Therefore, they inevitably fell into a delicate situation of lacking technicians, which gave the student council and club alliance a headache.

But at that moment, Watanabe Mari suddenly recalled what Yotsuba Mahiro had said a few months earlier when he was adjusting the CAD.

He said he learned all his skills from his landlord, and that he hadn't studied for very long, but his debugging abilities were outstanding.

Who is Yotsuba Mahiro's landlord?

It was naturally the Shiba siblings, and Mayumi remembered it very clearly.

Therefore, Shiba Tatsu was also invited to join the team of magic craftsmen, but after joining, he suggested that Yotsuba Mahiro join as well.

They claimed that Yotsuba Mahiro's skills were in no way inferior to his, and used that as a reason to drag him into the mess.

So, Mayumi, as the representative, staked out the library, and then this scene unfolded.

That's how it is.

Mayumi Nanagusa curled a strand of hair from her temple and began to play with it with her fingertips.

Despite her seemingly calm demeanor, she actually felt a little guilty inside.

Although she knew from the beginning that Mahiro was very good at adjusting CAD, and that this task should not have fallen on Mahiro Yotsuba's shoulders.

After all, being a contestant is already very busy.

But no way.

The team is currently short-staffed and is even more reluctant to let go of a skilled craftsman who is praised by both Azusa and Tatsuya.

This was a last resort, a desperate measure to try anything.

"So, Shinhime-kun, can you come and help me?"

Mayumi put on a pitiful expression, and even he, who was immune to her beauty, was somewhat moved at this moment.

He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll take it on, but my energy is limited, and I can only be responsible for the CAD debugging of three people."

"Furthermore, when debugging CAD, the trust between the magician and the magician is very important. They must cooperate wholeheartedly without any resistance. Therefore, I must personally select these three people. Is that alright?"

This wasn't him making excuses; he genuinely had limited energy, and debugging CAD was indeed a very troublesome task.

Because of the combined strength of the nine schools, the Magic Engineers are responsible for more than just CAD; they also decide on the training and combat methods of the athletes.

As for his personal selection, aside from the fact that he was ostracized by the students of the same department.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to debug CAD for men, so he wants to make things clear beforehand to avoid trouble later.

Mayumi readily agreed.

"Hmm~ Of course, no problem."

However!

Even though you're sitting side-by-side with a beautiful girl like me, you, Masahiro, show absolutely no intention of attacking me.

Mayumi suddenly changed the subject, revealing a wronged expression and speaking in a rather exaggerated tone, while her graceful body swayed slightly.

"I'm so sorry! My baby-sized body is no match for Mibu-senpai."

Yotsuba Mahiro: "???"

He stared blankly at the senior student who was crossing her arms and twisting her body.

During the process, their bodies inevitably came into contact and rubbed against each other.

This sudden turn of events almost strained his back.

A toddler's size? That doesn't look like it at all!

Mayumi is indeed a bit short, not even 1.6 meters tall, but she is definitely not a child's figure. On the contrary, she has a slender and mature perfect figure.

However, seeing his senior's expression, Yotsuba Mahiro's lips suddenly curled up, and he reached out and put his hand on Mayumi's shoulder.

They completely immobilized her constantly writhing body.

He met those wine-red eyes.

"Does the president expect me to do something to you?"

As he asked the question, he slowly approached the other person, and the distance between them grew closer and closer until they could clearly feel each other's breath and the radiance of their body temperature.

"Isn't that right? A beautiful kendo girl like Mibu-senpai is more in line with your aesthetic, Masahiro-kun!"

Mayumi seemed completely oblivious to his approach, and even puffed out one cheek slightly in a huff.

“Even though I’m such a beautiful girl sitting here, you, Shinsuke, are completely unmoved.”

Although he didn't know why things had turned out this way, at this moment he seemed to understand.

Mayumi seems to be jealous?

Is it because I've been spending a lot of time with Sayaka lately and haven't been interacting with her much?

He didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop him from having the idea to tease her. He put his hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear:

"The reason is simple: I'm not an exhibitionist, and I would never lay a hand on a woman in front of a surveillance camera; that would go to jail."

"what……?"

Mayumi was stunned when she heard this. She turned her head and saw the surveillance camera behind her. Then she became restless and her eyes darted around.

"Um... well, what if there are no surveillance cameras or other people watching? Let me think... for example, what if it's just the two of us booking a hotel room?"

"That's quite a bold proposal. I never expected my senior to have such an idea... But when the meat is offered to you, why not take a bite?"

