Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"I can't do dinner, but if it's the bento boxes during the school term, you can leave it to me."

"Really? Tohka-nee?"

Yurigawa Hana, the foodie, immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this, excitedly saying.

"That's great! Tohka-nee's cooking is delicious, and there are even after-meal puddings! Wow, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Seeing Yurigawa Hana's excited appearance, Sakurajima Mai shook her head with a helpless smile.

"Hana, how fickle... No, wait, I haven't even left yet, and you're already looking forward to Tohka-nee's cooking?"

Although Sakurajima Mai said this, she clearly wasn't really angry. On one hand, she had already planned to start a talent agency after graduation, and she definitely wouldn't have time to prepare bento boxes for the Super Quantum Mechanics Club members then.

On the other hand, although Sakurajima Mai was very confident in her cooking skills, Komadori Yuuka is, after all, a professional Western cuisine chef. As the saying goes, experts specialize in their fields, and she certainly couldn't compete with Komadori Yuuka in terms of cooking skills.

Besides...

Komadori Yuuka isn't an outsider anyway, so what's there to compete about?

"Mai-senpai, congratulations on graduating."

Shinomiya Kaguya, who wasn't a student of Soubu High School but belonged to Shuchiin Academy, also attended Soubu High School's graduation ceremony today.

"Now that you've graduated and are preparing to officially start a talent agency, the one acquired by the Shinomiya Group, the agency that Toyohama-san belongs to, will be transferred directly to your name. Although this agency isn't very large, it will save you a lot of procedures and trouble in setting up a new company."

Sakurajima Mai didn't stand on ceremony with Shinomiya Kaguya but nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, thanks, Kaguya."

At this point, there was no need for them to be polite with each other. Although Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't a student of Soubu High School and wasn't strictly a member of the Super Quantum Mechanics Investigation and Research Club, she was also a psychic and had helped save the world. Sakurajima Mai naturally wouldn't refuse her kindness out of embarrassment.

"Eh? Sis, are you going to become the head of our company? This..."

Noticing Toyohama Nodoka's hesitant expression, Sakurajima Mai, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, naturally guessed her sister's concerns and comforted her with a smile.

"Don't worry. Even if I take over the agency you belong to, I'll only be planning the general direction of future development. The specific responsibilities will still be handled by Ms. Horiguchi Chiharu. Once I'm familiar with the agency's operations and have accumulated enough experience, I'll start a new agency under my own name, that is, as former idol actress Sakurajima Mai. The groups signed to your agency, that is, the members of your idol group, won't know that the ownership of the company has been transferred to my name, so don't worry."

"That's good."

Toyohama Nodoka breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her sister had already considered this aspect of the impact.

Imagine this.

If you were a rookie, up-and-coming member of a young idol group after the last Tokyo concert, how would you feel if you suddenly heard that the company's boss had become another member's sister?

Even the most thick-skinned person would inevitably wonder if Toyohama Nodoka would receive any special treatment because of this. Of course, given the personalities of Toyohama Nodoka and Sakurajima Mai, they wouldn't do anything like nepotism. But the most important impact is that if the other members knew about this, then even if Toyohama Nodoka received any opportunities in the future due to her own excellent talent as an idol, they would suspect that it was actually because she was the company owner's sister.

Toyohama Nodoka liked her idol group very much and didn't plan to go solo for the time being. She also didn't want outsiders to think that she was a mediocre person who could only succeed by relying on her sister Sakurajima Mai's connections, so she naturally wanted to avoid this situation as much as possible.

"By the way, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered..."

Toyohama Nodoka said thoughtfully.

"I'm going to take a week off to go to Tokyo and practice and coordinate with everyone."

Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but ask curiously upon hearing this.

"Eh? Nodoka, are you going to have another concert?"

"That's not it."

Toyohama Nodoka waved her hand and replied with a smile.

"The members of our team are all students. During the school term, we definitely don't have time to hold any live concerts. However, in order to maintain our chemistry and avoid getting rusty from not training for too long, we still have to get together to train from time to time. Originally, if I was studying in Tokyo, I would only need to go after school, but now that I've transferred to Soubu High School, I can't just take the train to Tokyo after school every day, practice, and then come back, so... I can only take a week off."

"Tokyo..."

Yuigahama Yui frowned slightly, muttering.

"But... the final exams are coming up soon. If you go to practice at this time... what will you do if you fail...?"

Toyohama Nodoka was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, hesitating.

"Eh? Why would I fail?"

Yuigahama Yui said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Because your grades aren't good to begin with..."

"Wait a minute..."

Toyohama Nodoka raised her hand, interrupting Yuigahama Yui's words.

