"Mahiro-nii is as popular as ever."

Upon seeing this, Miyuki covered her mouth and chuckled softly, though the emotions swirling in the depths of her eyes were rather intriguing.

"Erica-chan...it's probably better if we don't argue. After all, she's still my senior, and the head of the disciplinary committee..."

Mizuki raised her hand somewhat flusteredly, joining in to persuade Erica.

Erica, however, scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, so what?"

In Erika's eyes, Watanabe Mari was not her senior, but a disciple of the Chiba Dojo.

According to seniority and rank, Watanabe Mari was considerably lower than her.

“It’s alright, Shibata-senpai, I won’t take it to heart,” Watanabe Mari said.

"Um... I think we should get down to business now, right?"

"That's right, after all, it's rare for us to sit together, and we're all here for Yotsuba's sake."

Honoka suggested, and Kitayama echoed her suggestion.

Hearing them say that, Erica, who was about to say something, swallowed her words.

Although she disliked Watanabe Mari, they were right; the reason she was sitting here was to find out what Yotsuba Mahiro had been up to over the past month.

So the home ground was handed back to Masahiro.

The others also turned their attention to him.

"It's my turn so soon?"

Mahiro felt the expectant gazes around him, so he put down his cup and smiled slightly, "Since everyone wants to know, then I'll tell you."

"Actually, to you it was only a month since I left, but for me it felt like two and a half years..."

He quietly recounted his experiences while immersing himself in the aroma of coffee.

This is the third time Mahiro has mentioned the other world.

This includes information about the Cursed Child, Gastrea, and Gastrea, as well as numerous encounters and the final outcome.

The expressions of the people who heard this were quite different.

From initial surprise and shock, to the subsequent calm and silence, it has finally evolved into the current complexity.

"...So, Yotsuba-kun destroyed the world for the sake of those children?"

"um, yes."

When asked by Mizuki, he nodded affirmatively, without any intention of hiding anything; in fact, hiding anything would have been pointless.

Even after receiving a positive answer, Mizuki couldn't feel any sense of reality.

"...It sounds like the other world is very dangerous..."

"It feels like a fairy tale from a book."

Kitayama remained calm as always, while Honoka looked at him with a worried expression.

As for the others, they mostly remained silent. Like Mizuki, they didn't feel any sense of reality after listening.

It's like making up a story.

But Mayumi was certain that it was true.

Because the medicine that Mahiro injected her with did indeed have those effects, and she was certain that it was something that this world could not possibly produce.

Erica, however, was looking at him with a playful expression, teasingly saying:

"If that's the case, then Yotsuba-kun, you've brought all the girls you've met back here, right? Xiangxiang~ You'd better try harder, or your Mahiro might get stolen away."

"Erica!"

Sayaka blushed and said coquettishly to Erica.

"Yeah, I agree with that too. Mayumi, you should do your best too." As her best friend, Mori nudged Mayumi lightly with her elbow, teasing her in return.

"Ugh... heartless playboy."

Mayumi also realized what was happening and looked at Mahiro with a hint of resentment.

However, despite this, she was actually quite content, at least Mahiro's feelings for her hadn't changed.

Moreover, she also knew that with the abilities that Makoto had demonstrated, he would definitely have no shortage of either a wife or a lover in the future.

Even without this trip to another world, countless families in this world would offer their eligible daughters to Mahiro.

It's all just to obtain that superior gene and continue the family line.

Many families were already interested in it, but Masahiro happened to be missing at the time.

"By the way, the potion you gave to Miyuki was also brought back from another world, right?"

It was Tatsuya who spoke up at this moment. As always, he held his icy face and calmly asked, "There are parts inside that cannot be analyzed by modern technology. It should be a complex extracted from the genes of countless animals, right?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on him again.

"What potion?"

Honoka blinked, puzzled.

Mahiro explained, "This is it."

With a flick of his wrist, several metal syringes appeared in his hand, which he placed on the table and pushed in front of each of them.

"These are gifts I brought back for you. They can enhance your aptitude as magicians, as well as your physique and recovery ability."

"what!"

