New law of Beast Taming

’This little shit thinks he can guilt trip me into helping his daughter out? How foolish of this man to think that. But I guess I can let him dream for now.’

Charlie smiled a calming smile and then looked back at Sakura with an adoring expression on her face. Her smile made Sakura’s heart chill and she immediately looked away from Charlie’s face. Stay tuned to freewebnovel

"I will be more than happy to help Sakura out with anything if she wants my help. After all, she is Yoko’s ’beloved’ younger cousin and someone I see as a sister as well."

Charlie’s words made Sakura shudder and the younger could hear the mocking tone in Charlie’s voice.

But her parents were fooled and her mother looked especially relieved to have Charlie Suzuki’s support for Sakura.

With this, even if the other brat tried to extend his influence over their family, they would have the divine guild to make him back down.

The dinner ended soon and it was time for people to start moving out. Sakura waited for her parents to leave as well, but she was surprised to see them still sitting at the table.

And since everyone else was still sitting at the table, Charlie ended up sitting there as well. It was a rather awkward time for them all but finally, Akabe coughed into his fist and looked at Charlie with a look full of respect.

"Lady Suzuki, you must be tired after a full day of working. I heard that you are going to spend a night here so I will ask the servants to run a bath for you. You should enjoy yourself and relax."

Charlie Suzuki’s eyes narrowed just a little bit as she looked at the couple in front of her. She could tell that they were cooking something.

But Charlie was not worried too much. As much as she hated to admit it, she knew that Sakura could handle her handle herself. She would not need Charlie’s help to solve her problems.

’And there goes my brownie points to ear. I wanted to impress Yoko with how helpful I am, but I guess this will all have to wait.’

Since the Tsurugi couple was forcing Charlie to go out so badly, she decided to take her leave. But not before casting a subtle spell that would tell her all they were talking about.

......….

"What do you both want from me? You were practically telling Lady Suzuki to get out with your words. So, whatever you want to say better be important."

Sakura looked at her parents with an annoyed expression on her face. She could tell that they wanted to say things to her this whole time but had been holding themselves back.

But now they finally had an opportunity to speak about what they had been suppressing all this while.

"Sakura, this is your chance and you need to take it. Charlie Suzuki is a big opportunity for you. Now that Yoko is not here, it is time for you to seduce her."

Sakura had brought up the glass of water and taken a single sip when her mother said these words. Immediately, Sakura felt herself choke on the water in her throat. She could not understand what she had just heard.

"Excuse me, but I don’t think I heard what you said properly. Can you repeat your words?"

Sakura asked her mother and her mother sighed in a tired but expecting manner. She could not help but look at her mother with a horrified look on her face.

But Elios Tsurugi had a smug look on her face when she looked at her daughter. She seemed to not even realize the rectification of what she had just suggested.

"Sakura, I know that it is tough for you to imagine being with anyone you do not like at your age, but I want you to try and date Charlie Suzuki. Her support would mean a lot for our family."

Sakura tried her hardest to stop herself from breaking out into laughter. But she was not able to stop herself in the end.

Snickers escaped her mouth and she bent her body to not show her face to her mother. That worried Elios and she extended her hand to check up on Sakura. But Sakura moved out of her range.

"Mother, it is a very interesting time for you to come back into my life and interfere. As for your suggestion, I don’t think I want to seduce Charlie Suzuki. I do not like her like that and I know that Lady Suzuki also does not fancy me like that."

"Sakura, take this seriously for once. We know that Lady Suzuki does not fancy you like that and that is why you must seduce her instead. Make her like you so that she stays by your side."

Elios finally raised her voice, her temper getting the better of her.

Both Sakura and Akabe looked surprised at her lack of control and Elios was surprised at herself as well. She could not figure out why she had reacted the way she did.

’Huh? Why did I lose control of my emotions? What Sakura said was not a big deal and I knew that as well. It almost felt as if I was not able to control myself. Hasn’t this been happening for some time now?’

If Elios thought back at what all happened and when she began to lose control of herself, she could point it back to the time she had accepted the deal for the bud bug and her new powers.

"Mother, I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to interfere with my relationships. And I can assure you that no matter what you do, Lady Suzuki will not see me as anything more than a friend."

Sakura assured her mother and quickly went back to her room. Elios bit her lip once she realized that her daughter had no intention of following her will and she began to plan.

"Tsk, that Sakura. She sure is causing us all kinds of problems now. What an age for her to be rebellious in. What should we do now?"

Elios asked while looking back at her husband. She was all out of ideas for a while and tired of what was going on in her life.

That must be the reason why she was having trouble thinking about things. It must be the stress of the situation.

"Hmm, Sakura is quite rebellious but that doesn’t mean that we need to give up on Charlie Suzuki. If Sakura would not do, then we can ask one of the elders to lend us their people for this task."

"From the rumors, we can safely assume that Lady Suzuki prefers the company of females to males. I know Elder Dao’s granddaughter looks a lot like Yoko and if my guess is right, then she would be the right one for this job."

Akabe pointed it out and Elios was reminded of Elder Dao’s granddaughter. It had been a long time since Elios had seen her.

From what she remembered, Crescenta was a spoilt brat who had a superiority complex. But from what she remembered, Crescenta did look a lot like Yoko when she did her make-up and dressed up.

"Hmm, this could work, I can quickly arrange for an incense that would only affect Lady Suzuki and we can have Crescenta seduce her. But I am worried what Crescenta would do after we have her seduce Lady Suzuki."

After all, both Elder Dao and Crescenta were greedy people. They both wanted to take advantage of what they could at any given time.

"That is a bridge that we would cross when it is time to do so. We can also have Crescenta sign an agreement beforehand which she would not be able to break. It will all work out in the end."

Akabe pointed it out and Elios thought that it made sense. So, they called for Elder Dao and made the preparations.

Crescenta looked overly enthusiastic about seducing someone like Charlie Suzuki. The proud and challenging look in her eyes was what assured Elios that she was the right one for the job.

But Elder Dao was the one who decided to pose a problem in this case. He looked unsatisfied with what was being offered to him.

"You want my granddaughter to seduce Charlie Suzuki and help back Sakura. I don’t like this deal. If my granddaughter is going to seduce Lady Suzuki, then what is stopping her from becoming the family head anyway?"

Elder Dao asked with a greedy voice. The Tsurugi couple looked back at him with an impassive face.

It seemed like this deal was not worth it and they decided to withdraw it when Crescenta interfered.

"Grandfather, it is alright. I want to take this deal since I do not want to be the Tsurugi head anyway. With Lady Suzuki in my clutches, I will have the power of the divine guild on our side."

Elder Dao, who had looked unsatisfied up until now, suddenly looked intrigued and happy once more. He had not thought of this point.

It was true that the power of the divine guild was more than that of the Tsurugi family. The divine guild also had a longer standing and was the better deal here.

"Hmm, now that I think about it, it does seem like a good deal. But are you sure you would be able to seduce Charlie Suzuki?"

Elder Dao asked and his granddaughter just scoffed at his lack of confidence.
