It's like the conflict between students taking one subject and students taking two subjects.

"So, what do you plan to do using this news?"

He looked up at Katsutoshi Jumonji.

However, Katsuto Jumon crossed his arms, his solemn, square face furrowed in thought for a moment, and then spoke:

“I intend to propose at the Ten Divisions Conference that we use this as a basis to protest against the USNA.”

"Is that so? Then I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help. After all, matters on the main family's side are decided by Yotsuba Maya, and I have no say in it."

He once again passed the buck to Yotsuba Maya.

After all, he wasn't interested in things like that at all, or rather, he didn't care about the world.

So, under the watchful eyes of the three, he was the first to leave.

And this "vampire incident" can be considered to have come to a temporary close.

However, it was still criticized by a small group once again.

"Ugh, how boring. I finally encountered something interesting, and you solved it all yourself." — Erica

"Why doesn't Mahiro rely on us? We're friends, aren't we? Even if we're not the strongest, we can still help with whatever we can." — Mizuki

"This time it really was Mahiro's fault, Miyuki was very worried too." — Miyuki

"Me too!" by Honoka —

"Shinhime, if you keep doing this, I'll really get angry." —Sayaka

Several people looked at him with resentment, and even Kitayama Shizuku, who was on the other side of the ocean, nodded in agreement.

But what can be done?

He still doesn't know how that monster manages to [drink blood] and [possess] others, so how could he possibly let you all easily find yourselves in danger? (Shrugs helplessly)

anyway.

As the saying goes, one drop of genitalia is worth ten drops of blood. If it's a vampire, wouldn't they extract genitalia even faster?

-------------------------------------

The next day.

He saw that familiar figure again at school, the one who hadn't been to school for so long.

"Hey, Lina, good morning."

Shinji stepped forward and greeted him.

Even though it was just a simple greeting, some distracted girls turned around and saw it was him. They reacted as if they had seen a plague god, and immediately turned around and ran away.

"No, why are you running away when you see me?"

"Let me go, you bastard! Where did I run off to! I just didn't want to see you!"

Using an acceleration spell, Makoto stepped forward and grabbed her arm. Lina was stunned for a moment when she saw that there was no CAD casting, and then she started to struggle.

The force with which it struggled was harder to catch than a pig during the Lunar New Year.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by saying you don't want to see me? We used to be teammates fighting side by side."

"Who would fight alongside you, you bastard! If it weren't for you, I would never have almost been disciplined, damn it!"

Perhaps the pressure that had been building up over the past two days finally exploded, and she looked up at him with an unhappy expression.

"Anyway, you only came to me for that one thing, right? Since you're so eager to do it, then do whatever you want!"

Yes, it seems the pressure has really piled up, and he has completely given up on himself.

So Mahiro released her, sighing softly, "What do you take me for? A walking cannon?"

“Isn’t it?!”

Seeing that he had no intention of running away, Lina put her hands on her hips and pressed him for answers.

How long has it been since she enrolled in school and her identity was exposed? Even she herself doesn't know how many times she's done this.

He's practically turning into this bastard!

Mahiro couldn't really refute that, since it was indeed a bit too much of a leniency.

"Okay, okay, even if you're right, I have no intention of doing anything to you this time."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I'm just a little curious. Haven't you already completed your mission? Why are you still staying at No. 1 High School? Aren't you planning to go back to China?"

"...Do you really want me to leave?"

Lina asked, her expression subtly odd as she looked at him.

Seeing his enigmatic smile, she sighed softly and said, "The matter is over, but the exchange period isn't. My superiors require me to 'operate as usual.'"

Lina no longer hid anything from him, or rather, hiding anything was no longer meaningful.

This matter began with yesterday's interrogation meeting.

Yesterday, she was severely criticized by those high-ranking officials, who even demanded that she take off her clothes on the spot to check for vampire bite marks to determine if she was infected.

What do you take her for?

A stripper?!

Finally, Colonel Vaginia Barans, who arrived unexpectedly, came to her rescue.

The order to continue attending school was also issued by Colonel Barance.

"These guys are really going too far," Mahiro said, without any emotion.

"There's nothing we can do about it. With the mission failed, I'm a sinner in their eyes. Who would treat a mere sinner kindly? It's inevitable that they'd kick me when I'm down."

