"“The arrest of Zhou Gongjin has been mobilized in secret by certain magician group”
“Apart from the the military police, is it?”
“Yes. It is not a formal operation”
Masaki perfectly understood that he was suggesting of an illegal operation.
“Soon they will be entering the gates of the base”
“From the gate?.... I see so they are using outer systematic magic?”
Tatsuya nodded in Masaki’s question.
Masaki guessed the identity of the ‘magicians who were mobilized in secret’.
Magician specialized in outer systematic magic, magician that might go against the JSDF. Masaki only had 1 idea of where that though was heading to.
“Shiba, you are…”
“I’m different from them”
Before the question formed, Tatsuya denied him flatly."
That's virtually flat out lying to Masaki in volume 15. He was operating as a Yotsuba guardian, on a Yotsuba family assignment, with Yotsuba family blood flowing through his veins yet he flat out denied involvement with them........
In volume 13:
"Besides, Tatsuya was also a person of the Yotsuba. Even though his relatives did not acknowledge him as a member of the Yotsuba,
looking objectively, Tatsuya was unmistakably a warrior of the Yotsuba. Kazama was essentially part of the brass of the 101st brigade which had the potential to be an antagonistic influence against the Ten Master Clans, so it would be natural for him to conceal things from someone who, as a subordinate of the Yotsuba, was under the command of the Ten Master Clans. "
Tatsuya clearly acknowledges here that objectively he is part of the Yotsuba family. Yet in volume 3 he denied being a member because subjectively he didn't feel like one/ isn't treated like an actual family member. But objectively speaking he is part of the Yotsuba family, undeniably.
