" Kasumi, and Izumi, you two come here, I have something to ask you."
Mayumi Saegusa sat down on the edge of the bed and beckoned to the twins. Once the two little ones were seated beside her, she spoke, " Kasumi and Izumi, I have a very serious question to ask you. Don't hide anything; you must answer me truthfully, understand?"
"Uh, sister, what's wrong? Why are you so serious?" Kasumi Saegusa shrank back, sensing that the question she was about to ask might not be a good one.
Izumi Saegusa also a little nervous; her older sister's serious demeanor did indeed frighten her.
Mayumi Saegusa reached out and ruffled her two younger sisters' hair. She knew that the question she was about to ask might embarrass them, or it might cause even more problems. But right now, she needed a clear answer.
"Don't be too nervous, just answer me truthfully. Especially you, Kasumi, no hiding anything, understand?" Mayumi Saegusa emphasized to Kasumi Saegusa. She knew her younger sister very well. Izumi Saegusa might feel shy or have other emotions when she asked the question, but she would still give a clear answer. However, Kasumi Saegusa might give an answer that wasn't what she truly felt because of her emotions.
Kasumi Saegusa shrank back slightly, but still nodded in agreement with Mayumi Saegusa.
Seeing this, Mayumi Saegusa took a deep breath before asking the question she wanted to ask.
"Have you two started to like Yunyi-kun too?"
Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa initially waited very seriously for Mayumi Saegusa's question, but after hearing the question, the two little ones' eyes widened immediately.
"Eh!? W-how come..." Kasumi Saegusa's pretty face turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to give a negative answer.
" Kasumi! Tell the truth." However, before Kasumi Saegusa could finish speaking, Mayumi Saegusa interrupted her seriously.
"Ugh!" Kasumi Saegusa immediately shut her mouth, her face turning even redder. But how was she supposed to answer that question?
In fact, just by looking at Kasumi Saegusa 'Mayumi Saegusa had already basically determined her answer. However, she didn't make a final judgment based on her feelings and still hoped to hear Kasumi Saegusa's own answer. Of course, she knew Kasumi's personality and naturally wouldn't force her, but instead turned her gaze to Izumi Saegusa sitting on the other side.
" Izumi, what about you?"
At this moment, Izumi Saegusa was no different from Kasumi Saegusa; both of their similar faces were flushed. However, upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's question, Izumi Saegusa's body visibly trembled a few times. She remained silent for a moment, clenching her small hands tightly, before finally nodding gently and giving an answer.
" Izumi, you!" Kasumi Saegusa was shocked. She hadn't expected Izumi Saegusa to admit it so readily. What should she do? Should she tell the truth?
Mayumi Saegusa, put her arm around Izumi Saegusa's shoulder, and pulled her closer to her. Then she looked at Kasumi Saegusa and said, " Kasumi, you're one of them, aren't you?"
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's question, Kasumi Saegusa froze. After a moment, she seemed to deflate, her head and shoulders slumping down.
"I don't know why this is happening either," Kasumi Saegusa muttered softly, but Mayumi Saegusa, who was sitting next to her, still heard her words.
"This is really..." Mayumi Saegusa also somewhat helpless. Although she had already guessed it and had prepared herself mentally, her face gradually began to burn as she thought about the possible developments in the future.
"Sister, we won't compete with you for it." As if sensing Mayumi Saegusa's feelings, Izumi Saegusa spoke first to state her position.
"We're still young, and my brother is so outstanding, it's understandable that we're attracted to him. When we get to know more people and spend more time with them, maybe..." Izumi Saegusa said anxiously, but she couldn't finish her sentence.
Indeed, they are still young and will meet many more people in the future. But can any of those people be more outstanding than Yunyi? Inheriting the bloodline genes of Saegusa, their starting point is already far higher than that of ordinary magicians. And Yunyi is a special being who can completely crush everything they have inherited. Having this understanding first, will they still be attracted to others? That would only happen if they were brainwashed or had their intelligence lowered, right?
But what if they can't find such a person? Like many other magicians, if they can't find a suitable partner, will they find someone with the most compatible magical power and become a magician couple who are only together to procreate?
"In that case..." Izumi Saegusa pondered, finding it hard to accept such a future.
Mayumi Saegusa sighed again, hugged the two little ones, and slowly said, "The reason I came to ask you is because I learned something from Sister Yi, who is also Yunyi-kun's mother."
Mayumi Saegusa carefully recounted what she had learned from Shen Yi to the twins.
"This kind of unconscious Kotodama Interference will definitely have the biggest impact on those of us who have lived with Yunyi-kun all this time. Yunyi-kun and I have already come this far, and I don't think it's a bad thing, so I don't regret it. But you two are different. You are still young and have choices for the future. But if you continue to stay by Yunyi-kun's side, this kind of interference in your thinking may affect your judgment."
" Kasumi, and Izumi. I don't want to decide for you two how to choose. You need to think it over carefully before giving me an answer, understand?"
Mayumi Saegusa's words stunned both Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa. They clearly hadn't expected things to develop this way, but considering their current predicament, it seemed plausible. Yunyi was, after all, Mayumi Saegusa Nanakusa's boyfriend. Knowing this, why would they still have such feelings? If there was this Kotodama Interference...
What Shen Yi had initially revealed out of concern now seemed like an excellent excuse for Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa. If they stayed, they would obviously grow closer to Yunyi. Even if they subconsciously tried to avoid him, the feelings that had already taken root in their hearts couldn't be erased. But if things continued, would the three sisters be fighting over one man? Or would they all work together?
