An Unexpected Short-Term Exchange Student

Mayumi didn't react at first, but after a while, she seemed to realize something and blushed, exclaiming, "Eh?!!!"

She quickly moved away from Mahiro, saying, "Dame-yo, dame-dame, absolutely not now! Mari's definitely waiting outside right now, we absolutely can't do that again! And, and if it happens again... I won't have the energy to attend all my classes today..."

Seeing Mayumi's flustered and helpless state, Mahiro found it extremely cute.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sorry, I was just joking."

He also knew that, given Mayumi's personality, even if she verbally rejected him, she would eventually give in if he was firm.

So he was just making a little joke.

"Although it was a joke, what I really wanted to give you was a DNA sample, just in the form of a medicine."

"...?"

Mayumi had just breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing him say that, Mayumi was still somewhat confused.

Until she saw a five-centimeter-long syringe lying tightly in Mahiro's Mahiro hand.

"This is...?"

"This is AGV Serum developed by a doctor friend of mine. It can not only enhance physical fitness, but also increase magical power and brain processing ability. It can even prolong life and improve skin complexion! Do you want to try it?"

Enhance magical power, strengthen physical fitness, and improve brain processing ability.

It can be said that each of these items has a fatal attraction for magicians.

Physical fitness means that one's body will not become weak due to immense magical power, just like Goze Mio, who needs to be a strategic-level mage but has to sit in a wheelchair because of her weak body.

Magic power, on the other hand, means the ability to use higher-level magic.

As for computing power, that means it can rewrite intelligence more precisely, and even perform multi-threaded operations!

Not to mention that it even mentioned beauty and skincare at the end!

This is incredibly attractive to women!

As a result, she didn't notice the Mahiro's face at all.

So, Mari, who was lying by the door listening for the sounds, was pierced in the eardrums by a loud scream that suddenly came from inside.

She rubbed her slightly sore ear, staring incredulously at the door of the Student Council room, and muttered to herself:

"... Is Mayumi that open-minded?"

"And... is Mahiro -kun's... that good too?"

Gradually, a blush spread across Mari's face, completely rosy.

Chapter 96 The Unexpected Short-Term Exchange Student (5.3K)

The Enibliss Cafe is located in the nearby train station area.

A sign reading "Private Session Today" hangs on the classic European-style brown wooden door.

At the bar, the twilight light shone through the blinds onto the old floor.

As the steam rose, accompanied by a soothing melody, a rich aroma of coffee beans quietly spread through the air.

The only table in the café was now noisy, which seemed out of place in the quiet and elegant environment.

"Why did you, woman, follow us here?!"

Erika crossed her arms over her chest, her fiery red ponytail swaying back and forth in response to her displeasure.

The reason she was so unhappy was simple: Mari Watanabe was sitting opposite her, elegantly sipping her rich coffee.

Why can't I come?

Mari put down his cup, looked at Erika across from him who seemed unhappy, and smiled slightly while resting his chin on his hand, "Mayumi is my good friend, and Mahiro is Mayumi's boyfriend. Not to mention, Mahiro was once my CAD engineer, so I have every right to sit here."

"Tch, so that means Xiangxiang is Yotsuba Clan's fiancée!"

"Mayumi is the same way in this respect."

The two were at loggerheads, but it felt more like Mari was flirting with Erika.

"Mari!"

"Ellie!"

Sayaka and Mayumi, who were sitting together at that moment, spoke up together to stop the two of them.

During the month that Mahiro, Sayaka remained absent-minded, but she and Mayumi inexplicably became friends.

"Mahiro- nii is as popular as ever."

Upon seeing this, Miyuki covered her mouth and chuckled softly, though the emotions swirling deep within her eyes were rather intriguing.

"Erica-chan... it's probably better if we don't argue. After all, she's still my senior, and the Public Morals Committee Chair..."

Mizuki raised her hand somewhat flusteredly, joining in to persuade Erika.

Erika, however, scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, so what?"

In Erika's eyes, Mari Watanabe was not her senior, but a disciple of the Chiba Dojo.

In terms of seniority and rank, Mari Watanabe was considerably lower than her.

"It's alright, Shibata- senpai, I won't take it to heart," Mari Watanabe said.

"Um... I think we should get down to business now, right?"

"That's right, after all, it's rare for us to sit together, and we're all here for the Yotsuba Clan's sake."

Honoka suggested it, and Kitayama Shizuku echoed her sentiment.

Hearing them say that, Erika, who was about to say something, swallowed her words.

Although she disliked Mari Watanabe, they were right; the reason she was sitting here was to find out what Yotsuba Mahiro up to over the past month.

So the home ground was returned to Mahiro.

The others also turned their attention to him.

"It's my turn already?"

