[Intruder]

Friday, April 30.

"Eh, Kyouko-san?"

When Mayumi arrived at the company's headquarters in Machida, she was greeted by Fujibayashi.

Fujibayashi is the grandchild of the late Patriarch of the Ten Master Clans, Kudou Retsu.

Mayumi's father, Saegusa Koichi was a student of Kudou Retsu when he was a child. Due to this connection, they both had known each other since before Mayumi entered high school.

"Good morning, Mayumi-san."

"......Do you two know each other?"

Ryousuke, who had just arrived at the office, asks quizzically. Furthermore Ryousuke and Fujibayashi have already introduced themselves to each other.

"Yes. I think we've known each other for about ten years now."

"We first met nine years ago, Kyouko-san."

"But this is the first time that we're working together, isn't it?"

If it meant that they would work for the same company, since Mayumi just graduated from university this year, it would be obvious, but that's not what Fujibayashi meant.

Fujibayashi was in the military, and Mayumi had been a member of the Ten Master Clans since before graduating from college. It would be a good thing if they were to work together on the same mission, but for some reason, they didn't have the opportunity to do so. When Yokohama was invaded by the Allied Forces in October of 2095, they never got to fight side by side on the same battlefield in the end.

"Together you mean, Kyouko-san is also working for the Magian Company?!"

"I don't think it's that surprising. Didn't you know that I left the Defense Forces?"

"Yes, I knew that, but......."

As mentioned, Mayumi and Fujibayashi knew each other through their families. And even though Kudou Retsu passed away before Fujibayashi retired from the military, that did not break the relationship between the Kudou family and the Fujibayashi family, to whom Kudou Retsu's daughter married, and the Saegusa family. While neither family was informed individually about Fujibayashi's resignation from the military, it wasn't a secret either. The Saegusa family didn't overlook this information.

"Of course I have to work somewhere, don't I?"

"I just thought that you returned to your parents' house......"

"No, I don't want that. If I went back to my parents' house or such, they would surely force me into marriage. Unlike Mayumi-san, I've already passed the age."

Mayumi couldn't deny Fujibayashi's self-deprecating words. It wasn't just Numbered magicians who were required to marry early. Given that the Fujibayashi family is from a prestigious lineage of Ancient Style magicians, the pressure and ties of tradition are stronger than those of the younger, less prestigious Ten Master Clans." It was easy for Mayumi to guess that the phrase "forced into marriage" was more than a joke.

"Fortunately, after I quit the army, the Yotsuba family picked me up."

"......And, as a result, you joined this company?"

"That's it. I've been working with Executive Director Shiba in various things since before I started working here."

When Fujibayashi said "work", it was neither FLT nor stellar reactor-related; it was the sort of work that was not openly talked about, but Mayumi did not understand that much.

"That's enough small talk for now. Mayumi-san,
