Chapter 1 : Revealation
Late February, AD 2097
The sun that almost set and leaving a little bit of light, indicating the end of the day and the beginning of the night, a man, riding his rather big motorcycle which has a deep black color, like the color of his outfits right now, with a speed that exceeded 90km/h in this spacious road, he rode through a bunch of tall buildings with the twist and turn of the street in Tokyo, until he arrived at his destination place, a place where he called home for about 3 to 4 years lately, this place is the house where he and his lovely sister lives, and as of late, they accepted a new occupant who will be his sister new Guardian in the later event, she has been planned by his Clan Higher ups to replace him as his sister Guardian after that announcement, the announcement about him being a direct descendant from a Clan Head who brought number 4 in their name, one of a renowned Magician Clan in his country.
Shiba Residence.
"Im home…" said a man with height that almost reaching 5'11 and possessing an athletic plus sturdy body with those piercing gaze that rarely change, except for certain person 'ehm' his sister 'ehm', with those criteria, you can describe him as warrior like person.
That guy name is Shiba Tatsuya, a living Magician and a Second Year High School Student of Magic University Affiliated First High School at Magic Engineering Course, just recently, he has been discovered as a part of the Ten Master Clan and a direct descendant no less! The Clan that he affiliated with is that infamous Yotsuba Clan, a Clan that has been considered to be the strongest Clan from the Ten Master Clan alongside the Saegusa Clan.
"Welcome home, Onii-sama", said a girl with a smile in her face while welcoming him, this girl can be considered to be the same age as him, she has an extraordinary beauty, there are almost no people who can be compared against her in terms of beauty, yes, she's the sister and also the Fiancée of Tatsuya as of right now, her name is Shiba Miyuki, the next leader of Yotsuba Clan.
In public, Miyuki cant publicy call his dear Onii-sama with his usual Onii-sama anymore, because of their circumstances, and she would call him as Tatsuya-sama instead. Because in the eyes of society, Tatsuya relationship with Miyuki is known as cousins and at the same time they're also Engaged, not as brother and sister like they used to know, it changes since the beginning of this year, but still, there are people who found this rather suspicious, like a certain senpai perhaps?
Tatsuya, after finishing his business in FLT that he thought to be a time-consuming matter that he already planned to stay overnight atleast for 1 to 2 days, is already back to his house because his business is finished faster than he thought it would, and also because of certain unexpected message from someone.
Miyuki, with her confused face, asking Tatsuya while dropping a little bit of her head to the side.
"Onii-sama, is Onii-sama forget something that makes you back to home faster than the approximated time?"
"Hm? Ohh, no Im not, my business is already done Miyuki"
Tatsuya answered his sister question with his usual smile for her.
Seeing that, Miyuki also responding that smile with hers, then she quickly wants to prepare a dinner for her older brother.
"Ohh that's good, then can you wait a bit? I will prepare a dinner for Onii-sama, Onii-sama must be hungry right?" Asked Miyuki with her enthusiasm, still maintaining her usual smile on her face like before.
"No need to rush, there are things that I wanted to ask first, just now I've got news from Hayama-san, he said that Oba-ue are calling to our house and he said that she wants to talk to me about something, what it is, did she tell you anything?" Said Tatsuya displaying his natural expression, well if that can be called expression...
Hearing that question, Miyuki face changed a little bit stiff, but it just a while so it's hard to see, if her speaking partner is not Tatsuya, maybe that person wont notice anything unusual about her expression.
"...Yes Onii-sama, this afternoon, Oba-sama had called to our house, she wants to talk directly to Onii-sama, but Onii-sama is not available at that time, so she just entrusted a message for me to give it to Onii-sama…."
Hearing that from Miyuki, Tatsuya mind start to wondering, what is the thing that his aunt wants from him?
"Message?" said Tatsuya, half asked, show his little bit of curiosity.
"Yes…, the message is…."Miyuki showing a little bit of hesitation on her face.
"hmm?"
"Onii-sama…, Onii-sama have been asked to visit Yotsuba Main House… in this weekend…" Miyuki statements makes Tatsuya raised one of his eyebrow, the right one, a sign of surprised and curiosity with that request.
