New law of Beast Taming

"Yoko, hey Yoko, are you there? Can you reply to me if you can hear me? I cannot keep on chasing after you like this. Hey, stop ignoring me."

Aqua had to quieten down as soon as Yoko opened the door and went inside the party. It was a high-profile place where everyone knew each other. The chances of Aqua being found out as an intruder were high.

The only thing Aqua could do was change into a servant's costume and walk around. That was, she would keep her freedom and still have an excuse to be near Yoko.

'Tsk, I hate my instincts that want to stay near Yoko Tsurugi. She feels like a time bomb waiting to explode. Oh, why does my other half like someone like Yoko?'

Aqua knew why her other half liked Yoko. it was because of the ridiculous energy and aura Yoko had. It attracted everyone and Aqua's other half was no exception.

But just because she knew it did not have to mean that she liked it either. Aqua would rather not deal with her feeling if it meant she would get to lead a calm life in the future.

...….

Amane ditched Aqua on the terrace outside.

Now that she knew what the chairman was hiding from the public eye, Amane's desire to meet him became even more evident. She wanted to know what else he had hidden about the beast.

According to some legends, a Siren's heart could make someone immortal. But just like other legends, this was exaggerated as well.

But what was not exaggerated was the fact that Siren could bewitch humans if you were not careful. The beasts could take on the appearance of the ones you missed the most and seduce you that way.

Once a human was in their grasp, they tended to kill them slowly and relish in their heart. They were one of the cruelest creatures you could meet.

"L-Lady Yoko, I..ummm…wanted to talk to you. I have always admired how strong and bold you are. I wish to be your friend."

The man who approached Amane this time was a well-dressed one. He looked like your typical sigma-male bullshitting man on the outside but seemed to have quite a soft attitude on the inside.

But Amane had to give this kid applause. He had decided to speak Amane out when no one else had dared to. This kid had guts at least.

"It is nice to meet you as well. But I am afraid I do not recognize either you or your family crest."

Amane had made sure to memorize all the important family crests during her study time. It was important for social connections and other things.

Since this person did not have a very recognizable crest, Amane could only conclude that he was from a small family.

"I…am not from an elite family and this is not a family crest. I just like this embroidery so I bought these clothes. I hope my lady is not disappointed in me."

The man looked dejected once he realized that Amane was not interested in him because of his lack of a family crest.

The man had been ignored and neglected during the whole party because of his lack of a family crest. That irked the man and made him sad at the same time.

He had worked hard to reach his current position by working hard. But the only reason he was being ignored was because he was a commoner.

The world had come a long way, but the pettiness of the people had not changed a lot.

It was during these hard times that the hard worker heard the name 'Yoko Tsurugi' who adopted a young child into her main family out of nowhere. The adopted child had no connection to the elites and it had been the buzz all over.

It was then that the man had made up his mind. He was going to work for Yoko Tsurugi if he got permission from her. He was a hard worker so he was sure he would be able to adapt without any problems.

"Hmm, you are not from an elite family? Oh my, I am sorry. You must have a hard time making it this far in our society. I like your perseverance and talent. How about you come and work for me."

Amane had guessed what this man needed from the second she had been approached.

She would likely receive a lot of backlash for her decision to take in another stray dog who came her way. But Amane did not mind this in the slightest.

What these foolish people failed to consider was the fact that the non-elites of the circle were better at their work than the 'so-called' elites. And it was all because the non-elites knew their work and worked hard.

"I…don't know how to thank you. I would gladly take up your offer."

The man was just the first of many who approached Amane that night.

Of course, she did not offer a job to everyone she met. Amane's sharp instincts were enough for her to weed out those who would be useful to her and those who would not be useful to her.

After about one hour of doing all this, Amane was finally approached by the chairman of the council.

The chairman looked soft and harmless when he talked to people. It was impossible to even fathom his secret.

'Look at the chairman. He doesn't look like someone who would hide a Siren just under an important senet building.'

The chairman had worked hard to maintain his position for the past so many years. He had made donations and spent a lot of time in the office to ensure no one would have complaints about him.

But all that has resulted in was his current tired self who was bound to the Siren it could not even understand.

"Lady Yoko, I hope you are enjoying this party. I worked hard to prepare it." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The chairman finally made his way to Amane and his attitude was just as friendly as Amane expect it to be.

"This party is fun. I am glad that this is the first official party I am attending as the head of our household. I can make so many fun connections and friends here."

There was no friendship to be had in the elite circles. It only had people using each other to achieve their goals. The chairman should know this better than anyone else.

But he still laughed at Amane's words with a merry expression on his face.

"Hmm, so it would seem to be the case, my lady. In that case, I hope you get to make a lot of new friends."

That was all the chairman said before he fell quiet.

Amane expected him to raise the topic of the Siren on his own. Now was the best time for the chairman to speak up since no one was listening to them talking.

But the chairman was dragging this conversation out. It was making Amane annoyed and she did not like being ignored.

'Tsk, what is taking this chairman so long to as me to meet the Siren? Does he have no intention of asking me to come down and meet the Siren? Then, was the expert he was talking about not me?'

Amane was well-aware that the world did not revolve around her. But she was willing to bet that there was no one better than her when it came to dealing with the beasts. This much, Amane was willing to give us in writing.

If the chairman was not about to bring the Siren up, then Amane would have to be the one to bring the Siren up during the conversation.

She was about to do so when the chairman noticed Elder Clent walking toward him. The chairman straightened his back and braced himself.

"Chairman, I got your message and I came to meet you as soon as possible. So, what is it that you want my help with?"

As soon as the Elder opened his mouth, Amane knew the identity of the 'expert' the chairman had called for.

Elder Clent's expression was utterly smug when he looked at Yoko. He wanted to yell that he was superior in front of her but he held his tongue back.

Not that it mattered since Amane could read the thoughts on his face.

'Tsk, this man is far too prideful to be an expert on beasts. Plus, his energy is very chaotic which would cause a beast to rampage. I don't see how this man came to be known as a beast expert.'

Amane gauged the truth in an instant. But she was certain that no one would believe her even if she told them the truth.

One's reputation in a social circle defines their whole persona. And unfortunately, this man had a solid one that could not be disputed. This man knew he had the social circle in his grasp and he was not apologetic about it.
