Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing this, before Oda Notto and Granny Godmother could be moved, Ye Xing immediately added.

"But, it's really rare that your little broken shop hasn't closed down yet."

Chapter 572: Kaguya Shinomiya's Last Knot

"Go, go, go, don't curse us."

Oda Notto waved his hand, annoyed.

"The way you say it, it's as if my shop relies on the existence of the inner world to make a fortune. With the disappearance of the inner world, as an exorcist, I would only feel gratified. Although exorcism commissions have indeed decreased a lot, it's just right that I'm getting old and should take a break."

"This little girl…"

Seeing Granny Godmother staring at her with a meaningful look, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, she knew that this old woman, who looked like a charlatan, was able to predict the future through tarot cards, a true psychic.

Could it be that I've been tainted by some misfortune?

"Mr. Oda, Granny Godmother, hello, my name is Kaguya Shinomiya."

Nervous as she was, Kaguya Shinomiya certainly wouldn't lack basic etiquette.

"Kaguya Shinomiya… Little Kaguya, you…"

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was listening to Granny Godmother's drawn-out words and feeling more and more nervous, she saw a smile on the other's face.

"Little Kaguya, you're so beautiful."

Hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya first breathed a sigh of relief, and then shook her head with a generous smile.

"You flatter me."

"Eh, this is not flattery."

Unlike the modest Kaguya Shinomiya, Ye Xing looked self-righteous.

"None of the members of our Transcendence Society are ugly, understand?"

Granny Godmother: "…I praised little Kaguya a few words, and you're already getting cocky here… Alright, alright, if there's nothing serious, hurry up and leave. Instead of wasting time with us two old folks who are about to be buried, go do something that you young people should be doing, don't wrong little Kaguya, leave quickly."

…

After leaving the shop and strolling down the street, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and sighed.

"Mr. Oda and that Granny Godmother… are both very interesting people, and their relationship with you… um… how should I describe it? It's not like a simple business partnership, more like a close family."

"After all, we're in a relationship where we saved the world together, isn't that normal?"

Ye Xing smiled nonchalantly, looking at the promotional sign at the entrance of the cinema, lost in thought.

"Um… which movie should we watch? Something scary?"

"Let's skip the horror, shall we?"

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head and sighed softly.

"After experiencing those things, I'm almost immune to supernatural horror phenomena. Besides, after all, it's the two of us watching a movie together, even if I can get into it, you'll just feel like you're watching a food documentary, right? There's no such thing as this kind of date."

"That's true."

Ye Xing nodded first, then smiled and said.

"In that case, why don't I take you to a place you've never been before again?"

"What place?"

Kaguya Shinomiya pretended to be ignorant and dazed on the surface, but in reality, her heart was already racing, and a thought unconsciously emerged in her mind.

Could it be…

Ye Xing is going to take me to that legendary…

Love hotel?

Not just love hotels, even spending the night in a hotel is something that Kaguya Shinomiya has never experienced before. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, and because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, she is more sensitive. So from childhood to adulthood, let alone going out to play with friends, she basically had no personal life. It was only after meeting Ye Xing and everyone in the Transcendence Society that she finally escaped that birdcage-like situation.

Could it be that today, I will…

"You'll know when you get there."

Ye Xing didn't seem to see Kaguya Shinomiya's thoughts, just took her hand, smiled and said, and then led her away towards the distant commercial street.

…

Half an hour later, inside a familiar dessert shop.

"So you're taking me to eat dessert…"

Seeing the strawberry cream cake in front of her, which looked very delicious and exquisite, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes looked a little complicated.

It's true that she likes to eat strawberry cream cake very much, but… what she wants to eat more today is something else, but… she can't say it clearly, especially now that the strange events have completely disappeared, there's no way to use the reason that she wants to improve her strength as an excuse to want to train.

Kaguya Shinomiya is a proud person. Becoming "family" with Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, and others through their relationship with Ye Xing is already the bottom line she can tolerate. But if she hasn't done something that others have done with Ye Xing, she will always feel a little uneasy and insecure.

Could it be… that I'm not attractive to Ye Xing?

"It's not that you're not attractive to me."

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking wildly, Ye Xing suddenly smiled and said.

"It's just that it's only morning, are you that impatient? Are you a pervert?"

"Eh?"

Hearing her thoughts being revealed in one word, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but be stunned, and then a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she stammered.

"You… how do you know what I'm thinking… This, do you still have the ability to read minds…"

"You could say it's mind reading."

Ye Xing replied with a smile.

"It's just that it should be called rational analysis."

"You're looking at your favorite strawberry cream cake, but you haven't touched it for a long time, just sitting there in a daze, and your expression looks a little complicated, which means you have something on your mind. And if it's about the Shinomiya Group, or strange events, you would definitely tell me directly. Since there isn't, then the only possibility is something that can make you feel troubled and difficult to say."

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her lips, lowered her head with a red face, and stirred the red tea in her cup to cover up the shyness and panic in her heart, and said softly.

"You… You can actually see through my thoughts with a single glance… But I can't understand what you're thinking… This is too unfair, it's practically cheating…"

"Oh, dear."

