Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing Yotsuya Miko's reply, Yozora nodded noncommittally.

He thought to himself that the other party had indeed grown.

Moreover, she had grown a lot.

From the naive high school girl he had met not long ago, who, despite having a heart that wanted to help others, lacked consideration in her actions and almost went from plaintiff to defendant on the train.

To now, she has clearly defined the goals she wants to achieve, and she has also begun to master exorcism.

Thinking of this, Yozora couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If every member of the ESP Club was like Yotsuya Miko, able to completely understand their true thoughts with just a little guidance, then the combat power against evil spirits would be more than just himself and Miko.

...

After all the members arrived at the clubroom and gathered, Yotsuya Miko told everyone that the famous sword Onimaru Kunitsuna would soon be exhibited in Kyoto City.

Futaba Rio and Yuigahama Yui had no objections to this.

Just as Yotsuya Miko said.

Keeping Onimaru Kunitsuna in a glass display case would be a waste of a treasure.

Such a powerful spiritual object should be used to slay demons.

Making the best use of everything.

Sakurajima Mai sat by the window, looking bored, propping her chin up with one hand, her slender legs in black stockings crossed, looking like she was bored to death.

Currently, Yozora was the only person in the world who could communicate with her.

Whenever the ESP Club had a meeting, Sakurajima Mai, who was just listening in, felt a little lonely.

The things everyone was talking about seemed very interesting.

She wanted to join in too.

"Onimaru Kunitsuna..."

After listening to Yotsuya Miko's words, Futaba Rio frowned slightly and looked at Yozora.

"Is your plan still to go through the 'Gate'?"

"That's right."

When school is dismissed this Friday, the power of Hachishaku will have completed its seven-day cooling period.

This time, the situation is different from Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten.

It is estimated that a "Gate" is unlikely to suddenly appear in the exhibition hall.

Yozora plans to first enter the Reverse World through the existing "Gate", and after arriving inside the exhibition hall in the Reverse World, use the power of Hachishaku to open a "Gate" directly to the exhibition hall in the real world.

This process will not leave any traceable traces.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Yozora will simply appear directly in the exhibition hall.

Unless the Metropolitan Police Department has narrowed down the scope of suspects and locked onto him, and then used constant surveillance to rule out alibis for the time of the crime.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find him.

"Hmm... I don't think there are any other problems."

Futaba Rio held a ballpoint pen in her hand, tapping it lightly on the table as she spoke thoughtfully.

"However, time is a problem."

Yuigahama Yui and Yotsuya Miko didn't understand, but Yozora understood what Futaba Rio meant.

"Are you referring to the time period of appearing in the exhibition hall, and whether it's possible to complete the process of traversing the Reverse World, arriving at the exhibition hall, taking Onimaru Kunitsuna, and then returning the same way in just two hours?"

"That's right."

Futaba Rio nodded, raised her hand to push up her glasses, and began her analysis while drinking the freshly brewed coffee.

"Although the Metropolitan Police Department is just a group of ordinary people, they are still the Metropolitan Police Department, and we cannot underestimate their investigation capabilities."

"Last time, Yozora appeared in Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten during the Hour of Twilight."

"If we choose to appear during the Hour of Twilight again this time, once is a coincidence, but twice like that might make the Metropolitan Police Department discover a pattern."

"After all, the Hour of Twilight is a strange tale that is quite widespread within Sakura Province."

"It would naturally be best if we could prevent the Metropolitan Police Department from discovering the pattern."

"So, I suggest choosing the time between five and seven in the morning, which is the Hour of Meeting People."

Speaking of this, Futaba Rio paused slightly to catch her breath before continuing her analysis.

"Also, due to the rapid increase in the crime rate in Kyoto City recently, the Metropolitan Police Department has transferred elite personnel from various cities to provide support."

"At this time, holding an exhibition of a national treasure-level famous sword like Onimaru Kunitsuna, the level of security on site will definitely far exceed that of a normal exhibition."

"If we want the plan to be completed smoothly, we must consider many factors, the strength and vigilance of the security personnel, the alarm devices inside the exhibition hall, the method of breaking the bulletproof glass of the display case, and even the possibility of facing a heavy weapons squad."

"Also, at some exhibitions, the real thing is actually stored in a metal-built vault, and what is displayed in the open display case is actually a flawless replica. The means of confirming whether it is the real Onimaru Kunitsuna also need to be prepared in advance."

After Futaba Rio finished speaking, she noticed that Yuigahama Yui and Yotsuya Miko were looking at her with a shocked gaze, as if they had seen Tamamo-no-Mae, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with what I said?"

"Futaba... Futaba..."

Yuigahama Yui was completely shocked and expressed her true feelings from the bottom of her heart.

