Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Father, Mother…”

A week before the start of this semester, as the doctor predicted, Shimiya Yan'an passed away.

However, at the moment he left this world, there was no fear of death, and he even had a smile on his face.

Huiye's future was secured, and the Shimiya Group was also on the right track. Shimiya Yan'an had no more worries in this world. All he could think about was that when he went to another world after death, he might be able to see the person he loved most in his life, Huiye's mother, Kiyomizu Nayatake.

Before leaving this world, Shimiya Yan'an specifically instructed that there was no need to hold a grand funeral, just invite some truly close people. However, there was one thing he specifically requested at the time.

“At my funeral, I have to let my future son-in-law play the suona for me.”

Shimiya Yan'an was, after all, a person who cared about face. And in this world, what could be more impressive than having the chosen son who saved the world play the suona to see him off?

Chapter 567: Changes in the Kyoto Origin Land

“Huiye.”

After pouring all of his favorite ice-cold Coca-Cola into the soil in front of the tombstone, Yexing looked at Shimiya Huiye beside him and said softly.

“Don’t be too sad. I believe your father and your mother will reunite in the world on the other side.”

“You would actually say such a thing…”

Shimiya Huiye showed a gentle smile and shook her head.

“We all know that the world on the other side does not exist, or at least we haven’t discovered it yet. You would say such naive words as believing that my father will reunite with my mother under such baseless circumstances… This doesn’t seem like you.”

“Believing in existence and believing in change, isn’t that the source of our power?”

Yexing looked at the photo on the tombstone and replied with a smile.

“Besides, if you ask me if I really believe in the so-called Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, then I don’t believe it, but isn’t this comforting you? At this time, emotional intelligence cannot be too low.”

Shimiya Huiye was speechless.

“…You’ve already said what’s in your heart, so isn’t the comfort just now… equal to saying it for nothing? You really are as honest as ever.”

Yexing shrugged and teased with a chuckle.

“Insight is always so keen, you really are as unlovable as ever.”

“Indeed, no one has ever used the word ‘lovable’ to describe me.”

Shimiya Huiye brushed the black hair beside her ear and said in a flat tone.

“Even the current me, for most of the students in the school, is probably like an exquisite but gloomy Japanese doll, making people afraid to approach at all, but…”

Speaking of this, Shimiya Huiye looked at Yexing beside her, took the initiative to hold the other person's hand, her face slightly red, but pretending to be calm, she said softly.

“The current me doesn’t care about this kind of thing anymore.”

“Congratulations, you have finally reached my realm.”

Yexing held Shimiya Huiye's hand and replied with a smile in his voice.

“Putting pressure on yourself because of other people’s misunderstandings, there is nothing more foolish and naive in this world than this.”

“What your realm…”

Shimiya Huiye shook her head with a dumbfounded smile and retorted.

“Mine can still be considered a misunderstanding, but in your school, those things about you being a violent maniac, doing your own thing, speaking with strong aggression, being difficult to get along with, blatantly enjoying privileges, and wanting to hook up with female teachers, these are all facts, right? Only gathering in the club room… gathering to do that kind of thing is a rumor…”

“Wrong, completely wrong.”

Hearing Shimiya Huiye’s words, Yexing immediately waved his hand and said very seriously.

“These are all misunderstandings. A violent maniac? For those evil spirits, I may indeed not be very gentle, but I am very friendly to humans, unless it is the kind of guy who has done very disgusting things. It’s not that I’m violent, but that they are suffering the consequences of their own actions.”

“Doing my own thing? When do I have to ask other people’s opinions about what I want to do? Boring accusation.”

“Speaking with strong aggression? Stop joking, I usually don’t take the initiative to talk to others. Those who have been attacked by me, it means that they came to be sprayed on their own initiative. Rather than saying that my words are aggressive, it is better to say that they all have hidden masochistic tendencies, otherwise why would they take the initiative to come and be sprayed?”

“Difficult to get along with? This is even more nonsense. Besides me, the only person who can build friendships with any personality, even a girl with serious psychological problems like Touma and Shana, is Yui Yuigahama. What is a great personality? This is a great personality.”

“I won’t talk about privileges and the like, that was originally the treatment I deserved.”

“Wanting to hook up with female teachers, this is the deepest misunderstanding. It is clearly the legendary story of the great harem god saving older single chuuni young women, but it is described with such superficial words as teacher-student romance. Sure enough, most people can’t reach my realm.”

“As for the last point…”

In Shimiya Huiye’s speechless gaze, Yexing explained in a serious manner.

“It’s not that I don’t want to have a silver party in the activity room, but the problem is that there are too many people and the activity room is too small for me to use. Otherwise, I would have done it long ago.”

…

Several days later, after school on Friday, in the familiar coffee shop in Kyoto.

“Ruka, come cosplay with us, it’s a lot of fun.”

Faced with Kitagawa Haimeng’s enthusiastic invitation, Urushihara Ruka blushed slightly and replied in a soft, glutinous voice.

“But… but wearing a cosplay costume and cosplaying in front of so many people, and having other people take pictures… This… this is really too embarrassing…”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Kitagawa Haimeng laughed carelessly.

“There are many types of cosplay costumes. If you can’t accept those too fancy costumes for a while, you can start with those more simple cosplay costumes. Oh, right, for example, the shrine maiden costume you usually wear in the shrine, that’s also a type of cosplay.”

“But…”

Urushihara Ruka pursed his lips and said timidly.

“Wearing a cosplay costume in a place other than the shrine… it’s more or less a bit embarrassing…”

“It’s not necessarily wearing a shrine maiden costume. Do you have any other characters that you admire, yearn for, and want to become?”

