"Hello, I'm Mio Itsuwa. I've often heard rumors about you from Mayumi. Now that I see you, it's clear that your reputation is well-deserved," Mio Itsuwa exclaimed.

The young man before her had an even more impressive presence than she had seen in the video. His handsome appearance and refined demeanor already surpassed that of her younger brother.

If he were to truly compete with Yoshimi for Mayumi's affections, would Yoshimi really have a chance of winning...?

She hoped that Nanagusa Hiroichi's good fortune would not go to outsiders, and the thought that Yotsuba Mahiro, an outsider, would take away her beloved sister-in-law naturally made Itsuwa Mio feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, the gaze directed at Mahiro was not exactly friendly.

"Hello, junior Shinsuke, I am Hirofumi Itsuki, and I was also a student at No. 1 High School before." Hirofumi Itsuki said with a wry smile.

Putting aside magical power, just by meeting him now, Hirofumi Itsuki felt he had already lost.

Not to mention that Mayumi and the other person are so close.

"Hehe, Zhenxun, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Mayumi pulled him to sit on the sofa to the side, which perfectly presented a three-way standoff.

Mayumi actually poured him a cup of refreshing barley tea.

Her virtuous demeanor instantly filled the air with a subtle tension.

The brief silence was broken by two exclamations.

"Wow, we have a guest! He's so handsome! I'm Kasumi Nanakusa, Mayumi's younger sister."

"I am Nanakusa Izumi, and I am also Mayumi's younger sister."

"Hello, I am Yotsuba Mahiro, a junior of Nanagusa Mayumi-senpai."

Kasumi and Izumi, two little girls, ran hand in hand into the living room and excitedly circled around Mahiro.

This left Mayumi speechless.

They had just met, but now they were acting like they were meeting for the first time. How could she, as the older sister, not know what they were up to?

Most importantly, Junior Shin actually cooperated with them in their act!

"Hehe, did big brother come here to propose marriage to our father?" As if afraid that things wouldn't get big enough, Kasumi blinked her big eyes and asked.

"I thought so too. It's the first time Mayumi-neechan has invited a boy to her house, so their relationship must be special... right, neechan?"

Listening to her two younger sisters talking about shameless things, Mayumi slapped her forehead.

"Enough! Don't you have any manners? You should greet your elders first," Nanaguso Hiroichi sneered.

The twins then "noticed" the awkward siblings, Mio and Hiroshi Itsuwa, sitting to the side, and stuck out their tongues, displaying their lively nature.

"So...so you're here too, Mio-neechan and Hirofumi-nii-san." The twins, sitting obediently next to Nanakusa Hiroichi, giggled.

These two sisters are not only just as beautiful as Mayumi, but they also inherited her cunning and mischievous nature.

This behavior is clearly a deliberate attempt to target the Itsuki siblings.

"Hmm, it seems Izumi and Kasumi have grown up too. Hiroshi, you should talk to them more often," Mio Itsuwa said with a smile.

"..."

Wu Lun Yangshi, who was drinking tea to calm his mind, almost choked.

Sister, you can't be serious, how old are Izumi and the others?

Yang Shi felt somewhat helpless. He didn't want his sister and family to interfere with his love life, but unfortunately, being born into the Shishi clan meant he had no freedom to marry.

In short, everything is for the purpose of inheriting the family's excellent magical genes.

"Yang Shi, maybe you could consider it. My sisters are all very cute, and actually... actually I think... I think we're not a good match. Of course, it's all my fault. Yang Shi, you're a good person, there's nothing wrong with that."

Mayumi issued a "friend card" with a hint of apology.

But at this time, such behavior is undoubtedly like stabbing Gorin Yoshi in the heart.

Even though Hirofumi Itsuki had long since given up on marrying Mayumi, hearing this still made his heart bleed!

Seeing this, Mahiro decided to add fuel to the fire, so he said, "Mayumi-senpai is right, she likes me a lot, and I like Mayumi-senpai a lot too."