"Did Oba-ue said something about the thing that she wants from me if I already there Miyuki?"
"Nope…., she just said that message earlier…" Answered Miyuki with a rather weak voices, there are some worries radiated from her face.
Tatsuya thingking for a while, then he take a decision to call his aunt, or what is known to the public as his mother, Yotsuba Maya, the Clan Head of the infamous Yotsuba Clan.
"All right then, Miyuki, please prepare dinner for me, I'll call Oba-ue for a while."
Hearing a response and a request from her beloved brother at once, Miyuki then changed her facial expression with her usual smile and answered. "Yes, Onii-sama", while bowing her head and closing her eyes, she then go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Tatsuya.
Yotsuba Main House.
A telephone rang through the house, it took a while for that phone to be noticed by said house residents, when those rang already reached 4 times ringing, then that phone call got accepted by a receiver, that receiver appeared to be a middle-aged man who appereance-wise still like a person in their 50ish, but his real age is actually already past 70 years old, he appear infront of the screen which Tatsuya faced right now, that person figure is not that big, nor it's tall, but there are some kind of prestige which radiates on his aura, if random peoples sees him, they would think that he's a wise person, that person is a trusted Butler from Yotsuba Clan Head, his name is Hayama Tadanori, seeing from the place that shown in the screen, a call from Tatsuya is being held from the living room, and there are no signs from another person right there, that's a bit unusual, thought Tatsuya.
"Good night, Tatsuya-dono." Bowing his head, Hayama greeted the caller in the screen infront of him.
Tatsuya then replying the bow with another bow, after that he said "Good night Hayama-san, is Oba-ue available right now?"
"Right now Madam is in her room while drinking tea, I'll tell her about your call right away, please wait a moment" respond Hayama from Tatsuya question, without asking him first, whether he wants to talk directly with the Ruler of the Yotsuba Main House or not, Tatsuya then wondering whether Hayama-san already know about the plan of that house ruler, what she want to do to Tatsuya if he pay a visit to the Main House this weekend.
"Thank you, Hayama-san." Said Tatsuya while bowing his head a little bit, a sign of gratitude.
After Hayama bowing his head, he shut the screen infront of him, and the screen infront of Tatsuya also turn to fade and became dark for a while, before it's back to shine again, and showing a new image infront of Tatsuya.
"Ara, I didn't expect you to call me this late at night, do you miss me? Tatsuya-san?" with her usual smile and her usual tone of voice, there, show up a beautiful woman, who looks like someone on her early 30 and with her mature-aura she carried, gave her greeting to Tatsuya.
"Haa, Oba-ue…, " Tatsuya, hearing her responsd, released his deep sigh.
A lady who becomes his speaking partner on that screen right now is the Head of the Yotsuba Clan, who known as Yotsuba Maya, one of the best Magician in the world, who wields an ephitet like Demon Lord of The Far East and Queen of The Night.
Right now, she's sitting on her personal sofa while drinking and enjoying her tea inside a room that looks like her personal room, there're some kind of expensive furnitures right there and there, there's also a bookshelf beside her, she's also wear her usual deep-red outfits, matching her mature-beauty auras.
"Did I not remind you to call me Okaa-sama Tatsuya-san? Hmm….?" Said Maya while smiling a little bit scornful.
"Well…, for me to change the way I called you that I've been used for more than 10 years or so is a bit difficult." Tatsuya replied with a little bit of smile that he rarely used especially infront of this woman.
"Hmmm starting from now on, get used to it, and remember, atleast in public places, you must always call me with Okaa-sama, if not, there may be someone who didn't have any work to do, and also don't have things to do who always try to sniffing around on our family business. " Maya replied with her scornfulness smile like before, but with 2 to 3 times higher, if Tatsuya emotion isn't limited, Maya expression probably can makes him laugh, because its kinda funny in his mind.
"Yeah, I'll kept that in mind" Answered Tatsuya without asking who's the one that has been alluded by his 'mother' and kept that question deep inside his mind.
