New law of Beast Taming

The mayor was a greedy person. He liked to go after what he wanted without looking at the consequences he would suffer.

And right now, he had his eyes on Sakura. This girl was not only pretty to look at. But she was also Yoko Tsurugi's cousin.

Getting her on the mayor's side would not only help him with suppressing Yoko. He will also be able to gain a strong foothold in the Tsurugi household and use their connections as well.

This girl was a goose that laid the golden eggs for the mayor. She was someone he needed on his side at all costs.

"Your name was…Sakura, right? You don't look so good. Would you like to come in and have a drink in my office?"

The mayor kept his voice soft and pleasant. He did not want to spook Sakura Tsurugi or give her any reason to doubt his intentions.

And every teenage girl was a softie on the inside. No matter how tough they tried to pretend to me, they were nothing more than fools at their age.

"I-I think I might be getting sick. I tried looking for Yoko but she seems too busy with her beast to look after me. Are you sure I will not be a brother to you?"

Sakura asked these questions with an innocent face. It made the mayor feel even better about his plan to seduce Sakura.

This girl was not only sick but also neglected. She was begging to fall into his hands and be used by him. A little love and care should be all she needed to be on the mayor's side.

"Of course, you are not a brother. No matter how good you are at a job, human life should be your priority. Your cousin is a bad person for not looking after your health."

The mayor quickly assured Sakura of this and helped his hand out.

Sakura looked back at him with a surprised but awkward expression. She seemed not to know what to do with herself.

"Give me your hand. It is not safe for a fragile girl like you to be moving around the town at night. I will accompany you back to your room and find you some medicine."

The mayor offered his hand in a form of comfort. He knew that the best way to get someone to fall for you was through skin-ship.

And a girl of Sakura's age seemed to not know what skin-ship was and mistook their feelings as love.

That was what the mayor was going for here as well. He needed Sakura to think she was in love with him. That way, she would agree to help him out with anything.

Even frame her cousin and end Yoko's carrier.

Sakura placed her hand in the mayor's hand. But her face had a disgusted expression that the mayor did not see. Instead, he guided Sakura through the base and opened the door to her room.

The room was simple and the mayor was not able to find anything inside that room that he could use.

"E-Excuse mayor. Thank you for helping me out. If there is anything I can do for you, then please do tell me. I will try my best to accommodate your needs."

Sakura bowed low when she offered her thanks. The mayor pretended to look flustered by her offer but he was happily smiling on the inside.

He was ready to take advantage of Sakura. Now it was time to test how much he could push her for advantage.

"Well, I will not ask you to do anything for me, Lady Sakura. But if you insist on paying me back, there is something you can help me with. Here, this is a perfume someone gave to me today. But I am afraid that it's a feminine scent. So, I want you to have it."

The mayor handed the bottle in his hand to Sakura.

Sakura was suspicious of the mayor in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She only looked up at him with a calm expression.

"Oh, I will use this perfume since the mayor was the one who gave it to me. I will treasure it a lot."

Sakura took the bottle from the mayor's hand and held it close.

Her face had a blush dusting her cheeks. That added a pink hue to Sakura's cheeks that made her look more adorable than before. The mayor was satisfied after seeing Sakura like this.

He had seen a lot of maidens in love. To him, this felt like a classic maiden-in-love look. He had succeeded in making this girl fall for him.

"Lady, I shall take my leave now. I am sure we will have a chase to meet you again soon."

Sakura looked away from the mayor, unable to look at him anymore. She was love-struck and under the mayor's spell now.

The mayor could not wait for tomorrow. Sakura would wear the perfume he gave her and it would agitate the beast.

As a result, the authorities would see that Yoko Tsurugi was not someone they could place their trust in.

And they would drive her out of the mayor's town. The mayor will be the only influential one left in his city.

...….

Sakura looked at the bottle of perfume in his hand with a disgusted expression.

The look in the mayor's eyes had been vial. It made Sakura feel dirty and goosebumps stood up on her arm as a result of this.

She hated every second of that man's eyes on her. But she had endured it all for Yoko's sake.

"Sakura, what do you have in your hand? Is this some new kind of perfume that is famous around this settlement or something?"

Sakura looked up from the bottle in her hand. Yoko had walked inside their shared room and was now looking at the perfume bottle in Sakura's hand. It made Sakura even more certain that something was wrong with this perfume bottle.

"This bottle was gifted to me by the mayor. He thought he could seduce an 'innocent victim' like me to his side. But little did he know that he was the prey all along."

Sakura tightened her grip on the small bottle in her hand before holding it out toward Sakura.

"Hmm, this perfume is weird. It is designed to only agitate the beasts and not have any impact on humans. The mayor tried to play a similar trick on me before."

Yoko's confession was the only thing Sakura needed to confirm her feeling of behind used.

The mayor had tried to use Sakura to hard Yoko. It was a rather common tactic but it made Sakura feel angry with the mayor.

How dare that stupid human tries and use Sakura? And to harm Yoko? That was unacceptable.

"That mayor is becoming more and more daring by the second. Yoko, we cannot allow him to get away with this insult. We need to do something about him fast."

Sakura's mind was going through different plans she could utilize to harm the major. There was a lot she came up with in under a minute.

But looking at Yoko was enough for Sakura to let all her plans fall.

After all, her cousin looked like she had a plan of her own.

"Sakura, I need you to do me quite a few favors tomorrow. We will make the mayor act in desperation so that he will have no choice but to show his real colors. Have you brought the compelling scene with you?"

Sakura was surprised for a full minute there. Stay tuned for updates on empire

She knew that Yoko did not like the seduction method of Sakura. But Yoko did not stop Sakura from using her charms and tricks to get her way either.

Mostly because it only ended up benefiting Yoko in the end.

But for the first time, Yoko was actively encouraging Sakura to use her unethical ways to benefit their cause.

Sakura was glad and she vowed to do her best.

"Of course, I have that perfume bottle with me. You want me to compel the mayor into committing a crime?"

Sakura asked the question with a suggestive tone.

"No, of course, you do not need to do anything 'that fancy.' Just nudge the mayor a little so that he does what he needs to do. He will make a fool of himself all on his own."

Sakura liked the way Yoko was thinking today. She was adapting to Sakura's tone and improvising her plans.

And just like that, Sakura fell a little deeper in love with Yoko Tsurugi. Her cousin was the one person who understood Sakura and appreciated her for who Sakura was.

Sakura had a feeling that she would be accepted by the other party no matter how twisted she became.

"Sakura, I will be counting on you tomorrow. So do what you want to do and do not be afraid."

A nod was Sakura's answer. She was already busy planning out what she needed to do tomorrow.
