How About You Stay?

[Oh, so it's Young Master Mahiro... Please speak.]

Hearing the way the speaker was talking through the microphone, Mahiro was speechless.

"Uncle Gong, you're the head of the Kuroba Family, and Maya is your cousin, while I'm just a body-adjusting mage. There's no need to speak to me with such respect, given our seniority and status."

If you don't mind, just call me Mahiro.

[Okay, Mahiro.]

"Um, Uncle Gong. Have you taken care of the thing my mom, Maya Yotsuba, asked you to do?"

There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone, seemingly because of his overly direct question.

A few seconds later, Kuroba Mitsugu's voice came through the microphone again.

[Hmm... It's been confirmed that a total of twelve parasites were created from the USNA black hole experiment.]

[Besides the two on USNA's mainland, a total of ten entered the Tokyo Area. Four of them have already been dealt with by USNA, three were eliminated by you and Miyuki, and one was killed by Maya. There are currently two remaining, but only the location of one has been determined.]

"As expected of you, Uncle Gong."

This is not irony.

To be able to gather so much intelligence in just one day, it's no wonder he's the head of the branch family who controls most of the Yotsuba Family's intelligence network.

Their intelligence gathering capabilities are simply unmatched.

However, the reason why Kuroba Mitsugu's movements were so swift was mainly because Maya Yotsuba had been attacked.

This is the biggest provocation the Yotsuba Family has faced since the Great Han Incident thirty years ago.

So much so that this time, Kuroba Mitsugu didn't send Ayako Kuroba and Kuroba Fumiya, but instead personally took up arms and went into battle.

"Since Uncle Gong currently has the location of a parasite, could you please send it to me?"

[Mahiro, are you going to hand the information over to USNA's "Sirius," or are you going to do it yourself?]

"I will personally take matters into my own hands and eliminate all hosts and parasites."

Mahiro's answer was very straightforward.

There was no suppression of emotion, nor did it sound cold; the calmness it exuded gave Kuroba Mitsugu a strange feeling when he heard it on the other end of the phone.

It was as if his cousin was talking to him.

They truly are mother and son, aren't they?

[However, Mahiro, I must remind you. The Tokyo Area is not under the jurisdiction of the Yotsuba Clan.]

"It doesn't matter. If the Ten Master Clans have any objections, let them talk to Maya Yotsuba. Besides, I'm just helping them clean up their mess, so what right do I have to complain?"

That's all I have to say.

Kuroba Mitsugu couldn't say anything more; it was clear that Yotsuba Mahiro was determined.

"Alright, everything as you wish."

After hanging up the phone, Kuroba Mitsugu sent the information to Yotsuba Mahiro.

However, he spoke with Maya Yotsuba on the phone again after that.

Upon hearing this, Maya Yotsuba showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she giggled.

I laughed for a long time.

There seemed to be no sign of dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Instead, he told Kuroba Mitsugu to fully support Yotsuba Mahiro's actions, even if it meant using the Yamao Society.

She would handle the rest herself.

Even Kuroba Mitsugu couldn't help but sigh after hearing it.

Offending this mother and son is a huge misfortune for these parasites; it's unlikely anyone can gain any advantage from them.

Chapter 105 Why Don't You Stay? (5.5K)

"I'm back~"

"Welcome back, Mahiro!"

Minami waited anxiously at home all night, and finally Yotsuba Mahiro returned in the early morning.

Weary from their journey.

Overnight, without anyone noticing, the last remaining parasites in the Tokyo Area were completely wiped out.

Despite working all night, he only managed to clean two of them.

The last one was taken by Lina, and he was the one who cleaned up the mess.

However, when he took off his shoes and came into the living room, he saw two teacups that hadn't been taken away from the sofa and coffee table.

Not only that, but a faint floral fragrance also filled the air.

The taste seems a bit familiar...

"Has anyone been here, Minami?"

"Yes, Mahiro. Madam and Lady Miyuki visited last night, but they waited all night without seeing you, so they just left this morning."

"Oh, really?"

It's unclear what Maya Yotsuba is doing here. Perhaps she's visiting the set to inquire about the mission's progress?

It couldn't be anything too important, otherwise I would have contacted him directly.

By the way, the people sent by the Yotsuba Family were quite efficient.

In just one day, the damaged parts of the house were repaired, and it looked exactly the same as before.

At that moment, Minami handed him a paper file folder.

"This is?"

"Madam said that this is some information about the 'vampire incident,' and that you, Mahiro, might be interested, so it's been left here."

After putting down the file folder, Minami brought him a cup of black coffee and continued, "Madam also said that you should remember to destroy the information inside after you've finished reading it, otherwise it might cause some unnecessary trouble."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Mahiro did indeed become interested and slowly unsealed the file folder.

He was also very curious about what those people in USNA had done to create such a monster.

