"As expected of the Prince, your ideas are always extraordinary!" praised a curly-haired adult man named Ushiyama.
"That is only natural, Ushiyama-san," replied a handsome young man with a calm tone and expression—Tatsuya Yotsuba.
You did not read it wrong. That young man's name was Tatsuya Yotsuba, not Tatsuya Shiba.
Let us go back fifteen years earlier. At that time, Tatsuya Yotsuba did not yet exist in this world, as he was still inside his mother's womb—Maya Yotsuba.
You did not read that wrong either. Tatsuya's biological mother was Maya, not Miya.
When he first became conscious, Tatsuya was confused by the fact that he was in an extremely cramped space.
At first, he was terrified, but somehow he gradually became accustomed to living there.
As time passed, Tatsuya finally realized that he had returned to being a baby and was now inside his mother's womb.
How could a baby think so complexly? The answer was simple—Tatsuya was no ordinary baby.
Tatsuya was a reincarnator from Earth who just happened to share the same name as Tatsuya Shiba from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.
In his previous life, Tatsuya had been a devoted fan of Tatsuya Shiba, though he deeply regretted the absence of emotions in Tatsuya Shiba's heart.
Tatsuya clearly felt the moment he was about to be born. As soon as he emerged from his mother's womb, he began crying like a normal baby.
Even though Tatsuya's soul was already more than fifteen years old, he still could not stop himself from crying at birth.
The most shocking thing happened when Tatsuya felt hungry and cried to ask his mother for milk.
Tatsuya saw the face of an adult woman gazing at him with the deep affection of a mother.
Her beauty was like a gentle full moon—mysterious, soft, and difficult to reach.
But that was not the main issue. Tatsuya realized that his mother's identity was none other than Maya Yotsuba.
Tatsuya's mind stopped working for a moment. He was not even aware when he began drinking milk directly from Maya Yotsuba's breast.
"Your name is Tatsuya, Tatsuya Yotsuba," Maya said with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
Tatsuya was mesmerized by his mother's beauty. He felt as if he were looking at the most beautiful angel in the world.
"Grow up quickly. Mother can't wait to see you become an adult."
Maya kissed Tatsuya's forehead while nursing him.
Tatsuya's mind went completely blank. He gave up thinking on the very first day of his life.
Time passed, and ten months after Tatsuya Yotsuba's birth, Miyuki Yotsuba was born from Miya's womb.
Even as a baby, Miyuki Yotsuba was incredibly cute and adorable—no wonder she would grow into the most beautiful and elegant woman in the original story.
Tatsuya, who had already begun to adjust to life as a baby, repeatedly went to visit Miyuki.
Because of his actions, Maya often looked annoyed, as if she were jealous of Miyuki.
Tatsuya initially thought this was just his imagination, but little by little, he realized there was something inexplicable behind Maya's jealousy.
One year later, another cute baby was born and given the name Ayako Kuroba.
By then, Tatsuya could already walk on his own and often visited little Ayako as well.
Little Ayako looked happy whenever Tatsuya came to see her, her reaction exactly the same as little Miyuki's.
Just like when Tatsuya visited Miyuki, Maya also appeared jealous whenever he visited Ayako.
Finding the situation too complicated, Tatsuya decided not to dwell on it and resolved to find out the truth once he grew older.
Time passed, and at the age of ten, Tatsuya was proclaimed the Prince of the Yotsuba Family.
People treated him with respect, like a true prince of a kingdom.
Miyuki was also given the title of Princess of the Yotsuba Family. Although she did not compare to Tatsuya, she was still treated extremely well.
On the other hand, Ayako had no particularly outstanding traits aside from her cuteness, which was still slightly inferior to Miyuki's.
Because of that, Ayako was treated the same as the other candidates to inherit the Yotsuba Family—naturally alongside her younger brother, Fumiya Kuroba.
Tatsuya's birthday was celebrated in grand fashion. The Yotsuba Family did not hesitate to invite all ten master clans to commemorate Tatsuya's birthday.
On that day, Tatsuya's name spread far and wide as the Prince of the Yotsuba Family.
Not only among the members of the ten master clans, but throughout all of Japan as the future of magic.
Upon reaching the age of ten, Tatsuya began conducting research and repeatedly created miracles in both magic and CAD development.
Now, his name was no longer known only in Japan—it had become famous across the entire world.
