Thinking about it this way, the course of the war became much clearer. Therefore, what he needed to worry about was the consequences of the war between the two countries. A world magic war wouldn't have a significant impact on the alliance. Moreover, he might even be able to use this war to achieve his own goals.
Seeing Yunyi fall silent, Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but have some thoughts of her own. This impending war was between the America and Japan, and from Yunyi's perspective, he had no reason to get involved. Moreover, even she had no right to ask Yunyi to help in such a matter. However, faced with the fact that her homeland was about to be plunged into war, Mayumi Saegusa herself still had to make a choice.
"Should she join the war as Saegusa, or stay by Yunyi's side as Mayumi?" This is the choice Mayumi Saegusa must make. If she chooses the former, she may lose her lover. If she chooses the latter, she will lose her family.
Just as Mayumi Saegusa decision, Yunyi made a move. He took out his phone and called Tatsuya Shiba directly.
" Tatsuya, it's me. Have you arrived at school yet?" Yunyi asked immediately after Tatsuya Shiba answered the phone.
"Not yet, what happened?" Tatsuya Shiba asked in return.
"There is something important, and it's not easy to explain over the phone. Let's talk in person. The meeting place is the Public Morals Committee office. Just come and wait for me when you get to the school," Yunyi said.
On the other end of the phone, Tatsuya Shiba frowned. He was still wondering if there had been any new developments regarding the matter they discussed yesterday. However, Yunyi's request for a face-to-face meeting meant that he must have something he wanted to see. With that in mind, Tatsuya Shiba readily agreed. He hung up the phone after making the appointment with Yunyi.
"Elder brother?"
After Tatsuya Shiba hung up the phone, Miyuki Shiba asked in confusion, "What does Yunyi want with you this time?"
"It must be a follow-up to what I told you yesterday, right?" Tatsuya Shiba wasn't sure if his guess was true.
"Brother, is the military really preparing to wage war against the United States?" Miyuki Shiba asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good option. If war really breaks out, with that guy around, the Japan army will suffer a devastating blow," Tatsuya Shiba a deep voice.
The magic Yunyi used back in Ogasawara was still vivid in Tatsuya Shiba's memory, even after so much time. He still didn't know how to achieve such a massive Magic Sequence. As long as Yunyi possessed this magic, the war between Japan and the Great Asian Alliance was doomed to failure. Unless the military could find a way to kill Yunyi before the war even began, defeat was the only possibility.
He contacted Harunobu Kazama last night, but Harunobu Kazama's attitude towards the matter during their conversation made him feel uneasy. Moreover, it seemed that because he had refused to introduce Yunyi to 101 last time, Harunobu Kazama did not directly tell him the information this time. This made Tatsuya Shiba feel uneasy, but he did not have any clear evidence to prove it, so he was not sure what to do.
"Perhaps I should warn Kazama?" This thought popped into Tatsuya Shiba's mind.
On the other side, in the automatic car that Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa were riding in.
After hanging up the phone, Yunyi turned to look at Mayumi Saegusa beside him. Seeing the expression on her face, Yunyi reached out and ruffled her hair.
What are you thinking about?
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Mayumi Saegusa no Yunyi leaned on his shoulder. She didn't know how to express her thoughts, or rather, the choice she was facing.
"Are you thinking about your identity and stance? Or are you thinking about what's between us?" Yunyi continued to ask.
Mayumi Saegusa paused for a moment, then asked, "Why would you ask that?"
Yunyi chuckled softly, his hand landing on Mayumi Saegusa's shoulder as he pulled her into his arms.
"Your expression right now is the same as that night. I think you were thinking about these things back then, right?"
Yunyi's words instantly transported Mayumi Saegusa back to that night. Indeed, the choice she faced then was remarkably similar to the one she faced today. Only, back then she received a good answer. But perhaps she wouldn't be so lucky today?
" Mayumi, as your boyfriend, I support and understand whatever decision you make. But this time, I will not intervene. I have my own stance, which means I will not participate in the wars of other countries. So I'm sorry, I may not be able to stand by your side this time," Yunyi said solemnly.
Nestled in Yunyi's arms, Mayumi Saegusa nodded gently. She lowered her head slightly, letting her long hair cover her face, which showed a disappointed expression. But at the corners of her mouth was a relieved smile.
This path was her own choice. The choice she faced now was one she had to confront sooner or later. Mayumi Saegusa didn't become hysterical, nor did she plead in a low voice. She calmly faced Yunyi's decision, and at the same time, she made her own decision in her heart.
At the same time, the train slowly pulled into the station. After the two got off, the disappointed look on Mayumi Saegusa's face had disappeared. She chuckled and extended her hand to Yunyi: "Didn't we make plans with Tatsuya-kun? Let's hurry up and go."
Yunyi smiled and took Mayumi Saegusa's hand. He could feel that the girl's arm, or rather her body, was trembling slightly. This indicated that the girl in front of him was not at peace at this moment.
Yunyi didn't say much about this; it was a choice they would both have to face sooner or later. Mayumi Saegusa was free, and he wouldn't impose his own ideas on her. As for what choice she would make, Yunyi felt a mix of melancholy and anticipation.
Upon arriving at First High School, the two parted ways. Yunyi went straight to the Public Morals Committee office, while Mayumi Saegusa stood there, watching Yunyi's receding figure. Only after his figure disappeared around the corner did she turn and walk towards her classroom.
