Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Nanfang Ritsu didn't commit, nodding slightly. After entering the shop and inquiring about what had happened with Granny Kyobo and Oda Noto, learning about the strange questions posed by the young man and the three bizarre tarot cards he produced, she immediately called Yozora.

Even though the latter was on a school trip, such an important matter still needed to be reported.

When the call connected, Nanfang Ritsu could already hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the faint laughter of girls coming from the other end.

"Are you busy?"

"I wouldn't say busy."

Yozora's lazy, smiling voice came through.

"Just frolicking like mandarin ducks."

Nanfang Ritsu adjusted her glasses and said calmly.

"Be serious. What mandarin ducks? Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, my bad."

Yozora said this first, then continued.

"Not mandarin ducks. Let me count... It seems like mandarin-mandarin-mandarin-mandarin-mandarin-mandarin-mandarin... many mandarin ducks omitted, all frolicking together."

Nanfang Ritsu: "..."

She really didn't know how to respond to that, so she skipped the topic and directly told Yozora on the other end of the phone what had just happened and the strangeness of the young man.

"A young man wearing glasses, with a refined and handsome appearance, dressed in a black suit?"

Hearing Nanfang Ritsu's description, Yozora simply nodded noncommittally.

"Yeah, I got it. I'll contact Ryuzaki and have him investigate the nearby surveillance footage."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After hanging up the phone, Amane Suzuha looked at Nanfang Ritsu's calm, expressionless face and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ritsu, didn't you say you wanted to ask about methods for spirit ability users to improve their physical fitness, to enhance your combat power? Why didn't you just now..."

"There's no need."

Before Amane Suzuha could finish, Nanfang Ritsu waved her hand and said in a flat tone.

"The fact that he didn't tell me only proves that I haven't completely gained his and their trust yet. Of course, if it were me, I wouldn't reveal such important information to someone who just joined and can't be fully trusted."

"Ultimately, on Nichito Island, they have all helped me, allowing me to realize the most important wish in my life."

"Now, asking for more would only make people think I'm greedy. If I can get that information in the future and improve my combat power, that would be great, but even if I don't, it doesn't matter. Even if I'm just a fragile ordinary human, I will absolutely not allow tragedies like what happened to Hatano and Ryunosuke to happen in this world again."

Hearing Nanfang Ritsu's words, a hint of inexplicable sadness and disappointment flashed in Amane Suzuha's eyes, and she murmured.

"If... if only I had such a firm goal as you..."

"Goals are something you have to find yourself, and so is the meaning of existence."

Nanfang Ritsu looked directly into Amane Suzuha's eyes, placed her hand on the other's shoulder, and slowly said.

"The past is all in the past. How the future world line will develop is in the hands of all of us, including you."

"Before you find a goal that belongs to you, keep striving forward with finding a goal as your goal."

...

Meanwhile, after receiving the email sent by Yozora, L quickly pulled up the surveillance cameras around Oda Noto's shop in the commercial district.

He is still a special consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department, with the highest level of access to all databases.

After a while, that might not be the case anymore.

Of course, with L's connections, it would be easy to find a hacker to crack the internal data of the Sakura Province Police Department, but after all, it would add an extra step. In a life-or-death crisis, those extra few minutes could lead to unbearable consequences.

"Hmm? This is..."

When L clearly saw the surveillance footage, he couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously made the habit of biting his nails when thinking.

Judging from the images displayed in the surveillance footage, when Nanfang Ritsu and Amane Suzuha encountered the young man, and a few minutes before that, when the young man entered the shop...

There was no one at the shop entrance at all.

"Unable to 'observe'? An evil spirit...?"

The moment this thought arose, L immediately rejected it himself.

It's true that he's just an ordinary person and can't "observe" evil spirits, but Amane Suzuha, who was present at the time, was also just an ordinary person, and although Oda Noto and Granny Kyobo possessed spiritual power, they hadn't reached the point where they could directly see the true form of evil spirits, but those three people had clearly seen the young man's appearance.

Nanfang Ritsu also said that the other party shouldn't be an evil spirit, otherwise he wouldn't be able to resist the instinct of evil spirits to kill spirit ability users.

"Could it be... not unable to 'observe'... but unable to 'record'?"

For a moment, L thought of several possibilities, and he didn't forget the strange question the young man asked.

"Asking who he is... excluding the possibility of mental abnormality... asking a question that he clearly already knows the answer to... the purpose is not divination, but to test the limits of the Goddess Mother's ability...?"

A look of excitement appeared in L's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such a tricky problem."

...

On the other side, on the beach outside the villa.

Looking at the members of the Hyperdimension Neptune group wearing swimsuits, playing and frolicking together, accompanied by laughter, and from time to time, there were limited-level panty shots, Yozora just sighed heavily, shook his head, and had a look of heartache.

"Alas, how can I safely indulge in such pleasure? It's really heartbreaking, heartbreaking!"

Hearing Yozora's impassioned words, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was lying on another long chair, refrained from playing and frolicking with the girls due to her status as a teacher, couldn't help but curl her lips and retorted in annoyance.

"You guy, you're still pretending now, aren't you? Who was it who said just now that if you want to play on the beach, you must wear a two-piece swimsuit, and that school swimsuits and one-piece swimsuits with skirts are all unacceptable? What was that term called... right, the degree of exposure must be high enough, otherwise, don't wear it at all. Who said that?"

