Though I had arrived in Japan, the Yotsuba Clan's location was unknown to . So I called Maya's father to ask for the location.
Following those directions, I arrived at the Kobuchizawa railway station, where a man in his early thirties was waiting. He turned around and narrowed his eyes at .??
"Who is there?"
He sensed even with my upgraded E-Rank stealth.
Impressive.
I revealed my presence.
"Are you a Yotsuba?"
"You must be Marikawa-dono Aniue sent to pick up." His bright eyes betrayed his expressionless face.
A male kuudere.
Please no.
Eisaku Yotsuba: Respect 32]
Eisaku?
(The younger brother of Genzou. He also brings up the suggestion to train Tatsuya into a warrior.)
This guy saved Tatsuya's life as the Clan mbers were determined to kill him. Instead of saving, it was more like using his powers for Clan's benefit. All because he was born with two unique powers and the potential to destroy everything if he ever wished for it. That still didn't justify his treatnt.
If I ever have a child, I will pamper him or her every day, just like I spoil my won. I creampied so many won without the barrier, did anyone get pregnant?
Eisaku motioned to a black SUV standing nearby.
"Please."
"Of course."
We perched on the backseat. The black panels on the side slid up and the car started. The front seat was blocked with another panel, so I couldn't see through the front panel as well. They sure took great asures to hide their Clan's location.
"I apologize if this bothers you in any way."
"It's fine. I am sure your Clan wants to remain hidden."
"I still haven't thanked you for saving Maya."
"Please don't. I did it out of my own volition, certainly not to receive any praise."
"You are an understanding man…"
He didn't speak and I didn't want to waste ti speaking with him.
'Le, how many minutes since I've been gone?'
'Master, let check...…. Two minutes?'
The minute-long silence showed how much ti she took to process my request.
'Klyscha, how can she speak properly?'
(Telepathy conveys thoughts without any restrictions imposed by ti or distance.)
'I see. I'll ss with Saya then.'
I connected to Saya's link.
'Saya, are you busy?'
'No.'
Her reply was instantaneous. Her thought processing speed is much higher because of her skill.
'Take a pregnancy test now.'
'P-Pregnancy test?! Are you sure?'
'Yes, babe. Just take one.'
'U-Understood! We will have to wait for so ti.'
She had the highest chance since she was my go-to woman for teasing. What if she really was?
This made strangely nervous.
Two hours later.
"We have arrived."
'Also, how are things over there? Le-chan just said you were very angry like soone incurred your wrath.'
'Nah, it's all good.'
'Is there a ti difference between the worlds? I don't think you'll get angry and calm in two minutes.'
'Smart as ever. Yeah, there's a year-to-day ti ratio here.'
'Wha…t? Are you saying you can spend a year there and only one day will pass here?'
'Yes, my dear Saya.'
'Urr… you are going to get a new woman there, aren't you?'
'I swear there will only be one.'
'That doesn't make happy!'
'I am sorry…'
'Fine, only one.'
We kept bickering until the car stopped.
Eisaku opened the door for . "Marikawa-dono, we have arrived."
I sized up my outfit. A sweatshirt and jeans opposed to guards standing in black suits in front of a one-storey manor built in ancient style. It's not like they invited formally, so it's fine to dress up like a thug.
"Please."
Instead of going inside the house, Eisaku followed the periter and brought to a complex.
"Onii-sama, here!" Maya waved her hands with enthusiasm. She stood beside a girl with exact looks. However, unlike Maya, who had wavy hair, this girl fastened her straight hair in a bun with two bangs swaying on the side of her cute face.
She was Miya Yotsuba.
Genzou stood behind them with a polite smile, though his presence was strong as usual.
They weren't the only people here since I felt many presences stalking from the houses beside this one.
Maya didn't jump on this ti and rely bowed her head. Miya followed suit with grace before smiling with eyes full of gratitude.
They were this close but today's incident could have ruined their life so much in the original tiline. Miya turned Maya's mories into re images, earning Maya's hatred. Miya ended up with a frail body in the future. Maya's twisted desire for revenge transferred to Miya's child, Tatsuya, giving him the power to decompose anything. Miya used her magic again to seal most of Tatsuya's emotions, so he won't ever go berserk and destroy the world, despite knowing the consequences on her frail self. She died several years later from the stress of her inherent magic.
One single night fucked up their life.
Will Tatsuya still have his powers?
I don't know.
"Onii-sama?"
Maya's call snapped back to reality.
"What?"
Maya took my hand and dragged into the living room, giggling all the way.
What energy… I felt like an old man before this bubble of enthusiasm.
We plopped on a couch while Genzou and Miya sat facing us.
"Marikawa-dono, I would like to thank you as the Yotsuba clan head."
"I also thank you for saving my precious imouto."
These guys were still stuck with this...
"Stop with gratitude, please."
Genzou assud a serious expression. "Now onto the official talk, Marikawa-dono, we received the news regarding the demise of Kunlungfang Institute. Were you behind it?"
I confird with a nod of my head.
Genzou and Miya seed surprised while Maya sneakily closed the gap.
"Your ability to travel this fast is unmatched and you possess two unique powers. You are very much a threat to the countries embroiled in war and perhaps even Japan."
I squinted my eyes with a smile. "Is that so?"
Genzou shook his head. "Then why has no one ever heard of a powerful magician like you?"
"Otou-sama," Miya interjected. "Marikawa-dono doesn't hold any malice toward us."
"I know that as well." Genzou narrowed his eyes. "I think many people will try to use or harm you. That's why please stay at this place until the fire of your presence dies from everyone's eyes."
Was this his way of saying, 'Please stay here and be happy with my daughter?'
"Then I will be in your care."
"You can call your parents here as well."
Miya gave a graceful smile. "Any other relative or even a girlfriend are also welco."
"My parents are no longer alive… my girlfriends are too far away."
Miya suddenly stood with wide eyes. "Girlfriends?!"
Even Genzou ford a helpless frown. I turned to Maya, who bit the corner of her lips with teary eyes.
"How many?" she asked.
"Ten." I gave an honest reply since tricking girls wasn't in my blood.
"Ten… O-Onii-sama is a playboy?"
"Pretty much."
Her eyes took a serious glint. She placed a hand on my lap. "Onii-sama, I-I don—"
"Maya!" Miya cut her off. "Please calm down. Don't be so quick in this type of matter. You only t today after all."
Maya was about to agree… Wasn't she too infatuated with ?
"Maya, Miya, leave the room."
"Otou-sama… I understand." Maya agreed reluctantly and let go of my hand.
Both Maya and Miya left the room.
Genzou sighed. "Polygamy is a common practice in Ten Master Clans since strong genes are cherished. But having ten mistresses is excessive."
"I love every one of them, so don't ask to leave them for Maya."
I asserted this before Genzou could say this.
"We wouldn't be having this talk if I thought of you as a bad man. Miya herself must have sensed your personality with ntal Design Interference. But with Maya's Elent genes, it will be hard for her to develop romantic feelings for anyone other than you."
"That I can understand."
"I just need you to rember that."
He also left the room.
I shrugged and gave a wink at the maid serving the drinks. She rolled her eyes and fled the room.
