The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from Demonic Inferiority Chapter 22

"Greetings, Senior. My name is Saegusa Izumi. Thank you so much for taking care of my sister."

The other girl, whose hair was slightly longer, was the first to greet him. Her smile was sweet, clearly marking her as someone who laughed often.

"Alright, Kasumi, greet him properly." Seeing that Saegusa Kasumi still seemed unwilling to speak, Saegusa Mayumi slapped her on the head.

"Saegusa Kasumi. Please treat me well."

Perhaps pressured by her sister, Saegusa Kasumi spoke with clear reluctance.

"I am Kudo Mitsunobu. However, it isn't me taking care of your sister; it should be the other way around—she has taken great care of me."

Kudo Mitsunobu didn't mind Saegusa Kasumi's attitude, greeting the two sisters with a kind demeanor.

"Come to think of it, are you heading back now, Senior? Won't you come inside for a while?" Saegusa Izumi asked with interest.

After all, this was the first time she had seen her sister get so close to a boy her own age, so she had a mountain of questions she wanted answered.

This was also the reason for Saegusa Kasumi's sudden attitude; she was deeply fond of her sister and perhaps a bit too obsessed with her.

That was why she couldn't stand seeing a man get so close to her sister so suddenly.

"Well, I shall take my leave for today. I will find a time to pay a formal visit." Kudo Mitsunobu nodded.

He hadn't intended to meet anyone from the Saegusa Family in the first place. Meeting the sisters was fine, but if he ran into the Senior's father, he would have been forced to go inside regardless.

"Is that so? Then when you visit next time, we will be sure to host you properly."

Saegusa Izumi said politely. She wasn't in a rush to uncover the truth; she would have plenty of time to interrogate her sister tonight anyway.

As she thought about it, Saegusa Izumi's expression grew increasingly twisted, as if she could already picture her sister's shamed and indignant face during the interrogation later.

Saegusa Mayumi couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

"Hurry up and leave already. I don't want to see you."

Saegusa Kasumi was muttering under her breath again.

"Kasumi?"

Saegusa Mayumi's voice rose an entire octave.

Startled, Saegusa Kasumi shrank her neck. "Goodbye, Senior."

"That's how it is. I'm sorry for the trouble today, Mitsunobu-kun. Please get some rest when you get home! You must be exhausted."

After Saegusa Mayumi finished speaking, she pulled the two sisters toward the house. He could still see the child named Saegusa Izumi asking Saegusa Mayumi questions the entire way.

It caused Saegusa Mayumi's face to turn bright red, just like a ripe tomato, while Saegusa Kasumi remained huffy, gesturing wildly.

With a roar from the motorcycle and a puff of thick smoke from the exhaust, Kudo Mitsunobu and his bike vanished in the next second.

By the time Kudo Mitsunobu returned home, the sky had turned completely gray; it had been a very busy day, after all.

"Just thinking about it makes me tired!"

Kudo Mitsunobu had no desire to cook for himself today. After putting the ingredients from the fridge into the automatic cooking machine, he went to take a shower.

Usually, he didn't care much for food made by the automatic cooking machine, even though the taste was no worse than what a hotel chef could produce.

For some reason, he felt that this method of preparation lacked a certain human touch. After showering and eating a rather refined dinner, Kudo Mitsunobu prepared to continue his work for the day.

Placing his [Night] on the adjustment table, he attempted to incorporate the magic sequence for movement-type magic into the fission rounds he had used in the training room.

He had a complete concept for this step and was confident he could finish the construction tonight. However, upgrading this magic to A-rank wasn't his primary goal.

His ultimate goal was to add release-type magic, allowing the magic of all four systems to operate in sequence, eventually becoming his first unique strategic-class magic.

The second update is here, still asking for votes and follows.

Tomorrow's two updates will be posted in the evening because I signed the contract in the wrong place today due to a brain fart. I'll re-sign tomorrow and post later to keep my perfect attendance record.

Thank you all.

Chapter 19: I Don't Mind Making an Extra Portion

It was noon again, and they were in the familiar Student Council room.

The people present hadn't changed: five beautiful girls with distinct charms, one dashing young man, and, well, one guy who looked as ordinary as a passerby.

"Tatsuya-kun, you really are lucky! Is that a handmade bento from your sister today?"

Kudo Mitsunobu looked at the two identical bento boxes across from him, filled with two fried shrimp, boiled broccoli, beef steak, and rolled omelets.

One look at the bento Shiba Miyuki prepared showed she had carefully considered nutritional balance. Of course, it also looked delicious; even though it had gone cold, he could smell the aroma from across the table.

"Yes. After seeing the bento Watanabe-senpai brought last time, Miyuki thought it would be nice to bring bento to school as well," Shiba Tatsuya said calmly. Conversely, Shiba Miyuki had already fallen into a state of bashfulness at the words "Tatsuya-kun, you really are lucky."

"But you brought your own bento today, too! Did you make it yourself?"

Shiba Tatsuya looked at the bento box in front of Kudo Mitsunobu.

"Eh? Eh? Mitsunobu-kun, you can cook too?" Saegusa Mayumi, sitting next to Kudo Mitsunobu, snatched the bento box in front of her before he could react.

"Come, come, let me see how well you did."

It was a square box about 20cm in size, featuring two tiers that looked quite substantial at a glance.

He opened the lid.

A variety of dishes radiated an alluring sheen; the first layer was neatly arranged with side dishes, while the second layer was filled with various styles of nigiri sushi.

Gulp!

Whether it was an illusion or a hallucination, Kudo Mitsunobu seemed to hear someone swallowing their saliva.

"Mitsunobu-kun, is your culinary skill actually this high?"

Saegusa Mayumi looked at Kudo Mitsunobu with a face full of surprise; even for her, someone who often dined at top-rated restaurants, the dishes before her stirred an irresistible urge to dig in.

Just how many more surprises did this boy have in store for her!