When she first heard it was a souvenir, Honoka was happy to pick it up and look at it, ready to accept it. But when she heard that it could enhance a magician's aptitude, she almost dropped it.

Fortunately, she caught it in time, holding it up with both hands to keep it steady.

They even carefully placed it back on the table.

"Is it that precious?!" Morley's mouth gaped open, completely stunned.

"Yotsuba-kun... this is far too precious, I can't accept it."

It was Mizuki who spoke, and she had the same reaction as Honoka.

Even Kitayama, the daughter of a chaebol, shared the same opinion.

The reason why magicians are so rare is precisely because of their innate talent, which is predetermined at birth and cannot be improved.

Countless people will likely flock to it, even willing to pay any price.

“Shinhime, this is indeed too precious... It would be too wasteful for someone like me with poor magical talent to use it. It would be better to give it to Miyuki and Nanakusa-senpai to use.”

When Sayaka heard the others say that, she quickly put the syringe back on the table and pushed it toward him.

But then, Mahiro pushed the medicine back.

"You don't need to do this."

He chuckled and said, "It may be precious to the world, but I actually have a lot of these injections left, and I've already given them to Miyuki and Mayumi, so I can't give any more."

With a casual flick of his wrist, dozens of vials of medicine clattered and fell onto the table as if they were free.

These were not made by Sumire Muroto, but rather replicated by him using his abilities and alchemy.

The effect is exactly the same as the original.

But then again.

Although the AGV drug can enhance the body, it is still a virus at its core. After one injection, subsequent injections will not add attributes, but rather the probability of Gastrea transformation.

"Hey, since you've put it that way, I'll accept it."

Compared to the others' reluctance, Erica was more decisive and immediately picked up the potion and put it away.

"Of course, no problem, but remember to inject it in front of me when you use it."

"Could there be danger?" Erica asked warily.

"Yes, there is a certain chance of failure, but the success rate is over 98%."

"That's not bad at all. I'll use it first~"

Erica picked up the potion and played with it in her hand for a moment, then rolled up her sleeve and stabbed it into her arm.

Mizuki wanted to stop her, but she didn't have time.

"hiss--"

Erica gasped as she felt the cool medicine enter her body through her blood vessels.

But it seems that's all there is to it?

The moment that thought crossed her mind, a sharp, tearing sensation shot through her entire body from her heart!

"Woo——"

It couldn't help but let out a soft, mournful cry.

pain! It hurts so much!

It's like the pain of growing bones as a child, but magnified dozens of times!

"...Erica-chan, are you alright?" Mizuki asked with concern.

"It's alright, of course it's alright..."

The pain has subsided, and what remains in my body is lingering ache, accompanied by throbbing pain in my nerves, but this time there is a slight feeling of comfort.

"I think you should try it too, Mizuki."

"Eh?"

Erica reacted quickly, snatching the syringe before Mizuki could react and inserting it directly into the back of her hand.

"Ouch!!! That hurts, Erica-chan!"

Mizuki burst into tears from the pain.

Clutching the back of her hand where the needle had been inserted, she trembled slightly, biting her lower lip to endure the excruciating pain emanating from her body.

"Erika, you've gone a bit too far. This isn't something to joke around with."

Shenxue gently reproached.

She knew all too well how painful it was; she even cried from the pain herself.

"Hey~"

Erica switched to her feigned ignorance mode, whistling as she muttered, "I just think Mizuki really needs this medicine; maybe it can even heal her eyes."

At the very least, she now feels completely refreshed, and even some minor injuries sustained during her cultivation have been healed.

There is absolutely no trace of personal morbid humor involved.

Absolutely not!

However, just like the herd mentality.

With the first and the second, there will naturally be a third.

Morley then picked up the syringe and aimed it at his arm.

"Mori... are you getting an injection too? It'll hurt a lot," Mayumi reminded him with some concern.

"It's okay. Since the younger girls are so brave, why can't I be?"

So Morley also injected the medicine.

Even Honoka, who is most afraid of pain, mustered up her courage under Kitayama's guidance and underwent the injection with her best friend.

In an instant, the shouts of the girls in the café rose and fell.

It's like a symphony.