"So…,I guess you've already got my message from Miyuki-san?" Ask Maya to Tatsuya, diverting the conversation which not really matter that much before.
"Yeah, sort of."
"Hmmm, so you called me late at night for asking my reason to summon you to the Yotsuba Main House this weekend right?"Respond Maya while playing her chin with her left hand.
"Yeah, the content of the message said that you want 'me' to come, not 'us', so I just want to know, is there any problem that you need only me to come to the Main House…..?"
With those gazes that a little bit sharp, and some wrinkle in his forehead, Tatsuya asking for the reason to Maya.
Seeing those things, makes Maya smile widely, like a child who found her new toys.
"Problem huuh…, there's no such thing, I just wanted to meet my Son in person and do a little bit of chit chat directly, since we didn't met more than 2mounths if I recall correctly."
"2mounths we didn't met you said, didn't you remember that we've already met in the last Ten Master Clan Conference before? Haa….." Tatsuya, again, releasing his deep sigh.
"Hahaha, you probably right, but we didn't even greet each other, so I hope that you'll come in this weekend, well… you can bring Miyuki-san and Minami-chan along if you wish so, as your mother, I don't mind to give you that much exception." Answered Maya with her smile, who was unexpectedly sincere.
Found that there's no intention from Maya to tell him the problems or the things that she needs from him when he already get to the Yotsuba Main House this weekend, Tatsuya think to end this conversation with giving his answer to his aunt request.
"Haa.., alright, this weekend, I'll come to the Main House as you wished, there's no need to bring Miyuki and Minami along with me, they both still have some homework to finish before the end of semester." Tatsuya responding to Maya request.
"Good, im happy to hear that" Yotsuba Maya replying Tatsuya response with her usual smile.
"Well then, Good night" Said Tatsuya while bowing his entire upper body infront of the big screen which displayed Yotsuba Maya itself.
"Good night.." After responding to Tatsuya, Maya immediately turn of the communication device without waiting Tatsuya to finish his bow and back to see the screen.
After that conversation is finished, Tatsuya released his deep sigh again and again, while thinking what's wrong so that Yotsuba Maya wanted to meet him directly in the Main House this weekend, and this matter is not something that can be discussed directly on a video call, is that a new mission?, or there's a problem with Miyuki and his safety because of their current condition who's already known in the public as direct descendants of the infamous Yotsuba Clan?, after thinking a while, Tatsuya decided to go to the dining room and delayed his wondering.
When he arrives, he saw Miyuki's already sitting in one of the chair and when Miyuki saw him, she immediately greet and ask him.
"Onii- sama…., is there any problem with Oba-sama?, to the point that she needs to summon you at the Main Residence?" not long after Tatsuya arrived in the dining room, Miyuki then asked that question to Tatsuya, wariness evident in her face before, came back again.
"Nope…., seems like Oba-ue just wanted to talk to me directly about something, not sure about what though…."Said Tatsuya at the same time he pulled a chair in a table and preparing to eat his dinner.
"Hmm? What it's the thing that Oba-sama wants from Onii-sama so that she wants to talk directly to you?"
Seeing her sister antics and eagerness to know about the problem that has been caused by his 'mother' made Tatsuya smile a little bit.
"Like I said before Miyuki, I still don't know what it is…, when I asked her about it, Oba-ue seems like avoiding that topic so that she doesn't need to answered my question and she just kind of hoping that I will go to the Main House in this weekend, so thinking about this problem it just a waste of your time, I'll tell you later after I've got the detail from Oba-ue, don't worry." Answered Tatsuya while smiling more to his sister.
"…I understand, then, let Miyuki accompany you to the Main House in this weekend Onii-sama…" respond Miyuki to Tatsuya answer with her usual plead gazes towards Tatsuya.
Well, Miyuki being Miyuki, and Tatsuya already expecting this would happened, so he already got the counter-measured if this thing is unavoidable.
"You don't need to go there Miyuki, besides, Oba-ue just wanted to meet me, not us, or you, atleast we know that's the sign that she wanted to talk to me alone…, and you still got some homework to do before the new semester begin, right?"
