While Tatsuya was trying his best to py dumb during his talk with Mibu Sayaka, Yuuji and Aika returned home after finishing their meeting with the Disciplinary ittee.

  Curious stares, along with the usual jealous and awe stares, apahem as they walked out of the school together. And when they reached far enough where no students were there, their hands csped onto each other.

  Yuuji never inteo hide his retionship with Aika in school. It was Aika who kept a certain distance from him and simply appeared as his super close friend.

  He had asked why she would do that, and she told him it was to prevent the promi female characters around him who she wao take into Yuuji’s bed from losing hope immediately. After all, harem and various other romantic cultures an otaku could think of weren’t as popur in this world’s Japan than in Aika’s world. This was true especially in Yuuji’s world, where polygamy had been legalized by the gover in order to prevent the rapidly deing popution of the try.

  The Japan in Mahouka was still very reserved, which Yuuji realized when Erika got super embarrassed simply from having her bzer slightly disheveled.

  Thus, if Aika was known to be Yuuji’s girlfriend, those girls might lose hope and won’t even try to pursue a retionship with Yuuji before Aika could coax and vihem of being in Yuuji’s harem. And if they do, she won’t be able to taste their delicious-looking bodies!!!

  Yuuji was truly speechless after hearing Aika’s expnation, but si was her decision, he didn’t fight against it and simply let fate decide. At least, to make up for the time they couldn’t flirt in school, they’ve been flirting a lot outside of it and never missed a day of lovemaking except for when Tatsuya and Miyuki visited their home.

  The two went on a short after school date, visiting an ice cream shop and a taiyaki stand to eat during their walk and for a midnight sna case they got a bit peckish during their night-long love-making session.

  With one hand holding a bag of taiyaki and the other holding each other’s hand, Yuuji and Aika soon arrived at their home.

  “Oh, that’s right. I meant to ask you sooner, but I fot about it since we’re on a small date just now.”

  “Hm? What is it?”

  “Would you like to go on a date with me, a proper one…? We might be busy during the bnche i and the nine schools petition after that, but… perhaps we could find some time after them?”

  “Eh…? R-Really?! I’ll go!!! Of course I’ll go!!!! It’ll be our first date ever~! Eheheheh~ I’m so excited~!”

  Aika jumped into Yuuji’s embrad rubbed her fa his chest, humming in giddiness.

  “Where are we going?”

  “Hm, I was thinking of going to a h over the weekend. It will just be the two of us. Wouldn’t that be romantic?”

  “Uhn uhn!!! That’s a great idea~! Let’s do it~!!!! Hehehehe~ A hot spring date~ I ’t wait~”

  Looking at Aika’s excitement, Yuuji also couldn’t help but smile and tightened his arms around her, smooshing her soft, massive breasts onto his chest.

  Then, uo hold back the lust he had been accumuting all this time while Aika buried his arm in her breasts, Yuuji approached her sensitive ears and whispered with a deep voibsp;

  “Let’s pn our first date together while we take a bath. And while we’re on it, how about we practice making love while being ih?”

  Yuuji tightened his hug and nibbled on her ears, causing her entire body to shiver and lose strength.

  “Y-Yuuji… T-That’s unfair…”

  “Hm? What’s unfair?”

  “U-uuuhhh… You’re teasing me again… Carry me to the bathroom! Then I’ll show you who’s boss!!!”

  “Hehehe, alright.”

  Yuuji lifted her up into a princess carry, kissing her luscious, pink lips as she looked at him in a daze, and headed to the bath.

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  A few hours after entering the bath, Yuuji and Aika finally took a bath together before they both soaked in the massive jacuzzi.

  Aika sat in front of Yuuji, leaning back to his chest and nuzzling to his neck while Yuuji ed his arms around her waist, embrag her closely.

  “By the way, do you already know which hot spri we’re going to go to for our date, Yuuji?”

  “No… Since we’re in a different world, I’m ly sure if there'll be hot spris that are famous from the world we came from. We might o ask Tatsuya and Miyuki for their reendations.”

  “Oh, that’s a great idea! Let’s call them no-”

  Just then, they heard Yuuji’s phohat he put on the side of the jacuzzi ringing.

  He picked it up and looked at the s before showing it to Aika..

  “hat a ce.”

  “Hehehe~ Are you and Tatsuya ected somehow~ You seemed to be in sync with him~”“It’s just a ce.”

  Yuuji karate chopped her head softly and answered the call.

  “Yo Tatsuya. How was your date with Mibu Sayaka-senpai?”

  A sight resounded from the other side, causing a grin to appear on Yuuji and Aika’s faces.

  “I’m lucky we’re not on speaker… Please don’t say such a thing. Miyuki will freeze everything around her.”

  “Ahahaha, I’m sorry. So? How did it go? Did you do well ag dumb?”