If you're going to put on a show, you might as well go all the way.

He even held Mayumi's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers.

At this moment, Mayumi's pretty face was almost cooked, full of shy blush, but she still nodded in agreement.

Seeing how close they were, Kasumi and Izumi couldn't help but gasp in surprise, looking even more nervous than Mayumi.

As for the person involved, Yoshiyuki Gorin, it was as if he had eaten bitter melon and bitter herbs, and he couldn't even speak.

The older sister, Gorin Mio, frowned, never expecting that this young man would actually compete with their Gorin family for a wife.

She was very supportive of her brother's marriage to Mayumi and had long planned to let them get married after Mayumi graduated.

Therefore, we must never give up!

Mio Itsuki stared intently at Mahiro, her expression grave, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Little brother Mahiro...you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

"It's alright, Sister Wulun."

"Alright, little brother Zhenxun, let me ask you, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

"We haven't decided on that yet."

"So you haven't planned for the future yet, right?"

Upon hearing Mio Itsuki's words, Mayumi's expression changed slightly, and even Hiroichi Nanakusa frowned slightly, sensing the underlying meaning.

Then, Mio Itsuki added, "Furthermore, I've heard rumors among the Ten Masters that you, Brother Shinji, have already been abandoned by the Yotsuba family, haven't you?"

"...What are you trying to say?"

Mahiro also sensed something was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, turning into a calm, still expression.

"I want to ask you, you have neither a future nor a family background. Do you really think you are worthy of Mayumi's excellence? Can you give her the future she wants?"

Perhaps you should choose someone else, like Izumi or Kasumi; their ages are a good match for yours.

Normally, the twin sisters should have been happy just by hearing the second half of the sentence, but after hearing the aggressive words in the first half, their expressions turned displeased.

They never expected that Mio would say such outrageous things!

Hirokazu Nanagusa, however, watched Yotsuba Mahiro with great interest, intending to see how he would deal with the strategic-level magician who refused to give up.

Anyway, I have three daughters, which is more than enough to satisfy both of them.

"Mio-nee, that's going too far!"

Mayumi could no longer hold back and said, "No matter what, it was I who chose Shinhiro, and his excellence is evident to all in the Ten Masters Clan!"

However, Mio Itsuwa completely ignored Mayumi's rebuttal, her gaze remaining fixed on Mahiro Yotsuba.

Mahiro patted Mayumi's hand.

Mayumi turned her head and saw that a smile had appeared on Mahiro's face again, without her noticing.

But that smile was different from any I'd seen before; it gave off a dangerous feeling!

Especially when he picked up the teacup and took a small sip, Hirokazu Nanagus's pupils shrank sharply behind his sunglasses, and his heart skipped a beat.

He actually saw Yotsuba Maya's shadow in this boy!

The movements, the expressions, the smiles—they were exactly the same!

Without a doubt, this is definitely Maya Yotsuba's child!

If someone were to peek into the teacup at this moment, they could even clearly see a few shooting stars flashing through it!

Mahiro slowly put down the tea, crossed his legs, and with an elegant smile on his lips, said, "I must say, you're absolutely right, Miss Itsuwa. Right now, I really have nothing."

But that doesn't mean I won't have one in the future.

Furthermore, since Mayumi said she doesn't like Itsuwa-senpai, he should look to other girls and not put all his eggs in one basket.

“It’s okay if Mayumi doesn’t like it now; feelings need to be cultivated. Marriages within the Ten Masters Clan aren’t something she can decide on her own,” Mio Itsuki said.

The Ten Masters' clans often intermarried, and even if there were no suitable matches, they would choose from among the Hundred Families. Mio Itsuki's reason for not accepting Mahiro Yotsuba was quite simple—

In her eyes, Yotsuba Mahiro was an abandoned child of the Yotsuba main family, belonging to the lost lineage, and was not worthy of Nanagusa Mayumi at all!

Chapter 60 Spell Reversal: Reversing Ghostly Inflicts

"Yeah."

