The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from Demonic Inferiority Chapter 41

Kudo Mitsunobu nodded.

"Although it has been frozen into a block of ice, I think that with Ichijo Masaki's ability, it should be quite easy for him to detonate the water molecules within that solid ice. That is why he will definitely participate in this event, as it best showcases his family's signature magic."

"When the time comes, I will use a counter-magic of the same specifications to perfectly suppress him. I believe there shouldn't be any problems if I do that."

Saegusa Mayumi couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Ichijo Masaki now. It was supposed to be a stage where he could truly shine, yet now there was a freak who was constantly looking for ways to crush him.

Thinking of this, Saegusa Mayumi looked at Kudo Mitsunobu with a puzzled expression.

"I recall that the Kudo Family doesn't have any grievances with the Ichijo Family, right? Or is it that you have some personal grudge against him?"

"How could there be a grudge? This is nothing more than normal competition. Those who lack the strength will naturally fade away."

Kudo Mitsunobu was also somewhat amused by Saegusa Mayumi's sudden flight of fancy.

"Who is currently at the Student Council?"

The members of the Student Council were now responsible for overseeing most of the matters regarding the Nine Schools Competition, such as the allocation of personnel and events, hotel accommodations, the recruitment of technical staff, and the pep rally.

However, since it was summer vacation and the Student Council members were almost all participants in the Nine Schools Competition, their attendance at the Student Council office was not as fixed as usual.

"Mari sent me a message just now saying that everyone else has already arrived, except for the two of us."

Saegusa Mayumi spoke unhurriedly, and her walking pace showed no signs of quickening. This woman felt absolutely no guilt about the fact that the people in the Student Council were waiting for her.

Of course, Kudo Mitsunobu had no intention of speeding up either, because as mentioned before, in a certain sense, he was the same kind of person as Saegusa Mayumi.

In front of strangers or people they were meeting for the first time, they would naturally maintain a noble and polite appearance, but in front of those they were familiar and close with, their slightly wicked personalities would be revealed without reservation.

"By the way, it's already noon. Should we head to the cafeteria to grab some food first?"

"I woke up a bit late this morning and didn't cook for myself."

"Oh my!"

Saegusa Mayumi clapped her hands together, putting on an expression of pure luck.

"That works out perfectly! I brought two bento boxes; would you like to taste my cooking?"

After saying this, Saegusa Mayumi opened her handbag, revealing two very exquisite bento boxes.

"Did you really make these?"

Kudo Mitsunobu still couldn't believe his ears, because he had known Saegusa Mayumi for three months, yet he had never once seen her bring a homemade bento.

Usually, she would just eat food from the cafeteria or meals prepared by her family's maids.

"Of course it's a bento I made myself! I spent quite a long time preparing it."

Saegusa Mayumi was still a little annoyed. She had gone through the trouble of working hard all morning for the person she liked, only for him to question whether she had actually made it.

It was a total waste of her good intentions.

"No, no, no, I'm not questioning that."

"I was just thinking that if you made it yourself, I should probably take a stomach pill first just in case."

"Is that so!"

Saegusa Mayumi's slight gloom dissipated very quickly.

"Take a stomach pill just in case?"

Having realized what he meant, Saegusa Mayumi immediately placed her small hand under Kudo Mitsunobu's ribs. "Would you mind repeating what you just said? I didn't quite hear you clearly!"

"No, I said I'm very much looking forward to your cooking, Mayumi."

"Only an idiot would repeat that!"

Kudo Mitsunobu shook his head frantically, as he could already feel the soft flesh at his waist being twisted several times. The stinging pain was making it hard for him to keep from crying out.

"Is that so! That's good then!"

Saegusa Mayumi nodded with satisfaction and withdrew her hand.

Asking for votes and follows once again.

Thank you all.

The growth in follows today hasn't actually been very good, sigh.

I am working hard to stockpile chapters every day now, and I will do my best to release a massive update when the book officially launches.

Thank you all for your support.

Chapter 35: Shortage of Technicians

When the two arrived at the Student Council room, everyone had already started eating lunch. Saegusa Mayumi took the larger bento box out of her handbag and handed it to Kudo Mitsunobu.

After Kudo Mitsunobu took the bento box, he opened it immediately. It wasn't the kind of meal that was exquisite to the point of luxury; it was just ordinary fried shrimp, a hamburger patty, boiled vegetables, and a few hand-pressed rice balls.

Hmm, it really was made by Mayumi herself, Kudo Mitsunobu muttered to himself.

Because he had seen the bentos Saegusa Mayumi usually brought from home, and just from the appearance alone, the bento she gave him this time was vastly different from the previous ones.

Kudo Mitsunobu picked up a golden fried shrimp and slowly placed it into his mouth, and it immediately gave him an unexpected surprise.

Before eating, he had actually thought that Saegusa Mayumi might be deliberately pranking him by adding crazy ingredients into the bento!

The result was unexpectedly decent, with a flavor that reached the standard of an average home-cooked meal. It couldn't be called delicious, but it served its purpose well enough to fill one's stomach.

"Hey, say something about how it tastes!"

Saegusa Mayumi glared at Kudo Mitsunobu with a look of dissatisfaction; she had been staring at him for quite a while now.

"Hmm, it's actually quite good."

Kudo Mitsunobu still gave Saegusa Mayumi a favorable review. After all, when a young lady who had never lifted a finger in the kitchen went out of her way to make a bento for you, you had to eat it with gratitude even if it tasted terrible.

Besides, what Saegusa Mayumi had made was actually not bad at all, so giving it a favorable review wasn't exactly an exaggeration.

"What is that supposed to mean!"

"If you two want to flirt, could you please find a secluded spot after school?"
