Chapter 23: The Trial of Mei: My Brother Has a Secret

Three judges held a trial in the restaurant.

Mei was held by Panda and sat next to Maki and Goumaki, while Ryouna sat with Yukimura.

"mighty--"

"Wow!" Brother Panda is so imposing!

Mei was the only one in the audience.

Panda was very satisfied and thought that the boy was teachable.

Maki punched Panda in the face, "Stop playing tricks, can't you see there are children here?"

Inumaki Ji was quick to cover Mei's eyes, thus preventing the child from seeing the violent scene.

Panda covered his face with his hands, unable to express his pain.

You're having a worse influence!

The simple Mei can easily distinguish between good and evil in people.

Although the relationship between these three brothers and sisters is strange, they have no ill intentions and instead have a very good relationship.

“Wow!”

This sister is so cool!

Mei was a little scared when she met these three suspected delinquents in the bumper car just now.

After just getting along with them, she found that these three brothers and sisters seemed a little strange, but they were still very nice people.

What’s more, it’s a panda! A soft and cuddly giant panda brother!

Yukimura Seiichi wisely remained silent, but observed the three classmates of the same period that Ryouna had just introduced.

The description is really accurate.

Panda is really wearing a panda doll, Maki has a hot temper and sharp tongue, and Inumaki Satoru speaks in rice ball language that is incomprehensible.

The three have their own personalities, but also have things in common.

They care about Ryouna very much.

Especially Maki, who had been targeting him openly and covertly along the way. He knew that this was the other party's awkward concern and desire to protect him, so he was not angry, but very happy instead.

Ryona really met a group of very nice people.

"Are you three here on a mission?"

Liangnai couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the farce.

"What if we go to the Director's Office and cause a scene like you did, and then go to the amusement park?"

Maki speaks directly, and people who don't know the truth may think that she hates Ryouna.

Fortunately, Ryouna didn't care. She knew Maki was concerned about her. She thought she had no mission and that the General Manager had come up with some other conspiracy against her.

After experiencing that wrong-level mission, Maki's disgust towards the General Directorate deepened, and her distrust reached its peak.

"Don't worry, those rotten oranges haven't done anything yet. I'll be off to Tokyo to do the mission in a few days."

The Atobe family has invested a lot in cooperation with the magic world in recent years. Even if the old guys in the general office are confused, they know that they cannot cut off their own source of income.

As for money, who would complain about having too much?

The four omitted a lot of information in their conversation. Yukimura Seiichi probably guessed that the technical school would give them tasks on a regular basis.

The Director's Office? Is it like a school committee? It sounds like it's targeting Ryouna.

"Sorry to interrupt," Yukimura Seiichi asked, his expression serious and doubtful. "Is the Directorate General a member of the School Committee? The School Committee can report to the Education Bureau regarding students."

Panda laughed out loud, thinking that Ryona, the prospective boyfriend, was quite interesting.

Yukimura Seiichi: Thank you ^_^

"Education Bureau? What is that?" Maki heard it for the first time and subconsciously looked at Ryona.

Can it really be managed?

She has been dissatisfied with the general department for a long time and is settling all the new and old grudges.

Goujuanji also looked dazed. How could this be possible?

"Salmon roe?"

"Don't think about it. You can't." Liang Nai broke the fantasy of the two.

If she could, Kirihara Ryouna would have written hundreds of letters of denunciation to bring down Old Orange. Would she still need to make plans and use roundabout tactics?

Maki and Inumaki Satoru still took note of it silently, and Panda was just joining in the fun. That night, the three of them went back to the high school and wrote three long letters of complaint to accuse the general directorate.

So the next day, the poor moth received a follow-up call from the Education Bureau.

Noctua: You little bastards, don’t you think you’ve caused enough trouble to the technical college?

It seems that it is too early to be relieved, this school is still not serious.

but……

Yukimura Seiichi tilted his head, only Ryouna's figure in his eyes.

He believed in Liang Nai, and believed that no matter what kind of danger it was, it could be solved.

Maki slammed her hand on the table, "Stop, you've led me astray."

"Just one quick question. When will you return to the Polytechnic?"

She looked at Yukimura Seiichi with caution.

"Let me be clear, I have no control over your love life, but if you don't complete your missions or return to the Polytechnic Institute because of that pretty boy next to you, that eyepatch bastard will definitely make the Polytechnic Institute a complete mess."

What do you mean by love? Maki, what nonsense are you talking about!

Ryona screamed in fear.