"Why do you think... my grades aren't good?"

"Eh?"

Yuigahama Yui was also stunned.

"Your grades... are good?"

Listening to the two's labored conversation, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but interrupt from the side, saying in a slightly triumphant and boastful tone.

"Don't look at Nodoka like this, but her grades are actually very good. Before becoming an idol, she was at the top of her grade. Even though becoming an idol has delayed her studies somewhat, she's still in the top 10% of her grade and has nothing to do with failing."

"Ah? Really!?"

Seeing Yuigahama Yui's shocked expression and hearing her sister Sakurajima Mai's words, Toyohama Nodoka sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"No... why do you think my grades are so bad...? And what do you mean by 'don't look at me like this'... Do you guys subconsciously think that... because my clothes are more fashionable and flashy... I'm the kind of bad student who doesn't study properly...? I'm determined to become a highly educated idol..."

It's no wonder that the Super Quantum Mechanics Club members would assume that Toyohama Nodoka's grades weren't very good, after all, her clothes were very fashionable, and she put a lot of thought into coordinating them, which could be called "gorgeous", and in the Super Quantum Mechanics Investigation and Research Club, there were two others with Toyohama Nodoka's style of dress.

Yuigahama Yui and Kitagawa Marin, who were also in the fashionable gyaru group.

These two... were also known as the Super Quantum Mechanics Club's failing duo.

Of course, Touma Kazusa, who always occupied the bottom spot in the grade, wasn't included in the statistics, after all, she didn't care about failing or not, and didn't even care about getting a high school diploma. Her mother, Touma Youko, had the same idea.

Compared to the so-called high school diploma, Touma Youko just wanted Touma Kazusa to finish three years of high school and grow a little. After all, with Touma Kazusa's piano talent, she wouldn't need to go to college in the future. Moreover, after Touma Kazusa joined the Super Quantum Mechanics Club and had a lot of friends and Yozora as her lover, Touma Youko was already satisfied and wouldn't have any so-called requirements for her daughter's grades anymore.

"Betrayal... this is betrayal..."

Yuigahama Yui looked cute with a tearful expression, grabbing Kitagawa Marin's arm and complaining.

"Marin, why? Why do only the two of us need tutoring before every exam? It's unfair, it's unfair!"

Kitagawa Marin smiled awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Um... Yui... my last exam results... also ranked in the top hundred in the grade..."

Chapter 585: A Trip to Tokyo with Toyohama Nodoka

Yuigahama Yui was stunned, her eyes losing their sparkle.

"Haimu, you too..."

Futaba Rio approached, raising her hand to pat Yuigahama Yui's shoulder, a hint of suppressed laughter creeping into her usually indifferent tone.

"So now, you're the only underachiever left in our club."

"How could this happen..."

Yuigahama Yui was utterly despondent, turning her gaze to Touma Kazusa, who was standing with Ogiso Setsuna, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing at all.

If she had to drag Touma Kazusa along to prove that she wasn't the only underachiever in the SOS Brigade, that would be even more shameful and miserable than being the only underachiever in the SOS Brigade, right!?

"So next, you should still study hard and diligently."

Sakurajima Mai first said this, then looked at Yozora and Toyohama Nodoka, thoughtfully.

"Well... Nodoka, you don't have any powers after all. Although the reverse world has disappeared now, I'm still a little worried about you going to Tokyo alone. After all, you have some fame now, and what if you run into some kind of fanatic fan...? How about this, Yozora, you also take a week off and accompany Nodoka to Tokyo, and then come back together."

Yozora didn't say much, and simply nodded.

"Okay."

Yuigahama Yui heard this, her eyes revealing envy, and muttered softly.

"I want to go to Tokyo to play too..."

Sakurajima Mai glanced at her and said faintly.

"If you were like Yozora, where your grades wouldn't be affected whether you studied or not, you could go with us. Or, if you're not afraid of your aunt nagging you and decide to give up completely, I wouldn't mind you going with us either."

"This..."

Recalling the chanting attacks of her mother, the Big Dumpling, Yuigahama Yui immediately waved her hand.

"Forget it, forget it. In order to have a peaceful winter vacation, I'll honestly study hard, or else the whole vacation won't be quiet."

Although Yuigahama Yui said this, the SOS Brigade members who had met her mother knew that Yuigahama Yui's mother was actually similar in personality to Yuigahama Yui, both being the kind of carefree and gentle-spoken person, especially towards Yuigahama Yui. Even if she failed her final exams, she wouldn't criticize her.

In the final analysis, Yuigahama Yui is a very filial child and doesn't want her mother to worry about her because she failed her exams.

"If that's the case, then I..."

