The Infinite Dimensions Starting from The Irregular at Magic High School

"Um... Yotsuba, are you and President Saegusa a couple?"

"A capable upperclassman"

"Huh?"

Mahiro was dumbfounded.

He had never expected that to be the question Mibu would ask him.

And he had even less idea why Mibu would ask that in the first place!

Sayaka's answer was even more ridiculous.

She said that some time ago, someone had seen Mayumi and him chatting and laughing in a café, with Mayumi even looking as if she were blushing.

No one had ever seen that president look so bashful before.

So they had mistakenly assumed the two of them were a couple.

However.

The reason she had asked was because she wanted to recruit Mahiro into the Kendo Department so they could work together to create a fair and just environment.

She had even extended the invitation very formally.

But honestly, as for joining the kendo club, he had lost interest ever since watching the demonstration.

Rather than joining a club, he would much rather admire Mibu's sword.

He really liked his upperclassman's sword.

Of course, that was also how Mahiro answered and refused her.

But Mibu seemed to have only heard the first half of what he said, so much so that her face turned bright red.

After that, Mibu came to him several more times to talk about the unfair treatment Course 2 students received.

But the problem was.

Where in the world was there such a thing as fairness?

Even if a cake were divided evenly into eight pieces and given to eight people, those eight people would still feel that the method of division was unfair.

The crux of the matter.

Was nothing more than complaining that the special treatment had not fallen on them.

After that, perhaps because she felt their paths were different, Mibu did not come to him to discuss the matter again.

However, a strange rumor appeared.

It said he had verbally flirted with second-year upperclassman Mibu Sayaka in the café, and there were even rumors claiming the two of them were boyfriend and girlfriend.

It was as if someone had done it deliberately.

"So, is it true that you really verbally flirted with an upperclassman, Yotsuba?"

After all the enrollment-related activities had come to an end, about a week passed.

Mahiro was in the classroom, currently being surrounded and questioned by the two people seated in front of and behind him—Kitayama Shizuku and Mitsui Honoka.

Even Miyuki leaned in with considerable interest to listen.

"Look, Kitayama, you're the young lady of the Kitayama Conglomerate, at least. Is it really okay for you to say something like 'flirting' so calmly?"

"It's fine. My father won't care about these things."

Kitayama Shizuku said with her usual expressionless face, "Also, Yotsuba, don't change the subject. Please answer the question directly."

"Of course not. I just admired Mibu's sword. Does that count as verbal flirting?"

"Besides, Miyuki is right here. Stop talking about flirting this and flirting that. If she gets led astray, Tatsuya will come looking for trouble with me."

Hearing his words, Miyuki's brows furrowed slightly.

"...May I ask something, Brother Mahiro? You wouldn't happen to be misunderstanding my age, would you...?"

Although she did not particularly mind, Miyuki still protested softly in a polite tone.

How could he possibly misunderstand? Miyuki was only one year younger than him.

But before he could say anything, the broadcast suddenly rang out.

"Attention, all students!"

A voice came from the loudspeaker at a volume that was almost shrill enough to hurt the ears.

The broadcast room seemed to realize what it had done as well, then lowered the volume and spoke again.

"—Apologies for that. Attention, all students!"

"We are the Alliance of Volunteers, whose goal is to abolish discriminatory treatment within the school."

"We demand negotiations with the Student Council and the Club Federation on equal footing!"

"Wow."

Listening to the voice coming from the loudspeaker, and seeing Miyuki receive a communication from the Student Council and leave, Mahiro could not help but grin.

They were more capable than expected.

To achieve their goal, these people had actually dared to occupy the broadcasting room illegally.

But they were definitely going to have a hard time wrapping this up afterward. After all, forcibly seizing school facilities was already a serious violation of school rules and discipline.

The student council, the Public Morals Committee, and the Club Federation had all already begun to act.

But after a while...

A charming figure suddenly appeared at the classroom door.

"Mahiro-kun!"

Mayumi came to Class A to find him, looking rather anxious, with several people following behind her.

"Senpais, is there something you need me for?"

"Mahiro-kun, I heard you're Mibu-san's boyfriend. Is that true?"

The one who spoke was Mari. She seemed somewhat impatient.

Mahiro shook his head and said, "No. It's purely a rumor. I was wondering about that myself, too. I was just explaining it to Kitayama-san and the others."

