The Infinite Dimensions Starting from The Irregular at Magic High School

"There is one thing that surprised me, though. That girl who just left—Mibu Sayaka. You've already won her over, haven't you?"

"Little Minami is no worse than her, so why did an outsider beat her to it?"

"Mm—??!!!"

Yotsuba Mahiro failed to hold it in and let out a humiliating sound. Even his psion waves failed to stay stable, scattering completely in an instant.

"Ah..."

That sound came from Miyuki.

She covered her mouth, as if she had cast Ice Fog Domain and frozen herself in place, but in her constantly blinking eyes, a complex flame seemed to swirl and shift colors.

Her gaze moved back and forth between Mahiro and Maya, confirming it again and again.

As for Ayako, she could no longer make any sound at all. A fatigue that came from nowhere surged into every part of her body like seawater flowing backward, and with the dizziness in her head, she nearly fainted.

The person who had taught her how to use magic properly since she was little, The Big Brother Mahiro who had protected and cherished her since childhood...

Had actually been won over by another woman?!

What kind of joke was this?!

If this was a dream, she hoped she could wake up quickly.

"Oh my, what an interesting reaction."

Maya deliberately covered her mouth with one hand, widened her eyes slightly, and put on a surprised expression.

As if she were playing dumb, she displayed an emotion that seemed to say, "Did I perhaps say something wrong?"

But in reality, she could not hide the corners of her mouth that were wildly curving upward at all!!!

This woman was as full of wicked amusement as ever!

"Aunt, is what you said... true?"

Seemingly having calmed herself, Miyuki held a hand to her chest and asked seriously.

"Miyuki, are you concerned?"

"Yes."

Miyuki nodded.

It was not just her. Even Ayako was very concerned.

It was just that she was not as bold as Miyuki, and did not dare question Maya directly.

However, from beginning to end, neither of them had ever considered getting the answer from Mahiro.

Maya found this very interesting.

"If you're that concerned, then why don't you become little Mahiro's wife, Miyuki? Oh, and Ayako too."

"Huh? This...?!"

Miyuki panicked.

Although she understood that, as a magician of the Yotsuba Family, she had no right to choose her own marriage at all, to suddenly bring up getting married and all that...

Even if it was Big Brother Mahiro, wasn't this a little too sudden?

Ayako, on the other hand, was far more straightforward. She immediately stood up from the sofa and made her stance clear!

"I have no problem with it! Madam Head, this humble girl is willing to marry Big Brother Mahiro!"

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

This farce had already made him unable to help pressing a hand to his forehead. His head hurt terribly.

"Maya Yotsuba... I really think you have nothing serious to do!"

"Oh my, is little Mahiro dissatisfied with this arrangement?"

As if she had long since expected his reaction, Maya leisurely sampled her warm black tea, even changing the way she addressed him.

The toes of her crossed legs were now lightly tracing a pleasant arc.

"Is this a matter of whether I'm satisfied or not? Do you think this is the kind of occasion suited to making a joke like that?"

"It isn't a joke."

Maya set down her teacup and said calmly, "Koichi, the head of the Saegusa Family, is quite desperately hoping to marry his daughter to you right now.

"And you are currently the hottest prospect among the Hundred Families, the Eighteen Assistant Houses, and even the Ten Master Clans. Surely you know that yourself, don't you?

"If I don't make a move now, my adorable little Mahiro will be snatched away by someone else~"

Why was a forty-year-old woman coyly pretending to be a maiden?

There was no better way to describe Maya Yotsuba right now.

And of course he understood everything she was saying. He had known it back when Mayumi told him about her family affairs that day.

Not to mention, magicians had no concept of monogamy. In fact, in order to produce even more exceptional bloodlines to carry on their families, magicians could have many spouses.

Otherwise, where would those magician families have gotten so many branch houses?

The problem was...

He shifted his gaze and glanced at Miyuki, whose face was already flushed scarlet on the other side.

Then he looked back at Maya and said, "Forget it. I don't want to argue about this with you here. Since you want to monitor my life, go ahead and satisfy your peeping hobby.

I only have one demand. Don't lay a hand on the people around me."

"Of course."

Maya answered in a sticky, honey-sweet voice, "They're all my future daughters-in-law. Why would I lay a hand on them? If anything, I'll help you protect them properly."

"Tch."

Mahiro clicked his tongue softly. "Then that's that. Next, let's talk about my actual business. I need information on the international criminal organization No Head Dragon."

