Makoto: So, this is what a school looks like in a world where high technology and magic coexist? Impressive.
Time Eater: The scenery isn't all that different from my own world.
Sword Princess: It looks much more organized than Orario.
White: Now I understand the kind of city Rimuru-sama envisions.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: It's still early, yet you all are quite energetic.
Time Eater: Ara~ ara~ is that not allowed?
Tatsuya Yotsuba: Ahem. I never said it wasn't.
Time Eater: Kukuku~ you seem rather popular with the female students. What a sinful man you are.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: …
Sword Princess: With Tatsuya's appearance, it's only natural that he's popular.
White: I agree.
Makoto: +1.
Tatsuya felt a bit better after being defended by Ais and Testarossa. He deliberately ignored Makoto's comment; it felt strange to place him on the same level as the two women.
"Onii-sama?" Miyuki's soft voice caught Tatsuya's attention.
"Mm, what is it?"
"Nothing... I was just worried because you seemed lost in thought the whole way," Miyuki replied, her voice tinged with concern and her eyes shimmering like a pathetic, adorable kitten.
Tatsuya swallowed hard, then gently stroked Miyuki's head.
Miyuki beamed with a happy smile, completely melting under his touch.
Time Eater: What a total siscon!
Makoto: +1.
Sword Princess: What is a 'siscon'?
White: Ara~ ara~.
Tatsuya could easily imagine the reactions of the group members, even though they were all in their respective worlds.
"Tatsuya-san, Miyuki, good morning!"
"Morning, Mizuki. Are you not with Erika?"
"Erika told me to head out early."
"I see."
Miyuki stepped up beside Mizuki, chatting familiarly with her as they continued their walk to school.
Once again, Tatsuya walked behind Miyuki and Mizuki. He appeared perfectly calm, though his mind was actually divided—multitasking between the chat group, scanning his surroundings, and watching the path ahead.
Makoto: Aren't you being a bit too cautious?
Tatsuya Yotsuba: No, this is a necessity. This world looks peaceful on the surface, but it's chaotic underneath.
Makoto: What do you mean?
Tatsuya Yotsuba: Out there, there are elite magicians capable of toppling nations with a single strike, organizations that thrive on inciting riots, and much more.
Makoto: I guess a beautiful-looking world isn't necessarily a peaceful one.
Time Eater: ...
Makoto hadn't intended to offend anyone, but his statement indirectly stung Kurumi.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: I can't deny that. That's enough for now; it's time to end the livestream. Don't forget, you all should stay vigilant as well.
Makoto: I know. I've already left messages for Tomoe and Mio.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: Did you get another subordinate?
Makoto: Yeah. Remember that black spider I defeated yesterday? She's transformed into a beautiful black-haired woman now. I named her Mio.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: Heheh. Don't forget to use protection if you aren't ready for a baby yet.
Makoto: What is that supposed to mean?!
Tatsuya left the chat group without answering Makoto's protest.
During lunch break, Tatsuya and Miyuki headed to the Student Council room. There, they met Mayumi, Azusa, Suzune, and a tomboyish woman with short black hair: Watanabe Mari.
Watanabe Mari was the Chair of the Public Morals Committee. Her influence at First High was easily on par with the Student Council President's.
"So, you're the one named Tatsuya? You look very promising. Nice to meet you, I'm Watanabe Mari."
"Tatsuya Yotsuba. A pleasure to meet you, Watanabe-senpai."
"Hahaha! Glad to meet you, Tatsuya!"
Watanabe Mari laughed heartily, repeatedly slapping Tatsuya on the shoulder.
Miyuki reacted instantly, slapping Mari's hand away.
"Watanabe-senpai, please do not bother my brother!" Miyuki's voice was sharp and stern, sounding quite intimidating.
"Ah, sorry. I guess you really are just like Mayumi described," Mari said, reflexively stepping back, slightly cowed by Miyuki's intensity.
"Huh?! What exactly did Mayumi-senpai tell you?!"
Miyuki glared at Mayumi, demanding an explanation. Mayumi simply gave a thin smile, winking her ruby eyes with a mischievous expression.
"..." Miyuki fell silent, looking at Tatsuya as if pleading for help.
Tatsuya sighed, looking directly at Mayumi.
"Please stop teasing Miyuki, Mayumi-san."
Mayumi immediately pouted.
"You're always so quick to act when it involves Miyuki."
"That's not it. I'm just trying to be a good older brother," Tatsuya replied while patting Miyuki's head.
"Onii-sama..." Miyuki was moved. She leaned into Tatsuya's embrace, then shot a smirk toward Mayumi.
"!" Mayumi was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do to win against Miyuki.
Once again, Mayumi had lost. Not because she lacked the ability, but because her starting position was simply too disadvantaged.
Tatsuya, of course, noticed these small power plays. Even so, he chose to feign ignorance, focusing instead on the lunch Miyuki had prepared for him with so much love.
As soon as lunch ended, Watanabe Mari suddenly stood up and addressed Tatsuya.
"Tatsuya-kun! How would you like to join the Public Morals Committee?" Mari smiled impatiently, looking incredibly eager for his answer.
