The Irregular at Magical Worlds

Like a wife welcoming her husband home, Nanagusa Mayumi skillfully and effortlessly took the denim outfit that Kushima Mitsunori had hung on his arm.

"It wasn't hard at all, it's only natural that I won!"

Kushima Mitsunori said somewhat guiltily.

"really?"

Mayumi Nanakusa looked at Mitsunori Kushima with a meaningful expression.

"Of course..."

Kushima Mitsunori would never admit that he almost messed things up today.

He originally thought that with the remaining power of his thoughts, Jiang Hui would at most explode five of his ice pillars and then collapse due to the exhaustion of his thoughts.

But who knew that, just like in the novels, he managed to forcefully activate [Explosion] despite his mental exhaustion.

If I hadn't used my full strength at that crucial moment, I might have let Ichijou Hikaru steal my base first.

"Is that so? Then I won't ask any more questions. As long as we won, that's all that matters!"

It'll be available tomorrow! Should I, as part of the normal procedure, try to elicit a sob story?

Let's forget about it! After all, I've already mentally prepared myself.

I've already organized my thoughts during this time.

I'll post five 5-word chapters at 12 PM tomorrow, and I'll throw all the drafts I've saved up over the past few days into it.

As usual, I'll set up a bounty. This was copied and pasted from a pro, so I feel a little presumptuous!

One hundred blades per chapter

One chapter for every 100 monthly votes

The bounty will be offered starting tomorrow when I begin posting chapters, and will last for one week. I will upload screenshots after that.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Ball [Please Subscribe]

The atmosphere in the hall was completely different from the tense atmosphere two weeks ago; a peaceful atmosphere enveloped the banquet.

Now that the competition is over, and we're not life-or-death enemies, there's no need to maintain that tense atmosphere.

Although they are still young, it is impossible for them to be completely unconcerned about winning or losing.

However, after ten days of intense competition, most students actually become much more amiable due to the reaction of excessive tension.

The post-match party was again organized by the event organizers, and the students still wore their respective school uniforms as their formal attire.

The girls also wore tulle skirts that they don't usually wear.

After politely declining the offer from the fourth girl who approached him to dance, Kushima Mitsunori hid in a corner, trying to make himself less conspicuous.

"He's really popular, Kushima-kun."

Watanabe Mari teased Kushima Mitsunori with a mischievous grin.

"If possible, I would like to have some peace and quiet."

Perhaps it's because he's been too prominent in the Nine Schools Tournament these past few days!

Furthermore, the news that he would soon be engaged to Mayumi Nanagusa has not yet spread, which clearly shows that he is now seen as an excellent potential prospect by some families.

Handsome, capable, and from a powerful family.

It's estimated that many family patriarchs have already secretly signaled to their younger generations to see if they can find an opportunity with them.

Moreover, most of them are small families and merchant families with relatively weak magical influence, even though they all know that even if their daughters succeed, they will not become the legal wife.

However, if they could obtain genetic material from Mitsunobu Kushima, they might be able to give birth to a child with excellent magical aptitude, which would already be considered a huge gain.

"There's nothing we can do! After all, they don't know about you and Mayumi, so let's just bear with it for now!"

Watanabe Mari covered her mouth while patting Kushima Mitsunori on the shoulder.

She was clearly pleased to see Kushima Mitsunori's discomfiture.

"Watanabe-senpai, have you seen Masahiro Sango?"

When Kushima Mitsunori entered the banquet hall, he deliberately looked for Ichijo Shōki among the three high school students, originally intending to ask about Ichijo Shōki's condition.

But he searched the entire venue and couldn't find either Jiang Hui or Shiwon George.

"What do you want with him? Are you going to continue to undermine him?"

"How could that be! I just wanted to ask about his condition."

Kushima Mitsunori rolled his eyes at Watanabe Mari, annoyed. Even if Watanabe's personality was a bit nasty, he wasn't so nasty as to rub salt into someone's wounds.

Seeing that other girls from different schools were walking towards him, Kushima Mitsunori couldn't help but frown.

"Alright, I'll help you out here!"

Just as Watanabe Mari was about to help Kushima Mitsunori get rid of the girl, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure walking towards them out of the corner of his eye.

"Once the princess who's rescuing the prince on his white horse is here, I won't bother you any longer."

Watanabe Mari wisely withdrew from the stage, and was replaced by Nanagusa Mayumi, whose long hair was loose and flowing.

"Oh my! Oh my! My Guangxuan is really popular!"

Her large eyes formed crescent moons, her head was slightly tilted, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Aren't you the same way about this?"

Kushima Mitsunori shrugged helplessly. There were already quite a few people surrounding Nanagusa Mayumi since earlier.

However, the people surrounding Mayumi Nanakusa were not the same swarms of admirers as those around Mitsunori Kushima.

Surrounding Nanakusa Mayumi were executives from various companies, members of parliament from the political arena, and military officers. These people all wanted to contact the Nanakusa family through Nanakusa Mayumi.

This is also why Kushima Mitsunori didn't step forward to stop him; if he really had ulterior motives, he would have already gone up to him.

After all, women and men are different, and Mayumi Nanagusa's marriage partner could not be chosen from those small families, so naturally no one was tactless enough to harass her.

Of course, if you dare to harass someone, you should first test whether you can withstand the pressure from the Nanagusa family.

"Our situations are clearly different!"

Mayumi Nanakusa pouted, feeling that Mitsunori Kushima was trying to twist the facts for her.

While he was diligently discussing official business, he was enjoying being surrounded by beautiful women.

Just then, the orchestral music resumed.

This is the prelude to the start of a new dance.

"In that case, should we show them something substantial to discourage them?"

Kushima Mitsunori took a slight step back, bent down slightly, and extended his hand to Nanagusa Mayumi.

"Oh dear! Is Guangxuan trying to use me as a shield?"

Mayumi Nanakusa happily placed her little hand into Mitsunori Kushima's palm.

Kushima Mitsunori, who was holding Nanagusa Mayumi's small hand, did not get up immediately. Instead, he gently touched Nanagusa Mayumi's fair and delicate hand with his lips.

Kushima Mitsunori's actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone except the students of No. 1 High School.

After all, Mayumi Nanagusa's engagement is not yet finalized. Even though she was invited to dance at previous balls, no one has ever made such a transgression as kissing her hand.

Shocked, incredulous, dumbfounded.

The boys and girls who had fantasized about Kushima Mitsunori and Nanakusa Mayumi clutched their chests in sorrow, for it was a love affair that ended before it even began.

"So, Mayumi, are you willing to be my shield?"

Kushima Mitsunori, who did not get up immediately, asked again.

"Of course, I'd be delighted!"

This was something that Nanagusa Mayumi simply couldn't refuse. In fact, this was the very reason she had escaped those politicians and come to Kushima Mitsunori's place.

Mayumi Nanagusa moved closer to him, close enough that she could feel each other's breath.

Her soft, delicate body naturally leaned against Kushima Mitsunori, her slender, white arms draped over his shoulders.

Kushima Mitsunori gently put his arm around her back.

Their eyes met, and they both exchanged knowing smiles.

As the music began, the two, both well-educated, were naturally adept at this kind of dance.

Take a step and begin the dance.

Under the dazzling lights, the two twirled gracefully in the center of the venue.

This is the best spot that everyone subconsciously reserved for this perfect couple.

In the ever-rotating field of vision, only Mayumi Nanagusa remained directly in front of Mitsunori Kushima.

Only Mitsunori Kushima remained directly in front of Mayumi Nanakusa.

In a world that spirals endlessly, only the two of them gaze at each other.
