บท 26: Chapter 25: Hironaka Siblings
'Ah, so is this what she meant when she said Magical Territory?' Ryu thought as the amount of mana looming all over the air was the same as the one in the inheritance island that they were in before.
Lilia glanced at him while he was looking out the window, his chin lying atop his palm. Seeing this made her dazzled despite seeing this scene many times. She shook her head slightly as she focused on the road.
'The atmosphere feels great! It almost feels as excellent as otherworlds' mana-filled air.' Ryu thought as he opened the window slightly to let some fresh air in, and he then immediately closed it afterward.
Of course, the girls were also dazzled by the fantastic view. Although there were multiple similar forests, it didn't feel this mystical since the mana was bare, but it was satisfactory.
"We're almost there," Lilia said with a smile as they passed through the valley of cherry blossoms. A beautiful villa came into sight as they neared their destination, and it looked pretty grand rather than having a modern look. Ryu couldn't help but grin as he thought, 'They have quite a taste.'
They neared a gate, forcing them to stop, but the ate soon opened, letting them pass through it. Ryu wandered his eyes all over the place as he felt some presence of a defense mechanism.
Although his senses and body couldn't be compared to his past self, he was still perspective enough to sense these kinds of things, but Emma and the others? No… well, maybe except for Lilia.
Bells seemed to ring out as they drove through the path towards the mansion, and as they arrived, Fumiko went out of the door with a friendly and formal smile plastered upon her face. She was already completely dressed in her work attire. After all, she is the headmistress of the Grandis Magic Academy.
Lilia drove a bit closer, and then they all got out of the car with Fumiko greeting them. "I didn't think you'd be this early! Well, being early isn't bad at all! That means the students here can still catch up to my sister's lesson later."
"Sister?" Hina couldn't help but ask. Fumiko simply smiled as she said, "Yes, my sister. You already met her yesterday, Professor Chiyo Hironaka."
"Ahh! You do have a resemblance!" Hina smiled widely. Fumiko slightly giggled as she turned around, saying, "Well, come on in! I'd hate to see my guests just standing around outside. Welcome to my humble abode!"
Lilia raised her brow slightly as they entered the room, and Fumiko turned back to look at them. She couldn't help but burst out into laughter as she said, "Acting so formal really doesn't fit you."
With a wry smile, Fumiko said, "Sigh, it really doesn't! I don't know how Chiyo does it!"
"Well, just stay the way you are! You're cuter that way!" Lilia grinned.
"If that's true, then why do I still not have a husband?!" Fumiko crossed her arms with an exasperated sigh.
Seeing this banter between two friends, Ryu couldn't help but laugh at the side. Reika and the others were also quite amused. On the other hand, Aoi had a solemn face as if she was thinking of something incredibly important.
In Aoi's mind, 'Fumiko Hironaka…. Fumiko Hironaka… I recognize that name. Where do I…? Wait…. WAIT!'
"Umm! Miss Fumiko, are you the owner of ZMPC!?" Aoi exclaimed with shining eyes. It was as if she had met her idol. Fumiko turned to look at Aoi, causing her to smile proudly as she said, "I am~! Were you the girl that Lilia asked me to make an exception for? I heard from one of my executives that you were incredibly hardworking! I gladly allowed your absences, especially since you're now a student in the academy! Well done!"
Fumiko suddenly became a bit too talkative. Well, she certainly was excited that she had finally met the most hardworking member of her company.
"Okay, okay, enough with your company and tell them what you made them go here for!" Lilia sternly said, but she did have a wonderful smile on her face.
'
Fumiko nodded as she cleared her throat. "Okay, I made you come here today because I wanted to give you gifts, mainly because of my partnership with Ryu with him becoming the academy's professor."
"Although, at first, I thought of only Ryu receiving a gift, but… you guys have the same aura as the gifts that I have prepared today." Fumiko said with her eyes scanning over all of them. Ryu instantly knew that she was trying to assess all of them.
After a second, she stopped squinting her eyes, and a satisfied smile roused on her face. She then beckoned everyone to follow her, and everyone abided and followed her as she led them towards an elevator.
