Yunyi's tone was calm, but those who heard it felt a chill.
Fortunately, at that moment, Hayama walked over with a glass of fruit-flavored drink. His appearance eased the atmosphere in the living room somewhat.
Yunyi took the drink and took a sip. The sweetness spread in his mouth, calming the turmoil in his heart.
"Actually, I never thought the plan to win over Tatsuya would succeed. This is not only because of our positions, but mainly because of the shackles of the ' Pledge '."
"Although Tatsuya's mind has been modified and he's an extreme siscon, with my ' Kotodama Curse, given enough time, I can still help him regain some of his emotions. However, because of the ' Pledge,' his bond with Miyuki is already too deep. I don't think that restoring his emotions will allow him to break free from this shackle, which is why I gave up on trying to win him over." Yunyi shrugged, speaking with a regretful tone.
Upon hearing his words, Tatsuya Shiba himself did not react, but a glint of light flashed in the eyes of Miyuki Shiba, who was sitting next to him.
"Where did you find out all this?!" Just then, Maya Yotsuba's voice suddenly rang out. Her tone was very serious, as if she took this matter very seriously.
"No comment." Yunyi's response was equally straightforward.
"Alright, enough of the small talk. Yotsuba Family, what exactly is your purpose in inviting me here? I don't believe someone like you would come to meet me just to make an acquaintance. So, is your purpose to declare war? Or to make friends?"
Yunyi's question silenced Maya Yotsuba. Her initial intention was indeed to befriend him, but after meeting him, her opinion of Yunyi underwent a complete transformation. Yunyi's existence was far too dangerous for her, for the Yotsuba Clan, for the Ten Master Clans, and for the entire Japan. Such a being should be completely eliminated.
But when the thought crossed her mind, Maya Yotsuba's body trembled slightly. Cold sweat broke out on her back, and even her scalp felt tingly and itchy.
"You want to disrupt, or rather, change the status of magicians?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
Although she raised the question, she didn't wait for Yunyi's reply before continuing, "While there is an organization called the Magic Association in the magical world, its branches in various countries are basically controlled by the mages of those countries. Furthermore, the militarization of mages is a concept instilled in mages from birth. Therefore, the branches of the association in each country have close cooperation and connections with the governments and militaries of those countries. Do you want to break this situation, or create a new organization to check and balance the association and the governments of various countries?"
Everyone except Yunyi was taken aback by Maya Yotsuba's words. The idea itself seemed unbelievable to them.
"Oh? I must say, as expected of the ' Queen of the Night ' who wants to destroy the world? You're quite perceptive in this kind of matter," Yunyi said calmly.
"If you hadn't mentioned wanting to win over Tatsuya, I might not have guessed any of this." A strange light flashed in Maya Yotsuba's eyes.
" Tatsuya is indeed a dangerous presence for the Yotsuba Clan. But he is, after all, a child born under my 'expectations,' and I know his power better than anyone else, and I look forward to his growth more than anyone else. That's why you want to win him over, isn't it?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
Yunyi nodded. These factors were indeed among his reasons for trying to win over Tatsuya Shiba. As for the other reason, it was the guy's development capabilities. With his involvement, many of his mother's research projects should be much easier.
"But didn't you give up on winning over Tatsuya?" Suddenly, Yuuka Tsukuba, who hadn't spoken until now, asked a question.
The moment she opened her mouth, she attracted everyone's attention. The gazes that turned to her made Yuuka Tsukuba tremble involuntarily.
"I've given up on trying to win him over, but there are other ways to deal with this guy," Yunyi chuckled.
As soon as he finished Kanon, a spell materialized in his palm. He raised his hand and displayed the spell to everyone. "This is an application of the Spatial Magic I possess. It can open Gate of Space and Banishment any person or object to Imaginary Number Space. Do you think if I imprison Miyuki inside and use that to coerce Tatsuya, will he obediently comply?"
"Varied...!"
"You...!"
"Hey! Yunyi! This joke isn't funny at all!"
Yunyi's idea startled Tatsuya Shiba and the others! Tatsuya Shiba, in particular, stood up excitedly and stood between his sister and Yunyi with a solemn expression.
"Don't be so nervous. If I really wanted to do this, I would have done it already." Yunyi casually dispelled the " Imaginary Number Gate " that had gathered in his palm Tatsuya Shiba to signal him not to get too excited.
" Yunyi, really, you know that saying this will upset your brother." Miyuki Shiba herself wasn't very surprised; she scolded Yunyi in a very helpless tone.
"Haha~" Yunyi chuckled, "If I hadn't gone to the America first, but had come directly to Japan, I might have carried out this plan without hesitation. Back then, I was very disappointed with my environment, or rather, the world. Back then, I felt that if I couldn't change it, then I might as well destroy it."
"However, after spending a few years in the America, coupled with some external impressions, my extreme emotions have subsided considerably. Now, I am not acting with the intention of destroying the world. Although losing Tatsuya a great loss, it is not without ways to make up for it."
"So, Yotsuba Family, what is your answer? Declare war, or make friends?" Yunyi brought the topic back to the original question.
Maya Yotsuba fell silent again, pondering whether Yunyi's words were true or false, how likely they were if true, and what his purpose was if they were false.
After a long pause, Maya Yotsuba looked at Yunyi and gave her answer.
I will not comment on this matter.
Her words stunned everyone present, including Yunyi.
"Your existence is a huge variable for the Yotsuba Clan, Japan, and even the entire world. Regardless of whether what you say can actually come true, it will inevitably bring about a change in the world order. The world order may be completely changed in the future, and at this juncture of change, it should not be up to me, the ruler of the old era, to make the decision."
