The Eminence in Smartphone

II Menace from another world

Touya and his wives walked toward the conference room, where he had asked Cid and company to wait for them. In the meantime, he told his wives about his old classmate. Yumina, Elsie, Hilde, Yae, Sue, Lindsay, Sakura, Lu, and Leen were in shock after hearing how this mysterious visitor was actually their beloved husband's former classmate.

"This is unbelievable!" said Leen. "Are you telling me that not only this 'Kagenou Minoru' is a classmate from your old world, but that his magic is stronger than yours?"

Touya frowned. "I'm not sure if he is stronger. Is it just that this is the first time someone is able to undo my spells without an artifact helping them."

Sue, the youngest of the wives, hugged Touya. "It's okay, Touya. I bet that you can teach this Kagenou-guy a lesson. Right?"

Touya just smiled at Sue but didn't say anything.

"Touya?" kept insisting Sue.

"Sue, we still don't know if they are friends or foes." explained Yuimna.

"And does he have all of the magic attributes like you and Doctor Babylon?" asked Lindsay.

"I don't know. He came from a different world. I mean, we are both from Japan, but apparently, he reincarnated in another world too, so their magic system is different from the one we have."

Leen's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Touya, do you mind if I speak with him about their magic system? I cannot wait for him to give me the details!"

Touya forced a smile, something that his wives noticed right away.

"Is something wrong, Touya?" asked Lu.

"You're not fond of him, don't you, Touya-san?" asked Yumina. It wasn't a question, but a statement.

Touya sighed tiredly.

"Nothing escapes your mystic eyes, right, Yumina? You are right. Kagenou is... troublesome."

"So, he is an enemy then?" asked Elsie.

"I don't know... I think he fights for justice, or at least I want to believe that. Back at school, he was involved in several incidents that involved local gangs."

"So he was a gang member?" asked Hilde, placing her hand on her trusty sword.

Touya shook his head.

"No... he actually... I don't know. No one could prove anything back then. However, there were some rumors about a crazy person wearing a balaclava with a couple of crowbars and beating the local gangs. Every time a story about this mysterious berserker's latest achievements came, Kagenou showed up the next day covered in bruises. He explained the bruises, explaining that he fell from the stairs or another ridiculous story. But even if no one could prove anything, he never fooled anyone. And one day I saw him."

"Seriously?" asked Elsie.

"The leader of one of the local gangs was messing with my best friend and his girlfriend, so I took matters into my own hands."

"Running into trouble as usual!" Leen said with a smirk.

Touya blushed a bit, but continued with his story. "By the time I arrived at their headquarters, it was already too late. They lay unconscious in a puddle of motor oil and their own blood. And sanding before the pile of bodies, was Kagenou, holding his two crowbars. He noticed my presence and managed to reveal his face to me while posing, right before vanishing into the shadows."

The girls didn't know what to say, when they came across the maids, Crea and Renne, carrying a bottle of wine and a tray with crystal glasses, respectively.
