Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

Smelling the fragrance of Sayaka's shower gel and feeling the softness of her body in his arms, Yotsuba Mahiro couldn't help but squint his eyes contentedly and let out a long sigh.

He also noticed that Sayaka was very nervous.

She was trying to calm her tension with slow breathing, and her body gradually softened, finally nestled into his broad embrace.

Hearing that contented sigh, her mood immediately improved.

This change she brought about made her feel a mix of emotions, whether happy or relieved. In any case, thanks to this feeling, her tension eased slightly.

She listened intently to the pounding of his heart from his broad chest.

Like Yotsuba Mahiro, she had never been so close to a boy before.

Perhaps only her father had ever held her like this, but Yotsuba Mahiro's embrace was different, even more so than the one she had received in the infirmary last time.

It reassured her while also giving her a strange flutter in her heart.

Until the owner of the embrace suddenly spoke.

"Sayaka, aren't you trying to seduce me? Aren't you worried I'll take advantage of you?"

Although it was just a simple joke, it made Sayaka's body suddenly stiffen.

She did not answer immediately.

She remained silent, strangely blushing, her slender fingers constantly stroking the hem of her yukata.

There was a long silence, so long that even her hair seemed to have dried naturally, before she finally replied softly—

"If it's really about finding you, then... it's okay to bully you."

Such a simple sentence, spoken in such a shy tone, is enough to ignite humanity's most primal madness.

Yotsuba Mahiro is a perfect example.

When he came to his senses, it was already past midnight.

The image of Sayaka's flushed face and her gently biting her teeth still echoed in my mind.

At that moment, the girl was fast asleep in his arms, her head resting on his arm.

His nostrils twitched slightly.

Her long, flowing hair, as soft as willow branches, flowed quietly like an inky stream, looking beautiful and captivating.

The bedside lamp wasn't very bright, but it emitted a soft glow.

The orange light shone on her, creating a shallow valley that made her skin appear as smooth and lustrous as jade.

Her shoulders were slightly hunched, as if she were afraid of the cold.

The blush spreading across her pretty face made her as beautiful as a newly opened peony glistening with morning dew.

"Well....."

At that moment, accompanied by a soft moan, Mahiro suddenly felt the girl in his arms stir. Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and her hazy gaze met his.

"Sorry, did I disturb you?"

"Hmm...no, aren't you going to sleep yet, Shin-kun?"

After a long silence, Sayaka finally responded softly.

She seemed a little dehydrated; her voice was somewhat dry and muffled.

I'm not sleepy.

"I see... Actually, I'm the same way."

After a short rest, although my body was still very tired, my mind was unusually clear.

Her body involuntarily curled up, as if seeking a warm place, gently arching her back and resting her head against his chest, listening to his strong, pounding heartbeat.

Mahiro naturally noticed Sayaka's little gesture, and he gently raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, feeling the smooth, creamy texture on his fingertips.

"Since neither of us wants to sleep, how about we have a chat?"

"...Okay, sure."

Sayaka nodded slightly.

However, although I wanted to chat, I couldn't think of any good topics for the moment.

The two remained silent in the darkness.

After a moment, Yotsuba Mahiro spoke first.

"Speaking of which... don't you regret it?"

The sudden question caused Sayaka's delicate body to tremble slightly.

It was an unexpected tension, but the tense body quickly relaxed.

Because Mahiro hadn't finished speaking.

"I think you should know my identity. As I mentioned at the banquet, I am a modifier mage from the Yotsuba family. You should know what the biggest drawback of modifiers is, right?"

life.

All modifiers boil down to one issue: lifespan.

He and Miyuki haven't experienced such drawbacks yet, but Sakurai Honami, who is also a modifier, met her end prematurely due to excessive use of magic.

And the same goes for the Kushima family, including Kushima Retsu's grandson, Kushima Mitsunori.

Because he is a modified body, his magical power is also very strong, but he is weak and sickly and has been bedridden for many years.

He doesn't know if he will become like that in the future.

But after a long while, Sayaka spoke softly.

"....I know."

"Although I don't know much about body-adjusting mages... I only know one thing: you saved me, Junior Shinjiro."

It's like reaching out from a dark swamp, unable to speak, only able to pray and plead silently.

However, no one paid any attention to her, and she watched helplessly as she sank deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Just then, her junior, Zhenxun, appeared, grabbed her hand tightly, and pulled her out of the mud.

