A Date with Miyuki (5.2K) (Continued)

Is it my fault?

Why did you insist on making me keep my promise? If I actually beat you up, you wouldn't be happy.

Of course, he couldn't say these words to Erika's face; he just muttered them to himself.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Erika seems to be more mischievous than before.

Thinking of this, Mahiro wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Hey, are you angry?"

Erika leaned closer and asked, a faint, sweet fragrance immediately lingering in the air, enough to make one's heart flutter.

He Mahiro shifted his body to the side, maintaining a polite distance, and said:

"No."

"She must be angry."

"I said no..."

"Hehe."

Erika laughed, looking very happy, thinking to herself that she had finally gotten her revenge on him.

Otherwise, not only would she have been seen naked, but she would have also been beaten up, which would have been unacceptable to someone as proud and arrogant as her.

But then, Erika seemed to have a good idea, and smiled sweetly.

"Since Mahiro so angry, I'll show you my body as an apology."

As Erika spoke, she placed her right thumb under the invisible bra strap, raising it to the height of one finger with a flirtatious glance.

Today she's wearing an off-the-shoulder T-shirt, which is an unusual look for an era that has experienced war and harsh winters. It's like Erika dug up some old relic from some obscure corner.

However, it must be said that it suits Erika's well-proportioned model figure very well, and the letters on the chest are perfectly rounded and supported.

The exposed shoulder on one side perfectly showcased her fair and delicate collarbone.

It looks very tempting.

However, Mahiro quickly pressed her hand down.

"Stop it, young lady, please."

He and Erika had a good relationship, but only as friends. They weren't quite there yet; they were somewhere in between.

He also understood that Erika always liked to play pranks on people.

When I looked up and met her gaze, I did indeed glimpse a mischievous glint in her beautiful pupils.

With his intervention, Erika finally let go, satisfied, letting the bra strap slap against her fair shoulder with a crisp sound.

Erika was already quite content, but her lively nature meant she wasn't one to stand being alone.

So he moved closer again.

What are you planning to do now?

"Hey, Mahiro, can you tell me about what you encountered during your time travel?"

"You want to know?"

"Mmm, I'd love to know."

"Okay, okay."

Mahiro didn't refuse, but instead told Erika about his experiences in the previous world, which was also a way to calm her restless nature.

Erika's eyebrows were practically twisted into a pretzel as she listened.

Because this world doesn't sound that powerful.

For someone like her, born and raised in a magical world, things like codes and geass weren't unacceptable; she was just slightly amazed by the strangeness of the world.

Erika's attitude towards the Knightmare weapon is somewhat ambiguous.

In her mind, this kind of thing should be similar to the medium-sized mecha she encountered in Yokohama.

Mahiro simply smiled at this.

If we disregard magic, the sixth and seventh generation mechs from Lelouch's world alone could easily sweep through that world.

As for the fact that he had many more women around him, Erika was only slightly surprised, and then remarked:

"You're such a womanizer. Xiangxiang and Miyuki are such good girls, they're really unlucky to be with you."

In reality, Erika was just making a sarcastic remark.

She knew very well that with Yotsuba Mahiro's current strength and status, it was normal for him to take in as many girls as he wanted.

On the one hand, the world of magicians values having many descendants, and it's best to have a large and prosperous family to ensure the continuation of the family line and the transmission of magic.

Illegitimate children are commonplace.

For example, the Yotsuba Family has so many branches, which is the result of having many children.

On the other hand, Yotsuba Mahiro is indeed so outstanding that there is no one else like him. Putting aside how strong his magical power is, the fact that he was able to capture Sirius, one of the Thirteen Apostles, and recruit the Stars is enough to shock the world.

Not to mention, they can also produce medicines to enhance physical fitness.

It's important to know that being a magician is a profession where young people are prone to dying prematurely, mainly due to the physical damage magic inflicts.

Just like Goze Mio of the Goze Family, who sat in a wheelchair early on in order to slow down the wear and tear on her body, conserve her energy, and better unleash strategic-level magic.

There's also Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya, whose powerful mental interference magic led to her excessive physical weakness, ultimately causing her to die young.

Therefore, whether it's a potion to enhance physical fitness or Yotsuba Mahiro's own superior genes, either one would be enough to make all the families in the magical world flock to it.

If it weren't for legal restrictions, these people would all want to get a drop of blood or a piece of gold from him and then carry out some kind of human experimentation.

Soon, amidst their conversation, the plane arrived at the airport on Mashima Island.

After getting off the plane, Mahiro met with the girls one by one.

What he didn't expect was that upon his return after leaving, Mashima Island had expanded considerably.

According to Maya Yotsuba and Seitenshi, land reclamation was carried out centered on Mashima Island, expanding the entire area to more than twice its original size.

Mahiro also took out the Penglai Island stored in the ring and placed it next to the Mashima Island, and built a bridge across the sea to connect them.

The girls who were released quickly became acquainted with the other girls.

For example, Kaguya Sumeragi, along with Jiang Lihua, Nunnally, and Euphemia, sat at the same table with the young emperor and the Seitenshi;

Kallen and Leila joined Cornelia and the others;

Shirley, Milly, and the others chatted with Erika and her friends.