Night Star, with an air of superiority, stared at Kaguya Shinomiya with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and spoke softly.

"The eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family actually shows such an anxious expression…"

"How lovely."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked helpless.

"…Although I'm happy that you're calling me cute… I always feel that your expression and tone are a bit intentionally humiliating and sarcastic?"

"Oh, dear, the dignified current leader of the Shinomiya family is actually happy because I called her cute. How lovely."

Kaguya Shinomiya was almost laughed to death.

"Are you done yet?"

"Oh, dear, the dignified student council president of Shuchiin Academy only has this much tolerance? How lovely…"

"Cute my foot!"

Kaguya Shinomiya really didn't want to hear it a third time, so she reached out and flicked Night Star's forehead, then stabbed the spoon in her hand fiercely into the strawberry shortcake in front of her, and took a big bite.

"If you dare repeat that one more time, be careful I'll cut you with Dojigiri Yasutsuna."

"Forget it."

Faced with Kaguya Shinomiya's threat, Night Star simply waved his hand dismissively.

"With your strength, it's not even certain if Dojigiri Yasutsuna can break my defense."

"Tch, always bragging."

After Kaguya Shinomiya complained softly, she looked up and surveyed the surroundings, then glanced at the strawberry shortcake in front of her, and finally picked up her teacup and took a sip, before tucking her hair behind her ear, and said faintly with the demeanor of a noble lady.

"However… the dating spot you chose is quite nice. Whether it's the desserts or the black tea, or the environment here, it hasn't disappointed me."

Night Star smiled, still drinking his usual iced Coca-Cola.

"After all, it's a date with the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, so of course, I had to think it through carefully."

"Tch, what eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family… Are you being sarcastic again?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said this first, then said faintly.

"Besides, the Shinomiya family's public statement is that after my father's death, Shinomiya Unyo is in charge of the Shinomiya Group's operations. It wasn't said that I would participate in the daily operations of the Shinomiya Group."

Hearing this, Night Star asked curiously, "That's true, but I remember that you said at the time that you needed time to improve your strength and deal with strange events with us, so you chose to hand over most of your power to Shinomiya Unyo. Now that the Reverse Side has disappeared, don't you have any thoughts of taking back your power?"

"Not at all."

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head, looked at Night Star sitting opposite her, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

"So-called power and money are meaningless to me. Anyway, I can't spend all the money my father left me in this lifetime. Although Unyo's personality is very bad, it must be said that he is the most suitable candidate to inherit the Shinomiya Group."

"The most suitable?"

Night Star showed a smile: "More suitable than you?"

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly: "Yes, more suitable than me."

Hearing Kaguya Shinomiya say this, Night Star couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"With your competitive and arrogant personality, you would actually say that Shinomiya Unyo is more suitable to manage the Shinomiya Group than you. That's quite surprising."

"What's so surprising about that?"

Kaguya Shinomiya tucked her long black hair behind her ear and said faintly.

"Let's not talk about the fact that I'm still in high school and can't balance my studies and the group's operations. Even just from the perspective of my state of mind… After meeting you, my personality has become too soft, which doesn't meet the requirements of a Shinomiya family heir. However…"

Speaking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya put down the black tea cup in her hand, supported her cheeks with both hands, tilted her head slightly, stared at Night Star sitting opposite her, and a gentle smile appeared in her beautiful red eyes.

"The Kaguya that the Shinomiya family spent more than ten years cultivating… After meeting you, it only took a little over a year to become such an indecisive, hesitant, and overly gentle normal high school girl… You have to take responsibility."

"Of course."

Night Star nodded, emphasizing seriously.

"Not just you, but also Hayasaka and Fujiwara, I will take responsibility for all of you!"

"No…"

Hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned for several seconds before frowning.

"What are you talking about? I don't know what Chika is thinking, but… Ai doesn't… completely have any feelings for you in that regard, right?"

Night Star was noncommittal.

"Hopefully."

"What do you mean hopefully? Ai clearly…"

Halfway through speaking, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly stopped.

She carefully recalled Hayasaka Ai's recent behavior…

It seemed like something was a little off?

Attending the fireworks festival and wearing a kimono could be understood as wanting to create beautiful memories since it was her first time attending the fireworks festival with her good friend, which is herself.

But…

Kaguya Shinomiya remembered very clearly that when Night Star was handing out candy apples, not only Fujiwara Chika, but also Hayasaka Ai took one.

It could be said that Fujiwara Chika took the candy apple because she was thick-skinned and didn't care, or didn't know the meaning of the candy apple, but Hayasaka Ai clearly knew… but she still took it…

Speaking of which, Hayasaka Ai actually knew Night Star earlier than herself, and… Night Star also rescued Hayasaka Ai from her undercover identity. If Hayasaka Ai were to fall in love with Night Star, that's also possible… No, it's very possible!

"If that's the case…"

Night Star rested his chin on one hand, stared at the thoughtful Kaguya Shinomiya, and asked with a light smile.

"What are you planning to do? Break off all ties with Hayasaka?"

"How could that be possible."
