Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The Onimaru Kunitsuna, which had been hanging on the office wall, was now floating in the air on its own. It even shook its blade as if it were intelligent, as if telling him to stay away and not get in the way.

"Ah…?"

Soichiro Yagami was dumbfounded, his brain momentarily crashing.

No…

The Onimaru Kunitsuna… the Onimaru Kunitsuna, which was just a sword, was moving?

What was going on!?

So, what "Mask" meant by leaving the Onimaru Kunitsuna to protect him wasn't the kind of protection he had originally imagined, like warding off evil spirits, but protection like a human bodyguard!?

Just as Soichiro Yagami was still in a daze, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the stairwell door not far away.

In that instant, the Onimaru Kunitsuna, which had been floating in the air, disappeared.

Kiyoaki Aguri, who kicked open the stairwell door, didn't have time to see the scene before him. The first thing that caught his eye was a dark blade of light like a crescent moon.

"Clang!"

Kiyoaki Aguri raised the riot shield in his hand, and with a burst of dazzling sparks, he blocked the blade of light.

"Hmm?"

Onimaru Kunitsuna, who had transformed into a human form, snorted softly and said.

"You're covering the shield's surface with spiritual power… It seems you don't have the same abilities as my master…"

The shield that Kiyoaki Aguri had was the one he used to carry during his operations. The Metropolitan Police Department had specially made this riot shield for him, considering his height, weight, and strength.

Logically speaking, such a thing should have been sliced in two by Onimaru Kunitsuna's sharp spiritual power.

Kiyoaki Aguri had used his own spiritual power to cover it, barely managing to withstand Onimaru Kunitsuna's strike, but the surface of the shield still had a very deep cut.

"Master…?"

Kiyoaki Aguri stared at Onimaru Kunitsuna, who was standing in front of him, and said in a cold voice.

"Your master… is 'Mask'…? I see."

Kiyoaki Aguri looked at Soichiro Yagami, who was hiding behind the corner, his voice filled with contempt and disdain.

"No wonder the Metropolitan Police Department has fallen so low. So it's you, Chief Yagami, colluding with criminals."

"Colluding with criminals?"

Soichiro Yagami held his gun. Although there was no one in front of Kiyoaki Aguri in his field of vision, as someone who knew the rules of spirits, he was well aware that a spirit… no, it should be Onimaru Kunitsuna, was blocking the other party's path.

Hearing Kiyoaki Aguri's words, Soichiro Yagami took a deep breath, gripped the pistol in his hand, and replied in a deep voice.

"Breaking into the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, murdering your innocent colleagues, who is it that has degenerated, me or you, a former member of the Metropolitan Police Department driven to madness and out of control by a distorted sense of justice!?

"I'm not the one who's crazy."

Kiyoaki Aguri used the riot shield in his hand to hold back Onimaru Kunitsuna's blade. His tall figure exerted a suffocating pressure as he took steps forward, pushing against Onimaru Kunitsuna's long sword.

"Only I… only I can save this twisted city. Only I am absolute justice!"

"Madman."

Soichiro Yagami shook his head and didn't say anything more.

In his many years of experience in criminal cases, he had understood one thing.

There was no point in talking to criminals who had fallen into such extremes.

Even if… the other party was the commander of the Metropolitan Police Department's Mobile Unit, he had now become a dangerous person who had to be eliminated.

At this moment, Onimaru Kunitsuna was gritting her silver teeth, with one hand on the hilt and the other on the back of the blade, trying her best to stop Kiyoaki Aguri's progress, but the other party continued to move forward as if nothing was happening.

Although Onimaru Kunitsuna had the ability to fight on her own, she was, after all, just a weapon. All of her abilities were meant to be used by Yagami, not for independent combat.

Kiyoaki Aguri seemed to be ignoring Onimaru Kunitsuna. At first, he used the riot shield to push forward, but in the end, he lowered the riot shield in his hand and used his chest to push against the blade of Onimaru Kunitsuna's sword, step by step, until he reached the corner.

He looked down at Soichiro Yagami in front of him and slowly raised the riot shield in his hand.

"The cleansing of justice begins now."

Soichiro Yagami didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. The muzzle flashed, firing four shots in quick succession within two seconds, aiming at Kiyoaki Aguri's brow, neck, left chest, and groin.

As an experienced criminal investigation director, Soichiro Yagami naturally knew which areas to target when facing an enemy wearing Mobile Unit armor.

Although small-caliber bullets might not be able to penetrate the armor's defense, the force of impact would still cause fatal damage to the human body hidden inside the armor.

Especially these four, the most vulnerable areas.

Since Soichiro Yagami didn't have the ability to "observe," the bullets fired from his gun directly ignored Onimaru Kunitsuna, who was standing between him and Kiyoaki Aguri, and flew towards Kiyoaki Aguri's four vital points according to the principle of non-interference.

"Boring."

The moment Soichiro Yagami raised the muzzle, Kiyoaki Aguri retracted the large riot shield and blocked it in front of him in a very professional, slightly tilted way that could eliminate the force of the bullets.

"Bang!"

The bullets collided with the riot shield, making a deafening noise.

Kiyoaki Aguri didn't even flinch. He just shook his head and said slowly, like a cold machine.

"Accept the punishment of justice."

Just then, Onimaru Kunitsuna, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly showed a hint of a smile on her face.

She raised her head, looked directly into Kiyoaki Aguri's eyes, and said softly.

"You… are finished."

As soon as the words fell, Kiyoaki Aguri heard a loud noise behind him. Before he could turn around, he heard two plain words from behind.

"Return."

The moment these two words sounded, Onimaru Kunitsuna suddenly dissipated.

