"Oh well."
"Coming right now, sister."
The twins hurriedly got up to help serve breakfast, while Yunyi, seeing Lina's angry expression, said helplessly, "Alright, that's enough pretending for a while, don't make it go on. Come and eat, and get out of here as soon as you're done. Your deputy is waiting for you to contact him."
"Snort!"
╭(╯^╰)╮
Lina responded to Yunyi with another cold snort, but before her voice faded, her stomach rumbled softly.
This immediately made her blush with embarrassment. She glared fiercely at Yunyi before hurriedly getting up and walking to the dining table.
After breakfast, the five of them left home together. However, looking at the traces left by last night's battle in the courtyard, Yunyi couldn't help but purse his lips. He took out his terminal, sent a message to his subordinates, and then followed Mayumi Saegusa to the train station.
Lina was originally supposed to be with the two of them, but when she contacted Ban earlier, he wanted to meet up as soon as possible, so Lina had to meet him first. As for the two little ones, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa, Nagura has always been responsible for picking them up and dropping them off at school. However, once the two of them move on to the next grade, Nagura's job will be over.
After getting off at the First High School's automatic station, Yunyi immediately saw Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba. However, today, only the two of them were standing at the station; none of the other "gangs" that often hung out together were there.
Seeing the expression on Miyuki Shiba's face, Yunyi immediately guessed that the two of them appearing here was not accidental, but rather they were deliberately waiting for them. Releasing Mayumi Saegusa's hand, Yunyi stepped forward, put his arm around Tatsuya Shiba's shoulder, and walked away, interrupting Tatsuya Shiba's spellcasting just as he was about to say something.
Mayumi Saegusa and Miyuki Shiba watched the two figures walk further and further away, exchanged a glance, gave each other a wry smile, and hurriedly followed after them.
After putting some distance between himself and Mayumi Saegusa and Miyuki Shiba, Yunyi finally spoke, asking, "Did you reprimand Miyuki?"
"No," Tatsuya Shiba replied calmly.
"However Yunyi, please don't do this again next time. Miyuki, she..."
At this point, Tatsuya Shiba paused. He was unsure how to proceed.
Last night, Miyuki Shiba told the whole story. So Tatsuya Shiba knew very well that it wasn't his idea for Yunyi to take Miyuki Shiba out alone. Besides, Yuuka Tsukuba was also there last night, so it couldn't be considered a "lonely man and woman" situation.
"I know you're worried, but Miyuki is only doing this for your own good. She's so insistent, I really have no reason to refuse. But don't worry, come with me, I'll guarantee her safety. At least until we become enemies, I won't do anything to harm her," Yunyi reassured Tatsuya Shiba.
"Enemies? Will we end up like that?" Tatsuya Shiba asked uncertainly.
He wouldn't have such thoughts about anyone else. But with Yunyi, he always had a different feeling. He didn't know why he felt this way; perhaps it was because of Yunyi's "uniqueness"?
Others might not understand the reason for this change in Tatsuya Shiba, but Yunyi knew very well. The reason was naturally his " Kotodama Curse ".
Frequent use of this kind of magic can have a certain impact on daily life. Those magicians who are proficient in " Kotodama Curse " even have to use substitute words as a means of communication in their daily lives in order to avoid the influence of this magic.
As a magician who uses " Kotodama Curse," Yunyi's words inevitably have some influence. Although his absolute control over Psions through his own magical domain makes this influence extremely subtle, over time, it can still subtly change a person without them realizing it.
Tatsuya Shiba, who spent a semester in the same class as Yunyi, was naturally one of those affected. However, due to the surgery performed on his brain by an artificial magician, he lacked emotional intelligence, so the effect was not severe for him. Nevertheless, over such a long period of time, Tatsuya Shiba was still able to clearly perceive the difference.
As for Tatsuya Shiba's question, Yunyi simply chuckled and said, "I don't know either. Although I don't want it to turn out that way, I think this wish might not come true. After all, we are from an enemy country. Perhaps one day, we really will meet on the battlefield."
"I understand, but I don't look forward to that day," Tatsuya Shiba said.
Yunyi did not respond to Tatsuya Shiba's question. Whether he expected it or not was unimportant. Besides, his plan had already begun to be implemented, and one day in the future, when the plan's influence became apparent, the Japanese government and military would not be able to remain silent. At that time, if Tatsuya Shiba still retained his rank of special lieutenant in the military, their hostile relationship would be unavoidable.
Behind them, Mayumi Saegusa and Miyuki Shiba walked side by side. Looking at the two ahead, Mayumi Saegusa spoke first, asking, "Did something happen last night? Tatsuya-kun seems really serious today."
Miyuki Shiba pursed her lips and briefly recounted what had happened last night.
Upon hearing her account, Mayumi Saegusa's eyes widened in surprise. She turned to look at Miyuki Shiba and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ugh, President, please don't make fun of me," Miyuki Shiba complained softly.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Mayumi Saegusa hurriedly waved her hands. "I didn't mean to, but Miyuki, I didn't expect you to do something like that. Tatsuya-kun was very angry yesterday, wasn't he?"
"Yes." Miyuki Shiba nodded. "This is the first time I've seen my brother so serious."
"Well, I think Yunyi-kun will help you comfort Tatsuya-kun. But Miyuki, if something like this happens again, you should tell Tatsuya-kun. Otherwise, he'll definitely be very worried," Mayumi Saegusa advised.
She put herself in Shiba Miyuki's shoes for a moment. If she were Miyuki Shiba and Yunyi were in Tatsuya Shiba's shoes, and she did the same thing as Miyuki Shiba, then Yunyi's reaction might be even stronger than Tatsuya Shiba's.
The four of them arrived at First High School and parted ways in front of the teaching building. Yunyi and Miyuki Shiba went to Class 1-A together, but as soon as they entered the classroom, they sensed that the atmosphere inside seemed a little strange.
