Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"So-called social etiquette is just a means to an end."

Nightstar glanced at the guests in the banquet hall, chuckling as he spoke.

"With the current scale and connections of your Snow Corporation, you no longer need to rely on those hypocritical social niceties to curry favor with superiors for benefits. Or, to put it another way, because I dislike those boring, hypocritical pleasantries, Lady Snow caters to my preferences. Isn't that another form of social etiquette? Your mother is indeed a woman with methods."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement, disregarding the gazes of so many people present, and directly took Nightstar's arm, then pursed her lips and smiled.

"Little Snow, sometimes, it's not necessarily about being serious in everything to call it social etiquette. Without social etiquette, as long as you can get along with the people you want to get along with and achieve your goals, the means you use are not important."

Listening to Nightstar and Yang Nai's harmonious words and watching their intimate actions, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly felt another surge of bitterness in her heart, even more painful than when she saw them kissing.

Because at this moment, she realized that in terms of thinking, the degree of understanding between Yang Nai and Nightstar... perhaps she could never reach it in her entire life.

Yang Nai and Nightstar are both the kind of people who usually seem crazy, but are actually very emotionally intelligent. As long as they are interacting with others, they will always control the "atmosphere."

And Yukino Yukinoshita...

She knew very well that she could not control the "atmosphere", nor could she overcome the "atmosphere"... she had even surrendered and admitted defeat.

How could she, in some unspeakable battle, surpass that radiant Yukino Yukinoshita?

She... had no hope of winning at all.

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita's mood became much lower.

Yang Nai noticed this and whispered in Nightstar's ear.

"Oh ho, it seems I've gone too far. I'll take her to talk. Can you wander around on your own first?"

"No problem."

"Good."

Yukino Yukinoshita first tiptoed and lightly kissed Nightstar on the cheek, then emphasized a sentence.

"It's best not to fight, okay?"

Nightstar shrugged and replied with a smile.

"I'm not some kind of fighting maniac, how could I?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed slightly, looking speechless.

"The more you smile, the more uneasy I feel..."

After Yukino Yukinoshita and Yukino Yukinoshita left, Nightstar looked at the symphony orchestra playing there and inexplicably felt a little itchy.

"Speaking of which... it's been a long time since I played the suona, I really feel itchy..."

Just as Nightstar was about to walk over and show off his skills, several younger men, about twenty years old, wearing suits and dressed very formally, walked over and took the initiative to chat with him with a smile.

"Sir, have we met before?"

Nightstar replied casually.

"Oh, I'm not a local from Chiba Prefecture."

"Then may I ask..."

Nightstar waved his hand, looking profound, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Have you heard of... Private Daikoku Academy High School?"

"Private Daikoku Academy High School! ?"

The moment they heard the name of this school, the young men immediately changed into a respectful look.

"You... are you a student there? Or a teacher?"

"Hey, I don't change my name when I act, and I don't change my surname when I sit."

Nightstar smiled and said, word by word.

"Yagami Light, a second-year student at Tokyo Private Daikoku Academy High School, the most outstanding student in the whole school."

"Yagami..."

Those who are invited to participate in this kind of banquet are obviously from the upper social class, the kind that Yukino Yukinoshita hates the most.

The moment they heard the surname Yagami, one of the young men, as if he had thought of something, lowered his voice.

"That Yagami Soichiro from the Kyoto Prefectural Police..."

Nightstar waved his hand carelessly and replied with a smile.

"My dog father's name is not worth mentioning."

Several young men: "..."

They've heard of people calling their sons "dog son", their wives "cheap wife", and their fathers "dog father", but this is the first time they've seen someone call their father that.

Is this guy's speech a bit abstract?

But abstract as it may be, when they heard that the other party was the son of Yagami Soichiro, the legendary commander of the Metropolitan Police Department, the young men couldn't help but become respectful, even lowering their posture a bit, with a flattering attitude.

Yagami Soichiro is not an ordinary leader of the Metropolitan Police Department.

He is the undisputed leader of the Kyoto Prefectural Police, and has a very good relationship with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He can even bypass those red tape and directly form a special action team that only listens to him and does not need to report to any superiors.

Yagami Soichiro is still in the Kyoto Prefectural Police because Kyoto needs him and he wants to contribute to Kyoto.

Otherwise, with his reputation and achievements, he should have entered the Metropolitan Police Department long ago and become a high-level official with the power to make action decisions for the entire Sakura Province police force.

With such power, coupled with the image of a national hero, Yagami Soichiro may not have much money, but his social status is much higher than that of a president of a construction company like Lady Yukinoshita.

"Then you are here today...?"

"Oh, I'm here to perform."

"Perform?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, the young men couldn't help but be stunned.

"Perform what?"

"Just watch."

Nightstar walked straight to the symphony orchestra that was still performing, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling them to stop.

This sudden silence caused the guests in the entire banquet hall to gather their gazes on the position where he was standing, and some people were whispering, with faces full of doubt and incomprehension, wondering who invited this handsome young man in casual clothes.

"Ahem."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nightstar, as if performing a magic trick, took out a mysterious object from his arms that was completely black, as if even the light would be swallowed by it.

"That is..."

