"Anyway, it's the same whether you herd one sheep or a whole flock. I've danced with so many people, so what's one more, Watanabe-senpai... Or is it that Watanabe-senpai simply can't dance?"
"Who, who said I can't do it!"
Faced with his provocation, Morley immediately put down his wine glass, put his hand on Morley's, and walked with him to the dance floor as if in a fit of pique.
At this moment, the banquet came to its final performance.
But as he expected, Watanabe-senpai's dance moves were indeed very clumsy.
Many times, the rhythm gets out of control.
Fortunately, Mayumi's previous mischief helped him get used to Watanabe-senpai's dance moves.
Under his guidance, Morley gradually caught up with the rhythm and became more skilled.
Chapter 59 The Powerful Strategic-Level Mage
Nearly a week has passed since the Nine Schools Tournament concluded.
He's had a great week of sleep, waking up naturally every day, and even after waking up, a beautiful girl helps him prepare breakfast.
Perhaps this is the pinnacle of life?
However, his happy life was shattered by a phone call today.
"Miss Mayumi...?"
Still half-asleep, he forced himself to look at the caller ID and asked in confusion, "Isn't it still summer vacation? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
As the call connected, a familiar greeting came from the other end.
"Is he really looking for his junior?"
"Ah, it's my senior... Why are you contacting me at this hour... *yawn*"
"Junior Brother Zhenxun... It's already noon, are you still sleeping?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a bit strange, and the way he said it was also strange.
"What's wrong with noon? I think it's still summer vacation... If we don't sleep, do we have to get up and do our homework?"
"I'm joking," Makoto said, but a faint "Ugh~" of anger echoed from the other end of the phone.
Then another sigh rang out, and Mayumi's voice came again.
"Hey Zhenxun, do you still remember what you promised me on the day the Nine Schools Tournament ended?"
"Promise what...?"
Makoto looked puzzled, his brow furrowed.
I'm trying hard to remember...
I still remember the day the nine-school tournament ended, when they were taking the bus back, Mayumi was still sitting next to him.
And he asked him:
"Um... Junior Shinjiro, did you keep your word when you came here before?"
"of course."
"Thank you so much, Junior Zhenxun. How about you rest well at home for the next few days and come to my house as a guest in five days?"
"Yeah, no problem!"
no problem....
no problem...
no problem.
—This concludes the recollection.
Yotsuba Mahiro: "......."
"Sorry, senior, I accidentally forgot about it... But wait a moment, I'll be right there!!!"
Without waiting for a response on the other end of the phone, Yotsuba Mahiro jumped out of bed at lightning speed, changed her clothes, and rushed into the bathroom to quickly wash up.
It then rushed out of the room at a speed completely imperceptible to the naked eye.
Sakurai Mizumi, who was cleaning the living room, only felt a gust of wind blow past her.
"...That's...Master Shinji?"
"Shuibo, I'm going out for a bit. You stay home and behave yourself!"
"Hey? But what about lunch?"
"I'm not eating. You eat by yourself for now! I'll be back later!"
"But...."
Before Shuibo could finish speaking, she heard the door open. Staring blankly at the door that had closed again, she couldn't help but murmur:
"But how can we not eat...? Lord Mahiro, you suffer from low blood sugar..."
If we're talking about flaws, this might be the only flaw in Yotsuba Mahiro's entire body.
Unfortunately, he himself has never realized this.
After leaving home, Mahiro followed the map navigation sent by Mayumi, changed trains three times, and walked for a long time under the scorching sun before finally arriving at a gate.
The sheer size of the building and courtyard before us truly befits the Nanakusa family.
Its scale is on par with the Yotsuba main store!
"Who are you? Why are you at my doorstep?!"
Just as he was about to press the doorbell, the front door leading to the foyer suddenly opened, accompanied by a delicate shout.
Suddenly, one of the two girls who looked remarkably alike called out to him.
"Kasumi, that's very rude!"
Another girl with slightly longer hair and a somewhat delicate appearance spoke up to reprimand the girl called Kasumi.
Then she stepped forward and bowed slightly to him, saying:
"I apologize for my sister's rudeness. May I ask who you are and what brings you to the Nana family?"
In contrast, this girl was indeed very polite and gave people a natural sense of goodwill.
"It's nothing. My name is Yotsuba Mahiro. I came here at the invitation of Nanagusa Mayumi-senpai."
Yotsuba Mahiro said this with a polite smile.
But as soon as he finished speaking, for some reason, both girls reacted very strangely.
