After realizing the gap between Yunyi and her daughter, Mrs. Saegusa couldn't help but feel worried about the future. Although she and Koichi Saegusa had discussed having Mayumi Saegusa return to take over the Saegusa Family after the storm had passed, using the Saegusa family's influence as a foil for their daughter, so that their daughter's future life wouldn't be too restricted, Mrs. Saegusa was now wavering.
However, as Mrs. Saegusa listened to her two younger daughters recount the events of the past few days, she sensed something amiss. In particular, the attitudes her two daughters occasionally displayed reminded her of Tomokazu Saegusa remark from years ago.
Just then, Tomokazu Saegusa entered the living room. Looking at Mayumi Saegusa and the twins, he remained silent for a moment before sighing softly, "It was far too risky for you to come back now."
As the next head of the Saegusa Family, although Tomokazu Saegusa wasn't outstanding in some aspects, he still cared deeply for his three younger sisters. While the Saegusa Family wasn't facing sanctions or closure, countless spies were watching Saegusa Family. If news of their return leaked out, it would likely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Moreover, it wouldn't benefit the three of them in any way.
"Brother, please don't worry. With Yunyi-kun here, no one will dare to cause trouble at this time." Mayumi Saegusa chuckled. She knew very well why Tomokazu Saegusa said that. In fact, when they had just returned, Mrs. Saegusa had said something similar.
Tomokazu Saegusa's gaze shifted to Yunyi. Looking at the boy calmly sipping his tea and examining the living room furnishings, he found it hard to believe that the other person was the one who had caused such Japan uproar in Japan.
Noticing Tomokazu Saegusa's gaze, Yunyi turned and met his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, " Lord Saegusa still in the study?"
Tomokazu Saegusa nodded. Based on his understanding of Koichi Saegusa, he knew that Hiroichi was probably waiting for him in the study since he hadn't come downstairs.
" Mrs. Saegusa, I'll go upstairs and have a chat with Your Excellency." Yunyi stood up, greeted Mrs. Saegusa, and then went upstairs.
Only after watching his figure disappear around the corner of the stairs did Mrs. Saegusa's attention return to Mayumi Saegusa.
" Mayumi, tell me the truth. What's going on between Kasumi and Izumi?"
Upon hearing Mrs. Saegusa's question, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa immediately tensed up. Tomokazu Saegusa, who was standing nearby, was also clearly drawn to the question. He sat down on the sofa, but his gaze was fixed on Mayumi Saegusa.
The study on the second floor of the Saegusa residence.
When Yunyi pushed open the door to the study, Koichi Saegusa was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside.
" Yunyi-kun, what is the purpose of your return this time?" Through the reflection in the window, Koichi Saegusa saw Yunyi. He asked the question on his mind without hesitation.
" Lord Saegusa question is quite straightforward," Yunyi replied with a light laugh.
"I think this question shouldn't be difficult to answer," said Koichi Saegusa. He didn't want evasive answers; he wanted a clear answer.
"It's not hard to answer. We've come back to receive Mayumi Saegusa's dowry." Seeing that Koichi Saegusa wasn't going to engage in meaningless small talk, Yunyi gave the answer directly.
"Oh?" Koichi Saegusa narrowed his eyes slightly, which were hidden behind his tinted glasses. "Are you so sure that I will entrust Saegusa to Mayumi?"
Faced with Koichi Saegusa's question, Yunyi responded nonchalantly, "Whether or not to entrust it to Mayumi is none of my business. Besides, for the Saegusa Family, there doesn't seem to be a better option, does there? Lord Saegusa, could you possibly find a better way out?"
In response to Yunyi's question, Koichi Saegusa chuckled but did not answer. He turned to Yunyi: "As far as I know, you have a good relationship with those two children from the Yotsuba Family, right? What kind of choice do you think Yotsuba Clan will make?"
" Yotsuba Clan?" Yunyi pondered for a moment before answering directly, "That depends on how persistent Maya Yotsuba is with that crazy idea."
"Crazy? I must say, your assessment of Maya is quite accurate." Koichi Saegusa paused slightly before continuing, "Just as you said, from the moment I stopped you from being with Mayumi, Saegusa had no way out. I can entrust Saegusa to Mayumi, and I believe that this decision will benefit many more people. However, I still remain skeptical about your plan."
" Yunyi-kun, you should also be well aware that even though Saegusa is from Ten Master Clans and can influence the attitudes of some people, there are still many dissenting voices within the Ten Master Clans. It's impossible to gain the unanimous approval of all the Master Clans simply through military intimidation."
" Lord Saegusa, I think your worries are completely unnecessary. Before answering your questions, I would like to ask you a question. What do you think is the reason why the Japan magicians are observing the attitude of the Ten Master Clans before making a decision?" Yunyi asked.
"It's strength, and the influence accumulated over a long period of time," said Koichi Saegusa.
"What if we step Japan and expand this scope to the whole world?" Yunyi pressed.
Koichi Saegusa pursed his lips but did not answer the question.
"Whether it's Japan magicians, magicians from the Great Asian Alliance, or even magicians from other countries, when faced with this choice, they only have two possibilities. One is to follow the crowd, that is, to go with the flow. The other is to observe the choices made by those powerful magicians."
"The ranking system for magicians actually has significant flaws, but the higher the magician's rank, the more people they can influence. And in the entire magical world, the most influential are undoubtedly those so-called Strategic-Class Magic."
At this point, Yunyi paused. He looked at Koichi Saegusa, " Lord Saegusa, aside from the Strategic-Class Magic you know, guess how many other Strategic-Class Magic there are in this world?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Koichi Saegusa's pupils constricted sharply. This was a possibility he had never considered before; after all, there were only about fifty Strategic-Class Magic in the entire world.
Moreover, this figure is an inference made after taking into account that various countries may conceal some information due to their national circumstances. If Yunyi can really mobilize a large number of Strategic-Class Magic to support him, then no organization or country in the world will be able to refuse the new order they want to establish!
