"The two most famous processing systems used in internal system construction right now are the general-purpose and specialized types. Their excellent processing power and stability over long periods of operation make them very popular among magicians, especially the CADs produced by Yotsuba Clan Technology."
"However, while the general-purpose type can be widely applied and adapted to all sorts of magic, its shortcomings are also obvious. Many special forms of magic cannot run perfectly on it, or even run at all."
"Specialized CADs have similar shortcomings. The exact opposite of the general-purpose type, they only handle special forms of magic, and their performance is excellent enough, but they can't be used as freely as general-purpose CADs, and their range of magic processing is limited."
"You're not planning to make a CAD with those same shortcomings, are you?"
Tiffany looked at the CAD sitting on the machine, waiting for its internal system to be built, and asked Chiba Yeyou with a soft laugh.
"Of course not!"
Chiba Yeyou nodded. He had researched the built-in systems of both types of CAD, studying practically every CAD he could buy or get his hands on. (Chiba Yeyou: My dear big sister Tiffany very reluctantly provided the funding! Tiffany: The reluctance was fake!)
Of everything Chiba Yeyou had studied, the products from Yotsuba Clan Technology had the best performance-in other words, Tatsuya Shiba's work.
Since he already understood the strengths and weaknesses of general-purpose and specialized CADs, he had to make up for their shortcomings, enhance their strengths, and add even better capabilities.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Tiffany gave him a playful look.
"!!!"
"Would you stop tempting me?!"
Chiba Yeyou couldn't stop staring.
This enchantress had curves in all the right places, and her delicate features gave her a flawless face. The occasional hint of allure she revealed really was more than Chiba Yeyou could take.
"Hahaha!"
Tiffany suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
I take back that compliment!
A shame she had a mouth!
He rolled his eyes irritably at the woman laughing like an idiot, pulled up a chair, sat down at the console, and began building the CAD's system.
Watching Chiba Yeyou work continuously on the system at the computer, Tiffany couldn't help smiling.
This little brother has grown up!
Mm, he's ready to be a husband!
So outstanding!
I raised him!
Tiffany indulged in her fantasies, looking both lovestruck and narcissistic.
It was almost four in the morning, and Tiffany leaned back on the sofa and drifted off to the clacking of the keyboard.
"Sigh!"
"What a childish personality!"
Chiba Yeyou silently glanced at the woman who kept supporting him, went back to the bedroom to fetch a blanket, and gently draped it over Tiffany as she lay on her side before returning to work.
A smile suddenly appeared on her half-covered face, and she shifted into a comfortable position before drifting off.
"Phew~"
"Finally finished!"
Chiba Yeyou stood up and stretched, then looked at his creation with satisfaction.
He turned to look at Tiffany, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and shook his head. He wouldn't wake her for breakfast.
Chiba Yeyou walked over to the sofa and gently picked Tiffany up, intending to carry her into the bedroom to sleep, only for her to wrap her arms around him.
"You're awake?"
Chiba Yeyou called softly to her again, but Tiffany still showed little reaction.
"Never mind. You should sleep in the bed!"
Chiba Yeyou murmured to himself.
With her arms around Chiba Yeyou's neck, Tiffany smiled again.
Little brother smells so good!
No, wait!
It's the scent of my husband raised from childhood!
Wahahaha!
After struggling to remove the woman's arms from his neck and laying her on the bed, Chiba Yeyou went into the kitchen and began making breakfast.
About twenty minutes later, Chiba Yeyou finished making breakfast and started eating quickly, or he would be late for school.
"Damn it!"
"Working overtime for the first time in ages made me forget I'm a high school student now, and I still have to go to 'work'!"
Chiba Yeyou stuffed bread and milk into his mouth. Unfortunately, he had no time for the little plate of side dishes or the fried dough sticks. He was really in a hurry, so after some thought, he decided he might as well head to school with another slice of bread in his mouth.
He tidied the table, left a serving of breakfast, placed the ring-shaped CAD on the table, grabbed a slice of bread between his teeth, and hurried out.
After Chiba Yeyou left, the bedroom door opened, and Tiffany came out, grinning as she slipped the ring onto her right ring finger. (Tiffany: My heart belongs to someone now, so the rest of you can get lost!)
Tiffany elegantly ate the lovingly prepared breakfast Chiba Yeyou had made. (Chiba Yeyou: I was just grabbing a bite.) It had been a long time since she'd eaten her little brother's cooking, and she'd missed it dearly.
"Mm, looks like he'll make a good husband. Hehe!"
Tiffany remained immersed in her own little world...
"Good morning!"
"Junior Chiba Yeyou!"
Chiba Yeyou turned around, and sure enough, he saw a girl waving as she ran toward him, calling out greetings as she came.
"Uh, why do you make the same entrance every single time?"
Chiba Yeyou took the bread out of his mouth and asked in some disbelief.
"Uh..."
Mayumi Saegusa was stumped.
Thinking back to the previous two times they'd met in the morning, it really did seem to have happened that way!
"Well!"
"Don't worry about the details!"
"Let's walk together!"
Mayumi Saegusa offered him a smile.
"What else could I do, shove you aside and warn you to stay away from me?"
Chiba Yeyou rolled his eyes, amused by her remark.
"Junior, you'll never get a girlfriend acting like that. You're way too much of a clueless straight guy, you know?"
Mayumi Saegusa rolled her eyes back at him.
She couldn't quite adjust to Chiba Yeyou suddenly acting normal instead of teasing her and joking with her.
"Why do you look so awful? Did something happen?"
Looking at Chiba Yeyou again, Mayumi Saegusa finally noticed how exhausted he seemed. No wonder he wasn't in the mood to joke with her.
"I didn't sleep all night. How could I look good?"
Chiba Yeyou replied listlessly.
"Did something happen?"
Mayumi Saegusa asked with some concern.
"Nothing happened. I was just busy with something of my own."
Chiba Yeyou was only very sleepy right now; some sleep would fix it. It felt just like the times he'd spent all night at an internet café.
"Chiba Yeyou, this is going to interfere with your studies!"
Mayumi Saegusa reminded Chiba Yeyou as he silently ate his slice of bread.
"Don't worry. This was a special case. It won't happen again."
Chiba Yeyou smiled at Mayumi Saegusa.
Other than Tiffany, this was the first time someone had shown concern for him!
"You're actually pretty nice!"
"Huh?"
Chiba Yeyou's sudden remark left Mayumi Saegusa stunned.
"Nothing!"
Chiba Yeyou grinned and changed the subject.
Public Morals Committee meeting room
Chiba Yeyou looked around him blankly.
Who am I?
What am I supposed to do?
Why am I here?
