At that time, Watanabe's reaction could only be described as superb.

First, cancel forward acceleration and switch to horizontal rotation acceleration. Using the waves reflected back from the side walls of the waterway, combine magic with your skills to make the pedals rotate half a circle.

Then, using multiple calculation techniques, he continuously employed complex magic to prepare to catch the out-of-control Seventh High School student.

This should have prevented the accident from happening.

However, the speed of the Seventh High School's athletes was too great.

Although they successfully caught each other, they were also thrown into the air. Just as they crossed the finish line, the two crashed into the guardrail at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

Thanks to the protective spells, both of them were successfully saved.

But similarly, they all sustained some injuries.

Watanabe-senpai is alright; she only suffered minor injuries to her arm and head, and will be fine after a little treatment.

However, the contestant from No. 7 High School is still unconscious.

The incident was officially classified as an accident.

The problem is that No. 7 High is also known as "the No. 7 High in the sea", and it is an equal competitor to No. 1 High in surfing racing.

How could someone make such a basic mistake as using a speed-up spell instead of a slowing spell?

Still at that speed?

It's obvious that it was those bastards who stabbed us in the back again!

Therefore, Mayu Yotsuba came to the conclusion—

"Watanabe-senpai, let's withdraw from the competition."

"Huh? Why?"

Morley was stunned, then quickly moved his arm to explain, "I'm fine. With just a little treatment, I can still participate in the finals!"

"I know."

Mahiro reached out and pressed down on her arm, applying a little force, causing Watanabe Mari to wince in pain.

"But as your CAD technician, I have to be responsible for your future, so withdraw from the competition."

Seeing his unprecedentedly serious expression, Morina swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

“Yes, Mori, let’s listen to Makoto and withdraw from the race. It’s just a surfing race, we can afford to lose,” Mayumi said.

She's starting to regret opening the champagne too early.

Fortunately.

With a commanding lead in points, even losing the surfing race wouldn't be a big deal.

Although winning this match will make the upcoming rookie competition much easier.

"And with Kobayakawa-san there too, getting a ranking shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"N-No, that's right. I'll work hard along with Watanabe-senpai!"

The girl named Kobayakawa had clenched her fists and was cheering herself on, telling Mori that it wouldn't have any impact even if she withdrew from the competition.

"Well... okay, I agree to withdraw from the competition, but I can still participate in the 'Star Picking in the Illusion' event for the last two days, right?"

"this...."

Mayumi looked at Mahiro with some difficulty.

After all, only the technician can decide whether Mori can participate in the competition.

“No problem, but Senior Mori must rest and recuperate these few days. If you are in good condition on the day of the competition, I can let you participate. I can also give you a brand new set of magic to participate in the ‘Illusion Star Picking’ competition.”

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this answer, Morley's face immediately lit up with joy, but she couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath, "But there's no need to make it so serious, there's clearly nothing wrong..."

Mahiro heard it, but said nothing.

It wasn't that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Rather, it's because the prerequisite for using magic is that you must believe in magic.

Many magicians are unable to continue working in magic-related professions for the rest of their lives due to an accident.

Like that girl from No. 7 High School, her life is probably ruined.

However, there is one crucial point: by the time of "Picking Stars from the Illusionary Realm," the headless dragon would have already been dealt with.

Naturally, there's no need to worry about anyone sabotaging you behind your back.

Chapter 56 You'll keep my secret, right?

Time comes to night.

Yotsuba Mahiro is lying on the big bed in the hotel, waiting for a phone call.

Due to Watanabe's accident and the need to deal with the headless dragon, his dinner plans with Sayaka were canceled.

So it was changed to breakfast.

only....

"It's so late, and they still haven't called... Oh well, I'll just take a nap."

It was already eleven o'clock.

Mahiro also felt a little sleepy, so he decided to take a nap and rest.

But shortly after he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked.

Immediately afterwards, the bed suddenly sank, as if something heavy had been placed on his body.

"Hey Ayako...didn't we agree to contact each other by phone? Why did it turn into a night raid?"

Opening my eyes, I was met with a pair of wine-red eyes that revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

The delicate girl who looked like a porcelain doll during the day was now sitting on his lap with her hands on his chest, her warm softness radiating from her.

