Come Back to Life, Yotsuba Maya! (5.5K)

The first is cooperation with the military.

Unlike Four Leaves Technology, Shiba Heavy Industries does not pursue cutting-edge technology projects in its cooperation with the military because it does not have eccentric R&D personnel like Shiba Tatsuya and Director Ushiyama. Therefore, it follows the conventional weapons route.

For example, high-velocity bullets are professional anti-magic weapons, and the raw materials used are special metals from the Black Bullet World —hyper-holmium alloy.

Holmium is an excellent material for high-speed projectiles.

Moreover, after Arcadia's alloy walls were dismantled, there were still many materials left over, which can be considered as making use of waste.

"Besides that, in the retail sector, we target the high-end market, focusing on customized designs rather than mass production, such as the Maximilian Rapid Fire model, the Rosser F model, and the Sagittarius Series and Silver Series developed by FLT."

I can't understand Korean at all.

Throughout the journey, Miori Shiba kept introducing the company's business to him.

Despite having lived in this world for over ten years, he knew less than Miori Shiba.

What the hell is this CAD customization? I have absolutely no idea.

Actually, it's similar to his Night Demon; it's a CAD program tailored to his needs.

Miyuki knew a little about this, after all, her CAD was always the crystallization of FLT's technology, but in terms of perception, it was not much different from Mahiro's.

I was completely confused and bewildered by what I heard.

Perhaps Tatsuya would be very interested in these things if he came.

However, this did not dampen Miyuki's spirits; she was so happy she almost wanted to hum a tune.

"Okay, this is the room we chose according to your requirements. How's the size?"

With that, Miori Shiba opened the metal door in front of them and led them into the room.

This is the underground R&D department of Shiba Heavy Industries Industry, a vast, high-ceilinged space resembling a hangar.

On the other side of this space is an observation room identical to this room.

This is the area for CAD testing.

Even Yotsuba Miya, you can still see more than a dozen technicians and researchers busily moving around, discussing, or operating measuring instruments indoors.

Mahiro estimated the ceiling to be about two hundred meters above the ground.

"It's alright, it should be big enough."

Having said that, he stepped forward and, after evacuating the technicians who were working in the experimental field, Mahiro waved his hand.

Rumble--

A powerful earthquake, seemingly about to rip the floor off and collapse the building, suddenly struck.

The floor of the experimental field was made of pure metal and reinforced with warship steel plates tens of millimeters thick, yet it was now slightly sunken.

Everyone who saw the enormous thing in front of them couldn't help but show an expression that was nothing short of spectacular.

"... giant?"

"No, isn't this a Gundam?... Where did you get this, Mahiro?"

Miori Shiba cherry lips slightly, and after a long while, she managed to utter this sentence.

No wonder he made himself find a room with a high ceiling.

Even in this tallest room, the space is almost touching the ceiling to accommodate this mecha-like entity!

This height is almost comparable to that of a Stage 5 Gastrea!

"I brought this back from the previous world. It's called [Guardian Machine God - Supreme Throne], the First Primogenitor and strongest Imperial Arm. I'd like to ask you to modify it. Don't worry about the funding and materials; I can cover everything."

"Oh dear, that's why I say it's too formal to Mahiro. We're family, you know."

Miori Shiba snapped out of her shock, put away her folding fan, tucked it into her chest, and then grabbed his arm, leaning close to him.

She was telling the truth.

In fact, once she came to this world, she could have followed the example of Kisara Tendo, found a teaching job in Arcadia and settled down, or helped the Seitenshi manage that land.

She didn't return to her old profession because she liked it, but because she wanted to help Mahiro and make herself more valuable.

After all, she didn't possess Kisara's outstanding swordsmanship, nor did she have the qualities of a leader like the Seitenshi.

However, her excessive behavior naturally displeased Miyuki, but this time Miyuki didn't say anything, but instead asked softly:

"Brother Mahiro, this giant mecha must be really powerful, right? What other modifications would you like to make to it?"

"That's really impressive."

Mahiro also agreed with this statement.

"However, this thing is just a glass cannon at best, and its defense is very weak, so I want to reinforce it, preferably by modifying it into something like a CAD system, and adding some magic activation technology."

However, as for firepower, I think it could be improved. For example, Lina's "Heavy Metal Burst" could be launched as Charged Particle Cannon, or an anode ion cannon called "Brionac," which is said to be called "Baryon Lance."

"I can provide all of these magical activation formulas. If you use them to make company products, I estimate you could make a small profit."

Mahiro counted the various moves, mentally constructing the image of the Nation-Protector Divine Machine after it shed its cumbersome body and was reborn.

These are almost all magic techniques mastered by Lina, making one almost feel that he wants to create a mecha-like Lina.

Or we could just merge Lina in with it.

It's a good thing no one asked that question, otherwise, given Mahiro's personality, he probably would have thought it was a great idea.

After explaining these matters, Mahiro left Shiba Heavy Industries under the watchful eyes of Miori Shiba and drove away.

Minami was driving, while he and Miyuki sat in the back. Perhaps because she was too sleepy, Miyuki gently rested her head on his shoulder, and her breathing gradually became steady.

He glanced down at the time instinctively and realized it was already Yoruichi Shihōin.

No wonder Miyuki couldn't stay awake and fell asleep. After attending a banquet and then coming all the way to Shiba Heavy Industries with him, she must have been exhausted.

