Spoiler from "Wikia contributor 64.233.173.108 and 115.66.27.187" translated from baidu to English
- Gu jie want to tell Japan that 10mc will only protect themselves, leave Japanese in the lurch, Japanese will, because of 10mc, be killed. 10mc and the yotsuba will be force out of their home by the hate of the Japanese, just like how he lost his homeland, dahan. He smiled and stood up. At his feet , lies a family of corpse
- Benjamin was at the embassy during the attack he wanted to work with the Japan government to stop the attack but was not allowed. His mission is to kill heigu on the condition that there is no evidence of overreaching the Japan sovereignty.
- After questioning, 10mc went to magician association kanto branch by helicopter from masaki arrival. Saegusa twins and eldest brother, Katsuto, Masaki and Takuma was also there in another room. 10mc hold another meeting.
- Ichijou father wanted him to take leave from school to investigate but third high principal persuaded him to let masaki go first high.
- Meeting between 10mc is quite long. They discussed their pr strategy and whether to catch the culprit. In the end, tomokazu is the head of the operation while kastuto is the person in charge. Both tatsuya and masaki is under kastuto.
- Gouki told masaki the plan. He took leave from school so that masaki can investigate. He encouraged masaki to show his will to tatsuya.
- Maya told tatsuya the plan. Maya knew about the name of gu jie. Maya says that they will use fortune telling to find him. (Tatsuya explain this by saying they might have use some form of psychometry or post cognition magician.) Maya regrets not using balance information fully.
- It's quite likely that Masaki made to get closer to Miyuki is by transferring to First High for a period of a single month.
- that 3rd high principal is a former military and one year senior of Ichijo, used to break his nose during sparing, so they are old friends, an interesting side character, there will be no problem because Masaki will be learning from the 3rd high material via teleconferencing, (except physic ed. and practical training.) only using the 1st high facility. we are after all talking only a time duration of one month, which of course including valentine's day.
- After knowing who is the enemy, tatsuya went to Yakuno to counter ghostwalker. That night, he went to a meeting at Katsuto and Mayumi appeared surprisingly. They decided that the meetings are held everyday at a shop near magic university. Gu jie plan worked well. Even Kanon formed enemy with izumi. Takuma looked for Maki for help to stop the media as he feel responsible as a 10MC. Kuroba is able to use aura? To track people. Hence, he abet to a morgue to cast his tracking magic, to track gu Jie. Toshikazu and his partner went to find Kyoko.
- Tatsuya, Katsuto and Mayumi had their first meeting. Tatsuya arrived at university gate 5 minutes early and mayumi escorted him to the shop. Tatsuya Sat beside mayumi and was opposite Katsuto. At this moment, Tatsuya is wondering whether he had a romantic scenario with mayumi. Tatsuya provided the USNA information. After the meeting, he escorted Mayumi to her ride. It started to snow, and Tatsuya covered mayumi with the umbrella, Mayumi then hold onto his hand all the way to the stop.
- Kuroba found out Gu Jie place. All of the branch head and Tatsuya went to catch him. They didn't managed to catch him but found out that he was using enhanced people from the military. Toshikazu contacted Kyoko, then found out Inagaki was feeling unwell. Kyoko and 101's currently investigating Zhou incident. Shiba sibling was invited to Kitayama house. Shizuku father asked if they needed help, but was rejected by Tatsuya. If his family is involved, he will act upon it.
- Koichi met with 上野 congressman and pressure him to stop secretly inciting the public. Masaki arrived at first high, same class as miyuki. Tatsuya then told him about the meeting. After the meeting, he went back home first, questioning whether Miyuki is acting differently recently. Maya called and he explained to her that the military might be hiding Gu Jie and reveal that Mayumi is in the meeting. Miyuki was very jealous.