"When you did so many things for me, Junior Zhenxun, I had already fallen deeply in love with you and couldn't help but fall in love with you."

To help oneself rediscover one's true self, to stand up for oneself, or even to single-handedly eliminate a terrorist organization in order to avoid legal punishment.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but bury her head in his chest and mumbled:

"So, from that moment on, I made up my mind. Although I am not as outstanding as President Nanagusa, nor as beautiful as Junior Shiba, I will always be by your side whenever you need me, Junior Shinji."

Although the voice was soft, it still echoed faintly in the quiet room.

Although the room was dark and her face was not visible, Makoto could almost feel the burning gaze emanating from her shimmering eyes.

Not to mention, there was also this statement.

He wasn't sure how others would react to this, but at that moment, he felt a stirring within his heart.

This reignited his madness.

Amid Sayaka's gasp, Yotsuba Mahiro hugged her again.

...

This night was destined to be restless.

P.S.: It's broken, reposting.

Chapter 43 The Nine Schools Battle Begins

The day after the banquet, there was a free day, and the technical team got busy, making a final push.

Meanwhile, the players are also conserving their energy in their own ways, preparing to face the upcoming competitions in the best possible condition.

The nine-school competition began as scheduled the following day.

The competition venue, which can hold a full 100,000 people, is now completely packed. Among the seats are not only students who have given up their summer vacation to cheer for their schools, but also many members of the public who have come specifically to watch the competition!

Although it's just a competition for high school students, those who can come here are basically elite students from various magic high schools.

Students selected by the school to participate in the competition, unless they perish halfway through, all go on to become pillars of the military and various magical enterprises.

However, it seems that because the magic competition itself is very elaborate, there is no need to hold a grand and beautiful ceremony, nor are there lengthy speeches from guests. The competition started promptly at nine o'clock in the morning.

Starting today, a ten-day magic competition will commence, featuring official matches in five events for both boys and girls (for all students in the entire school year), as well as newcomer matches in five events for both boys and girls (for first-year students only). A total of twenty events will be held.

The first day's competition included the preliminary and final rounds of the "Rapid Shooting" event, as well as the preliminary rounds of "Surfing Race".

Normally, the magician is in charge of the project, and then the contestant chooses their preferred magician to make adjustments.

But Yotsuba Mahiro did the exact opposite.

This also leads to a problem—

Mayumi and Watanabe Mari, two senior students, had their projects overlap.

Mayumi's projects were "Rapid Shooting" and "Scoring in Groups," while Watanabe's were "Surfing Race" and "Star Picking in the Illusion."

This resulted in Makoto being busy from very early this morning.

Fortunately, the "surfing race" was only a preliminary round, and Watanabe-senpai was a favorite to win, so he didn't need to give her too much attention.

After preparing the CAD file and handing it over to Watanabe-senpai, he focused all his energy on Mayumi-senpai.

Is this force appropriate?

"Hmm~ You can use a little more force, it's okay."

As Mayumi requested, he increased the pressure again and pressed down hard.

Mayumi's body was pressed down by him until it was as if folded up.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a strange position.

Instead, it's a simple warm-up exercise before the game.

but....

"Senior, your flexibility is really amazing!" Mahiro exclaimed in surprise.

He was able to cross his legs and bend over to touch his toes, a posture that resembled a closed seashell.

In his opinion, even someone who studies dance would probably find it difficult to make such an outrageous stretching pose.

Not to mention someone as adept as Mayumi.

At the very least, Sayaka, who practices kendo, definitely couldn't do it, after all, they tried many things that night...

"Well, it's alright."

After stretching four times to the left and four times to the right, Mayumi ended with this sentence, bringing his wandering thoughts back.

Grasping her delicate hand, he pulled Mayumi up from the ground with a little force.

"Thank you~"

"You are welcome."

Mayumi Nanakusa stood up and stretched, a smile spreading across her face, especially when she looked at him.

"By the way, Shin-kun, were you thinking about something rude while you were helping me warm up?"

Were we discovered?

"Of course, you were clearly a little distracted just now. Even though you were with a beautiful girl like me, you were thinking about other things."

As if complaining, Mayumi's mischievous nature resurfaced, and she even puffed out one cheek in a huff.

It looks very cute.

"No, I was just thinking about how Mayumi-senpai looked just now, she looked a bit like a seashell."

Mahiro revealed his initial thoughts.

"shell?"
