Return to the World, Then Have a Fight First? (5K)

This brat is so mean! He hasn't cried in so long, he's even forgotten what it feels like to cry.

How could that brat be so wicked? He actually abandoned all the other girls to come and keep me company, and even said that his soul was pure and innocent. I am a notorious witch!

This brat is so mean, coming all the way here to celebrate such an unimportant birthday...

But even in just this one moment, everything he did was enough to completely break down her defenses and open her heart.

No matter what lies ahead, no matter what the future holds, the witch has decided to accompany this world-destroying Demon King all the way.

In this enchanting and ambiguous atmosphere, Mahiro's hands slowly wrapped around the witch's slender waist.

Compared to a mature physique, CC actually appears thin and slender in most parts.

It was the figure of a young girl.

Beneath the fullness, you can even see the ribs clearly.

This all stems from those unfortunate childhood experiences. Even if things improve afterward, how much can they really improve within the church?

Not to mention the immortality she later gained, which froze her body in that moment forever.

Thinking of this, Mahiro couldn't help but tighten his arms slightly, wishing he could meld the girl in his arms into his own body.

CC slowly tiptoed and wrapped her arms completely around his head.

Gradually, her jade-white legs, encased in black stockings, shifted position, and her steps became increasingly fragmented and disordered with her breathing.

Thunder rumbled in the winter.

Snowflakes began to fall outside the window, and a heavy snowfall covered the entire city.

Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, the women gathered around the table for their Christmas dinner couldn't help but sigh—

"I'm so envious, being able to go on a date alone with someone like that."

But no one felt a trace of resentment; on the contrary, after learning about CC's past, they were filled with sympathy.

I felt that CC deserved this night.

Meanwhile, in another world connected to this world, there exists C's World.

Alaya quietly observed everything happening in the world, and for the first time, a faint smile appeared on her delicate and serene face.

"Thank you for everything you've done for this world. Goodbye, traveler who has journeyed through the world."

Interlude: The Irregular at Magic High

Chapter 317 Returning to the world, then having a fight first? (5K)

Cold, shivering...

No, it's not cold at all; it's actually a little warm, cozy, and damp?

It felt like my whole body was immersed in warm water.

This was his first feeling after being sent back.

"Where have they put me here again...?"

Muttering to himself, Yotsuba Mahiro slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself surrounded by swirling mist and the sound of flowing water echoing in his ears. A drop of condensed water even landed on his face.

"Holy crap, whose bathroom is this?"

That's right, it's a bathroom, and a very large one at that, comparable to a public bathhouse, with even a bathtub filled with hot water.

The problem is, whose house is this? The surrounding layout and furnishings are all unfamiliar...

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard a soft humming sound.

"Hmph hmph hmph?~"

It's a very pleasant and melodious tune, but why does the sound seem so familiar?

Mahiro shifted his position in the pool, and when he turned around, his eyes met the other person's, who was frozen in place.

She was a young girl, a very beautiful and charming girl, just like a model.

Her long, fiery red hair cascaded down her back, and the marks from her ponytail were still faintly visible in the smooth strands.

She was only wrapped in a bath towel, which looked somewhat inappropriate, but since this was a bathroom, it was normal for her to be dressed inappropriately.

Most importantly, because of her somewhat careless way of securing the towel, coupled with her posture and body shape, the area secured in front of her chest was quite loose.

So loosely dressed that in the brief moment she was lost in thought, the towel on her chest had already come undone and quietly fallen to the ground.

Everything was Yotsuba Mahiro.

The girl's face had turned red at a visible speed.

"Um, um... Erika, long time no see?"

Mahiro a smile, trying his best to appear kind.

"Pervert, grotesque, peeping tom—what are you doing here? Get out of here, you idiot!!!"

A torrent of incoherent curses swept in like a storm, accompanied by ear-piercing screams that shook the entire bathroom, and the sounds of smashing and breaking.

A few minutes later, in the private reception room of the Chiba Family.

"So, you're in my bathroom because you time-traveled?"

"Ah, that's about it. Was this a minor accident?"

"Hmph, whether it's an accident or not is up to me!"

In the room decorated in a Japanese style, Erika, already dressed, sat on the tatami mat with her arms crossed, completely unconcerned about her appearance. Her long hair, damp with moisture, was tied into a single strand that fell to her chest, and water droplets condensed at her temples slowly dripped down her collarbone and onto her chest.

It was obvious that her hair hadn't been dried yet.

Her beautiful face no longer held its usual liveliness; instead, it was tinged with anger and resentment.