- During class, Miyuki was practicing with Masaki. Honoka asked masaki to have lunch together. (Might have the intention to couple up with Miyuki). At the lunch table, Tatsuya ,hearing the conversation, felt that love is like a war. After school, Tatsuya went to 101. He explained to Kazama about the military helping Gu Jie, and told him about Yotsuba attacking a base. He wished Kazama could pick up the pieces. When Tatsuya and Kuroba twins entered the base, they interrupted by USNA. USNA is able to get gu Jie Psion signature to track him down.
- Valentine day arrived. Tatsuya receive a lot of chocolate. Returned home, miyuki have recently made chocolate for him.(not much)
- Anti magic movement become bigger. 400-500 people gathered at magic university Gate. Inagaki head aches again, which worries Toshikazu. Under Maki help, Takuma allowed congressman to make an act, preventing the anti magic movement to stop rallying the people. Gu Jie felt anxious. Student started getting attacked. 2nd high girl student was attacked. Miyuki contacted minoru (vice president) to understand what happened.
- Tatsuya warned Minami to be more alert and change the type of shield to use . Toshikazu met Erika whether she met inagaki. From Kyoko, inagaki headache might be from gu Jie manipulation. Only haruka and toshikazu was there. He just asked whether Erika has met his partner.
- Minami Miyuki Izumi got attacked by anti magician group with Psion interference, antinite. Both minami and izumi wasn't able to do anything. Toshikazu and inagaki is being manipulated by Gu Jie.
- Tatsuya still see miyuki as a sister, still unable to respond to her feelings. But during Valentine, there is some "flashes" (scenes that show their love)
- Tatsuya feels that miyuki might face some danger. However, tatsuya still went and investigate gu jie. He believes that miyuki can handle these people but if something happens. Then the book ended.
Chapter 7
- It starts from yakumo teaching tatsuya about ghostwalker.(tatsuya requested it) another thing to note is that since he is not a disciple of the temple, yakumo can't teach him any magic. It was noted that modern magic and traditional magic has a lot of similarities
- There is some explanation of how ghostwalker worked. Then there was some training on how to counter it. After that , he went back to school. During lunch , all of tatsuya friends gathered. there was a news broadcast made by the terrorists. It basically says that they want to release people from magicians, if magicians are not exiled, more sacrifices will be made.
- Then the reporter criticized magicians that instead of protecting themselves, they should prioritise others more. Then the group make various points to rebut the news report. Right now, politicians blame the terrorists for the most part. But if the anti magicians opinion continues to rise, the anti magician politicians would be happy to follow.
- Izumi and kanon had a fight. Kanon was complaining that 10mc did not respond to the crisis properly and should have saved civilians. This resulted in people blaming magicians. Izumi defended by saying that 10mc are also civillians and are not different from other civilian.
- 101 does not participate in the search because they do not want to be seen as a ally to the 10mc because 101 announced to everyone that they will catch gu jie. Thus, anyone who is seen helping them will be seen as an ally
Chapter 8
- Miyuki practices with masaki. Quite amusing that masaki underestimated first high curriculum. They are supposed to change the colour of a white ball in order of red, green blue for ten times in 30 sec. The goal is to finish this in exactly 30 sec, with minimal time difference. Masaki was able to end it 0.7 sec before whereas honoka and miyuki was able to end it exactly 30 sec. This practice was to allow the student to learn how to end magic so that they do not over burden themself. Masaki is doing it for the first time so I think him not getting the hang of it is natural. It is noted that third high focus combat more while first high focus more on the small details. He was supposed to learn how to cast magic under a cover in third high.
- Honoka invited masaki to lunch. They just talked over the lunch table. Miyuki and tatsuya seem ok with him. Tatsuya even praised him for being an excellent magician. The reason why honoka was so that miyuki will be kept busy by masaki while she get closer to tatsuya. They talked about masaki involvement in the search, tease masaki a bit, then talk the class they had just now.
- About tatsuya talked to kazuma. Tatsuya does not like gu jie as his puppet magic goes against his ideal of stopping magicians to become tools of war. The enhance soldiers were from a training facility that is a joint research with the usna. It is also stated that when those enhanced soilders escape, the 10mc will kill them. This reminded me of the part of yuutosei where the fire guy escaped into the mall. he asked kazuma to take care of the aftermath which implied that he is going to use mist dispersion on ally millitary troops.
