Speaking of which, could they be considered a trio of Yotsuba family members who had been reorganized?

Then, when he drove the car out of the garage, Miyuki couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise:

"Brother Zhenxun, your car...?"

"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Mahiro opened the car door and got out, walking around the car and admiring it carefully.

With its sky-blue exterior, smooth lines, and a prominent trident logo at the front, it exudes a luxurious, sophisticated, and high-class feel.

This was something he had specially brought back from the world of black bullets; it was one of the few things he could actually use.

"No...Does Miyuki mean this car is safe to drive on the road?"

I recognize the logo on this car; I remember seeing it in a vehicle history book.

It is a classic car brand from the early 20th century and the late 20th century.

In the late 21st century, it would be considered museum material.

Most importantly, this car runs on gasoline. Because gasoline causes pollution, it was phased out, and car dealers started to sell these new energy vehicles in a unified manner.

"Why not?"

He noticed the girl's worry, smiled, and said, "Oh, it's alright. The law doesn't explicitly prohibit driving gasoline-powered cars on the road, nor does it prohibit driving old-fashioned vehicles. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me pass the inspection even with a license plate."

Although this involved the Yotsuba family's connections.

Since things had already come to this point, Miyuki didn't say anything more and got into the car with Mizuha.

Shuibo sat in the back seat, while she sat in the passenger seat.

With a faint roar from the engine starting, it slowly drove toward the nearby shrine.

-------------------------------------

It has to be said that driving a gasoline car in this era, especially such a classic large car, really guarantees a 100% head-turning rate, with countless people's eyes focused on his car along the way.

While feeling surprised, I was also amazed and appreciative.

After nearly half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at the meeting place.

Wow, Miyuki, you're so beautiful!

This was the first greeting they received upon their arrival.

Wearing a long dress and a fur-trimmed coat, Mizuki cast a rapturous gaze at Miyuki, and that burning gaze gave Shinsuke a strange sense of déjà vu.

She seems to resemble Mayumi's younger sister, Nanakusa Izumi...

"Happy New Year, Zhenxun!"

Honoka, who was also wearing a kimono like Miyuki, was probably intimidated by Miyuki's beauty and powerful aura, and felt a little ashamed at first.

But upon noticing the gentle gaze from Mahiro, he immediately resumed his energetic smile.

"Happy New Year, Honoka, you look beautiful today."

"Yes, really? That's great, thank you..."

Honoka smiled happily, but was a little shy, looking down at her clothes.

This wasn't just polite talk; Honoka's image was indeed very striking.

The pale yellow color really complements Honoka's orange short hair and fair skin, not to mention that her bust size is even larger than Miyuki's, which is enough to fill out the fitted kimono.

However, besides him and Miyuki, the only other people who gathered here today were Honoka and Mizuki.

Everyone else is busy.

Mori-senpai went to help Mayumi receive the guests visiting Nanagusa's house; Erika was also too busy taking care of her family affairs because the dojo had many disciples.

□ has already gone to study abroad and can only send New Year's greetings via video.

Finally, there's Sayaka, who went to Hokkaido with her father, Yuzo Mibu, and couldn't return for a while.

"By the way, who is this...?"

Mizuki noticed the girl following behind Mahiro and asked her a question.

"Her name is Sakurai Minami, and she's like my younger sister. She was arranged by the main family and lives with me, taking care of my daily life."

As Mahiro introduced them, he pushed the girl following behind him forward, gesturing for her to greet the two of them.

"Yes, I am Sakurai Minami, Mahiro-sama's younger sister. Please take care of me!"

"Hello, I am Honoka Mitsui, and I am Mahiro's classmate."

"Hello, Ms. Sakurai, I'm Shibata Mizuki..."

Compared to the lively Honoka, Mizuki is slightly more quiet and gentle.

There's nothing I can do; she's just that kind of insecure girl.

He clearly possessed talents that would make all the ancient magic families who commanded elves envious, not to mention that his enhanced strength had surpassed that of most magicians.

But after getting to know each other, Honoka suddenly realized something important.

"If Ms. Sakurai is in charge of Mahiro's daily life... wouldn't that be like being a maid? Like a personal maid in a brothel."

"what...."

As soon as Honoka finished speaking, Mizuki immediately realized something from it and let out a small gasp, her fair face gradually turning red.

This is clearly a scenario imagined from some kind of R18 doujinshi.

Looking at Mizuki, Miyuki smiled and kindly reminded her, "Mizuki, don't overthink it. Mizuki and Mahiro don't have the kind of relationship you're imagining."

"Ah...sorry."

Mizuki bowed her head deeply in apology, but when she looked up, a new question arose in her mind.

"But if Yotsuba's family arranged for her to come, does that mean Mahiro has already returned to Yotsuba's house?"

