Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"How could we possibly exploit her?"

Yexing shook his head, looking at the puzzled members, and said with a smile.

"Firstly, from a rational perspective, Koga Tomoe's ability has serious flaws. After all, it's an illness she can't control. If she is killed or loses consciousness, can she still reset the world line?"

"Secondly, I know you all can't accept such a thing. Our consistent rule is that any decision must be approved by all members. Even if you agree to this under my request, you'll feel uncomfortable in your hearts. The cohesion of the club is very important."

"The ability of soul materialization is a reflection of the user's true heart. If we ourselves don't agree with what we're doing, how can we use this power? Simply put, it's all about being genuine."

"And from an emotional perspective..."

"Exploiting such a cute young girl is something this朕 (I, the Emperor) cannot bear."

Hearing the last sentence, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but sigh and retort.

"What if it were a man?"

"A man?"

Yexing smiled slightly and uttered a classic line.

"Then I would exploit him ruthlessly."

...

Twenty minutes later, inside a cafe in Okinawa.

Koga Tomoe was wearing hot pants and a sleeveless shirt. Although her figure was relatively flat, her fair skin, coupled with her cute face, still qualified her as a genuine beautiful girl.

She held a cup of coffee on the table with both hands, wanting to take a sip, but then dismissed the idea because the coffee tasted too bitter.

As for why she would ask Yexing to meet at a cafe and order a cup of coffee when she clearly didn't like coffee?

Koga Tomoe's thoughts were quite peculiar. She felt that if she did this, she would appear more mature, right?

In that case, wouldn't she have more in common with the older Yexing-senpai?

Just as Koga Tomoe was thinking this, she suddenly heard the sound of the cafe door being pushed open.

When she looked up, she saw Yexing, dressed in black casual wear, walking in. She couldn't help but show a happy expression and was about to stand up to greet him, but she saw the person next to him: a beautiful girl with long black hair, a delicate face that could be considered a violation, a tall and slender figure, and a dignified appearance, exuding the aura of a model student.

The moment Koga Tomoe saw her, the smile on her face froze.

"Oh, you're here."

Yexing and Yukinoshita Yukino walked to the booth where Koga Tomoe was sitting, and without saying much, simply sat down.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced around. Because it was a booth, there were only two sides to sit on. Just as she was hesitating, Yexing took the initiative to move inward.

Yukinoshita Yukino noticed this subtle movement.

In the past, she would definitely have chosen to sit next to Koga Tomoe, who was also a girl.

But now...

"Cough cough."

Yukinoshita Yukino coughed lightly twice, adjusted the skirt she was wearing, and then sat next to Yexing.

At the same time, her heartbeat also quickened a little.

"He took the initiative to make room for me... This guy is still very considerate... Does he want me to sit next to him...?"

Yukinoshita Yukino considered herself to understand Yexing's personality. She knew that if this guy didn't want someone to sit next to him, he would never deliberately make room, and might even lie down on the booth to show his aversion.

That being said...

He doesn't dislike me?

Koga Tomoe glanced at the silent Yukinoshita Yukino. The noble aura emanating from her made her feel uneasy, and a slight sense of jealousy arose in her heart. She tentatively asked.

"Um... Senpai, this person is...?"

"Oh, this is Yukinoshita Yukino, one of our club members."

"So it's Yukinoshita Yukino-senpai..."

Koga Tomoe had naturally heard of Yukinoshita Yukino's name. After all, in the last joint exam, she surpassed all the students of Private Toyosaki Academy and most of the Shūchiin Academy students, ranking ninth overall, making her the second-ranked academic genius of Sobu High, second only to the Great Demon King.

She pursed her lips and forced a smile at Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Senpai... Hello."

Koga Tomoe thought to herself, Yexing-senpai brought such a beautiful girl with outstanding academic ability, beautiful appearance, and a tall figure to meet her, which means that he... doesn't have any thoughts about her in that regard, right?

How can I compare to Yukinoshita Yukino-senpai? What can I do better than her?

"Koga-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know that Koga Tomoe's inner thoughts were so complicated. She simply raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said softly.

"Yexing should have already told you about the adolescent syndrome, right?"

"Yes... Senpai told me about it... But..."

Koga Tomoe looked cautious and tentatively asked.

"But, why did I develop such a condition...?"

"That's the problem we want to solve now. Of course, before that, we need to answer your doubts."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the hot black tea on the table and took a sip, then looked directly into Koga Tomoe's eyes and said, word by word.

"Koga-san, you shouldn't have forgotten the monster that appeared on the beach today, right?"

The moment she heard this sentence, a trace of lingering fear couldn't help but appear in Koga Tomoe's eyes, and she forced a smile and nodded.

"Yes... I remember, but I remember that at that time, Senpai, you guys didn't seem to be there..."

Yexing, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said.

"Really not there?"

"Eh?"

Koga Tomoe was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"But I didn't see you, I only saw Hiratsuka-sensei..."

Speaking of this, Koga Tomoe suddenly froze, belatedly realizing.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is the homeroom teacher of Class A in the second year. She basically followed the students of Class A in the second year on this school trip. Also, Sakurajima Mai-senpai of the Overload Club was also acting together, and they didn't appear in the itinerary arranged by the school.

