New law of Beast Taming

From the scientific point of view, what Professor Cardin said made a lot of sense. Charlie was the best person Amane knew when it came to powerful partners.

And Amane had spent a few nights with Charlie as well. But hearing the professor speak like this made her annoyed. She wanted to stop listening to him but Cardin did not catch the subtle hints Amane was throwing his way.

"Of course, the best way to ensure prosperity for you would be to go at it with multiple partners. I wonder if this is something you are interested in. I have heard that humans are mostly monogamous creatures. But maybe someone like you…"

Amane slammed her hand against the bathroom door and it broke from the strength of her fist. Professor Cardin flinched once he saw the display of strength in front of him.

"Professor, I would advise you not to try and cross your limits. I am tolerating you not because I like or respect you, but because the rules of society bind me to them. Do not make me cross them."

Amane threatened Cardin but even that seemed to excite him more than Amane had wanted to. Professor Cardin’s eyes shined with eagerness and he looked back at Amane with bright eyes.

"You want to kill me? What method do you want to use? Your claws? Your power? Do I get to record it all?"

It was clear to Amane that Professor Cardin had lost his mind by now. His babbling self seemed incapable of keeping his thoughts straight.

Amane could only sigh once she saw this scene. She did not want to bother with this man anymore.

"Just leave my room and do not be seen in here again without permission. I am so tired of dealing with you."

Amane threatened and Professor Cardin finally stopped his silly gesture. Instead, he looked at Amane with his eyes held open and filled with curiosity.

"I can see the madness to explore more inside you. Why do you keep yourself in check and pretend to be human? You should stop pretending you understand human emotions and human values now and cast your shell aside."

"People like us are rare, so there is no need for you to feel ashamed. Let your natural curiosity rise and return to your base instincts."

"After all, what do monsters know about emotions and holding back…."

Professor Cardin was pushed out of the door and it was slammed directly in front of his face by Amane. She had forced the man out of her room before she lost control of her temper.

Those words had struck too close to home for her.

’Harbinger of calamity, do you think you can pretend to play human and not expect them to notice? Your nature is unlike humans, so stop trying to deny yourself.’

This voice sounded faith in Amane’s ears. She could no longer recognize who the speaker of these words was and what they wanted from her. She only knew that she wanted to forget that depressing time of her life.

"Quinten down. I am no longer the Harbinger of calamity. I stripped myself of that immortality and that title. I am no longer one of those arrogant fools. I am a human now."

Amane assured herself and as she fisted her hand. Her nails bit into her hand and blood flowed down her palm.

The blood continued to flow even after a whole minute and Amane sighed in relief.

’So, I am still human and I will continue to remain human in this lifetime. No one can take this life away from me.’

Amane was sure of her decision so she needed to let the lingering feelings of the past remain where they were. No longer would they interfere with her present.

"Sakura, you are finally back? So, did you get to meet Yoko? How is she doing? Oh, I am so worried for her."

Elios Tsurugi made her way toward Sakura as soon as she spotted her in the lobby. She had been waiting for this opportunity to make herself known for some time now.

"Yoko is doing alright. I think she is taking advantage of this time to be lazy and catch up on her rest. After all, there are no ’annoying’ or ’conspiring’ people around her to make her life difficult in there."

Charlie spoke up and Elios had not even realized that the divine leader had been there. For someone who usually had quite a loud presence, Charlie sure knew when and how to tone it down.

’Shit, why did she come back here as well. Does the divine leader not have anything productive to do other than harass me?’

Elios thought but her face remained a smiling one. She was not going to show her weakness out in the open.

"Lady Suzuki, it is so nice to see you as well. I am so glad to see that you and Sakura are getting along so well. I am sure that my daughter will benefit a lot from your strong presence by her side."

"So please look after her and give her all your support."

Elios asked while not letting this opportunity go as well. She was going to make it impossible for Charlie to separate her name from Sakura. In that case, even if the two of them do not have a close relationship as Elios wanted, she could use the divine leader’s name.

"Well, I am helping Sakura as much as I can since Yoko requested it of me, but I hope you know that it is not an invitation for you to use my name and authority as you like. I will not be happy if I find such a piece of news reaching my ears."

Charlie Suzuki cut a line between the relationship she had with Sakura and the one Elios wanted to set up for them.

Elios bit her hip in annoyance but this one was on her. She had been the one who had forgotten how blunt Charlie was at times.

She was about to back off when someone quickly ran in their direction. Crescenta decided that she wanted her presence to be known.

"D-Divine leader, I wanted to talk to you. I think we had a misunderstanding yesterday night. I wanted to say to you that whatever happened was not what you thought. Can you spare me some of your precious time?"

Crescenta was dressed head-to-toe in a different style than normal. Anyone who saw her could guess whom she was trying to imitate. Especially when Sakura was standing right there.

"First, catch your breath and calm down. I cannot understand a word of what you are saying to me. Second, I am not sure what you are talking about. I do not even remember what you are talking about. You are not that important to me in the first place."

Charlie reminded Crescenta and everyone watched as the spoilt brat tried her hardest to not cry. Crescenta’s glare toward Sakura was poisonous but Sakura looked unconcerned about being looked at that way.

"N-No, this is not…I am sure that *some* people here have filled your mind with poison against me. But I assure you that I am not as irresponsible as people make me out to be."

Crescenta tried to assure the divine leader while trying to come between her and Sakura rather discreetly. She counted it as her win when Lady Suzuki did not stop her from doing so.

Both Sakura and Charlie Suzuki had a considerable distance between their bodies which helped Crescenta in her goal of separating those two.

’Yes, just like that. You need to step out of the way for me Sakura. If you are not going to hold on tightly to your person, then you should not be with them in the first place.’

Crescenta was going to show Lady Suzuki all that she had been missing up until now. She had everything ready and organized in her room.

The only thing left to do was to take Charlie Suzuki there. She Crescenta was about to touch her when Lady Suzuki decided to move away.

"Oh my! Would you look at the time? I need to head out now before I am late. My kids are waiting for me to start our usual meeting. I am so sorry everyone, but I cannot stay here any longer."

Charlie Suzuki bowed to everyone and quickly left. Crescenta’s hand was still stretched out awkwardly to grab hold of Charlie Suzuki’s sleeve. But she quickly pulled it back once she realized that it would not be a possibility.

Of course, her attempt did not go unnoticed by Sakura. The younger girl snickered before her laughter became audible.

"Y-You! What is so funny about all this? Stop laughing at me or else…"

Crescenta threatened Sakura, feeling shame crawl up her face. She had never been stood up like this before and she felt her insides burn.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I just never thought I would see this day personally…"

Those words caused Crescenta to feel even worse than before. She had never been this humiliated in her life before.

"T-This…I am going back now."

Crescenta would make sure to get her revenge for this humiliation. She would ruin Sakura as soon as she had the power to.

But little did she know that the one Sakura had been laughing at had not been her, but Charlie Suzuki and her awkwardness.

’I cannot believe I watched *that* Charlie Suzuki running away like a frightened child. I will have to find a recording of this and show it to Yoko.’