Mahiro finally understood why Mayumi said she wasn't good at dealing with Mio Itsuki: it was because she was powerless to oppose the marriage arranged by the Ten Masters Clan.

If she hadn't appeared and given the Nanakusa family another option, she might have ended up marrying Itsuwa Hirofumi.

"In that case, what does Uncle Hongyi think?" Mahiro slowly looked at the head of the Nanaku family, who had been watching the show in silence.

“Although Mahiro was abandoned by Maya Yotsuba and expelled from the Yotsuba main family, I admire his talent. So this matter depends on Mayumi's personal wishes, and I will not interfere,” said Hiroichi Nanakusa.

He truly is a cunning old fox.

Not only did they absolve themselves of all responsibility, but they also had the ambition to have it all.

You're taking both food and money!

"Honestly, Kasumi is willing to marry Mahiro!" Kasumi said, raising her hand.

"Izumi...Izumi is fine too."

"Hehe, look how much Kasumi and Izumi like you. You're the one who needs to worry about their feelings, Shinji. Not all girls are that nice."

Mio forced a smile.

Are their younger brothers really inferior to others? Why do the three women of Nanagus treat them with such obvious differences in attitude?

Mayumi smacked them on the head and scolded them harshly, "You two are only in middle school! It's too early to talk about marriage. At least wait until high school!"

"But...didn't Father arrange for you to meet Yoshi back when you were in the third year of junior high school?" Izumi covered her head and complained to her sister, feeling wronged.

Watching this spectacular family drama unfold, Mahiro finally uttered a statement that left everyone speechless—

"Since Kasumi and Izumi both like me so much, I don't mind taking them all. Whether it's Mayumi-senpai, or Kasumi and Izumi, I'll marry them both!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone looked at Yotsuba Mahiro with surprise.

Even Hiroichi Nanakusa looked at him with particular surprise.

Although he did have this intention, after all, Shinjiro's magical power was indeed beyond imagination, not to mention that he had also helped optimize the Nanakusa family's secret techniques, and now even his two youngest daughters could use them independently.

However, he never expected to hear Yotsuba Mahiro say such a thing himself.

While Mayumi stared blankly at him, the twin sisters cheered and jumped for joy.

They didn't care whether they shared a husband; what they cared more about was whether the sisters could be together and whether the elder sister could be happy.

And whether she can marry someone she likes.

After all, polygamy is extremely common in magician families.

At this moment, Mio Itsuki's face had darkened.

Although Hiroshi is indeed a bit worse than Ichijo Masaaki and Jumonji Katsuto, he is still not the worst among the younger generation of the Juji clan!

Why do the three sisters of the Nana family not even glance at their own brother?

Even if marriage in a magical family is like a transaction, the Five Rings family and his own title as a strategic magician are enough bargaining chips!

"Sister... that's enough, let's go back," Yang Shi pleaded.

"Yoshi, it was clearly our Itsuki family who first came to negotiate a marriage alliance with the Nanakusa family. As a man, you shouldn't give up; you should take back the woman you love right in front of her."

Mio Itsuwa clearly remembers that Mayumi and Hirofumi had a very good relationship when they were young, so how could she not want to get married?

So it's all the boy's fault; he ruined the relationship between his younger brother and Mayumi.

"I'm sorry, sister, I really can't do it."

He and Mayumi had absolutely no romantic feelings for each other, and he felt it was better to separate as soon as possible. He hadn't dared to say anything before because of his sister's encouragement.

"Hmph! Since you don't dare, then I'll step in for you." Mio Itsuki pushed her wheelchair up to Mahiro Yotsuba, her eyes fixed on him intently: "Little Mahiro, I want you to give up Mayumi!"

"Why? Are you kidding me?" Zhenxun almost laughed. Was this woman really that unreasonable?

"Just because I am one of the thirteen apostles, since you dare to steal a wife from our Five Wheels family... are you prepared to bear the consequences of our Five Wheels family's wrath?" This seemingly weak woman suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura.