"B-but Onii-sama…"
"Sssttttt…" Respond Tatsuya while putting his index finger on Miyuki lips, then shutting down and making her blush in the process, Tatsuya then answering Miyuki protest with "you don't need to worry about it, I'll be fine, seeing Oba-ue respond just now, I think there's no dangerous thing that will happen, besides, you've already been chosen as the Successor by the Head of the Yotsuba Clan, so there's no something that you should worry about." Explained Tatsuya with his usual smile for his Sister, a hand that he used to shutting down Miyuki protest before, he used it to pat her head instead, that conduct makes Miyuki lost her argument with her brother but at the same time, erasing her anxiousness in the process, it can be seen by anyone on her face, even by the dumbest harem protagonist.
"….A-alright then, if Onii-sama wished so, dinner's ready, Onii-sama must be hungry, please eat and enjoy to your heart's content Onii-sama…" giving her usual shy smile, responding towards her beloved brother conduct.
"Yeah…, Thanks, Itadakimasu" respond Tatsuya while stroking his sister Head for the last time today, before starting to eat.
While he eats, unconsciously he came back to wondering again, what is the motive behind his 'mother' request? Calling only him to pay a visit in a Main House this weekend? This time he think whether this have something to do with the Ten Master Clan Conference last time? Or is it a new mission for him like a mission to capture Zhou Gongjin before? Or perhaps it has something to do with Jiedo Heigu, who recently he dealt with? After spinning with his mind some more, Tatsuya then finished his dinner and decided to go to the basement, the place where his workstation is located, surely after giving his sister his good night first, he planned to continue a little bit of his works which are already done, but just need to double check it, whether it needs a revision or not, of course his mind is still wondering the motive behind his 'mother' request for him to visit the Main House by himself, after thinking this matter for a while whilst doing his work, Tatsuya think that's enough for today, preparing himself to sleep and decided there's no end if he keep thinking about this problem, and like he said to his sister before, it would just give him more unnecessary anxiety and wasting his time, and he better just wait for the day when those problems will be discussed on this weekend in the Yotsuba Main House.
Early March, AD 2097.
Located in the middle of the forest and surrounded by a bunch of big mountains, can be found a residence, that residence is also surrounded by a bunch of small houses near by. This place can be called as a small village, in fact, if there're some newcomer who come to this place, they will said so, but this place is not recorded on any map in this world. Yes, this place is the Main House for the Yotsuba Clan, one of the Ten Master Clan, a Clan that surrounded by secrecy from the public, the known member of said clan only been published as 3 peoples, they're Yotsuba Maya, the head of the said Clan, Shiba Miyuki, the next Head of the said Clan, and Shiba Tatsuya, Miyuki 'cousin' and Fiancé, the latter right now is standing infront of an entrance from Main House of the Yotsuba Clan, beside him, there's a main Butler from said house, that man prepares himself to enter to the residence with his guest.
"Tatsuya-dono, Madam have already been waiting for you in her room, from here on out, just go straight ahead and just enter her private room without waiting or asking for any command, she's already expected your visit today." Bowing, the main Butler of this Residence, Hayama Tadanori, gave his last message to the man infront of him, yes, that man is Shiba Tatsuya.
Replying his bow, as a matter of courtesy, Tatsuya then said to him " Thank you Hayama-san, well then, see you later." Done with his bow, Tatsuya immediately go quickly to his destination, a large room located in the middle of the residence.
"See you later, Tatsuya-dono." Said that butler, without undoing his bow, not until Tatsuya turned around and go inside that large room.
Inside the room, there's a woman who possess a beauty that can be called as a mature-beauty, her beauty radiated beautifully, despite her age that almost reaching to half of a century, her beauty is unwavered, that beauty even feels like it has been increased everyday, not even lessened a bit, she is Yotsuba Maya, leaned back while straigthtening her beautiful legs aside while drinking and enjoying her tea cup, there're another cup of tea which has been filled for about ¾ a cup across from where Maya sat, obviously, that tea is for her guest who is still standing right now, her 'son'. After seeing Tatsuya entering her room, that woman smiled sweetly towards Tatsuya, displaying her own sexiness that cant even be fully resisted by the almost emotionless man infront of her, despite their age differences.
