Chapter 3: Day Three, Beginning with Cookies and Ending with Cookies
Tit, tit, tit, tit!!
The sound of the oven button being pressed by Shirou was heard in his kitchen that morning.
Wearing a red apron over a black shirt from school, he's currently making the cookies he promised Erika yesterday, ok that's more than that. Shirou also made friendship cookies for Tatsuya and Mizuki because they haven't got his homemade cookies either and there are additional cookies just in case.
"Hm? Shirou.. have you been awake?" A soft voice came from the direction of the stairs. Standing there was a beautiful adult woman with dark hair tied into a ponytail. She is Shirou's mother, Muramasa Koharu.
"Morning Kaa-san"
"Morning.. emm? What are you cooking? Ah cookies again.."
"Yes, yesterday I promised to give cookies to one of my classmates and because there was still a lot of left over I made some for the others too"
"Is the friend you are referring to a girl~?"
"Kaa-san it's still early..."
"Oow come on... this is to cheer up Kaa-san this morning." Her mother said while taking out the ingredients she needed to make breakfast from the fridge.
"Haaah.. yes, she's a girl." Shirou said as he picked up an empty pot and started to fill it with rice.
"Hehe, my son is indeed the best. What kind of person is she?" With the expertise of a housewife, Koharu begins to clean the dirt from the body of the fish which will be the main menu for their breakfast later.
"Come on kaa-san, stop teasing me like that and it's still very early." Shirou said while washing the rice with water from the tap.
"Ah you are not fun." She said while puffing her cheeks.
The morning interaction between mother and her son continued but even so they still didn't lose their focus on their respective tasks of preparing breakfast for the Muramasa family that morning.
When the food was almost cooked, came a man with short red hair who was neatly groomed but his hair color was not as red as Shirou's. He is Shirou's father. Muramasa Souji, who was neatly use his work clothes and ready to eat the delicious breakfast made by his wife and son.
"Wow, this must be delicious. Shirou do you also make cookies for Tou-san, right?"
"Yes, I have prepared it." Shirou said from the dining table, currently he was tying a package containing the last cookies he would bring to school.
"Ah it's nice to have a son who is very talented in cooking." Said Souji who was sitting across from Shirou.
"Isn't it obvious, it's because Shirou inherited my cooking skills!!" Koharu said proudly while setting the dishes on the dining table
"Morning" Not far from them came the princess from the Muramasa family. She is Shirou's younger sister, Muramasa Yukina. She is a beautiful girl with long black hair down her back, she has the same eyes as Shirou, she is currently wearing her school uniform, she is a third year student in her middle school.
"Morning" replied the other three Muramasa and at that moment Shirou and his mother realized something.
"Moo Yukina, your hair is still not neat.." Her mother complained as soon as she finished checking the doneness of the tofu soup she made.
"Uh, really?" She said while trying to smooth her hair back using her hands.
"Yukina, come here let me fix your hair" Shirou said which was immediately answered with a nod by Yukina who was now sitting in a chair next to Shirou.
Shirou then makes a comb using the type of magic he is very good at, Magecraft.
"You're a girl, you should pay more attention to your hair." Shirou complained while combing his sister's hair.
"It's fine, because I can always leave this matter to onii-chan." Yukina said in a lazy tone while giving Shirou a thumbs up.
"Haah.. you are."
Their father could only smile when he saw the normal interaction between his two children.
"Okay, breakfast is ready!!"
Breakfast moments like that are normal in the Muramasa family.
.
.
"Tatsuya-san... Are you familiar with Student Council President?" Mizuki asked Tatsuya.
"We met for the first time before the entrance ceremony... ." In truth, Tatsuya was as confused as Mizuki.
"That sure doesn't look like a meeting for the first time." Leo said
"Erm.. it looked as if she was purposely trying to find you a solution to yesterday's problem." Add Erika.
Just as Leo and Erika had said, that approach didn't seem like one who are meeting for the first time.
"...Perhaps because of Miyuki?"
"...But he mentioned Onii-sama's name specifically?"
Tatsuya and Miyuki were currently walking together with Erika, Mizuki, and Leo. This seems like it will be a group that hangs out a lot considering the closeness they had since they first met.
This is a good start to start school, where you can go to school with your friends.
Tatsuya was clearly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere until...
"Tatsuya-kun~!" A screaming voice from a coquettish girl could be heard calling his name from behind. This had obviously drawn all the attention to the sound's origin.
"Tatsuya-kun, good morning~. And Miyuki too, good morning."
'What does it mean?' thought Tatsuya.
"Good morning president"
Miyuki and three of her classmates also followed Tatsuya and gave polite greetings to their coquettish senpai.
"Are you alone, President?"
Tatsuya gave a gentle invitation to walk to school together.
"Hm, actually no one is walk with me to school in the morning. May I join you?" It was clear that Mayumi would not refuse the invitation, neither did Tatsuya and the others object to Mayumi's presence.
And...
Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring..
Not long after Mayumi's action, the group's attention was again stolen by the arrival of another newcomer.
He is the only First High school student who goes to school on an old bicycle.
Ciiitt!!
After stopping his bicycle beside the group, Shirou then decided to continue his journey by push his bicycle to school.
"Morning Leo, Shibata-san, Erika, Tatsuya. Morning Imoutou- erm.. I mean morning Shiba-san, and morning Saegusa-senpai." Shirou didn't greet Miyuki like yesterday after receiving the girl's unpleasant look.
"Morning Shirou/Shirou-san/Shirou-kun!/Good morning Muramasa-san/Morning Kouhai-kun." Reply them six.
Seeing the change of calls that Shirou made to Miyuki, made Erika smile mischievously and immediately shifted to approach him.
"What's with that change in the middle of your sentence, Shirou? You seem pressured by something just now..."
"Well... Just trying to avoid a girl's bad side, you know?"
"Yes yes, I understand. Make sure to keep that in mind or you won't become popular ok~"
"Ok, but I'm not bothering you right? It looks like you're in the middle of a conversation with Saegusa-senpai."
Hearing her last name called, made Mayumi move to give an answer to Shirou's question.
"No-no, you're not intruding at all and you're definitely welcome to join in on our conversation." Said Mayumi with her charismatic smile.
"In that case, thank God." Shirou replied with a friendly smile.
"But.. I never thought that there are still students who use bicycles to go to school, especially old models like that.. ah! Please don't be offended, I didn't mean to make fun of your bicycle."
While waving her free hand without a bag, Mayumi tried to correct the part of her sentence that could be misinterpreted as mocking.
"It's okay, this bicycle is indeed old. My house happens to be not far from here so I go to school using this bicycle."
Of course, bicycles are a means of transportation that are still often used even in this era, it's just that the bicycles used by Shirou are old-fashioned bicycles that are rarely found.
It was a red bicycle that had a basket for putting things on the front and seats for passengers on the back.
The fact is that this bike is 100 years old but still in great condition because it was cared for so well by his grandfather, his mother, and finally by Shirou.
"Ah right, I think I can give it here.." Shirou then stopped his steps which made the other six people stop too.
He then took out three packages containing cookies that he had prepared earlier.