Kitayama Shizuku and Honoka nodded at that, testifying for him.

"All right. Then do you have Mibu-san's contact information?"

"I do."

"Then the student council would like to trouble you to contact Mibu Sayaka now, Mahiro-kun."

This time, it was Ichihara Suzune who spoke—the tall upperclassman Mayumi called Suzu.

Compared to the somewhat impatient Mari, she looked extremely calm.

Unlike Kitayama Shizuku's expressionless, emotionless type, this upperclassman, Ichihara Suzune, was more like a wise ice beauty, filled from head to toe with an intellectual air.

And according to these upperclassmen...

Whether it was the student council, the Public Morals Committee, or the Club Federation, none of them wanted to handle this matter with force. But they needed to establish communication with the people occupying the broadcasting room and agree to their so-called negotiation.

So they had come to him.

"Mm, of course. No problem."

Arriving in front of the broadcasting room and looking at the tightly shut door, Mahiro dialed the number.

"Hello, Mibu-senpai? It's Yotsuba."

[Yotsuba-kun? Why are you calling me at a time like this?]

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask where you are right now, Mibu-senpai."

[...The broadcasting room.]

The voice on the other end was clearly hesitant, but Mahiro gave a soft laugh. "I didn't expect you and the others to be so capable, senpai. You actually occupied the broadcasting room."

[Yotsuba-kun, are you mocking me? Looking down on me?!]

The voice opposite him was very agitated.

"Not at all. That was pure praise. Precisely because you occupied the broadcasting room, the student council and Public Morals Committee came to me, hoping I could act as an intermediary and make this call to you."

[...Why would they have you call me? To persuade me? If that's the case...]

"Of course not," Mahiro interrupted. "The purpose of contacting you is naturally that the negotiation you wanted has received a response. The school has already agreed to your demands."

[Really?!]

"It's true. Mibu-senpai, I have no reason to lie to you. So since your goal has already been achieved, please open the door."

[...Then how will our safety be guaranteed?]

"Sorry, there's no way to guarantee that."

"None of us are children. When you decided to occupy the broadcasting room, you should have anticipated this outcome."

"Although the fault of disrupting school order isn't all that serious, this time, even if I wanted to speak up for you, I wouldn't be able to."

[...I know. This time, we shouldn't have troubled you because of our willfulness, Yotsuba-kun. But—]

"Please hear me out first, Mibu-senpai."

"To be honest, I still admire you upperclassmen and senpai very much."

"After all, reform inevitably has to face bloodshed and sacrifice. And for Mibu-senpai and the others to be able to act as pioneers and selflessly devote and sacrifice yourselves for the interests of the Course 2 students—I truly respect that."

"So even if you fail, I expect all the Course 2 students will remember you and thank you."

"After all, there aren't many people who can stand up and speak out for the Course 2 students."

[Ugh...]

Whether his words had taken effect or the other side had figured things out...

After a brief silence, the call was hung up.

Immediately afterward, the door to the broadcasting room opened.

The five people who had occupied the broadcast room looked somewhat grim, but they were also very quiet.

Even faced with arrest by the Public Morals Committee, they did not resist in the slightest.

Nor did they voice any complaints.

As if being arrested was a kind of honor?

It was not until Mayumi stepped forward that she had the Public Morals Committee members let them go.

Since they wanted to negotiate, they naturally needed opponents. This time, the three sides were absolutely determined to convince them completely.

However, the way the others looked at him became very subtle.

Even Miyuki from the Student Council and Shiba Tatsuya, who was a member of the Public Morals Committee, were the same.

Senior Watanabe even made a point of coming over to him, slinging an arm around his shoulders as she said, "I say, Junior Mahiro, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. I think you've got real potential to be a Public Morals Committee member. Want to reconsider and join our Public Morals Committee?"

The corner of Mahiro's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "Please spare me, Senior Watanabe."

The Perverted Teacher Stalking Students

The incident of the occupied broadcast room came to an end.

After that, the Big Three took over the discussions, and whatever happened specifically had little to do with him.

He had only heard that President Mayumi was preparing to hold a debate with these Course 2 student representatives tomorrow, using it to decide the issue of the Course 2 students' treatment.

Apart from that, there was one other thing that surprised him greatly.

Shiba Tatsuya had actually taken the initiative to invite him over to his house that evening.
