A friend might be impossible, but a brother-in-law might be possible

When Haru returned, he told his experience to both Maya and Sumire.

"Huh? Tatsuya-san has challenged you?" Maya raised her eyebrow and felt weird.

"Is it something weird?" Haru asked.

"You might already know about it, but Tatsuya's mother, who is also my sister, has used her magic to erase all strong desires, so there isn't a need for him to feel challenged toward you," May said.

"Well, there might be one, right?" Haru said.

"For what reason?" Maya asked.

"It's for her sister," Haru said.

"....." Maya and Sumire.

"A feeling for a sister, as an older brother, it is normal for Tatsuya to feel such a thing," Haru said.

"Say, did you do something to Maya's niece?" Sumire asked.

Maya didn't say anything but stared at Haru.

"Nothing, but I feel like Tatsuya might seem jealous when he saw me quite close with her sister," Haru said.

Maya and Sumire looked at Haru and had to admit that this guy's power in a relationship was too dangerous, right? After all, even with glasses that made his appearance normal, he was still able to make many girls fall for him.

"So, how did you feel after fighting him?" Maya asked curiously.

"Well, it's just so-so," Haru said simply. "His magic is powerful, but his reaction's time is still quite slow, and I can defeat him, so there's nothing special." He had stolen Tatsuya's Elemental Sights, so Tatsuya, at this moment, was nothing special.

Tatsuya's "Decomposition" and "Regrowth" might be powerful, but without an Elemental Sight, the power of both abilities would be lowered several times or a hundred times? But it showed how necessary Elemental Sight for Tatsuya was. After all, without this ability, unless Tatsuya connected his brain with a computer, there was no way for him to calculate the various data in this world instantly, so without it, he couldn't use both of his "Decomposition" and "Regrowth" that easily too.

Haru had stolen that Elemental Sight, but he wouldn't tell anyone about it since it was very troublesome to explain.

Maya nodded and thought that Haru was stronger than Tatsuya, which made her feel relief. She laid her head on his shoulder and said, "By the way, you should be careful since something might happen at your school."

"What's wrong?" Haru asked.

"Blanche," Maya said.

Blanche is an International Anti-Magic Political Organization whose manifesto called for an end to political systems that treated magicians as superior and eliminated differences in treatment caused by the presence of magical abilities.

Maya explained that this organization had penetrated the First High School, which was pretty much very troublesome.

Haru nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful, and I'll protect both your niece and nephew."

"Well, that's true. You're there after all." Maya nodded with a smile.

Haru thought for a while that the reason why both Miyuki and Tatsuya had always been together was because of Maya's accident. He looked at Maya and caressed her head gently, but then he asked, "By the way, what have you been doing?" He knew that Sumire and Maya had been staying together from time to time, which made him curious about what they were doing.

"It's a secret," Maya said with a smile.

"Yes, it is a secret between a woman," Sumire said with a smile.

"........" Haru looked at the two of them and somehow wasn't sure what to say for a moment.

"Well, how about we rest first? It's quite late, after all," Sumire said.

"Agree." Sumire nodded without hesitation.

Haru then looked at the women then. Without hesitation, they started to play a game, an enjoyable game together.

After his loss against Haru, Tatsuya went to visit Kokonoe Yakumo together with Miyuki.

"What? Have you lost? In physical combat too? In an instant?!" Yakumo was dumbfounded when he heard that someone could defeat Tatsuya instantly in terms of physical ability. After all, as Tatsuya's master, he knew very well how strong Tatsuya was.

Tatsuya was strong, and to defeat him, Yakumo even needed to use magic, showing how strong Tatsuya's physical ability was, but that Tatsuya was defeated by Haru, which made Yakumo became dumbfounded.

"Are you serious?" Yakumo asked.

"Yes." Tatsuya sighed and said, "I have lost to him in terms of physical ability and combat."

"......" Yakumo then fell into silence, then smiled."Isn't that good that you have lost?"

Tatsuya raised his eyebrow and asked, "Is it good? I don't think so." He didn't feel that his loss was good for him, or rather, he felt very uncomfortable by his loss which made him unable to understand Yakumo's words.

"It's good that you have lost, so that means you can become better." Yakumo patted Tatsuya's shoulder and said, "Tatsuya, you have realized that you're strong, right? You're so strong that no one can be your opponent now, but today you have lost, which means someone is stronger than you. This person can be your opponent, and he can become your target so you can become stronger in the future. Think of him as your rival, so you can develop your ability better." He didn't think that it was a bad thing for his student to lose, but at the same time, he became curious about this Rokkaku Haruka, who had defeated Tatsuya, who was known as his strongest student.

Tatsuya raised his eyebrow and started to think of the words that Yakumo had said.

Miyuki looked at Tatsuya's reaction and sighed in relief somehow, after all, she could see that he was better, and at the same time, when she thought about Yakumo's words, it might be good for her brother to have a rival too, after all, she knew how strong her brother was and how a lot of people to be scared of her brother, but if someone was able to match him, then he wouldn't be scary existence anymore.

But Miyuki had to admit that Haru was amazing, her older brother was amazing that he was able to develop a lot of technologies and became a legendary mechanic, but on the other hand, even though Haru couldn't develop something like her brother did, his influence was scary and the way he gathered his money was also frightening, he thought if both of them combined together, it gave her a shudder, thinking that the world would be in their palm. She thought for a while, and it might be good if both of them became friends, though, if Haru knew what she was thinking, then he could only say that it was impossible, but it was possible for him to become Tatsuya's brother-in-law by marrying Miyuki, though.
