"No, we don't need your help. Yunyi, I think it's better if we handle this ourselves."
Tatsuya Shiba's answer was not beyond Yunyi's expectations. He shrugged and reached out to grab an energy ball floating beside him.
"I heard that Yotsuba Clan announced your engagement? As a friend, I should give you a gift, right?" With that, Yunyi threw the ball of light in her hand at Tatsuya Shiba.
Seeing the ball of light flying towards him, Tatsuya Shiba didn't find it strange and simply reached out and caught it. Only after he had it in his hand did a look of surprise appear on his face.
He opened his palm and saw a small box. From the outside, it looked very similar to those boxes used to store jewelry. And when Tatsuya Shiba opened the box, what he saw was indeed jewelry. To be precise, a pair of rings.
He looked at Yunyi with a puzzled expression, but Yunyi simply chuckled and replied, "Although it does seem a little odd for me to be preparing the rings since you two are engaged, I have a deal with Miyuki, and this is my answer. As for the style, I consulted Mayumi and Lina. This pair was chosen by us together."
Upon hearing Yunyi's words, Miyuki Shiba immediately understood the significance of the rings. On the surface, the rings appeared to be a token worn by the siblings to signify their engagement or even marriage. But in reality, perhaps...
Thinking of this, Miyuki Shiba looked at Tatsuya Shiba. At this moment Tatsuya Shiba activated his Elemental Sight and carefully examined the rings. Just as Miyuki Shiba thought, there was indeed a spell engraved on the rings, using the same technique that Shen Yi had used in the Engraving-Type CAD he developed.
However, because the ring's space is too small, inscribing one spell is already the limit. But this spell, called " Emotional Resonance," is exactly what is needed to change Tatsuya Shiba's brain.
"While my Kotodama Curse can grant Tatsuya some emotional fluctuations, his emotions have been erased too thoroughly. To fully recover, relying solely on my incantation will take a very long time. The spell within these rings can serve as an aid, allowing you and your brother to connect emotionally. Both wearers can sense each other's emotional fluctuations and changes. By learning from Miyuki's emotional fluctuations, Tatsuya can adapt and shorten his recovery time. At the same time, it will also deepen his understanding of you."
Yunyi's voice rang in Miyuki Shiba's mind. This suddenness startled Miyuki. However, after hearing Yunyi's words, she immediately took the rings from Tatsuya Shiba's hand, and then, under everyone's gaze, grabbed Tatsuya Shiba's hand and put the rings on her finger.
"Hey, Miyuki..." Tatsuya Shiba wanted to dissuade her, but seeing the anxious look on his younger sister's face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Well, Miyuki is quite bold," Maya Yotsuba teased, but her words eased the awkwardness of the situation.
Miyuki Shiba felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't think she was wrong. Her greatest wish was for her brother to recover.
"Alright, now that the gifts are all given, let's get down to business." After saying that, Yunyi looked at Retsu Kudou and the remaining government official beside him.
These two were taken aback by Yunyi's series of actions after his arrival. He killed a high-ranking military officer without batting an eye, then chatted and laughed with the representative of the Yotsuba Family while exchanging gifts, and now... he's going to expel them?
"You..."
Just as the government official was about to speak, the orb of light floating beside Yunyi flickered slightly. This sight, like a threat, immediately silenced the official.
"Don't worry, I won't kick you out. Anyway, what I'm going to do doesn't require your approval, and I'm not afraid for you to know. If you want to listen, then sit down and listen. But I don't want you interrupting us, understand?"
Yunyi warned Retsu Kudou and the official, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
Retsu Kudou for a moment, then sat down. As for the government official, after glancing at everyone present, he silently walked behind Retsu Kudou. Although he represented the Japan government, in his current capacity, he seemed unqualified to sit at the table. As for the officer who had died, his body was thrown into the Imaginary Number Space as Yunyi sat down.
The conversation proceeded smoothly, and everyone present, except for Retsu Kudou and the other two, had already expressed their support. As a mage, a mage who had been restrained for a long time, and the head of a mage family, they believed that what Yunyi was doing was necessary.
At least, he has a clear vision and the ability to control the overall situation. Otherwise, if things continue to develop as they are, perhaps one day in the future, an even bloodier revolution will occur, just like the witch hunts in medieval Europe.
However, at the end of the conversation, an unexpected event occurred. But this unexpected event did not originate from the conference room. An intelligence report from the outside world shattered the peaceful atmosphere within the meeting room.
"Beep beep beep~"
Mayumi Saegusa's personal terminal could still be used even within the isolation barrier set up by Yunyi. She took out the terminal with a puzzled look, but after seeing the contents on it, her expression immediately turned ugly.
" Yunyi-kun..." Mayumi Saegusa handed the terminal to Yunyi.
Yunyi's expression darkened upon seeing the contents. He glanced at Retsu Kudou and the government official beside him, and sneered, "Is this your method?"
Retsu Kudou's lips curled into a slight smile, as if victory was assured. But the next moment, Yunyi's words plunged him straight into the Abyss.
"What a despicable people, always have been. I originally wanted to leave you some room to live, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore."
"Besides, do you think I can't attend to matters on the front lines while I'm here? You old fool, you underestimate me."
Having said that, Yunyi stood up. He walked to the French windows and drew a few lines on them. A large, dark golden door appeared on the clear glass. As the door opened, Yunyi stepped forward and went inside. As his figure disappeared inside, two spears formed from lightning flew out from inside the door and shot directly at Retsu Kudou and the government official.