But why would Hiratsuka-sensei be at the beach today, which is supposed to be a visit to the Ocean Festival arranged by Soubu High School, and when the members of the ESP Club are not present?

Does she want to come and watch the Ocean Festival alone?

Or is it… …

Koga Tomoe's expression first froze, followed by doubt, and finally, turned into unbelievable shock, as she looked at Yozora and Yukinoshita Yukino sitting opposite her, and murmured.

“Could it be… … senpai, you are… … ”

“That’s right.”

Yozora replied with a nonchalant look, smiling.

“What, did you only figure it out now?”

“This… … this… … ”

Koga Tomoe opened her mouth, already not knowing what to say.

The senpai who once helped her solve the confession incident, who is a popular figure in the school, a genius who ranked first in the mock exams, and who is also proficient in many literary and artistic projects, and who monopolized the top three spots at the school festival… …

Is actually “Masked”?

It would be hard for any normal person to believe, right?

However… …

Koga Tomoe thought carefully. When she and Wu Jialouluo appeared in that underwater lighthouse that day, Jialouluo once said something.

“As long as you persevere, someone will come to save us.”

And the last one to appear… … was Yozora-senpai.

Koga Tomoe was a little confused at the time and didn't think about it carefully. Only now did she belatedly realize that if Yozora was just an ordinary high school student, how could he have crossed the heavy seawater, passed the monster swimming outside, and appeared in the lighthouse?

The truth was actually in front of her, but she had never thought about it that way.

“Sen… … senpai… … ”

“Koga-san, please calm down.”

Yukinoshita Yukino's tone was very calm, seemingly trying to soothe Koga Tomoe's emotions, but in reality, judging from the slight tremor in her eyebrows, she was obviously not happy.

Koga Tomoe's appearance is very cute, and her voice is also very cute.

In addition, she is currently in a state of panic and confusion, using that trembling tone to call out the word 'senpai,' which is full of destructive power. Even Yukinoshita Yukino feels a tightening in her heart when she sees it, let alone Yozora?

How could Yukino not be jealous?

“Now that you know our true identities, can you guarantee that you won’t tell anyone?”

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Koga Tomoe quickly nodded, even raising her right hand.

“I swear, I will definitely not tell anyone!”

“Yes, I believe you.”

Yukinoshita Yukino is not stupid either. The reason for telling Koga Tomoe the truth is partly because she feels that the other party should have guessed it, and on the other hand, Koga Tomoe did not tell anyone about what happened before the world cycled for a day.

In addition, there is also the Adolescence Syndrome incident. Although she doesn't know what Koga-san's attitude towards 'Masked' is, what is certain is that the other party trusts Yozora very much.

Most of the members of the ESP Club are like this. They first had an intersection with Yozora before they knew about 'Masked'.

“Now, let’s talk about your Adolescence Syndrome.”

Since she came with Yozora, Yukinoshita Yukino naturally understands what he means, which is to hand over Koga Tomoe's matter to her to handle. This also happens to be in line with her original intention of joining the ESP Club.

“Although you may now think that the ability to directly enter the cycle whenever something happens that doesn’t suit your wishes is very convenient, in reality, Adolescence Syndrome is, after all, a mental illness. If it were normal times, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but since you already know our identities, I’ll be frank with you.”

“People like you who possess strange powers, if you fall into some kind of obsession and can’t extricate yourselves, there’s a high probability that some terrible things will happen, falling into a state of losing control, or even being possessed by evil spirits, and finally becoming targets that we have to eliminate.”

Yukinoshita Yukino's words are not alarmist, but are true.

The palace, possession by evil spirits, this series of strange events all happened because the person involved fell into some kind of obsession and lost their minds.

Right now, Koga Tomoe doesn't seem to have any problems, but if left unattended, she may also create a 'palace,' or like Sakuragawa Rikka, become a target for邪神possession.

At that time, an enemy with the ability to make the world enter a cycle would be too棘手.

“Being able to change things that have already happened in the past, I don’t think that’s your ability.”

Looking at the silent Koga Tomoe, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have thought of something, pursed her lips, and said softly with a slightly complicated expression.

“You are escaping from those things that you don’t want to face and can’t face.”

Chapter 493 Koga Tomoe's Determination, A Misunderstanding That Makes the Best of a Bad Situation

“I… … ”

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, Koga Tomoe's eyes obviously became a little evasive, trying to refute, and whispered.

“I don’t want to either… … but the last time that senior confessed to me… … ”

“Does such a friendship have the necessity to continue?”

Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted Koga Tomoe’s words, and said in a flat tone.

“If, because the person you like likes you, they end their relationship with you, it can only prove that the relationship itself has no value worth cherishing. In other words, if you think that you and your friends have a relationship worth cherishing, then why not choose to believe them?”

Hearing this, before Koga Tomoe could reply, Yozora pondered.

“No, these words… … Why do I feel like I’ve heard them before?”

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded with an undeniable expression and replied in a matter-of-course tone.

“Of course, these are the words you once said to Komikaso-san.”

“Really? Did I say such philosophical words? As expected of me.”

“You, you’re starting to be narcissistic again… … ”

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, then looked at Koga Tomoe, looked directly into her eyes, and said softly.
