After fessing to each other and being a couple, the two stared dazedly into each others’ eyes.
There was no sound in the room, except the sound of their own loudly thumpi which filled their minds. But despite their nervousness, embarrassment, and bashfulness, the immense feeling of happiness, relief, and affe for the person before them filled their heart to the brim.
Mayumi stared dazedly at her new boyfriend’s beautiful, handsome tehe tehat had charmed her the moment she met him. And after iing more with him, his personality, his character, and his aade her gravitate towards him.
Before she k, she had been dreaming of being lovers with him. He had appeared in her dreams multiple times, and even more times in her daydreams. And now… it has finally e true.
Her dreams had finally e true…
“Yuuji-kun…”
“Yes, Mayumi-senpai?”
Her heart tightened in delight the moment he said her was strange… He had called her by name multiple times before. But this time… it was different.
The way he said her name was filled with so much love, affe, alehat made her heart skip a beat! It pierced her heart like a cupid’s arrow!
How did his voice bee even more velvety and captivating?! It’s making her melt in her seat!!!
Suddenly, she felt a sense of danger. If this tinues… she might faint! The bo of his fession, the fact that they’re lovers now, his voice, his warmth, and his touch would be too much for her!!! She had to retreat!!!
“I-I-I have some busio do, so please excuse me!!!”
Mayumi rose from her seat, and immediately ran away and escaped the room, leaving Yuuji chug silently in the room.
Even though she was two years older than him, she was extremely cute. It makes him want to tease her and “bully” her a little. He had always felt this way before, but now that they’re lovers, there was no longer anything holding him back from teasio cloud nine.
He couldn’t wait to see her adorable expressions when he bullies her.
“Alright, let’s get back to work.”
He still o send the research journal Koharu requested to her, so he quickly accessed the database to find it and borrowed it under Koharu’s h the studeails he had received from her.
And just as he was about to report it to Koharu, a message came from Mayumi.
Saegusa Mayumi: Uhm… If possible, I would like to meet with Aika-san and Chiba-san to tell them about our… retionship. you help me arrange a meeting?
Tsubakihara Yuuji: Of course, Mayumi-senpai. I will arra. Would you prefer to meet in my house or elsewhere?
Saegusa Mayumi: Eh? Your house?
Tsubakihara Yuuji: Yes. Aika and I are living together, while Erika often visits and stays over.
Messages from Mayumi stopped ing for a while, before a reply finally came a few mier.
Saegusa Mayumi: Then… Your house, if it’s not much trouble.
Tsubakihara Yuuji: Of course. Then, I will tell you the address and the time ter.
Saegusa Mayumi: Uhn… Thank you, Yuuji-kun.
Tsubakihara Yuuji: You’re wele… My dear girlfriend.
After that, no messages came from Mayumi, and Yuuji could easily imagine her figure being too flustered to even type a single word.
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
Afternoon.
Yuuji, Aika, Tatsuya, Koharu, Kei, and Kanon hung out together after school. They visited several stores, and while the others were busy with their own shopping, Yuuji pulled in Aika for a private versation and told her about what happehis m.
“Oh~? So you finally did it~?”
“Mm. And she wants to talk to you and Erika about this.”
“grats~! Uhn uhn! Of course, I’d love to~! Let’s have a meeting in our house and have diogether~! After that, we strengthen our “sisterly” bond over some hot baths and a sleepover~”
Aika giggled mischievously, her eyes fshing with perverted light when she mentioned “hot bath” and sleeping together. She was, after all, an appreciator of beautiful and cute girls as well~
“...Your desires are showing.”
“Hm~? What are you talking about~?”
She feigned ignorance, but her thoughts were clear to Yuuji.
“Hah… Just don’t harass her. Remember, she’s still your senpai. And she’s still o being in a… harem.”
“Of course, I know that~ I was just kidding~ We’ll treat her nicely~ After all, she’s our new sister~”
“Mm. Thank you, Aika.”
“Fufu~ No problem~ Oh, that’s right! Erika also said she wao talk to you about something.”
“Hm? Of course. What’s it about?”
“Hm… She said it’s reted to Leo, so I think she’s talking about “that”.”
“Oh, I see… Wait, will she be returning to her home with him… alone?”
“Fufufu~ You don’t have to get jealous~ She wondered if she could borrow the underground gym before, so she must be thinking of using ym for the training.”