"Im glad you came, Tatsuya-san" said that woman while widening her smile.
"Yeah, Oba-ue or should I said, 'Okaa-sama'?" Tatsuya replied while smiling bitterly.
Hearing those responds, made Yotsuba Maya giggling and said "fufufu, trying to tease me? How funny, well, if we both are alone inside a room, you can call me anything you want, anything that makes you comfortable, but remember, when we are in a video call, or public places, always call me as your mother, we don't know what or who's spying and watching us, isn't it? Respond that woman still keeping her smile intanct, no, not just keeping, she's probably widening her already broad smile…
"I'll kept that in mind" Tatsuya replied while bowing his head towards her.
"First, you may sit down, and you can also drink that tea infront of you while it still warm, and after that, we can start our discussion." Said that woman while winking her left-eye.
I smell something fishy here….. thought Tatsuya, but he sit down anyway, because if he doesn't do it, this matter wont starting.
"Yeah… thank you for the offer." Said Tatsuya before he sit down while bowing his head again, then he sat across his 'mother'.
"No need to be so stiff and formal, think of this as a meeting between mother and son, or between older sister and younger brother? Or maybe a meeting between Lover? Teased Maya as she let out her smile again that slightly wide for Tatsuya taste.
"Well… never once did I feel stiff to be speaking with you Oba-ue, and as a matter of formality, I think it's necessary, after all, Im talking to a lady and also the Patriarch of Yotsuba Clan from the Ten Master Clan." Said Tatsuya with a thin smile as he closed his eyes.
"How kind of you, to think me as a lady fufufu, and don't get too stuck with formality, after all, right here, right now, I looked at you in the same degree as I am, not as a Guardian from Yotsuba Clan, but as Shiba Tatsuya from Yotsuba Clan…." Respond her with a big smile while closing her eyes, because of the effect of that smile.
Tatsuya, hearing those statements is little surprised and thinking in his head, ….what is the things that has been plotted by this Witch infront of him….
Dunno how to respond, Tatsuya just respond it with his gratitude.
"Thank you very much" he replied, while taking the cup infront of him, and drinking the tea inside of it.
"How have you been?" Maya started the conversation with her chit-chat.
"About what?"
"Well..about school, the environment around you, especially after the whole world knows that you're related directly with me, and also you're engaged with Miyuki-san, the next Heir of Yotsuba Clan" Maya said while gazing her cup of tea in her right hand that almost empty.
"Hmmm.. nothing has changed much, well, at first, our closest friends try to stay away from us and avoiding us for a bit, but over time they can accept that we are direct descendants of this Clan and also Engaged, and everything is fine right now, atleast that's what I think."
Tatsuya really wanted to getting as fast as he can to the point of the problem why this Witch summon him, and discussing what his 'mother' wants with him that needs him to meet her directly today, but undo his intention and chosing to following the game that has been prepared by the Witch infront of him.
"Hoo.., that's good then, will be inconvenient for your development, if your environment disturbed by this Clan Reputation."
Who would think that Yotsuba Maya, who surround herself with secrecy for the past 20 years would said something like that, Tatsuya thought…
After those statements, there was silence between them within a few minutes, they just exchanged gazes, trying to read the other person's thoughts, before Tatsuya finally broke the silence.
Seeing the opportunity for him to ask directly to the point, Tatsuya then immediately asking Maya about the matter today without wasting his opportunity.
"Is that all? If it's then, I'll ask it directly to the point, Oba-ue, what's the reason you called me here today?"
"Direct to the point as always hmm…, as expected of Tatsuya-san" Maya respond with her usual smile.
Yotsuba Maya, putting her cup of tea that has been empty and moving her right hand to her chin, taking a position to think for a while before she starting to talk again.
"How much pain that you can endure as of right now?"She said while showing her curiosity.
A little bit of surprise can be seen on Tatsuya face because of that question.
"What do you mean by that?" Obviously, his respond.