"So, you're... Mahiro-nii-nii?"
The once refined and gentle girl suddenly covered her mouth, trembling, as if she had witnessed some incredible spectacle!
Kasumi's reaction was even more surprising; she actually pounced on him!
"Brother Mahiro, I've finally met you! You're even more handsome in person than in the videos!"
Yotsuba Mahiro: "???"
No, little sister, who are you calling brother?
This should be our first time meeting, right?
Besides, I'm not some rare or exotic creature, there's no need to look at me with such surprise.
"Kasumi, Izumi, what are you doing? How can you let the guests stand outside?"
Just then, Mayumi suddenly appeared from the entrance hall.
She first verbally reprimanded the two girls, then stepped forward and pulled Kasumi off him.
Because Kasumi was unwilling to let go, Mayumi slapped her on the head.
Only then did she take Kasumi off him.
"I'm sorry, junior, you must have made a fool of yourself." Mayumi said with a wry smile, "They are my younger sisters, Nanakusa Kasumi and Nanakusa Izumi."
"I am Kasumi Nanakusa, and I am the older sister."
"I am Nanakusa Izumi, and I am the younger sister."
"Nice to meet you, brother Makoto."
The two girls chatted like they were performing a comedy routine, taking turns saying a few words, and then introduced themselves in unison.
"Hello, Izumi and Kasumi... It's our first time meeting and I didn't bring any gifts. I'll make it up to you next time."
As he spoke, he handed the gift to Mayumi.
"Really? Brother Mahiro?!"
"If that's the case, then Kasumi won't hold back!"
The two girls looked at him with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
"Kasumi, Izumi!"
Mayumi glared at them slightly, then said to Mahiro, "Mahiro-kun, you don't need to be like that, you're being too polite."
At this moment, Mayumi's feelings were very complicated.
She knew very well that Makoto's financial situation wasn't that good, but even so, she brought her a gift bag and also wanted to give gifts to her two younger sisters.
Furthermore, the purpose of bringing Zhenxun here today was somewhat impure.
This made her feel somewhat guilty.
"Haha... It's nothing, it's nothing." Mahiro waved his hand, telling Mayumi not to take it too seriously.
Then, led by Mayumi and the twins, they entered the Nanagusa family mansion.
"By the way, Junior Zhenxun, there's something I want to tell you first. Besides my father, we have two other guests today."
"Then I came at the wrong time?"
“No, it’s just right.” Mayumi shook her head and smiled gently.
"Yeah..."
Only then did he notice Mayumi's outfit that day.
She wore simple and appropriate home clothes, with a white coat that resembled a shawl over them, and even her long wavy hair was not as loose as before.
Instead, she tied her hair into a low ponytail that hung down her back.
She has the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Meanwhile, they passed through the front hall and came to the main hall at the back.
Sitting on the sofa was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, whose handsome features from his youth were still faintly discernible.
His expression was very serious, and a cold glint appeared in his single eye behind his sunglasses. He was wearing black clothes, and the buttons were fastened perfectly.
It has a strong, powerful feel to it.
Opposite him sat a male and a female guest.
The man was of average appearance, exuding a weak and scholarly air, and seemed somewhat insecure, while the woman was sitting in a wheelchair, looking very delicate and pitiful.
Mayumi introduced the man on the sofa as her father, Hirokazu Nanakusa.
The man opposite is named Hirofumi Itsuwa, the fiancé Mayumi mentioned who had caused her distress.
The woman in the wheelchair, who is almost thirty years old, is the eldest daughter of the Itsuwa family and the only strategic-level magician in Japan to be revealed to the world—Itsuwa Mio!
She was also the older sister who caused Mayumi the most distress.
However, during the introduction, Mayumi seemed to do it on purpose, leaning directly on his arm.
Although her face flushed instantly, she chose to persevere.
"Hello, I am Yotsuba Mahiro. Please forgive my intrusion." Mahiro said politely to the three of them.
“I am Hiroichi Nanagusa, the head of the Nanagusa family, and Mayumi’s father. You can call me Uncle. Although this is our first meeting, Maya Yotsuba and I are old friends.” Hiroichi Nanagusa stood up and smiled.
Hiroichi Nanakusa, who was initially unhappy about Mayumi's sudden departure, was actually quite pleased to see his daughter bring back the rumored Yotsuba Mahiro.
In his mind, Yotsuba Mahiro is the number one choice for the Nanakusa family's son-in-law!
