Chapter 53 ~ Reason: Coincidence? Luck? Or... The library of the Magic University affiliated First High school was unlike any normal Library Yuuji would know of from his world. Bonyari High School, the highschool Yuuji attended with his sisters, was one of the, if not, the most prestigious school in the city. It’s library was also quite sizable, containing thousands of reference books, text books, work books, etc. even though students rarely visit it for research purposes since they have access to uncountable information from the internet at their fingertips. But even his school’s library paled in comparison to the library in First High school. Instead of a school’s library, it’s more akin to a national library, where rare, valuable, and significant research papers and works could be accessed. That’s why, although it was impossible to access the more confidential papers, it was the best place for students such as themselves to go when they’re researching information. The entire building located right beside the main school building was dedicated for the library, storing hundreds of thousands of books, research papers, text books, etc. There were also numerous tables and computers that students and teachers could use, even private rooms with a computer for those who wished to do their research or studies in a more private environment. Sitting before one of the many computers in the row, Yuuji skimmed through the numerous pages displayed on the screen, each one densely filled with words and information with one or two images or graphs occasionally popping up to give a more accurate and visual representation about the subject described. They were information on the Emerald Tablet, Philosopher’s stone, and various other objects that were related to alchemy. And although he seemed to just be scrolling down quickly without properly reading them, he was actually reading them very carefully and absorbing every single piece of relevant and significant information into his mind at incredible speeds. Sitting right beside him, Tatsuya was also doing the same research. Yuuji was simply helping him in his research because he and Aika were the only ones who knew what he was up to. “Hm?” Just then, Yuuji and Tatsuya sensed a familiar presence rapidly approaching them. But before either one of them could react, Yuuji was suddenly pushed by a heavy, soft, and warm sensation accompanied by a fragrant flowery scent. “Heya~ What’chu doin’, guys~?” “Hello, Aika.” “A-Aika... Can you stop slamming into me as a greeting...” “Fufufu~ What’s wrong~? Don’t you love feeling my soft body all over your back~” “...Shut up. What do you want?” Aika giggled, rubbing her cheeks against Yuuji as he blushed silently. She understood her beloved boyfriend completely, after all~ And as annoying as it was, she wasn’t wrong... Her body was just so squishy, soft, and voluminous in all the right places. Even though he had enjoyed ravishing them nightly, he never got tired of it. It was physically impossible to get tired of his girlfriend’s sexy body. “Aika-chan! You should’ve waited for me.” Soon after Aika’s grand entrance, Miyuki also appeared, jogging towards them with slight exasperation on her cute face. “Hehe~ Sorry, Miyuki~ I just couldn’t wait to return to my hubby~” She let out a deep sigh before turning towards her brother with a bow. “I’m sorry for disturbing you while you were busy, onii-sama.” “It is fine. What’s wrong, Miyuki?” “Yes. Actually, you and Yuuji are called upon by Mayumi-senpai and Mari-senpai to go to the student council’s office.” “Eh? But why? Is there some trouble?” Yuuji asked, wondering what urgent business Mayumi and Mari could have with him and Tatsuya. After all, they didn’t get any prior notice, which was quite strange coming from the two. Normally, if it was something simple like Mayumi inviting him for lunch, he would get a message from her. “Hehehe~ You’re such a worrywart, Yuuji~ Of course it’s not~ It’s a good thing!” “Hm?” “Geez, just go already~! They’re already waiting for you two!” “A-Alright! Stop pushing me!” “Fufu~” “Onii-sama.” “Mm. Let’s go.” --------------------------------X-------------------------------- “Thanks to you. Well, we can catch up another time. Mayumi.” All attention turned towards the beauty of a student council president, who nodded at her friend, before addressing the newcomers. “Mm. Thank you for coming on such short notice, everyone. Mari and I have called you today to discuss about the security during the competition.” “Security? Is the Disciplinary Committee going to provide that?” Yuuji asked. He knew the answer to it, as well as Aika and Tatsuya, but he asked it regardless to confirm the details. “Not the security of the venue. The Magic Association will be hiring professionals for that.” Mari answered with her arms crossed, propping up her sizable chest, as she leaned back relaxedly to her chair. “Mm. What we wanted to discuss is personal bodyguards for each team member and people to guard the presentation materials and equipment. We will be using valuable materials at the Thesis Competition, after all.” Mayumi explained, before Mari continued. “Yes, and because they are valuable, teams for this contest are sometimes targeted by industrial spies. That’s why, our school provides security every year. The members of the security squad are chosen from the Disciplinary Committee and the Extracurricular Activities Federation. But as far as who specifically guards whom, we will respect their wishes.” “I see...” “Fufu~ And I’ll be the one to protect you, Kei~” “A-Ahahaha...” Kanon hugged her beloved fiancee’s arm tightly and rubbed her cheeks against him, showing off her love for him. Yuuji smiled slightly, seeing the two’s lovey-dovey interaction. It reminded him of his own relationship with Aika and Erika. He then turned his attention towards Suzune and Koharu, who immediately blushed and looked down to her lap in embarrassment, causing him to tilt his head slightly in confusion. “So... Am I right to assume that Tatsuya and I will be assigned as your bodyguards?” “Hanzou-kun and Kirihara-san have been assigned to be my personal bodyguards. The two of them would be enough.” Suzune answered in a matter of factly before glancing towards Koharu with a slight smile. “Kobayakawa-senpai?” “Y-Yes! U-Uhm... I-I’ve actually requested y-you, Yuuji-kun, to be my p-personal bodyguard. U-Umm... A-After seeing your performance in the NSC... A-And our personal interaction during it... I-I think you would be a great...” “I see...” Yuuji fell silent and acted as if he was considering it for a moment. In truth, this was an extremely welcomed surprise. He had been thinking how he could participate in the event for a while since Tatsuya wouldn't be participating in the competition as a participant with Koharu not withdrawing. Perhaps, he could simply go along with Aika and Tatsuya as a part of the security squad on behalf of the Disciplinary Committee of his school. But this was even better. This would give him a solid reason to be there in the venue, and especially, in Yokohama during the invasion. This is perfect. Thank you so much for this opportunity, Kobayakawa-senpai!!! He smiled at the blushing girl and nodded. “Thank you very much for your praise, Kobayakawa-senpai. It will be my honor to be your personal bodyguard. I will do my best to ensure your safety on the days leading to the competition and during the event itself. Please take care of me.” Immediately, a look of shock appeared on Koharu’s face before an expression of absolute delight appeared on her countenance. “Yes! Please take care of me as well!!!” “Great. Now then, with that settled...” Mari nodded with a satisfied smile and turned towards Tatsuya and Aika. “You two will also be a part of the security squad. If personal bodyguards’ main concern is the participant, then your main focus should be securing the perimeter and protecting the valuable materials and equipment they’ll use.” “Very well.” “Roger~ Leave it to me, Mari-senpai~”