Falling in love? Mei, who was quietly listening to her older brothers and sisters chatting, had a vague idea of ​​the term. She had only heard it when watching TV with her mother.

They said on TV that when you are in love, you have to be boyfriend and girlfriend. In order to prove that her idea is correct, Mei chooses to ask if she doesn't understand.

Mei and Panda whispered to each other, "Brother Panda, are you talking about sister Ryona and brother?"

Panda also imitated Mei's style and whispered.

"Yes, this is their little secret."

Ryona, who was sitting opposite her, blushed crimson and hurriedly explained, "Maki, stop talking nonsense! What do you mean by love?"

My whole body felt like a steam train, and my head was buzzing.

She and Yukimura? Not suitable, not suitable. Just imagining it made Ryouna's temperature rise a level.

I can't even imagine talking to Yukimura or falling in love with him, and it's too much now!

Maki didn't bother to look at Ryouna's reaction, and narrowed her eyes to look at the calm boy next to her.

Is that wrong? The guy next to him not only didn't refute, but was actually in a very good mood.

Ryouna's attitude towards them and Yukimura is clearly completely different.

Seeing that Ryouna was about to be cooked, Yukimura began to explain.

"Maki-senpai, you misunderstood. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

It is undeniable that this misunderstanding is wonderful for him, but if Ryouna-senpai is distressed, then this misunderstanding is unnecessary.

Not yet, but maybe in the future, the three people opposite gave him admiring looks.

Maki's feeling was right. This person was also a dangerous person among ordinary people.

Ryouna, whose thoughts were still hazy, didn't notice anything wrong with Yukimura's explanation.

They tacitly changed the subject.

Panda is humorous and witty, and Yukimura Seiichi gets along very well with him. Surprisingly, he can also chat with Inumaki Satoru.

In fact, it is understandable. As long as Yukimura Seiichi wants to make friends with someone, no one will hate him.

The 80% favorability rating among the entire tennis club is no joke.

Apart from Maki, Yukimura Seiichi was the only one who suffered a setback this time.

Maki didn't mean anything else, she was simply worried that Ryouna would lose her ambition because of Yukimura Seiichi.

The 8 o'clock TV series that Panda watched some time ago were all played out like that, where the heroine gave up the opportunity to study abroad for love.

Panda’s cell phone rang. It was a call from the assistant supervisor.

"...Shinjuku? I see."

"Mission?" Ryouna frowned. There were several missions in one day. Was the entire world of curse magic dead?

"Just because there are fewer people on missions doesn't mean there will be fewer missions."

Panda slumped on the table, letting Mei rub and poke his ears.

"Come back quickly! Those rotten oranges don't treat us as human beings."

"Thank you for your hard work. It will be fine after a while." Liangnai felt heartbroken for three seconds.

After this period of time, their plan will soon begin to show results.

Panda squatted down and looked at Meiyi at eye level, "Meiyi, brother and sister are leaving, can we play together next time?"

"Okay~"

Mei gave Panda a sweet farewell hug, followed by Inugami Satoru.

When it came to Maki, Mei looked up and gave an even sweeter smile.

"Maki-sister! Give me a hug!" Her voice was firm, without the shyness she had at the beginning.

The word "sister" made Maki dazed, as if Mayi had called her in such a sweet voice before.

The restless atmosphere softened instantly, and she squatted down and awkwardly embraced the child's innocence.

"I'll bring you some candy next time." His tone was stiff, yet gentle.

"Mei will remember!"

——

"We're back!" Mei returned home first, leaving her brother behind.

"You're back?" Yukimura's mother happily nuzzled into her daughter. "Did you have fun?"

"Happy!" Mei nodded vigorously.

"What about your favorite sister Ryouna?" Yukimura's mother asked.

There must have been a lot of romance happening in the amusement park, and I wonder if there has been any progress in Jing City.

“Happy too!”

Meiyi's mood became excited, and her tone was innocent and cute, "Mom, Meiyi will tell you the secret of my brother..."

"What secret?" Yukimura's mother cooperated.

"Brother is dating sister Ryona!"

Yukimura's mother looked at Yukimura Seiichi who had just entered the entrance with surprise.

"Son, you're in love!"

Yukimura Seiichi, who had just entered the door, slowly asked a question: How come he didn't know?

Leisure time is always short. Liangnai couldn't help but sigh. She started to miss it as soon as it ended.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

"Ryouna-san, we're here."

Looking at the building that looked like Buckingham Palace, Ryona swallowed as normal.

"As expected of a top chaebol..."
