Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Yui Yuigahama, on the other hand, opened her mouth slightly, stunned for a while before勉强挤出一个笑容, and waved at Hachishaku.

"So, um, yahallo?"

"Yahallo."

To Yui Yuigahama's surprise, Hachishaku-sama actually waved back and responded with a smile.

Taking a closer look.

Hachishaku was quite beautiful, with a great figure, delicate skin, and a dignified and lovely appearance, with a hint of shyness of a girl who hadn't seen many people.

It's just that this height…

It's a bit too exaggerated.

Why is she even taller than the last time I saw her?

"Are you thinking about why Hachishaku is taller than last time?"

Nightstar saw through Yui Yuigahama's thoughts and chuckled.

"See, this is the career development you can achieve after joining the company. What do you think, Hachi?"

"Boss is right."

Seeing Hachishaku's respectful appearance, Yui Yuigahama was speechless.

Only a few days had passed.

Has Hachishaku been trained into such a docile state by Nightstar?

Yui Yuigahama could hardly believe that the person standing in front of her was the disheveled, fierce, and sharp-toothed female ghost from before.

Just looking at this scene, one would really think it was a company where employees and bosses help each other, work together, and have a bright future.

The reason why Hachishaku's body size had increased again was very simple.

She had devoured many evil spirits during this period, and her power had naturally increased.

Although as an evil spirit, Hachishaku's foundation was not very good, belonging to the kind of mediocre demon that didn't dare to kill people openly and could only use conspiracies and tricks.

But Nightstar was an excellent exorcist who knew how to employ people well.

Although Hachi wasn't very good now, she was still worth cultivating after fusing with the "Gate."

After she devoured other evil spirits and her own power increased, she could better control the "Gate" within her body and also unlock new abilities.

That was, whether it was during the Twilight Hour or the Human Hour, as long as Hachishaku used her own power to envelop them, she could allow ordinary humans, like Nightstar and Miko Yotsuya, to travel between the two worlds through the "Gate" during both time periods.

Of course, the cooldown for opening the "Gate" at any location was still seven days.

And Hachishaku's current limit was that she could only use her power to envelop three ordinary people at most, and any more than that would risk losing control.

Being able to evolve to this extent today was inseparable from the Overload Company and the boss Nightstar's careful cultivation.

This was the company and employees achieving a win-win situation.

Exploitation? What exploitation?

It's not exploitation if you get paid!

Nightstar took out his phone and glanced at the time displayed on the screen.

Good, it's almost 5:30.

It's time.

"Alright."

Nightstar stood up and waved his hand.

"The Mysterious Expedition Team, let's go!"

Yui Yuigahama muttered: "Aren't we called the Supernatural Investigation Team?"

Miko Yotsuya also replied in a low voice: "Who cares, let him call it whatever he wants."

After saying this, Miko Yotsuya suddenly froze for a moment, incredulous.

"Wait, when you say 'let's go'… you don't mean we're all going to the Kyoto City in the Reverse World, right?"

"That's exactly right."

Nightstar nodded and added.

"You two remember to send an email to your families saying you're staying at a friend's house tonight."

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya nodded in response without hesitation.

"Okay."

Although the current Hachishaku can allow ordinary people to travel back and forth through the "Gate" during both time periods, if the time exceeds 7:00, which is the final limit of the Twilight Hour, then even spirit power users like Nightstar and Miko Yotsuya can only wait until the Human Hour at 5:00 in the morning to return to the real world.

It wasn't easy for everyone to gather and go to the Reverse World together.

It's impossible to come back after not even being there for two hours, right?

It's still necessary to tell the family if you're not coming home at night.

Seeing that Nightstar only asked Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya to call their families, but didn't take out his own phone, Rio Futaba couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Are your parents also very busy with work like me, and you live alone?"

"No, I don't have parents."

"Ah, that… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, it's okay, there's also a six-legged creature in Gotham City that goes into an alley and a two-legged creature comes out, so it's nothing for me."

Rio Futaba definitely couldn't understand such a dark joke, and even if she could, it would probably be difficult to laugh.

After all, Nightstar's situation was similar to Batman's, except for the lack of a sexy cleft chin.

"As for Mai Sakurajima…"

Nightstar looked at Mai Sakurajima, who was leaning against the window, looking dazed and completely unable to keep up with the conversation.

"After dinner, you can go back, or you can stay in the clubroom for a while longer if you want, it's up to you."