"Erika these are the cookies I promised you yesterday."
"Eh? You really kept your promise!?"
Erika's response made Shirou's lips twitch slightly.
"I promised you didn't I? So here you go!"
"Thank You!" Erika excitedly grabs the package and puts it in her bag.
"Tatsuya and Shibata-san too, this is for you guys"
"As far as I remember you didn't make an appointment with us" said Tatsuya when he saw Shirou also offering a package containing cookies to them.
"Is it necessary to promise just to give food to a friend?" Shirou said while tilting his head.
"No, thank you"
"Shibata-san also take it!"
"Ah yes, thank you Shirou-san"
"You bought a lot of cookies for your friends to share huh?" Shirou then looked at Mayumi who was questioning him.
"No, I cooked all of this myself this morning. Apart from my promise with Erika, I have also made cookies for Tatsuya and Shibata-san and since there were still leftovers I might as well make a lot. You want too, Saegusa-senpai?"
"Eh you made it yourself!?" Erika exclaimed from the side.
"You can cook Shirou-san?" Asked Mizuki.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya immediately saw Shirou's fingers. As for Miyuki, because of yesterday's incident, she has a bad impression of Shirou and doubts the taste of his cooking.
"Yes, I've often helped my mother cook since I was 5 years old, from those simple things my skills have increased to the level are now."
Many people in the group were obviously envious after hearing that Shirou had a harmonious relationship with his parents. For someone who came from a family of magicians, it would be rare for a child to experience normal interactions between parent and child.
"This, please accept it! I hope the taste will suit your taste Saegusa-senpai."
"Alright, thank you kouhai-kun."
"Shiba-san too, take this." Shirou said while handing the last package to Miyuki. Whereas the girl in question only looked at him for a few moments and received it with a very sly artificial smile.
"Thank you Muramasa-san." Shirou had clearly noticed that.
Seeing each person get the treasure made Leo also enthusiastically wait for his turn.
"Shirou, where for me?"
"There isn't any."
"What?"
"You got it on day one, so your share is gone."
"W-what?" Said Leo who felt very betrayed.
They continued their journey while having a casual chat and for some reason Miyuki's attitude towards Shirou was still very cold, it was obvious that she didn't like the person who had called her and her onii-sama idiots.
"Hm Miyuki, I plan to seek opportunities to speak with you in detail. Do you have any plans during lunch break?"
"I plan to eat in the cafeteria."
"With Tatsuya-kun?"
"No, Onii-sama and I are in a different class..."
She seemed to remember what happened yesterday.
Upon seeing Miyuki slightly lower her head and lower her voice, Mayumi nodded as if she understood.
"There are quite a number of students who care about this little incident."
Tatsuya slightly glanced to his side. Unsurprisingly, Mizuki nodded in affirmation. It seemed that yesterday's incident would not end just like that.
'It must be about yesterday... but isn't the solution to that problem easy?' Shirou thought when he remembered one of the problems Leo told him yesterday.
"I don't understand why you guys are thinking about that seriously? Just because you two are in different classes doesn't mean you can't eat together right?"
"Kouhai-kun things aren't that simple, you must be aware of the dispute between the two courses right?" Mayumi said.
'Haah.. they really are idiots aren't they?'
"During lunch break later you can just buy food at the cafeteria or cafe to wrap up, after that go to one of the places in the school garden, there you can eat together. If someone is babbling, just ignore it..." Shirou said lazily.
Mayumi just stared at Shirou with a look that was hard to understand now.
'Sometimes, all it takes to make a difference is not a long speech filled with charisma. But a first step is a concrete action to initiate that change, even if it's something as simple as eating together under a shady tree.' Shirou thought as he walked leading his bicycle with his eyes straight ahead, a gust of wind made his hair flutter in the air.
The other six people could only stare in awe at the youth who didn't realize that his inner monologue was actually a direct speech coming out of his mouth.
"Wow" Leo said.
"Aaow, you must have been class president back in middle school." Said Erika who was filled with smirk.
"That was really good Shirou-san!" Mizuki was clearly in awe of his classmate.
"Nice sentence" Tatsuya could tell now that this classmate was far beyond expectations.
"I have to admit it was good." Miyuki also had the same opinion as her older sister, but she still didn't like that person who had insulted her onii-sama.
"A first step to start a change huh.." Mayumi muttered, this time looking at Kouhai-kun with a look that was hard to understand.
"Eh..? Can you read my mind?" Shirou could only stare at the others in shock.
"Haha.. you said it out loud earlier~" Erika replied while giggling.
Hearing that Shirou could only sigh.
"That was a good idea kouhai-kun, I'll definitely do it later! Erm.. back to the question, how about we have this talk at lunch time later Miyuki!?"
"If Onii-sama comes along too, I don't mind."
"Alright then it's decided we will gather in the student council room at lunch time."
"Wait a minute, there's still a problem between me and the vice president so I don't-" Before Tatsuya could finish his sentence..
"If you mean Hanzou-kun you don't need to worry, because he'll be having lunch in the club room he's joining." Obviously Mayumi wasn't going to let go of Tatsuya that easily.
'That's completely unrelated to what I meant' thought Tatsuya, but Mayumi's smile didn't diminish in the slightest as she continued to speak.
"In that case, everyone is welcome as well. Letting everyone know about the Student Council's activities is one of our duties as well."
Even so, there were people who outright rejected Mayumi's social invitations.
"Even though it's a rare opportunity, I think we'll miss it." Answered Erika who represented Mizuki and Leo.
"Thanks, but I already have an appointment for lunch with the rest of my friends. Maybe another day." was Shirou's answer.
"Is that so.. then it's just the two of you then." Mayumi's tone dropped slightly now.
Miyuki could only stare at Tatsuya for her final decision.
Refusing was still the option until then, but after hearing the responses from Erika and the others, there was now no way to politely decline.
"...I understand. Then Miyuki and I will accept your invitation."
"Very good, details can wait until later. I'll be waiting for you two in the student council room, and kouhai-kun! I'll hold on to your word~."
For some reason, Mayumi was very happy with this answer. Turning quickly, he left them at his carefree pace.
Tatsuya and Shirou could only stare at the girl's back from where they stood.
.
.
Lunch break finally arrived.
Tatsuya and Miyuki were in front of the room at the end of the 4th floor hall. From the outside, all the rooms were the same. They all have the same wooden door. What was different were the wood carvings embedded in the doors, the speakers on the walls, and the security devices that were very well camouflaged. The sign on the door clearly displayed the words "Student Council Room".
After getting confirmation from the occupants of the room, Tatsuya reached for the doorknob and opened it.
"Welcome, don't mind us, please come in." What greeted them was Mayumi's happy voice.
Miyuki led the way into the room, followed by Tatsuya.
With both hands in front of her, Miyuki bowed in greeting, similar to the examples in the formalities textbook.
"Eh... No need to be so formal."
After seeing Miyuki execute a perfect greeting that normally wouldn't come out other than at a formal situatio , Mayumi visibly frowned slightly.
The other two members present seemed to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere as well.
There was one other person present in the room, it was the Chair of the Disciplinary Committee, Mari.
