Early in the morning on the first day of winter break, Tatsuya went to the FLT Third Division.
Miyuki and Minami stayed at ho. The FLT Third Division could be said to be his ho ground and he was always welco there. Even Tatsuya knew this. That day, he chose to go to the lab because the server at ho was slower. So, he spent his ti at ho carefully thinking about the project.
He was scheduled to begin the new project from this day onwards. Rather than the developnt of a new CAD, he was designing a large- scale system using Magic Engineering. The project implentation date was yet to be known. In the first place, it was impossible to complete such a large-scale project with only the work of FLT.
The project na was ESCAPES (Extract both useful and harmful Substances from the Coastal Area of the Pacific using Electricity generated by the Stellar generator). It was a project to access substances from the depths of the sea in the Pacific Ocean's coastal region by ans of a Stellar Furnace, but in a sense it was also a ans of escape or free the substances.
At the current stage, he still needed to wait to incorporate the design into the system and create the plan proposal. Still, it was a huge step closer to his goal.
He had this idea about three years ago in 2093, a year after the Okinawa Incident in August. The Loop Cast System, Flight Magic as well as the Stellar Furnace were developed for the heart of this system, and he managed to gather the last piece the other day. Whether it was this project or Tatsuya, both of them still had a long way to go. That aside, given the significance of the project, it was unavoidable for him to be fired up.
However, his enthusiasm was suddenly washed over by cold water after an hour of work.
Sorry for bothering you, Young Master.
Transmissions using quantum encryption were taboo. As Tatsuya was viewing so highly confidential data, he received a call from a female secretary from FLT's Third Division.
What is it?
He did not want to stop working, however, the reason must be quite important if the secretary had knowingly disturbed him. Tatsuya stopped typing to hit the intercom button to reply.
Excuse , Kuroba Mitsugu wishes to see you, Young Master. What should I tell him?
Tatsuyas eyebrows rose unconsciously.
Mitsugu had not visited FLT before, as far as Tatsuya knew. As Mitsugus work entailed the collection of intelligence for the Yotsuba, he would have no reason to visit FLT, which was in the comrce/financial division of the Yotsuba.
I will see him. Please bring light snacks to the offline reception.
He did not have enough information to guess the purpose of Mitsugus visit. Tatsuya realized that at once.
He needed to make sure of what the purpose of this visit was. That was his reason for asking the staff to guide Mitsugu to a room which was not equipped with an online monitoring system.
Tatsuya made sure to lock the waiting room before greeting Mitsugu.
As he approached Mitsugu, Mitsugu did not seem to have any intention of rising from the sofa. Instead, he noticed that Mitsugu was playing with his fingers anxiously and left his hat on the sofa which was a sign of uneasiness ever since he went inside.
Long ti no see, Kuroba-san. The last ti was during the sumr right?
Yeah.
Mitsugu nodded his head impatiently. His behavior did not seem to be affected only by the bitter mories of the deep wound inflicted by Zhou Gongjin last sumr. He seed to be on edge even before Tatsuya showed up.
May I sit?
Mitsugu nodded in silence, while Tatsuya took the seat opposite to him.
Tatsuya fixed his eyes straight at Mitsugu. There was a large age gap, like that of a parent and child, between the two of them. However, it didnt make Tatsuya nervous at all. There was no hint of bravado in his posture either.
Mitsugu distorted his lips in his upset. Even now, it seed like he was going to cluck his tongue.
However, Mitsugu did not look down on Tatsuya as a re escort. Tatsuya was regarded as a failure of the Yotsuba Family, despite being the nephew of Yotsuba Maya, the current Family Head, and also the brother of Miyuki, the candidate for the next Family Head, especially among the non-combatant servants. As he did not have the suitable magic power, despite having a direct blood relation to the Yotsuba, he was given the role of guardian to his sister out of pity.
However, Mitsugu knew very well that Tatsuya wasnt a failure. Certainly, he could be counted as one based on the current Magicians' standards, but he had a special power that was more than enough to compensate for this flaw. Mitsugu understood this very well.
The upsetness that Mitsugu showed to Tatsuya, was due to the fact that Tatsuya saw him as an equal, despite Tatsuyas age that was not so different with that of his own son.
He couldnt afford to be seen as such. Instead, the one with bravado and trying to push himself unconsciously, perhaps, was Mitsugu himself.
What business do you have with ?
Tatsuya asked so when Mitsugu did not show any signs that he would start talking. He did not say "Im busy now