Sensing the spiritual power fluctuations coming from behind, Kiyoaki Aguri reacted quickly and immediately turned around and raised the riot shield in his hand.

There wasn't any sound, only the anti-riot shield being sliced open like fragile paper, and that familiar face that Akugaya Kiyotaka knew so well, the face he dreamed of even in his sleep.

“Mask…”

“Bang!”

Yozora didn't reply at all, just punched Akugaya Kiyotaka in the stomach, watching his large body fly backward, embedding itself into the wall, and said with a light laugh.

“Not hurt, are you? Old Yo.”

“I'm fine.”

Yozora Souichirou waved his hand, looking at the cloud of dust and gravel kicked up not far away, his brow furrowed.

“Be careful, this guy… possesses a special power similar to yours.”

“Similar to mine?”

Yozora waved the jet-black blade of the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his hand, shaking his head with a light laugh.

“No one can be similar to me, I am the only one, the strongest existence.”

“You really let this kid get carried away.”

At this time, Futaba Rio and Sakurajima Mai, already dressed in action gear, walked over from not far away and said to Yozora Souichirou.

“Director Yozora, we will escort you out of here.”

“Okay.”

Yozora Souichirou nodded without hesitation.

He knew that as an ordinary person, staying here would only be a hindrance, distracting "Mask". It would be better to take on his own responsibilities and evacuate the people around the headquarters building to prevent any accidental injuries.

After Yozora Souichirou left, Yozora looked at Akugaya Kiyotaka, whose body was half embedded in the wall, and said with a smile.

“You're not going to die just like that, are you? I still have a lot of things I want to ask you.”

“Mask…”

Akugaya Kiyotaka opened his eyes and struggled out of the indentation in the wall. The moment his tall body stepped on the ground, it seemed as if the entire floor trembled.

“You and Yozora Souichirou are the root cause of Kyoto City's depravity. Eliminating evil like you is justice!”

Akugaya Kiyotaka took off his riot helmet. Bestial hair suddenly grew on his angular face, and sharp fangs, gleaming with cold light, extended from his mouth. The body hidden under the Mobile Unit's combat armor also began to swell.

Along with the spiritual power fluctuations erupting from his body, Akugaya Kiyotaka, who had become no different from a monster, recited his Soul's True Name.

“Fusion, Nue.”

Chapter 289: A Girl with Hearing Impairment, Public Opinion's Doubts About "Mask"

“Fusion of the Soul's True Body, huh…”

Seeing Akugaya Kiyotaka's appearance become so strange and terrifying, like a beast, Yozora shook his head and said with a light laugh.

“This transformation of yours is a bit too disgusting. It's far less pleasing to the eye than the members around me.”

That was the truth.

Among the members of the Overload Society now, there are only three who possess the ability to fuse with their Soul's True Body: Yotsuya Miko, Futaba Rio, and Sakurajima Mai.

If you include Yui Yuigahama's incomplete fusion, that would be four.

Needless to say, Yotsuya Miko's body has a few eye patterns, but they aren't real eyeballs.

Futaba Rio's fusion allows her to create weapons of spiritual power white bone in her palms and joints, mainly enhancing her close combat ability, and her appearance doesn't change much.

As for Sakurajima Mai…

When she fuses, it's exactly the same as if she hadn't fused at all. It's just that spiritual power petals that can interfere with the actions of evil spirits, slowing them down or even stopping them directly, will scatter around her.

Although Yui Yuigahama's Soul's True Body isn't humanoid, when she fuses, it only covers her body like a phantom. If it were a long snake tail…

That would be quite interesting, I want a snake-tailed girl.

In contrast, Akugaya Kiyotaka's Soul's True Body fusion is completely monstrous, unsightly, and extremely ugly.

“Is this the true face of your so-called justice?”

Yozora stared straight at Akugaya Kiyotaka in front of him, casually twirled the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his hand, and put it back into its sheath.

“As expected, it's a twisted and ugly thing.”

Akugaya Kiyotaka clenched his fists, letting out a non-human roar. His massive body flashed with an afterimage, like a cannonball, and crashed towards Yozora.

“This… is my justice!”

“Bang!”

Yozora raised his left arm to block in front of him. Along with a thunderous roar, the entire building trembled under the impact.

Akugaya Kiyotaka's all-out impact was obviously not so easy to block.

After smashing through several walls in a row, he actually forced Yozora's body, directly crashing through the building, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

At the same time, on the street outside the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building.

It was currently rush hour, the streets were full of traffic, and the people were in groups of two or three, office workers getting off work, students after school, chatting casually as they walked.

When a loud noise came from overhead, everyone couldn't help but stop and slowly looked up.

What came into view were two people, and several large pieces of rubble, falling rapidly towards the ground, the scene gradually magnifying in their vision.

All the pedestrians let out panicked cries and immediately scattered around, only a girl with long, flaxen pink hair, wearing a Soubu High uniform, seemed to have heard nothing, just standing in place, looking at the fleeing people with a puzzled look in her eyes.

And a piece of shattered stone was falling straight towards the top of the girl's head.

At this critical moment, a figure instantly appeared in front of the girl, one hand pressing on her shoulder, forcing her to squat down, and the other hand, along with his upper body, became a barrier for her.

“Boom!”

In the dust-filled air, the ground clearly trembled.

The girl, listening to the vague sounds ringing in her ears, couldn't help but cover her ears, cautiously raising her head to look up.

What came into view was a beautiful face she was very familiar with, with a cold expression.

“If you're not hurt, hurry up and get out of the way.”

Yuigahama Yui, who was a dozen meters away, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