"Please take a seat, try to relax ok."
Both Miyuki and Tatsuya then sat down at the long table that was in the room, and Tatsuya automatically sat next to Miyuki.
"Meat, fish, or vegetarian. Which do you prefer?"
What's amazing is not only the dinner server module, but the complex options available in this room as well.
After choosing their lunch menu, now all they can do is wait for 5 minutes for the food to be ready.
Mayumi sat on the main chair. Next to her and across from Miyuki sat another third year female student. One other seat across from Tatsuya was a member of the Disciplinary Committee. Second year sits on the other side of the committee members. Mayumi then started the conversation.
"Introductions were made during the ceremony admissions, but, let's get into this again. Next to me is our Accountant, Ichihara Suzune, also known as Rin-chan."
"...The only one who calls me that is the President."
Despite having a face that exuded a serious aura, that was only one of the charms of a third year student who had the perfect body posture for a woman.
"You two should know the person next to Rin-chan, right? She's the Disciplinary Committee Chair Watanabe Mari."
Mari didn't say anything, she just smiled sweetly while blinking one eye.
"And next to her is our Secretary, Nakajou Azusa, who is also known as A-chan."
"President... Please don't call me 'A-chan' in front of the underclassmen. I have a position I need to think about too.
Because she was even smaller than Mayumi and had a more childlike face, whenever Azusa made a tear-stained face, she inadvertently gave off the impression of a child about to cry. And that was probably why she was called "A-Chan". It was probably too cruel a reality for the person.
"The last one will be Vice President Hanzou. And that already includes all the members of the Student Council Committee."
"Which I am not one of them."
"Oh yeah, Mari isn't a member of the Student Council. Ah right! While waiting we can eat cookies made by kouhai-kun!"
Mayumi went to her desk and quickly reached into her desk drawer and took out a package containing cookies which were still neatly tied.
"Did you guys bring it here too? Tatsuya-kun, Miyuki?
"No, mine I left in my class"
"Me, too."
"I see, hm, it looks like chocolate flavor.. krs krs krs..."
.
.
The next second Mayumi was now sitting on a chair with a table in front of her on a hill surrounded by thousands of lily flowers dancing along with the gentle breeze of the beach under the warm afternoon sky.
"Eh..? Where am I?"
Then she heard footsteps from behind where she was sitting, as sje turned around to see who it belonged to.
She was surprised by the presence of Kouhai-kun who was dressed neatly like a butler, which oddly fit him perfectly.
Then she realized that she was currently not wearing her school uniform, but a pure white one piece dress. And above her head was a crown made of the same flowers that were around her.
Kouhai-kun then approached Mayumi, in his right hand was a tray on which was already a plate containing the same chocolate cookies she had eaten before.
"Here are cookies for you Mayumi-sama" He said while giving a very charming smile that made the ojou-sama blush.
"Th-thank you, krs krs krs.. eem delicious!" Mayumi obviously really likes cookies, as evidenced by her hand that keeps taking cookies to her mouth.
.
.
"May..
"Mayu...
"...Senpai.."
"Mayumi!!!"
"..Eh!? What? What? Mari? Why are you so close? And why are you grabbing my shoulder?"
"I should be the one asking you!? You're acting weird after eating those cookies."
"Cookies? Oh really Kouhai-kun's cookies! Eh..! Why aren't there anymore? Come on, you can eat mine?"
"I didn't eat the cookies but you were the one who ate them up and flew to your own world."
"For a cookie to make the president like that…" Suzune muttered while holding her chin.
"Isn't it just because the cookies taste too good maybe?" Azusa asked while tilting her head.
"Yes, the cookies made by Kouhai-kun are delicious! But it's a shame they're all gone.." Said Mayumi who became gloomy at the end.
"No, I doubt that. There's no way the taste of food can make people like that. Mayumi who is this Kouhai-kun? I have to check to make sure he didn't add any illegal drugs to the cookies." Mari gave her shocking conjecture.
"What! How can you say that Mari!? What happened to me just now must have been purely because of the deliciousness of these cookies and I firmly believe that Kouhai-kun would not do such a despicable thing."
"We won't know until I check. So quickly tell me! Who is this Kouhai-kun?"
"Don't want to!"
"Why won't you tell me?"
"Because I'm sure Kouhai-kun isn't a bad person!"
"Don't be like a child! Just tell me who he is!?"
"Don't want to!!!"
And so the fight between the two friends started, Suzune just looked at it calmly while Azusa became very panicked.
"What do you think, Onii-sama?"
"I don't know, but just in case, Miyuki don't eat those cookies until I'm sure they're safe to eat."
"Okay Onii-sama."
.
.
Because education has become more widespread and accessible, the notion that coming to school is not important has become a popular attitude.
Since online classes have become a reality, many of the debates that take place in classrooms are actually just a waste of time and resources. In the end, the notion that school was not important only reached the stage of being talked about a lot and was not debated any further.
No matter how sophisticated it looks, virtual experiences are perceived as unreal. Exercises and experiments should be paired with direct debriefing between the instructor and students. In addition, something that is not done in real situations will not produce a real learning experience. Students studying together in the same class can get additional lessons. These two points have been proven beyond doubt from experience so far.
Currently, Shirou and his classmates were doing practical classes. There is no teacher to guide them.
The Class E students followed that lead displayed on the monitor on the wall to operating lessons on using CAD. Today's subject matter is the basis of all basic, which is a simple operation using this device.
Today's task, using a CAD to steer a sled car from one end of the track to the other, had to be repeated three times. And completing three manual operations is strictly prohibited. Even if there wasn't a teacher watching them, it didn't make the students interested in cheating at all.
Including Shirou who is currently trying to do the last round of this task with full concentration.
"Haah.. it worked out in the end but that must have been the worst." he said glumly.
"You have to keep up the spirit Shirou-san, you can definitely improve your skills. Let's get in line, so we can try again." Said Mizuki who had completed her practical assignment with far better results than Shirou.
"Thank you Mizuki" Shirou replied to the concern from his friend. Shirou had now called all of his classmates by their first names, ever since they had a lunch session earlier that Tatsuya didn't attend.
Yes... That might also be the effect of Shirou's friendship cookies.
Even though Shirou succeeds, he is completely dissatisfied with the result as a task a 2nd course student should be able to complete in less than 3 minutes. He finished in longer time than he should have, 5.9 minutes.
Shirou is really bad at modern magic. He had no problem with theory classes as he could follow them just fine but for practical classes modern magic was another thing. Practical ability is only at an average value.
In fact, the modern magic practice test in the entrance exam was his first time to use CAD. This is what causes him to be very poor at practicing modern magic.
He could have used Magecraft to complete this task but he didn't because that would be cheating. Even if the end result was the same but the method of doing it was different.
Shirou stubbornly refuses to use this ancient magic.
In fact, if only he didn't become stubborn and was willing to use Structural Analysis on just one CAD before the entrance exam, it would not be impossible, that he would be the one who would make a speech at the new student acceptance ceremony.
"Tatsuya, how was lunch in the Student Council Room?" Curiously, Leo asked Tatsuya while they were waiting for their turn.
