"You two know each other?" Yunyi turned to look at Mayumi Saegusa.
"Yeah, but I didn't expect that Senpai Fumiya is also from the Yotsuba Family," Mayumi Saegusa said.
"Oh, their whole family is like that, pretending to be ordinary people and all that, it's so cliché," Yunyi complained.
"Hey! When you entered First High School, you were even more pretentious than them!" Mayumi Saegusa retorted irritably.
The two of them were arguing back and forth like they were having a fight, leaving the three members of the Yotsuba Family watching in stunned silence.
"Um, why don't we sit down first?" Seeing that Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa seemed about to continue arguing, Miyuki Shiba quickly spoke up to stop them.
After everyone was seated, Yuuka Tsukuba finally spoke, "It's been a long time Mayumi."
Mayumi Saegusa responded and chatted with Yuuka Tsukuba for a couple of minutes before turning the conversation back to the main topic.
"So, Tatsuya, this Yuuka Tsukuba is the one you were going to recommend to me, the one skilled in Mental Interference Magic? Now that we've already laid our cards on the table, it shouldn't be a problem for me to call you Yotsuba Clan, right?" Yunyi asked.
"Well, it hasn't been announced yet, so let's leave it at that. But Fumiya is indeed very skilled in Mental Interference Magic, and I think she should be able to meet your requirements," Tatsuya Shiba said.
Yunyi glanced at the somewhat reserved Yuuka Tsukuba, and he could see the resistance in the other's eyes.
"Is this at the request of your queen?" Yunyi turned to look at Miyuki Shiba and asked.
After a moment of silence, Miyuki Shiba nodded.
"Oh, I see. That vixen, she's got a whole set of tricks up her sleeve," Yunyi muttered under her breath.
His voice was too soft for Yuuka Tsukuba, who was sitting opposite him, to hear clearly, but Mayumi Saegusa and Tatsuya Shiba, who were sitting next to him, could hear it very clearly.
Mayumi Saegusa suppressed the urge to laugh, while Tatsuya Shiba remained deaf to the noise.
"Since you recommended it, let's give it a try. This guy we caught is no ordinary person; it would be a waste if we weren't careful," Yunyi said.
Upon hearing his words, Yuuka Tsukuba was slightly taken aback. Not only him, Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba were somewhat puzzled.
"How are you going to test it? Mental interference magic isn't something you can just use casually," Tatsuya Shiba reminded him.
Yunyi nonchalantly pointed to himself and said, "Come on, just use your magic on me. I have my own way of judging."
"Hey, Yunyi, this is too risky," Tatsuya Shiba immediately stopped him.
Miyuki Shiba and Yuuka Tsukuba, both skilled in Mental Interference Magic, echoed Tatsuya Shiba's words, trying to persuade Yunyi to give up the idea.
" Yunyi-kun, is everything alright?"
Just then, Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa asked a question.
Yunyi chuckled and nodded. He wasn't really letting Yuuka Tsukuba use magic on his head; he would still deploy defensive magic.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. You're Yuuka Tsukuba, right? Don't be afraid, come on," Yunyi said.
Yuuka Tsukuba was speechless at his words. She looked at Tatsuya Shiba, wanting her younger brother to give her some advice.
Tatsuya Shiba looked at Yunyi for a moment, and seeing that Yunyi seemed very confident, he nodded to Yuuka Tsukuba and said, " Fumiya, let's do as he says."
Seeing that everyone agreed with Yunyi's statement, Yuuka Tsukuba gritted her teeth and made a decision. She chose a control-type mental magic spell and kindly reminded Yunyi during the Activation Sequence.
You'd better watch out.
However, Yunyi simply nodded slightly, indicating that she was ready.
Seeing Yuuka Tsukuba no longer hesitated and immediately activated her magic. However, to her surprise, her magic vanished without a trace when it touched Yunyi, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
"What!? What's going on!?" Yuuka Tsukuba asked in surprise.
On the other hand, Yunyi's eyes lit up! He had just cast a defensive spell as well, but it wasn't his usual Mirror Reflection. Otherwise, Yuuka Tsukuba would be experiencing the effects of his own Mental Interference Magic right now.
Upon sensing the level of Yuuka Tsukuba's Mental Interference Magic, Yunyi's eyes immediately lit up.
"As expected of a candidate for the head of the Yotsuba Family, his strength is undeniable," Yunyi remarked.
Yunyi is currently unaware of Yuuka Tsukuba's other talents. However, with her mastery of Mental Interference Magic, she is indeed far superior to many others.
Hearing Yunyi's praise, Yuuka Tsukuba became even more nervous. To be honest, she would rather her skill level not meet his requirements. That way, at least he wouldn't focus his attention on her. But now, things seemed to have developed beyond expectations. Moreover, the way Yunyi looked at her gave Yuuka Tsukuba a creepy feeling.
"No way, we're really going to get involved with this person in some way." Just as Yuuka Tsukuba was thinking this, Yunyi said something that shocked everyone.
Have you ever thought about leaving Yotsuba Clan?
Upon hearing this, even Mayumi Saegusa couldn't sit still. Was this some kind of scheme, having already abducted the Saegusa Family, now planning to abduct the eldest daughter of the Yotsuba Family's branch family?
However, Miyuki Shiba reacted even faster than Mayumi Saegusa, hurriedly saying, " Yunyi, aren't you going a bit too far!"
" Fumiya is the eldest daughter of the Tsukuba Family, how could you..."
However, before Miyuki Shiba could finish speaking, Yunyi interrupted, "That's a branch family of the Yotsuba Clan. Without that status, she wouldn't be sitting here."
"I'm just giving her a proposal, a chance to break free from constraints. Of course, whether she accepts it or not is her own business," Yunyi said.
"This..." Yuuka Tsukuba was somewhat at a loss.
Leaving Yotsuba Clan? At first glance, she was indeed tempted by the suggestion. But as much as she was tempted, her ability to become a candidate for the head of the Yotsuba Family was naturally recognized. Given this premise, Yotsuba Clan would never allow her to actually leave.
"At most, I'll just be given back my status as a candidate for family head and some relative freedom," Yuuka Tsukuba thought to herself.
"Never mind, that's not important. Let's get back to the main topic. If you ever have such thoughts in the future, just have Tatsuya contact me. But by then, Miyuki might have already taken over. If that's the case, I won't need to get involved," Yunyi said.