- Also gu jie is near the base and not in the base.
- Part of the invasion of gu jie hiding place. Ayako, fumiya and yoshimi were there with tatsuya. Ayako and fumiya guard the exit while tatsuya search for gu jie.there is a lot of action. Tatsuya is able to use Psion to control his body and his body is able to maintain the structural information of his body, even if the limit of his body is past, it will not cause burden, harm the body. Just when he almost get gu jie, multiple bullets were coming at him.
- 3 hours ago , usna reached the base (which had the training facility). He asked for permission to kill fugitives that ran away (The base commander knew about the parasite incident). Back to present, tatsuya is able to dodge and fend off the bullets. If it was jsdf, he would have just used mist dispersion. But he decided to hide his magic. He dismantled the guns, knocked him out, took off his bulletproof vest and regrowth the guns back. He use elemental sight trying to find gu jie and found out the attack on ayako and fumiya.
- Fumiya reacted to the enemy and disabled him by using direct pain. A smoke grenade was thrown, making the area hard to see. Direct pain require sight on the target for it to work. Usna used casting interference device (introduce noise to the cad), causing problems to fumiya casting magic to blow the smoke away . Fujitsu had to double the Psion output to cast the magic. The smoke cleared and the enemy increased to 5, with 2 people using the device. Fumiya ordered ayako to retreat. The enemy tried to stop her but was flying kicked by fumiya. He was cut by a knife in the same time. Ayako flashbanged a incoming enemy and fumiya disabled him wig magic. In order to protect fumiya from the rifle shooting, ayako has to continous cast barrier. The reason why ayako pseudo teleport out and fumiya unable to hit everyone with direct pain at the same time was due to the casting interference device. When fumiya was going to take down the gunners recklessly, tatsuya appeared and cad noise disappeared.
- The reason why tatsuya did not go directly to the roof (where ayako and fumiya were) was that he did not want to get hit during mid air and spread sleeping gas in the first and second floor to not let innocent doctors and nurse to be involved. Tatsuya decomposed the device, masking with a sound of gunshot. Bullet was shot at him but he caught with his hand.(same as Yokohama). This caused the soldier to stun. He decomposed a hole in the body of the 5 soldiers. He casted regrowth on fumiya. Tatsuya then shot the 5 guy in the hole to pretend it is a gunshot. Tatsuya wants the enemy to be left behind as it would be troublesome and they give no clues. They brought back the corpse of the 2 generator.
- Benjamin ordered to collect the corpse after yotsuba left. Usna is tracking gu jie through satellite using his pison signature (this was collected as a precaution for refugee in their country). Following orders, Benjamin wanted to hinder Japan investigation and think of a way to kill gu jie off borders out in the sea.
Chapter 9
- Tatsuya was very disappointed with the mission. the investigation of usna and the meeting of katsuto and others was not successful. Masaki felt anxious as he moved for the search. He feel that miyuki and tatsuya are unexpectedly not intimate. On his way to lunch he received chocolate from 7 girls. Shizuku and miyuki saw it and tease him which dealt a blow to him. Honoka invited him for lunch. Erika tease him about the chocolate which make him uneasy. Tatsuya accepted chocolate from honoka after he told her he has a marriage arrangement with miyuki. Shizuku, eimi, subaru and 2 first year student gave him giri chocolate. At home, He felt strange when he was greeted by miyuki. Miyuki did not give masaki giri chocolate. Tatsuya felt sad for honoka when he accepted honoka chocolate. Miyuki felt that he should have rejected it. Miyuki gave tatsuya a chocolate cake.