"That turned into an interesting conversation..."
"Interesting?"
Erika, who was in front of Tatsuya turned to ask.
"They asked me to join the Disciplinary Committee. How did it suddenly turn out like this?"
Tatsuya and Erika both tilt their heads. 'how could a group meal develop like this.' Is what they think.
"It is quite sudden."
Leo also agreed that it was this unexpected incident.
"But wouldn't it be great if you arrived requested by the Student Council?"
Mizuki's opinion differed from the others. She and Shirou stopped while they were on their way back to the end of the line to try the task again.
"Great? Isn't this just a complementary package for my sister?"
Tatsuya replied to all of their questions because Tatsuya also couldn't accept Mizuki's praise. Erika smiled slightly when she saw Tatsuya's suspicious and stubborn attitude.
"Well, well, let's stop talking about this self-deprecating stuff. So, what does the Disciplinary Committee usually do?"
After hearing Erika's question, Tatsuya repeated what he had heard from Azusa. Hearing all that, the three pairs of eyes nearby widened.
"Quite a troublesome task…"
Leo sighed while Mizuki's expression became worried.
"If this isn't safe, then... Erika-chan, what something wrong?" Erika looked really angry, thus drawing Mizuki's attention to her.
"...Really, so impulsive..."
Her vision drifted. Whispering to herself while facing up, it seemed he was scolding someone who wasn't there.
"Erika-chan?"
"Ah, uh, sorry Tatsuya-kun. It really is already too much., You better refuse a dangerous assignment like this."
The serious expression turned into a smile naughty, Erika's voice became noticeably brighter as she teased Tatsuya.
"I don't think that's surprising.." Shirou wasn't surprised at all by that.
"Eh what do you mean Shirou?" Leo had clearly become curious about that.
"Well.. Watanabe-senpai seemed to have taken an interest in Tatsuya after his action of going ahead to explain yesterday's incident as a joke to her face and moreover Tatsuya had shown his ability to analyze the magic activation of CADs with just the naked eye, so basically Tatsuya had entered into his schemes because proof that he can be in the Student Council Room during lunch time right..?"
"Shirou, you're saying she planned this already?"
"In my opinion it is YES, because simply a woman will not be satisfied until they get what they find attractive in their eyes just let go. You know how women are?"
"Ah well, I understand."
"Excuse me! What do you mean by that Red Hair-san? Please don't confuse all women with that person!" Erika snapped, who didn't like the implications of Shirou's sentence just now.
"Yes! Not all women are like that!"
"Yeah what do you mean Shirou!"
"Shirou explain right now what you mean."
"Wait a minute! Calm down! I didn't mean to make fun of you!!! Please calm down!!"
It seems Shirou Shirou's sentence has made the girls in his class angry so he is currently being surrounded by the girls.
Finally the chaos was over and the students(girls) returned to continue their practice classes after Shirou promised to make them all donuts for next week.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down again, Tatsuya then conveyed the message that was entrusted to him.
"Shirou actually you were also called to come to meet Watanabe-senpai."
"Uh why?"
"That's because of your cookies"
"My cookies?"
Tatsuya then started to narrate the chaos that had occurred in the Student Council room.
"What! How can that woman say something like that!!!" Erika snapped angrily.
"Yes! Those cookies made by Shirou-san can't possibly have banned drugs in them."
"How dare she insult the former!"
"Why is Watanabe-senpai so cruel.."
"Hey, calm down, I'm just delivering a message!"
Now things went back to chaos as all of Tatsuya's and Shirou's classmates started surrounding Tatsuya and shouting their anger at him for being the messenger of Mari.
"Okay, I'll come with you later. And I'll prove to Watanabe-senpai that she's wrong!" Shirou said with determination.
Shirou is a very kind and forgiving person, but there are some things that just can't be ignored, one of which is people insulting the food he made.
'Ah.. this will definitely get messy..' thought Tatsuya.
.
.
After school, Tatsuya and Shirou headed for the Student Council room under different conditions, Tatsuya had to drag even heavier footsteps than during the lunch break. As for Shirou, every step he takes is filled with the determination he will strive for.
Then the first problem happened even before they reached the Student Council room and it was caused by Shirou and Miyuki.
"Sorry for making you wait onii-sama."
"No need to apologize anyway we just got here too."
"Tatsuya lying is not good, we've been waiting here for 5 minutes." Shirou whispered which was loud enough for Miyuki to hear.
"That's fine with me."
"Well, if you say so..."
Miyuki only stared at the youth standing beside her brother with an unpleasant look.
"Ah, sorry for making you uncomfortable by waiting for me here. Well, although no one asked you to come wait for me."
"It's okay, I'm used to waiting for a girl."
"Is that so? Yes, I understand they must be one of your cooking victims.."
"... What do you mean Shiba-san?" Before matters got heated Tatsuya decided to end this here.
"Miyuki that's enough, we can't make our senpais wait any longer so we better head to the Student Council room now."
Tatsuya already knew Miyuki's dislike of Shirou, his younger sister could sometimes act too childish towards people who insulted Tatsuya.
"Okay Onii-sama." Miyuki said with a sweet smile and started walking following Tatsuya towards the Student Council room.
"Haaah.." After sighing Shirou started walking after the two of them.
It wasn't long before they arrived in front of the Student Council room.
"Excuse me" Said the three first year students as they entered the room.
As they entered the room they were greeted by looks of hostility and wariness from two different sources for two different purposes.
The owner of the first gaze was the Student Council Vice President who clearly disliked Tatsuya.
The owner of the second gaze is the Disciplinary Committee Chairman who has grown suspicious of Shirou after seeing his best friend experiencing something similar to the effects of a hallucination.
"I am the Vice President, Hattori Gyoubu. Shiba Miyuki, welcome to the Student Council."
Hattori stepped up to shake Miyuki's hand it was clear from the way his handshake proved that he was looking forward to this.
Hattori then sat back down on the chair without caring about Shirou and Tatsuya's whereabouts.
"Ah, you guys finally got here and it's good that you brought him here too."
"Welcome, Miyuki, Tatsuya-kun, Kouhai-kun too. welcome to the Student Council Room." Mayumi looked more formal than what Tatsuya and Miyuki remembered during their lunch break.
"Then there's no need to delay, A-chan please."
"... Yes" Azusa replied weakly because she had given up on Mayumi who kept calling her "A-chan" which indirectly reduced her dignity as a senpai in front of these three kouhainya.
"Well, let's go there."
It hadn't even been a day and she was already speaking so casually. Perhaps levity was also part of Azusa's character.
"Where?" Said Tatsuya.
"The Disciplinary Committee Headquarters. There are many things that need to be seen in person to understand. That room is located just below this room. That said, these two rooms are connected. I will also talk to you in that room Kouhai-kun." Mari explained to Tatsuya and ended with the inspection Mari was about to perform on Shirou.
"We'd better hurry up and finish our business Watanabe-senpai." Said Shirou who openly challenged Mari with a challenging grin
Seeing that, Mari started to stand up while offering a grin as well. But just as she was about to leave the chair, a comment was heard trying to stop him.
