Shirou's clones number 30 million

"I'll go shopping after I finish eating. The location of the shopping street shouldn't have changed, right?"

"No, but there are new stores now compared to eight years ago. Mom will go with you later."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"You're being too much, using honorifics to address your mother again."

This little old lady is such a hassle!

Masamune Makabe remained silent and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"I've been sitting in the car for several hours and I'm a little thirsty. Is there anything to drink in the refrigerator?"

"You must be tired after a long day. Sit down on the sofa and rest. Mom will get it for you."

"I'm not a primary school student anymore, I should do this kind of thing myself."

Behind the two, Hayase Chinatsu curiously looked at the corner of the notebook peeking out of Makabe Masamune's pocket, subconsciously reached out and pinched it, gently pulling it out.

Then, he sat on the sofa and opened his laptop to read.

"On June 21, 2011, at 9:57 a.m., a boy in my class asked me for money, but I didn't lend it to him. Afterwards, I happened to hear him calling me a stingy person in the bathroom."

"(The word 'parentheses' was not pronounced) I took the opportunity to record the conversation, and then played the recording in front of the whole class during the class meeting. I also openly and honestly scolded him, and my revenge was successful."

As she read this, Hayase Chinatsu suddenly noticed a dark figure in front of her.

Looking up, as expected, it was his own older brother.

"Brother, I don't know what to say to you anymore. Who would do such a thing? Isn't it normal to be talked about behind your back?"

"It may be normal, but being as petty as I am, I have always maintained a zero-tolerance attitude towards this kind of thing."

"That's right! My brother is so petty. Generally speaking, even if he heard it, he would pretend not to care, right?"

"No! I hate compromising. If someone targets me, even if they just insult me, I will retaliate in kind."

"So stingy, so incredibly stingy!"

As she spoke, Hayase Chinatsu looked down again.

"On June 25, 2011, it rained all day. On my way home from school, I was splashed with water by a passing car."

"(I took a picture of the license plate number on the spot and searched for two weeks before I finally found the car.)"

"After identifying the driver that day, we deliberately ambushed him outside his house and splashed him with mud when he went out in the morning, successfully avenging ourselves."

After reading it, Hayase Chinatsu suddenly looked up and stared at Makabe Masamune with a look of astonishment.

"Brother, you really spent two weeks searching? That's such a low cost-performance ratio!"

"That's true, but I feel great."

"Being this petty is downright abnormal."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Isn't my brother even a little bit ashamed? I was clearly reading your diary."

"This is not a diary, it's a revenge notebook."

"There's no difference. What I'm trying to say is, doesn't your brother feel embarrassed at all?"

"No."

Masamune Makabe replied without hesitation:

“These are things I have done before, and even if I had to do them a thousand times over, I would still do them. I don’t think there’s anything to hide.”

“…You’re so frank, it makes me a little embarrassed.” Hayase Chinatsu paused for a moment, then said with a smile, “Brother, you’re still the same as when you were little, a total idiot.”

"If you weren't my sister, you absolutely must remember this."

"That's too stingy! Being so petty will shorten your lifespan."

Masamune Makabe didn't reply, but instead extended his hand and said:

"Give me back my notebook, it's my most important thing."

"Did my brother successfully avenge everything recorded above?"

"There's one more that's missing."

Where?

"This is none of your business. Give me back my notes."

The one who has not yet taken revenge is on page thirteen.

When I was a child, I was nicknamed "pig's feet" and was ridiculed a lot.

The most crucial point is that at that time, he had already been ostracized by all his classmates, and he was powerless to retaliate in the same way.

Thus, the then young Masamune Makabe devised a long-term revenge plan.

After retrieving the notebook, Masamune Makabe asked again:

"By the way, I'm planning to go swimming in the Seto Sea next weekend. Do you want to come with me?"

"Why go so far? It's not exactly a resort destination." Hayase Chinatsu looked puzzled.

"I'm going to repay a debt of gratitude. Actually, when I was in first grade, I went swimming in the Seto Inland Sea and almost drowned. A girl my age saved my life."

"Is this just a dream, brother?"

"No, this is an undeniable fact."

"I thought my brother only held grudges, but I didn't expect him to remember kindness as well."

"Of course, I, Makabe Masamune, have always been the kind of person who repays kindness tenfold and avenges wrongs in full."

Hayase Chinatsu couldn't help but laugh for a while, then, after a long pause, she composed herself and asked seriously:

"Honestly, why did my brother suddenly come back? Is there some special reason?"

"As for the reason, I suppose I have one: my cultivation has been successfully completed, and I can now go and complete the revenge I took eight years ago."

"Huh...? So the reason my brother has been staying with Grandpa for the past eight years was all to prepare for revenge?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

"Ugh... How scary and disgusting! My brother wouldn't do anything criminal, would he?"

"Of course not, it just makes the target have nightmares for three consecutive days."

"How is that even possible? You can't possibly control what other people dream about, can you?"

"No, it is possible. This is the result of my cultivation."

"Seriously?"

"of course."

"I don't believe it unless you let me have a dream too, but I don't want nightmares."

"As you wish."

In a daze, Hayase Chinatsu seemed to have arrived in paradise, where all the surrounding buildings were desserts.

Cake houses, candy streetlights, chocolate floors...

The incredibly realistic scene made her unconsciously want to taste it.

Just then, Hayase Kyūe's voice suddenly came from afar.

"Come and eat, you two."

The next moment, Hayase Chinatsu suddenly woke up, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, she excitedly said:

"Is this the result of my brother's training? Amazing! He's practically an Onmyoji. I never imagined that legends about Onmyoji were actually true."

Chapter 434 A Belated Revenge

Chapter 434 A Belated Revenge (Section 435)

A few days later, Masamune Makabe successfully entered the private Yasaka High School.

Thanks to eight years of good study habits and the knowledge boost from many Shirous, he achieved a perfect score in all subjects on the entrance exam for the first time ever.

Although I desperately wanted to rush over and take revenge, the target was always with other people, making it impossible to find an opportunity to be alone with him.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

"Makabe-kun, did you bring a bento? I bought some bread."

The speaker was Juri Kojuro, a very timid boy who resembled a sickly, beautiful girl.

Sitting in the seat next to me, he spent the whole morning introducing the school and class to Masamune Makabe.

At that moment, he was holding bread in both hands, seemingly intending to share it with Masamune Makabe.

"I brought it."

As they spoke, Masamune Makabe reached into his desk drawer, pretending to pull out an oversized lunchbox from his bag. In reality, he retrieved it from the White Mist Dimension.

The lunchbox was large, and it was filled with high-fat foods.

Before his cheat ability awakened, this was equivalent to a huge dose of poison for Masamune Makabe.

However, it doesn't matter now, or rather, this amount is just right.

"It's huge! It's almost too big to fit inside the desk, and it doesn't look like it could fit in a backpack at all. How did it even get in there?"

As he spoke, Akari Kojuro couldn't help but glance at Makabe Masamune's desk drawer.

"Well... I'm actually a magician."

Masamune Makabe smiled and asked:

"Want to eat together?"

"I can barely finish one loaf of bread, and I was thinking of sharing one with you, but I didn't expect you to have brought a bento box."

"You eat too little. Speaking of which, it's not really a good idea to eat lunch in the classroom. Do you have any recommendations for a better place?"

Bread or cold food is fine, but Masamune Makabe's super-sized bento box is full of high-fat foods, and the temperature is kept quite high.
