One Chapter Short, I'll Make It Up This Afternoon. I'm on the High-Speed Train Back to the Capital, and I Can't Type Fast on My Phone!

After resolving Sun Meiling's matter, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa took their leave and departed from the Shiba residence. Only after the two of them left did Yuuka Tsukuba finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This meeting had truly shocked her. Especially Yunyi's proposal to leave Yotsuba Clan —it still seemed unbelievable to her. What reassured her most, however, was that Yunyi didn't intend to have any further contact with her. His only words before leaving were, "Thank you for your help this time. If you need anything in the future, I'll have Tatsuya help me contact you."

Seeing her like this, Miyuki Shiba chuckled and said, " Fumiya, you don't need to be so nervous."

"Seriously, how did you siblings get involved with such a guy?" Yuuka Tsukuba sighed.

Neither the brother nor sister could give an answer to this question. In fact, during this time, Tatsuya Shiba had also reflected on how they met Yunyi.

It's highly likely that Yunyi's decision to enroll him in the First High School was intentional, and Tatsuya Shiba clearly remembers that Yunyi called him by name the first time they met, which also proves that Yunyi's approach to the siblings was indeed purposeful.

However, their first meeting at the entrance ceremony was interrupted by the Mayumi Saegusa, and then it became natural because they were in the same class. If it weren't for the subsequent changes, Tatsuya Shiba might have really overlooked those things.

"Regardless, Yunyi is a member of the Great Asian Alliance. Although the patriarch instructed us to maintain contact with him and try to keep things amicable, Tatsuya and Miyuki, you two need to be extra careful."

After calming herself down, Yuuka Tsukuba still spoke up to remind Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba.

"Yes, we know," Tatsuya Shiba replied.

Meanwhile, Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa, having left the Shiba mansion, went straight back to their own home.

However, as soon as Yunyi entered the house, his ear was grabbed by Mayumi Saegusa.

"Hey, Mayumi, what are you doing?!" Yunyi cried out in pain, quickly leaning to the side to avoid hurting his ear too much.

" Yunyi-kun, aren't you going to explain why you're trying to win over Senpai Fumiya? Do you really have a crush on her?"

Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa's words startled Yunyi. He hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. I just think that a mage skilled in mental interference magic is rare, and I wanted to give it a try. As for having any particular interest..."

At this point, Yunyi realized that the expression on Mayumi Saegusa's face didn't look like she was jealous or angry at all. Instead, the upward curve of her lips made it look like she was smiling.

"Oh, you're just messing with me, aren't you!" Yunyi rolled her eyes and immediately understood why Mayumi Saegusa was doing this.

Reaching out, Yunyi put his arm around Mayumi Saegusa's waist and, with a little effort, Mayumi Saegusa petite body into his arms.

"Hey, Yunyi-kun, put me down right now!" Mayumi Saegusa struggled; she didn't want to be caught like this, she hadn't had enough fun yet!

However, just as the two were playfully bickering, Mayumi Saegusa's phone rang.

The two stopped moving, Yunyi's face showed a hint of regret, which made Mayumi Saegusa angrily raise her little fist.

However, she was slightly surprised when she saw the caller ID on the screen.

" Jumonji-kun? What does he want to contact me at this time?" Mayumi Saegusa muttered, then answered the phone.

"Hey, Jumonji-kun?"

"It's me, Saegusa. I received news that Yunyi is back, right? If it's convenient, could we meet?" Katsuto Jumonji cut to the chase, stating his purpose directly.

"Meet up, is that right?" Mayumi Saegusa repeated, then turned her gaze to Yunyi. After Yunyi nodded, she replied, "Sure, when do Jumonji-kun?"

"If it's alright, how about now? The location is a coffee shop near the school. Let's head out now and meet there in a bit," said Katsuto Jumonji.

"So urgent? Jumonji-kun, what happened?" Mayumi Saegusa asked worriedly.

"Indeed, some things are related to the military. The Ogasawara incident has had a huge impact," Katsuto Jumonji replied.

Hearing him say that, Mayumi Saegusa understood the purpose of his call.

"Alright then, let's head over to the coffee shop near the school now. We can talk more when we meet later," Mayumi Saegusa agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she sighed softly, "I should have known better than to go on vacation to Ogasawara, otherwise this whole mess wouldn't have happened."

"What's done is done, there's no point in thinking about it too much. Besides, this matter has blown up so much, unless the Japan military has collectively lost their minds, they won't do anything too outrageous. Of course, if they don't know what's good for them, then we'll have to resort to some unconventional methods." Yunyi chuckled.

" Yunyi-kun, your thinking is very dangerous." Mayumi Saegusa gave Yunyi a reproachful look.

After exchanging a few more casual words, the two turned and left again. This trip, without even a chance to sit down, left them somewhat exasperated.

The military personnel who were originally monitoring Yunyi's home immediately reported the news after seeing Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa return. However, before the liaison officers sent by the military could arrive, the two left again by car, which drove those responsible for monitoring them crazy.

A coffee shop near the First High School.

As soon as Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa entered, they saw Katsuto Jumonji already waiting for them in the store.

The guy's size and the aura he exuded made the staff behind the bar a little intimidated. When they saw Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa walk in, the girls seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to ask the two what they wanted to drink before retreating back behind the bar to continue their work.

After they were seated, Yunyi immediately asked, "Did you book the whole place?"

"Well, it's best if as few people as possible know about the rest of our conversation," Katsuto Jumonji.

"In that case, how about we go to the school's conference room?" Mayumi Saegusa suggested. As the Student Council, even though she had stepped down, she still enjoyed some privileges at First High School.

"It hasn't come to that point yet; this is fine," said Katsuto Jumonji.

Hearing him say that, Mayumi Saegusa didn't try to persuade him any further. Yunyi didn't say anything either, and the three of them sat there quietly.

A moment later, the drinks were served. The waiter, having done all that, immediately left the lobby, giving the three of them some space.