Opposite her, Yotsuba Mahiro sat there with a grimacing expression, her face stained with bright red maple leaves and a few red marks on her forehead.

Erika was the one who beat them up.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Yotsuba Mahiro didn't resist. After all, he was in the wrong. Who knew he would be left in the Chiba Family's bathroom, just as Erika was about to take a bath? If he had known this would happen, he would have used the Shambhala transfer to get away as soon as he landed.

However, seeing him deliberately grinning, Erika's anger subsided somewhat, and she couldn't help but chuckle. Her tone softened as she asked:

"Hey, how are you? Still in pain?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, as long as you've calmed down. But you were a bit too rough with that, weren't you? You used your Psions strength, didn't you?"

Erika had been injected with the enhancement potion he brought a long time ago, which greatly improved both her physical abilities and magical power. Now she also has the ability to cast spells without CAD.

They did this to save her life, since the world is dangerous and Erika is the kind of person who can't stay still.

I never imagined it would be used on me one day.

Is this a case of the boomerang hitting himself?

"Hmph, who told you to barge into my bathroom while I was showering and see me naked..."

For some unknown reason, Erika's face suddenly flushed red again, and her tone became even more indignant.

"But the problem is, it's not entirely my fault. I can't control the teleportation coordinates of this thing..."

"Stop arguing!"

Before he could finish speaking, Erika had already bared her fangs and her gaze sharpened.

Her fierce expression resembled that of a lioness poised to pounce, as if even her red hair was already bristling.

"Fine, fine, I give up. I won't say anything more, okay?"

Seeing the girl like this, he still resolutely chose to follow his heart.

Ultimately, however, he was also a victim in this matter. While it's true he saw some scenery he'd never seen before and noticed Erika's figure—curvy in all the right places, a slim waist, and toned, slender thighs thanks to years of exercise—that's something he simply couldn't control...

"There's one more thing, and you'd better forget what just happened!"

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you asking a bit too much of me?"

"I don't care, you have to forget about it!"

This time, Erika exuded an intimidating aura once again, "Otherwise, I'll tell Xiangxiang and Mayumi, Maya and Aunt Yotsuba Miya, and Miyuki about all this!"

Look at these people you picked! Which one of them can control him?

Sayaka and Mayumi, in particular, almost always obeyed him and often did some outrageous things.

Miyuki is more like a gentle cat.

He was even less authoritative than the Seitenshi, who at least occasionally reprimanded him with a stern face, though in the end he was always the one being reprimanded with a stick.

As for Maya and Yotsuba Miya, if these two women knew about this, they probably wouldn't blame him; instead, they would encourage him to take the Chiba Family girl and help the Yotsuba Family have more offspring.

However, under Erika's coercion and enticement, he ultimately chose to compromise.

Verbal concessions.

"Tsk, it's been so long, how come you've become so willful as soon as we meet?"

He muttered something under his breath, and the next second he was met with Erika's sharp gaze.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, you misheard me. I was praising the eldest daughter of the Chiba Family for being beautiful and kind-hearted."

"Hmph, even if you praise me like that, I won't forgive you so easily!"

Erika glared at him fiercely, then stood up and walked to the entrance of the reception room, opening the door.

"Erika, are you... getting ready to see us out?"

"How could I let you leave so easily? Come with me, I need to talk to you about something."

After saying that, Erika left the meeting room on her own.

Seeing the serious look on her face as she left, Mahiro knew it must be something important, so he didn't refuse and followed Erika out of the room.

To his surprise, Erika led him to a dojo, which was quite spacious inside.

This is the dojo of the Chiba Family, Hundred Families schools of "Sword Magicians".

For some unknown reason, the temple was completely deserted; there wasn't a single soul in sight.

Judging from the Chiba Family's reputation, there should be quite a few people coming here to learn swordsmanship and practice the way of the sword...

"This is my private dojo, where I usually practice my swordsmanship, so no one will come to disturb me."

A completely emotionless, serious voice answered his question.

Turning around, I saw on the other side of the dojo that Erika had changed into her kendo uniform at some point, wearing a pure white top and loose black trousers, her pearly white toes touching the wooden floor.

She was holding two wooden swords for practice, and she tossed one of them into his arms.

What does this mean?

Are you planning to teach me a lesson?

Erika explained expressionlessly, "Mahiro- kun, you haven't forgotten that you still owe me a sword duel, have you?"

Upon Mahiro suddenly understood.

He suddenly remembered.

When I was a freshman, I do think we made that promise, but I forgot about it for various reasons.

I never expected Erika to still remember.

Only...
