t he had connections with those who orchestrated the surveillance.

Returning to Izu, Tatsuya met with his information provider, who returned before him and waited for him in the villa’s living room.

-Hyogo-san, today you have taken good care of various affairs.

“Tatsuya, you have also worked well today.

Hyogo stood opposite the Sevshego on the chair Tatsuya. Naturally, Tatsuya was not going to get up, and Hyogo stubbornly was not going to sit down. In addition, Tatsuya called him “Hyogo-san ” Not because they befriended, but to distinguish him from his father, who, like Hyogo, is the butler of the family Jocuba.

No, I just took Miyuki. Yes, thanks for the info on attacker.

Under the information about attacker was meant the case when the terrorist shot at Tacuju. To tell the truth, Tatsuya was informed in advance Hyogo that among the crowding of the first school reporters can hide murderers.

“Everything went well?

Yes. Although it was unexpected that he was the only one.

-to Miyuki-did not get wounds from stray bullets, we have taken care in advance to reduce their number.. Were these unnecessary actions?

-Reduce the number? Got it.. No, I think it was reasonable.

Thank you for your praise.

Hyogo bowed, putting his hand on his chest.

-it seems that among the amaze shooting on Tatsuo-the media staff could begin some excitement. There were reports that they had begun to see hints that there could be a connection between that armed terrorist and the anti- magic movement.

-it seems that it was expedient to give him a shot.

“For people who do not deal with weapons, the scene in which they shoot a man is quite shocking, even if the victim is their sworn enemy. And this time, because of the fact that Tatsuya-itself was catching bullets, leaving them in the same form, the impression was even stronger. I suspect that the effect of this will begin to spread gradually.

Would it be better if I was injured?

Probably, yes. However, Miyuki-herself would be saddened if Tatsuya-herself shed blood, so stop the bullets was the best solution.

Really. There would be a reverse effect if Miyuki lost her head and her magic would get out of control.

Tatsuya sarcastically chuckled, saying this, but Hyogo bowed, pretending not to notice it.

Like these two said, Tatsuya deliberately gave the terrorist a shot at him. Although the terrorist was not a fake in itself, but before the plan of attack was known, two people were preparing to play that role.

“The original plan was to let them know that if they were close to the wizards, they could be attacked by supporters of the antimagic movement.

I think this warning came to them. I am also thinking of preparing a few reports that Antimagisty is a hateful terrorist for all.

I’ll leave it to you.

As you wish.

Hyogo bowed again, putting his hand on his chest, and his face looked happy perhaps from the fact that he enjoyed this backstage work.

In addition to the villa where Tatsuya lived, the Jocuba family had another property in Izu. It was a small separate house from which it was possible to follow resting in Villa Mia, not disturbing it.

Among all Jocuby, Mia was the only owner of magic with unique properties. Even if she was overloaded with the use of magic and could not fully work as a magician, but still expected that it will try to kidnap all sorts of vile hunters for this unique skill.

In fact, there were as many as three attacks to kidnap Mia, and all of them were repulsed, so the construction of the house was not an unnecessary concern. However, after Mia’s death, the house was abandoned and only occasionally visited to maintain order.

Although all this time Tatsuya resided only in the villa, the possibility of using that house after a long downtime was also checked.

Mrs. We did not find any problems with furniture, appliances and other accessories.

Thank you for your work.

Tsukuba Yuka, the eldest daughter of the Tsukuba family, one of the side branches of the Jocuba family, nodded generously.

-If the luggage is transported, can you take the case?

It was the evening of the day when Tatsuya dined with Maya, discussing how to react to the information war announced by two Clarks, Edward and Raymond. It goes without saying that Yuka visited this little house not for entertainment. and to complete the task entrusted to the head of the family Jocuba.

The work entrusted to Maya family Tsukuba was to erect a “cleansing from people ” barrier, which should keep the media from approaching the villa on which the Tatsuya dwells. Such spells are a speciality of ancient magic, and modern magic was not initially focused on such activity. But among all families with a family relationship with Jocuboj, the Tsukuba family was best specialized in the magic of mental intervention. Using such conditions to activate the magic that the duration is increased by decreasing the power, you can build barriers not worse than the users of ancient magic.

They arrived at the observation house already in the evening, so when the installation of the barrier was completed, it was already dark. If you can use magic, it doesn’t mean that you can see in the dark. Night vision is a magical ability.

“Madam, a suspicious person has been found.”

“Uh, where?”

That’s why Yuka didn’t notice that man.

—.. Oh, I see. Looks like he’s watching the villa on which Tatsuya-san is located.

A suspicious man was dressed in a dark blue jacket and trousers, which were poorly distinguishable in the dark, and had binoculars hanging on his neck. Even at the place where he stood, one could come to the conclusion that he, as said Yuka, came to watch the activity of Tatsuya.

Subordinates Yuki spotted this man with a newly created barrier. This barrier, created under the guidance of Yuki, interferes with the idea that people can not recognize the existence of the villa, which is Tatsuya. The principle of action is the same as that of “ghost step ” Zhou Gunczinja and Chen Sjanshjenja. The eyes see something, but the consciousness thinks it doesn’t see it.