  “Don’t worry. It went just like we expected. Mibu-senpai set that her swordsmanship was looked down upoo her ck of talent in magic. She showed clear pt towards the very idea of such discrimination. She also told me that all non-magic-oriented clubs have decided to unite and create a separate anization to the Extracurricur Activities Federation to present their arguments to the school in hopes to perhaps lessen the discrimination and advocate fairo the treatments of these non-magic-oriented clubs.”

  “I see… Well, we all know that they will barricade themselves in the broadcasting room to force the Student cil to a debate and thehat ce to attack the school and steal data from the library… Should we have the chairwoman strehe school’s defenses during that time?”

  “We could. In fact, I’ve already pnned on doing it as soon as possible. I’ll need your and Aika's help to vihe chairwoman.”

  “Of course. Then, we’ll let them force the Student cil to a debate and then take care of the attack swiftly as pnned.”

  “Yes. We’ll rout them as quickly as possible. You and Aika should be in the hall when that happens. I’ll be outside and deal with the threat. We’ll revene in the library.”

  “Roger that. You heard that, Aika?”

  “Of course~ Leave it to us, Tatsuya~!”

  “Alright. Then, that will be it for now. Though I want to ask something…”

  “Hm? What is it?”

  “Why do I hear water…?”

  Yuuji and Aika immediately stiffen up. There was no way they could tell him that they’re taking a bath together after having sex!!!

  “A-Ah! We’re in the pool! Aika wao py around, so I apanied her here.”

  “T-That’s right!”

  “I see… Well then, that’s all I wao tell you about. I’ll leave you two to your fun. See you tomorrow.”

  “A-Ah, see you tomorrow.”

  “S-See you, Tatsuya~!”

  The two let out a deep sigh after Yuuji ehe call, and sank deeper into the jacuzzi.

  “Phew~ That was close…”

  “Ah… Thankfully Tatsuya’s not that sharp in this kind of stuff…”

  “...Let’s get out now.”

  “Mm.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  The day.

  Yuuji, Aika, Tatsuya, and Miyuki met up with Mayumi, Mari, Suzune, and Azusa iudent cil room to discuss the meetiween Tatsuya and Mibu Sayaka the previous day.

  “About Mibu-senpai… It seems that the Disciplinary ittee’s activities have earhe students’ animosity.”

  “Hm? What do you mean?”

  “Actually…”

  Tatsuya then reted his versation with Sayaka.

  “Trying to score points, huh? Well, Mibu is misuanding that part. The Disciplinary ittee is just an honorary post and isn’t subject to evaluation.”

  She then gowards Yuuji with a wide grin.

  “So all of your rampaging of detaining rule breakers and humiliating them by dispying them high in the air won’t be subject to evaluation, you know~?”

  Yuuji looked at the grinning chairwoman with deadpan eyes as his smile twitched at the er.

  “I am very aware of that, chairwoman. And I’m not doing it to gain fame or infamy. It’s just the most effit way of restraining them. I simply follow the path of least resistance.”

  “Ufufufu~ I know.”

  Yuuji sighed as Mari and Aika both giggled to his dismay.

  “But it’s also a fact that the Disciplinary ittee wields siderable power within the school. Some will see you as misusing your authority. Well, but there is the possibility that someone has been maniputing that impression…”

  “Do you knoerson’s identity?”

  “Eh? No, no. It’s just a rumor. Though many seemed to believe it given Yuuji-kun’s dispy, especially those who’re jealous of him…”

  Mayumi smiled helplessly at Yuuji.

  “U-Ughh… I-I will take care to not be as fshy ime…”

  “No, your methods are effit and effective. There’s nothing wrong with it. You also prevented many fr to try breaking the rules, otherwise they’ll taste the humiliation of being a mannequin up in the air and watched by many students. But I agree that there must be someone creating this narrative. If we knew who it was, then we would’ve already stopped him.”

  “That isn’t what I was referring to. I was referring to the people behind whoever’s doing the manipution.”

  “Brother…”

  “For example, the anti-magiternational political anization, Bnche…”

  “What?!”

  “Tatsuya-kun, how do you know that name?! Such cssified information…”

  “It’s impossible to keep a lid on all sources of rumors. On the trary, I think such things should be fully disclosed. The gover has been iual in its handling of this matter.”

  “...I agree. Despite the fact that there’s an anization hostile to magic, they cover it up and refuse to front it head on.”

  Mayumi lowered her head in shame. Although she had no trol over it as the Student cil president because it was something the gover itself is doing, she still felt ashamed of the fact.

  “President, it is something that ’t be helped, sidering your position.”

  “Eh?”

  Yuuji smiled softly, seeiroubled expression.