This wasn't just something Mizuki was curious about; Honoka was also very concerned.

"Not really, perhaps it's just that my family's attitude towards me has changed?"

"That's it..."

Mizuki muttered softly, while Honoka seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Only Sakurai Mizumi blinked her amber eyes, staring intently at Mahiro.

She didn't quite understand.

Madam Mingming was very fond of Young Master Zhenxun. During the time she worked for the main family, she often mentioned Young Master Zhenxun.

Moreover, on his way here, he spoke highly of Master Zhenxun.

Why would Master Shinji say that?

Was it because of the adults who separated from the family?

Without dwelling on the matter too much, the five of them headed towards the main shrine.

The sight of various vendors lining both sides of the road to the shrine was almost identical to that of the early 20th century, which surprised Mahiro somewhat.

After all, what is the most interesting thing about Japan?

Aside from Akihabara, a mecca for anime and manga fans, and certain shady businesses, the only thing that interests him in Japan is the festival vendors.

The group didn't take any special detours. They briefly visited the surrounding vendors, bought a few candied apples, tried out the water balloon, and then climbed the long staircase through the sacred gate to enter the courtyard in front of the worship hall.

However, upon arriving here, Makoto's steps suddenly paused slightly.

He sensed a subtle gaze, not the curious scrutiny he had felt before, but a gaze more like a spying.

Moreover, the owner of this gaze seems rather clumsy, as if they have absolutely no stealth skill points.

Putting aside the fact that the spying was poorly done, the person himself was also quite conspicuous.

She was a blonde beauty with strikingly bright hair and eyes.

However, judging from his appearance, he should be of mixed race.

But what's most striking is her strange outfit.

The short, off-white kimono is decorated with a white fur trim around the shoulders and a ruffled hem. A large bow is tied at the chest with the kimono's sash.

Below, her fair and slender legs were exposed, and she was wearing a pair of white over-the-knee boots.

There was no trace of stockings at all; could it be that she was wearing plain shoes?

If it were porridge, the guy would definitely love it.

At first glance, this outfit resembles that of an underground idol from the millennium era, which is quite out of step with the times.

Moreover, even when he looked at her, the girl pretended to be a tourist and did not act like she was spying at all, even though she was already exposed to the most obvious extent.

"...She's a very pretty girl."

Miyuki also noticed the girl, and after carefully examining her, she gave this assessment.

"Really? Although the styles are different, I still think you're prettier, Miyuki."

"Hmm... Brother Mahiro, you usually use this kind of talk to win over girls, right?"

Although her words were a slightly disgruntled rebuttal, Miyuki's cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes darted around, showing no intention of attacking; on the contrary, she seemed quite pleased.

"No way." Mahiro spread his hands and said, "I'm telling the truth. The combination of the younger sister attribute and the cold beauty attribute is very rare, not to mention that Miyuki's beauty is obvious to all."

"Um... Brother Masahiro, please don't say such strange things in public."

Miyuki's face was completely flushed red from his touch.

His gaze fell on the girl again.

It's quite unexpected that the Stars would target this area first...

I originally thought I would go and cause trouble for Tatsuya first.

After all, the danger of "mass explosion" is far greater than that of someone as harmless as him.

Is it because Tatsuya is in FLT and can't infiltrate there?

"Hello, miss, have we met before? Why are you staring at me?"

Rather than waiting to die, Mahiro chose to take the initiative and went straight to the girl who was hiding everywhere.

This action surprised Honoka and Mizuki.

"...Shall I... strike up a conversation?"

"No, Mizuki, it's that girl has been observing Mahiro-nii, so Mahiro-nii seems to want to tease her a little. He's really up to no good."

Despite this, Miyuki couldn't stop smiling; she was already prepared to watch the show.

However, after her explanation, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought that Zhenxun had seen a pretty girl and that's why he went up to chat her up. If that's the case, then that's a bit too much.

The blonde girl who was spying on them panicked for a moment when she saw her target talking to her.

But she quickly calmed down, meeting his gaze with her crystalline blue eyes and saying:

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You looked like someone I know, so I stared at you for a little longer."

"Really? You've been watching for quite a while, from the main hall all the way to the side hall. Have you seen it clearly now?"

The words were full of teasing, which the girl could tell, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.

"...What do you want?"

"I don't mean anything by it." Mahiro shrugged. "I was just saying, just venting. Maybe you should get a pair of glasses, that would be better."

"Thank you for your suggestion, I'll consider it. But could you please move aside? I'm leaving."

"Please."

Makoto stepped aside, making room for the girl to pass.

The other person simply brushed past without a word and left down the long staircase.

She only breathed a heavy sigh of relief after she was out of Yotsuba Mahiro's sight and back in her temporary rented apartment.

"Welcome back, Lina."
