The Young Lady's Good Fortune

Ultimately, the mystery surrounding this world is still too low. Even if strategic-level magic can achieve a high level of destructive power, that is not the true power of strategic-level magic itself.

Most strategic-level magic requires specific environments and the triggering of natural phenomena to achieve its power to destroy an army or military base.

For example, consider Sirius's [Heavy Metal Burst], the captain of the American Stars.

This magic transforms heavy metals into high-energy plasma, increasing the pressure and amplifying the electromagnetic repulsion between cations, thus spreading the magic over a wider area.

This magic, unless fired in an area with a significant amount of heavy metal, will not be as powerful as his [Atomic Ray].

Therefore, when creating his own strategic-level magic, he deliberately avoided magic with strict usage requirements and instead studied the current [Dragon Star Cluster].

What I never expected was that everything was ready, but the problem arose because the materials used in the production were not strong enough.

Even if the item is completed using the materials currently collected, it would probably only be a one-time item capable of being used to cast two spells.

"There's no other way. If we can't find suitable materials, we'll just make it first and finish the Magic Spear in the next world!"

"But I heard from Grandpa that Uichi is spending all his time in the lab every day trying to find suitable materials, and he doesn't even come home, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Kudo Mitsunobu rubbed his slightly swollen and sore eyes, deciding to stop thinking about these things. After all, these were limitations imposed by the world's environment, and there was no solution no matter how hard he tried.

"Um?"

Just as Kudo Mitsunobu put down his mobile device, he saw two familiar figures walking up the stairs. The boy saw him the moment he came up, whispered something to the girl he was with, and then the two of them walked over together.

"Tatsuya-kun, Shiba, would you like to go shopping together?"

Since they had already arrived, Kudo Mitsunobu quickly stood up to greet them.

"Yes, because Miyuki wanted to buy some new summer clothes, so I came to accompany him shopping."

Shiba Tatsuya nodded slightly in response to Kudo Mitsunobu.

He was dressed in the same formal suit as Kudo Mitsunobu today, as if he had just finished discussing business somewhere.

"So, Kudou- kun, are you shopping with the president today?"

Shiba Miyuki asked with a curious expression, after all, these two were one of the few high school couples around her, and she was quite interested in the progress of their relationship.

Shiba Miyuki's outfit was quite simple: a pure white knee-length dress with floral trim, and her long legs were completely covered by black stockings.

"Yes, Mayumi and her twin sister are inside. I'll wait outside."

"In that case, Miyuki, why don't you go in and stroll around with the president?"

"Koushu and I will just wait here!"

Shiba Tatsuya lowered his head and whispered to Shiba Miyuki.

"Yes, elder brother!"

The two, who sat down again, only discussed some technical problems with CAD and some school-related matters.

To be honest, Kudo Mitsunobu had always wanted to find time to talk to the Shiba Siblings about their hidden Yotsuba identity, but he hadn't been able to find the time because he was always busy.

However, it didn't seem appropriate to discuss such matters in the current setting, Kudo Mitsunobu refrained from speaking up.

"Tatsuya-kun, what are your plans for the rest of the summer?"

"Ha! Probably not! After all, Miyuki and I are just ordinary students! We usually stay home and rest during holidays, and going out shopping like this is just an occasional thing."

Kudo Mitsunobu was speechless as he watched Shiba Tatsuya lie to him with a straight face. As a direct descendant of the Yotsuba Family, how could he say he had plenty of free time? Before saying that, could you please take off the suit you're wearing?

Where would people choose to wear a suit when they have nothing to do? Most people would choose to wear casual clothes when they go out!

However, Kudo Mitsunobu did not intend to expose his lie here; he had mentioned that sentence earlier for another reason.

"Since you're Mayumi, how about we go to her private beach together?"

P. S.: Chapter 3 is here.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Young Lady's Good Fortune

"Shall we go to the chairman's private beach?"

"Won't this disturb you?"

Even Shiba Tatsuya found it hard to accept the sudden change of topic, and he himself was aware that he wasn't close enough with Kudo Mitsunobu and his group to go out together.

"No, besides, it's not just the two of us. The members also include Watanabe -senpai and Mayumi's two younger sisters."

"Ha..."

"Although I really want to accept the invitation right away, I still need to discuss it with my sister. I'll let you know my answer tonight!"

Shiba Tatsuya personally didn't want to agree, but this was his younger sister's precious high school life, and she might be interested in going to the beach with her friends.

"They're out."

Kudo Mitsunobu ended the conversation between the two and got up with Shiba Tatsuya to greet the group of girls.

Both of them naturally accepted the handbags from their sister and girlfriend.

As for the Nanagus twins' tote bags, Kudo Mitsunobu naturally didn't reach out to take them. If it were a bag containing clothes, he would naturally help carry the things.

But it was filled with underwear and swimwear, which was something he, as the brother-in-law, absolutely could not touch.

However, he now had another idea: to secretly see what kind of swimsuit Saegusa Mayumi had bought.

"Don't peek! Koushu, you said you'd reveal it later."

As if she could read Kudo Mitsunobu's mind, Saegusa Mayumi Kudo Mitsunobu snatched the bag from his hand and whispered something in his ear.

"Miyuki, it's really nice to meet you today."

Saegusa Izumi's eyes sparkled like stars, as if she had found her direction in life.

What happened to your sister?!

Kudo Mitsunobu watched as the figure circled around Shiba Miyuki, and the scene seemed somewhat familiar.

"It seems like I was captivated after seeing Miyuki just now."

"Izumi, don't be too enthusiastic, it will cause trouble for Miyuki -senpai."