“This… I usually don’t watch anime, so…”

Speaking of which, Ruka Urushibara suddenly paused, glanced at Yaehosh sitting there, as if thinking of something, a light of hope appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Marin Kitagawa, tentatively asking.

“That… Actually, if you really want to talk about it, there is one…”

“Eh? Who is it? Who is it?”

“‘Phantom’… Can I… Can I cosplay as ‘Phantom’?”

“Um… It’s not impossible, but…”

Marin Kitagawa hesitated, she had known for a long time that Ruka Urushibara knew Yaehosh's true identity. After all, Yaehosh had entrusted his Onimaru Kunitsuna to her Yanagisawa Shrine for worship.

Ruka Urushibara wasn't stupid. Combining the news of "Phantom" trying to steal Onimaru Kunitsuna during its exhibition at the Kyoto Museum more than a year ago, plus the special power that Yaehosh had shown her several times, she had already guessed Yaehosh's true identity.

It's just…

Marin Kitagawa felt okay when she didn't know Yaehosh's true identity, but after knowing it, she always felt a little strange when she saw those cosplayers dressed as "Phantom" at the comic conventions. She would subconsciously compare them with the real "Phantom", that is, Yaehosh.

This comparison… made her feel that those cosplayers were too unfaithful, not even one percent as good as Yaehosh.

Therefore, Marin Kitagawa had such a reaction when she heard Ruka Urushibara wanted to cosplay as "Phantom".

“Ah, really…”

Just then, Mayuri Shiina, who was sitting aside with a smile, suddenly looked puzzled and looked down at the pocket watch in her hand, muttering to herself.

“Mayuri’s pocket watch suddenly stopped, it’s so strange… I just wound it up…”

Yaehosh, who had been smiling and watching the few people in front of him talking, suddenly shrank his pupils after hearing Shiina Mayuri's words, and stood up abruptly.

“Shiina-san, your pocket watch…”

The next second, a desperate scream came from the street outside the coffee shop.

“What is that!?”

“Run… Run away!”

“Someone… Someone save us…”

Yaehosh looked out of the cafe and saw that the sky had turned into a churning dark red sea of blood. In the distance, there were densely packed, thousands of different-shaped evil spirits, all twisted, wantonly hunting people on the street.

“The Root of Kyoto…”

“Come out!”

Yaehosh noticed that dozens of evil spirits had pounced on him, and immediately summoned his Soul Avatar without hesitation.

“Bang!!!!”

A huge pale ghost hand appeared in mid-air, and slapped several evil spirits to death like ants with one palm.

Marin Kitagawa couldn't help showing a little panic when she saw this.

“Yaehosh, that is…”

“These are all evil spirits from the Root.”

Seeing more and more evil spirits gathering towards the cafe where he and others were, Yaehosh stretched out his right hand to his side. After a few seconds, a black shadow flew from a distance, like a black meteor, instantly piercing the heads of a dozen evil spirits, handing the hilt to Yaehosh's right hand.

“Hide behind me.”

Holding Onimaru Kunitsuna, Yaehosh manipulated his Soul Avatar to show its complete form. The black and white headless monster, nearly ten meters tall, stood in front of the cafe like a barrier, temporarily blocking the attacking evil spirits.

It's just…

Yaehosh couldn't take care of the pedestrians on the street. In the absence of being able to use the domain, the only thing he could do was to protect Marin Kitagawa and others around him.

…

At the same time, Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba, who were shopping, also encountered the same situation.

“Damn… Damn… Damn…”

Rio Futaba, who had merged with the Soul Avatar Hone-Onna, shouted at Miko Yotsuya while cleaning up the surrounding evil spirits.

“Miko, find a way to break through!”

“I’m already thinking of a way!”

Miko Yotsuya, who has always been calm in the face of emergencies, was also a little anxious at this time when facing the overwhelming tide of evil spirits that kept attacking like an ocean.

Why are there so many evil spirits suddenly?

Did they run out of the Root of the Kyoto Underworld?

Is this… the last desperate struggle of the evil spirits?

Miko Yotsuya clenched her teeth, wielding the Mikazuki Munechika emitting a pale golden light in her hand, and beheading the evil spirits in front of her one by one, but even if she and Rio Futaba beheaded the evil spirits quickly, they could only barely hold on, and it was hard to say how long they could last, let alone break through.

More importantly…

If only those evil spirits from the Root of the Underworld ran out… then it would be completely over.

Ordinary people have no power to resist in front of evil spirits, not to mention that there are more than one million powerful evil spirits in the Root.

Half an hour… no, ten minutes, counting from the moment the evil spirits appeared, as long as ten minutes passed, Kyoto would turn into a living hell, and those killed by the evil spirits would include Miko Yotsuya’s mother, Yui Yuigahama’s parents, Kyoka Kawasaki, and Hinata Amano’s younger brother, the family members of these Overload Club members.

The situation… seems to be irreversible.

“No… I can’t let this happen…”

Miko Yotsuya’s golden eyes gradually turned into a bright red, and the spiritual power fluctuations around her became more and more obvious.

“Hyakume!”

With Miko Yotsuya’s call, her Soul Avatar Hyakume appeared, untied the cloth strips covering her eyes, and slowly opened a pair of bright red eyes identical to Miko Yotsuya’s.

The time of the world began to reverse at this moment.

…

When Miko Yotsuya opened her eyes again, she was in the Overload Club’s apartment building, with all the members gathered together eating breakfast, but when her sanity returned to clarity, the smiles that everyone had on their faces disappeared.

“This is…”

Rio Futaba immediately reacted and looked at Miko Yotsuya.

“Miko, you just… no, at that time, you used the Time Reversal of the Hatatogami’s Eye?”

“Yes, but…”

Miko Yotsuya’s golden eyes seemed a little dim, and she gasped slightly.

“I can’t use it again until my spiritual power is completely restored.”
