As night fell, the four, tired from playing, returned indoors.

The four of them washed themselves, changed into clean clothes, and then went downstairs to have a meal together.

During the meal, Kasumi Saegusa strongly condemned Mayumi Saegusa and Yunyi for making fun of her. She only relented after Mayumi Saegusa promised to "practice magic with you tomorrow."

In fact, Kasumi Saegusa also wanted to bring Yunyi along, since Yunyi was the one who came up with those bad ideas that afternoon. But her suggestion was rejected by Mayumi Saegusa as soon as she made it.

" Yunyi-kun is very strict when he teaches. If you two try to learn from him, you might get scolded until you cry, so it's better not to."

Mayumi Saegusa's explanation left the twins somewhat bewildered, but Yunyi himself didn't care, since he wouldn't need to intervene anyway, and he was happy for Mayumi Saegusa to say whatever pleased her.

Just as the group was chatting in the living room, Mayumi Saegusa's phone suddenly rang.

"Hmm? Miyuki? What does she want to talk to me about so late?" Mayumi Saegusa asked, answering Miyuki Shiba's call with a puzzled look.

"Hello? Miyuki?"

"Um, President, this is Miyuki. I'm sorry to bother you so late, but my brother has something he wants to ask Yunyi, but he doesn't seem to have his phone with him."

Upon hearing Miyuki Shiba's words, Mayumi Saegusa turned her gaze to Yunyi beside her.

Yunyi took the phone and said directly, "This is Yunyi. What do you want?"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Tatsuya Shiba's voice finally came through.

" Yunyi, this is Tatsuya. I'm calling to ask about what happened this afternoon. Did anything happen on your end?"

Upon hearing that Tatsuya Shiba asked about this matter, Yunyi immediately said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he put the phone away and whispered in Mayumi Saegusa's ear, " Tatsuya asked me about what happened this afternoon. I'll go over there and tell him. You stay here with the two kids, and I'll tell you in a bit."

"Okay, then go ahead," said Mayumi Saegusa.

After Yunyi took the phone and went outside, he continued into the receiver, "This afternoon, I suddenly had a feeling of danger, so I checked around. But I didn't find anything here, and I can't be sure if it was just my imagination. Tatsuya, what about you? Is anything unusual?"

"Is it unusual? I don't sense anything like that. But I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll let you know if anything happens," Tatsuya Shiba replied.

"OK, it's settled then," Yunyi replied.

Just as he was about to hang up, Tatsuya Shiba added, "By the way Yunyi, Miyuki and the others want to visit the chairman tomorrow. Is it convenient for you there?"

"Huh? You guys are coming over? All of you together?" Yunyi asked back.

Tatsuya Shiba was silent for a moment, seemingly confirming the number of people coming to visit. After a while, he replied, "We'll go together."

"Okay, then how about coming over in the evening? I'll have someone arrange it; we can have an outdoor barbecue or something," Yunyi suggested.

"Okay, then we'll go visit tomorrow evening."

After agreeing on a time, Yunyi hung up the phone. When he returned home, the twins had already gone to rest. They had played all day and were tired.

Seeing Yunyi return, Mayumi Saegusa immediately went to greet him. After taking the phone from Yunyi, she asked, " Yunyi-kun, what exactly happened this afternoon? You didn't seem to be alright."

"In the afternoon, I suddenly had a feeling that danger was about to strike." Yunyi didn't hide anything and told him directly.

"Danger?" Mayumi Saegusa confusion, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Are they the same people as last time?"

"No, this time it shouldn't be." Yunyi shook his head and said, "When I sensed something was amiss, I immediately took to the air to search around the island and even used magic to investigate the sea, but I didn't find anything unusual."

"I think this might be my imagination. Ever since I learned that my information had been leaked through the ' Supreme Throne,' I might have been overly paranoid."

"I see. But Yunyi-kun, shouldn't we still be careful?" Mayumi Saegusa suggested.

"Yes, you're right. Don't worry, I'll be more careful when we're out," Yunyi replied.

He put his arm around Mayumi Saegusa and said, "Alright, it's getting late, shall we go and rest?"

"Are you sure? This is practically Saegusa Family, you know. If the servants find out we're sleeping together, aren't you afraid my father will cause you trouble?" Mayumi Saegusa teased Yunyi.

"I bet he was already prepared for me to eat you up the very first day you moved out. It's too late for him to realize that now," Yunyi rolled her eyes.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa punched Yunyi twice in annoyance, but still followed him into a bedroom.

Just as the two lay down, Yunyi suddenly said, "By the way, Tatsuya said they'll be visiting you tomorrow evening. I've already agreed on your behalf."

"Hmm, in the evening? Then I'll have someone make arrangements to entertain them tomorrow," Mayumi Saegusa replied.

After chatting for a few more minutes, they said goodnight to each other.

On the other side, Tatsuya Shiba stood alone on the rooftop of the villa.

He pushed his " Elemental Sight " to its limit, meticulously observing everything within his field of vision.

He closed his eyes after an unknown amount of time. His findings were the same as Yunyi's: there was absolutely no sign of impending danger in the surrounding sea or on the small island belonging to the Kitayama Family.

"It seems this time it really was just his imagination."