- Shizuku gives Tatsuya a bag to transport his chocolates and hide them from Miyuki. Tatsuya thought the bag shizuku gave was for him to put in the chocolate but the bag contain chocolate from shizuku. Amy was going to give some to Tomitsuka as well but he had already left. When Tatsuya gets home, Miyuki presents him with a chocolate cake. Miyuki questions the bag she has seen Tatsuya carrying. He tells her what it is. Then he says "don't worry, I did not receive any from Saegusa-senpai" remembering last year's bitter chocolates. Miyuki feels relieved. Then she says "Saegusa should know better than to do that as a university student now." Miyuki did not give Masaki chocolates this year because if she did it would have a different meaning. Then Tatsuya tells her about accepting Honoka's chocolates but reminding her of the engagement. Miyuki says that he should have turned her down.
- Erica also wanted to make bets as to the number of chocolates Masaki would receive by the end of the day. Miki tells her to drop the topic but she ignores him. She assured him it would be double digits. He's used to Erica's personality. He also didn't realize it was Valentine's and was confused why random girls are giving him presents and running away. Shizuku tells him it was Valentine's day. Erika keeps wanting to talk about Masaki's chocolate record which only contributes to making him feel worse. Tatsuya and Leo try to make him feel better.
Chapter 10
- There was a protest at the gate of magic university. Protest got violent with them swinging signboard. Protesters got pushed down, which escalated the situation. Tatsuya and friends were discussing about the protest as it get broadcast. Protesters threw stones and the police. It seemed that there is less people that the anti-war protest. 24 protesters were arrested. Toshikazu was seen at the scene by leo. There was no report of how many people were at the protest. Tatsuya estimated it to be around 500 people. A lawyer criticizing the police for infringement of free speech and assembly which got erika mad.
- The news footage was edited. There was protestor using blunt object to hurt the police. It was stopped by inagaki with magic. The protester went unconscious. No one reported about the assault as they do not want to not link the assault to the protest. Inagaki got a bruise in the process. he felt a headache when he hears about the police. Toshikazu noticed that inagaki has been touching his head often and is worried for him.
- There was a debate on the night news. Congressman Kanda (神田, anti-magician congressman) criticized the way the police handled the protest while congressman Ueno (上野, the congressman that koichi talk to, not sure if the name is correct or not) defended the police. Koichi was watching the debate with mayumi. Koichi finds Kanda to be unexpectedly calm and was not extreme. Mayumi thinks by doing that it would weaken his points. Koichi feels that Kanda is a clown and it is common for people to take clown seriously. He thinks that emotional speech only appeals to the mindless crowd but the self-proclaimed academics might find the speech childish and him stupid and so, using these reason makes it easier to handle. Mayumi finds Ueno is lacking in this regard. Koichi wants Ueno to extinguish, but not to ignite, and calm both parties. Mayumi showed a strong sense of dislike of his father's words and asked what is the next step. Koichi wants to wait and see and was surprised that the network was on their side. He thinks that this was because of Maki.
- Takuma called Maki after the show. He wanted to thank her for inviting congressman Ueno and using a pro-magician host. Maki answered that he does not need ot thank her, since it was not due to his request, but his father wanted to do something different from other stations and it could get favours from Ueno.
- Gu jie is unhappy and anxious. His objective is to make citizens antagonize the magicians and japan magicians, driven by society, will sacrifice the 10mc. Yotsuba being part of 10mc will be buried by society. However, he thinks that things will calm down before any major change is to happen. He had sworn to take revenge on the ones that humiliated him but it became impossible when yotsuba wiped them. Unable to find a target, he directed his revenge onto yotsuba. The terrorist attack was to deny japanese magicians of their contributions. He wanted to exact revenge before he pass away. The reason why he is able to be so elusive was due to zhou's connection. Not being able to use hlidskjalf was a blow to him but having loyal allies is more reliable. In order to leave the country, he needed to have to get a stronger pawn, someone stronger from japanese military than enhanced magicians. He remembered from one friend that a disciple of a magician family is imprinted. He thought of a plan to use the imprinted disciple to lure out the people from the magician family.
