Chapter 1827 - Work Together?
After Haru and Miyuki parted from both Masaki and Shinkurou, they continued to talk the last conversation.
They talked about adding Tatsuya to the Monolith Code even though it wasn't impossible for Haru to do this, Haru knew that everyone would be dissatisfied, especially when both of his teams were coming from a famous family since if he replaced one of them with Tatsuya, both of them would be also very dissatisfied.
Miki was someone from a famous Ancient Family, and he was also Erika's childhood friend so Haru helped her by inviting Miki to the team. Miki's background was also a reason why the previous member didn't really mind being replaced by Miki.
As for Morisaki Shun, he was someone from the Hundred.
On the other hand, even though Miyuki and Tatsuya were from the Yotsuba clan, they hid their identity very well, and no one really knew about their background except for Haru, so there would be a lot of dissatisfaction when Tatsuya suddenly entered the Monolith Code's group, especially when there was still a lot of Course 1 students that could be chosen as a replacement, Tatsuya's chance was still far away.
Unless Tatsuya showed his worth, but all the plot or time where he could show his worth had been stolen by Haru.
Hearing Haru's words, Miyuki sighed, but she hoped that everyone in this country or the world, knew that her brother wasn't someone that they could look down upon and he was also very special, which was why she asked this request to Haru.
"Well, if you can persuade either Miki or Morisaki to replace their position with Tatsuya, then you can ask me again," Haru said.
"......" Miyuki.
Looking at Miyuki who showed a sad expression, Haru sighed and patted her head naturally. "Don't show me that kind of expression, I might be able to help, but I need to do some underhanded trick."
"What trick?" Miyuki asked. Even though she seemed clueless in front of her brother and appeared slightly stupid, all of that was deliberate since she wanted her brother to appear as an unreliable sister in front of her brother.
"Well, if one of the participants is hurt, then it might be possible for your brother to enter," Haru said.
"........" Miyuki looked at Haru in surprise.
"I'm not a good guy, Miyuki, but you should know that if you ask me this request, you're going to owe me," Haru said.
Miyuki blushed and asked, "Ar - Are you going to ask me to say "nyaa" again?"
"More than that, I want you to wear a maid uniform for me for a day," Haru said without hesitation since Maya, Sumire, and Suzune on the maid uniform was really amazing, but he was wondering how Miyuki was on the maid uniform. He was sure that Miyuki would be also very amazing.
"What?!" Miyuki's face was so red at that moment and thought that this guy was a pervert!
"Still, even if we're successful with this plan, I'm not sure whether Tatsuya will agree to join the event or not," Haru said.
"Huh? Why?" Miyuki was confused.
"Tatsuya might be a very talented and very strong magician, but you should see how the public sees him, right?" Haru said.
"But Onii-sama is very talented and strong!" Miyuki refuted with a frown.
"Yes, I know I have heard from Maya, but you should also know that because the world perceives him as a weak person, Tatsuya has very low-esteem," Haru said.
"Huh?" Miyuki was startled.
"I'm sure you've realized it, after all, even though Tatsuya might have lost his emotion, he's still a teenager. His emotions are easily affected by a lot of things, especially something that is related to magic, so when everyone sees him as a "weed", he only accepts silently, which causes him to have a low-esteem," Haru said calmly.
"........." Miyuki.
"Except of course, when it is related to his sister." Haru sighed and said, "Sometimes, I could sense his murderous gaze when he saw me close to you."
"............" Miyuki.
Haru looked at Miyuki with a smile and said, "I guess, not only you have a brother complex, but your brother also has a sister complex."
"HARU!!!!" Miyuki's face was so red at that moment.
"Well, Miyuki, why you're in hurry to make Tatsuya enter the Nine Schools Competition now? There's still next year after all, and we have three years of high school so what's the hurry? In the next year, I'll be able to control the First High School entirely since Juumonji-senpai, Mayumi-senpai, and Mari-senpai have graduated." Haru then moved closer to Miyuki's ear and whispered, "That way, you can do anything, even change your brother's status as a Course 1 student or even create an engineering class."
Haru's whisper was like a devil's contract on her ears, but Miyuki was tempted, after all, this way she could change everyone's perception of Tatsuya and she could make an environment where her brother could show his talent in front of everyone. She could also repay her brother, but...
Miyuki looked at Haru and asked, "Next year?"
"Next year." Haru nodded and said, "Next year, I can control the entire First High School entirely."
Miyuki didn't doubt Haru's words, after all, he had power, authority, money, and his status in the eyes of the students was similar to Mari, Juumonji, and Mayumi, controlling the First High School was a child play for him, and she only needed to wait for a year, which wasn't that bad.
"But what price do I need to pay?" Miyuki asked while staring at Haru. She didn't hate to do a transaction, or rather, it was also because of this transaction that she could trust him.
"You're my niece, why do you need to pay? Think of it as a gift from your uncle," Haru said with a smile.
".............." The corner of Miyuki's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and asked in irritation, "Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Haru looked at Miyuki for a while and said, "Just be kind to Maya and our child, don't cause too much trouble, that's what I want you to do and try to control your brother to not to be controlled by the military. I know that due to an incident a few years ago he has a connection with the military, and since then, he has been treated as a weapon by the military to keep his identity a secret. If Tatsuya can control the military, by becoming the general, then I don't really care much, but you should know Tatsuya's personality, because of his lack of emotion, he lacks a desire, which causes him to be easily used by people." He sighed and wondered why their mother would erase Tatsuya's emotion since that way, it caused this guy to be a super gullible person that could be easily used by anyone who was kind to him.
"........." Miyuki was stunned and felt complex when she heard his words since she thought that this guy was going to ask her a perverted request, but she didn't expect him to ask such a serious request. "...Why you ask me this?"
"You love your brother and I love Maya, so why don't we work together, so no one in this world can hurt our loved one?" Haru said with a smile and extended his hand toward Miyuki.
"........." Miyuki looked at Haru with a stunned expression and somehow she understood why her aunt could fall for him. His vision was different from normal people and his ambition made her entire body so excited, but...
"...Are you really not going to ask me for a perverted request?" Miyuki asked in doubt.
".............." Haru was wondering whether his image on everyone was so bad in front of this girl.
