"..."
Tiffany's sudden remark left Chiba Yeyou stunned.
"This is just a routine examination!"
Chiba Yeyou's face darkened.
Sure, she had an amazing figure, and sure, she was wearing nothing but a bra and panties, and sure...
But!
I, Chiba Yeyou, wasn't thinking about anything like that!
"Oh?"
"Really?"
"Huh?"
"Why are you blushing?"
Tiffany giggled and pinched Chiba Yeyou's cheek.
"Isn't that because you're pinching it?"
Damn it!
I'll never admit it!
All you do every day is tempt me!
"Hurry up and lie down over there!"
Chiba Yeyou hardened his tone and pointed at the bed of the body-scanning instrument beside them, giving Tiffany a perfectly serious order.
"All right, all right, little guy. You really can't take a little teasing!"
Tiffany walked toward the bed with a pout, then suddenly turned back.
"Actually, if you want to see more, I can keep taking things off~"
Bang!
Bzzzz!
Chiba Yeyou had been operating the computer, but that one remark broke through his defenses and made him hit the wrong key. The program frantically reported errors, popping up all sorts of windows and emitting a constant warning buzz.
"Please, give me a break!"
Chiba Yeyou let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down, helplessly begging for mercy.
I'd even started picturing it!
I absolutely had to calm down.
"Hehe!"
"Then I'll let you off!"
With that, Tiffany lay on her back on the bed.
Looks like I've still got plenty of charm!
At least this little guy couldn't resist it.
Tiffany thought happily.
After a beam of blue light swept over her, precise, detailed data had been transmitted to the computer.
The reason she had to undress for the examination was to ensure the accuracy of the data and avoid all sorts of unexpected incidents. Although those incidents would not necessarily all be bad, even good surprises had to be controllable, or they would be ticking time bombs.
It could also reduce the margin of error, allowing the CAD to make optimal adjustments based on the user's specific circumstances, while the user could better integrate their own abilities with the CAD to bring out their magic's maximum performance.
That was why people generally did not let others casually tamper with something as personal as a CAD.
But the trust between Chiba Yeyou and Tiffany went without saying. Even her CAD had been made by Chiba Yeyou, so what was wrong with letting him look at her body?
Wasn't that just giving him a little reward?
"All done. You can get up."
Without turning his head, Chiba Yeyou kept clacking away at the keyboard.
He had to admit that Tatsuya Shiba really was talented as a magic engineer. Chiba Yeyou had once used automated processing too, unwilling to type everything by hand. After all, it involved converting hundreds of millions, or even billions to nearly ten billion, East Asian characters. Never mind how complicated it was, the sheer volume alone was enough to terrify anyone.
But after the automated process had gone wrong once, Chiba Yeyou had never used it again. With something he had written himself, whether he was using it, modifying it, or dealing with a system problem, he could spot the issue at a glance!
And if he couldn't, he'd take another look!
No matter how he looked at it, this had far more advantages than automation. It just required a great deal of practice to ensure accuracy and improve speed.
"How is it?"
"Not bad, but this thing will take a few days to finish. It's a pretty big project. The initial framework is complete, but there's just too much to input for everything I want to load."
Feeling the soft body draped over his back, Chiba Yeyou found its warmth very comfortable and immediately realized that Tiffany had leaned against him without even putting any clothes on.
It felt rather nice, so he couldn't help leaning back a little as he kept typing.
"Who was asking about that?"
"I meant my measurements! My figure!"
"What do you think of those?"
Feeling Chiba Yeyou's little movement, Tiffany couldn't help smiling happily.
"Pretty good. Perfect golden proportions. Whoever marries you will have it made."
Chiba Yeyou pursed his lips, but his hands never stopped moving.
What a joke!
Did a question like that even need thinking about?
Did she take me for a greenhorn like Tatsuya Shiba?
I don't want to take a hit... uh, come to think of it, I can't seem to be knocked unconscious unless I want to sleep. It seems I'd only blow up outright once my domain protection magic, Defense Countermeasure, couldn't hold out anymore, right?
Chiba Yeyou thought as he worked, though he wasn't certain whether he really couldn't be knocked unconscious. After all, who would hurt themselves for no reason?
He actually didn't know what would happen to him if his domain protection magic couldn't hold out. But in Chiba Yeyou's view, if even a defense like that could be pierced with ease, then his situation probably wouldn't be much different from exploding on the spot.
I'm getting sidetracked. Just keep typing!
"Mmm, good answer!"
Tiffany nodded in satisfaction.
"But how should I reward you?"
Tiffany reached out and pinched Chiba Yeyou's cheek.
"The best reward you could give me would be to go lie down in your room and stop distracting me."
Chiba Yeyou sighed, feeling rather helpless.
I'm only sixteen!
I'm not even an adult yet!
Is it really okay for you to do this?
Doesn't that big conscience of yours... uh, it really is pretty big.
At that thought, even Chiba Yeyou's hands slowed considerably.
Damn it!
What am I thinking?
Chiba Yeyou hurriedly shook his head and threw out all those messy thoughts.
A typist's life, a typist's soul-typing is what makes you superior!
April 9, 2095, Common Era. New club member recruitment period, day four.
The next day, Chiba Yeyou patrolled the school as before, though he hardly had anything to do. His fearsome reputation had spread, and wherever he was responsible for patrolling, no one dared be foolish enough to cause trouble. Everything was so harmonious and friendly.
"I'm bored!"
"It really is a lovely day!"
"I'll go sit in the woods over there for a while. Everyone knows how friendly I am anyway. Nothing major could possibly go wrong."
After muttering a few words to himself, he headed down the shaded path and found a bench, then stretched out across it. Taking out a long, narrow mobile terminal, he swiped it lightly, and a blue screen of light appeared before him, followed by a virtual keyboard. Chiba Yeyou began tending to his own business during work.
Ring, ring!
Hmm?
Chiba Yeyou pressed down with his right hand, and the mobile terminal's screen and keyboard vanished.
He took out the communication device he carried and removed his earpiece.
"This is the Student Council. A brawl has broken out in Gymnasium One. Any Public Morals Committee members who aren't currently occupied, please head to the scene as soon as possible."
Mayumi Saegusa's voice came through.
"This is Tatsuya Shiba. I'll head over to provide support immediately!"
Another voice suddenly sounded over the communications channel.
"Tatsuya Shiba, hmm..."
"Shiba A, Shiba One?"
"Whatever, as long as you don't drag... damn it!"
Before Chiba Yeyou could finish, he spotted Shiba Jungler's distant figure.
Hum~
Quantum Magic: Situational Awareness
"Vibration-type, small-scale magic, Ground Subsidence. Grade C magic."
Tatsuya Shiba had already spotted Chiba Yeyou, but before he could speak, he noticed the magic in front of him and immediately tried to cast interference magic.
Crack!
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
