Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

"It's been a long time, Miyuki-neechan and Tatsuya-san." The girl smiled and waved.

"Ayako? How come even you..."

Miyuki's gaze continued to wander.

When she saw another familiar figure, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"How is that possible?!"

That person looks exactly like Sakurai Honami, who once protected my mother!

Sakurai Mizunami noticed Miyuki's shocked gaze, responded with a polite smile, and gave a slight bow.

"Hmm~ Found it."

Just then, Maya Yotsuba suddenly stood up, her high heels clicking on the steps with a crisp sound that seemed to tread on everyone's hearts.

Ignoring Miyuki's surprise and Tatsuya's wariness, she stopped in front of Sayaka in full view of everyone.

Under the gaze of this elegant woman looking down at her, Sayaka seemed somewhat flustered.

Although she didn't know the other person, she had a strange feeling that this woman seemed to have a close relationship with Zhen Xunjun!

Especially when they look up and meet each other's gaze.

He saw those pupils, as black as Yotsuba Mahiro's, reflecting his own image.

This elegant woman seemed to be scrutinizing herself, and deep within her pupils, there appeared to be a mysterious smile.

The curve of her lips became more and more pronounced.

"You must be Sayaka Mibu, right?"

Maya Yotsuba's voice is sweet and alluring, possessing a captivating charm.

"Ah...yes, I'm Sayaka Mibu, hello..." Sayaka's palms were sweating with nervousness.

"You have a pretty good eye."

Seeing her slightly flustered appearance, Maya Yotsuba couldn't help but chuckle:

“But there’s no need to be so nervous. As you can see, I am Maya Yotsuba, the head of the Yotsuba family, and also Shinjiro’s… mother.”

......

.....

...

The game is over.

The results for the men's group were also announced.

Champion: First High School, Yotsuba Mahiro

Runner-up: Third High School, Ichijo Masaki

Third Place: First High School, Hattori Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Fan Zang

Without a doubt, Yotsuba Mahiro battled against all the opponents under the rules of the Operations Committee, and amidst the cheers and celebrations of the First High School, became the undisputed champion of the ice pillar offense and defense.

Warm applause filled the entire venue.

Regardless of the school or the contestant, they are completely convinced.

When Yotsuba Mahiro walked out of the contestant passage, the students from No. 1 High School had already surrounded the entrance.

Almost everyone came, except for those who were competing and couldn't attend, including casual spectators.

Everyone was waiting to welcome their hero.

Congratulations, Zhenxun, on winning the championship!

"Congratulations."

The first to rush up to celebrate were Honoka and Kitayama, who had been waiting for a long time.

"I mean...it can't be that bad, can it?"

He felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.

I've never been this popular, not even in my past life.

"Of course! The match was fantastic, and everyone is really excited!"

Mayumi Nanagusa, who was at the head of the group, stepped forward to offer her congratulations, while also looking at him with a hint of heartache.

"But it really must have been tough on you, Junior Brother Zhenxun. To help No. 1 High School win, you even used that magic."

"Yes, Nana is right. It was really not easy to defeat Ichijo Masaki despite the committee's targeting. I am very grateful for everything you have done for First High School."

The burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Katsuto Jumonji, also stepped forward, as serious as ever.

The gaze directed at him was also somewhat profound.

The magic they were referring to was, of course, the meteor shower used to finally defeat Ichijo Shōki.

The magic, seemingly used on a whim, caused a sensation throughout the entire Nine Schools Battle?

Isn't it?

Chapter 52 Miyuki is my cousin, is there a problem?

To celebrate their lead over other high schools after the first three days, Mayumi plans to hold a small celebration party after the surfing race in Mori.

only.....

"Yotsuba, your mom's here."

"what?!"

This message, which sounded like an insult, was obtained from Erica after the crowd dispersed.

But it wasn't an insult; it was that old woman Maya Yotsuba really came!

Not long ago, I was sitting in the audience of the Nine Schools Tournament under the scorching sun, watching his match!

This is the first time ever.

Based on his understanding of Yotsuba Maya, she was a well-bred young lady who rarely left her home.

It was hard to believe, but not only Erika, but also Miyuki and Mizuki said the same thing.

Not only that.

