Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing Yang Nai mention Xue Nai's name, Xuezhixia's mother's voice obviously turned colder.

"Leaving Chiba Prefecture to study in another place is one thing, but the choice she made wasn't even Advanced Nurturing or Shūchiin Academy, prestigious schools worthy of our Xuezhixia family name. It's just that mere Sōbu High School, truly disappointing."

Faced with Xuezhixia's mother's words, Yang Nai could only remain silent.

She also didn't understand why her younger sister, who was outstanding in both appearance and academic ability, didn't choose Shūchiin Academy or Advanced Nurturing, but instead chose the ordinary Sōbu High School.

"If you hadn't pleaded, I would never have allowed her to leave Chiba Prefecture and go to study alone in another place."

Despite not understanding, Yang Nai was still willing to support Xue Nai's decision, even at the cost of confronting her strong-willed mother.

The current Xue Nai still believes that her admission to Sōbu High School was the result of her reasonable arguments.

In reality, Yang Nai was secretly supporting her.

"Company matters are important, but your studies are equally important. After all, you are the future hope of the Xuezhixia family, so that's all."

After Xuezhixia's mother hung up the phone, Yang Nai's eyes became somewhat complicated, she sighed softly, and muttered to herself with a hint of bitterness in her smile.

"Little Xue Nai, sometimes, I really envy your honesty, which can be called naivety."

… …

A pleasant day passed just like that.

On the way home, Ye Xing felt content.

He is a normal… well, barely normal person.

Devouring the souls of evil spirits and villains to become stronger is definitely something he has to do.

If he can become a strong person, why be ordinary?

But.

Improving his strength doesn't conflict with enjoying a peaceful and beautiful youth.

The former is the process, while the latter is the ultimate goal.

After fighting against the paranormal for so long, he finally waited until the frequency of the "gates" appearing decreased, and it was time to relax.

When Ye Xing arrived at his doorstep, he found a beautiful girl wearing black stockings, quietly squatting in front of the door.

Fortunately, it was only a little past nine o'clock.

If he saw this scene at two or three in the morning, it would be like a female ghost coming to claim his life.

"Sakurajima Mai, why are you here?"

That's right, the beautiful girl squatting pitifully next to the elevator, like a bullied puppy, was none other than the former national idol actress, Miss Sakurajima Mai.

"You're finally back."

Hearing Ye Xing's voice, Sakurajima Mai rubbed her eyes, patted her skirt, and stood up.

"I hope I can stay at your house for the weekend."

"Sure, let's go."

There was one thing in those campus anime that he watched in his previous life that Ye Xing found most incomprehensible.

It was clear that the heroine had launched a direct attack, almost sticking to him.

Why could the male lead still miss the opportunity or misunderstand the other person's intentions from all sorts of unexpected angles?

That just wouldn't do.

Ye Xing wouldn't make the same mistake.

Why Sakurajima Mai wanted to stay at his house, whether she knew that he lived alone.

Don't ask these questions.

Come on, follow me inside first.

"Your house is quite big."

Following Ye Xing into the door and arriving at his house, Sakurajima Mai let out a sigh similar to the one Yotsuya Miko had given at first.

This detached two-story house wasn't exactly a luxurious residence, but it was considered pretty good in Kyoto City.

"There's instant food in the refrigerator. If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and make it yourself."

Ye Xing sat down on the sofa and said casually.

Sakurajima Mai looked helpless, thinking that it was her first time at a boy's house, and they were alone together. She was originally a bit restrained and nervous.

But seeing Ye Xing's nonchalant appearance, her nervous and uneasy emotions were instantly relieved a lot.

In the very clean living room, Sakurajima Mai discovered something that seemed a bit out of place.

She took off her leather shoes and walked forward two steps on the wooden floor with her jade feet in black stockings, looking curiously at an unopened can of Pepsi-Cola placed on the entrance shelf.

"Do you like drinking this kind of drink?"

"Not really."

"Then why do you put it here?"

"Because it was a gift from someone."

"Then why don't you drink it?"

Hearing Sakurajima Mai's question, Ye Xing looked conflicted and complicated, as if this ordinary can of Pepsi-Cola was more difficult to deal with than the legendary great demon Tamamo-no-Mae.

"I really hate drinking Pepsi-Cola, but since it's a gift from someone, it's definitely not okay to throw it away, and it's a bit inappropriate to give it to someone else, so I might as well use it as a decoration."

"I see…"

Sakurajima Mai nodded, then said meaningfully.

"The person who gave you this gift is a girl, right?"