"Mr. Mahiro, do you dislike Ayako?"

Ayako's answer was irrelevant; she responded to a question with another question, and even her form of address changed.

"You're not calling me 'brother' anymore?"

I feel a bit nostalgic.

I remember the last time I was called that was about ten years ago, when I first met Ayako.

Back then, Ayako was a genuine loli.

I was immediately struck by her beauty; she looks exactly like Maya!

From then on, Kuroba Ayako would often run to the Fourth Research Institute to see him, and in a way, he watched her grow up.

In a way, wouldn't you call this a different kind of Genji plan?

"Don't change the subject!"

Just as his thoughts were drifting back to the past, Ayako's plaintive voice pulled him back to reality.

Seeing Ayako pouting with dissatisfaction, Mahiro couldn't help but smile.

"How could that be? What reason would I have to hate the adorable Ayako?"

"Then why did Mr. Mahiro reject the marriage proposal made by Lady Maya?"

Upon hearing Ayako's question, Mahiro's hand, which instinctively reached to stroke her curly hair, froze.

Sure enough, they still asked about this.

"This young lady clearly likes Mr. Mahiro very much..."

Ayako said reproachfully with her strange verbal tic, her wine-red eyes meeting his for a moment before she nestled against him shyly.

For a girl of such a young age to say such things in this way... it just feels... a little strange.

Not to mention that she has a face that is seven-tenths similar to Maya Yotsuba.

It felt like that woman was being affectionate with me.

A bit difficult to stretch.

"Alright, let's talk about that later. Let's get the work done first. You're just a police officer now; we'll discuss it again when you become a high school girl!"

"Ugh, Mr. Mahiro always uses such flimsy excuses to fob Ayako off..."

That being said, let’s consider this a promise for now.

Ayako's blinking eyes revealed a strange look of anticipation.

......

.....

...

After Ayako's brief night raid, they set off.

After changing her clothes, Yotsuba Mahiro headed straight for the hotel's underground parking lot.

In the parking lot, a long black Mercedes-Benz had been waiting for a long time. Yotsuba Mahiro walked straight over and opened the car door.

"Brother Zhenxun!"

As soon as the car door opened, Wenmi inside greeted him warmly.

However, Wen Mi's appearance at this moment was completely different from his previous image as a frail young master; he had become even more... adorable.

Yes, that's right, it's cute.

Like Ayako, she has a pair of intoxicating wine-red eyes and wears red lips that don't match her age.

She wore short black hair with a white headband, and had changed into a black dress, tights, and black knee-high boots.

She looks exactly like Yotsuba Maya with short hair!

"Yes, Fumi, I'll have to trouble you and Ayako this time."

Yotsuba Mahiro merely glanced at it, nodded in greeting, and didn't react much.

It's no surprise.

Because they couldn't reveal their identities during the operation, and Ayako's magical abilities were suitable for her to be the main attacker, she dressed up her cute younger brother as a cute little Nanliang sister, under the guise of—concealing his identity.

This isn't the first time they've done this.

Although Wenmi was very shy when she first met people.

But over time, and with repeated occurrences, even he himself got used to it.

really.

When it comes to cross-dressing, it's either zero times or countless times.

However, after he got into the car, Fumiya saw Ayako following behind and immediately said unhappily:

"Sister, you're so slow! We agreed on ten minutes, but half an hour has already passed! If you keep doing this, Lord Maya will scold you!"

"Oh, Wenmi, are you trying to teach me a lesson? You're a hundred years too early."

Ayako, who was already in the car, merely glanced at Fumiya.

Wen Mi immediately froze, and then remained silent, stammering out the rest.

Sure enough, older sisters have a natural advantage and ability to suppress their younger brothers.

And it's the same no matter what age you are.

After a while, the parked Mercedes slowly drove out of the hotel's underground parking lot.

However, what they didn't notice was that in another corner of the parking lot, there was also a minivan parked.

About ten minutes after they left, the same car also drove out of the hotel and headed in the same direction as them.

......

"The primary target of this operation is the Grand Hotel in Yokohama Chinatown, which is the hideout of the East Japan branch of the Headless Dragon."