Among the guests present, there were quite a few who knew their stuff, especially Mrs. Yukinoshita.

When she clearly saw the item that Yexing took out, her face was already filled with helplessness, but at the same time, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, sighed, and shook her head with a dumbfounded chuckle.

"Seriously... is it starting again?"

Although Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't personally attend, Yang Nai had sent her the performance video from the Sobu High School festival.

Toma Kazusa, Ogiso Setsuna, and Yexing's trio performance was indeed the highlight, but to be honest, what everyone found most interesting was Yexing's display of various musical instruments to stall for time while waiting for Toma Yoko to arrive on the scene.

And among all the instruments, there was only one that Yexing was particularly skilled at, and no matter when he brought it out, it would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

That is...

"Doo doo doo doo doo"

The moment the high-pitched and passionate suona sound rang out in the banquet hall, not only the guests present but even the members of the symphony orchestra who were originally performing were stunned.

Especially the male musician who was just playing the cello, looking at Yexing's wholehearted and unrestrained playing of the suona, he was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens, where did this come from?

What's going on?

The musical style of Sakura Province tends to be euphemistic, or rather, a style inclined towards something called 'Mono no Aware'.

Although the symphony orchestra uses Western instruments, since the performance is taking place in Sakura Province, the music type naturally leans towards this style as well.

But when this world-renowned piece, 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' is played with the suona, especially when Yexing himself is playing it, all the notes in the world seem to lose their meaning at that moment.

Mono no Aware?

Aware my foot, you have to be cheerful for me today.

Originally, the solemn and serious, even somewhat lifeless, banquet hall, after the suona melody of 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' began, all the guests could no longer remain calm, and a sense of... a sense of awe that could not be described in words arose in their hearts.

It was as if they had become the hundred birds, and Yexing was the phoenix.

Logically speaking, at this time, the security personnel on the scene, even if they didn't stop Yexing's performance, should at least go to the organizer of the banquet, Mrs. Yukinoshita, to ask what was going on.

It's just that...

They were already listening so intently that they no longer had the mind to think about their job responsibilities.

In the magnificent banquet hall, a high-pitched, passionate, yet beautiful suona melody resounded...

Isn't this a form of cultural invasion?

... ...

On the other side, on the platform outside the banquet hall.

Yukinoshita Yang Nai leaned against the railing, listening to the faint suona sound coming from inside the hall, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, shaking her head and saying.

"This guy, he never forgets his old profession, no matter what the occasion. I really don't understand, is playing the suona a skill that professional exorcists need to use? Or is it just out of personal interest? What do you think?"

Hearing the question raised by Yukinoshita Yang Nai, Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips, looked at the dim sky outside, and murmured.

"Whatever he does... isn't it all out of personal interest... I don't understand him."

"I don't understand either."

Yukinoshita Yukino clearly didn't believe Yang Nai's words, and just as she was about to say something, Yang Nai took the lead, retracted the smile on her face, revealed a rare serious expression, and said softly.

"In this world, no one can completely understand another person. If the so-called 'genuine article' you are pursuing... is this kind of relationship, then I'm sorry, you will be disappointed, and I don't think that's any 'genuine article'. Not being able to fully understand doesn't mean you can't establish a close relationship."

Yukinoshita Yukino remained noncommittal.

"Do you have close relationships?"

"Of course, I do."

Yukinoshita Yang Nai smiled and said softly.

"Shizuka-chan, Yexing, and you, aren't you all people with whom I have established close relationships and can absolutely trust?"

"I..."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only remain silent.

"Actually..."

Yukinoshita Yang Nai patted Yukino's shoulder and said softly.

"When you can have a relationship that can be called a 'genuine article' has never depended on others, but on yourself. After all... that's what you want to pursue. I didn't believe it at first, but since you've already made me believe it, then take responsibility and prove to me that such a relationship really exists in this world."

"This is a request I'm making to you as Yukinoshita Yang Nai, as your older sister."

Listening to Yukinoshita Yang Nai's words, Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a long time, her eyes revealing a firm look, and then she took a step back, looked directly into Yang Nai's eyes, and said word by word.

"Okay, I understand. In that case..."

"This time, I won't lose to you, Sister."

Faced with Yukinoshita Yukino's declaration of war, Yukinoshita Yang Nai instead revealed a hint of a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait for your challenge."

Yukinoshita Yang Nai was very clear that Yukino would indeed not lose to her.

But in this matter, the other party would not be able to win against her either.

After all, it was long past the PVP version and had already reached the time to fight the BOSS in a team dungeon.

Everyone is trying to build bonds, such as the numerical combination of Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko, the band combination of Toma Kazusa and Ogiso Setsuna for the rest of their lives, the sewing coser combination of Kawasaki Saki and Kitagawa Kaimu, and the soon-to-be-unlocked contrast combination of Menma and Hachishakusama, the contrast combination of Menma and Yurikawa Hana, the contrast between Menma and Anjo Naruko...

Wait a minute... how is Menma a contrast with everyone?

After Yukino joins, you can also unlock the Yukinoshita sisters combination, or form a plain and unremarkable combination with Menma and Shinomiya Kaguya.

Of course, she must first succeed in the challenge.