"You just heard about this, and you've already thought of so many things that need to be prepared? Your thinking speed is too fast, isn't it?"

Yotsuya Miko nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, fortunately, Futaba is our companion."

When Futaba Rio first accepted Yozora's invitation to join the ESP Club, Yotsuya Miko only thought that another strange person had joined the club.

After various events during this period, especially after Futaba Rio learned the truth about the Reverse World, she finally understood the various analyses she made.

This science girl who looks very indifferent...

Like Yozora, she is also a gifted person who is different from ordinary people!

It's embarrassing to say.

Even Yotsuya Miko, as a spiritualist, only considered how to enter the exhibition hall, take Onimaru Kunitsuna, and return.

She had not considered things like bulletproof glass, heavy weapons squads, the Metropolitan Police Department's awareness of the time period, or the possibility that the display case only contained a replica, as Futaba Rio had said.

Yotsuya Miko was still on the first level.

Futaba Rio had already thought of who knows how many levels.

Four is less than two, assessment complete.

Looking at the people who were starting to discuss the specific plan, Yuigahama Yui still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little dim.

Compared to Yotsuya Miko, who is a spiritualist, Yozora, who gathered everyone in the club and secretly protected Kyoto City, and the genius Futaba Rio, whose analytical ability and meticulousness far exceeded that of ordinary high school students.

She...

Was too ordinary.

During this period, the frequency of "Gates" appearing has been decreasing.

And because the spring exams are approaching, the number of students who come to Yuigahama Yui to issue requests for paranormal events has also become less and less.

In such an ESP Club composed of geniuses in the eyes of normal people, can an ordinary person like herself really contribute?

Can she really be needed?

Will there still be a place for her in the future ESP Club?

In Yuigahama Yui's view, friendship needs to be catered to.

She originally thought that even if she was just an ordinary person, she could still do her best to contribute to the ESP Club.

But with these recent events, the sense of insecurity in her heart resurfaced.

If this continues...

She will be left behind.

...

After this discussion, the specific time of action was determined to be during the spring break after the exams.

As for the specific day, it depends on the arrangement of Yozora, who is the leader.

Yotsuya Miko will also participate in the plan to take Onimaru Kunitsuna.

Futaba Rio specifically instructed that the Metropolitan Police Department's capabilities and methods should not be underestimated.

After all, they have the support of the entire Kyushu behind them.

Futaba Rio decided to be responsible for collecting information about the exhibition site.

She will not use her mobile phone, nor will she search on the Internet, to avoid any possibility of being traced by the Metropolitan Police Department.

This time, it is different from the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten incident.

Onimaru Kunitsuna is a national treasure-level famous sword that has attracted the attention of the entire Sakura Province, so we must be very careful.

...

After school, Yozora came to that familiar gym.

Since he doesn't plan to go to the Reverse World for the time being, he might as well take this opportunity to exercise.

Yozora is not trying to increase his absolute strength, explosiveness, or stamina.

Eating evil spirits is the easiest and fastest way to improve physical fitness.

Coming to the gym to exercise is to allow him to adapt to and control his rapidly improving physical functions in all aspects.

Power that can be fully controlled is called power.

If you can't control it yourself, then it's a burden.

Sakurajima Mai did not come along, but was wandering around near the gym.

When she was an actress, she would occasionally run to improve her physical strength because of the requirements of her role.

But Sakurajima Mai herself is not very interested in fitness.

Besides, others can't see her, and in a gym where people are walking around with equipment, this situation is too prone to accidents.

She should just wait outside.

It was originally agreed that Sakurajima Mai would stay at Yozora's house on weekends.

Today is Monday, and she should go back to her own home.

Of course, Yozora is not stupid.

Sakurajima Mai didn't say she was going back, so he didn't need to take the initiative to bring it up. Can't he pretend to be stupid?

Having a beautiful senior actress who used to be a national idol at home is quite pleasing to the eye.

"Shizuka Kawaii, and Kirisu Mafuyu... didn't come today."

Yozora, who had changed into sportswear, glanced around the gym and didn't see the figures of those two teachers.

It seems so, after all, it is impossible for them to come every day.

"Oh, little brother, you've finally come."

Seeing Yozora, who hadn't appeared in the gym for a long time, finally reappearing, a burly man with thick arms and a simple and honest face ran over in three steps.

"You don't know, a tough guy came today."

"Tough guy?"

Yozora thought that since the other party had seen him doing sets of bench presses with two hundred kilograms, they still said he was a tough guy, so it must be something special.

"Where is he?"

"Look, he's over there."

Yozora followed the direction the burly man was pointing and saw a man with short white hair and distinct features doing squats.

Several barbell plates of the highest weight were hung on both ends of the barbell, and even the rod was bent.
