"Mm, please, go ahead!"

Saegusa Mayumi extended a hand, gesturing for them to feel free.

After the two left, Jumonji Katsuto also took his leave. As the head of the Federation of Clubs, he was a busy man, especially with the disturbance that had occurred today; he needed to return to headquarters immediately to handle the aftermath.

"Ah! I'm so tired."

Once everyone had left, Saegusa Mayumi no longer maintained her dignified image, collapsing directly onto the table. Her slender, smiling face was pressed flat against the surface.

"Indeed! But at least we can use this incident to push things forward."

"Originally, Mayumi, your proposals would have required some off-the-record maneuvering to be fully realized, but after today's events, you probably won't need so many underhanded tactics to get them passed."

Kudo Mitsunobu smiled at Saegusa Mayumi.

"But why did you propose to take on five people by yourself back there? That puts you at a disadvantage in negotiations, doesn't it?"

Kudo Mitsunobu asked, puzzled.

"Well! I've been quite good at negotiations since I was a child! If there are too many people, it actually hinders my train of thought."

"Never mind, you'll understand once you see it tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Jumonji didn't refute me, did he?"

"Then I shall look forward to seeing how you handle negotiations, Mayumi."

Kudo Mitsunobu's casual remark caused Saegusa Mayumi's face to flush with embarrassment, and even her small, delicate ears were dyed a faint pink.

"Honestly, you always say things that make me blush."

"However, this matter likely won't end so simply. Tomorrow will probably be when Blanche makes their move."

Kudo Mitsunobu ignored Saegusa Mayumi's shyness, speaking instead with a tone of anticipation.

"Ugh! Ugh! What a pain."

The second update is delivered on time as usual.

Every time I write a combat sequence, I get stuck repeatedly.

I type slowly as it is, and now 4k words a day takes at least four hours.

It's so frustrating.

Please vote, please follow.

The more I read the original work by Satou Tsutomu, the more confused I get. What is this madness? Trying to conceive a logical way for the second heroine to cross paths with Mitsunobu is making my head explode.

And gravity-based magic can actually be related to electronics? I'm stunned.

I want to invent some magic of my own, but I have no idea how to go about it.

Chapter 27: Not Even Qualified to Injure Her

"So, the meaning was that she didn't need anyone else, that she alone was enough?"

"Senior is truly eloquent!"

Watching from the podium as Saegusa Mayumi firmly suppressed the five people opposite her, Kudo Mitsunobu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"After all, Mayumi is very good at catching the loopholes in others' words! Plus, her cognitive processing ability is extremely strong. Unless the opponent's argument is flawless, numbers mean absolutely nothing to her."

Watanabe Mari said with a smile, her sense of pride as if the person on stage were herself.

"Apologies, please excuse me for a moment."

"What, you aren't going to finish watching?"

"I have something urgent to attend to. Senior Watanabe, please apologize to Senior Mayumi for me later!" Kudo Mitsunobu said, lifting his mobile terminal.

Kudo Mitsunobu walked quickly, and just as he reached the door, he opened his terminal, revealing a young and beautiful woman on the virtual display screen.

"Mitsunobu, the information you requested on the personnel related to Blanche has been sent to you."

"Should I say as expected of the Electronic Sorceress? To have tracked down the locations of Blanche's Japanese branches so quickly."

Fujibayashi Kyoko's brows furrowed as she heard how Kudo Mitsunobu addressed her. "Being so impolite to your sister, Mitsunobu, I'll have to teach you a lesson the next time we meet!"

As one of the few who knew the truth about Kudo Mitsunobu, Fujibayashi Kyoko had very complicated feelings toward this half-brother of hers from the beginning.

But after all, they were relatives with shared blood; even with complicated feelings, she couldn't help but want to get close to him.

"Cut the nonsense. It's been a year since I last saw you, hasn't it?"

Kudo Mitsunobu snorted coldly.

Even when he was young and didn't care to pay attention to this woman, she had tirelessly looked after him, so he still held her in high regard. At the very least, in his heart, Fujibayashi Kyoko belonged to the category of family he needed to protect.

"Oh my! Is Mitsunobu acting spoiled toward his sister? Complaining that I haven't come to see you in so long."

"I'm so sorry! Sister has been busy with official business and couldn't come to see you. Next time, I'll take leave and spend some quality time with you, Mitsunobu."

Fujibayashi Kyoko said in an exaggerated tone; she certainly didn't have her usual mature and intellectual air right now.

"That's clearly impossible, isn't it?"

Kudo Mitsunobu remained emotionally detached, as he had long since grown accustomed to this way of Fujibayashi Kyoko speaking to him.

If he were to strongly oppose her or engage in a verbal clash, she would only be more delighted, and he would merely be wasting his breath.

"But having said that, Mitsunobu, are you asking me to investigate this in order to deal with Japan's Blanche?"

Fujibayashi Kyoko's expression turned serious, shedding the frivolous demeanor she had worn just moments ago.

It had already been midnight when she received the message from Kudo Mitsunobu yesterday; she had been enjoying a relaxing bath at home after a long, busy day when the notification arrived.

Upon receiving the message, she had immediately tried to call him, only to find his phone turned off, though with her capabilities, she could have forcibly accessed the communication system at Kudo Mitsunobu's residence even if he had powered it down.

However, after a moment's thought, she realized it would likely be a futile effort, as even if she got through, Kudo Mitsunobu would not explain things to her immediately; left with no other choice, she had climbed out of her comfortable bathtub to conduct the investigation for Kudo Mitsunobu.

Since the data was now in hand, there was no point in Kudo Mitsunobu hiding his intentions.

He tilted his chin upward, "Indeed, it is time to teach these little mice a small lesson."
