Shenxue nodded, finally relieved.

“However… as for the position of candidate for the head of the Yotsuba family, Miyuki believes that you, Shinjiro-nii, are more suitable.”

"Sigh, come on. Putting aside whether I want to be the head of the family, that woman would never give me this position, and even if she did, the other branch families wouldn't agree."

"Who said that!"

Miyuki suddenly retorted excitedly, "I, along with Ayako, Fumiya, and Yuuka-neechan, will definitely support you, Mahiro-nii!"

Watching the girl argue her point, Makoto habitually stroked Miyuki's long hair gently.

“Miyuki, you should know very well that the decision-making power in this matter is not in your or my hands, and I have never cared about these things.”

"But...."

Shen Xue lowered her head shyly, her voice revealing dissatisfaction, "But, apart from you, Brother Zhenxun, what right does anyone else have to sit in the position of family head?!"

These are Miyuki's heartfelt words.

In terms of sheer excellence, no matter if it's the Mashiba family, the Shiiba family, or the Shinba family or other branches, none can compare to Yotsuba Mahiro.

Even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to fight with one hand.

The problem is, in the end, doesn't the attitude still depend on that woman, Yotsuba Maya?

Chapter 53 The Reunion of Mother and Son

Soon, Mahiro and Miyuki arrived at their destination according to the address left by Yotsuba Maya.

It is the VIP reception room in a military hotel.

Waiting for them at the door was Hayama, the head butler of the Yotsuba family.

"Gui'an, Miyuki-sama, Shinhun-sama."

Wearing a butler's uniform, Hayama clasped his right hand in front of his chest and bowed slightly.

"It's been a long time since I last greeted you, Mr. Hayama!"

Miyuki responded that she had a very good impression of Hayama.

Because Hayama is one of the few people in the Yotsuba family who is very professional and doesn't let personal emotions get in the way, and he has a very high opinion of Mahiro and Tatsuya.

Especially for Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Monster-like power, comparable to the strongest mage." This assessment originated from Hayama.

Mahiro looked at Hayama with slight surprise; it was the first time Hayama had greeted him like that.

"Well then, although this seems very impolite, please move to the reception room at the front immediately."

"Madam has been waiting for a long time."

Mahiro and Miyuki didn't say anything, they just nodded. Then Hayama put his hands on the doorknob and pushed it open forcefully.

Once inside, I realized there were quite a few people there.

"Uncle Kuroba, Ayako, Fumiya, Miss Sakurai, and Aunt, I hope you are all well. It has been a long time since I last greeted you."

Miyuki and the others present were exchanging greetings, like a noble circle somewhere. Mahiro wasn't interested, and instead found Sayaka sitting opposite Maya, and walked straight over.

Sayaka's face lit up with joy when she saw Mahiro arrive.

"Congratulations, Makoto, on winning the Ice Pillar Offense and Defense match! It was a great match, and you looked so cool back then. But I'm sorry I couldn't congratulate you right away."

Sayaka was holding a teacup in her hands, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup.

This is one of her little habits; she does this whenever she gets nervous.

Mahiro noticed it immediately and gently placed his hand on the back of her hand.

"That's nothing, as long as you're alright. That woman didn't do anything to you, did she?"

The woman's address made Sayaka glance at Maya on the opposite sofa, and seeing that she was smiling at them without any displeasure, she felt relieved.

She shook her head and smiled gently, "Lord Yotsuba has been very kind to me. He just talked to me a lot about you and the Yotsuba family."

After saying that, she turned to look at Miyuki and nodded slightly, saying, "Junior Miyuki."

“Sayaka-senpai,” Miyuki replied.

The two got along very peacefully, and Sayaka showed no surprise at Miyuki's appearance.

It seems that Maya Yotsuba has already revealed Miyuki's identity to Sayaka.

"It's been so long, my dear child."

At this moment, the elegant and exceptionally beautiful woman opposite them greeted them.

Her lips parted slightly, and her voice was as clear and melodious as a lark's, yet it also carried a hint of forbidden allure.

"It hasn't been that long, has it? Compared to that period of time, how long has it been?"

Makoto looked up at the opposite side.

Yotsuba Maya's appearance remained unchanged.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her waist, and she possessed an exquisite appearance that could captivate any man and a slender figure that would make any woman envious.

Especially the sexy black and red dress she wore, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her full breasts looked as if they might burst out of her clothes at any moment.

It was as if time had left no trace on her.

