Any theories on who the unexpected guy is?

Maybe Zhou? Canopus?

Got a feeling it's kastuhige or morisaki

Neither Katsuhige or Morisaki are going to get in a fight with the son of the Demon Lord of the East. Katsuhige is well aware he stands no chance against Tatsuya in a real fight and Morisaki isn't going to incur the wrath of the Yotsuba against his Family.

what a refreshing volume... :uhoh:
It's gonna be a lot of swimsuits involve here.

It's to develop the HAREM, my friend. The HAREM. :heh:

Well jokes aside, I'm curious to know how it will explode. And my bet on who the guy is is on either Canopus or Takuma. I remember Kyouko-tan mentioning in that Batsuya incident about recruiting him into their unit.
I don't put much hope on it being either of them though, but they were the only ones that came to mind now. Kaka

The unexpected man is not fighting him. It's his ally for this mission.

The summary didn't make that clear sorry.

Eager for more content, its been to long tbh.

Then it's Hattori then. I'm pretty sure he has joined the army or idk some kind of candidate after grad. If the meeting is linked to the Battalion then it must be him.

He is the very first opponent of tats in the story after all.
Wiped off his ass royally even.

Doubt so. Since he is there for holiday

What's the release date? The 10th?

Miyuki and Tatsuya will go to Okinawa, isnt that where vol 8 happened? So the Yotsuba has a villa there where Miya, miyuki and tatsuya went. It could be Tatsuya will meet someone from 4years ago.

Hoping honoka will make a move on tatsuya so i can finally see miyuki's yandere mode.

Miyuki's yandere mode would be fun. Personally I am still waiting for everyone to witness Tatsuya's true rage mode. Imagine all those reactions from their school friends to Angelina, Masaki when they see Tatsuya going Mahesvara.

Could the mystery magician be that soldier they met 8 years ago?
