Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"So that's… Rio Futaba's soul manifestation?"

Yotsuya Miko, whose physical strength was nearing its limit, used her long sword to support herself, looking at the female ghost standing beside Rio Futaba, her golden eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Bone Woman, like her Hundred Eyes, was a monster from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons stories.

Legend says that Bone Woman was once a geisha who suffered endless verbal abuse, insults, and bullying from men, and transformed into an evil spirit.

Bone Woman looks beautiful, but in reality, she is just a powdered skeleton, her entire body made of bones.

"Hachishaku, get ready."

Hearing Rio Futaba's order, Hachishaku was slightly stunned.

As a witness to the awakening of abilities in both members, she could be considered somewhat experienced.

But the last time, Yotsuya Miko, who awakened her ability, was a psychic with the ability of Yin-Yang Eyes.

Rio Futaba, an ordinary human, could also awaken such an ability that could fight against evil spirits?

Hachishaku increasingly felt that signing a contract with that human named Yozora was a wise decision.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on.

Rather than being frightened every day in the evil spirit circle, it's better to join Supernatural Society and get a stable job.

"Understood."

Hachishaku floated to Rio Futaba's side, her gaze also locked on the evil spirit in front of her.

"Hachishaku, the defense is up to you."

Rio Futaba, who tied up her ponytail and took off her heavy glasses, had less of a gloomy temperament and more of a decisive heroic spirit.

"Go, Bone Woman!"

As Rio Futaba's voice fell, the Bone Woman, draped in a colorful kimono, instantly appeared in front of the evil spirit.

The latter's reaction was also very quick, immediately spitting out a dark green, tough tongue, its speed like a bullet, the tip of the tongue aiming at the Bone Woman's brow.

"Hoo…"

Even in battle, the Bone Woman's movements were so elegant.

She only let out a faint, resentful sigh, and from within her bone-white body hidden under the kimono, a sharp, pale bone spur instantly extended, piercing through the evil spirit's abdomen, pinning it straight to the wall.

The evil spirit's face became even more distorted, its left hand gripping the bone spur that pierced its abdomen, trying to crush it directly and break free.

"Hachishaku!"

"Understood."

Without Rio Futaba saying more, Hachishaku, who had gained a lot of exorcism experience with Yotsuya Miko during this time, immediately reached out her hands and clamped the evil spirit's arms.

"This guy…"

Hachishaku frowned, looking very strained.

In the contest of strength, she was actually at a disadvantage.

You must know that the Bone Woman had already pinned this evil spirit to the wall with bone spurs, restricting part of its strength.

This evil spirit's strength was far more powerful than she and Miko had initially judged!

"Miko…"

The first time she manifested her soul, Rio Futaba, like Yotsuya Miko back then, had already begun to feel dizzy, but she still held on, looking at the evil spirit pinned to the wall, a hint of hesitation in her brows, finally making up her mind.

"Cut it down!"

"Okay."

Yotsuya Miko's physical strength had already begun to reach the red line.

After all, she was an exorcist, not Ultraman.

Otherwise, the alarm light on her chest would be flashing like a disco ball.

Even so, Yotsuya Miko still supported her body, step by step, slowly walking to the front of the evil spirit, gripping the long sword in her hand, taking a deep breath, and without hesitation, slashing the tip of the sword towards the other's neck.

"Hold on."

Just then, a huge, pale ghost hand appeared out of thin air, directly pressing the evil spirit's body into the wall of the badminton hall.

Hearing this familiar voice, and seeing this familiar ghost hand, Yotsuya Miko and Rio Futaba both had the same thought at the same time.

The danger was lifted.

Yotsuya Miko collapsed to the ground, looking at Yozora, who walked out from the corner with a frivolous smile still on his face, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You, you, why did you only come now… I was almost done for."

Rio Futaba also took a few steps back, leaning against the white wall, dispelling her soul manifestation Bone Woman, glanced at Yozora, and said calmly.

"This guy was probably hiding somewhere long ago, and hasn't shown up, wanting to see… cough, wanting to see if we could win with our own strength."

"Rio Futaba knows me well."

"Hmph."

Rio Futaba snorted lightly, subconsciously raising her hand to push up the frame of her glasses, but she pushed empty air, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"It's just a rational judgment based on your vile personality."

At this time, Yurigawa Hana was completely stunned.

In the eyes of her, an ordinary person, what had just happened?

A pervert with a dark green tongue that made people feel disgusted chased them into the badminton hall.

When Miko was about to lose, Futaba suddenly started saying some nonsense, changed to a high ponytail hairstyle, and crushed her glasses.