Her sitting posture was very casual, as if she were lying on the sofa, with a lazy posture, and every move she made was full of charm.

"Aren't you going to tell me why you came here in person?" Masami asked.

"There's no particular purpose behind it."

Yotsuba Maya slightly raised her delicate little feet, revealing a section of her pale white leg beneath her skirt.

She picked up the rich and fragrant original black tea and took a small sip from it.

"She's just a poor mother who was abandoned by her own child and secretly came to the sports meet to see her son."

"Hehe... First of all, the idea that I would abandon you is utter nonsense. Putting aside whether I could actually do such a despicable thing, even if I wanted to abandon you, it would be impossible."

Secondly, how exactly did you combine the words "pitiful" and "mother" and apply them to yourself? Don't you find it incongruous?

His blunt words terrified everyone.

Whether it was Kuroba Gong, Ayako and Fumiya, or even Miyuki, they all looked at him in surprise.

Hayama frowned slightly, intending to reprimand her, but was stopped by Yotsuba Maya.

"True Seeker..."

Sayaka, who was sitting next to him, tugged at his sleeve slightly.

"I am fine."

Mahiro took a deep breath, calmed his agitated emotions, and looked at the woman again.

"Let's get down to business. If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I have other things to do."

"What an impatient child..."

Seeing Mahiro get up to leave, Maya Yotsuba looked at the girl beside her and said to her, "Sayaka, could you please take Fumiya and Mizuna to the Nine Schools Battleground?"

"They really long for the nine-school battle."

An excuse that couldn't be more obvious.

Sayaka hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but did not refuse.

After Mahiro and she agreed to have dinner together, Sayaka left the reception room with Fumiya and Mizuha.

Immediately afterwards, Hayama and Kuroba also left the room.

During this process, Maya had already put down her teacup and rested her chin on her hand.

He still wore that enigmatic smile on his face, watching Makoto the entire time.

"You must be having a lot of fun at school, right?"

"Ah."

"You've caused me a lot of trouble, haven't you?"

"Ah."

"Is the CAD software I sent you working properly?"

"Ah."

It was like a conversation in an ordinary family, and Mahiro's only response was a simple "hmm".

But Maya suddenly changed her tone the next second.

"It seems you're indeed carrying out the task I assigned you very diligently."

"Hmm...hmm? What do you mean?"

He met Maya's gaze; her dark purple crystal eyes held a mischievous smile.

"Chiba Erika, Shibata Mizuki, Kitayama □, Mitsui Honoka, Nanakusa Mayumi, and Mibu Sayaka who just left."

As if reciting a familiar list, Maya Yotsuba named the girls gathered around him.

"Ten Masters Clan, Hundred Schools, Well-known Entrepreneurs, Elemental Clan, and Individuals with Special Talents, truly impressive."

An elegant smile played on the woman's lips, as if every move Shinsuke made was under her watchful eye.

When Mahiro heard these names, his face darkened completely.

P.S.: The bounty period is almost over~ Results will be announced on Thursday.

Chapter 54 Become the Head of the Yotsuba Family

"Are you investigating me?"

"That's a given."

Maya picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "No matter what, you are a body-adjusting mage who came from the Fourth Research Institute. You are essentially the property of the Yotsuba family, so I naturally have the right to supervise you."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

The moment the words fell.

An invisible thought wave spread out, enveloping Maya's body, as if Maya could easily kill this fragile woman with just a thought.

"Brother Zhenxun, no!"

Miyuki noticed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Mahiro's arm, urging him not to act rashly.

Even Ayako was taken aback.

She didn't even know who to help. On one side was the respected Lady Maya, and on the other was her favorite and most beloved cousin!

At this moment, Maya Yotsuba raised her eyes from her teacup and met his gaze again.

Although Shinji couldn't see through the woman's true thoughts, he could see an indescribable emotion lingering in the depths of her pupils.

They even ignored his threats and dropped an even more explosive bombshell.

"But there's something that surprised me. That girl who just left, Sayaka Mibu. You've already won her over, haven't you?"

"Xiao Shuibo is just as good, so why did an outsider beat her to it?"

"Huh—??!!!"

Yotsuba Mahiro couldn't help but let out an embarrassing sound, and even the thought of the wave couldn't be maintained, instantly dissipating completely.

"what....."

This sound came from Shen Xue.

She covered her mouth, as if casting an icy mist domain to freeze herself, but a complex, ever-changing flame flickered in her constantly blinking eyes.

He repeatedly confirmed this through Mahiro and Maya.
