Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“After the end of next semester, I should be going to university.”

“Huh?”

Hearing Yagami Light's words, Yagami Hoshi was a little puzzled.

“What do you mean? Did I live a year less? After the end of next semester, shouldn't you be like me, going into your third year of high school? What university are you going to?”

“I applied for early graduation.”

Yagami Light said in a calm tone.

“After graduation, I'll get a special recommendation to the Faculty of Law at Todai, and while attending university, I'll also use my father's connections to enter the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department early to study. Then, through L, I'll use the clues provided by the police department's resources to solve some major cases during my time as a special advisor, enhance my reputation, and create a perfect resume. After graduation, I'll enter the political world, using my position and achievements in the police department as a springboard, eventually becoming a minister, or even…”

“Got it, got it, I understand what you mean.”

Yagami Hoshi smiled nonchalantly.

“Entering politics, huh… that does indeed suit you very well, but you must be careful, the fact that you're gay can't be discovered. For a politician, that would be fatal negative news.”

Yagami Light looked speechless: “…I'm not gay at all… I'm just not interested in romance…”

“Okay, whatever you say. I won’t argue.”

“I really can't win against you…”

Yagami Light sighed helplessly, looking at the lively crowd around watching the fireworks display, and murmured.

“The world has already been saved, and our mission is finally complete, so… um…”

Yagami Light looked at Yagami Hoshi, hesitated for a long time, and then said.

“Sayu is with you guys today too. After watching the fireworks display, she said she wants to play in Kyoto for a few more days. That… um… Ryuzaki and I will be going back to Tokyo first, so that… um… you…”

“Don't worry.”

Yagami Hoshi waved his hand and smiled.

“Tomorrow, I'm going to Itomori Town with Mitsuha.”

Hearing this, Yagami Light, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard Yagami Hoshi add sincerely.

“I'll bring your sister along too.”

“You… that's not what I meant at all! She's only in the second year of middle school!”

“Oh, that's true.”

Yagami Hoshi nodded upon hearing this, patted Yagami Light on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

“Then it seems she can only wait in line for now. Even with our relationship, you can't let me break my own principles, right? Let's talk about it after she gets to high school.”

“You… how do you manage to completely misunderstand what I mean?”

“Really misunderstood? I have some doubts.”

… …

At the same time, at a stall selling candy apples.

“Dango, dango, I want to eat this.”

“No.”

“Huh? Why?”

Seeing Yuigahama Hina's pitiful appearance, Yuigahama Yui, who was the only one carrying a small bag with money inside, holding the purse strings, said helplessly, lowering her voice.

“If you buy a candy apple now, what if there aren't enough for everyone later?”

Yurigasaki Hina looked blank, tilting her head.

“Eating early or eating late, isn't it all the same?”

“Same my foot.”

Yuigahama Yui stretched out her index finger and gently poked Yurigasaki Hina's forehead, almost laughing in exasperation.

“Do you think eating a candy apple is just simply eating a candy apple?”

Yurigasaki Hina nodded, looking as a matter of course, and asked in confusion.

“Then what else is it?”

“You really are…”

Yuigahama Yui was speechless and couldn't communicate with this foodie's brain, so she could only turn her pleading gaze to Ogiso Setsuna.

“Hina, eating candy apples is considered a club activity. The real meaning it represents is…”

Ogiso Setsuna said halfway, also feeling a little embarrassed, so she could only turn her pleading gaze to Touma Kazusa again.

“Are you guys playing pass the parcel here?”

Touma Kazusa was amused, looking at Yurigasaki Hina and saying.

“Anyway, don't ask. If you want to eat something, you can eat something else first. As for the candy apple, just wait for everyone to eat it together.”

“Oh… okay.”

Seeing that Touma Kazusa had said so, Yurigasaki Hina could only leave the stall selling candy apples reluctantly, turning her head back three times.

On the other side, Mitsuha Miyamizu and Amano Hina, the shrine maiden duo, were closely accompanying Nishimiya Shoko, who was also wearing a kimono, never leaving her side and not even daring to look away.

“Hina… Mitsuha…”

Nishimiya Shoko couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle at the sight of the two.

“Why are you following me so closely? I'm starting to feel a little hot.”

Hearing Miyamizu Mitsuha's reply, Nishimiya Shoko replied in a soft voice.

“Because there are a lot of people today, we're afraid someone will bump into you.”

“I'm not that fragile, you don't have to be like this.”

“Hina, Mitsuha, you two can go and wander around.”

Hearing the voice behind her, Amano Hina and Miyamizu Mitsuha turned around and saw Yagami Hoshi, wearing a black casual outfit, was with… no, is this Amadeus, or Makise Kurisu? They couldn't tell, they really couldn't tell!