"Watanabe-senpai, please wait a moment."
"Is there a problem, Hattori Gyoubushoujou Hanzou?"
"Please don't call me by my full name!"
Tatsuya glanced at Mayumi. Seeing Tatsuya's gaze, Mayumi tilted her head with a "Hm?". You said that "Hanzou" is his real name...
"Then let's hear Vice President Hattori Hanzou's opinion."
"Just call me Hattori Gyoubu!"
"That's your family's official nickname, isn't it."
"It has nothing to do with nicknames
Now, the school has received the name 'Hattori Gyoubu'! ... No, that's not what I wanted to say."
"That's because you're being too formal, right?"
"Ok, ok, Mari, Hanzou also has things he doesn't like."
Everyone's gazes fell on the speaker, Mayumi. You're not the right person to say that either.
But Mayumi didn't react at all and it was strange that Hanzou didn't protest Mayumi's words.
"Watanabe-senpai, the topic I wanted to talk to you about was precisely regarding replacing the Disciplinary Committee and taking the punishment for the student who attempted to poison the president." Hattori said calmly while looking straight at Mari.
"What?" Mari and Mayumi said simultaneously.
"I object to you appointing this first year to be a member of the Discipline Committee. And as the vice president, I will be the one taking over the punishment for the crimes committed by the other first years."
"What nonsense is this? The person who nominated Shiba Tatsuya-kun is President Saegusa. Even if it's verbal, rights the appointment was his. And as the head of the Disciplinary Committee, it is my right to punish Muramasa Shirou-kun!"
"Wait a minute Mari! Kouhai-kun didn't do anything wrong!"
"Mayumi please be quiet for a moment!"
And the room had become a hotbed of chaos due to two different topics, Suzune was just watching it all quietly, as for Azusa, huh... she was getting worried because of that.
'Vice president of the student council but went against the decisions of the student council president and the disciplinary committee president because of selfishness and arrogance, the disciplinary committee president who made accusations without any evidence, this is ridiculous.' That was what Shirou thought while watching all the chaos.
Both Hattori and Mari were still arguing with Mayumi occasionally intervening when the topic was about Shirou putting dangerous ingredients in his cake. "That's because Kouhai-kun's cake is delicious!" or "The cake doesn't contain any harmful ingredients!". As Mayumi said, and the topic changed to focus on Tatsuya's problem.
"You can't make a Weeds a member of the disciplinary committee." And finally Hattori pointed out the essence of his protest.
"That's a taboo term, Vice President Hattori. A taboo term because it's forbidden by the Disciplinary Committee. You're pretty bold to say that in front of me, Disciplinary Committee Leader."
Even though Mari had reprimanded him, Hattori showed no signs of backing down.
"You can ban all terms you want. Unless you plan on punishing 1/3 of the students in this school? The difference between Blooms and Weeds is something written into the school system and recognized by the schools themselves. The source of the difference between Blooms and Weeds is the difference in abilities. Disciplinary Committee members are responsible for the task of subduing students who violate school rules. A Weed with low ability is unable to complete the task."
At Hattori's proud statement, Mari only smiled coldly.
"It's true that the Disciplinary Committee is ability-based, but ability comes in many forms. If we need to use force to suppress a fight, that's what I'm here for. Even if I go up against 10 or even 20 opponents, I can handle them alone. In this school, the only people who can fight me 1 on 1 are the President of Saegusa and the Chairman of the Juumonji Club Management Committee. Do you think-"
"Hachii!! Ah sorry please continue" he said while rubbing his nose.
'Is he mocking me?' Mari thought then continued her sentence but not with what she was going to say earlier but with a point that would strengthen her argument.
"Just so you know, Tatsuya-kun can read Activation Sequences and thus accurately predict the incantation of magic with his eyes and brain. In other words, even before the magic has been cast, he already knows what magic his opponent is using."
"... What did you say?" Asked Hattori who thought it was impossible to do.
"Students who break the rules for using magic in the school will be punished according to the type of magic. If the magic is stopped before it's finished we won't be able to give out an appropriate punishment for the perpetrator, but with Tatsuya around, we can appropriately give the punishment to the perpetrators. In addition, there is still one more reason I want him to join the Disciplinary Committee."
Let's put forward the next reason. After all, Hattori couldn't provide a direct counterargument.
"Until today none of the Disciplinary Committee members were from the Course 2 students. In other words, the Course 2 students who used magic in violation of school rules were caught by the Course 1 students. As you know, there is a wide gap between the Course 1 students. and the Course 2 students. The Course 1 students can catch the Course 2 students, but can't otherwise. This configuration will only widen that gap. I don't like that the committee members are under my command only reinforces this impression of distinction."
"Ah... Quite impressive, Mari. You had even included this in your calculations? I thought you only cared about Tatsuya-kun." Mayumi added
"Please shut up president" Suzune scolded from her seat.
It was certainly a good idea but if Mari only included 1 person, it wouldn't change things. It will take a major overhaul if that distinction is to change.
"President... as the Vice President, I object to appointing Shiba Tatsuya as Disciplinary Committee member. While me accept that Chairman Watanabe has pointing out the fact in his statement, the original mission of the members of the Disciplinary Committee was to uncover and subdue the rules against violators of the school rules. A Course 2 student who is lacking in magic ability cannot perform the duties of a Disciplinary Committee member. Wrong placement will definitely damage your reputation as President. Please reconsider. "
"Wait a moment!" Miyuki snapped, who couldn't stand her brother being belittled anymore.
"My words may sound bold, Vice President. My brother's practical skills in magic may indeed be average, but that's only because of the exam practice was ineffective in measuring my brother's strength. In a real battle, my brother won't lose to anyone."
"HAAACCHIIIIIII!!!!!!"
.
"Hachii!! I think I have a cold.."
.
"Haarrggchoorghh!!! Rrrghh..."
.
"Achou!"
"What is this? Grandpa vampire has a cold? Haha.. hachou!!
"Ha! Look who's getting hit by karma now!! Hahaha.."
.
"Fouchouuu!!"
.
"A.. aachiiii !!"
.
At that time, many inhabitants of the earth experienced sneezing at the same time.
.
"Muramasa-kun! Are you sick? Here, use this tissue!" Azusa swiftly approached Shirou with the tissue box.
"Thank you Senpai..?"
"Nakajou Azusa that's my name."
"Thank you Nakajou-senpai and for your question earlier, I don't know myself because I feel in good health."
"I'm grateful"
"Sorry about earlier Shiba-san, please continue what you wanted to say earlier."
Miyuki was only even more unhappy now, especially after Shirou's sneeze earlier.
"Regardless of what happens, Magicians should make judgments in a calm and logical manner. Biased opinions may be unavoidable for normal people, but for people aiming to become a Magician, please remember that you must not let your opinion be biased and cloud your decision."
"My opinion is unbiased! Onii-sama could use his power more-"
"Miyuki enough!" Tatsuya immediately stopped Miyuki before she went too far. The girl now can only look down in shame and regret for not being able to control her emotions anymore.