So he took off his coat and carefully draped it over Miyuki's shoulders, then instructed Minami to turn on the heater to prevent her from catching a cold.

However, upon seeing Miyuki's serene and delicate sleeping face, his thoughts drifted away.

He not only recalled Yotsuba Clan's Yotsuba Miya reunion, but also Shiba Tatsurou and Sayuri Shiba, who were representing FLT today.

I don't know what Maya was thinking. She should have kept Yotsuba Clan's business under her control, but instead she let Shiba Tatsurou take over, and even married her lover Sayuri Shiba.

It can be said that, apart from the relationship between Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba, Shiba Tatsurou now has absolutely no connection with the Yotsuba Family.

Furthermore, he remembered that Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya seemed to have passed away in 2094, and in the same year, not long after Yotsuba Miya's death, Shiba Tatsurou remarried his lover Sayuri.

This also led to Miyuki Shiba's extreme hatred for her father, Shiba Tatsurou.

Therefore, over the years, even during holidays, Miyuki Shiba and Shiba Tatsuya have never greeted their father.

They've basically always lived their own lives.

Aside from the occasional time when she has work, Sayuri, Tatsuya's stepmother, would visit Tatsuya, but that was about it.

So Yotsuba Clan died in the Yotsuba Miya. If she were still alive, I wonder what she would think...

Wrong!

Mahiro, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of something.

It seems... possible.

Perhaps he could revive Maya Yotsuba and then watch a good show or something.

After all, he didn't have a good impression of Shiba Tatsurou either. He couldn't find anyone else as bold as this man to use the Yotsuba Family as a stepping stone.

However, resurrecting the deceased is a grave violation of human ethics.

Although Yotsuba Clan's Yotsuba Miya was due to the overuse of magic, resulting in both mental and physical exhaustion, and although this exhaustion could not be cured even by the intelligence body's tracing, this only applies to the magic "Regrowth".

He can Yotsuba Miya Yotsuba Clan then interfere through external means.

For example, enhancers can not only restore physical vitality, but also mental energy.

It can work!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited. He was like a mad scientist who had come up with a brilliant idea. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his breathing became heavier.

After all, if this really succeeds, it would mean that his realm could completely step out of the human realm and cross over into the power of God.

His unusual behavior even alarmed Miyuki.

"... Brother Mahiro...? What happened?"

Miyuki woke up from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked up at him with a slightly hazy expression.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something interesting. Go to sleep, it'll be a while before we get home."

"Okay, fine..."

Miyuki nodded and leaned on his shoulder to fall asleep again.

This time, however, he slowly moved Miyuki's body so that she lay on his lap.

He habitually stroked her long, smooth, black hair, looked at her fair face, and couldn't help but whisper:

"Speaking of Miyuki, if you could see your mother again, what would you say to her?"

"... Mahiro -nii's question is very strange."

With her eyes closed, Miyuki murmured softly, "Mother has been dead for many years, but if I could really see Miyuki again, I think I would express my Miyuki, right?"

Although her mother was very strict with her, she really missed her mother.

"I think there will be an opportunity."

Mahiro responded softly, but Miyuki, who was already half asleep, didn't take it to heart at all, taking it as just words to comfort herself.

The next day.

The usual school activities continued as before.

But if there's anything different from before, it's probably Honoka's change.

Because the seating arrangement was changed in the second year, Honoka became the person behind him, while Shizuku sat in front of him.

So, whenever he was dozing off in class, or had already dozed off, Honoka, who sat behind him, would poke him with her finger to wake him up.

Honoka, as if looking at something adorable, would always silently give a friendly smile that seemed to say, "Wake up! No sleeping during class!"

Honestly, she's just too cute.

Honoka's changes were naturally noticed by the girls in her class.

When class ended, many people asked her what had happened that caused such a sudden change in her.

However, Honoka remained shyly silent when questioned, refusing to answer.

Of course, some people have also turned into detectives and made bold guesses, saying that Honoka must be in love, which is why she has changed so much.

"Really?! Are you really in a relationship? Wow, that's amazing, I'm so envious..."

"Hey, Mitsui- san, who is it? How did they manage to win Mitsui's heart? Tell us! Could it be Yotsuba Clan?"

"Wow, I'm so happy~~~"

Surrounded by questions from the crowd, Honoka almost buried her head in her chest!

Chapter 175 Resurrect, Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya! (5.5K)

Night.

In the stillness of the night.

A shadowy figure stealthily entered the Yotsuba Family's cemetery area.

Although the Yotsuba Clan family has moved to Mashima Island, a suitable location has not yet been found for the family cemetery to be relocated, so it has been left here.

Sima Sora, Shinonome Masaki, Kazuma Yotsuba, Higashiyama Gen'ei, Yotsuba Clan Saimu, Yotsuba Clan Hyōma, Yotsuba Clan Yuuma...

These ancestors of the Yotsuba Family are all buried here.

The Sima family, who once distinguished themselves at the Fourth Laboratory, created the Yotsuba Family of today, much like Yotsuba Mahiro, Miyuki Shiba, and Shiba Tatsuya.

It can be said to be the pinnacle of scientific and technological achievement of the Fourth Laboratory at that time.

Or rather, this is how the Ten Master Clans came to be, and in the end, Kudo Retsu took the lead in establishing the Master Clans Council.