- There was another protest near the parliament but there was no riot. 2nd high students were attacked by anti-magician people. On his way home, Tatsuya, after hearing the incident, went back to school. The student council was planning to call 2nd high. Minoru, vice-president of 2nd high, picked up the call. Minoru told them what happen during the attack. 6, aged around 20 year old, guys surrounded a first year girl of 2nd high. They started to sprout humanist message. The girl tried to call the police but was stop by one of the guys. Other students heard the commotion and tried to help out. Thus, a fight broke out. One of the girl student used magic to neutralise the guys. The students suffered some major injuries while the guys suffered minor injuries (one of the guys had high blood pressure, the magic cause his heart to beat irregularly). Minoru still do not whether it was excessive self-defense and had to wait for their president to come back. After the call, they were discussing whether this will result in laws of using magic as self-defense, or even worse if magicians have the right of self-defense.
Afterword:
- The story has finally reached volume 18. No matter if it is tatsuya and miyuki, they are going to be third year, there is a feeling that the story is closer to the end. Therefore.....actually it is not like that, recently less descriptive plot, missing plot has become more cared for than before. .......no, maybe the cause is actually the finishing line getting closer. Previously decided 2 volumes of master clan conference turn into 3 volume, is also due to "this must be written in", "adding this is better"...... Always non -stop thinking of adding content which was the cause.
- For example, according to the original plot of volume 18, there was no raymond, but even if there is a small difference in the position between him and the other six, even if it is just a hint of the setting, maybe it is better to mention it a bit. When writing halfway through, there was a same thought again. Kyokou and toshikazu part has increased along the way. Just like that plot is continuously added and so, the total volume has increased at the end. Talking about missing plot that I have cared for more, for example, during steeplechase, the coincidental meeting of Erika and Leo, i have been constantly worrying about it. Although there is no plan for writing side story first before writing the main story,
- I plan to write next about Leo and Erika side story after finishing master clan conference arc. Even said so, it is not a decision that I can make on my own, the only thing decided is that vol 19 is the last of the master clan conference arc. I will quickly write the next book (master clan conference part 3), so please look forward to it..
From TA
Spoiler for Vol.18 Spoilers Correction:
I am going through the Mahouka wikia's vol.18 discussion's spoiler page.
- Gu Jie is not aided by the military. He is just using enhanced soldiers from Jama Base; this facility is operated by both Japanese military and USNA military. This is one of dark secrets that Japanese military wants to hide because this place is the evidence that can prove, the Japanese military supplied Japaneses to USNA for human experimentations.
- Honoka is not Masaki x Miyuki shipper. Honoka strategically used Masaki to distract Miyuki while Honoka was approaching Tatsuya. The narrator also added his comments on the similarity between war and dating in order to justify Honoka's action.
- Tatsuya was relieved that Honoka was with Shizuku, but he did not want to spend time with Honoka not because he has a bad feeling towards her. It was mainly because of his mission to catch Gu Jie. Tatsuya is having trouble tracking Gu Jie ever since USNA interfered with him at Jama base.
- Ono Haruka is not shown in the vol.18. But, she is mentioned in the volume when the narrator explains about Toshikazu's ability to conceal just like Haruka. The narrator mentions, Toshikazu's ability is not as good as Haruka, but his ability is still the first class.
Spoiler for Vol.18 New Character and additional information on existing Characters:
Maeda Chizuru is 3rd High School Principal.
She also went to the 3rd High School with Ichijou Gouki. She was one year senior.
She is very informal for a school principal, but she is hiding her true character while working as a principal. When she attended the 3rd High School, she was excelled in skill test without any equals. Even Gouki got his nose broken by her. ("Breaking nose" is proverb for breaking one's pride. It means, Chizuru may have defeated Gouki with test scores.)
Chizuru used to work for Japanese Navy Force but she left the Navy due to the trouble with senior officer regarding the group sexual harassment. Her military rank was Lieutenant Junior Grade when she left the Navy.
