Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Hey, you know what, that actually might be possible.”

Seeing that Nightstar agreed with her idea, Tamamo-no-Mae looked smug, raising her chin at Yui, as if showing off.

Yui bit her lip, looking frustrated and unwilling to give in.

It's really strange.

Yui gets along well with everyone, including the monsters like Hachishaku-sama, Menma, and Kuchisake-onna, but she and Tamamo-no-Mae just can't stand each other.

Perhaps, this is what they call an attribute counter.

“In that case…”

Miko Yotsuya also heard the possibility Tamamo-no-Mae suggested, and pondered thoughtfully.

“We need to ask Mr. Oda and Granny there, and also Miss Suga Natsumi, hoping to find some useful information.”

“Sigh…”

Yui Yuigahama sighed helplessly, resting her chin on her hands.

“Last summer vacation was spent chasing a serial killer, and this winter vacation has only just started a few days ago, and we're already tracking this Sakura Rikka, it's really a mix of emotions…”

Mai Sakurajima patted Yui Yuigahama on the shoulder, comforting her with a smile.

“Well, there's no helping it, after all, we are the ones who have to protect the world.”

As the members were walking out, Touma Kazusa suddenly grabbed Nightstar's sleeve.

“What's wrong?”

“That…”

Touma Kazusa pursed her lips and whispered.

“I know this might sound a bit selfish… but I… want you to give me a gift.”

“Is that all?”

Looking at Touma Kazusa's adorable appearance, shy with a hint of coyness, Nightstar gently kissed her forehead, and then smiled and said.

“You are my girlfriend, isn't it normal for lovers to exchange gifts? There's nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“But… I heard that if you actively ask your boyfriend for a gift… you might be seen as a gold digger…”

“Don't worry, in my heart, you have absolutely nothing to do with that word.”

Nightstar comforted her gently.

Touma Kazusa, a gold digger?

Don't be ridiculous.

Her mother, Touma Youko, is too rich, not only is she a world-class pianist, but she also owns her own company, to tell the truth, it's hard to say which family has better economic conditions, the Yukinoshita sisters or Touma Kazusa.

“That's good.”

Hearing Nightstar say this, Touma Kazusa showed a sweet smile, took out her phone from her arms, swiped a few times on the screen with her slender white index finger, found three photos, and handed them to him.

“Any of these three will do, but what I want most is this one.”

Touma Kazusa pointed to the famous sword in the photo, with a rosary wrapped around the hilt, which looked very ancient.

“Give me this one, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu.”

“Ah? Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, one of the Five Great Swords of Japan?”

“Yes, what's wrong?”

Seeing Nightstar's surprised expression, Touma Kazusa immediately put on a pitiful expression, with tears even showing in the corners of her eyes, looking up at him.

“Is it… not allowed? Please.”

Faced with such a cute, reverse-gap Touma Kazusa, Nightstar gave in.

“Okay, no problem.”

Seeing Nightstar agree, Touma Kazusa had a happy smile on her face, tiptoed, put her arms around his neck, gave him a long, deep kiss, and then smiled with a red face.

“I knew it, my handsome and perfect boyfriend would definitely fulfill my willful request.”

Chapter 326 The Trip to Amagasaki by the Three, Souichirou and L's Mutual Confirmation

Although there are now many people in the Superhuman Society who have awakened the ability to materialize their souls, and even in Chiba Prefecture, there is a Yukinoshita Haruno who is not enthusiastic about exorcism, even among all the psychic power users, there are not many people who can use long swords to fight like Nightstar and Miko.

It's not because of physical fitness, swordsmanship skills, or courage.

Like Onimaru Kunitsuna and Mikazuki Munechika, they are both famous swords with “weapon spirits.”

As for this “weapon spirit,” whether it was born after a long period of time and inheritance, as in legends, or because it is among the Five Great Swords of Japan, and enough people believe that this level of famous sword will have its own consciousness, it is unknown and unimportant.

The point is that since Mikazuki Munechika and Onimaru Kunitsuna both have “weapon spirits,” then the other three of the Five Great Swords of Japan probably also have them.

People and weapons need to achieve equal recognition between each other, just like Onimaru Kunitsuna and Nightstar, Mikazuki Munechika and Miko Yotsuya.

Rio Futaba, Mai Sakurajima, Yui Yuigahama, Hina Amano, even Yukinoshita Haruno, who has no interest in exorcism, it is not difficult for them to gain the recognition of a famous sword.

The real problem lies in…

They don't recognize the famous swords, and they don't have the idea of using them.

Under such emotions, even if Mai Sakurajima and others obtain one of the Five Great Swords of Japan, the role they can play is similar to that of ordinary spiritual long swords, and may even be a hindrance.

Only those who want to obtain a famous sword and use it to fight can use it to fight.

It sounds a bit philosophical, after all, it is idealistic.

In short, since Touma Kazusa wants to obtain Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, she has such an idea, then whether it is out of personal feelings or for the purpose of improving the overall strength of the Superhuman Society, Nightstar will help her do it.

“Great!”

Touma Kazusa intimately挽住Nightstar's arm, revealing a sly smile like a successful plan, and whispered.