“I see… Alright.”
“Hehe~ And right after their training, you always mark her while she’s still sweaty and make her eveier~”
“...”
Yuuji blushed at her words as images of Erika, donned in her Kendogi and Hakama, flushed and sweating after her training appeared in his mind…
And then, the moment she returo his room to take a bath and wash off her sweat, he’d attack her and peel off her training clothes one by one while enjoying the st and warmth of her body.
She’ll try to fight him from being embarrassed because of how sweaty she was, but he’ll keep attag and coaxing her until she’s powerless and began drowning in his love…
“Fufu~ You’re imagining, right~?”
“...S-Shut up.”
Just then, the two sensed magic activation ing from outside the store they’re in.
They immediately headed out, and when they exited the store, they saw Tatsuya, Kei, Kanon, and Koharu standing silently, staring into the distance. When they followed their gazes, they could see a plume of smoke ing from it and a brief gnce of a yellow motor scooter in the distanbsp;
Their eyes widened in realization. They recalled something simir happening in the anime, but… this shouldn’t have happened anymore.
After all, in the a was Koharu’s little sister who acted as a spy for the fn io get revenge on Tatsuya for failing to save her sister and causirauma. But now, her sister was fihanks to Yuuji, Aika, and Tatsuya’s help. There’s no reason for her to be a spy!
If it wasn’t her… then who could it be?
“Tatsuya, what happened?”
“...There was someog. Chiyoda-senpai tried to chase after them, but they fled with a modified scooter…”
Yuuji’s expression turned into a frown as he leaned in for a whisper towards Tatsuya.
“Do yhem?”
“He was wearing a mask… But I have an idea. I think it’s Sekimoto Isao.”
“Sekimoto Isao… Wait, the one who will try to steal data by putting you to sleep in the anime?”
“Mm.”
“Hah… I might’ve gotten a bit careless. I thought this wouldn’t happen since we’ve saved Hirakawa-senpai. If I was here, I might’ve been able to capture him…”
Tatsuya pced a hand on his shoulder and shook his head.
“Don’t mind it. This won’t be a problem.”
“...Mm. But we o increase uard. The arc has begun.”
“Yes.”
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
October 19, 2095. M.
Arriving early to css the m, Tatsuya was weled by his friends. They were gathered around Mizuki, who seemed to be… worried and uled.
“Hey, Tatsuya. You’re early today.”
Erika greeted. She, herself, had just arrived not too long ago along with Aika and Yuuji, who had goo their own css after dropping her off here. They went to school together because she stayed ht with them st night.
“Mm. Good m. What were you talking about?”
“She says she sense someone’s gaze.”
Erika said, pg a hand on Mizuki’s shoulder, as she slumped down with a deep frown.
“Gaze?”
“Nn. I’ve been sensing this unpleasant gaze sihis m. Like someoly peering into the cracks from the shadow… It was a creepy gaze.”
“Like a stalker?”
“It’s not after me… But something that’s ready to cast a wide …”
Tatsuya’s eyes narrowed as he kept his gaze straight at Mizuki.
“So it’s not targeting a siudent, but multiple students and/or instructors, or maybe something in the school, then?”
“Y-Yes… I could be wrong about this, of course…”
“No, I don’t think you’re wrong, Shibata-san.”
Mikihiko assured before tinuing.
“Ever sihis m, the spirits have been in an unnatural frenzy on campus. I bet that someone has evoked a shiki.”
“Shiki? Are you talking about those shikigami called Spiritual Beings?
Standing with his arms crossed beside him, Leo asked to crify his uanding and received a nod from Mikihiko.
“It seems to be a different spell than we use, so I ’t get a grasp on it. But there’s no question that some spell caster somewhere is sniffing around.”
“Mikihiko, did you just say it was a different spell than yours?”
Tatsuya rose from his seat all of a sudden. His voice, bringing a tinge of agitation.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Meaning that it’s a non-shinto spell? Or do you mean it’s a spell that’s different from this try’s A Magic?”
A brief silence fell around them, before Mikihiko finally answered with a heavy tone in his voice.
“I don’t think it’s part of our try’s A Magic.”
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
That afternoon, Yuuji, Aika, Erika, Tatsuya, and Miyuki headed home after their css together. They were also joined by Mizuki, Mikihiko, Leo, Honoka, and Shizuku.