"Vice President Hattori, why don't we
just do a sparring battle?" Said Tatsuya who immediately received various types of gazes from the audience.
"What...?" Hattori said in shock.
"Don't be so arrogant, you're only a 2nd course student!"
"Kyaa!"
The one who let out a small scream was Azusa.
The other three, as expected of upperclassmen, remained calm. And then, a small wry smile appeared on the face of the troubled person who was getting the insults.
"What is so funny!"
"A Magician has to stay calm, right?"
"Kuh!"
After his own words were thrown back at him in a mocking form, Hattori held his breath. Tatsuya didn't stop there. He didn't feel like stopping.
"Like that, I thought that we wouldn't know each other's anti-personnel combat skills without having an actual fight unavoidable."
To Hattori, that sounded like a challenge.
"... Fine. I'll teach you a good lesson so you know your rightful place."
It wasn't just his mouth that had betrayed his agitation. The tone that left his mouth revealed the depth of his anger. Without even a moment's delay, Mayumi interjected.
"As the Student Council President, I authorized the formal sparring battle match between Class B's second year student, Hattori Gyoubu and Class E's first year student, Shiba Tatsuya."
"On the basis of the Student Council President's declaration, as the Disciplinary Committee Chair, I acknowledge that the match between the two of you is a legitimate extracurricular activity that complies with school regulations."
"The time of the match will start in thirty minutes from now, in the third practice room, the match is closed to the public, and I allow the use of CAD by both sides."
It was a measure to prevent the match from turning into a violent incident of brawling prohibited by the rules school.
Hearing the declaration from Mayumi and Mari with a serious expression and an indifferent voice, Azusa began typing rapidly into the terminal on her desk to sort things out.
'Shouldn't the two of them be able to prevent this from happening? And since Saegusa-senpai and Watanabe-senpai had a higher authority than Hattori-senpai, didn't that mean that his opinion didn't carry any power? Did they both expect this? Ah well, I have another problem that I have to prioritize..' Shirou thought
"Excuse me.. what about me? Can I go home already?" Shirou casually immediately broke the tense atmosphere in the room
"Ah right, um.. about your problem we will discuss it here while waiting for the match later."
"Then I too-"
"No Hattori, you should go prepare yourself before your duel with Shiba Tatsuya-kun." This time Mari wasn't going to leave any room for Hattori.
"Alright" And reluctantly, he walked out of the room.
"Then we'll excuse ourselves." Said Tatsuya while bowing respectfully to his senpai followed by Miyuki.
"Good luck." Was what Tatsuya said to Shirou as he stopped in his tracks beside Shirou.
"Yeah, you too" To which Tatsuya answered with a nod before exiting the room with Miyuki who was blatantly...
"I hope you are punished severely..." Miyuki whispered but loud enough for Shirou and Tatsuya to hear who could only sigh with his sister's attitude.
And when the two of them were out of the room, in the last seconds before the door closed.
"Thank you for your support Imoutou-chan!" Shirou said loudly so that everyone could hear including the two Shiba siblings.
"W-what! You-" Unfortunately Miyuki's protest was cut off by the door of the room which had closed completely.
"Hoh.. looks like you're quite close to Miyuki, nee Kouhai-kun." Say Mari with a sweet smile.
"If taunting each other is what you call close, then it's probably like that." Shirou replied casually.
"From ridiculing each other turned into loving each other" Suzune said with a small smile.
"O oh, just like in shoujou manga!" This clearly made Mayumi become excited.
"Eh? Doesn't that mean it's going to be a love triangle!?" Asked a blushing Azusa imagining Shirou trying to steal Miyuki from Tatsuya.
"Ah you're right, A-chan! It's going to be a love triangle!"
"Please stop there senpai! Imoutou-chan is beautiful but she's not my type so please refocus on my problem ok." Shirou tries to stop this strange topic so that the problem can be solved quickly so he can go home soon.
"If a girl as pretty as Miyuki isn't your type then what is your type Kouhai-kun?" Mari decided to extend the game. After the tension of the previous it was clear she and the others needed a bit of refreshment and teasing the kouhai in front of her was rejuvenating for her.
"Come on, can't we just stop this?"
"Answer my question and it will end there."
'But a woman who's my type huh..' thought Shirou as he was thinking about this.
Then, a wave of memories came attacking his head featuring many beautiful women all at once, A fairy girl who was a little tomboyish, a noble lady who was very greedy, a tsundere girl with twin tails, a kouhai who always came to her house, a brown-haired classmate, an onee-chan who wanted to be imoutou, a mature woman with glasses, a nun who always insults him, a certain curry fan, an onee-san of the holy church, a brunette queen who often hires him services, an ojou-sama with her signature laugh, a girl with long braided blonde hair, a woman who works as a debt collector, a girl who loves astronomy, a bespectacled senpai, a red-eyed rune girl, and...
"Come on Shirou, you just need to control your breath, then kick the tree like this!"
Crack.. crack.. boom!!
"See, it's not difficult right?" She said while showing a beautiful smile.
"Nee-san, there's no way I could uproot a tree with just one kick without the help of Magecraft." 13 year old Shirou protested at the woman in front of him.
"What do you mean can't? You see that right? If I can do it without the help of Magecraft, you should be able to do it too." The woman said annoyed that her foster brother didn't want to try what she taught him.
"No way, I don't have the power of a monster like you nee-san, ouch ouch.. Nee-san is sick! Ouch ouch.." Said 13 year old Shirou as he hung in the air due to his head being tightly gripped and lifted up in the air so that he could be the same height with a beautiful woman in front of him.
"How dare you call a beautiful girl like me a monster, nee Shi-ro-u-kun."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!
Shirou could only scratch the back of his head while taking his attention away from Mari.
'Heh, aren't you quite cute Kouhai-kun' thought the girl.
Then suddenly Shirou took a deep breath and after calming down Shirou looked at Mari determinedly to answer her question.
"... That's you Watanabe-senpai."
".. What? What do you mean?"
"I mean like I said, you're my type Watanabe-senpai, actually.. I fell in love with you from the first sight. So.. even though I'm angry because you insulted my cooking but deep down I'm well.. you know, I feel happy because I can talking directly to you like this.."
There was a moment of silence, then...
"Kyaaa!! A love confession! Come, you can't just silence, come on you have to answer Kouhai-kun's confession too~" Mayumi had entered her pure teenage girl mode now, Azusa could only cover her mouth in shock at the change in the situation, Suzune too though slightly but she clearly did not expect this.
"W-what? Erm.. ok, I'm glad that you feel that way towards me but sorry! I already have someone in my heart.. sorry again! I can't accept your love!" Said the Head of the Disciplinary Committee while lowering her head, this also aims to hide the blush on her face.
Mari is no doubt a beautiful woman who has many fans. But because of her character, many male students weren't confident about confessing their feelings to her and Mari was obviously aware of the rumours. But there was one person she met at a dojo who dared to confess his love to her, therefore seeing a student dare to confess his love to her in front of many Student Council members made her blush slightly. In the end she was still a teenage girl.
"I don't care.." Shirou said weakly but enough for the others to hear.
"... Eh?"