If it weren't for the "Eidos Eye," "Multiple Observation," and "Ghost Gate Dunjia" for location tracking, plus the "Alpha Stigma" for probing the essence and carrying out the material transformation from "nothingness" to "something," then...

It's likely to completely backfire from the start.

I really have to thank myself for this extraordinary talent I was born with, as well as the spiritual mastery inherited from the Yotsuba Family.

On the same day, Lina again took leave and did not come to school.

At this moment, she was experiencing what could be described as her first time feeling restless, sitting inside the USNA embassy.

Speaking of humiliating experiences, she suffered several times after arriving in Japan.

The main reason is that even though the body has gotten used Yotsuba Mahiro it, the feeling of frustration in the heart will never disappear because of the habit.

However, this interrogation at the USNA embassy is completely different from what Yotsuba Mahiro experienced.

"... So, in other words, you, Sirius of STARS, are completely helpless against one of your targets, a high school student, and have even exposed your identity, right?"

"That's not my fault, it's your intelligence that's flawed. That guy is a monster that can't be measured by the power of a mage alone! And Japan high school students are simply abnormal. Besides that guy, there are quite a few mages who possess qualities no less than mine!"

Just like Miyuki Shiba and Mayumi Saegusa, their magical power has reached the level of a strategic-level mage!

These words of protest rose in Lina's throat.

After witnessing all of that yesterday, she finally understood what kind of monster she was fighting.

They remain unmoved even when being sucked blood by parasites, and even though they are difficult for humans to observe, these parasites from another dimension can easily capture and kill them.

It will remain unharmed even if subjected to severe magical attacks.

Each of these can be considered exceptional.

But she kept those words in her throat, because she knew very well that the people interrogating her didn't care about the details, only the outcome.

The mission's failure is undeniable, completely exposing Stars to the sight of the Ten Master Clans.

So he could only obediently lower his head.

"Also, it's said that one of the escaped suspects was the security guard who lived in the room next to yours. You spent a whole month together, yet you didn't discover his true identity, is that right?"

"You're the ones who hired this 'suspect' as an air traffic controller, aren't you?!"

Lina really wanted to talk back loudly this time, but she knew she couldn't say it, so the pressure only increased.

These people went on to nag and be sarcastic.

Even though magicians are valued for their talent, Lina was promoted to major before she was even twenty years old, and many within the USNA military were jealous of her for being too young.

The less involved a military bureaucrat is in actual combat, the stronger this tendency becomes.

After all, her military rank represented the power structure, and the fact that she obtained it at such a young age was something those people simply couldn't understand.

The group of people standing in front of her now are typical high-ranking officials who "don't know what real combat is."

It's natural to get angry at such pointless sarcasm, and it's also a foolish thing to do.

So Lina cleared her mind and ignored what these people were saying.

First High School, Club Federation Headquarters.

At the same time, in the same place, the same three people gathered here.

There's just one more person today.

Wearing a teacher's uniform, she appears as a tall and alluring long-haired mature woman— Kyoko Fujibayashi.

According to her, she was merely there on behalf of the Kudou Family to observe the proceedings.

"Mahiro, I want to ask you, you were hunting vampires in the Tokyo Area last night, right? Or were you with the members of Stars?" Mayumi asked very seriously.

"Oops, we've been spotted?"

Actually, it was inevitable that they would be discovered.

After all, last night, the Stars members only concealed their identities from ordinary people, but made no attempt to hide them from the magicians.

It's as obvious as a flea on a bald man's head.

What he didn't expect was that even though they were all disguised, they could still guess who he was.

"Of course, after all, the Tokyo Area is under my family's jurisdiction."

Mayumi pouted, crossed her arms, and looked as if she were complaining, "Why weren't you notified? Why didn't you cooperate with the Saegusa Family to arrest her? Instead, you were hanging out with the Stars." "So, you've got your eye on Angelina, haven't you?"

A single glance conveyed so much information, even emotions that Mahiro missed.

For example--

[You heartless playboy, just you wait! I'll make you eat some incredibly bitter chocolate this Valentine's Day!]

Mayumi, retaining her girlish innocence, pondered this in her heart.

"Yotsuba Clan, so you know the specific personnel USNA sent to Japan this time, right?"

The Katsuto Jumonji.

His gaze remained as serious as ever. Although he didn't seem to be questioning anyone, his seriousness always gave the impression of interrogating a criminal.

However, Yotsuba Mahiro didn't seem to care.

"I know, but I can't tell you. It's an agreement between me and someone."

"Yotsuba Clan, as a member of the Ten Master Clans, you should understand that our interests are intertwined. Although there may be occasional frictions within the Ten Master Clans, we all share the same fate."

"Perhaps that's true, but I don't care about that. In my opinion, the promise I made to her is more important."

Yotsuba Mahiro said calmly, then turned his gaze to Kyoko Fujibayashi had remained silent.