“Yuuji-kun, I heard you’ve not only bee Hirakawa-senpai’s bodyguard, but also her assistant. Is that true?”
Honoka asked excitedly. But instead of Yuuji, Aika, who was standing to his right with Erika to his left, answered her.
“That’s right~! Not only Hirakawa-senpai, but he became an errand boy for the eeam~ Whehey’d need anything, they’d ask Yuuji to help them~”
“...I’m just helping them a bit. I’m not an errand boy!”
“Now now, just take it as a pliment. That means they trust in you and your ability to help them.”
Erika said with a wry smile.
“Speaking of assisting them, aren’t you helping them out with the models as well, Mizuki?”
“Eh? Uh, yes, the sed years are. I’m not actually doing anything.”
Mizuki answered shyly.
“Since Isori-senpai is the one in charge of the model, it’s only natural that the sed years would be the ones most involved with building it. But I’ve also heard Isori-senpai praising you, Mizuki. So have fiden yourself.”
Yuuji expined, causing Mizuki to blush and fidget her hands together shyly.
“e to think of it, I’ve also seen you w on something for them too, Tatsuya. What are you helping them with?”
“I’m helping them fiuhe spells for the demos.”
“Oh, I see.”
As they walked… Yuuji suddenly felt a presence following them and them.
Yuuji shot a g Aika, who quickly o him, signaling that she also noticed it. And soon, Erika, Mikihiko, and Leo also began notig the presence following them, while the rest chatted amongst themselves.
Yuuji then shot a gowards Tatsuya. Judging by his gaze, he seemed to have realized it as well, but he returned his gaze forward and tio chat with his little sister. And without the need for words, Yuuji uood what Tatsuya was thinking, and tinued ag as if nothing happened.
Aika and the others who noticed the presence also followed suit.
“Oh, do you want to stop off here for a bit?”
Yuuji suggested, arriving before a quaint little cafe in the neighborhood called Cafe Einebrise.
“Oh, I’m in!”
“Me too~ Fufufu~ It’ll be your treat, right~?”
Erika and Aika excimed iement.
“R-Really? T-Then, I-I would like to try the drinks here.”
“Uhn… I’m curious what kinds of desserts they have in this pce.”
“Hah… Fine.”
With Honoka and Shizuku beied by Aika’s proposition, he sighed i aered the cafe together with his friends. With the wealth he had accumuted from his daily trades, even buying the cafe and the entire building altogether won’t even put a dent to his wallet. But Aika was the oo suddenly spring this up at him, which made him a bit helpless. His girlfriend was truly a mischievous succubus.
Entering the cafe, the girls began drinks and desserts iement on Aika’s encement. She told them not to worry about the price or the amount, because Yuuji will pay for all of it and the boys will eat what they ’t finish.
“Oh, so you’re taking part in the Magic Thesis petition, huh? They’re hosting it in Yokohama this year, right? My parents live in Yokohama, you know? Are they holding it iernational ventioer again? If they are, that’s right by my parents’ house.”
After serving the drinks, the barmaster began versing with them while his assistant prepared the snacks and desserts.
“Where in Yokohama do they live?”
Mizuki asked courteously.
“About half the Yamate Hills. It’s a cafe called Roter Wald.”
At that moment, Yuuji’s eyes widened ever so slightly at the reition of the name.
Roter Wald… I think I’ve heard of it from somewhere…
He searched deep into his memories, into the Mahouka Koukou ousei anime he had watched… and finally, he recalled a se of two magic officers inside a cafe, meeting with Kyouko.
Aaaaah… that’s it. It’s the name of the cafe owned by an information broker that appeared in the a’s the cafe Erika’’s eldest brother and his partner came to a Kyouko-nee.
Just then, Erika rose from her seat, alerting Yuuji, Tatsuya, and Aika.
“Erika-?”
“I’ll be hitting the restroom for a bit.”
Yuuji gowards the two, who o him upoing his gaze, and rose from his seat as well.
“I’ll be going to the restroom for a bit too. Miyuki, you help me keep an eye on Aika? Don’t let her order even more food than we’ve had.”
“Y-Yes.”
“Geez~ You ’t be stingy like that you know, Yuuji~ Or you’ll be hated by girls~”
“Hah… I’ll be back.”
“‘Kay~!”
