Miyuki is expected to continue this treatment of non-Yotsuba members of the family, but she always questioned why she and her older brother are forbidden from having a loving, normal sibling relationship. Tatsuya is treated much like an object by members of the Yotsuba Clan, including his mother. For one to be considered a Yotsuba, they must be a fully-fledged magician, which Tatsuya is not, hence his relegation to servant status within the family. This makes them magical aristocrats, and with that territory comes a host of complications. The Yotsuba Clan to which Miyuki belongs is one of the Ten Master Clans in the Mahouka universe. His mother even refers to him as a “good-for-nothing”, despite saving her and various members of the family several times. At this point in time, Tatsuya is considered to be an individual without any magical power or potential, which is also the cause of further mistreatment at the hands of his family. During her walk, Miyuki is accosted by some navy guys of Japanese-American descent (which is important, trust us) and Tatsuya takes out the threat without even flinching. On the day of their arrival, Miyuki decides to go on a solo stroll, but her mother orders Tatsuya to accompany her. One funny depiction of this is the fact that Miyuki and her mother travel privately in a fancy pod while Tatsuya has to fly economy class. It’s confusing aristocratic stuff, but because of this hierarchy between the families. Given the relations in the Yotsuba family, Tatsuya being of lower standing as a Shiba is subservient to Miyuki’s family, despite the fact that he’s her older brother. At this point, the two are no more than siblings in theory. There is an obvious distance between Tatsuya and Miyuki. Behind them, a young Shiba Tatsuya quietly pushes a trolley bearing their luggage. Miyuki takes a long look at the young woman’s face before thinking that she looks a lot like someone else, then she contemplates the four years since a certain day.Ī young Miyuki being accompanied by a tall, older woman who looks a lot like her. Their helper, Minami, is clearing the dishes from breakfast. It all begins with the present Miyuki and Tatsuya preparing to pack to go on holiday.
