The Infinite Dimensions Starting from The Irregular at Magic High School

The reason Erika and Mizuki knew the Shiba siblings was that they had been placed in the same class as Shiba Tatsuya.

Along the way, the group laughed and fooled around.

Erika in particular kept teasing Mahiro and Miyuki.

At first, Miyuki could still handle it, but later she was teased until her face turned bright red, and she did not even dare lift her head.

Shiba Tatsuya, who was beside them, showed no particular reaction.

That was normal. After all, that was just the kind of person he was. As long as Miyuki was not hurt, he basically did not react much.

Mizuki, on the other hand, grew quiet along the way.

She kept studying him and the Shiba siblings with a subtle gaze.

Mahiro noticed her gaze, so he turned his head and asked curiously, "Shibata, what's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"Ah, no..."

Mizuki waved her hands in a fluster and shook her head, but after hesitating for a moment, she still voiced the doubt in her heart.

"It's just... I was thinking that you probably aren't short on money, Yotsuba. So why are you renting a place to live?"

At the mention of this question, Erika also realized it and immediately looked at Yotsuba Mahiro.

The Yotsuba Family of the Ten Master Clans was a colossus, even more terrifying than her Chiba Family. It was said to have already faintly stood at the pinnacle of the Ten Master Clans.

As the heir, how could Mahiro possibly go out and rent a place to live?

However, faced with their questions, obvious panic appeared on Miyuki's face, and she did not know how to answer.

She could only look to Mahiro for help.

Seeing their reactions, the corner of Mahiro's mouth curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

They had finally asked the right question!

So he brought out the explanation he had given Mayumi Saegusa back then and tearfully repeated it to the others.

After listening, Erika and Mizuki both wore expressions of astonished shock.

"So Yotsuba, you were driven out of the house by the head of the Yotsuba Family?"

Miyuki also looked at him in disbelief, then shifted slightly without leaving a trace and came to his side, whispering, "Brother Mahiro, if Aunt finds out you're smearing her name outside like this..."

"Heh, who cares about that old woman?" Mahiro smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all.

This was nothing. Not worth mentioning.

However, from this day onward, his reputation as an abandoned son of the Yotsuba Family could be considered set in stone.

Yet little did he know that this would also become the beginning of his troubles.

An Invitation to Become a Maid Caught in a Pincer Attack?

On the second day of high school life, everything was as usual when he woke up.

Even if he had run from the Fourth Laboratory to study at First High, the Earth's rotation would not change.

The only thing that would change was the relationships around Mahiro.

Just like yesterday, after getting up, he washed up, then changed into First High's uniform.

But when he went out, he saw that the girl was already standing outside his door, seemingly having waited for a long time.

"Good morning, Brother Mahiro!"

"Miyuki? Where's Tatsuya? Why isn't he by your side?"

That was right.

Unlike yesterday, today there was only Miyuki standing there all alone. Her guardian and older brother, Shiba Tatsuya, was nowhere to be seen.

Miyuki replied with slight embarrassment, "Brother... went to visit Teacher Yakumo Kokonoe. He'll go to school a little later, so today it's just me..."

"Tch. Whether as a guardian or as an older brother, that guy Tatsuya is completely unqualified!"

Mahiro grumbled indignantly.

In fact, this was not the first time something like this had happened.

He had encountered it before, the first time he left the Fourth Laboratory.

He remembered it had been in Okinawa. When Tatsuya received an invitation from the Okinawa base, he had once left Miyuki behind and gone there alone.

Back then, it had been him and Sakurai Honami who accompanied Miyuki through that period.

And now he was doing it again!

And he had even run off to that bald donkey Yakumo Kokonoe!

"It's all right. Although Brother is my guardian, he also has his own relationships. I don't mind."

She said she did not mind, but the smile on Miyuki's face was somewhat forced.

Only Miyuki was this tolerant and magnanimous.

If it had been any other magician, they probably would have thrown Tatsuya back into the research institute long ago...

Oh, no—Miyuki was Tatsuya's fuse. Other than Miyuki and the late Yotsuba Miya, basically no one could deal with that overpowered main-character type.

Not even that old hag Maya could.

"It's okay. Since Brother Tatsuya won't go with you, Brother Mahiro will!"

Mahiro took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently put an arm around Miyuki's shoulders.

"Mm..."

Miyuki gave a soft murmur and lightly rested her head against his chest. In an instant, a tempting pale pink spread over her fair cheeks.