Yuuji headed out, not missing the figure of Mikihiko creating a talisman. He also met gnces with Leo, who was looking at him with a steeled gaze, telling him that he’ll be ready to help anytime.
Yuuji nodded subtly, and followed after Erika.
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
“Hey, Mister. Wanna have a good time with me?”
Erika said in a pyful manner into the suspiciously empty street. The afternoon sun, c everything in a deep e-red hue.
And soon, a mustached man in a trench coat came out of his hiding and fronted Erika.
“What are you talking about? You should look out for yourself more.”
“Huh~? All I said was “Have a good time”. But what oh did you think I meant by that?”
“You shouldn’t tease grownups. Night will be falling soon. If you hang aroued pce like this, who’s to say that you won’t get attacked by a street attacker?”
“Thank you for your , but it is unneeded, uncle.”
The mustached man widened his eyes in shod immediately turned around to his back, where he found a devastatingly beautiful man standing there casually with his hands in his pocket.
He… didn’t even feel his presenbsp;
“Perhaps, you are the one who should be wary of some street attackers. After all… You never know when the hunter will turn into the hunted.”
“...”
Erika took out her baton from inside her pocket, exte to its full length, and poi at the mustached man who was still payira attention towards Yuuji.
“You’ve been following us all along. What are you after?”
The man finally gnced back towards Erika, who unleashed her murderous iowards him as she spoke.
“Isn’t she amazing? To be able to unleash such thick killing i… I love this part of her as well.”
The man slowly turned his body sideways, keeping both Yuuji and Erika to his sides so he could keep eyes on them better. He could no longer focus his attention towards Yuuji alone.
Erika was in full alert and ready to attack him at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, although Yuuji was simply standing there casually with his hands in his pockets, his instincts told him that esg through him would be far more difficult than through the girl.
With no other choice, he let out a deep sigh… and yelled as loudly as his lungs permitted.
“HELP ME! I’M BEING ROBBED!!!”
“It’s no use, uncle. Right now, no one will be able to e near us.”
“That’s right. This is a barrier built on our sciousness, so unless you knock us unscious, you have no hope of esg.”
The man fell silent. When suddenly, he threw ay paper coffee cup towards Erika.
Erika easily swatted the paper cup away. But to her surprise, the man appeared before her faster than she expected.
He lunged and thrusted his hand, which was now holding a small bde, towards Erika’s head. But before it could reach her, a heavy weight suddenly fell upon his body, immensely slowing his movement.
It was only for a moment, but it was enough for Erika to avoid it and terattack with her own baton.
With the weight disappearing as quickly as it appeared, the man quickly tried to dodge her attack. But suddenly, her swing became extremely quick, quicker than he expected, f him to defend against it with his arm.
“ARGH!!!”
He yelled out in pain before retreating back with a leap, and threw both of the bdes in his hands towards Erika.
But before it could even reach her, his bdes suddenly stopped in mid air, before falling to the ground.
“What the…”
His eyes were now wide in shod disbelief. He gnced back towards Yuuji, saw him with his hand raised towards him, and finally realized what’s going on.
It seems like he’s using some sort of Weight-type and/or Movement-type magic that caused him to suddenly slow down and the girl to suddenly speed up.
And the final barrier seemed to be some sort of wind-type spell or barrier-type spell that caused his bdes to lose their kiiergy and fall.
Now he knew why he felt so much pressure from the handsome boy. To think he could cast so many spells in succession in that brief, high-speed exge…
He waved his arms strongly, causing another pair of bdes to slip down from his sleeves into his hands.
But before he could do anything, a powerful force suddenly stricted his body like a giant hand holding his body in pce, causing him to drop his bdes into the ground.
“W-What… did you… do…?”
“Calm down, uncle. We’re not ied in taking your life. All we want to know is why you were following us.”
With the mustached marained by his magic, Yuuji and Erika approached him cautiously, still ready for anything he had pnned.
“H-Hold up. Alright, I surrender. I’m not even an enemy of yours to begin with…”
Yuuji’s eyes narrowed as he tightened his hold around him, elig a pained groan.
“You brandished your bdes towards my girlfriend. It could’ve killed her if she wasn’t quiough to react.”
“...”
