuka's back with the other.

“Alright, go to sleep.”

“Okay, good.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka's willful request was fulfilled, and a smile appeared on her face. Unable to resist the invasion of sleepiness, she fell into a dream.

After she fell asleep, Yae Hoshino put down the light novel in his hand, went to the hotel corridor, took out his phone, and dialed Kaguya Shinomiya's private number.

After the call connected, Kaguya Shinomiya's slightly aged voice, which was obviously lacking in energy and carried a hint of inexplicable fear, came through.

“Yae Hoshino… … Mr.”

Yae Hoshino smiled lightly upon hearing this.

“Eh? Why did it become this kind of address? Head of the Shinomiya family, there's no need to be so polite, right?”

Kaguya Shinomiya on the other end of the phone coughed lightly, his expression very complicated.

How could he not be afraid, how could he not be a little more polite?

At that time, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was in the hospital room recuperating, although he did not witness the illusion that appeared in the sky with his own eyes, the content reported by his subordinates was enough to shock him.

The magnificent palace, the legendary Izanami, the armor that could be attached to the body, the terrifying scene like millions of demons gathered together, the two sides who could continue fighting as if nothing had happened even after having their hearts torn out?

This is too outrageous, right!?

The key is that Kaguya Shinomiya vaguely guessed that Yae Hoshino was "Kamen."

Under such circumstances, he couldn't help but be a little cautious when talking to him. After all, this was a truly powerful ability user who exceeded human imagination and could even defeat monsters with the name of gods.

“Head of the Shinomiya family, there's no need to be so cautious, we are partners.”

Yae Hoshino said this first, then smiled and said.

“Head of the Shinomiya family, you have helped me a lot recently. According to the agreement, it's time for me to fulfill a part of my promise. Next week, let Kaguya Shinomiya… … um, and her personal maid Ai Hayasaka, come to a place called Hina Domi Island.”

“Hina Domi Island?”

Hearing this place name, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately searched for it on his phone. Looking at the information about Hina Domi Island that popped up, he couldn't help but frown and hesitate.

“This… … this place is too remote, it's simply isolated from the world. You also know that Kaguya is currently the target of public criticism. Not to mention those jackals who want to use her identity to participate in the internal strife of the Shinomiya Group, there are also people within the group who harbor malicious intentions. Just bringing a personal maid… … no, even if you bring a lot of bodyguards, coming to such a remote place isolated from the world, once the news leaks, it will bring a lot of trouble.”

“What I want is trouble.”

After Yae Hoshino said this, he continued to speak lightly.

“Head of the Shinomiya family, regarding my abilities, I can't reveal them to you right now. After all, I'm not sure if I can completely trust you, but you only need to know that I can use this opportunity to deal with these troubles on Hina Domi Island, and I may also be able to find clues to those who intend to harm Kaguya Shinomiya, that's enough.”

“As for whether or not to agree, that's the question you need to consider. In short, since I have already proposed this idea, it counts as fulfilling the promise you and I made at the beginning.”

“Head of the Shinomiya family, I need you to give me an answer now.”

Hearing these words, Kaguya Shinomiya began to ponder silently in his heart.

He believed that with Yae Hoshino… … no, with the strength of "Kamen", eliminating the pawns sent by those who harbored malicious intentions would definitely not be a problem.

But to also find clues to the mastermind behind the scenes?

That's a bit unusual.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya coughed lightly twice, his tone still a little uncertain.

“Um… … but what if something unexpected happens to Kaguya… … ”

Yae Hoshino didn't think Kaguya Shinomiya was too long-winded.

On the contrary, Shigu Yan'an was able to sit in such a position and develop the Shigu Consortium to its current state, he couldn't possibly be indecisive or soft-hearted.

The other party should be able to understand that rather than letting those with ulterior motives behind their backs come out to make trouble after his death as the head of the Shigu family, it would be better to take advantage of his being alive to remove those obstacles on Huiye's future path.

Even understanding this principle, Shigu Yan'an still hesitated at this moment, precisely because as a father, he was worried about his daughter's personal safety.

"No accidents will happen."

Ye Xing said calmly.

"As long as Shigu classmate can successfully arrive at Ridu Island, I will be responsible for her safety next."

"So that's how it is… …"

Shigu Yan'an sighed deeply, finally making up his mind at this moment.

"I understand, I will start arranging it immediately."

"Don't rush."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

The next second, Shigu Yan'an heard a sentence that caught him completely off guard.

"I'll ask Shigu classmate and Hayasaka classmate first to see if they are willing to come; if they are not, then forget it."