They entered, and Fumiko pressed a button that led them towards a chamber with multiple security systems. Right after Fumiko bypassed all of them, they then entered the chamber, revealing a gigantic laboratory.
"You and your siblings really hadn't changed at all. Oh, is that Kiyo?" Lilia said as she looked around and saw a person sitting on the top of the head of a giant mech suit.
'Shit, this suddenly became sci-fi,' Ryu thought as he looked at the woman who was welding something atop the head that seemed to be damaged. Ryu observed the mech and found considerable damage all over it. 'It seems that this was in a recent battle.'
"Kiyo, the guests are here! Come back down!" Fumiko shouted loudly. Kiyo then removed her welding helmet, fixed her hair, and looked over. Seeing Ryu and the others, she smiled as she jumped down the mech and landed slowly on the ground using wind magic.
The woman named Kiyo had lusciously long black hair and gray eyes. She was wearing some type of modified shrine outfit that doesn't but also has sleeves…? She fixed her glasses, put on her headband, and looked toward Ryu.
Kiyo then rushed towards Ryu with sparkles in her eyes as she said, "ARE YOU THE GUY WHO USED ADVANCED SPACE MAGIC!?!?!?!"
Ryu was taken aback; he did not expect her to be this obnoxious. Fumiko cleared her throat, causing Kiyo to turn around and embarrassingly redid her introduction. "My name is Kiyo Hironaka, otherwise known as the SSS-class hero named Supernova."
'An SSS-class hero? But she only has an average amount of… wait!' Ryu scanned Kiyo, and he found out that instead of her body absorbing the mana around her, the mana around her seemed to circulate within her like they had their own free will.
This caused her mana reserves to have a faster restoration and release cycle. The moment that she used her mana, it would be immediately restored. Ryu then thought with a smile, " I had found one of the people who have the rarest bodies in the multiverse; my luck is… astronomical!'
Ryu introduced himself afterward, and so did the others aside from Lilia's disciples since they already knew who the Hironaka siblings were.
"Your ability to manipulate space magic is amazing! I simply didn't think that someone would be capable of manipulating space to that extent! As one of the lead researchers studying magic, I'm incredibly intrigued! The best this world could offer was storage space magic, but attack magic! Teleportation Magic! I have goosebumps!" Kiyo was quite talkative about the topic, causing Fumiko to smile wryly.
"I apologize for her, Ryu. She's just passionate about learning more about space magic. Okay, Kiyo, we've already wasted precious time. Let's show them the gifts!" Fumiko nudged Kiyo's back.
Kiyo fixed her glasses once more and said, "Follow me."
She then walked towards some type of conference table and tapped on it, causing holograms to appear. She then imputed some kind of code unto a holographic keyboard, and the whole place went dark.
The table glowed brightly as remnants of a space magic circle seemed to form. Multiple tools and weapons appeared. Ryu had a deadpan gaze as he thought, 'Isn't this basically an armory?'
Seeing his expression as the light slowly turned back on, Kiyo giggled lightly. Fumiko then spoke, "Pick whatever is to your liking."
"I did need a new weapon. This is a perfect chance to get one!" Lilia said lightly as she glanced over the weapons. There was an array of miscellaneous weapons, be it swords, spears, daggers, or even guns! And there were even some unorthodox weapons such as scythes, a fan, and chained… darts?
Reika was the only one who wasn't interested in picking up a weapon. In fact, she stayed behind as she said to Fumiko, "I don't really think that I need a weapon… I don't even know how to use one."
Fumiko just smiled as she gazed at her and replied, "Please, pick one; you don't actually need to use it, but treat it as an ornament, please."
Reika smiled, saying, "Then, I'll go ahead." She didn't see a reason to refuse as it was offered to her, so she started to look for something she liked. Just then. She saw a dazzling set of fans that made her feel a certain sense of nostalgia.
"What is this?" Reika whispered as she grabbed hold of the fan and placed it on her chest. Suddenly Reika seemingly radiated a certain aura that could only be described as pure beauty and art.
Fumiko was shocked, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This is —!"