  “This school is a national institution, after all. And the try itself is trying to hide ariformation about this. There’s nothing anyone in your position could do.”

  Mayumi widened her eyes for a moment before a blush appeared on her face.

  “T-Thank you, Yuuji-kun…”

  The room went silent as the rest of them looked at the blushing Mayumi and the smiling Yuuji awkwardly.

  They couldn’t help but be impressed by Yuuji’s swift wooing of Mayumi by soling her and saving her from the brink his friend had driven her into with perfect timing. Was it on purpose?

  “A-Ahem. So Tatsuya-kun, how are you pnning to deal with Mibu?”

  Tatsuya turowards Mari and answered.

  “I am the one waiting for an answer. I will decide after hearing it.”

  “I see… Then I’m ting on you. Yuuji, Aika, support him.”

  “Of course. I have been discussing the matter with Tatsuya as well. I will be there to help.”

  “Me too~ Don’t worry about it, chairwoman~!”

  “Mm. Good answer.”

  Tatsuya then turowards Yuuji a gazes. He nodded and him, and Yuuji returned his nod before turning towards the chairwoman once again.

  “Actually, chairwoman. There’s something I would like to discuss with you. And if possible, I would like the assistance of the Student cil as well.”

  Mari crossed her arm and looked at Yuuji with her eyes narrowed as the others also turheir attention towards him.

  “Hm? What could that be?”

  “It pertains to the defense of the school against infiltrators from a hostile anization.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  The day, after css. An annouo the entire academy resounded from the PA system.

  “Attention, all students! We are a volunteer coalition seeking to abolish discrimination within the school!”

  Yuuji immediately turowards Aika, who also turo look at him, and nodded.

  “So it started… Aika, let’s go.”

  “Uhn!”

  They both stood up from their seats and begaing the css, leaving behind their bags.

  “E-Eh? Yuuji-kun, Aika-? W-Where are you going?”

  “To do our job as the Disciplinary ittee members~ See you ter, Honoka-~ Shizuku-~”

  “E-Eh…?”

  Yuuji and Aika quickly made their way to the broadcasting room as the annou tinued.

  “We demand an opportunity to iate on equal terms with the Student cil and the Extracurricur Activities Federation!”

  Hah… I didn’t uand what Issei-jiisa when he advised me to listen more than speak louder since youths tend to speak louder. But now… It’s painfully obvious what he meant…

  Students have already began murmuring about the tents of the annou, and as they get closer to the broadcasting room, they could already see crowds blog the hallway leading to it.

  They slipped past the crowd of students who were being held off by Disciplinary ittee members and arrived before the broadcasting room. In front of it, Juumoji Kaito, Mari, and Suzune had arrived along with several members of the ittee.

  “You’re here.”

  “Five our tardiness. What is the situation?”

  Just as Yuuji said that, Tatsuya and Miyuki also arrived at the broadcasting room.

  “They’ve cut off the power, so they won’t be broadcasting anymore. But, they’ve locked the door and barricaded themselves inside.”

  “Did they steal the master key?”

  “Yes… They have.”

  “Hah… To think they’d even it a crime.”

  Yuuji let out a sigh as Suzuurowards both Mari and Kaito.

  “Exactly. And for that reason, we should hahis with discretion to prevent them from blowing up any further.”

  “Well, I wouldn’t expect them to suddenly bee docile just because we’re being discreet. Even if it means being somewhat forceful, we should try to resolve this quickly.”

  Mari decided as she looked at Yuuji.

  Knowing Yuuji’s magic, Mari thought it would be simple for him, who had dispyed tremendous power with his magic, to blow open the door and apprehend everyohin. Not only that, there’s also Aika and Miyuki now here as well. Even disregarding the rest of the members of her ittee, they’ve got more than enough power to blow open a simple door and resolve this matter quickly.

  Seeing Mari’s gaze on him, Yuuji could guess what she was thinking. But there were several things that would go pretty bad if he were to bulldozer through this, so he turowards Juumoji Kaitou.

  “...May I hear your opinion on this, Chairman Juumoji.”

  Yuuji asked the stoi beside Mari. He wao know how the other leaders think of this situation and how they want to hahis extremely sensitive and precarious situation.

  “...I don’t see any problem with iating with them. From the outset, this was just a pretext. If we refute it strongly enough, it should assuage their aies.”

  “Then, shall we just stand by for the moment?”

  Tatsuya asked.

  “As far as that goes, I ’t e to a decision just yet. Their unwful behavior ’t go unpunished, but I don’t find it criminal enough to warraroying school facilities for the sake of a speedy resolution.”

  Yuuji smiled and nodded.