At this moment, Shigu Yan'an on the other end of the phone seemed to suddenly understand why his daughter Huiye, who had a cold temperament, would treat this kid differently even though she didn't seem to know Ye Xing's true identity.

He originally thought it was because Ye Xing had defeated Huiye in the joint examination and won first place, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The real reason is that, unlike most people, he doesn't think that Shigu Huiye is just the eldest daughter of the Shigu family and that nothing else matters; instead, compared to the so-called Shigu surname, Ye Xing can truly be said to have an intersection with "Huiye" and cares about her as a person.

Even after reaching a consensus with himself, the head of the Shigu family and her father, Ye Xing would still ask Shigu Huiye for her opinion, without the attitude of arranging the other party's future; he even considered the opinion of Hayasaka Ai, who serves as the Shigu family's maid.

Shigu Yan'an realized that this boy, the same age as his daughter, did indeed possess a different view than most ordinary people.

"Okay, I understand. I'll text you after confirming."

After hanging up the phone with Shigu Yan'an, Ye Xing dialed Shigu Huiye's phone number.

Meanwhile, inside the luxurious, castle-like mansion in Kyoto City, Shigu Huiye, who had been concentrating on reading a book, was slightly stunned when her cell phone suddenly rang.

Immediately afterward, she ran over, her heart filled with nervousness and trepidation, but she picked up the phone with a calm and indifferent voice.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Yo, you're putting on an act with me?"

Hearing Shigu Huiye's words, Ye Xing chuckled and teased.

"Stop acting. How many people have you given your personal cell phone number to? Are you really asking who this is? Don't you know who it is?"

Exposed by Ye Xing in one sentence, even with Shigu Huiye's mental fortitude, she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

She thought to herself that it was fortunate it wasn't a video call, so the other party couldn't see her expression. She quickly raised her hand and stroked her cheek, trying to calm herself down instantly through this kind of mental suggestion.

But the result was… …the speed of her heartbeat didn't slow down; on the contrary, it was getting faster and faster.

Shigu Huiye had long discovered that it wasn't that her self-honed mental suggestion skills were failing, but that whenever her emotions fluctuated, or rather, when the object that caused her emotional fluctuations was Ye Xing, this method would not work.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"Oh, it's classmate Ye Xing… …"

Because the mental suggestion failed, Shigu Huiye could no longer maintain that indifferent and calm tone without any emotion, and her voice inevitably carried a hint of pique.

"Just so you know, after you left last time, my symptoms have disappeared. Of course, if you cared, you might have called, rather than not contacting me even once in so long."

"Aren't I contacting you now? Classmate Shigu, could it be that you want me to call you more often?"

Hearing this question, Shigu Huiye really wanted to give an affirmative answer, but the personality she had developed since childhood made it impossible for her to soften her words. She lightly snorted.

"There's no need; I'm usually very busy too."

"Busy with what? Busy guarding the throne of second place?"

"You… …"

Shigu Huiye first frowned slightly, then shook her head and said softly.

"Forget it. Although I still feel very ashamed now, just as you said, life is not only meaningful when it is successful. This feeling of frustration and regret can also become my motivation and experience. So, what's the matter with this call?"

"Our club members are going to have special training on an island. Do you want to come along? Also, ask Hayasaka Ai, who's next to you, to come too."

"Island… …"

A look of anticipation first appeared in Shigu Huiye's eyes, but then dimmed, and she shook her head.

"I can't go… …As the eldest daughter of the Shigu family, I can't be allowed to go to that kind of place… …Even if I go, it's impossible to only bring Hayasaka Ai; there will definitely be many bodyguards following. Thank you for your invitation, but I won't disturb your club's internal gathering."

Ye Xing replied with a smile.

"Don't worry. I've already discussed it with your father. Now it just depends on you and Hayasaka Ai's personal wishes. Come if you want to; if you don't want to, then forget it."

"This… …"

A very beautiful picture appeared in Shigu Huiye's mind.

Island, beach, sea, swimsuit, Ye Xing.

Let's not talk about why the last one appeared for now, but just imagining that kind of free and happy atmosphere made Shigu Huiye, who had been living in a birdcage since she was a child, couldn't help but want to agree.

"Then… …okay, I'll go ask Hayasaka Ai for her opinion later, and then I'll give you an answer."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He invited Shigu Huiye to Ridu Island not only to fulfill his promise to Shigu Yan'an, but also for an important reason.

Of course, it wasn't to see Huiye, who is a '対A', in a swimsuit, although it wouldn't hurt to see it.

The main reason is that both Shigu Huiye and Hayasaka Ai have received training in self-defense, and Hayasaka Ai is also very good at tracking and counter-reconnaissance.