The man fell silent uhe pressure Yuuji’s exerting, while Erika also frow him. If it wasn’t for Yuuji’s quick rea that caused him to slow down immensely… she would’ve been caught by surprise and forced into being defensive, especially sihe man was using bded ons. She might even suffer from an injury or two.
“...Are you okay, Erika?”
“Mm. Thanks to you.”
Yuuji nodded in relief after seeing her smile. And only then did he stop exerting his pressure towards the man and slightly loosened his hold around him, just enough to not cause pain while still immobilizing him.
“Now. If you are not the enemy as you cim, then expin yourself.”
Released from the pressure, the ma out a deep sigh aed to Yuuji’s words.
“Fine…”
“Good. Now start introdug yourself. I’m sure you’re aware of our names already either way.”
“...My name is Jiro Marshall. I ’t go into specifics, but I’m not affiliated with any gover anization whatsoever. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I am not your enemy.”
“So you are an illegal, huh?”
Erika asked, and he answered with a nod.
“Tell us what you're after and the situation.”
“My job is to monitor the Magic High School students to ehat no cutting-edge magic teology falls into the hands of the East. If they do leak any advaeology that could amount to a military threat, then I deal with the situation.”
“The East… Meaning you’re from the west? Why would you go to all that trouble?”
Erika asked.
“I thought this try was cured of its pacifist pcy, but… In both USNA and the western nations, there’s been a spike in the number of Eastern spies going after magigineering teology. Your own school is also one of the East’s targets!”
““...””
Erika looked at him with immense apprehension, but if his words were true… then a much bigger trouble must be brewing in the shadows, waiting to explode onto the surfabsp;
“O thing… Let me give you a word of advice. Tell your friends to be vigint about their surroundings. That they shouldn’t let down their guard just because they’re on school grounds.”
While it sounded like regur advice to be vigint, Yuuji reized the hidden warning he was trying to vey with his words…
If he wasn’t mistaken… The “boss” of the fn invaders and main antagonist of this arc has a spell that would cause someoo lose their way and be lost in his spell.
If this is what Jiro was indeed referring to… then he’d appud the author’s ability to foreshadow such a thing.
“...I see. Thank you for your advice.”
“Then… Will you let me go, now?”
“Of course… but I also have o thing to say.”
“Hm? What is it?”
Jiro Marshall and Erika both turowards Yuuji, w what he wao say.
“You should also be careful to not lose your way. We won’t be chasing you, so you should be extra careful on your way back.”
“Eh? Yuuji?!”
His eyes widened in shock for a brief moment, but he quickly nodded.
“Alright.”
Yuuji nodded bad muttered under his breath to have Mikihiko erase the barrier. He then released Jiro Marshall from his restraint.
“Go ahead. o throw a smoke grenade. We won’t pursue you. You have my word.”
“...”
Jiro looked at the young man with narrowed eyes for a brief moment, and dropped a smoke bomb under his feet, which immediately filled the area with smoke.
“Hah… I’ve told him not to drop a smoke bomb, but he still does it…”
Yuuji quickly blows away all the smoke with some wind magic after he erected a wind barrier to protect himself and Erika.
“Why did you let him go, Yuuji? Did you trust him?”
Erika asked.
“irely, but I think there’s no harm in believing his words about the things reted with the East a. After all, we’ve been experieng some strange occurrences retly. This might be the cause of it all.”
“...”
Erika fell silent as uneasiness began to fill her heart. But then, she felt a soft, gentle haing her head in a familiar manner.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to us and our peaceful lives.”
“Mm. I’ll help too.”
“Of course. Now, you go back first to the cafe.”
“Eh? What are you going to do?”
“Saving a life.”
Yuuji said, before his form disappeared before Erika’s very eyes.
--------------------------------X--------------------------------
“I’ve been noticed by the surveilarget. Send in repts!”
A wave of dust and dirt unched up into the air as Jiro Marshall dashed through the quiet alleyways. The afternoon sun, now about to set and disappear into the horizon, tihe darkened alleyways in a dark, purplish hue.
His heart pumped rapidly as his vigind alertness were raised to the maximum. He had failed his mission… something he had not done since his younger days ao the job.
He tio run, but after a while, a realization came to his mind that caused him to e to a screeg halt and observe his surroundings.
“Where am I…?”
He did not recall ing through this alleyway… No, perhaps he did. Or perhaps, he had been running in circles… He didn’t know.