Mahiro felt the expectant gazes around him, so he put down his cup and smiled slightly, "Since everyone wants to know, then I'll tell you."

"Actually, to you it was only a month since I left, but for me it felt like two and a half years..."

He quietly recounted his experiences while immersing himself in the aroma of coffee.

This is the third time Mahiro has mentioned the other world.

This includes information about the Cursed Children, Gastrea Virus, and Gastrea, as well as numerous encounters and the final outcome.

The expressions on their faces varied greatly upon hearing this.

From initial surprise and shock, to a period of calm and silence, it has finally evolved into the current state of complexity.

"... So, Yotsuba Clan destroyed the world for the sake of those children?"

"Yes, that's right."

When asked by Mizuki, he nodded affirmatively, without any intention of hiding anything; in fact, hiding anything would have been pointless.

Even after receiving a positive answer, Mizuki couldn't feel any sense of reality.

"... It sounds like the other world is very dangerous..."

"It feels like a fairy tale from a book."

Kitayama Shizuku remained calm as always, while Honoka looked at him with a worried expression.

As for the others, they mostly remained silent. Like Mizuki, they also felt no sense of reality after listening to the story.

It's like making up a story.

But Mayumi was certain that it was true.

Because the medicine that Mahiro injected her with did indeed have those effects, and she was certain that it was something that this world could not possibly produce.

Erika, however, was looking at him with a playful expression, teasingly saying:

"If that's the case, Yotsuba Clan -kun, you've brought all the girls you've met back here, right? Xiangxiang~ You'd better try harder, or your Mahiro might get stolen away!"

"Erika!"

Sayaka blushed and said coquettishly to Erika.

"Yeah, I agree with that too. Mayumi, you should do your best too." As her best friend, Mari nudged Mayumi lightly with her elbow, teasing her in return.

"Ugh... heartless playboy."

Mayumi also realized what was happening and looked at Mahiro with a hint of resentment.

However, despite this, she was actually quite content, at least Mahiro's feelings for her hadn't changed.

Moreover, she knew that with the abilities that Mahiro had demonstrated, he would definitely have no shortage of either a wife or a lover in the future.

Even without this trip to another world, countless families in this world would offer their eligible daughters to Mahiro.

It's all just to obtain that superior gene and continue the family line.

In fact, quite a few families were already interested in it, but at the time Mahiro happened to be missing.

"By the way, the potion you gave to Miyuki was also brought back from another world, right?"

It was Tatsuya who spoke at this moment. As always, he held his icy face and calmly asked, "There are parts inside that modern technology cannot analyze. It should be a complex extracted from the genes of countless animals, right?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on him again.

"What medicine?"

Honoka blinked, confused.

Mahiro explained, "It's this one."

With a flick of his wrist, several metal syringes appeared in his hand, which he placed on the table and pushed in front of each of them.

"These are gifts I brought back for you, which will enhance your aptitude as magicians, as well as your physical constitution and recovery abilities."

"Ah!"

When she first heard it was a souvenir, Honoka was quite happy to pick it up and look at it, ready to accept it. But when she heard that it could enhance a magician's aptitude, she almost dropped it.

Fortunately, she caught it in time, cupping it with both hands to keep it steady.

They even carefully placed it back on the table.

"Is it that precious?!" Mari's mouth gaped open, completely stunned.

"Yotsuba Clan -kun... this is far too precious, I can't accept it."

It was Mizuki who spoke, and she had the same reaction as Honoka.

Even Kitayama Shizuku, the daughter of a zaibatsu (wealthy family), shared the same opinion.

The reason why magicians are so rare is precisely because of their innate talent, which is predetermined at birth and cannot be improved upon.

Countless people will likely flock to it, even willing to pay any price.

"Mahiro, this is indeed too precious... It would be a waste for someone like me with poor magical talent to use it. It would be better to give it to Miyuki and Saegusa- senpai."

Hearing what the others said, Sayaka quickly put the syringe back on the table and pushed it towards him.

But then, Mahiro pushed the medicine back.

You don't need to do this.

He chuckled and said, "It may be precious to the world, but I actually have a lot of these injections left, and I've already given them to Miyuki and Mayumi, so I can't give any more."

With Mahiro of his wrist, dozens of vials of medicine clattered and fell onto the table as if they were free.

These were not made by Sumire Muroto, but rather replicated by him using his abilities and alchemy.

The effects are exactly the same as the original.

However, on the other hand...

Although the AGV Serum can enhance the body, it is still a virus at its core. After one injection, subsequent injections will not add attributes, but rather the probability of Gastrea transformation.

"Hey, since you've put it that way, I'll accept it."

Compared to the others' hesitation, Erika was more decisive and immediately picked up the potion and put it away.