Nina, Ita, Sherry, and Sheele Colmy plunged headfirst into the laboratory;

Monica and Lina recognized each other's experiences in just one glance and felt a sense of shared sorrow.

Cornelia and Esdeath found themselves getting along well;

Besides that, CC and Marianne, who is temporarily residing in Anya Alstreim's body, successfully became members of the tea party group, sitting with Maya Yotsuba, Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya, and Claire Cagano, who is possessed by Aurora, and drinking tea together.

Although Claire would occasionally exchange swordsmanship tips with Erika and Kisara Tendo...

Everything seemed so harmonious, without any bothersome conflicts, except that Esdeath would take Cornelia and a few others out to conquer the world.

I heard that USNA is about to be destroyed by Esdeath.

It's fair to say that secession is imminent, and who knows if a Night City or something similar will emerge after California becomes independent.

That would be interesting if it existed, but it's unlikely, since this is a world of magic.

The precarious state of the USNA and the fall of Europe have already instilled fear and unease in the remaining countries.

Shortly after he returned to Mashima Island, a series of events ensued.

First came the invitation from Miori Shiba, who said there was a business dinner in a few days and she needed a male companion to invite him to attend. Then came from Miyuki, who asked if he was free the next day, saying she wanted him to accompany her for a walk.

I don't know what's wrong with Miyuki. This time when I saw her, she didn't have the composure she usually has after experiencing such a thing. Instead, she became even more shy and awkward.

They all blushed when they were invited.

However, after thinking that there was nothing special going on tomorrow, Mahiro nodded in agreement.

Compared to others, he spent far less time with Miyuki.

So the next day, after having breakfast at the Yotsuba Clan family home, Miyuki, wearing her loungewear, hurriedly ran upstairs to change.

Maya and Yotsuba Miya, who were enjoying their morning tea after dinner, didn't react in any particular way. They simply exchanged a slight glance, their eyes filled with amusement.

Soon after, Miyuki jogged down from upstairs.

"Brother Mahiro, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It hasn't been long, but you look great in this outfit today, Miyuki."

Mahiro gave Miyuki a thumbs-up, his eyes filled with admiration, as if he were admiring the most precious treasure in the world.

Today, Miyuki's attire was different from her usual conservative style. She was wearing a short skirt, the design of which seemed to be from the early 2000s, perfectly accentuating and showing off the curves of her jade-like legs.

In addition, because she already has a cool-toned fair complexion, she appears somewhat translucent under the light-transmitting white silk.

Her upper body was covered by a white knit sweater, paired with a cream-colored blazer.

Although this combination would normally seem a bit odd, it works perfectly on Miyuki.

Today, Miyuki had tied her long, black hair into a simple ponytail, which hung down her slender back and swayed slightly with her steps.

Her fair neck, usually hidden by her long hair, was faintly visible behind the loose collar of her knitted sweater, creating an indescribable charm that further accentuated her youth and vitality.

It's safe to say that, given Miyuki's current appearance, no one would believe she's the head of the Yotsuba Family if she walked outside.

"Brother Mahiro, let's go."

Miyuki jogged up to Mahiro, her face flushed, but she still naturally took his arm.

The two walked side by side intimately, looking every bit like a young couple deeply in love.

However, in order to be able to go out with him alone this time, Miyuki did not bring any bodyguards, not even Sakurai Minami.

They said that if even Mahiro's brother couldn't handle the opponent, then bringing more bodyguards would be pointless.

What he said wasn't wrong, but something just felt off...

Throughout the journey, Miyuki's desire to communicate with him never ceased. She told him about interesting things that happened at school, as well as some trivial matters that occurred at the Yotsuba Family or on Mashima Island.

Mahiro listened attentively, showing no impatience whatsoever; on the contrary, he found it quite interesting.

Seeing Miyuki covering her mouth and giggling made me feel very happy.

Afterwards, Mahiro also told Miyuki about what happened during this time travel.

Unlike Erika, Miyuki experiences not only curiosity but also joy and anger as if she were feeling them herself.

Amidst their laughter and conversation, they arrived at their destination: a shopping mall in Roppongi, Tokyo.

Miyuki deliberately chose this location. Although there is a shopping street on Mashima Island, most of the people there are acquaintances, and especially for Mahiro, she didn't want her date to be disturbed.

Secondly, she heard that the shopping mall here was newly opened, so she also planned to come and take a look.

"Speaking of Miyuki, I remember you should be graduating soon, right?"

"Yes, March 15th this year."

Miyuki nodded, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she has gone from a clueless first-year high school student to a senior high school student that everyone envies.

From joining the Student Council to becoming the Student Council secretary, then the vice president, and finally taking over the Student Council duties from Nakajo Azusa, she is now handing them over to the next president.

Although her brother Mahiro, dropped out of school halfway through and didn't finish, many interesting and memorable things happened.

"By the way Mahiro -nii, would you like to come and attend Miyuki's graduation ceremony?"

"Can I? I remember that outsiders aren't allowed to attend the First High School's ceremony..." Mahiro asked doubtfully.