Then, the pervert was suddenly nailed to the wall by something, and a hole appeared in his abdomen.

Finally, Yozora appeared.

What was going on!?

Yurigawa Hana couldn't see the soul manifestations Hundred Eyes and Bone Woman, nor could she see Hachishaku as an evil spirit, and couldn't understand what had just happened at all.

"Since you didn't kill this guy directly…"

Rio Futaba took a few deep breaths, adjusted her breathing, and then said faintly to Yozora.

"It seems that you and I thought of the same thing."

Yozora walked to Yotsuya Miko's front and stretched out his hand.

"Can you still stand?"

"Mm…"

A trace of shyness flashed across Yotsuya Miko's face, but she still grasped Yozora's hand, letting the other person pull her up.

Rio Futaba frowned slightly and said in a flat tone.

"Miko, hand your sword to Yurigawa."

"Huh?"

Yotsuya Miko looked puzzled.

What tricks were these two trying to pull again?

Thinking about it, Yotsuya Miko really didn't have the strength to think at this time, so she simply gave up.

"Here."

Yurigawa Hana also had a natural dazed personality, and it wasn't until she subconsciously took the long sword handed over by Yotsuya Miko that she belatedly reacted.

"Eh!? You don't want me to…"

"That's right."

Yozora smiled and nodded, stepping aside to give Yurigawa Hana a position, pointing to the evil spirit that was pressed against the wall by the ghost hand and couldn't move.

"Please, Yurigawa."

"Please… what?"

Yozora shrugged and smiled as if it were a matter of course.

"Of course, it's to give this B a stab, if you want to give a few more stabs, I don't object, and even fully support you, go for it."

"Huh!?"

Yurigawa Hana was shocked, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, absolutely not, this is assault! If it's more serious, it will be…"

"This guy isn't human."

Yozora smiled and interrupted Yurigawa Hana's words, took out a silver nail from his pocket, and with an extremely gentle and slow, yet very firm movement, pierced the sharp tip of the silver nail into the heart of the evil spirit in front of him.

In Yurigawa Hana's shocked gaze, he repeated this action several times, and then pointed to the evil spirit, whose face was still distorted, and even though the main artery of the heart was pierced and blood was flowing all over the ground, it was still baring its teeth and claws, and said faintly.

"See? If it were a human, it would be dead by now."

Yurigawa Hana hesitated.

"But…"

"There is no but."

Yozora grasped Yurigawa Hana's wrist, slowly bringing the tip of the long sword in the other's hand closer to the evil spirit's neck.

"This thing is called an evil spirit, just like you just saw, it's a monster."

"There is only one way to deal with evil spirits."

"That is, never show mercy."

Under Yozora's guidance, Yurigawa Hana thrust the long sword in her hand into the neck of the half-human, half-evil spirit, and then made a horizontal cut, separating its head from its body.

Looking at the evil spirit that turned into black smoke and was absorbed into Yozora's belly, Rio Futaba nodded slightly, revealing a look of 'as expected'.

Yotsuya Miko finally understood why they wanted Yurigawa Hana to do it, instead of the members of Supernatural Society.

It was to verify a point.

Since evil spirits could avoid the rule of "seeing" by merging with human bodies, then correspondingly, did they also lose some advantages?

Sure enough.

Logically speaking, Yurigawa Hana, an ordinary human, even if she held a long sword as a spiritual object, but was not a psychic herself, could not cause any substantial damage to the evil spirit.

But now, she not only caused damage, but even directly killed an evil spirit.

This confirmed Rio Futaba's guess.

While circumventing the rule of "seeing", this kind of half-human, half-evil spirit monster also had corresponding weaknesses.

That is, even ordinary humans who are not ability users can cause them damage and kill them.

"Hoo…"

Rio Futaba leaned against the wall, let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This ability… is really tiring to use."

Compared to her, Yotsuya Miko, who had used soul manifestation many times, was also very tired, but her recovery speed was much faster, at least there were no problems with normal movement.

At this time, Yozora suddenly approached Yurigawa Hana's ear, who was holding the long sword and hadn't turned around yet, and whispered something.

The latter's expression became even more complicated after hearing his words.

"Miko, you take Yurigawa home."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, looking at Yurigawa Hana with a complicated expression, put her hand on the other's shoulder and patted it, and said softly.

"Yurigawa, let's go."

…

After Yotsuya Miko left with Yurigawa Hana, Rio Futaba seemed to be relieved, finally letting out a sigh of relief, her body suddenly falling straight to the ground.

Fortunately, Yozora was quick-witted and supported Rio Futaba.
