New law of Beast Taming

"Gentlemen, this is the room you will be staying in for the next few days. I hope you have a pleasant day ahead."

The mayor was burning up from the inside. But on the outside, he kept a happy smile. He did not want to show the government officials his bad side.

The government officials did not look impressed with what they were seeing. The room was decorated according to the latest trends. But it was still somewhat bare when compared to what other places offered them during their stay.

"Dinner will be ready soon. I will call for someone to come and deliver your food to your rooms. There is no need for you gentlemen to leave your rooms. Also, if you need anything then let me know. I will arrange for whatever you need by any means."

The mayor likely wanted to flatter his guests. But the more he spoke, the more suspicious the officials became of his motives.

First of all, asking them not to leave their room was a big 'danger' sign in thier books. It made the government officials want to look around the premise even more.

So as soon as the mayor left them alone, they both decided to head out and investigate this settlement. They were sure that they would find something of use here.

That had been the plan before the door to their resting place was knocked open.

"Gentlemen, I need you to see something important. What you do with this information afterwards does not matter to me."

Yoko Tsurugi stood at the door of their door. Yoko Tsurugi had a stack of papers in her hand and she determined look on her face.

The government officials decided to throw her a bone. They had heard a lot about Yoko Tsurugi and how close she was with Charlie Suzuki, the divine leader. So they tried not to trigger her in any way.

"Sure, we will have a look at what is in your hand. Give me that report."

The first officer asked for the report and Yoko handed it over to him for inspection.

The official did not think much of what he was reading at first. To him, it did not matter much. But that all changed as he read the report more and more.

This report held evidence of the mayor's corruption and his willingness to do anything to get his way. The report was detailed and the paperwork had never been filed for such a report.

A lot of money seemed to have been swallowed by the mayor during the major construction of this city.

And that was something the government could not look over.

"Lady Tsurugi, is this piece of information valid? How much can we trust your words?"

The government official clutched the piece of paper in his hand tighter. He wanted to go and arrest the mayor on the spot. But he needed to respect the rules and regulations that were set in place.

Despite having the piece of paper as a piece of evidence, the mayor was still innocent until a trial was held and the mayor was stripped of everything he owned. That was how the official law worked.

The government official would have no problem disregarding this ruling if Stella was not here. Stella was too rule-bound to allow such things to occur under her nose.

"Well, I would say that this evidence is enough to prove my words. But I can see that you are still worried about my words. Don't worry. You will get your chance to arrest the mayor legally soon."

The government official suddenly looked cautious of Yoko as well. The amount of confidence in her tone told the official that she had planned something.

And if her plan gave them the chance to arrest the mayor, then it was likely a dangerous plan.

But still, it was the pair's duty to ensure that law and order were maintained where they were inspecting. So, as long as Yoko Tsurugi hurt no one, she was not under suspicion as well.

They had no legal ground to interfere in her plan.

"By the way, my cousin Sakura will keep in touch with you and update you on our plan and what we are going to do next. So I hope that you will not neglect her messages and maintain a good relationship with her."

From the main entry entered the familiar face they had seen before. The government officially recognized Sakura Tsurugi instantly.

"Hello, Gentlemen. I think we have a lot to discuss."

Sakura no longer sounded like that gentle but scared kid these people had met before. And both government officials decided to give Sakura a chance.

.....

'Shit, this is bad. The government officials are already here and I have not managed to cause any problems for Yoko Tsurugi. At this rate, my plan to throw her out would be unsuccessful.'

The mayor stormed his office and quickly threw his body on his chair. He needed time to think about his next move.

With his first three plans failing, the confidence the mayor had before had been shattered. But his will to win burned as bright as ever.

All his plans had ended up in failure and the mayor suddenly realized something.

The reason nothing he did worked was because he expected someone else to do things for him. Of course that was not going to work out for him.

What the mayor needed to do was simple - he needed to step ahead and agitate the beast himself. It was clear that the other people were not doing it right.

'Well, if I want to gain something, then I need to take the risk associated with it as well, right? Yoko Tsurugi is a crafty one and she must have done something to ensure the beast will not get triggered. But that all ends now.'

The mayor was a coward when it came to his safety. But for the first time, he decided to put himself at risk.

He had requested a few more things from The Hive yesterday. And his delivery had finally arrived today.

It was more of that agitating potion as well as some protective devices. Even if the beast started to rampage, the mayor would stay safe.

And then, he would use the poison he had been sent to kill the Gwazi. It would all be too easy from there on.

All the mayor had to do was to accuse Yoko Tsurugi of not taking care of the breast and she would be done for.

Yes, that was what the mayor would do.

The mayor quickly opened his office door to carry out his plan. But as soon as he stepped out, he found himself under the strict eyes of Stella.

"Mayor, what are you planning? I am afraid that I will need to stop you if it's something dangerous."

Stella was like a wall in front of the mayor. He could only nervously watch her and try to figure out what she wanted from him.

"S-Stella, you see, there is something I wanted to. I-It is nothing dangerous. I promise. I just wanted to see the beast one more time before Yoko kills it off. Y-You can come with me if you want to."

The mayor did not want to have Stella come with him just in case he was discovered to be using tricks. But maybe having Stella as a piece of evidence would not be bad.

The mayor watched Stella nervously, waiting for her to reply to his offer. But Stella was not that easy to fool.

She knew that the mayor was planning to use her for his gain. The glint in his eyes was quite loud.

Plus, Stella could smell that artificial smell the mayor gave off. Her nose was not as sharp as a beast or Amane's but Stella had still been raised by a beast trainer.

As such, she could tell that the mayor's scent would agitate a beast.

'The mayor is a shrewd one for sure. I would rather not get involved with him if it's possible.'

But that would mean letting Yoko Tsurugi down and Stella found herself not being able to follow through that.

Her instincts were telling her to save Yoko Tsurugi and do whatever she could to keep Yoko safe.

Stella found her instincts annoying. But she was ultimately a slave to her instincts.

'Maybe Yoko Tsurugi will reward you if you help her out. Don't you want to feel that soft and enchanting skin under your hands? Imagine your hands running all over…'

That was enough. Stella did not want to think anymore about this topic. Her lust for Yoko was getting out of hand.

It was even spilling over into her feelings for Amane. If this continued, then Stella would not be able to separate her feelings anymore.

'Let's help Yoko Tsurugi out and say goodbye to her. That will help me feel better once she is gone.'
