"Did someone on the ship leak information?" Yunyi immediately felt a surge of suspicion.
Chen Mei shook her head upon hearing this. "No, it should be a problem with the shielding system. Our research ship has been keeping the shielding system on 24 hours a day to avoid being photographed by satellites in low Earth orbit. I think those three warships were probably just passing by by chance. After spotting us, they naturally wanted to verify our identity and nationality. Maybe they were trying to scan us with satellites and found something unusual."
"Tsk, what a hassle." Yunyi pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Regardless, they've already set their sights on us. And they were the ones who launched the first attack, so we have no choice but to sink them, right?" Chen Mei said.
Yunyi responded and was about to make his move when Chen Mei excitedly asked, "Hey, what kind of magic are you planning to use this time?"
"I'm telling you, I'm not putting on a monkey show!" Yunyi said helplessly.
"What does it matter? You've already put on so many fancy tricks, it won't hurt you to put on a show!" Chen Mei muttered.
"If you don't perform something, I'll tell Sister Yi that you used to sleep with my bra on when you were little, and you even drooled a lot!"
Seeing that Yunyi wouldn't agree, Chen Mei immediately unleashed her ultimate move!
Her words caused Yunyi, who had only taken two steps, to stumble and nearly fall to the ground!
"Damn it! You were the one who took it off and threw it next to me, is it my fault?!" Yunyi glared fiercely at Chen Mei, wondering if he could bear the consequences if he killed her.
However, Chen Mei wasn't afraid of his gaze. She crossed her arms and looked at Yunyi as if waiting for his reply.
In the end, Yunyi had no choice but to turn to look at the three warships in the distance and unleash a spell that Chen Mei had never seen before.
"Oh? Is this a newly developed spell? The power and range are quite good. How's the Activation Sequence editing going?" After seeing Yunyi's spell, Chen Mei immediately became excited.
She wasn't really interested in watching the spectacle; she wanted to see if Yunyi had developed any new magic during this time. This was crucial for their future plans.
" The Activation Sequence isn't finalized yet, and this magic only works when used near water or at sea, so it's not particularly practical," Yunyi said.
"Tsk tsk tsk, A-Yi, you can't say that! No matter what kind of magic it is, it has its purpose. Don't let practicality limit you! Besides, among the Thirteen Apostles, isn't Mio Itsuwa's Abyss a kind of magic? Isn't she a Strategic-Class Magic?"
Hearing Chen Mei's words, Yunyi nodded in agreement. He had indeed been getting a bit stuck on one thing; developing magic couldn't possibly make everyone an all-rounder.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go back. The longer you stay here, the more Sister Yi will dislike you." After comforting Yunyi, Chen Mei waved her hand and started to shoo him away.
Yunyi's mood, which had just begun to improve, plummeted again. He raised his finger and wrote the incantation for the Gate of Transfer, glaring at Chen Mei before stepping into the magic circle. "I can't bear to punish you, but your fiancé won't be so lucky. I'm going back to the Great Asian Alliance soon, Sister Mei, just wait for good news!"
As soon as he finished Kanon, Yunyi's figure had already disappeared from the research vessel.
Looking at the spot where Yunyi had disappeared, Chen Mei blinked blankly. "Fiancé? Who? Do I have one?"
When Yunyi returned to the Ogasawara Islands, Mayumi Saegusa and the others were still chatting.
When he appeared, everyone in the kitchen was taken aback. Why had he rushed off and returned in less than fifteen minutes?
" Yunyi-kun? You resolved it so quickly?"
Yunyi sighed helplessly and said, "It's nothing, not a big problem. It's just that Sister Mei is making a mountain out of a molehill."
The others were somewhat confused when they heard Yunyi say that. But Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.
After Yunyi introduced her to Shen Yi, he also talked to her about some family matters. As for Chen Mei, who had called him in the middle of the night and even called herself "Mom" in her panic, Yunyi had naturally introduced her to Mayumi Saegusa.
Knowing some of his deeds, Mayumi Saegusa immediately imagined what Yunyi's trip would be like upon hearing the name. However, her smile only made the others more confused.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. How's the dessert making going?" Yunyi didn't want to discuss too much of her family's business in front of outsiders, so she quickly changed the subject.
"It's already in the oven, it'll be ready to eat in a little while. What, Yunyi, are you looking forward to it?" Honoka Mitsui asked.
"I'm not too excited about it." Yunyi scratched his head. He didn't really like desserts, but seeing Mayumi Saegusa's enthusiastic expression, he couldn't say he wasn't looking forward to it.
"Since Yunyi-kun isn't really looking forward to it, then I'll share your portion with Kasumi and Izumi. They both really love sweets," Mayumi Saegusa threatened Yunyi.
Yunyi rolled his eyes in annoyance. He wasn't a child anymore, so there was nothing wrong with giving it to a child.
Seeing that Yunyi was so uncooperative, Mayumi Saegusa decisively kicked him out of the kitchen.
Watching the two of them playfully teasing each other, a hint of envy flashed in Shizuku Kitayama's eyes. But Yunyi's words that night were a constant reminder to her to "pull back from the brink."
Yunyi, returning to the living room, paused slightly. Looking at Miyuki Shiba sitting alone in the living room, he asked with some confusion, "Where's your brother? Why did he leave you here all alone?"
"My brother went to help Kasumi and Izumi debug the CAD," Miyuki Shiba said with a hint of helplessness.
Her words clearly carried a hint of resentment, but Yunyi simply chuckled and said, "Oh? He actually agreed? I thought he would definitely find an excuse to refuse."
"If your brother refuses, you'll find other reasons to get his help, won't you?" Miyuki Shiba countered.
To her surprise, upon hearing her question, Yunyi shook her head and said, "Just how bad a person do you take me for? I wouldn't really force Tatsuya. Even if he refuses, I won't say anything."
" Yunyi, can I ask you a question?" Just as Yunyi was about to end the conversation and turn to go upstairs, Miyuki Shiba asked the question.
"Hmm? What do you want to ask? But let me make this clear first, I don't want to get involved in anything related to the Yotsuba Family. If it's something else entirely, then it's best not to ask," Yunyi said.
"Yes, it's about me," said Miyuki Shiba.