"Well.. when you used your Innate Magic, Regrowth, how far the extent of the pain that you can endure?" Maya asked.
What is this woman wants... thought him.
"Hmmm…, Im afraid that I don't know what is the right answer that I must give to you for that question, Oba-ue…" Tatsuya said, stopping his track for a while, then he continued. "But if you really want to know about that, you can said that my ability to endure the pain is something that already far beyond what you can imagine?, I really don't know though, it just seems like that for me." Tatsuya answered Maya question with a question mark still visible on his face.
Seeing that makes Maya giggling, she then said. "fufufu, far beyond what I can imagine, nee….?"
They then went back into silent mode for a while, but after a few minutes, this time, is Maya turn to break that silence with grabbing a small Katana not more than 50 centimeters in size under the table where they put their tea cup, Maya then gave the Katana to Tatsuya while saying. "Try to cut your hand using this sword and then, don't use your Regrowth for about 2 minutes."
Hearing those orders, Tatsuya said "….. for what purpose?" He asked with his usual facial expression which looked normal and calm, making it difficult for the other person to read.
"Of course to make me know about your ability to withstand pain, Tatsuya-san, and also how far have you mastered your Regrowth." Maya said with her astonished face because of Tatsuya 'obliviousness' in her mind.
"I understand the purpose of your intention, but is not something that Im asking to you, what I mean is… after you know the extent about my ability (Regrowth) as well as how much I can endure the pain right now, then…what do you want to do with them, Oba-ue?" said Tatsuya without changing his expression even for a little while finishing the tea inside the cup.
"Huuuh…., to explain all of that, surely the first thing you have to do is do the order that I gave you earlier, right?" answered Maya with her usual angel-wicked smile.
If Tatsuya still has his strong emotion intact and he easily angered, maybe this Witch infront of him would turn to dust a second ago, saw no room for negotiation anymore, Tatsuya felt he had no another choice and take the Katana with his right hand. He opened the sword sheath, then with that he aim his left hand with the sword, taking a position to cut.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swing the sword with his full power, blood dripping drop by drop… before eventually those blood are flowing rather swiftly from his left hand, a few seconds later, his left hand fell onto the carpet, following after the incident, blood that has been flew from his left hand became more rapid, littering around the room with blood stains of his.
Seeing those thing, Yotsuba Maya looked at Tatsuya who had not, in the slightest, changed his facial expression, still as calm as ever, despite the amount of blood that has been dripped from his left-hand.
If an ordinary person witnessed this moment, they probably would turned their eyes away from Tatsuya hand, or even from Tatsuya itself while wrinkling their faces, but here, in this room, between the two of them, no one can be said to be an 'ordinary person' to the standards of society.
After waiting for more than 2 minutes, the silence that has been created by the event of the cutting was broke by Yotsuba Maya.
"Well then, now use your Regrowth to yourself" said Maya.
Hearing that statement, Tatsuya then casted Regrowth on himself, just in the blink of an eye, Tatsuya's left-hand that was once covered in blood and also separated, has returned to it's original state, as if everything that happens is just an optical illusion which has been made up as if it was never happened in the first place, that ability is so great even the traces of magic or Eidos that has been manipulated can hardly be found even for a Powerful Magician like Yotsuba Maya itself.
All done without changing the expression he displayed before, even for a little bit.
Seeing that Maya then said with amusement. "Hooo, not even flich a little bit huh?, yeah, totally beyond my expectation, fufufufu" she said while giggling.
"Yeah, compared to doing Regrowth to others, when I used Regrowth to myself, I didn't need to read catalog of changes in the Eidos through Information Dimension repeatedly, so the pain will not multiply like when I do it to others, and I also had backups to make it faster and easier to use." Said Tatsuya.