"Indeed."

Next was silence.

Sakurajima Mai also didn't know what to talk about, so she could only sit quietly on the sofa, tucking her long hair behind her ear from time to time, and the small movements of tidying up her clothes revealed the nervous emotions in her heart, which were completely opposite to her calm appearance.

Ye Xing glanced at her and said faintly.

"You should… be afraid, right?"

"How could that be? I…"

Sakurajima Mai instinctively wanted to deny it.

But the moment she met Ye Xing's eyes, seeing the other person's unwavering gaze, she felt as if she had been seen through, and like a deflated ball, her voice became much heavier, and she lowered her head and said.

"Yes… I'm very afraid, afraid that I will disappear from this world."

A few traces of melancholy appeared in Sakurajima Mai's eyes, and she sighed.

"Now, except for you, no one can see me anymore, whether it's going to school or leaving school, it's the same."

The reason why Sakurajima Mai wanted to stay at Ye Xing's house was very simple.

Because she was afraid.

Today is Friday.

This also meant that if she didn't do something, she wouldn't be able to see Ye Xing for two days on the weekend.

Two days.

For the former Sakurajima Mai, it was only a mere two days.

But now, she was very afraid that when she entered the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Investigation Research Club activity room during Monday's lunch break, she would see Ye Xing's gaze pass straight through her body.

In that case, she would completely disappear from this world.

Now, the only connection between Sakurajima Mai and this world, and the only person who could observe her existence, was Ye Xing alone.

"Don't worry."

Ye Xing smiled.

"Even if I forget you, as long as you put on a sexy swimsuit or bunny girl outfit and stand in front of me, I will definitely remember you."

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai's pretty face was slightly red, but she still pretended to be calm and composed, with her arms folded in front of her chest.

"Hmph, as a mature adult, and also your senior, if it's the request of a junior who doesn't have much romantic experience and is very curious about women, as long as the attitude is sincere, showing it to you is not impossible, it's considered repaying you for your help during this time."

"Is that so?"

Ye Xing smiled meaningfully and slowly opened his mouth.

"Then how about we don't need to clean up the guest room tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

Sakurajima Mai subconsciously asked, and after a few seconds, she realized the meaning of these words, and her delicate, angel-like face instantly turned red, and she bit her silver teeth lightly.

"You, you're not allowed to do anything strange."

Sakurajima Mai, a second-year student at Sōbu High School, and a former national idol actress.

Moreover, she had another identity.

A famous high-attack, low-defense character.

Meeting Ye Xing, who spoke his mind directly and said whatever he wanted without any scruples or shyness, was simply a complete restraint in terms of attributes.

"Speaking of which."

After teasing Sakurajima Mai, Ye Xing suddenly remembered a question.

"Have you ever taken swimsuit photos before?"

This question made Sakurajima Mai's face sink immediately, and she replied very displeased.

"How could that be? I'm an actress, not a model. With my professional acting skills and strength, I don't need to use this method to attract attention."

"That's good."

Ye Xing thought that if that wasn't the case, it would be pretty good.

It's also good that there's one less painful memory in her life.

Looking at Sakurajima Mai, who was sitting bored on the sofa, crossing her legs, her legs were slender and well-proportioned, and her fair skin was looming in the see-through black silk, looking a little tired, Ye Xing had to admit one thing.

Sakurajima Mai's appearance was indeed extremely outstanding.

Of course, Yotsuya Miko, who exuded an aura of being emotionless, but also exuded a kind of aura that made people want to bully her fiercely.

Yui Yuigahama, who tended to dress in a gyaru style, but was unexpectedly pure and innocent inside.

And Rio Futaba, who had an amazing figure and was rational and calm, could all be called eye-catching beautiful girls.

But.

Compared to Sakurajima Mai, a former national idol actress who debuted as a child star, they were still a bit inferior.

Moreover, the mature and lazy temperament on her body was also something that ordinary high school girls didn't possess.

Ye Xing had only seen one person who could truly compete with Sakurajima Mai in terms of both appearance and temperament, and not be at a disadvantage.

That was Xue Nai's older sister, Yukinoshita Yang Nai.

Others were more or less lacking.

However, they could be nurtured.

… …

The next morning, inside the shopping street.

"Oh, long time no see."

Oda Noto, who was sitting behind the counter smoking, immediately stood up with a smile and greeted him when he saw Ye Xing walk into the store.

Ye Xing returned a smile.

"Business has been good lately, right?"

"Of course, thanks to you."

Oda Noto smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were almost twisted together.
