The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from the Demonic Inferiority Chapter 26

The tragic state of Yotsuba Miya at that time was enough to make even unrelated bystanders weep; her body was covered in scars, her clothes were in tatters, and most heartbreaking of all were her eyes, which were as hollow as death itself.

At that time, there was absolutely no desire for life in Yotsuba Miya's eyes.

It is said that the Yotsuba head at the time, Yotsuba Miya's father, was absolutely furious and had even requested the Japanese government to launch a war against the Asia-Pacific Union.

But that was an impossibility; the rescue of Yotsuba Miya was also intended to maintain Japan's global lead in modern magic.

A rescue mission wouldn't cause excessive attrition, but launching a war was an entirely different matter. Furthermore, while Japanese magicians were strong, their small numbers were a constraint on the nation's power.

The odds of losing a war against the Asia-Pacific Union were far higher than the odds of winning, so declaring war was simply out of the question.

After receiving the news, Yotsuba Genzo did not cause a scene; he accepted the reality of the situation with eerie calm.

Just when everyone thought the matter had come to an end, news broke the very next day that a group of Yotsuba Family magicians had collectively vanished.

Then, half a month later, the YD Cult of the Asia-Pacific Union announced its total collapse, and the remaining half of the Yotsuba magicians returned home.

Although the Yotsuba Family suffered heavy losses in this operation, their ability to confront a national state religion with the power of a single clan made them a taboo within the Japanese magical community.

"Moreover, with a miracle like you, Master Mitsunobu, perhaps the Yotsuba Family has found a way to create a perfect Adjusted Body!"

"After all, ever since that incident, the Yotsuba Family has been conducting research on Adjusted Bodies to bolster their combat strength," Kuki Ken added from the side, his expression blank as he pondered.

@God Purifying Demon Slayer @yip29 @Primordial Sun, thank you to the three of you for the tips.

As always, a huge thank you to the readers who have cast their recommendation votes and monthly tickets for me.

The click-through rate just won't go up; is my synopsis written that poorly?

The click-to-collection ratio is actually decent, though.

How about you guys help me come up with a synopsis? I'll see if I can apply to change it.

Finally, as always, please vote and follow.

Chapter 22: Just Follow Your Own Thoughts

"I already said I'm an exception!"

Of course, Kudo Mitsunobu didn't actually say these words out loud.

"Compared to Shiba Miyuki, I think Shiba Tatsuya is a point worth paying more attention to," Retsu Kudou said, gesturing vaguely toward Shiba Tatsuya.

"Yes, Grandfather. I also believe there is a major issue with Shiba Tatsuya."

"He clearly possesses great strength, yet he is always unwilling to reveal it."

"Given the temperament of a young man, even if he doesn't like to show off, he shouldn't constantly belittle himself. Shiba Tatsuya always gives me the feeling that he is hiding something."

Kudo Mitsunobu nodded, fully agreeing with Retsu Kudou's assessment.

"I heard you fought Shiba Tatsuya yesterday. What was your general impression?"

"Nothing particularly special, just that his combat experience is quite rich. He must engage in real-world combat frequently!"

Kudo Mitsunobu thought for a moment and continued, "However, according to his sister, his combat techniques were all learned from Master Kokonoe."

"Regarding that point, it is indeed as he claims."

"However, I have investigated one other thing, Ken."

Upon receiving the order, Kuki Ken immediately pulled up another file and presented it.

"His other name is Ooguro Ryuya."

"He serves in the National Defense Army 101st Battalion, Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion, as a Special Lieutenant."

"This is all that can be investigated at this stage. The details regarding his service within the military have not been fully uncovered yet," Kuki Ken said with a hint of regret.

Kudo Mitsunobu waved his hands repeatedly. "Please don't say that. It is already impressive that Grandfather Kuki could uncover this much in such a short time."

"Besides, I haven't had a direct conflict with the Shiba siblings yet, so there is no need to rush."

What Kudo Mitsunobu said was truly from the heart; to have the Shiba siblings stripped bare in just one afternoon was impressive, and it was only natural that Kuki Ken couldn't dig up the military side of things.

The file also clearly stated that Shiba Tatsuya's level of protection within the military was S-Class.

Although the Kudo Family's influence in the military was decent, it hadn't reached the level where they could browse S-Class files at will.

"Then, what attitude should I take toward the Shiba siblings, Grandfather?"

The fact that the Shiba siblings were hiding their true circumstances was enough to show that the Yotsuba Family was plotting something. On top of that, he knew his grandfather had always wanted to weaken the Yotsuba Family's strength to balance the relations between the Ten Master Clans.

Therefore, he wanted to know Retsu Kudou's thoughts on the Shiba siblings to decide his own stance toward them.

"That is..."

Retsu Kudou's fingers tapped against the armrest of his chair, the fingers and wood producing a crisp sound.

"Mitsunobu, you should just treat them according to your own thoughts."

"If you feel they are worth associating with, then it is perfectly fine for you to befriend them."

"You don't need to worry too much about the thoughts of us adults."

Retsu Kudou smiled kindly. His grandson was excellent and intelligent, even as a magician and the next head of the Kudo Family.

He still hoped that his grandson could enjoy a wonderful high school life before having to take on these tiresome responsibilities.

A helpless smile tugged at the corners of Kudo Mitsunobu's mouth; it was precisely because of Retsu Kudou's meticulous care that he had gradually lowered his guard and accepted the fact that Retsu Kudou was his family.

"I understand. I will give it serious consideration myself."

After cutting the communication with Retsu Kudou, Kudo Mitsunobu slumped directly onto the sofa. Even for him, receiving such a massive amount of information all at once was difficult to process.

"I'll see how things go and have a talk with those siblings when the time comes! I get the feeling there might be room for maneuver between them and the Yotsuba Family."

Kudo Mitsunobu thought it over and made his decision.

"Of course, the details of any negotiation will have to wait until Grandfather uncovers more specific information."

The idle days did not last long; today, Kudo Mitsunobu heard something quite interesting in the classroom—so interesting that he felt an urge to use acceleration magic right then and there to rush to the Student Council room and seek the truth.