He had discovered something these past two days.

You know, this puberty syndrome of Mai Sakurajima's is really a bit magical.

Not to mention Rio Futaba and Yui Yuigahama, who were ordinary people, or Miko Yotsuya, who was a spirit power user.

Even Hachishaku and Hyakume, who were spirits, couldn't perceive Mai Sakurajima's existence.

This was really perplexing.

Is science the best way to dispel superstition?

The key is that Rio Futaba's quantum mechanics and real quantum mechanics are not the same thing.

Just taking out Mai Sakurajima's matter could make an episode of Approaching Science.

Why did the former national idol beauty girl become an imperceptible invisible person?

Is it the decline of morality or the rule of law…

No, that doesn't seem to be the opening line of Approaching Science, it's something about a sow in the village being pregnant.

In short, Mai Sakurajima's situation was very special.

Hachishaku couldn't "perceive" her existence, so she naturally couldn't activate the power of the "Gate" to bring her to the Reverse World.

Part-time worker Mai Sakurajima.

Duty: Guard the door of the Overload Company's clubroom.

Salary: Three meals a day.

One day has not been realized yet, only three meals at this stage.

"Alright, let's begin."

"Eh, eh! ?"

Before Rio Futaba could react, Hachishaku activated the power of the "Gate" and pulled her, Yui Yuigahama, Miko Yotsuya, and Nightstar into the Reverse World.

For Nightstar, Hachishaku, who was fused with the "Gate", was a fast passage to travel between the two worlds.

But Hachishaku's true special feature was.

She could allow ordinary people like Yui Yuigahama and Rio Futaba, who could not "perceive" the existence of another world, to enter the Reverse World.

After a brief dizziness of less than a second, what appeared in front of Rio Futaba was a scene that subverted her worldview.

In the sky, there was a crescent moon hanging in a dark red color.

The place where she was standing still looked like Soubu High School, still inside the Overload Company's clubroom.

But the problem was that it was dark outside the window.

In the distance, she could see constantly rolling viscous black mist, with faint and distorted things flashing from time to time, making people feel chills all over just by looking at it.

"Where… is this place?"

Hearing Rio Futaba's question, Nightstar chose to give a direct and straightforward answer.

"Here is the Demon King's messenger's base camp, the other end of the Demon King's army supply point."

Rio Futaba walked to the window, repeatedly confirming the scene in front of her, her eyes under her glasses revealing an incredible look, muttering to herself.

"So, you're really not a chuunibyou, another world… actually really exists."

Relying on her extraordinary rational mind, Rio Futaba accepted the reality in front of her in just a few seconds.

Moreover, she was also comparing the various information provided by Nightstar with the scene in front of her in her mind.

"Are you alright? Futaba-san?"

Hearing Yui Yuigahama's question, Rio Futaba turned around, nodded slightly, and then looked at Nightstar, her tone calm and natural.

"Regarding the matter of the protagonist awakening their abilities, I should have told you that 'cognition' is the most important prerequisite."

"That's right."

Nightstar shrugged and smiled.

"Then, that condition has been met."

Without the slightest hesitation, Rio Futaba directly understood and continued.

"That is to say, as long as we achieve a change in 'cognition', transforming our thoughts about the 'enemy' from invincible and only able to be escaped, to a target that can be 'eliminated', we should be able to awaken."

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya looked at each other, both of their eyes revealing a look of doubt.

Did you understand?

I didn't, what about you?

I didn't understand either.

Two clear streams of stupidity collided, forming an ocean of confusion and question marks.

Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya were not actually stupid, it was just that Nightstar and Rio Futaba's thinking speed was too fast, and normal people couldn't keep up.

"You're already considering awakening your abilities just after coming in?"

Rio Futaba did not deny it, but she did not admit it either, and just said vaguely.

"I just want to consider every possibility. Besides, isn't providing ideas the reason why you initially invited me to join the club?"

"That's right."

Just then, everyone suddenly heard a musical sound that was full of resentment, sadness, loneliness, and many other meanings intertwined, faintly coming from outside the clubroom window.

"Oh? Interesting."

Compared to the three female members whose faces changed after hearing this sad music, Nightstar revealed a look of interest.

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing after coming to the Reverse World so many times.

May I ask, what is it that a player wants to be most satisfied with when entering an RPG game world?

That's right, it's curiosity!