“I checked online, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu is in Honko-ji Temple in Amagasaki City, which is very close to Osaka where we went last time.”

“Well, then go tell Miko and the others…”

“No need.”

Touma Kazusa interrupted directly.

"Yotsuya-kun, Futaba-kun, Mai-senpai and the others, they're all going to be searching for valuable information and intelligence, right? They probably won't have any time, and it's just to retrieve a sword. Amagasaki is a small city, and Honkō-ji Temple doesn't have much security, there's no need for a group outing."

Saying this, Touma Kazusa paused for a moment, feigning nonchalance as she whispered.

"Just take Setsuna along."

"Kazusa."

"What is it?"

Yozora, seeing Touma Kazusa's poorly concealed intentions and ulterior motives, chuckled as he teased her.

"You've really become more and more cunning lately."

… …

That evening, at Touma Kazusa's house.

"Kazusa, that outfit you wore today was so cool, absolutely amazing!"

Ogiso Setsuna, looking excited, took out her phone to show Touma Kazusa, smiling sweetly.

"Look, look, I've set the screenshot of your entrance as my phone wallpaper! It's just too cool!"

"Stop it already."

Hearing Ogiso Setsuna's praise and seeing the outfit she wore in the video being displayed, even set as the other's wallpaper, Touma Kazusa's fair face flushed red, feeling like she was about to die of embarrassment.

"Delete it right now, you hear me?"

"Tch, it's no use you being mean to me, Kazusa."

Ogiso Setsuna pouted, resting her chin on her hand as she retorted.

"Even if I delete it, there's still that video of you guys circulating online, there are even high-definition versions recorded with professional cameras, and screenshots are flying everywhere. I've seen people online saying they want figures of everyone who appeared this time, even saying they'd spend all their savings to buy them and take them home to collect."

"Eh?"

Touma Kazusa frowned slightly, her eyes showing some confusion.

"Is it really that much?"

"Is it really that much? Your question is really…"

Ogiso Setsuna sighed, patiently explaining.

"Kazusa, I don't think you really understand your popularity within Sakura Province."

"The last time you appeared publicly, it was only Yozora, Miko, Rio, and Mai-senpai. The latter three didn't even say anything, they just acted as background characters."

"This time, it's been half a year since 'Mask' appeared with others again. Not only has the number of assistants increased, but this time there's also 'Quilla', confirming that 'Quilla' and 'Mask' are allies in the same camp."

"And and and, the uproar caused by the destruction of Shitennoji Temple, the Metropolitan Police Department's two-month-long investigation that yielded nothing, at a time when people are feeling oppressed, you guys found the real identity of the culprit and issued a warning that you would definitely eliminate him."

"With so many buffs stacked up, it's only natural that it would cause a buzz, become the biggest news story of the year, and skyrocket in popularity. To be honest, I think that if 'Mask' just said one word right now, it might even directly give birth to a cult."

Hearing Ogiso Setsuna's words, Touma Kazusa didn't show any other expression, she just whispered.

"People's expectations… to selfishly entrust such heavy things to someone whose name and appearance they don't even know, it's… I don't know how to describe it, it's too selfish."

Ogiso Setsuna smiled, comforting her.

"Not everyone can meet people's expectations, especially such heavy expectations. When you successfully meet them, you'll feel a sense of satisfaction, right? Kazusa, you're a kind person, you're just saying that, but deep down, you don't resist the idea of wanting to meet people's expectations."

Touma Kazusa's eyes looked a little complicated as she whispered.

"Only you would say that someone like me is kind."

"That's just because everyone hasn't really gotten to know you yet. As long as you open your heart to them, Miko and the others will definitely think you're a kind person, just like me."

Saying this, Ogiso Setsuna suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

"Speaking of which, Kazusa, you're a lot like a hedgehog, aren't you? The outside is all sharp spines, but the belly is soft."

"You're the hedgehog."

Touma Kazusa retorted unhappily, then changed the subject.

"Um, tomorrow, come with me and Yozora to Amagasaki."

"Amagasaki? That city next to Osaka?"

Ogiso Setsuna was stunned for a moment, asking in confusion.

"Why call me? I don't know what you and Yozora want to do, but I'm not a psychic, I'll just be a burden, right?"

"Don't ask."

Touma Kazusa reached out and placed her hands on Ogiso Setsuna's shoulders, looking directly into her eyes with a very serious expression, slowly opening her mouth.

"You just need to know that if Yozora and I go to Amagasaki City alone and spend the night there, I might die."

"Ah!?"

Hearing this, Ogiso Setsuna's pupils shrank in shock, her tone anxious.

"Then if I go with you, will it be okay?"

"Yes, it will."

"Okay, although I don't know why, I'll go with you."

Seeing Ogiso Setsuna agree, Touma Kazusa nodded in satisfaction, then, as if she had thought of something, she emphasized.

"By the way, do you have a kimono?"

"I do, why?"

"Bring it."

… …

On the other side, at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building, inside the operations conference room.

From the large screen connected to the channel, came the indignant, dissatisfied, and angry accusations from several high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department.