Shinonome Yoshimi is 21 Years old and a cousin of Kuroba twins. Her father is older brother of Kuroba twins' deceased mother. She never attended Magic high school, and she attended a communication(cyber) high school (通信高等學校; it is a high school program for ones who cannot attend the school physically.) because she has been working on search-type missions.
Yoshimi always wears the same look: a casquette, a large sunglasses, and a muffler scarf that covers up to the bottom of her nose.
Ever since Tatsuya's engagement to Miyuki, Ayako has been trying to accept the reality. Ayako is no longer holding herself back towards Tatsuya, so she is more open to Tatsuya, and the distance between Tatsuya and Ayako seems shortened. (The author used the word, 辭讓 (it means restrain, reserve, and holding back))
Erika dislikes Toshikazu because when Erika was young and was training with Toshikaze, Toshikaze beat her up until she cannot stand. (whenever they trained together). So, even Toshikaze jokes, it gets on Erika's nerve. In addition, his words also pierce through the deep inside of Erika's mind, so it makes her mad even more.
Fujibayashi Kyouko makes a scene in this volume. She disappointed that Toshikazu did not know her promotion. She assumes, if he is interested in her, he should be able to register her name into search engine. At the end, she felt lonely after misunderstanding the entire situation. (Toshikazu was simply too busy with dealing aftermath of Yokohama incident and Vampire (parasite) incident).
Sawamura Maki is actually only one year older than Shippo Takuma. ( I am currently double-checking this with the translator.)
When Takuma visited Maki, she was planning to treat him well and sent him home. But, after she realizes how much Takuma has changed and was impressed with Takuma, she tried to cross the line regardless of Tatsuya's warning. But, Takuma stopped her by asking for a help. Takuma said, he will do anything for this favor. According to the narrator, Takuma will regret for this favor but will keep his words. He will make a debut on screen as an actor who plays an opposite role of Maki while attending Magic University.
(If Mahouka ends with the high school, at least we know Tatsuya will not blow the world to kingdom come.
- When Katsuto was released from police questioning, the narrator provided interesting details regarding the Mahouka world. According to the narrator, the legal age for being adult was lowered to 18 years old, but it was increased to 20 years old in 2070s because many young people were enlisted to the army during the 20 years war, and they increased the legal age in the form of repent. Increasing legal age has been a global trend. In an extreme case, legal age for being adult dropped down to 16 years old and increased to 25 years.
- Members and related people from other families could be seen, but the butler, Hanabishi (#3)'s men were trying to hide in order to avoid getting attention.
- Miyuki asked about Saegusa Tomozuka (Tomokazu) because when Saegusa twins called their half-brother, Kasumi called him as "Aniki", and Izumi "Oniisan". And, they expresses some awkwardness while saying those words.
- At the end of discussion about Miyuki's fear on police being influenced by Humanist faction, everyone decided to depart except Takuma. Before Tatsuya left the place, Takuma was about to share an opinion on the subject that Tatsuya and Miyuki were discussing, but Takuma restrained himself from sharing his opinion.
- At the end of the chapter, Gu Jie was watching the tragic terror attack. He was at the mansion located in Odawara. It is located 9 km East from 10MC meeting place.
- The first color page with Masaki and shocked Miyuki, Honoka, and Shizuku. Masaki: "I am Ichijou Masaki from 3rd High School. I will be studying together with you due to strong friendship (情, sentiment, heart, affection can be used.). It is short one month, but I am looking forward to it. (Direct translation of the last sentence is "Please look after me".)
- The second color page with Honoka, Eimi, Subaru, and Shizuku
- Shizuku: "This is for the friendship(義理). You don't have to give back envelope."
- Subaru: "Ah, I also have it. I am sure you know it, but this is for the friendship (義理).
- Eimi: "Me, too. Here, friendship(義理) Chocolate."
- Honoka: "Please accept this."
- (義理: in many cases, it is being used as "loyalty" or "fidelity". But, Friendship may be suitable for this case.)