"And Brother said... he feels at ease leaving Miyuki to you, Brother Mahiro..."

She said it in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, but Mahiro still heard it.

"Is that so? Tatsuya isn't afraid I might steal away his most precious little sister one day?"

"Honestly, Brother Mahiro, what nonsense are you saying!"

Though he had said it half in jest, it still made Miyuki slip out of his arms and glare at him with a coquettish huff.

Her cheeks turned even redder, like the cherry blossoms scattering through the streets, showing a faint sakura pink.

On the first day of school, the classroom of Year One, Class A was shrouded in a chaotic atmosphere—or rather, every freshman class was probably the same.

Because many students had already met one another yesterday, quite a few small groups had already formed in the classroom today.

Mahiro looked at the number on the desk and found his own terminal device.

Bad news: his seat was by the window in the back row, a bit far from Miyuki.

Good news: the area around him was full of beautiful girls.

It was just a little subtle.

They were both Adjusted Bodies, yet Miyuki was clearly much more popular. Plenty of classmates had already gathered around her, asking this and that.

As for his side, although quite a few gazes were sizing him up in secret, no one ever dared to come forward and talk.

Perhaps because of the Yotsuba name, they kept him at a respectful distance.

He had no idea what his mother had done to provoke such universal outrage that she could make the other families fear her this much.

So Mahiro simply could not be bothered to care and started adjusting the terminal device on his desk by himself.

Before long, two beautiful girls seated near him came over and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Y-you... hello, I'm Mitsui Honoka. P-please take care of me!"

"Oh?"

Mahiro shifted his gaze away from the terminal, and what entered his eyes was a cute girl with two adorable chestnut twin-tails.

Beside her was a gray-haired, expressionless "loli," whose gaze toward him was filled with curiosity.

"Hello, Mitsui. I'm Yotsuba Mahiro. Please take care of me from now on."

Mahiro showed as friendly a smile as he could.

The moment Honoka saw his smile, her cheeks immediately turned red.

How shy.

And after the introductions, he learned that the expressionless loli beside her was named Kitayama Shizuku.

He had some impression of her. If he remembered correctly, she was the daughter of the great Kitayama Family conglomerate. Her father, Kitayama Ushio, had no magical talent, but he was an active businessman who often appeared on the news.

As the bell rang, the first day of classes at First High School officially began.

However, when the first class ended, the classroom suddenly grew restless.

Everyone's gazes turned toward the classroom door.

"Hey, who's that? She's so pretty!"

"Idiot, that's a third-year senior, the student council president, Mayumi Saegusa!"

"Huh? What's the student council president doing in the first-year area? Is she here for Shiba?"

"Of course. Who else would she be here for, you?"

Amid the first-years' whispering, Mayumi, who was standing at the entrance of Class A, leaned halfway inside and found her target.

"Junior Mahiro, could you come out with me for a moment? There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"Senior Mayumi, what did you suddenly come to see me for?"

He had no idea what this senior from the Saegusa Family was thinking.

She had actually taken advantage of the break between classes to bring him to the café, and even specially ordered him a cup of coffee.

The students coming and going around them were all watching.

But Mayumi seemed not to care in the slightest. She picked up her black tea and took a light sip, then set the cup down before finally speaking in earnest.

"Mahiro, I called you here because I'd like to invite you to join the Public Morals Committee."

"?"

Mahiro was a little slow to react, and slowly typed out several question marks.

Hello? Wasn't that topic shift a little too fast? They were getting straight to the point already?

"Because there's still one vacant spot on the Public Morals Committee this year, I brought up your name, Mahiro."

"Then, after careful discussion between the Student Council, the Public Morals Committee, and the Club Federation, it was decided that you would join the Public Morals Committee."

"Sigh..."

Mahiro sighed softly. "Mayumi, please don't joke around with me."

"How is this a decision reached through discussion by three parties? It's simply an internal decision by the Ten Master Clans, isn't it?"

"Ah! You noticed!"

Mayumi stuck out her little pink tongue and put on a deliberately cute act. "But you can't really put it that way. After all, Mari isn't from one of the clans."

Mm, that was true.

But the Watanabe family was also one of the branch families of the Hundred Families.

"Mayumi, if I remember correctly, members of the Public Morals Committee need to carry a CAD at all times, and enforce the rules by force when necessary, right?"

Mahiro said with a headache, "Mayumi, I don't even have a CAD. How am I supposed to join the Public Morals Committee?"

"That's also why I chose this place to talk with you, Mahiro."
