Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Eriri bit her silver teeth, looking unwilling but helpless.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was right; the solution she came up with required the other's help.

Since their conversation in the hotel room, Eriri, though unwilling to admit it, had to face her biggest flaw: a lack of courage, an inability to make decisions at crucial moments. In this regard… she was indeed inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

“Just pretend what you said is right…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha mercilessly exposed Eriri's stubbornness.

“Not pretend; what I said is right.”

“Tch…”

Eriri clenched her fist, then released it, finally sighing helplessly. Her tone suddenly shifted as she looked directly at Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.

“Are you…”

“A virgin?”

Hearing this sudden question, Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly taken aback, her brow furrowing.

“What… do you have a problem with that?”

“No, I'm in the same situation as you.”

Eriri shook her head, a complex expression on her face.

“When Umimi discusses these things with us, she always describes them so vividly. Logically, I, a professional doujinshi artist, and you, a professional romance light novelist, shouldn't be completely unable to relate in front of Umimi, who is just a seasoned eroge player. But the reality is that it happens, and more than once… Perhaps, it's precisely because neither of us has real-world experience that… we can't give effective advice.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't respond directly to this, but took two steps forward, silently approaching Eriri. Eriri watched Kasumigaoka Utaha walk towards her and suddenly felt a little nervous, subconsciously backing away until her back pressed against the rooftop railing. She stood there helplessly, like a chihuahua cornered and driven to the brink.

“You mean…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down at Eriri like a villain, a meaningful smile on her lips, and reached out to lift Eriri's chin, softly saying,

“You want to do it with me?”

“Eh? Eh!!?”

Eriri's expression changed, and she slapped Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand away, her face flushed with anger and embarrassment.

“You… you've got a problem, haven't you!? What do you mean, 'do it with you'!? Are you sick!? You're a pervert, aren't you!? I'm talking about with Yozora, who wants to do that kind of thing with you!!!!?”

“Hahaha, look how scared you are.”

One of Kasumigaoka Utaha's greatest pleasures in life was teasing Eriri, and then watching her get exasperated but helpless.

“Just kidding, it was a joke. First of all, my orientation is normal… Oh no, rather than saying it's towards men, it's more accurate to say it's only towards Yozora, I'm a Yozora-sexual. Even if I really liked girls…”

Saying this, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri's chest, letting out a mocking snicker.

“Still, I wouldn't like a washboard.”

“You… you…”

Before Eriri could retort, Kasumigaoka Utaha continued on her own.

“So, you mean we need to temporarily join forces to capture Yozora, thereby gaining real-world experience with him. As long as we've experienced it firsthand, we'll surely come up with many valuable ideas when making eroge, is that what you mean?”

“That's right.”

“Hmm, that's not a bad plan. It just so happens that the last volume of my light novel is in a bottleneck…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha's 'Love Metronome' was already writing its last volume, which meant it was officially entering the final stages and would soon be completed. The male and female leads had already established a romantic relationship, but she had encountered a problem.

She didn't know how to describe the intimate behavior between the male and female leads.

Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't a naive person lacking knowledge in this area (pointing fingers at a certain young lady from Shuchiin who thought kissing would lead to having children). She knew that lovers would hug, kiss, and… do some intimate things.

Normally, certain plots in a work could be described even if the author hadn't personally experienced them. After all, imagination was meant to be used that way.

The problem was…

Kasumigaoka Utaha was too deeply immersed.

The female lead was completely herself, and the male lead was completely Yozora.

In this situation, she really couldn't imagine what her mood would be like before, during, and after doing certain intimate things with Yozora, she couldn't even imagine it.

Because of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha had writer's block.

“However… your plan has a loophole.”

Eriri looked slightly puzzled upon hearing this.

“What loophole? Yozora should like me… and you.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, a smile that made Eriri feel uneasy appearing on her lips as she softly said,

“You lack the ability to execute, you don't have enough courage to carry out the plan, so you want to pull me in. But…”

“I can do it alone. As long as I deliberately create opportunities to be alone, I can spend a wonderful night with Yozora. Why do I have to do it with you?”

“Although you need my help, it seems… I don't need your help.”

Chapter 584: Sakura-jima Mai's Graduation Ceremony

Hearing this, Eriri couldn't help but change her expression, biting her silver teeth and glaring at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

“What do you mean… do you want to sneak away!? You despicable…”

“Alright, alright, that's enough.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even need to hear the rest to know that Eriri was probably going to call her a sow with an overly lewd and voluptuous body again. After all, her vocabulary was so limited that she didn't even bother changing words when cursing.

“You really don't understand anything.”

When Kasumigaoka Utaha said these words, a hint of complexity appeared in her beautiful red eyes. She leaned her back against the wall and sighed slightly.

“According to that guy's personality, and based on the relationship between us two rivals, I don't want to argue about who is more important in his heart, such a meaningless topic. After all, to be honest, he would definitely treat us equally. But because of that, he wouldn't do anything that might hurt either of us, right? So… the idea of me sneaking away is unrealistic. I can't beat you, but I won't lose to you either. Similarly, you can't beat me, but you won't lose to me either. After all, the one we both fell in love with is a guy who aspires to create a wonderful world where no one gets hurt.”

Hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's words, Eriri tilted her head, looking puzzled. After a few seconds, she hesitantly said,

“What… what are you talking about? I don't understand? Did writing novels make you stupid?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri speechlessly, saying annoyedly.

“You… you actually have a very low EQ, don't you?”

“Eh… you…”

“No wonder…”

Shiyu Kasumigaoka sighed, holding her forehead in resignation.

“Perhaps, as Yexing said, our depravity… is enough to join his club.”