- Tatsuya visited Kazama and asked for a permission because he was planning to use mist dispersion on soldiers who may get in his way when Tatsuya goes after Gu Jie nearby Jama base. These soldiers from Jama base are enhanced soldiers, and for some reasons, enhanced soldiers hate 10MC. Tatsuya worries about the possibility of a situation where enhanced soldiers get incited to go after Tatsuya and Yotsuba pursuers. Tatsuya is planning to erase everything with mist dispersion if a skirmish happens between Tatsuya's group (Kuroba twins) and enhanced soldiers.
- From my perspective, Tatsuya only went to Kazama because enhanced soldiers are still members of Japanese military, and getting a permission to use mist dispersion is the same as getting a permission to kill enhanced soldiers.
AS BalorView
- Tatsuya came back to the house, only to sees Miyuki in a bad mood. Just before he asked her what happened. Maya, called on the phone, she confirmed that Gu Jie has been aided by the military (?). Tatsuya told Miyuki that Mayumi will join the hunting team, he noticed Miyuki is extremely jealous after she learned that
- Honoka is confirmed a Masaki x Miyuki shipper (lol), she invited Masaki to have lunch with her and Miyuki which led to Tatsuya's facepalm.
- On Valentine day, Honoka called Tatsuya to give him her valentine chocolate gift. He heard Honoka's voice from behind, Tatsuta feels relieved when he saw her with the Shizuku because " he doesn't want to spend time alone with her this day" (R.i.p Honoka ship)
- Honoka wants Tatsuya to accept her gift, he is not refused. He thanked but he reminded her that she doesn't need to do it because he is already engaged to Miyuki .
- Honoka told him she doesn't mind, so Tatsuya was reluctant to accept her gift.
- Toshikazu approached Erika and Haruka and with their help confirming Inagaki is missing, he searched and found Inagaki lying on the floor at puppeteer's home and then he were knocked unconscious. (Hata AS correction)
Rajamaya, wiki
- 「掛けてくれ」
- 「(please)take a sit」
- そんなことを考えているとはおくびにも出さず、達也は克人の声に従い何食わぬ顔で彼の前 に座った。
- Tatsuya sat down in front of him with a nonchalant look after hearing Katsuto's voice (offer), and didn't let out a that he was thinking about such thing to anyone.
- 真由美は克人の斜め前、つまり達也の隣の席を選んだ。特に意味は無い、はずだ。達也と真 由美は並んでこのテーブルまで来たのだから、その位置関係のままに腰を落ち着けただけだろう、と達也は考え ることにした。
- Mayumi chose the seat that was next to Tatsuya and, diagonally in front of Katsuto. It should be noted that there was not particular meaning to it. Because Tatsuya and Mayumi came to this table side by side, it was probably only after they settled down in the position relations (without changing it) that Tatsuya decided to think about that.
- 摩利に呼び出され、聞かされた話は、まだ達也の記憶に新しい。その所為かどうか、真由美 のことを全く意識していないと言えば嘘になる。だが真由美をそういう対象として見ることができる力というと それも否だった。
- He was called by Mari, and the story that he was told was still fresh in Tatsuya's mind. Whether or not that was the case, it will be a lie if he said that he wasn’t indeed conscious of Mayumi. However, It was not even the case that he had the capacity to be able to view Mayumi like that (as a partner).
- 達也は深雪の気持ちを受け止めて、彼女の婚約者となった。だが、深雪の想いを受け容れた わけではなかった。
- Tatsuya accepted Miyuki's feelings and became her fiancée. But, it was not that he accepted Miyuki's love (/affection).
- 彼にとって、深雪はまだ妹だ。
- As far as he was concerned, Miyuki was still his younger sister.
- 今はまだ、恋愛感情を持てない。
- He still does not yet have romantic feelings (for her).
- 深雪の想いにどう応えるかは決めていても、自分の心がそこに至っていない。
- Even if he had decided about how to respond to Miyuki's love, his heart hasn't reached that place (yet).