"Hey, Shizuka-chan, look at what you're saying."

Yozora had a righteous look, taking it for granted.

"Wasn't I just trying to promote honesty and strengthen bonds between members?"

"Heh."

Touma Kazusa, who had just walked over, happened to hear Ye Xing's words. She narrowed her delicate eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing within.

"Then may I ask, esteemed Ye Xing-sama, who have you decided to be honest with tonight?"

Faced with Touma Kazusa's sarcastic words, Ye Xing simply smiled, reaching out his hand and stating bluntly.

"Bring the牌子 over and flip it."

Ye Xing believed in one principle.

As long as I don't understand your sarcasm and give a reply or take an action that breaks your composure, then you're just being sarcastic to yourself.

"You…"

Hearing this, Touma Kazusa bit her silver teeth in anger. She originally wanted to reach out and pinch Ye Xing's arm, but the moment her fingertips touched him, before she could even start, she already felt sorry for him. In the end, she just rubbed him symbolically twice before putting her hand down.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and then looked at the girls playing and frolicking on the distant beach, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

Welcome to this dating simulation game. Your goal is to successfully snatch the male lead's time and spend a sweet date with him.

A girl with exceptional piano talent, a model-like figure, hidden giant breasts, and the loyal puppy attribute of an ice beauty.

And some cute dumpling-headed girl, a natural airhead who suppresses everything with her twin peaks and dominates the ages, a tall girl with long light blue hair and a beauty mark, a dexterous and virtuous sunny girl, a venomous-tongued but especially cute when shy heiress of a construction company, a descendant of a shrine maiden family who can dance traditional dances and even feed mouth-to-mouth chewed sake, a hot girl who is good at cosplay and can change a new skin every day, a gentle girl with a pitiful temperament and fair skin, an innocent spiritual girl, the strongest songstress of Soubu High School with a heavenly voice, a beautiful girl who, although suffering from hearing impairment, will be attracted at first sight, and a tsundere red-haired physics genius.

Okay, now go and defeat your opponents.

How can I possibly win!!!

Hiratsuka Shizuka was already dizzy and didn't know how she could possibly win.

"Just kidding."

Seeing Touma Kazusa's reaction, Ye Xing gently grasped her fair hand and said with a smile.

"I have other things to do tonight, so you guys rest first."

"Other things? Hmm?"

Touma Kazusa immediately looked wary upon hearing this.

"You wouldn't…be going to hit on some pretty girl you saw on the street, would you? What type is it, an energetic black-skinned athletic type? I can also get a tan."

"What are you thinking?"

Ye Xing pinched Touma Kazusa's cheek, looking at her jealous appearance, and patiently explained.

"I want to go to the last known locations of several missing people to take a look. Evil spirits are most active at night, aren't they? I don't need to sleep now, and to avoid affecting your condition, I plan to act alone."

"Then I'm going too."

Touma Kazusa gave a non-negotiable reason.

"My day and night are reversed, and I can't sleep anyway. Instead of lying in bed bored, I might as well go with you."

"Okay, fine."

Seeing Ye Xing agree, Touma Kazusa smiled happily and immediately kissed him on the cheek, ignoring Hiratsuka Shizuka's resentful gaze.

And similarly, it wasn't just Hiratsuka Shizuka who was full of resentment.

"Yukino Yukino, look what I found!"

Yurigahama Hina held a white shell in her hand and ran excitedly to Yukinoshita Yukino, showing it to her with an excited face.

"Look, a seashell! It's so pretty, I can make a necklace for you later."

"Yeah…"

Yukinoshita Yukino responded absentmindedly.

"This shell is so big…ah, no, this shell is so white…"

Although Yukinoshita Yukino felt it was very rude, she couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Yurigahama Hina's chest, her mind still replaying the violent shaking that occurred when the other girl ran over to her.

Then, she looked down at herself and had only one thought in her mind.

Why is there such a huge difference between people!

Are Yurigahama Hina and I really the same species?

Chapter 482: Ocean and Rainwater, Touma's Decisive Outfit

Yukinoshita Yukino only regretted at this moment why she had listened to Yuigahama Yui's nonsense, saying that since they were coming to the beach and it was just them, she should take this rare opportunity to show off her figure in front of Ye Xing.

What if my breasts are small?

Yukino, you have a well-proportioned figure, fair skin, and a perky butt. Isn't that considered a good figure!?

It must be said that Yuigahama Yui's brainwashing is indeed effective, especially on Yukinoshita Yukino, who is naturally restrained by her.

As a result, when she really got to the beach, Yukinoshita Yukino realized something important.

Well-proportioned figure, fair skin, perky butt…

Which member of the Super-Quantity Club isn't like that!?

With so many graceful and beautiful girls gathered together, and all wearing revealing two-piece swimsuits, the disadvantage of my small breasts becomes even more prominent, okay!?

Just then, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly noticed that at some point, Ye Xing, who was originally lying on a beach chair in the distance, and Touma Kazusa beside him, had disappeared.

"This…"

Noticing Yukinoshita Yukino's expression, Yuigahama Yui, who was originally playing with Menma, immediately came over.

"What's wrong, Yukino? Are you not having fun?"

"It's not that I'm not having fun, it's just…"