…

Meanwhile, inside the Sobu High auditorium.

Unlike normal schools, the front row closest to the podium wasn't occupied by school leaders and teachers, but by beautiful girls with diverse styles, all undeniably cute. There were also mature beauties like Natsumi Suga, Haruno Yukinoshita, Hizuru Minamikata, Touka Takanashi, and Shizuka Hiratsuka, as well as the sole male, the legendary figure whose mere presence commanded respect from the students.

“Onee-chan is graduating today…”

Tohka Toyohama watched the stage being set up and the red banner that read “Sobu High Graduation Ceremony,” muttering to herself with a complex expression, seemingly lost in thought.

“Regretting it?”

Yexing saw through Tohka Toyohama's thoughts with a glance, chuckling lightly as he spoke.

“You must be thinking, why didn't I come to Kyoto to find Onee-chan sooner? Why didn't I reconcile with Senior Mai sooner? Why didn't I transfer to Sobu High sooner? Now you've only transferred recently, and your Onee-chan is already graduating. You won't have the chance to experience those intimate sisterly moments you wanted, like eating lunch together at school or walking to and from school together, right? Oh dear, Tohka-san, you're such a spoiled sister-complex case.”

Tohka Toyohama retorted, arguing her case.

“I'm not a sister-complex case!”

“Having a sister complex is normal, it's nothing to be ashamed of.”

Yexing shrugged, smiling nonchalantly.

“Even someone as outstanding as me likes your sister, so it's normal for you to like your sister too.”

Tohka Toyohama's lips twitched slightly at his words, muttering under her breath.

“What kind of robber logic is that…”

“Please, future sister-in-law, show some respect to your brother-in-law.”

“What brother-in-law? Don't try to use seniority to suppress me, we're clearly classmates, right?”

Watching Tohka Toyohama become flustered and even blush upon hearing Yexing call her "future sister-in-law," Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes revealed a hint of amusement. She gently nudged Yukino Yukinoshita, who was reading a novel beside her, leaned close to her sister's ear, and said in a low voice with a smile.

“Don't you think… Tohka Toyohama's situation is very similar to yours in the past?”

“She's similar to me?”

Yukino Yukinoshita closed her book and glanced at Tohka Toyohama, who was sitting not far away. Her gaze swept over the other girl's dazzling blonde hair, the Sobu High uniform, and the various exquisite trinkets hanging on her bag. Then, she reopened her novel, saying in a calm tone.

“Are you having vision problems? Putting aside the fashion style, Tohka-san, who gives off a glamorous and youthful feeling in her personality and behavior, is completely different from me, who is taciturn, aloof, and even cold in the eyes of most people. There's no similarity at all.”

“I'm not referring to appearance or personality, I'm referring to the situation.”

“Situation…”

Yukino Yukinoshita was a smart person and naturally understood what her sister Haruno meant by "situation."

Just like she used to be, Tohka Toyohama would get agitated every time Yexing called her "future sister-in-law," as if she was very unwilling to hear that title.

Why?

Why is that?

The only one in the Overload Club who could empathize with Tohka Toyohama was Yukino Yukinoshita, because she had also been called "future sister-in-law" by Yexing. Although the title was indeed a fact, but…

She didn't want to be a future sister-in-law!

However, Yukino Yukinoshita only finally understood why she felt a strange and uncomfortable feeling in her heart whenever she heard Yexing call her "future sister-in-law" after realizing her true feelings. Tohka Toyohama shouldn't need someone to remind her to face the true feelings in her heart, right?

…

Half an hour later.

Watching her sister Mai Sakurajima accept her graduation certificate from the principal of Sobu High and receive the “Outstanding Graduate” award with a gentle smile on her face, Tohka Toyohama couldn't help but reveal a smile and applaud continuously. However, immediately afterwards, a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

“You don't think that your relationship with your sister will become distant after losing the boundary of high school, do you? If that's really the case, then you're really worrying unnecessarily.”

Hearing Yexing's teasing words, Tohka Toyohama couldn't help but be taken aback.

“Eh… How can you always see what I'm thinking?”

Yexing smiled as he looked directly at Mai Sakurajima on the stage.

“Stop joking, I'm the God of Harems. Seeing through the minds of beautiful girls is a piece of cake.”

“Is there really such an outrageous skill…”

At this time, Mai Sakurajima, who had completed the graduation ceremony, came down from the stage like the rest of the third-year students.

As soon as she came down, she immediately approached Tohka Toyohama and Yexing. Before she could say anything, Yui Yuigahama suddenly ran over and hugged her.

“Mai-senpai, Mai-senpai! Waaaaah…”

Mai Sakurajima was a little caught off guard, gently patting Yui Yuigahama's back with a helpless yet gentle smile on her face, laughing softly.

“Yui, I'm just graduating, why are you crying?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Yexing couldn't help but retort.

“Looking at you crying and wailing like this, people who don't know would think Mai-senpai has directly graduated from Earth OL. It's not that serious, right?”

“I can't bear to part with Mai-senpai…”

Yui Yuigahama raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looking pitiful.

“After Mai-senpai graduates, she's going to open a management company. In the future, we won't be able to stay together every day like we do now, and I guess she won't have time to prepare lunch for everyone every day… Or maybe I should be in charge of cooking for everyone in the future.”

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses upon hearing this, saying helplessly.

“No, your Yan state map is too short. The key is that what's hidden in your map isn't a dagger, it's a nuclear bomb… Let you cook? Please, Great Sage Tuan, please withdraw your divine powers.”

“If it's about cooking…”

Listening to the conversation, Touka Takanashi said in a calm tone.
