"Go back? Izumi, do you want to go back?"
Before Kasumi Saegusa Mayumi Saegusa could respond, Nanagus Kasumi exclaimed in surprise. She looked at Izumi Saegusa in astonishment, thinking, "That's not what you said when we were discussing this earlier!"
Seeing the change in Kasumi Saegusa's expression, Izumi Saegusa inwardly cried out, "Oh no!" But before she could speak, Mayumi Saegusa interrupted, " Kasumi, don't interrupt. Izumi, do you really want to go back?"
Izumi Saegusa's expression was somewhat stiff, but she still nodded slightly.
"Sister, Kasumi and I are still young. We don't really understand matters of the heart. But liking my brother isn't allowed, is it? So, going back is the best choice. Going back to Japan, going back to the Saegusa Family." Izumi Saegusa's voice was soft, but Mayumi Saegusa could hear a sense of grievance in her tone.
Hearing Izumi Saegusa's words, Kasumi Saegusa also lowered her head. Although the two of them had indeed discussed this matter thoroughly before, after hearing Izumi Saegusa's words, she immediately overturned the decision they had made privately.
Looking at the two little ones with their Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Although their contact with Yunyi was due to Koichi Saegusa's orders, ultimately, it was because she and Yunyi got together that things developed this way. Now that they are also attracted to Yunyi, it seems that the only one to blame is their older sister.
Thinking of this, Mayumi Saegusa pouted in dissatisfaction. She didn't know how to stop the two little ones, nor did she know if she should really send them back. But for some reason, she had a feeling that if she just sent Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa back to the Saegusa Family, she would regret it someday.
" Kasumi, and Izumi," Mayumi Saegusa said softly, holding her two younger sisters' hands. "It's true that it's not allowed for the three of us to like Yunyi-kun together, but there's no right or wrong when it comes to feelings. I don't know how to handle this either, but I have no intention of sending you back to the Saegusa Family."
"I haven't told Yunyi-kun about your situation. Besides, he himself doesn't know that his Kotodama Magic can spill over and interfere with the minds of those around him. He probably only cares for you as a younger sister. You might still be willing to stay by his side now, but in the future, you'll likely only experience more sadness."
"So, whether you stay or not is not a decision for you. Similarly, if you want to continue liking it, I won't stop you."
At this point, a bitter feeling welled up in Mayumi Saegusa's heart. She had already prepared herself for this when Mrs. Saegusa mentioned that Yunyi might have other women in the future. Just like with Shizuku Kitayama and Lina, although Mayumi Saegusa felt somewhat uncomfortable, she didn't hold a grudge against Yunyi because of it. She even considered secretly trying to bring them together.
But when that person changed from an outsider like Shizuku Kitayama or Lina to her own sister, she experienced a bitter taste. However, at this moment, Mayumi Saegusa couldn't explain why she felt this way.
When Mayumi Saegusa said she wouldn't stop it, Kasumi Saegusa's big eyes were filled with surprise, while Izumi Saegusa, on the other hand, had a smile on her face. However, at this moment, she was still hanging her head, and the other two did not see her expression.
Regarding matters of the heart, she stopped there with Mayumi Saegusa's statement. She chatted with the two children for a while, inquired about some other trivial matters, and then left.
Once the cabin door was closed, Izumi Saegusa immediately relaxed.
Seeing Izumi Saegusa suddenly collapse onto the bed, Kasumi Saegusa blinked blankly. " Izumi, you wouldn't...?"
Izumi Saegusa smiled; she had indeed played a little trick on Mayumi Saegusa. Ever since realizing her own feelings, she had already made her plans. So what if it's worldly opinion? There have been instances of siblings marrying within the magic community. They were simply falling for the same person as their sister; why couldn't it be allowed?
Will Yunyi-kun accept them?
After returning to her cabin, Mayumi Saegusa sat on the edge of the bed, pondering how to tell Yunyi about this.
Knowing Yunyi as she did, if he didn't speak up, Yunyi might not realize the two little ones' feelings for him. But if that were the case, it would be somewhat cruel to the two little ones.
"I really didn't expect Izumi to resort to such tricks," Izumi grumbled in Mayumi Saegusa.
Actually, she had been deliberately observing the two little ones, which allowed her to notice the subtle changes in Izumi Saegusa's expression and the emotional shifts that flashed in her eyes. This included Kasumi Saegusa's panic when she was about to speak, and the suppressed excitement she felt when she left.
After returning and carefully reviewing the situation, she naturally concluded that Izumi Saegusa was using underhanded tactics and scheming. This genuinely angered Mayumi Saegusa, to the point that she almost burst out laughing.
Just as she was struggling with her dilemma, Yunyi, having finished his work, returned to the cabin. Seeing the strange expression on Mayumi Saegusa's face, Yunyi frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mayumi Saegusa rolled her eyes at him. "I'm angry!"
Hearing this, Yunyi was even more confused. What happened? Everything was fine before, so why did she suddenly get angry?
Taking off his coat, Yunyi sat down next to Mayumi Saegusa, put his arm around her waist and gently pulled her into his embrace before asking, "Tell me, who made you angry? I'll go and get revenge for you."
Seeing the worry on Yunyi's face, Mayumi Saegusa's lips curled into a strange smile. She snorted, "It was Kasumi and Izumi who offended me. Go and get revenge for me."
"It's those two? Okay, I'll go check on them in a bit and teach them a lesson for you while I'm at it," Yunyi replied with a light laugh.
Hearing Yunyi say that, Mayumi Saegusa's smile became even brighter.
"Aren't you going to ask me how they offended me?" But after laughing, she decided to bring it up. Otherwise, would she really let Yunyi go over and scold them?
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa laughing so happily, Yunyi felt that something was amiss. So he followed up on Mayumi Saegusa's words and asked, "Then tell me, how did those two offend you?"