Lina opened the corridor window and leaned against it, letting the breeze tousle her long hair.

Her delicate profile, which was revealed, also looked a bit more melancholy.

"...Feel sorry."

Lina suddenly spoke up, "I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now. From your perspective, we're enemies, and besides, you were originally my target..."

Although there was a hint of resentment on her face when she said those words.

But these were indeed her true feelings.

"Hehe, I don't care about these things at all."

Shinji squeezed closer to her, and Lina glared at him slightly before moving to make room for him.

"Speaking of which, I do have a question I'd like to ask you."

"What question? Let me make this clear beforehand: I cannot answer any questions about USNA's internal affairs."

"Who wants to know about that kind of damn thing? I'm not interested."

Mahiro made a sarcastic remark, then his expression returned to calm as he looked at her with a slightly serious expression.

“Hey, Miss Angelina, would you like to leave USNA and stay? If you’re willing, our Yotsuba family will take care of everything for you.”

Lina heard the most shocking and unforgettable words of her life.

You must be joking!

She wanted to say that.

But when she met those clear, black pearl-like eyes, she realized that Yotsuba Mahiro was serious!

Chapter 106 Valentine's Day, or a Valentine's Day Tragedy? (6.3K)

The topic came up too suddenly.

Lina was momentarily stunned, but after a moment's hesitation, she naturally refused.

Even though she was grateful that Mahiro said that, and even though this was the first time she had heard Mahiro say something that showed he cared about her since they started dating, she was still grateful.

Yotsuba Mahiro didn't force the issue.

And as agreed, he did not do anything to Lina.

Their relationship gradually changed from being incredibly romantic to just a calm and peaceful classmate relationship.

He went to and from school with his old gang every day, chatting and laughing, and playing around.

It was as if Lina had truly become an ordinary high school student, no longer the fearsome strategic-level magician known as "Sirius".

Even though Erika would occasionally bring this up to make fun of it, both openly and subtly.

But every time, Lina complained about Erica, it wasn't about him.

There was nothing he could do; he had leaked Lina's information to everyone early on.

The days passed like this.

Soon, a particularly important and special day will arrive for the boys and girls—

Valentine's Day....

This word was far too unfamiliar and distant to Yotsuba Mahiro.

Needless to say, there's no experience with this in this life, let alone in past lives.

What exactly should we do?

"Shuibo, what do you think we should do for Valentine's Day?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing his question, Shuibo, who was cleaning in the living room, suddenly stopped what she was doing and blinked her amber eyes.

Seemingly confused, or perhaps pondering, he guessed:

"Isn't it supposed to be chocolates? That's what everyone's saying."

Well, it seems that Shuibo, like him, only knows about Valentine's Day by giving chocolates and flowers.

"Is there anything you want from Shuibo?"

"Me, me?"

The girl was somewhat frightened.

She originally wanted to refuse, since she had already obtained the body-strengthening potion from Makoto, but seeing his direct gaze, she couldn't help but swallow her words.

"Excuse me for being rude! As long as it's a gift from Young Master Zhenxun, no matter what it is, Shuibo will like it!"

A beautiful blush spread across Shuibo's face, and she spoke in a slightly off-key voice, which could even be described as a wail.

After saying that, she quickly walked away and disappeared from his sight, continuing to clean the house.

Well, it seems that the water ripple approach is not viable.

However, he did want to give Mizuha something. After all, she had taken care of him at home for so long, and even if he didn't have any romantic feelings for her at the moment, Mahiro still considered the girl as family.

But what exactly to send is something he has to figure out for himself.

-------------------------------------

"...Izumi, let me ask you something, what do you think your older sister is doing?"

"I think... they must be making chocolate."

"Is that really the case? Why do I feel like my sister is making poison to kill someone?"

Nanakusa family.

The two sisters, Kasumi and Izumi, peeked into the kitchen and whispered to each other.

"It shouldn't be... right? My sister said it was a gift for Mahiro-nii-nii..."

"But, isn't that a bit wrong?"

Ahead of them, Mayumi was happily heating chocolate in a double boiler.

Although it was a pleasant occasion, that smile was definitely not the kind of smile a girl in love would show on the eve of Valentine's Day.

That smile looked more like an old witch stirring a pot of witch's soup in a fairy tale, not to mention the thick, dark chocolate in the pot, which made it even more like that.
