The following morning.
Yunyi, who was having breakfast, was quite surprised to receive a call from Tatsuya Shiba.
" Tatsuya, why are you contacting me so early?"
" Yunyi, we're back, and the guests have arrived. If it's alright, how about we meet at noon?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"Noon?" Yunyi thought for a moment and immediately agreed, "No problem. Are you coming over to my place, or should I come to you?"
"As for the location, let's choose my and Miyuki's house. After all, our guests will be here too. I'll send you the location," Tatsuya Shiba said.
"Okay, it's settled then. Oh, by the way, are the guests also from your family? Should I go over there myself?" Yunyi asked again.
"It's alright, the chairman can pass. Things have changed on our side, so there's no need to keep it from the chairman any longer," Tatsuya Shiba said.
"Oh?" Yunyi asked with a slight doubt, "It seems I need to prepare a gift for my inauguration?"
Hearing Yunyi's teasing, Tatsuya Shiba sighed softly, "Please spare Miyuki, I beg you."
"Haha, what are you saying? I've never made things difficult for your sister. Let's leave it at that for now, see you at noon," Yunyi said.
Tatsuya Shiba responded and then hung up the phone.
Yunyi put down his phone and looked at Mayumi Saegusa sitting next to him, saying, "We're going to Tatsuya's house for lunch."
"Yes, I heard that. But Yunyi-kun, I vaguely heard that you don't need to hide anything from me. Is there something you're hiding from me?" Mayumi Saegusa asked.
"Don't overthink it." Yunyi quickly interrupted Mayumi Saegusa's thoughts, "It's about Tatsuya and Miyuki's identities. They're from the Yotsuba Family, I don't need to elaborate, right?"
" Yotsuba Clan!? This is really..." Mayumi Saegusa was startled by the news.
"Well, they wanted to keep it hidden, so I didn't tell you. But you should have had your suspicions, right?"
"I did have my suspicions, but I thought it was from the Lost Number Lineage. I never expected it to be the Yotsuba Family. But Yunyi-kun, the relationship between the Great Asian Alliance and the Yotsuba Family is one of fierce rivalry. It's a miracle that you and Tatsuya-kun can become friends," said Mayumi Saegusa.
"Friends come in many forms. If it doesn't involve too many stances, maintaining the status quo is fine. But if it involves stances, we won't hesitate to kill. Whether it's Tatsuya or Yotsuba Clan," Yunyi said.
"Then I can only hope that day never comes," Mayumi Saegusa said somewhat discouragedly.
Yunyi chuckled and didn't continue the topic.
After having breakfast, the two of them had a phone call with Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa, who were staying at the Saegusa Family mansion, and chatted for a while.
The two little ones originally wanted to come over as soon as they knew Yunyi was back, but after learning that the two of them had other plans for lunch, they had to postpone their "moving" plans for the time being.
"By the way, Brother Yunyi, I've already managed to open one of the small doors."
Just as Yunyi was about to hang up the phone, Izumi Saegusa suddenly brought up the topic of Spatial Magic.
Hearing her words, Yunyi was stunned.
"So fast?"
"Yes, it was small, but we succeeded last night! I was going to tell my sister and have her pass it on to you, but you're already back!" Izumi Saegusa was very excited.
"It seems that Little Izumi is really suited for Spatial Magic. Here, after you come over, I'll teach you some tips. After you've gotten used to it, you can try teleportation-type Spatial Magic," Yunyi said.
"A movement-type? Is it Gate of Transfer?" Kasumi Saegusa exclaimed in surprise.
She had thought that Yunyi's Spatial Magic teaching Izumi would only involve opening a spatial portal and putting things inside. The fact that she could learn Gate of Transfer made her quite envious.
"How could it be Gate of Transfer!" Yunyi said irritably, "Don't let its simplicity fool you, that magic isn't so easy to master. I'm talking about teleportation, like Teleportation. Whether Izumi can learn it depends on whether she's suited for it."
After hearing Yunyi's explanation, Kasumi Saegusa finally suppressed her jealous expression. Unfortunately, she hadn't yet shown any particular affinity for any type of magic. Otherwise, she might have been able to learn some powerful spells herself.
After hanging up the phone, Mayumi Saegusa a smile, " Kasumi is envious."
"Envy? That's more like jealousy, isn't it? But Mayumi, aren't you jealous?" Yunyi teased.
"Me? I wouldn't be jealous of my sister! But Yunyi-kun, why Izumi so sensitive to spatial attributes, while the twins Kasumi are so oblivious?" Mayumi Saegusa, somewhat puzzled.
Yunyi shook his head; this question was clearly beyond his ability to explain. Perhaps it was due to the bloodline of the Saegusa Family, or some other very hidden characteristic.
Around noon, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa left home together. His appearance immediately put those who were keeping watch around the area into action.
Before they could even approach, the motorcycle, roaring, carried Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa out of their sight.
"Quickly, report Yunyi's appearance! This guy has been hiding at home the whole time!" the person in charge of surveillance roared angrily.
The Shiba Residence.
Upon hearing the approaching roar, Tatsuya Shiba knew that Yunyi and the others were almost there. Seeing him get up and walk towards the gate, Yuuka Tsukuba immediately tensed up.
Not long after, the engine noise subsided, and the doorbell rang. After confirming that Yunyi was there, Tatsuya Shiba pushed open the door and went out.
"Hey, Tatsuya, I'm here to mooch a meal." Yunyi teased with a smile.
Tatsuya Shiba paused slightly, his hand on the doorknob almost slamming the door shut again, giving Yunyi the cold shoulder!
" Yunyi-kun, really." Mayumi Saegusa helplessly. She always felt that Yunyi was deliberately teasing Tatsuya Shiba.
Her guess was actually correct; Yunyi was indeed doing it on purpose. Adding all sorts of expressions to an emotionless poker face was incredibly entertaining for amusement!
Following Tatsuya Shiba into the house, they met Miyuki Shiba and exchanged pleasantries.
However, amidst the pleasantries, Yunyi's attention had already shifted to Yuuka Tsukuba.
" Tatsuya, is this the person you were talking about?" Yunyi asked.
"This is Yuuka Tsukuba," Tatsuya Shiba said.
" Senpai Fumiya? You, how could you!?" Mayumi Saegusa looked at Yuuka Tsukuba in surprise.
