"Hey, Tatsuya?" Yunyi greeted him as soon as the call connected.
However, the voice coming through the receiver was not Tatsuya Shiba, but Miyuki Shiba.
" Yunyi, it's me, Miyuki. The elders in my family want to meet you. Do you have time now?"
Upon hearing Miyuki Shiba's voice, Yunyi was slightly taken aback. But after listening to what Miyuki Shiba said, his thoughts immediately became active.
He knew the Shiba siblings' situation very well. The only people who could be considered their elders, besides their nominal father Tatsurou Shiba, were the people from the Yotsuba Clan family. And the only person Miyuki Shiba would call so late to invite was Maya Yotsuba, the head of the Yotsuba Family. Yunyi couldn't think of any other answer.
"With all that happening today, Maya Yotsuba suddenly arriving in Tokyo, what is this vixen planning to do? This is really interesting," Yunyi thought to himself.
"Meeting her now? It seems you're in a hurry, elder?" After guessing that the person behind it might be Maya Yotsuba, Yunyi had already decided to meet her. However, before that, he still wanted to get more information from Miyuki Shiba.
"Uh..." Miyuki Shiba was somewhat speechless. She said Maya Yotsuba was anxious, but the noblewoman's calm and composed demeanor made it hard to believe it. But if she wasn't anxious, then asking her to contact Yunyi so late at night clearly showed that she was quite worried.
"So she's with you right now? Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and be right there."
After saying that, Yunyi hung up the phone without waiting for Miyuki Shiba's reply. He got up and went downstairs, and saw the three sisters sitting in the living room with serious expressions, which puzzled him.
"What's wrong with you? Did you receive some bad news?"
Hearing his voice, the three sisters were startled. Their attention was focused on the terminal in front of them, and they did not notice Yunyi's appearance.
Seeing their expressions, Yunyi clearly sensed something was wrong. The reason, of course, lay in the terminal that Mayumi Saegusa was still holding.
Under the watchful eyes of the three sisters, Yunyi walked up to them and took the terminal from Mayumi Saegusa's hand. During this process, the twins sitting next to Mayumi Saegusa tried to stop her, but Mayumi Saegusa herself did not resist at all, so the two of them did not grab anything with their raised hands.
Yunyi picked up the terminal and glanced at its contents. When he saw the message from Koichi Saegusa, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
A moment later, Yunyi handed the terminal to Kasumi Saegusa.
" Mayumi, go upstairs and pack your things. Since the Ten Master Clans intends to make a move, we can't let our guard down. I have to go out for a bit; Tatsuya and Miyuki have some things to take care of. I'll take you away as soon as I get back; it's no longer suitable for us to stay here."
At this point, Yunyi's gaze shifted to the twins. After a moment's thought, he said, "As for you two little ones, contact Lord Saegusa and have him send someone to pick you up. I think this area should already be under surveillance. Having the Saegusa Family keep an eye on you at this critical juncture is also a way for the Saegusa Family to give an explanation to the Ten Master Clans."
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, the expressions on the three sisters' faces immediately changed.
Mayumi Saegusa's face looked somewhat forlorn, clearly disappointed by how things had turned out. She had also fantasized about a better ending, but obviously, things had taken a different turn. After a moment, Mayumi Saegusa raised her head. She had already made her choice, so her disappointment was only temporary and wouldn't affect her judgment.
"What do Miyuki and Tatsuya want with you? Are they in a hurry?" Mayumi Saegusa asked.
Yunyi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. They just said someone wants me to meet them. I'm guessing it might be Maya Yotsuba, but I can't say for sure what her purpose is."
" Yotsuba Clan... Maya!?" Mayumi Saegusa. If it really was this "Queen of Darkness," then her purpose was truly hard to guess.
"Could she be trying to lure you over there and then ambush you?" Mayumi Saegusa wondered.
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's guess, Yunyi burst out laughing.
After ruffling the other person's hair, Yunyi said, "Don't overthink it. She probably has something else to discuss with me. As for trying to ambush me, that's even more impossible. Have you forgotten my domain's unique properties?"
"Ugh, I was just worried about you..." Mayumi Saegusa her concern and completely forgot that Yunyi's Domain Magic could sever the connection between Psions and the magician. Even the world-renowned "Queen of Darkness" was just an ordinary person if she couldn't control Psions.
"Alright, you go and get ready, I'm coming too."
After saying that, Yunyi wrote the incantation for the Gate of Transfer under the watchful eyes of the three sisters.
After he disappeared from sight, Mayumi Saegusa sat back down on the sofa. She looked at her two younger sisters beside her, and seeing the panicked and bewildered expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Sister, we..."
"We don't want to go home..."
The Shiba Residence.
After hanging up the call, Miyuki Shiba placed the terminal back on the low table in front of her. Just then, Maya Yotsuba's voice rang out.
"He agreed?"
Miyuki Shiba looked at Maya Yotsuba and nodded gently, giving a confirmation.
"Since he's agreed, let's wait for him. But Hayama, you should still warn the people around us not to bump into him rashly," Maya Yotsuba ordered.
Hayama nodded, took out his terminal from his pocket, and began issuing commands.
"But based on my deduction, his house should be under surveillance now. I wonder if he can avoid their sight?" Maya Yotsuba muttered to herself in confusion.
Just then, a voice that was completely unfamiliar to her suddenly rang out in the living room of the Shiba mansion.
"There's no need for Patriarch Yotsuba Family to worry about these things. If we couldn't even avoid those spies, I would have done it countless times already."
Yunyi's voice startled everyone in the living room. When they turned their gaze towards the direction from which the sound came, they saw Yunyi slowly walking down from the second floor.
"Sorry, there was a problem with the Gate of Transfer's settings; it went upstairs." Yunyi shrugged at Tatsuya Shiba.
He said there had been some mistakes, but that wasn't actually the case. Before meeting the head of the Yotsuba Family Ten Master Clans, he would definitely need to understand the situation here. Therefore, his destination was set as Tatsuya Shiba's room on the second floor, rather than appearing directly in the living room, in everyone's sight.