"I don't care whether you have someone you love or not! I don't care whether you have a boyfriend or not! I don't care whether you are engaged or not! I don't care about any of that!"
"What do you mean...?" Asked Mari who didn't understand what Shirou meant.
"I don't care, because as long as you're not married it means I still have a chance."
"Muramasa-kun! You can't be like that. You also have to respect Mari-senpai's feelings." Said Azusa who tried to stop Shirou before taking the wrong path. As a senpai, it is her duty to guide her kouhai to the right path.
"This is love, Nakajou-senpai, and love is the same as war. You need to fight to win it."
The girls in the room were obviously starting to get agitated for different reasons but the cause of it all was the same young man.
Shirou then closed his eyes while controlling his breath, then opened them again. Like an eagle staring at its prey.
Shirou's golden brown eyes stared straight into Mari's brown eyes. A daring grin plastered on his face.
"You better prepare yourself Watanabe-senpai, because I will definitely take you away from the man in your heart. I will definitely make you fall in love with me."
Mari now couldn't face Shirou like before.
"... Why? Why did you go that far?" Mari said weakly but that was enough for Shirou to hear.
"Because I love you." Shirou said that while smiling gently and calmly.
Mari was as red as a tomato now. She had never experienced anything like this before. The confession she received earlier was in a restaurant to eat a romantic dinner, and what was happening now seemed to her to be insane.
Suzune couldn't help but widen her eyes at the sight, a bright blush adorning both sides of her cheeks. Azusa had turned as red as a tomato, ok, she was even emitting steam from her head. While Mayumi started jumping up and down while covering the blush on her cheeks and smirk on her mouth with both hands.
'Kyaa!!! It really is like a story in a shoujou manga!!' Was what was going through the mind of the girl who was jumping up and down.
"Ok, please forgive me, I was just kidding." Shirou said while bowing his body perfectly.
".."
"..."
"..."
"What!!!!" Said the four teenage girls
"So you're just playing me!!!!"
"Kouhai-kun! How dare you toy with a girl's feelings!!"
"You're the worst."
"Muramasa-kun! You can't play with a girl's feelings!!!"
Simply put, the four girls gave a five-minute long lecture to Shirou who was forced to sit in seiza. After that, since their time was limited to 20 minutes, they returned to focus on the main issue regarding Mari's suspicion of a dangerous ingredient in Shirou's cookies and to solve this problem, they were now in the cooking club room of the school, having received permission from the girl who is the president of the cooking club who happens to be Azusa's classmate. Makoto Hotaru.
Of course this school has a cooking club and other clubs just like a normal high school.
Why are they in the cooking club? That's because Shirou will practice how he makes cookies.
Where at this time Shirou was standing in front of the cooking area while being watched by Mari, Mayumi, Suzune, Azusa, Hotaru, and 8 cooking club girls who were interested in watching this, because Shirou didn't mind being watched either.
And there was an impromptu cooking class that afternoon.
"First, we put in the egg yolks, remember only the yolks are ok, then we beat them with a fork" Shirou said as he deftly separated the egg yolks from the egg whites, and put the egg yolks into the container he had prepared.
"Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of sugar, then just beat slowly ok."
"Kouhai-kun! Is it okay if you add more sugar?" Raising her hand Mayumi asked Shirou from the chair he was sitting on.
"Yes you can do that, but please not too much because it's not good for health."
"Ok~"
"Add 10 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of powdered milk, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Then mix with your hands until the dough becomes smooth."
Not to worry, Shirou was already wearing plastic gloves.
"Once the dough is ready, we can start heating the oven over low heat." Shirou said while preparing the oven.
"Next, let's make the dough into small balls the size of marbles, then flatten it using a fork. But remember not to make it too thin or too thick, because that can affect the degree of doneness of the cookies."
Surprisingly, the audience watched it all seriously and some even recorded all the steps for making it.
"Once everything is ready we can put the cookie sheet into the oven and start baking it over low heat for 10 minutes."
While waiting for the cookies to cook, Shirou was immediately surrounded by members of the cooking club who bombarded him with all kinds of culinary questions.
After 10 minutes had passed, Shirou took the cookies out of the oven and put them in the jars that were already in the room.
"Now we just have to wait for it to cool down."Shirou said after putting all the cookies into the jar which he left open.
"This will take a long time.." Mari said with a sigh.
"About that, I actually have a solution to save time but I need permission from you or from Saegusa-senpai." Shirou said while looking at the two girls he was referring to.
"You have a solution to shorten this, but you need permission from… wait, do you want-" Mayumi didn't have time to finish her sentence because Mari was the one who said what she wanted to say.
"You want to use your magic on food." Mari said while narrowing her eyes.
"Wait a minute, we can't add magic to the food, it's dangerous!" Hotaru protested the head of the cooking club.
"No, it's actually harmless as long as you know how to use it. So will you trust me and allow me to use my magic?"
".."
".."
".."
"Alright, as student council president. I allow you to use your magic." Obviously this surprised a lot of people.
"Mayumi you can't-"
"Calm down Mari. I'm sure it's fine. Besides, we can see Kouhai-kun's magic~"
"... Haaah, alright. As the disciplinary committee chair I also give you permission to use your magic." With a sigh Mari also gave permission to Shirou.
"Thank you, ..! Yes, Nakajou-senpai." Before Shirou could use his magic, his attention was diverted to Azusa who raised her hand.
"If you are going to use your magic? Where is your CAD, Muramasa-kun?"
"There isn't any."
"..?" Azusa became confused now.
"I won't use a CAD, I don't have a CAD after all." Shirou explained to his senpai.
"You mean you're going to use magic without a CAD!?" Azusa asked in shock.
"Yeah, is something wrong Nakajou-senpai?"
"Ah no, sorry about earlier. You know, the majority of magicians these days always use CADs to use their magic. So, knowing that you'd be using magic without the aid of a CAD shocked me...sorry uuu..." Azusa turned red again from embarrassed.
"It's fine, do you want to take a close look at Nakajou-senpai?" Shirou tries to cheer up his tiny senpai with an offer to see one of his skills up close. Even though he didn't really know, would the magic he was going to use be enough to cheer up his senpai or not? Considering that he would be using fairly simple magic.
"Ah yes!"
"I want to see Kouhai-kun too!"
"Me too!
"I also want to!"
"Everyone calm down!" Mari snapped at the girls.
Later, after a brief discussion session it ended up being just Azusa, Mayumi, Mari, Suzune, and Hotaru watching Shirou's magic up close.
"So, how are you going to do it?" Asked the curious Mari.
"Like this."
Shirou then closed the jar containing the cookies. Then with his mental command, he activated a circuit magic to change his Od or better known as Psion nowadays, after Shirou turned his Od into prana, and channeled it into the index finger of his left hand.
The spectators now watched as the tip of Shirou's left forefinger was glowing dimly with blue light.
Then Shirou started to write a single Rune letter on the lid of the jar by using his index finger to carve it, then he sent prana into the engraving.
Then he activated the Rune while thinking about the Goddess of Winter.
Since this is a type of single action spell, Shirou only needs to send out his magical energy to activate the Rune.
