"As expected, there are terrorists infiltrated into the organizing committee this time!" Katsuto Jumonji exclaimed.
Yunyi wasn't surprised that he could guess this. This guy looked big and burly, and a bit older than his age. But in a sense, Katsuto Jumonji was actually a meticulous person.
Yunyi and Tatsuya Shiba exchanged glances, and then Yun Yi recounted all the information they knew.
After listening to what the two of them said, Katsuto Jumonji felt a bit of a headache.
The Nine Schools Competition has always touted itself as having the fairest competitive environment, but now not only has it been infiltrated by terrorists into the organizing committee, they almost managed to rewrite the final results. If this were to come to light, none of the high-ranking members of the organizing committee would escape punishment!
Yunyi was perfectly aware of why Katsuto Jumonji was having such a headache. However, he didn't want to waste time racking his brains with Katsuto Jumonji, so after glancing at Mayumi Saegusa beside him, he immediately said, "Then, I'll leave this matter to you Chief Jumonji. I'm a bit tired after a long day, so I'll go rest now."
After saying that, he grabbed the still somewhat dazed Mayumi Saegusa and decisively slipped away.
Watching the two of them slip away so easily, Tatsuya Shiba stood up. Since Yunyi had already run away, he naturally didn't want to stay here and do the hard work. So, after glancing at Miyuki Shiba, he decisively said goodbye and left.
Before long, only Katsuto Jumonji and Mari Watanabe remained in the conference room.
At this moment, Mari Watanabe was completely exasperated. She was practically cursing Yunyi to death in her mind! This guy, if you're going to leave, why take Mayumi with you? A member of the Ten Master Clans ran away, leaving her, a member of the Hundred Families, stuck here making a scene?
" Watanabe, you should go back too. I need to think about this."
Fortunately, Katsuto Jumonji didn't intend to discuss this matter with Mari Watanabe.
Upon hearing what Katsuto Jumonji said, Mari Watanabe got up and left without hesitation. She was truly not good at handling this kind of situation.
Mayumi Saegusa Yunyi. Only after the door closed did she ask, puzzled, " Mayumi Saegusa- Yunyi-kun, why did you do this?"
"What do you mean, 'why'? Do you want to stay there and get a headache?" Yunyi retorted.
But I am, after all,...
Before Mayumi Saegusa could finish speaking, Yunyi's fingers were already pressed against her lips.
"By being with me, you're destined to give up your identity as a member of the Ten Master Clans. So, start getting used to it from this point on."
Mayumi Saegusa was actually prepared for what Yunyi said.
"It's not that I'm attached to the identity of the Ten Master Clans, but Jumonji-kun is also my friend. Can't I help him share some of the burden?" Mayumi Saegusa complained slightly.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about that! Anyway, there are more than just the two of you from the Ten Master Clans here. Isn't that Ichijou Ichijo Family also from the Ten Master Clans? He's even the head of a servant family! Let Jumonji go find him."
" Yunyi-kun, really." Mayumi Saegusa helplessly. She rolled her eyes at Yunyi and then pushed him into the bathroom.
"Go wash up, you smell of blood, it's awful," Mayumi Saegusa complained.
Meanwhile, in Tatsuya Shiba's room, Miyuki Shiba was looking at her older brother with disbelief.
"Brother, is what you're saying true?"
"It's true. Yunyi is the one who kidnapped Hajime Tsukasa in that abandoned factory."
At this moment, Miyuki Shiba's expression could no longer be described as panic. She covered her mouth with both hands, and the look in her eyes kept changing.
" Miyuki!"
Noticing that Miyuki Shiba acting strangely, Tatsuya Shiba immediately pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
" Miyuki, don't worry. Although Yunyi's way of doing things is a bit strange, he's not the kind of person who would easily reveal secrets. As for the matter of the Yotsuba Family, it won't have any impact if he finds out. After all, that guy's aversion to the Ten Master Clans is completely undisguised," said Tatsuya Shiba.
"But he and the president..."
Miyuki Shiba was worried that if Yunyi was with Mayumi Saegusa, there was no guarantee he wouldn't tell her. Wouldn't that mean their identities would be known to the Mayumi Saegusa Family?
" Miyuki, believe me, this will be alright." Tatsuya Shiba didn't seem worried at all; he continued to try his best to Miyuki Shiba's emotions.
"I understand, brother," said Miyuki Shiba. "But after knowing all this, I understand what Yunyi meant by what he told me."
"Hmm? Did he say anything to you?" Tatsuya Shiba asked, puzzled.
"Constantly hiding and enduring will only make you a pawn, someone used to control others." Miyuki Shiba repeated Yunyi's words.
"Really? He said all that?" Tatsuya Shiba pondered. "This guy, I wonder how much he actually knows. Honestly, he's a real headache."
In Yunyi's room.
Yunyi had already fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a ringing bell.
Yunyi frowned as he answered the phone, but before he could even speak, an angry voice came through the receiver. " Yunyi, you bastard! Why did you throw in a guy with a missing arm?! That guy made a mess of my lab!"
This roar Mayumi Saegusa, who was huddled in Yunyi's arms, awake.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, " Yunyi-kun, who is it so late?"
Mayumi Saegusa's voice came through the receiver to the person on the other end of the line. The person immediately fell silent, then said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry to bother you, child. Mom will call you again tomorrow."
Without waiting for Yunyi's reply, the person hung up the phone. However, Mayumi Saegusa heard her voice clearly.
"Mother?"
Mayumi Saegusa was wide awake now. She looked at Yunyi, who had a helpless expression on his face, with a panic, hoping to get some different answer from him.
Yunyi pinched the bridge of his nose, tossed his phone aside, and reached out to rub Mayumi Saegusa's head, calming her flustered emotions.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's not my mom! My dad was worried I'd grow up to be a bad person, so he found someone to take care of me. It's just that when I was little, she always called herself 'Mom,' and over time she got used to it. So whenever she gets excited or flustered, she subconsciously refers to herself as 'Mom.'"
"Pfft~"
Hearing Yunyi's explanation and seeing the helpless look on his face, Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but laugh. She suddenly felt a little curious to meet Yunyi's "mother" and see what kind of person she was.