But just as he was his surroundings, heavy footsteps echoed through the narrow alleyway.
Then… a rge figure that filled his heart with disbelief, shock, and fear came out of the darkness.
“The maing tiger… Lu Gonghu…”
Jiro Marshall was a tall man with an athletic, muscur body. But before him, he was but a child.
Broad shoulders, muscur body, and tall, intimidating physique, his presence alone was enough to shake Jiro’s entire body in fear.
Is this… what he was talking about…
Yuuji’s warning fshed across his mind. And before he realized it, Lu Gonghu raised his hand towards him, about to rip him apart into pieces.
When suddenly, a man in bck jacket and pants appeared from behind Jiro a a heavy punch right into Lu Gonghu’s sor plexus.
The maing tiger widened his eyes in shock as a forparable to a car smming into him at high speeds densed into a size of a fist struck his body all of a sudden and pushed him several meters back before screeg into a halt.
Both men looked at the newer in all b shock, trying to dis his identity. But he had hidden his head with a hood and his face with a bck mask. His body, while muscur and tall, did not give away any indication of his identity.
“...Who are you?”
The man in bck didn’t answer, and seeing as he was silent, Lu Gonghu unched himself towards him for an attabsp;
The bck jacket man kicked away Jiro Marshal into safety before dodging the series of swings and punches from the maing tiger.
Despite his niame, the man fought like a trained martial artist instead of a wild beast. Though his style and the use of an open palm strike and scratch did resemble that of a tiger.
Lu Gonghu kept trying to hit the man in bck, but as if he was able to read his moves, he kept dodging it without any trouble.
And when he went on the offensive, each of his strikes felt like a hit from a car. Ead every single one of his punches and strikes were heavy, enough to push him, the maing tiger, babsp;
He was relentless, fast, uable, and powerful… He was no ordinary martial artist!
“RAAAAAAAARGH!!!”
With a bellowing roar, Lu Gonghu smmed down towards the man with both hands. And this time, instead of evading the easily dodgeable hit, the man defended against it.
The power behind the sm of Lu Gonghu, enhanced by magic, was enough to crack the asphalt grouh the man in bck upon hitting him.
Lu Gonghu looked down to the man before him. Surely he would suffer from some damage.
But to his shock, the man didn’t even flinot even a groan or a sound was heard.
And before he could recover from his shock, the man reeled in his arm, and punched him straight in the chest.
“Guuuuhkkhh!!!”
Air left his lungs as the force forcefully pushed it out of them. And after screeg into a half several meters away, the maing-tiger fell to his knees as wheeze and cough in pain.
Just from that single punch… he khat his body, that had been magically engineered and modified for more power and sturdiness, had sustained heavy injuries. His sternum was cracked and some of his ribs, broken. He was no longer in any dition to fight him…
g his teeth in frustration, Lu Gonghu used the st of his energy and smmed onto the ground, shattering it and ung a cloud of dust, asphalt, and sand up into the air and towards them.
And when the dust settled, the maing tiger was no lohere…
Hah… So he escaped. That’s a shame…
Yuuji, still his disguise that he had prepared and stored in his MCG specially for this event, let out a sigh as the dust slowly settled down.
He couldn’t use his usual magid gravity magic to restrain the maing-tiger. After all, everyone already knows that he used that kind of magic. If he used it here, then it would defeat the purpose of ing here with a disguise.
Yuuji didn’t want the fn invaders, the Great Asian Union, to know about him yet. Else, it might bring dao his girlfriends and friends.
Well, I mao test out my fighting style bined with gravity magi real bat, so that’s still a win.
Using his gravity magiake ead every strike of his extremely powerful, activating right at the moment of impa small bursts to prevent it from beied and tered; judging from the results, it seems to be a success given none of them noticed his little tribsp;
Speaking of which…
Yuuji turowards Jiro Marshal, now having picked himself up and stand before him, still looking at him with extreme viginbsp;
“...Who are you?”
Yuuji kept his silence, and began walking away.
He turhe er, and immediately used his invisibility spell once again and cealed his presenbsp;
When Jiro came to follow him, he was no longer visible to anyone and anything, leaving the man shocked and fused.
And as Yuuji was about to leave, he heard Jiro muttering under his breath.
“...Thank you for saving my life.”
He turowards the mustached man with a slight smile, and headed back to the cafe to his friends.
You’re wele.