- 恋愛方面に関する達也のキャパシティは深雪だけで一杯一杯だ。真由美のことまで気に掛け ていたら仕事に支障を来す。だから彼は、真由美をそういう相手として考えないようにしてい たのだった。
- Tatsuya's capacity in relation to the area of (love/affections/emotion) was only limited to Miyuki. (He thought that) If he still continued to be concerned about Mayumi, it will become an hindrance to the work (at hand).
- Therefore, he had decided that he was going to make sure that he did not think about Mayumi as such partner.
A Wikia contributor 50.149.8.198
- The base of operations is in Tokyo because Saegusa and Juumonji are taking the lead/coordinating the search. Tokyo area is under their jurisdiction. That is why he has to go to 1st high because his father says he is sending his son on behalf of his clan and Maya says she sends Tatsuya on behalf of Yotsuba. After the attack, all the branch heads take a helicopter ride to the Kanto Magic Association HQ to discuss strategy. After Maya and Gouki say they will send Tatsuya and Masaki, Futatsugi head, older lady, says that they should think about the boys' school despite the crisis, maybe being absent so long is frowned upon. Maya says that Tatsuya has achieved so much in school it is no problem. Gouki says she has a point but their duty to investigate takes precedence.
- After the meeting, Gouki and Masaki return to Kanazawa. Gouki tells him he's telling his school he will be excused for the rest of the school year. Principal of 3rd high convinces Gouki that he should let his son transfer instead to 1st high since it is in the area and let him finish the year. There's only one month left of the school year.

- Finished reading the book and wasnt sure what to think about it I mean the last volume ended with a bang quite literally and thought it will continue to this volume but majority of it is spent on the school part, well there is Tatsuya hunting with Yoshimi(?).
- Ayako and Fumiyas cousin is a welcome scene for me but not really the main focus. I read in previous post about Miyuki having doubts about her engagement with Tatsuya but I havent read that in the book, the thing that is bothering Miyuki is how to act properly with Tatsuya now that they are engaged, miyuki is thinking before even if she acts all jealous or anything Tatsuya wouldnt leave her and she has the greatest shield she is his sister but now that they are engaged she was afraid that if she still acts or show her jealousy.
- Tatsuya might not like it and cancel their engagement which scares the living daylights out of her that is why she doesnt show or suppressed her jealousy a good example would be during a video conversation between Tatsuya,Miyuki and Maya, Maya asks about how is the meeting that Tatsuya is taking part on , and reminded Tatsuya that it is fine to get along with them(Katsuto,Mayumi,Masaki)but not too well because the only reason that Mayumi is included in the meeting is proposed by Koichi and not Katsuto so that Mayumi and Tatsuya could meet and according to Maya so that the two of them could date. Before if Miyuki heard anything like that she will immediately burst but now she not acting up, although Tatsuya could see that she is just bearing with it, Tatsuya thought that it is a sign that Miyuki is growing up.
Volume 19 Preview~Confirmed
Together with Katsuto, Mayumi, Masaki and Tatsuya they were going to search for Gu Jie whereabouts. However, an unexpected opponent hinders Tatsuya who was caught in the trail.
This enrages Tatsuya because of the unexpected appearance. Saegusa Mayumi and Juumonji Katsuto went to search, while Ichijou Masaki is fighting. Major Benjamin Canopus, No.2 of Stars, takes part in the war.
Various people waver, the worst case that shouldn't happen will happen because of Gu Jie who has "magic that manipulates dead bodies".

- Only Tatsuya and Erika are aware that Masaki loves Miyuki because they are perceptive about things like that. Miyuki can probably guess that he's into her at least. There's a conversation between Erika, Leo and Miki about Masaki and she points out that he's really into Miyuki. Miki and Leo seem a little shocked or surprised by him transferring. It's like the three of them are watching a drama and having popcorn about everything. Masaki interacts with them later.
- Vol 19 will be released on spring, earliest will be february. May 20 we will get short story?