Just as Touma Kazusa was about to say that she would always be the last in the grade with all subjects failing, so even if she went to Tokyo with Toyohama Nodoka, it wouldn't affect her grades, Ogiso Setsuna next to her tugged at her sleeve and lowered her voice.

"Kazusa, shush."

Although Touma Kazusa didn't understand why Ogiso Setsuna wouldn't let her speak, she nodded since her friend had said so, and said in a flat tone.

"Oh."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems as if it were fate, there would always be a close friend with high emotional intelligence beside every member of the SOS Brigade with relatively low emotional intelligence.

Like Touma Kazusa, who completely couldn't read the atmosphere, had Ogiso Setsuna, known as the strongest songstress angel of Soubu High School. Yukinoshita Yukino, who had the ability to read the surrounding atmosphere, but completely didn't read it due to her personality and inner knots, and sometimes even deliberately went against it out of stubbornness, had the very cute Yuigahama Yui. Futaba Rio, who had a taciturn personality, had the poker-faced Yotsuya Miko... Oh, let's not mention the last pair, these two belonged to the category of negative times negative equals positive.

In short, Ogiso Setsuna had already understood what Touma Kazusa didn't understand.

Worried about her sister's safety alone in Tokyo?

Perhaps that's part of the reason, but if that were the case... couldn't they just let Enmusubi-no-Kami, Hasshaku-sama, Tamamo-no-Mae, Kuchisake-onna, Menma, these spiritual members who usually have nothing to do and just loiter around the streets every day, go?

If that didn't work, at least they should send a female member as well, after all, Toyohama Nodoka has a high profile now, a member of a popular girl idol group. If someone sees her traveling with a male of the same age, it would inevitably cause a public opinion storm, right?

So... Sakurajima Mai is doing it on purpose.

She's creating opportunities for her sister and Yozora to be alone. After all, Toyohama Nodoka isn't the kind of person who can boldly launch an attack on Yozora even when other girls are present. In short, she's not brave enough.

Toyohama Nodoka looked at Yozora standing there, appearing very calm and composed, but her hands subconsciously played with the small ornaments hanging on her school uniform skirt.

"Well... if he doesn't mind the trouble... of course, I don't mind either. Of course, there's no other meaning, just to not let you worry, sister. After all, you just graduated and are still preparing for the handover procedures of the agency, so you should be quite busy..."

The great god of harems once said a word.

When a beautiful girl says "Of course, there's no other meaning," then you do have another meaning.

However, this experience is limited to those with tsundere attributes, such as Toyohama Nodoka, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Touma Kazusa, Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Going to Tokyo again? Oh, right, speaking of which, Yagami Light also graduated early? Oh, it's a pity. If Mai-senpai hadn't also graduated today, and the time didn't clash, I would have really wanted to attend his graduation ceremony. What a pity, such a pity."

Seeing Yozora looking so emotional, full of regret, Futaba Rio raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, saying faintly.

"Yagami Light's school graduation time is different from Soubu High School's. His graduation ceremony is the day after tomorrow. You happen to be going to Tokyo with Nodoka, so you can make it in time to attend."

Yozora pretended to be confused.

"Ah? What? Hello, hello, the signal is bad, I can't hear what you're saying, I'll hang up first."

Seeing Yozora, who was clearly talking face-to-face, yet used this way of pretending that the signal was bad during a phone call to perfunctorily get by, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No matter what, Yagami Light is considered our companion and your friend, why don't you want to attend his graduation ceremony so much?"

Hearing this question, Yozora sighed slightly, somewhat helplessly.

"Isn't it because after going to Tokyo last time to participate in the National High School Tennis Tournament, those nosy reporters took photos of me and him sitting in the players' rest area chatting, and then posted a bunch of deliberately disgusting news there. It was originally just nonsense, and no one would really believe it, but then a reporter ran to Yagami Light's school to interview him, and then I heard about how he has countless pursuers, but he ruthlessly rejected them all. It made me and him seem like we're really gay, I really can't stand it."

"Yozora-kun, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Totsuka Saika's voice, Yozora turned around, looking at the other party with a sweet smile, and said nonchalantly.

"Oh, it's Saika. It's nothing, we were just saying that Yagami Light is gay."

"Eh? Yagami-kun... is that kind of person!?!"

Seeing Totsuka Saika looking so shocked and unbelievable, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but retort.

"Don't deliberately tease Totsuka-kun... Didn't you just say that it was all those reporters writing nonsense?"

Yozora justified himself with confidence.

"Saying that I'm gay, that's of course nonsense, but to say that Yagami Light is gay, that's a reasonable inference based on investigation and research."