  In his opinion, using force to deal with them will just make them even mgressive. Especially if he, a course 1 student, was the one who bst open the door and apprehend all of them. It’ll just fuel their anger even more and give them bullets to use in their speebsp;

  “I agree with Juumoji-senpai. I do not think bsting open the door would be the best way to approach this. The more we use force, the more they’ll retaliate. So… Tatsuya, you make them e out by themselves?”

  “Sure.”

  “Eh? What do you mean…”

  Tatsuya took out his phone as everyouro him and made a call.

  “Hello. Is that you, Mibu-senpai? This is Shiba. So, where are you now? …Oh, so you’re ihe broadcasting room? How unfortunate…”

  Mari turowards Yuuji and looked at him with a mix of surprise and fusion on her face.

  “Yuuji, how did he…”

  “Tatsuya has been keeping in tact with Mibu Sayaka-senpai, who tried to recruit him to join her group, in hopes to gain valuable information on their motives. And it seems it’s paid off now.”

  “...Did you predict this would happen?”

  Yuuji’s lips curled into a smile that stunned both Mari and Suzune for a few moments.

  “Of course not.”

  He shrugged and turowards Tatsuya, listening to his versation.

  “Chairman Juumonji has agreed to iate with you. I have yet to firm the student cil’s position…”

  Tatsuya turowards Suzune, who snapped out of her daze after hearing the name of the anization she’s in, and nodded.

  “No, the student cil has agreed to iate as well. Thus, I would like to discuss the time and date of these iations with you… No, your freedom is guaranteed. Yes… Well then.”

  Tatsuya ehe call and turowards the three.

  “She says they will be ing ht away. So it would be best if we get ourselves into position… Except if you want Yuuji to hahis alone.”

  Yuuji nodded and lifted up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing his bracelet-shaped CAD.

  “Eh? Positions?”

  “Positions to put them into custody.”

  “You… It seems to me that you just told them that you’d guaraheir freedom… And you’re just raring to go huh, Yuuji?”

  “Well, given the drastic methods they're willing to use to get what they want, we ’t rule out the possibility of them using force to run away, right? Also, I already guess this is what Tatsuya nning sidering his words.”

  “Hah… What shrewd little juniors I have… Just don’t take it too far, alright?”

  Mari sighed helplessly and g Yuuji with a narrowed gaze.

  “Of course.”

  The moment the doors to the broadcasting room opened, everyohin the room was immediately held by an invisible force, causing their arms to stick to their body araining them pletely, before their body began to float up. No matter how hard they fil their legs or try to break out of the restraint, the sheer force of the air pressing around them was too powerful for them to do anything.

  The other disciplinary members who saw this couldn’t help but stare in awe as a single persorained all of them in an instant and made them float, pletely helpless.

  “What is the meaning of this?! Did you double-cross us?!”

  Sayaka yelled out in shock as she ran towards Tatsuya with her hand up. But before she could touch him, Tatsuya held her hand and stopped her.

  “Shiba didn’t double-cross you.”

  “Chairman Juumonji…”

  Kaito approached them as he looked at the students floating up in the room, struggling, before turning towards Sayaka.

  “We’ll listen to your demands. But plying with your requests and approving of the measures you took are two different things.”

  Then suddenly, a familiar, beautiful, bell-like voice resounded from behind them. And when they looked, they saw Mayumi approag Yuuji and putting her hand on his shoulder with Suzune following closely behind.

  “Would you mind releasing them?”

  “Saegusa…”

  “...”

  Yuuji kept his spell and turowards his chairwoman, who looked bewilderedly towards Mayumi’s decision.

  “I know what yoing to say, Mari. But we ’t set up iations with Mibu-san alone now, we? As long as they’re students at this school, there’s no reason to view them as flight risks.”

  “We would never run away!”

  Sayaka yelled at Mayumi when she insihey would flee from this.

  “The school has decided to leave this matter in the hands of the student cil.”

  “What?”

  Mari excimed in surprise.

  “Mibu-san, I would like to discuss our pendiiations with your coalition. Would you mind ing with me?”

  “Yes, that’s fih me.”

  Mibu said as Tatsuya let go of her wrists, before looking towards Yuuji.

  Yuuji turowards Mari, who o him, aly put all of the students he held down to the ground.

  The moment their feet touched the floor once more ahe invisible force holding them vanish, they couldn’t help but look at Yuuji in fear.

  …Am I the vilin now…?

  Sayaka walked away along with Mayumi and Suzuing the room. And following after them, the rest of the students held by Yuuji also run after them, but keeping a far distaween themselves and Yuuji.

  “Ufufufu~ You’re pletely treated like the bad guy just now huh, Yuuji~?”

  Aika grieasingly as she popped up from his side.

  “Hah… Why am I the bad guy, now…?”

  “Well after you restrain all of them with that ridiagic, it’s no wohey’d bee afraid.”

  “Please don’t rub salt into my wounds, chairwoman…”
