Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Then, if I get first place…”

“Yukino.”

Yukinon stretched out her hand and pinched her younger sister’s cheek, which, although expressionless, was still very cute in her eyes.

“You can’t even get first place in the Soubu High exams, so let’s not fantasize, okay?”

Yukino Yukinoshita felt unconvinced by her sister’s words, but she had to admit that she was right.

Although she was very competitive and confident in her abilities, when the opponent was the private Shuchiin Academy, believing that she could definitely get first place wouldn’t be confidence, but arrogance bordering on insanity.

“If you put it that way…”

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yasei, who was sitting across from her with a relaxed expression.

“Does that mean Yasei-san is sure to win?”

“Of course.”

Yukinon smiled and slowly said.

“He’s the top scorer in the entire Sakura Prefecture’s joint exam, you know.”

“Huh?”

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned upon hearing this, and even the usually aloof her couldn’t help but look surprised at Yukinon’s shocking words.

“The entire Sakura Prefecture’s… joint exam top scorer?”

“Eh, didn’t you know?”

Yukinon smiled meaningfully.

“Looks like, although you’re in the same club, you’re not that close privately. In that case, I’m relieved.”

Hearing this, Yasei retorted.

“Do you really think I want to hit on your sister?”

Yukinon stared at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and asked back.

“You don’t want to?”

“Well, I do want to, you really have a good eye.”

“Pfft.”

Yukinon chuckled and didn’t continue on that topic, but instead looked at her sister Yukino beside her, saying each word clearly.

“So, my adorable sister, are you going to entrust a major decision that could affect your life into someone else’s hands? You need to decide.”

It has to be said, they truly are sisters.

Faced with Yukinon’s direct question, Yukino, who was usually straightforward, actually seemed a little at a loss at this moment.

Entrusting such a major decision that would affect her entire life to someone else?

In Yukino’s mind, this was a very difficult thing to accept.

She didn’t want anyone to decide her future life.

But…

Thinking about the various legends surrounding the private Shuchiin Academy, even Yukino, who regarded it as a “fake,” had to admit.

That it was the cradle of talent in Sakura Prefecture, the most outstanding high school in the entire Sakura Prefecture.

Without question.

With her academic ability alone, it would be almost impossible to get first place in this joint exam.

You should know that even her sister Yukinon, who had better grades and was more outstanding, would at most only be in the top ranks of the private Shuchiin Academy, and would definitely not be able to touch the throne of the top of the year level.

However…

Yukino looked at Yasei sitting across from her, her eyes looking very complicated, and after a long silence, she whispered.

“Yasei-san… In my opinion, it’s not a good thing to impose one’s expectations on others, so…”

“Alright, no need to say anymore.”

Before Yukino could finish, Yasei waved his hand to interrupt.

“I will definitely get first place in this joint exam.”

“Don’t look at me like this, I’m very arrogant.”

Yasei looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and smiled nonchalantly.

“So, what expectations, what imposition, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all. I want to get first place in the joint exam simply because I have never failed, I will not fail now, and I will definitely not fail in the future.”

“Because I am stronger than everyone else.”

Hearing these words, the heaviness in Yukino Yukinoshita’s heart finally disappeared.

She looked at Yasei sitting across from her, speaking such a declaration in such a matter-of-fact tone, and couldn’t help but raise a slight arc at the corner of her lips, her voice carrying a rare hint of a smile.

“Indeed, you really are the type to seriously say some strange things. Stronger than everyone else? What is that, the legendary chuunibyou?”

After feeling a little more relaxed, Yukino thought of something else, and frowned slightly.

“But, even if Yasei gets first place in the joint exam, according to mother’s personality, it will still…”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Yukinon patted Yukino’s shoulder and smiled generously.

“Actually, mother and Yasei know each other, and she has a very good impression of him.”

“Ah?”

This really threw Yukino for a loop.

Has the relationship between you two developed to the point of meeting the parents?

Yasei, has met her and Yukinon’s mother?

Moreover, her mother actually has a very good impression of him?

Yukino found it hard to imagine the scene of Yasei, who always goes for abstract madness, meeting her high and mighty mother.

She couldn’t understand.

