...Shizuku, can't fix this? "Understand circumstances, inevitable."
Kyoto morning linear back Tokyo, uniform from bag school; good weather rooftop lunch—Yugen awaits grumpy Miyuki. She understands Yugen position, fears additions absent. Thus Yugen, Miyuki, Shizuku, Hiari rooftop lunch. Eats beside, sighs at sulking Miyuki.
"Totally not playing." "…Know." "Inevitable, Yugen."
Unlike past romance-thin, now word-careful. Emi settled friend talk; last Blanche heavy. But next New Year public sure fuss. Mainly 'Crimson Prince.'
"Yeah. Details later, next weekend thesis recon. Sorry Shizuku, proxy Yoshida." "Yoshida-kun joins?" "Legit ancient mage, flexible."
Pre-'Kuzuryu' Takatsuki, Shijukunin mobilize. Masaki comp, classmate Fuko movable. Hiari Ise proxy; Miyuki hotel liaison.
"Got, Honoka too. Wanted join but…" "Combat aversion fine… Tatsuya persuade might rouse." "Even onii-sama won't force Honoka." "Rather Tatsuya-kun preempt cleanup."
True, Yugen continues.
"I current union head, proposal-ish. Formal Yoshida, Tatsuya; prepare." "…Doubt, Yugen human?" "Stop. Grandpa bugs human concept; I mind."
Shizuku simple: Yugen council paperwork superhuman fast. Reason: past Defense Army weapon dev relic parse demanded permits/reports, dozens per. National secret normal; main Yugen learned body enhance 'Multi-Task Acceleration,' unconscious paperwork, superhuman speed. Workaholic result.
"Presence scares Parasites. Direct inhuman hurts. Why Miyuki laugh?" "Fufu, sorry… truly Yugen-san." "Soon Yugen god plausible."
No virtue earned, deification exempt. Emerge, crush first. Advanced Humanity Front similar recruit; want no strongest title, no world rule. Polish protect dear; past ties intensify training.
Shibata control drills one; Miyata/Uesumi routine continue. Lately Tatsuya, Miyuki, Minamo join; plus Kokonoe martial guidance occasional. Unlike Tatsuya, Yakumo personal ninjutsu tests frequent. Yakumo: "Your level hesitates me; disciples no match." Disciple care understandable, but experiment dubious Kagurazaka kin.
"Execs fear, members too. Asked Juumonji-senpai: 'Happened me, but serious' pity… sisters' fault, mostly Ichijou." "Um… blaming others questionable." "But beat Third High 'Crimson Prince' two years fact. Many guys intimidated. Miyuki advances down largely." "Miyuki grateful Ichijou dilemma…"
Miyuki understandable. Masaki love-at-first Miyuki, witnessed Yugen-Miyuki close. Masaki unaware famous First High couple, deeper ties. Latter excusable; former same school odd. Confirmed Akirou: Masaki unaware. "No proper romance experience" sigh; grasps situation.
"Can't lump me Masaki, same Ten Master direct confessed. Father push though."
Miyata non-inherit months post-rebirth decided confrontation; process invented magic tech (world mechanic), taught siblings, secret Shiro mag-mod, Shina CAD plus Shinkage martial care. Miyata main: Shizuru Yachigusa married, occasional practice. Post-auditory control Shina growth remarkable, surpasses Shiro magic potential. Slightly more Genji influence, Miyata-worthy. Shiro crisis trains, Shina sulks neglect apology set positive.
Brother detach lonely, but dependence lose marriage happiness better. Siscon confirmed inward wry.

Afterschool, Tatsuya busy gaps Kanahiro direct stairs council room. Unfamiliar stairs, plus Tatsuya guilt.
"Excuse." "On time, Kanahiro." "Tatsuya busy, late rude."
Miyuki hears: "All Yoshida/Yugen mindset help" mutter; Yugen inward sigh more Shibata follow. Tatsuya comp dragged everywhere. Tatsuya thinks Yugen Miyuki full busier; postpone, main topic. Thesis security Kyoto recon.
"Start meeting." "Yeah. Today: comp local security prelim."
Kanahiro spreads large e-paper: Kyoto map. Original no union, Yugen head resolves.
"Day security Hattori prep; results via Kagurazaka head helpful." "Understood, Yoshida chair. Council agree?" "Yeah. Please, Kagurazaka head."
Here: Tatsuya, Miyuki, Minamo, Kanahiro pre-aligned. Celia too; Riri join inevitable. Future comp local liaison main. Remaining: natural Honoka, Izumi unaware.
"Here new conference hall." "City edge." "Locals oppose center."
Root: last comp overlap Yokohama. Kyoto foreigner heavy near Osaka, Great Asian truce, repeat caution natural.
"Last Yokohama mess. Resident fear understandable… sparse homes, north forests. Temp base plausible." "That vigilant?" "Quiet humanists might meddle."
Likely Traditionalists, but humanists possible. Use Traditionalists hype magic danger. Then strip funds root.
"Nine Schools gate humanist demo. Plus last, danger not venue only." "Wider survey needed?" "Agree. Mere high schoolers, but do what can."
Tatsuya words Honoka, Izumi, Minamo doubtful gaze; Tatsuya ignores proceed. "Mere" unfit Tatsuya correct.
"Recon members?" "I go. Proxy Kitayama-san. Yugen?" "Go, likely separate."
Yugen separate pre-explained Tatsuya et al.; Kagurazaka name Kyoto ubiquitous. Yesterday police felt; separate rational.
"Got. Tatsuya too." "Yeah."
Kanahiro-Tatsuya set; Miyuki voices.
"Onii-sama, join if ok. Hotel liaison direct." "Miyuki no need, I—" "Honoka travel budget?" "Y-Yes…"
Honoka obvious Tatsuya want. Izumi envious; Miyuki smile request.
"Izumi-chan, vice proxy while I go." "Leave me!"
Less original, Izumi motivated Miyuki words. No dampen; schedule.
"Recon pre-comp weekend—20,21?" "Reasonable." "Hm… I absent from 18 Kyoto." "Eh? That far?"
Kanahiro tilt; reason solid. Kyoto temples/shrines countless; major greetings day-easy consume. Surely over. Greetings ideal, but Traditionalists notice assassins possible. Pre-recon blind 'plus one' eyes quickest.
"Lodge mother connections… why stares?" "Un-Yugen proactive. Bad food?" "I normal, Tatsuya."
Zhou school absent rumor issue; solved more Mika grad element. Principal Hyakuyama pride Course1/2 system dented, rage dragged Gozo. Then president Kana join: Uesumi-Miyata vs. Hyakuyama. Haruka via heard, Genji reconfirm: Genji, Shiho furious. Yugen unaware Nagano name, Uesumi live. Plus Blanche exposed Course2 weakness. Original knowledge ironic enrollment timing.
Add: middle2 promotion magic uni mock pass; First High notified. Unmatched scores, Hyakuyama can't refuse. "Avoid involvement permit" perhaps.
Honor student anime start date set, pace up. Irregular update same, forgive. Real work main.
Pre-protagonist Shizuku request smooth. Honestly, novel/manga original Igarashi head actions unclear. Protagonist moves free discretion heavy.