“Leave Nishimiya-san to me. You guys take Amadeus to wander around, and remember to come back to gather later.”

“Okay.”

Miyamizu Mitsuha and Amano Hina breathed a sigh of relief and took Amadeus to wander around somewhere else.

“Yagami-san…”

The moment she saw Yagami Hoshi, a shy blush appeared on Nishimiya Shoko's face.

“You… you came…”

“Yeah, I came.”

Yagami Hoshi looked at Nishimiya Shoko in front of him and said with a smile.

“Your outfit today is very beautiful.”

Today, Nishimiya Shoko no longer had her hair loose as usual, covering the hearing aids on her ears, but had her hair up, but still deliberately left a strand of light pink long hair draped over her left shoulder, coupled with a white kimono, giving the whole person a Yamato Nadeshiko's gentle temperament.

“Um… thank you…”

Nishimiya Shoko followed beside Yagami Hoshi, the two of them walking shoulder to shoulder. Nishimiya Shoko looked at the stalls on both sides, her eyes sparkling.

“That… Yagami-san… no, Yagami.”

When walking to a stall selling goldfish scooping, Nishimiya Shoko squatted down and scooped goldfish with the small net in her hand, and said softly.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you for what?”

“Thank you… and everyone, for being willing to be my friends.”

“Eh, eh, eh, that's not nice to hear.”

Yagami Hoshi also held a small net in his hand, squatting on one leg, watching the goldfish swimming in the pool, but did not scoop them, but looked at Nishimiya Shoko's profile beside him and said with a smile.

“What do you mean by willing to be your friends? With your self-pitying personality, didn't I say it last time? Among our group of people, who doesn't have a little problem? We're all one family, so no one should dislike anyone. You are all my most important family.”

“Family…”

Hearing this word, Nishimiya Shoko obviously misunderstood the meaning of the so-called family, and a hint of loss appeared in her eyes. Even the hand holding the small net to catch the goldfish trembled slightly.

“Pa.”

The goldfish broke through the net and fell back into the water.

“You…”

Nishimiya Shoko turned her head, looked directly into Yagami Hoshi's eyes, and mustered her courage.

“Yagami-san… I to you… to you…”

“Like.”

Chapter 557: Shoko's True Feelings, The Perfect Fireworks Display

When Nishimiya Shoko said these two words, she felt her heart almost jump out.

Just as she was waiting for Yagami Hoshi's reply, she heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Eh? Sister? You're here too.”

Nishimiya Shoko stood up and turned around, seeing her mother, Nishimiya Yaeko, also wearing a kimono, and her sister, Nishimiya Yuzuru, still dressed like a tomboy, standing there, and couldn't help but panic.

“Yuzuru… Mom… you too…”

“Oh? Yagami-nii is here too?”

Seeing Yagami Hoshi standing beside her sister, Nishimiya Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization, leaned close to her sister and whispered in her ear with a smile.

“No wonder you left after Mom helped you change your kimono, and didn't come to watch the fireworks with us… so you had a date with Yagami-nii, no wonder.”

“Yuzuru, don't…”

“Okay, okay, I didn't say anything. Besides…”

Nishimiya Yuzuru pointed to Nishimiya Yaeko standing there and said with a smile.

“Mom and I guessed it a long time ago. You dressed up so beautifully and even put your hair up, who else could you be going to see? Okay, I won't disturb you. Mom and I will go find a good spot first and wait to watch the fireworks later, bye-bye.”

After saying that, Nishimiya Yuzuru pulled her mother away. Before leaving, Nishimiya Yaeko specially nodded to Yagami Hoshi, as a greeting.

“By the way, what were you going to say to me just now?”

Hearing Yagami Hoshi ask her, Nishimiya Shoko opened her lips, but didn't have the courage to repeat the confession just now, and could only shake her head, her face a little lonely.

“It's… nothing…”

Just as Nishimiya Shoko's heart was filled with mixed feelings, she felt her hand being held by Yagami Hoshi, and a warm feeling came from it.

When she looked up, she met Yagami Hoshi's smiling eyes.

“I like you too, Shoko.”

At this moment, Nishimiya Shoko's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

“Re… really?”

Nishimiya Shoko raised her other hand and placed it on the hearing aid she was wearing, looking up at Yagami Hoshi, her eyes showing disbelief.

“You… you just said…”

“I like you too.”

Looking at Nishimiya Shoko's unbelievable appearance, Yagami Hoshi shook his head with a dumbfounded smile.

“What, is this a very outrageous thing?”

“No, it's not… it's just…”

Nishimiya Shoko's voice became a little trembling.

“I just didn't expect… didn't expect you to not reject me… but to…”

“How could I possibly reject you?”