And how does that affect the person who was watching the villa right before the barrier was erected? He’d think the villa was suddenly gone.

No wonder he may accidentally stop hiding his presence.

Conversely, if this person did not even flinch, it would mean that he has the skills to hide his presence from Yuki and her subordinates.

Grab him. Not to kill. No serious injuries.

Taken.

The wizards accompanying the Yuka, dissolved in the darkness, leaving one of them as its guard.

-In any case, Tatsuya-San certainly noticed him..

Yuka looked at the villa where Tatsuya was located. The bright light from the windows made the villa noticeable in the dark.

Hardly Tatsuya did not notice that behind it peeping. It seems that he left that man because he came to the conclusion that there would be no real harm from him. Or he thought that even if he catches him, then the follow-up action on the issue can be a troublesome affair.

This man hid on the land belonging to the villa. All surrounding areas were the property of the Jocuba family (more precisely the real estate company, which was secretly managed by the Jocuba family). But there were no fences and fences there. Even if the offender is apprehended under the pretext of an unlawful invasion, he can pretend that he has not noticed and in retaliation to accuse of exceeding the necessary measures.

— .. Looks like he’s decided to throw those difficulties at us.

Tatsuya should have noticed not only a suspicious person, but also a group of Yuki. He thought he didn’t have to get his hands dirty. Yuka deeply sighed, remembering the face of his not-so-sweet distant relative.

-the chapter-itself, the construction of the barrier is completed without delay.

Good work.

After completing the interrogation of a suspicious person, Yuka returned to a small house and called Maya with a report.

“After that, we discovered a suspicious type, watching the tacuej-dignity, caught him and interrogated him. and?

Maya slightly rounded eyes, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, forming a smile.

Did you determine his affiliation?

It was the agent of the Tomita family.

-Tomita of a hundred families.. I think they were on a special account with the Magic Association, didn’t they?

Yes. The observation of tacuej-dignity was conducted on the proposal of the Magic Association.

-Clear..

Maya nodded with a charming smile on her face. Yuka felt a chill on her back, but she somehow managed to keep her face calm.

-According to the agent of the family Tomita, he had no intention to cause harm. Apparently, the Magic Association thought that Tatsuya-san would try to hide somewhere.

Clear.

We still have the agent. What do we do with it?

Let him go. No need to erase memory.

— .. Will it be okay?

Yes. Our family Jocuba never abandons their people. It is necessary to remind about this magic Association.

“.. Too impertinently, “Yuka unwittingly thought so. At least she didn’t say it out loud.

If we remember the circumstances in which it was tatsuya until last year, it is quite a good impression.

No, it’s not just the past. Yuka believed that the duel with the head of the reveals family was a battle that he had to go alone as the one who would become the husband of the next head of the Jocuba family. But at the same time she felt that not to take any measures against the military Intelligence Department was quite brutal on the part of Jocuby.

You wanted to say something else?

-Yes, but it does not apply to the task.

Yuka answered Maya’s question immediately, as if she were not thinking of anything superfluous. By such abilities Yuka was in the first place among four candidates for the right to be the next head of the family.

I don’t mind.

“My mother is concerned that the seal of Tatsuya-Sana has disappeared.

“Worried ” is a rather discreet description, isn’t it?

Even if Maya was joking, Yuka couldn’t refute it.

Current, Yuki’s mother, is proud of his magical powers. Of course, this kind of pride is present in every magician, but Toki had a special case. Knowing this, not only the Maya, and anyone will guess that the destruction of the vow of the current was hysterical.

-Does the head think that this is not a problem?

Instead of arguing, Yuka directly asked about Maya’s intentions.

“That the vow was scattered? Hmm, I don’t think there’s going to be a problem, but.. There’s nothing to be done about it, right?

Nothing to do?

Maya’s response surprised Yuka.

“I knew it could be dissipated in theory. But who would have thought that Tatsuya-San would be able to do something annoys the dangers of Miyuki- san?

Yes. Really.

According to the system of the vow itself, it was expected that when destroying the magic itself, the spell-supporting Miyuki could get serious damage. It was really unexpected that Tatsuya went to that risk.

“In addition, we will not be able to re-impose a vow on Tacuju-Sana.

Yuka had nothing but to admit what Maya said.

The vow imposes a heavy burden not only on the person he was applied to, but also on the one who supports the spell. And it’s not just a response to his dispelled. In a state where the vow will be active, it is daily, on a permanent basis, will harm the magic abilities of the one who supports the spell.

The current Tatsuya will not allow the use of magic that would reduce the magical abilities of Miyuki.

-When we can not do anything, it remains only to run away from reality?

This comment by Maya was an acute criticism, hidden under the guise of reproach mother Yuki, who had gone out of her own because of the destruction of the Vow.

-True.. I think you’re right. “Answered Yuka, realizing it. She answered so not because she had no choice because she submissive, but because she understood the meaning of the expression “escape from reality.”
