" Kasumi and Izumi have also fallen for you."
Mayumi Saegusa put away her smile and calmly gave her answer. Yunyi, however, was stunned upon hearing it.
After a moment, Yunyi finally spoke, " Mayumi, this joke isn't funny at all."
"Hmph~" Mayumi Saegusa scoffed, "I wasn't joking with you."
" Yunyi-kun, you really know how to attract girls." Saying this, Mayumi Saegusa raised her hand and gently tugged at Yunyi's ear.
She didn't use any force in this movement. Because she knew very well that this matter couldn't be blamed on Yunyi no matter what. The blame could only be placed on her, the "culprit" older sister. If she hadn't stepped into this "pit" first, her two younger sisters wouldn't have fallen in with her.
"No, this...? Mayumi, are you really not joking with me?" Yunyi seemed flustered at this moment, even feeling a bit bewildered.
Seeing his expression, Mayumi Saegusa said irritably, " Yunyi-kun, you're so oblivious when it comes to relationships! Kitayama was like that back then, Lina was like that too, and now Kasumi and Izumi are the same. And yet, you're the kind of person who loves to flirt with girls. Tell me, what am I supposed to do with you?"
Yunyi fell silent. Although he found the matter somewhat unbelievable, he knew very well that Mayumi Saegusa would not joke about something like this with him.
Shizuku Kitayama was showing signs of developing feelings for him, and although he didn't know where those feelings came from, they were still within an acceptable range. As for Lina, given her personality, even if she really had feelings for him, she wouldn't say it. But these two little ones were really something he couldn't accept.
Yunyi opened his mouth, about to say something, when Mayumi Saegusa's hand covered his mouth.
"Don't say things like 'they're still young,' they'll grow up someday."
Yun Yi blinked, he pulled away Mayumi Nanakusa's hand and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, do you want me to accept the two of them? Mayumi, you are..."
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Before Yunyi could finish speaking, a rapid alarm sounded throughout the cabin. Mayumi Saegusa immediately took out her communication terminal and checked the contents listed on it.
At the same time, Yunyi's terminal also beeped. He took it out and glanced at it, and when he saw the caller ID, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, Old Liu? What's up?"
"Send me a few of those Strategic-Class Magic you've been hiding! The Japan navy is already assembling in Tsushima, and I have confirmed that Mio Itsuwa of the Itsuwa Family has arrived in Tsushima. Her Strategic-Class Magic ' Abyss ' is a huge threat to the fleet, and I'm afraid my ' Thunderclap Tower ' alone won't be enough to stop her."
Liu Yunde's voice came through, his tone urgent, clearly indicating that the situation on the other side was becoming increasingly critical.
Moreover, the Mio Itsuwa that Liu Yunde mentioned is indeed very troublesome to fight at sea. And Liu Yunde's " Thunderclap Tower " is more like a Strategic-Class Magic that leans towards control or support, and he would probably suffer a real loss if he confronted " Abyss ".
After pondering for a moment, Yunyi selected a mage skilled in wide-area slowing magic from among the few hidden individuals on his side who possessed Strategic-Class Magic, intending to send him to Liu Yunde's side. Her Mio Itsuwa's " Abyss " is essentially about manipulating water; well, let's freeze all the seawater for you, and see how you play then.
Just as he was about to speak, Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa handed Yunyi the intelligence terminal she was holding. Upon seeing the latest news displayed on it, Yunyi's face immediately darkened.
" Yunyi-kun..." Mayumi Saegusa wanted to say something, but the content displayed on the terminal made her really not know how to start the conversation.
" Old Liu, things have changed. I've received definite news that the Japan government has ordered a direct crackdown on the Jinhae Naval Port, with Mio Itsuwa as the strategic core. Even if I send people over now, it's too late. I'll go myself. You give the order now: once I've dealt with the attacking fleet, the garrison at Jinhae Naval Port will move forward and take down Japan's Japan Tsushima Fortress!"
"Troops forward? Then I'll go to the executive government right now to apply for permission to launch an attack."
"No! Don't you know how inefficient those officials are? By the time their permission comes through, the fighter jets will have already taken off! Just give the order!" Yunyi hurriedly stopped Liu Yunde. He hadn't yet purged the government personnel, and there were quite a few spies among them who had been bribed by other countries. What if there were Japan among them? Submitting the strike permission application would be no different from directly telling Japan that we were going to retaliate.
"I understand." Liu Yunde remained silent for a moment before giving his answer.
"Kid, taking military action without permission is a problem. The mess you'll make will be yours to clean up."
After leaving that message, Liu Yunde hung up the communication. Since he was going to mobilize the garrison, he needed to prepare in advance.
Over here, Yunyi put away his terminal. He looked at Mayumi Saegusa: " Mayumi, what do you want to say?"
Mayumi Saegusa shook her head. What did she want to say? What could she say? The actions of the Japan military from beginning to end were all aimed at Yunyi.
Initially, the radical faction within the military wanted to use war to force Yunyi to join them. However, after Yunyi's identity was exposed, they left Japan. This thwarted the military's plans and left them in a difficult position.
If that were all, as long as troops were stationed at Tsushima Fortress, a standoff was established with the Great Asian Alliance's Jinhae Naval Port, and no further conflict was provoked, the matter would naturally be over. However, the Ten Master Clans provided some assistance to the military at this time, even sending the Strategic-Class Magic, Mio Itsuwa, to the front lines. This move led the government to misunderstand, thinking that the Ten Master Clans was supporting the military's actions. Seeing the situation was favorable, those politicians acted rashly and directly issued the order to go to war.
The two countries are already at war; if one side takes any action, the other will certainly not sit idly by. Even if Mayumi Saegusa wanted to stop it, she simply didn't have the ability right now. Besides, this war was started by Japan; were they really going to let the Allied fleet of the Great Asian Alliance just sit Japan by and wait to be destroyed?
"It's nothing, I just feel that things have developed a bit unexpectedly. Yunyi-kun, the battlefield is different from those small skirmishes. You, be careful." Mayumi Saegusa nestled into Yunyi 'Yunyi arms, whispering her advice to him.