A light mist started to cover the jar, then Shirou quickly deactivated the Rune, so that the cookies inside the jar wouldn't get too cold or even freeze. Then Shirou used Alteration to make the lid of the jar return to its original state and no longer have traces of Rune carvings.
After that, Shirou opened the jar and arranged all the cookies on a serving plate.
"Okay, the cookies are ready. Who wants to try it first?" Shirou asked enthusiastically. But he was only answered with silence as all the girls were looking at him with the confused looks of Mayumi's group, interest from Hotaru, and star? From the girls in the cooking club.
"Muramasa-kun! How can you engrave a spell on an ordinary object so easily and quickly!? Then what kind of magic is that? Is that-"
"A-chan calm down first!" Mayumi cut in then she looked at Shirou more seriously now.
"Muramasa-kun, I wouldn't say that I'm an expert but I'm quite confident with my knowledge of magic, and from what you practice, I can tell that it's a traditional type of magic. As far as I know, even traditional magic takes time. It takes a long time and careful preparation to engrave a spell on an object, and the object that will have the spell implanted into it cannot be haphazard. But what you are showing is something different... Muramasa-kun, what exactly is this magic? How do you can carve spells on simple objects so easily?" It was obvious she was getting serious now.
"Can't we just skip this? Look, the cookies are ready and don't you guys still have assignments elsewhere."
"I'm sure they can wait for us." Suzune said.
"You just say it, right Muramasa-kun?." Add Mari.
"You should know that trying to dig up information about other magicians' magic crafts is a taboo. But let's put it like this, don't easily believe what is spread in the public." Shirou replied casually while looking straight into Mayumi's eyes.
'Even the princess of the Saegusa Clan didn't recognize simple Rune Magecraft like this at all and mistook this for traditional magic... Well it can't be helped, the Moonlit World has always been a mystery.
What the world knows as modern magic today is actually the development of a new type of thaumaturgy created by a group of magi in America.
In 1999, they did something stupid that made Magecraft known to the world, this forced the Magic Association and the Holy Church to work together and pull the strings from behind the scenes so even though this new type of thaumaturgy is known to the world now, but the existence of the Moonlit World is still a secret .
Mayumi continued to look Shirou straight in the eye.
"Haaah.. you're right, pardon our impudence." Mayumi lowered her head in apology, the other three girls also followed suit.
"That's fine, so... want some chocolate cookies?" Said Shirou with a friendly smile.
"Of course!" Mayumi immediately took one cookie and slowly ate it, or so it should have happened but before she had a chance to bite into the chocolate cookie.
Mari quickly steal it.
"Eh..? Come on! Those are my cookies!"
"Remember what we're here for, so let me give it a try ok." Said Mari who coquettishly winked one eye.
"Hn, okay!" This obviously made Mayumi turn into displeasure and cutely puffed out her cheeks.
"Let's find out how it feels, aaem krs.. krs.. ...!" And the girl was immersed in her own world now.
"Hahaha .. see she also experienced it!" Mayumi childishly laughed at Mari.
This obviously made the other girls curious, Shirou could only shake his head when he saw that and distributed cookies to every girl in the room.
And when he saw the girls enjoying the taste of the chocolate cookies he made, the young man couldn't help but smile softly, then he stepped out of their wake to go home immediately.
.
.
The third practice room, First High.
By now, both Hattori, Tatsuya, and Miyuki had grown tired of waiting for the arrival of Mayumi and the others.
"I will look for them." Hattori said before leaving the room.
"Haaah.. it's past 10 minutes from the promised time but the others haven't come yet." complained Tatsuya.
"Erm.. surely they are punishing that person now for being proven wrong." Miyuki said while nodding her head.
While Tatsuya could only sigh seeing that.
Hey everyone we meet again in this simple story!!! This will be the last chapter of Fate Irregular Magician for this month!!
Ok, first let's discuss about the story of this chapter !!!
1. We start this story with a morning activity at the house of the very harmonious Muramasa family.
2. We see the main group that will be seen together a lot in this story, then Mayumi comes to join them on their way to school and not long after comes Shirou on his old bicycle.
3. We are introduced to the girls from the Student Council, and here Mayumi has fallen victim to Shirou's cookies. So that made Mari order Tatsuya to bring Shirou to meet her after school later.
4. We see how Shirou's ability in modern magic is very average. And here it is clear that the entire class 1 E has become a victim of Shirou's cookies.
5. We find a small interaction between Shirou and Miyuki. It was obvious that the girl didn't like people who had made fun of her Onii-sama.
6. An argument that occurred due to the selfishness and arrogance of the vice president of the student council, Hattori. Which eventually became a duel agreement between himself and Tatsuya.
7. We get a glimpse of the girls Shirou has been close to. Or in this case, the Shirou from his previous life. And we see the interaction between Shirou and his Onee-san.
8. We see how Shirou has toyed with a girl's feelings which ends with him having to sit in seiza while listening to the scolding from Mayumi and the others.
9. An impromptu cooking class brought by Shirou, where he will show you how to cook easy and simple chocolate cookies.
10. We learn here that Shirou can apply magic to food without making it poisoned.
11. Here we are told a little about the reasons why magic has become known to the world today.
12. Finally, the members of Shirou's food cult have increased.
13. We see three people who are indirect victims of Shirou's cooking.
.
Ok next is to discuss my plans for this story!!! Just be short.
1. This story will follow the storyline of Mahoukakou but I will add a lot here and there. But don't worry, I don't want to spoil the existing storyline.
Maybe
2. If any of you will comment.. "This shouldn't be like this!!!" or "You can't add this!!" So...
Stop reading this story and go to another story that suits your taste or maybe you can try to make your own fanfic story.
Hear! I know what I'm writing! I know which is the original information from canon! And I know where the fake information from fans is!
Remember this is a fanfic!! We, the writers, have complete freedom to bend the story to suit what we want. If the readers like it we will be happy, if not then what can we do.
I will still accept any of your comments, but remember that this is fanfic.
3. English problem. I've said this before in Fate Dungeon Myth but I'll say it again.
I also take advantage of this, for me to improve my English skills so please be patient and please understand. Hehehehe..
.
Ok, let's talk about my other story.
1. For the Fate Fanfic that I have often mentioned, I will release it on September. I postponed the release because September is my birth month.
But I was born at the end of the month not the beginning of September.
2. Fate Dungeon Myth is what I will be working on next and I plan to release 2 chapters at a time. Because I can't wait to sail in the desert.
3. Fate Lost Class, for chapters 4, and 5. I will make after chapter 12 Fate Dungeon Myth. So just look forward to it because I should be able to release it at the end of September.

I write all my stories for fun. This is one of my hobbies.
I write this in my free time while on break, or when I come home from work.
But that is if there are no other plans, and what is certain is that I write when I feel like writing.
Don't worry, I'm very careful about my health. If I'm sick, I can't go to work, if I don't work, I won't have any money.
That's why I really take care of my body's health!!!
You also have to take care of your health ok!! Eat regularly, exercise regularly, and get enough rest.
Thank you for those of you who have read to the end!!!
See you in the next chapter!!!!
