true but tatsuya is already under JSDF protection, according to fujibayashi.
Al through protection from the yotsuba clan will be far better that will also mean making him a clan member since now he is a guardian meaning he has to protect the clan not the other way around u can say what you want they are still a f**ked up clan!!!

Based on name decoding, Mayumi is suspecting/speculating Shibata = Yotsuba i.e. her view point already resulted to Mayumi's being against Kōichi (father)'s Saegusa family future direction.

Let's hope Saegusa clan doesn't kick her out from the family.

My best guess Shibata Mizuki is Sayuri's daughter.

When did she suspect Shibata = Yotsuba? She only suspected Shiba = Extra of Yotsuba in President Election Chapter. No mention of Shibata ever.

My comment was based from Mayumi's point of view.

My intention should be "Shiba" instead of "Shibata" i.e. my context was for Tatsuya. Sorry for the typo.

[SinsI]

BTW, don't you write Shiva(Hindu god of destruction) and Shiba the same in Japanese? Maybe we should translate Tatsuya's family name differently...

Spoiler for pic:

We already know Maya and Kudou but let's try to guess from which clan the others belong.

The glasses guy is obviously Koichi and I think the man with folded arms is Katsuto's dad. Att least it confirms that Tsutomu already planned many things. There is another woman heir besides Maya, does it mean her husband will take her name? And why do you think they only shown 9 and but not 10 characters?

9? I only count 8. Three on each side & 1 in front of Maya & Maya herself. Where's the 9th person?

[Echizen777]

Maybe you considered the dude with a armor was wearing a helmet? I see another's head above him.

As I recall, the camera panned along that image (or whatever the correct terminology is) and the picture posted here is just the second part of the whole image, with the people who were standing in front missing from it.

Ah, yes. I remember the pan now. I didn't remember it earlier. I think you're right.

I just got my hand on an official translated Vol.3

The preamble of this Volume gives info about the Ten Master Clans, the Numbers, and the De-numbered (the Extra Numbers).

The only significantly new info was about the Ten Master Clans, though.

Spoiler for Info of Ten Master Clans:

The Most influential group of magicians in Japan.
They deny the power they will gain from being in public but choose to secretly manipulate the government from the untouchable realm. Every four years, 28 families which are

Spoiler for Name of all 28 Ten Master Clans:

1. Ichijou, Ichinokura, Ichiki(?)
2. Futasugi, Nikaidou, Nihei
3. Mitsuya, Mikasuki
4. Yotsuba
5. Itsuwa, Goutou, Itsumi
6. Mutsuzuka, Rokkaku, Roukugou, Roppongi
7. Saegusa, Shipou, Tanabata, Nanase
8. Yatsushiro, Hatsaku(?), Hajiman
9. Kudou, Kugi, Kuzumi
10. Jumonji, Touyama

will open a "Ten Master Clans Selection Conference" to determine which ten families will take the name Ten Master Clans. The remaining 18 families that haven't been chosen will be called "18 auxiliary families" and will become the main families' supports. Currently, the Ten Master Clans consisted of "Ichijou", "Futatsugi", "Mitsuya", "Yotsuba", "Itsuwa", "Mutsudzuka", "Saegusa", "Yatsushiro", "Kudou", and "Juumonji", which just happened to number from one to ten chronologically. However, this was the first time this had occurred since the Ten Master Clans had been formed, and there have been situations where one or two numbers were either duplicated or missing altogether.(The italic part is from Vol3 BT translation. It said the same thing.)

P.S. noted that the names might not be correct. I just romaji-ed them with my limited knowledge of Japanese.

It kind of makes sense though. The 4th lab is considered the worst and the Yotsuba own it as their main house is built right on it.

[SinsI]

Not really a wonder, considering that 4 in Japan is read the same as death and is thus akin to 13 in English.

Strange that only 4 got the lucky 7.

[I'm-here-present]

Yotsuba family is just a few steps away from overshadowing all the other clans... They are really fitting of their name that is related to the word death...

this might be little nitpicking, but is it "Vol.3" or "Vol.13"?

If Miyuki finally becomes the heir as head of the Yotsuba her name will be changed to Yotsuba Miyuki right?But Tatsuya will stay as a Shiba?If that happens can they both get married as they have a way to bypass laws that prevent them from marrying since they currently have the same surnames.just wishful thinking

Yes. Probably. I'm pretty sure laws prohibit incestuous marriage on the basis of blood ties and not different surnames.

^ if miyuki know that law she will take advantage of it and make tatsuya hers literally making a yotsuba in the process

[I'm-here-present]

if miyuki becomes the yotsuba head... she can whatever she pleases