"Oh?"

Maya lifted her eyelids in surprise and looked at him, then the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"You're moving faster than I expected. I thought it would still take you a few days to notice."

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you had a hand in the off-site betting at the Nine Schools Competition."

"Giggle, how could that be? The Yotsuba Family has no interest in such low-class dealings."

Maya lightly covered her red lips, letting out a bell-like laugh.

"Still, I can tell you the information about No Head Dragon, but you have to answer one question for me. Is this retaliation for that little girl from the Saegusa Family? Or for Miyuki? Or perhaps... for someone else at your side?"

As she said this, the corners of Maya's mouth had already curved into an alluring arc.

"What if I say it's for Miyuki? Would you believe me?"

The moment he finished speaking, Miyuki looked at him with obvious emotion.

Maya, however, looked even more delighted.

"I would. Since those words came from my child, how could I not believe them?"

"But more than that, it's to get back at them for provoking you again and again. Right?"

Before he could speak, Maya said it for him.

This woman had completely predicted what he was going to say.

"I'm very satisfied with your answer, so I'll tell you. The head of the East Japan headquarters of the international criminal organization No Head Dragon is named Douglas Wong. He's a trusted aide of the leader, Richard Sun.

That said, there's an interesting piece of information about Richard Sun. It has quite a bit to do with you, too~"

At this point, Maya paused, deliberately drawing out the suspense as she picked up her teacup and moistened her throat before continuing, "Black Teacher, Gied Schez Heigu, is the supreme commander of the international terrorist organization Blanche, and he has an unclear, complicated relationship with Richard Sun..."

"I'm not interested in knowing that."

Mahiro cut her off bluntly. "Just tell me the location of his Japanese headquarters. That's all I need to know."

"Hehe, of course. I'll give the relevant information to Ayako and Fumiya. They'll assist you in this operation."

Hearing this, Mahiro's gaze fell on Ayako, only to find that she was winking at him playfully.

"However, I'm not providing this information to you for free. I have a request as well."

"I knew it... Say it."

"I need you to become the head of the Yotsuba Family."

Become the head of the Yotsuba Family.

The tone she used when saying those words was even calmer than when she had said Miyuki and Ayako should marry him.

But the level of shock was no less than the time she had told him to go to school.

This woman always managed to come up with some unexpected stunt.

And her thoughts remained as impossible to read as ever.

But he did not immediately agree to this final request either.

The Kuroba Family, the Tsukuba Family, and Miyuki, who was one of the candidates, would definitely have no problem with it, but would the other family lines let him become the family head?

What a joke.

Besides, being the family head was such a troublesome thing. Whoever wanted to do it could go ahead. He had no interest.

Maya Yotsuba, however, was not in a hurry. She only told him to think it over carefully, since there was still plenty of time.

However, after leaving the VIP reception room, he suddenly received a call from Mayumi.

"This is bad! Mahiro, come over here, quick. Mari... something happened to her!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious and serious.

Even without seeing her in person, he could guess Mayumi's current state, as well as the severity of the situation.

"Okay. I'll be right there."

Mahiro immediately hung up and quickly set off for the hospital near the Nine Schools Competition.

"How is she?! What the hell happened?!"

When he ran to the hospital and had only just stepped into the ward, he found quite a few people gathered inside.

Almost everyone was there.

"Yotsuba-kun... you're finally here. Watanabe-senpai, she... she..."

The first to notice him was Nakajo Azusa, but when she saw him, she looked so timid and fragile, like a small animal, that Mahiro's heart lurched.

No way, right?

He had clearly gone out of his way to add a protective spell.

Although it couldn't withstand an impact on the level of an explosion, it should have been able to block ordinary accidents.

"Um... Watanabe-senpai is fine. Don't worry."

At that moment, Kitayama Shizuku and Honoka came over and explained, "Yes, Mari-senpai is all right. There was an accident, and she suffered some minor injuries."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why did you rush over here in such a panic?"

That bright female voice came from beside the hospital bed. Mari, dressed in a patient gown, had already sat up.

"It's just that my arm has a slight fracture, and my head hit the railing. Thanks to your protective spell, I didn't suffer any serious injuries."

That was what she said, but thick bandages were wrapped around her right arm and forehead.

Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes sharpened. Those were not injuries caused by a small-scale impact.

"What exactly happened at the Mirage Bat arena? How did it turn into this?"

Could a fully loaded dump truck have charged into the venue and crashed into the waterway or something?