I will definitely enjoy her without hesitation, and devour her completely.

"Eh...Ehhhhh"

With a clicking sound, Mayumi, her face flushed, leaned against the wall, looking pitiful and ready to be picked.

Keep as far away from Masami as possible in the confined space.

But Mahiro had no intention of letting this little devil senior get away with it so easily, and went straight for her.

While blocking Mayumi's escape route, he spoke under her astonished gaze:

"like this."

Immediately afterwards, Mayumi felt a sudden dizziness.

His hot breath brushed against her face, and she felt a strange touch on her soft, cherry-like lips.

Mahiro was savoring the mellow wine, tasting a hint of sweetness and a subtle minty fragrance.

At that moment, Mayumi felt her brain explode.

unbelievable.

She just wanted to tease this cute junior.

Unexpectedly, he was so bold!

He forcibly kissed me!!!

My first kiss, gone just like that?

Her fair and rosy face was now so red it looked as if it were about to bleed.

“Wuwuwuwuwu——!!!”

After a long while, Mayumi finally came to her senses and, with a burst of strength from who knows where, pushed him away.

"Zhen... Zhenxun, junior, how could you... how could you do this..."

He can't even speak properly anymore.

"Isn't this what the senior was hoping for?"

"Ugh... Mahiro-kun is already Mibu-senpai... and this was my first kiss... Didn't you say you wouldn't lay a hand on a woman in front of the security cameras?!"

She felt as if she had been utterly deceived!

Despite her bold jokes with Yotsuba Mahiro just now, she's actually incredibly innocent.

Just like those online veterans who are silly netizens who are like Chu Lan in real life.

However, Zhenxun remained silent, only smiling.

In fact, he had already hacked the surveillance system with magic when he entered the private reading room.

It's not about having anything more than friendship with this senior student here.

It's simply because I have absolutely no liking for surveillance equipment.

It always reminds him of the awful days he spent in the Fourth Research Institute.

As for his first kiss, it was the same for him.

That was his first kiss of the day.

Chapter 35 Mayumi's Troubles

Yotsuba Mahiro successfully joined the Magic Craftsman team.

Although not many people welcomed him, this was something that had been expected.

The three women he chose were Mayumi Nanagusa, Mari Watanabe, and □ Kitayama.

It was somewhat unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.

After all, he didn't know many people among those participating in the Nine Schools Battle, let alone those who didn't dislike him.

Those are extremely few and far between.

However, Watanabe Mari was still quite curious as to why she and Mayumi were chosen.

After all, among the first-year students, Honoka Mitsui and Miyuki Shiba were also on good terms with him.

The reason is, of course, easy.

Kitayama's magical ability is characterized by its proficiency in vibration-based magic. He had personally handled Mayumi's CAD, and Watanabe Mari was just an afterthought.

Any one of these three is much easier than Honoka's light-based abilities and Miyuki's specially tuned CAD.

As for Mayumi, she still had a blushing face, her gaze was somewhat unfocused, and she dared not meet his eyes.

'That despicable Shinhime-kun, he's really too audacious!'

Mayumi was still pouting her cute cheeks, like a pufferfish, but when she recalled what happened in the reading room, she couldn't help but blush.

.......

.....

...

After a brief rally, the nine-school battle finally began on August 1st, the day summer vacation started.

Although the first match is on August 3rd, the players arrive at their dormitories at this time every year for final adjustments and training.

Meanwhile, the No. 1 High School bus had been waiting in the parking lot for quite some time.

Even though the departure time had already passed, it was all because he was waiting for someone—

"Sorry!"

The words came from not far away, accompanied by the light, clattering sound of sandals.

Mori, who had taken shelter under a parasol, Shiba Tatsuya, who was in charge of the list, and Yotsuba Mahiro, who had come out for some fresh air and was sitting on the steps at the bus door, all looked up toward the source of the sound.

But the three people had different expressions.

Yotsuba Mahiro remained as calm as ever.

Watanabe Mari sighed helplessly and smiled.

Shiba Tatsuya silently ticked a box on the personnel list on the terminal device, and then said:

"Watanabe-senpai, everyone's here now, so I'll head back to the technician team's bus."

"Well, please."

After Watanabe Mari took the terminal, Shiba Tatsuya turned around and walked towards the construction bus behind.

"Sigh, Tatsuya is really dedicated. He's been in the sun for so long in this heat, even though he was just sitting in the car waiting..." Mahiro said wistfully, watching the departing figure.