"Your mother also took Xiangxiang away, saying she wanted to talk to her alone, and that if you wanted to find Xiangxiang, you should go see her," Erica said.

"..."

No wonder he hadn't seen Sayaka for so long.

What kind of crazy idea is this old woman coming up with this time?

“My aunt means she wants to see us alone,” Miyuki explained.

"We" naturally refers to him and Miyuki, not even Tatsuya.

"Alright then, let's go see what tricks that old woman is up to this time."

"Wait a moment."

Just as Mahiro was about to leave with Miyuki, a striking head of red hair blocked his way. Erika looked up at him.

"Honori-kun, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"Explain what?"

"It's just... it's just that Yotsuba-san seems to give off a very gentle vibe... and also, why does Miyuki call Yotsuba-san 'aunt'...?"

It was Mizuki who spoke, looking timid and her voice grew weaker and weaker until she finally fell silent.

Actually, she had noticed a problem a long time ago.

Because she has a hypersensitivity to spiritual radiation, which is what elven mages in ancient magic call "crystal eyes".

They can see non-physical spiritual light that ordinary people cannot see, and their spiritual sensitivity can even distinguish elven colors that even elven magic users cannot see.

In her eyes, Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba have very similar auras.

After all, they are siblings, so it's normal.

The problem is that she discovered that Yotsuba Mahiro and Shiba Miyuki have a more similar aura, and their compatibility and similarity are even higher than that of Shiba Tatsuya!

But she never dared to say it out loud.

After hearing Wan Yue's account, he was both amused and exasperated.

"You guys really think that old woman Maya Yotsuba is gentle?"

His gaze swept around, and apart from the silent Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki, everyone else nodded.

"Elegant, gentle, mysterious, and poised." This is Beishan's opinion.

"Exactly, exactly! She's nothing like the exaggerated description of her as a witch you made her out to be!" Erica put her hands on her hips, as if she were about to stand up for Yotsuba Maya.

This made Makoto chuckle.

"It doesn't matter about others, Erica, as the daughter of one of the Hundred Families, don't you know? That act is just for show. In reality, that woman is ruthless."

Although the title "Inviolable Taboo" was given by the previous head of the family, Yotsuba Genzo, it was Yotsuba Maya who truly secured its position.

His ruthless methods were even feared by the Ten Masters Clan.

Hearing him say that, Erica couldn't refute it, since the Chiba family was in the same boat.

"...And what about your relationship with Miyuki?"

"It's very simple. Since Miyuki calls my mother 'aunt,' what kind of relationship do you think we have? She's just my cousin."

"what?!!!"

"Ah...really?!"

"Miyuki-san is actually Mahiro-san's cousin?!"

Mahiro Yotsuba, in the most casual tone, said something that surprised everyone the most.

Even the usually composed Beishan showed signs of distress on his usually expressionless face.

This was more shocking than anything else, like a bolt of lightning striking them from the blue, leaving them scorched and battered.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

With Shiba Tatsuya's formidable skills and craftsmanship, as well as Miyuki's extraordinary magical abilities, she clearly doesn't belong to an ordinary family.

Therefore, Erika once speculated that it might be a missing family lineage.

Like Ichihara Suzune.

But to everyone's surprise, he turned out to be a cousin of Yotsuba Mahiro?

In other words, the Shiba family is one of the branch families of the Yotsuba family?!

......

"Hey, Shinjiro-nii, is it okay to tell them about my relationship with the Yotsuba family?" Miyuki Shiba asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Mahiro replied nonchalantly.

While everyone was still in shock and hadn't recovered, he took Shen Xue's hand and quietly slipped away.

On the way, Miyuki brought up the matter, and he offered a brief explanation and analysis.

"Since that woman chose to greet you and Tatsuya in public, it means she doesn't care about exposing the Shiba family."

"Besides, it's just about being cousins, and it doesn't reveal that you're a candidate for the Yotsuba family's heir, so there won't be any problems."

"As for whether it will be discovered, I think there is even less to worry about."

"Don't let Erika's always cheerful and carefree demeanor fool you, she's actually very tight-lipped."

"I don't think anyone else will go around talking about it."

"If someone really investigates, there's the behemoth that is the Yotsuba family behind them. Who would dare to make a move? Right?"

"Hmm... what Mahiro-nii said makes a lot of sense."