“Alright, now that everything has been said…”

Yukinon stood up, sat next to Yasei, hugged his arm, and smiled at the dazed Yukino across from her.

“Aren’t you leaving yet? Staying here as a third wheel?”

“Tch.”

Yukino was clearly not interested in her sister’s love story, stood up and nodded slightly to Yasei, as a greeting, before leaving the cafe.

After she left, Yasei slowly spoke.

“So, there’s something else, right?”

“Eh, you saw through it?”

Yukinon released Yasei’s arm, sat back down across from him, and smiled.

“That’s right, there are some things that aren’t convenient for Yukino to hear. From the looks of it, she doesn’t seem to know about your exorcist identity, right?”

Yasei didn’t answer directly, but instead asked.

“Is it necessary for her to know?”

“Indeed, there’s no need.”

“Mm.”

Yukinon nodded in agreement, then took out her phone, the smile on her face disappearing, replaced by a rare serious look, opened a photo, and handed it to Yasei.

“Take a look at this.”

Yasei took the phone and glanced at it. On the screen was a photo that was incredibly cruel just by looking at it.

A girl wearing a high school uniform, her face unclear, her neck tied with a hemp rope.

Her entire body was hung outside the rooftop, and all four limbs were missing.

Although it was just a static photo, judging from the posture of the corpse, it was clearly swaying with the wind.

Just like…

A sunny doll.

Seeing that Yasei’s eyes and expression didn’t change at all when he saw this extremely cruel photo, Yukinon wasn’t surprised.

After all, he was an exorcist who fought against those monstrous evil spirits.

This photo, which would make ordinary people feel chills just by looking at it, was indeed not enough to frighten him.

“We have some friends in the Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Department who have some influence. This is one of the cases committed by the one called the Sunny Doll Killer.”

Yukinon pursed her lips and slowly said.

“The deceased was a high school girl in her second year. When the body was found, not only were her limbs missing, but her internal organs were also completely emptied, leaving only an empty shell, which is why it was so light that it could sway with the wind.”

Seeing that Yasei didn’t reply, Yukinon paused for a moment, then continued.

“Although the investigation hasn’t been made public yet, we learned through our family’s connections in the Metropolitan Police Department that this serial killer has a characteristic in choosing targets.”

“That is, female students who dress in a gyaru style and look relatively lively and cheerful.”

“If I remember correctly…”

Yukinon picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, saying lightly.

“In your club, Yuihama-san, whom I saw last time, and that Kitagawa Kaimu-san, what was her name… Oh, right, Kitagawa Kaimu-san, both fit the target characteristics of this killer.”

Yasei nodded noncommittally, saying meaningfully.

“You know a lot about the composition of our club members, even knowing the appearance and dressing style of Kitagawa Kaimu, whom you’ve never met.”

“That’s natural.”

Yukinon admitted it without hesitation.

“I always make thorough preparations for potential enemies.”

Hearing this, Yasei said lightly.

“Among all the people around me, I feel that your personality is the most likely to do something like cutting off my head.”

Yukinon pursed her lips and smiled.

“If you wouldn’t die even after that, it wouldn’t matter to cut it off and play with it, right?”

“It hurts a lot.”

“Hehe, then how come when I sometimes shout that I can’t do it anymore, I can’t take it anymore, you not only didn’t stop, but you used even more force? What’s up with that?”

“Yukinon-san, please stop your sexual harassment.”

…

The next morning, at the entrance of Soubu High School.

“Everyone, get on the bus quickly, don’t be late.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka, Mafuyu Kirisu, and several other class teachers were urging their students to board their respective buses by class.

The venue for this joint exam…

Is the private Shuchiin Academy.

There was no way around it, Soubu High School didn’t have enough space to accommodate the first-year students of the private Shuchiin Academy.

Moreover, the Soubu High School authorities didn’t dare to propose holding the exam at their school.

You should know that any student pulled out from the private Shuchiin Academy is from a prominent aristocratic family.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, the Soubu High School authorities really couldn’t bear the responsibility.

It’s better to avoid trouble than to cause it.

Faced with the upcoming joint exam, most of the students seemed very nervous.