"But still…., wonderful, you have really exceeded my expectation, as well as Miya's… " said Maya as she took out her smile, but this smile is different than her smile before, in fact its probably the first time Tatsuya saw this kind of smile from a lady infront of him, a rather sincere smile.…
And then, hearing his late Mother's name has been mentioned, his expression kinda changed a bit, he said "Oka-, I mean Madam, heeh..? actually what is your purpose for doing all of this, Oba-ue?" Hearing those questions from Tatsuya over and over again, made Maya decided that this probably the time to tell him the real purpose about this meeting, she pulled out a bag, and opened it, then took out some documents and a cube box that has been used to stored some digital files infront of Tatsuya, then she handed it to Tatsuya.
"…This is…..?" Asked Tatsuya, displaying his question mark all over his face.
"These are the files and datas which comes from your operation eleven years ago, yeah operations that has been held to implanted an Artificial Magic Calculation Area in you and removing your strong emotions or urges."
Hearing those statements, even for Tatsuya itself, his calm expression has been shattered, shocked cannot be hidden from his face.
"Wha..." "… for what reason you showed me all of this, Oba-ue?" he asked.
"Inside this cube, there are your potray from eleven years ago, before and after the operation, whether it's an overall picture and can be seen as ordinary picture in every part, or projected as hologram, and also as video, there are also files about your AMCA whether it's in cube, or in documents, it contains the places where your AMCA has been installed inside your brain, the relationships of your brain cells with you AMCA of course, and last but not least, there're also a bunch of datas regarding our experiments which me and Miya did before your operation."
After those explanations, they both fell silent for a moment, before Maya continued again.
"In the pile of these documents, there are a bunch of datas regarding your development, before the operation or post operation, things that necessary to do, what tools are needed for it, and also the processes, everything has been recorded inside these documents, there are also an adjustment therapy for AMCA that has been installed in your brain so that you can get used to it as fast as you can." said Maya.
"Then, what do you expect from me with telling and giving all of these important files?" asked Tatsuya, asthonished.
Responding with Tatsuya question, Maya fix her sit posture, then she stood up and walked in opposite directions from the enterence that Tatsuya used to enter this place before, she start to shifting some of the blocks on the wall in the room, a big wardrobe which was located in Tatsuya vantage point started to shifted and showing a door as high as 2 meters. She then opened that door, but what visible to Tatsuya is not an enterence to another place or so, there's another door inside that door before she opened it again, and showcasing Tatsuya a secret room within the residence. It's probably not quite right, the terms that suited for that is not a secret room, but a secret passage.
After doing all of that, Maya then turned back and looked at Tatsuya with her bewitching smile.
"Please come with me…." She said.
"….Where?"
"to 4th Laboratory, where your operation has been held eleven years ago."
Tatsuya just stay silent and stared at Maya for a few minutes, before he finally released his sigh before he stood up from his current seat, then he walk towards her. Seeing those things, Maya spread her smile and entering inside those secret doors that had been opened by her before, towards the secret passage, followed by Tatsuya behind.
Inside that door, there's a hallway which leads downwards according to Tatsuya analysis, and he cant see the ending of that hallway, it's probably pretty long hallway… thought him. There are lantern at each side of the hallway for every 4 or 5 meters once to illuminate the hallway. After a long walk from Maya Private room, the place where Tatsuya and Maya held their talking before, for around 170-200 meters or so, they finally arrived at the end of the hallway. What comes to Tatsuya sight is a big room, the size of that room is about 3 to 4 times larger than the previous room, but still, what piqued Tatsuya interest is not the size of the room, but objects contained inside that room.
There are some kind of Super Computer, many of that in fact, there are also tubes that contains human organs, there are also several embryos that seems to be developed contained in those tubes, last but not least, there are also several doors which may indicate the existences of another rooms or any other routes to enter to this room where Tatsuya stood right now from anywhere inside this Residence or even the Valley itself, seeing those things, Tatsuya immediately assumed that this room is indeed, the real 4th Laboratory as Maya said earlier or atleast a part of it.
This place is a place used to experimented Magicians who carries number Four in their names, even though his memory is a bit blurry and cant recalling this place, but he sure that this place was the place where his mother experiments had been held, and the target of said experiments its him, yes, a place he had not seen for about 10 years.
"Hmmm.. it looks like the experiments from 4th Lab are still running right now.…." He said while looking around this lab.
