Saegusa Family.
The banquet was very lavish, Mrs. Saegusa dined with Yunyi and her three daughters throughout the meal. Although she had a lot to say, she ultimately remained silent.
After dinner, Mayumi Saegusa led Yunyi for a stroll in the mansion's garden. During their conversation, Mayumi Saegusa recounted many amusing incidents that happened there when she was a child, as well as some unforgettable memories.
Yunyi listened to her words, occasionally offering a word of agreement, but never interrupting.
Only when Mayumi Saegusa finished recounting her memories and stopped walking did Yunyi speak up and ask, "Did you waver, or does your family want you to do something?"
" Yunyi-kun, you really are very perceptive." Mayumi Saegusa, "It's my mother who wants me to vie for the position of head of the Saegusa Family, and it seems that my father also intends to do so."
"Huh? Is that so?" Yunyi was also somewhat surprised.
"Logically speaking, she shouldn't be giving you such advice. If you really become the head of the Saegusa Family, then the Saegusa Family won't be under Saegusa's control anymore. It's such a simple problem, even if she doesn't understand, your old fox father understands it very well. They don't think that the Saegusa Family can hold me back, do they?"
"I think the most likely reason they did this is to use your relationship with me to protect themselves?"
Hearing Yunyi's conjecture, Mayumi Saegusa.
" Yunyi-kun, I really want to see how your brain works. How come you can always sort out such complicated things in such a short time?" Mayumi Saegusa confusion.
Yunyi simply smiled at her question. Surely this wasn't a necessary qualification for being a proper entertainer? If he dared to say that, he'd probably be in Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa.
"But my mother told me that a man like you will have many women in the future. She wants me to take control of the Saegusa Family and make it a bargaining chip in my hands. Yunyi-kun, what do you think I should do?" Mayumi Saegusa asked teasingly.
"Just because of that?" Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
" Mayumi, you and Mrs. Saegusa seem to have misunderstood something. It's not that the Saegusa Family can only be a bargaining chip if you control it; rather, the Saegusa Family only has value if it's under your control."
"Huh? Aren't they all the same?" Mayumi Saegusa asked, puzzled.
"Is it the same? For the Saegusa family, perhaps it is. But for you, it's definitely not the same. Your parents want you to take control of the Saegusa Family and become the head of the family, and I don't object to that. But there's a prerequisite: you yourself must want to sit in that position. My woman doesn't need to be the head of any family; just the fact that she's mine is enough. Everything else is just embellishment for you; it's not a bargaining chip, it's not something that can be taken seriously," Yunyi said.
"Ugh, Yunyi-kun, you're so arrogant. I'm still Saegusa's daughter, aren't you afraid I'll get angry if you say that?" Mayumi Saegusa rolled her eyes at Yunyi, annoyed. This guy really didn't take Saegusa seriously.
Yunyi chuckled and whispered something in Mayumi Saegusa's ear. Hearing his words, Mayumi Saegusa's cheeks flushed crimson. She raised her hand and slapped Yunyi hard, "You're a complete and utter scoundrel!"
The conversation about the ownership of the Saegusa Family ended amidst the two's casual banter. Neither of them continued the discussion, as it was no longer important to them.
As time passed, Mayumi Saegusa's mood grew increasingly depressed.
She knew that the time to part ways with Yunyi was fast approaching.
When Yunyi accompanied her on vacation, she had already sensed his intention to leave. At this time, she couldn't stay by Yunyi 'Yunyi side forever. This was not only because of her status, but also because of her abilities.
What Yunyi is about to do goes beyond the word "crazy." The scale of the situation is also not something that can be overturned overnight. All she can do now is stay at home and wait for Yunyi to return.
" Yunyi-kun, is it only by becoming Strategic-Class Magic that I'll be qualified to face this together with you?" Mayumi Saegusa asked softly as their parting drew near.
"Hmm? Why do you ask that?" Yunyi asked, puzzled. He didn't understand why Mayumi Saegusa was so concerned about this identity.
"It's nothing, it's just that the thought of you leaving soon makes me feel a bit useless. I want to help you, but it seems my strength isn't even enough to stand by your side," Mayumi Saegusa said dejectedly, expressing her thoughts.
"So that's what you're thinking? Then you can come back with me. Anyway, your existence has already been exposed. With you by my side, I won't have to worry about your safety," Yunyi said.
"Huh? Is that okay? I thought you didn't want to take me back."
Hearing Yunyi's words, Mayumi Saegusa felt a little excited. She didn't want to be a caged canary, but rather a partner who could always stay by Yunyi's side and share his joys and sorrows.
"If you want it, nothing is impossible."
"Then, Yunyi-kun, you'd better remember to take me with you from now on," Mayumi Saegusa chuckled.
Seeing the smile return to her face, Yunyi reached out and gently pinched her nose.
"Not coming this time?" Yunyi teased.
"Ugh, I'll let it go this time. Yunyi-kun, just this once, okay? I'll wait for you at home. Next time, you have to take me with you."
Yunyi nodded, then reached out and hugged Mayumi Saegusa. Under her reluctant gaze, he wrote the incantation for the Gate of Transfer.
Great Asian Alliance.
In an old-fashioned mansion, Yunyi and an old man sitting in a chair looked at each other.
The old man's teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound the moment Yunyi appeared.
After a moment, the old man sighed heavily, "You little brat, are you trying to scare this old man to death?!"
Yunyi shrugged. "Come on, if this little thing could scare you to death, your grave would be covered in grass by now!"
"You brat, not a single word you say is pleasing to the ear!" the old man snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
"So, tell me, what brought you back?"
"What could I possibly be doing? Would you believe me if I said I came back for vacation?" Yunyi retorted.
"You've already made up your mind? You should know the consequences of doing this! Little Yi, I..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Yunyi raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Grandpa, please stop! Those bastards have been causing me trouble for ages! If it weren't for them, my mother wouldn't be all alone overseas!"
"You said back then that you'd handle all of this. But all these years have passed, and what have you solved? All you ever tell me is to consider the bigger picture! I'm telling you clearly now, I don't care about the bigger picture anymore! This time, either you continue to keep quiet, or you bring your Yun Family and try to stand in my way!"