"Of course it is, revealing the secret behind Mental Interference and Human Thought, especially Magician is the ultimate goal of our Ancestors from Yotsuba Clan, whatever happens, these experiments here must keep running" Maya respond to Tatsuya words with her rather wicked smile.
They both started to walk further inside that room, after walking for a few seconds, they arrived infront of a Locked Door, there are some kind of tool like a sensor for fingerprint at the place that usually occupied by a door handle, Maya then start to verify her fingerprint on that tool, the verify is completed and succeed, but what happen next is not a door that opens automatically, but another tool for verification. After several security check like Retinal and Speech Recognitions, and also PIN(Personal Identification Number), then the door is unlocked and can be opened by them.
Tatsuya has a vague memory about this door, or atleast that's what he think.
"The room that we are going to enter is the most important room for our Yotsuba Clan, all the research datas that we have done, the results of said Research, as well as legacies from our Clan Members are mostly in this room.
"After this I will make your own Personal Identifications so you can enter this room on your own freely, Tatsuya-san" Maya said without letting go of her smile from before, and then both of them entering that said room.
There are several sets of Super-Computers, an Operating table as well as a bed that Patients used after the Operation for their treatments, there are also several shelves that stored a lot of Documents and written Documents in it, but the most thing that would piqued the peoples who would enter this room interest is a large and wide cabinet with a lot of drawers, each drawer contains some kind of 4 to 6 digit codes listed on it, there are dozens or even hundreds of said drawers, yes, this place is the place where Tatsuya operation had been held eleven years ago, the place that wiped out most of his emotions and urges, the place where his curses begun, the place that made him locked up in an invisible prison, and then Yotsuba Maya approached the cabinet inside that room, pulled one of the drawers inside that cabinet.
What comes after it, is a bit unexpected, even for Tatsuya himself, it can be seen on his face.
"A Brain….?" Asked Tatsuya with his rather surprised face.
Yes, what comes from the drawer that had been pulled by Yotsuba Maya is a Brain inside a tube or incubator, probably to kept it working, even if said brain is already separated from it's body systems.
"Yap…, in fact, this is your Late Mother's Brain, Shiba Miya, one of the greatest Magician from Yotsuba Clan." Answered Maya, explaining to him, the look on her face when she explained it cant be described by Tatsuya. Seeing and hearing those things make Tatsuya wondering and then responding to his aunt. "….What do you really want, Oba-ue…?, give me your explanation right here right now!" He said slightly raising his voice and also putting on his serious face to the limit of his emotions.
Returning Tatsuya respond, Maya giggling and smilling like a child and said. "fufufufufu, no need to be like that, Tatsuya-san, ok-ok, I'll tell you right away" Answered Maya by raising her both hands sideways, a sign of 'submission'.
"Miya and I, more than 11 years ago, has predicted the outcome of your operation, about how inferior the Artificial Magic Calculation Area(AMCA) that would be implanted into you, with that AMCA, you can indeed be a Magician, but you wouldn't became a Magician worthy of Yotsuba Clan's name as you know and happened right now.
Althought its inferior, for the sake of suppressing your emotions which they think would overflows especially during your adolescence, we agreed to kept the operation running, with Miya's speciality, Mental Design Interference, we experimented on you, and implanted that AMCA inside of your brain with the cost of your strong emotions and urges, all that is like you know before, but there are things that me, Miya, and Eisaku Oji-sama planned before, but we didn't tell it to you, nor to another member of this Clan."
Hearing those explanations, Tatsuya slightly changing his expression to be more calm, then he said." "And what exactly your plan to me, that resulting in nobody else knows except all of you three?" Asked him while releasing his sigh and lowering his gaze.
The slightly tense atmosphere between them has subsided, and seems like a more relaxed conversation can be done between them.
Maya responded to Tatsuya question.
"To make you become a full fledged and a perfect Magician, worthy of Yotsuba Clan's name." answered her with her usual smile.
Responding to Maya statement, Tatsuya raised his gaze to her, so that their eyes can interwined and locked each other, a shocked expression and question marks all over his face with his mouth hangging a little bit.
