"Hormone?"

  "Yes, hormones."

  This time, Masa was the one who led instead of being the listener.

  The IT-reted industry aside, the reason why Masa ehe medical industry, especially dermatology-reted, was so he could make all the women in this world his ally.

  etic teology might have beore advahan before, especially when Asuha appeared in her early 40s despite being over 60, yet even so, it wasn't pletely safe. Yes, the side effects were minimal, but it ainful.

  Yet, if there was a safer method with a lot of potential, why shouldn't Asuha try it?

  Masa's veo the beauty market was the reason why Asuha came to him, and he didn't mind since he khat this way, his family would bee important, whether it was in the eyes of Asuha and all other women in this world.

  For a womay is everything—their lives.

  It might seem like an exaggeration, especially fuys who don't care much about their appearance, but for a woman, when they were bly, their lives were as good as over.

  Some guys might be ied in inner beauty, but if their exterior was also beautiful, it would be better, right?

  Even if Asuha had a lofty status, her wish was simir to many older women as they wished to always be as young aiful as ever.

  Masa had a way of doing that with magic, so of course, Asuha was curious.

  Still, his way of maniputing the beauty and appearance of someone was quite simple, and that was by using a bio-electricity to manipute the hormones iient.

  By using his bio-electricity, he maniputed their estrogen hormoo make one beore beautiful and youthful.

  Unlike a medie that ily enhahe work of the estrogen hormone, Masa used his magic to directly affect this hormone. Naturally, this wasn't perma, and one o maintain it with magic, but for a business, it was good, so that way, those patients would tio bee their patients.

  It was simir to those pstic surgery hospitals; their number one ine came from their old patients sihe result of the pstic surgery wasn't perma, and one o maintain it by ing to the hospital turly maintain their appearanbsp;

  Masa had to say this was quite difficult magic to create in the beginning, but as he had the knowledge of Vegapunk from the world of One Piece, he was able to plete it.

  While it was hard to create, it was easy to use, and when the magic was finished, it was easy to use. All the magis of the Isshiki family could use it with ease.

  By the way, the hair growth magic also worked simirly, but instead of arogen hormohe magiiputed the androgen hormone.

  Still, shouldn't they keep this expnation a secret?

  No, instead of keeping it a secret, Masa and everyone khat they had to expin it to others, so that way, many could be relieved with the treatments, especially for someoh a high status, such as Asuha.

  Then, what if their magic was stolen?

  Well, it was impossible since while it was easy for this magic to be used by the Isshiki family members, it was different from the is.

  Still, as they talked about hormones, Asuha couldn't help but ask, "If you manipute hormohen you also manipute telomeres?"

  Masa looked at Asuha and asked, "Do you wao develop a magic that allows oo bee immortal?" This was the clusion that he came to when Asuha asked him whether he could manipute telomeres or not.

  What are telomeres?

  Telomeres are a region of repetitive ide seque ead of a atid, proteg the DNA fragments; they grow shorter as cell division occurs, an indication of the persoing older. Thus, by trolling the telomeres, one effectively trol one's lifespan and achieve so-called immortality.

  " you?"

  When Asuha asked this question, her eyes were bzing hot.

  Immortality.

  This was the dream of every powerful person, including the famous first emperor who unified a, Qin Shi Huang.

  For those with power, the thing that they feared the most was losing that power, so they searched for all the methods to prolong their lives, if not to live forever, and achieve something known as immortality.

  Whether it was stific or occult, everyoried to search for a way, but even so, until now, there was no such a way.

  No, such a method existed, but the existenmortality was hidden well from the publid at least Asuha and her aors should have never seen an immortal.

  However, since Masa could develop anti-aging magic, wasn't it possible for him to find a way to develop magic that would allow oo live forever?

  The answer was—

  "I might be. I might not be."

  Masa was immortal, especially after he had bee a devil, so he would be living a long time until the universe was destroyed.

  Yet, if he was asked to turn a normal person into an immortal, it would be different.

  The Evil Piece from the world of DxD might allow him to turn a being into a devil, whiaturally increases their lifespan, but was there an Evil Pie this world?

  Or, rather, it was impossible for him to find the material to create the Evil Pie this world, but—

  "But I could probably let a human live for 200 years or so."

  "That's good enough."

  If he had time, Masa would be able to find a way to develop magic that allowed immortality, but it was impossible for him to admit that, and it was better for him to say that he could prolong the life of someone for 200 years or so.

  This wasn't bragging, and he felt that this ossible for him, especially when his hormoed magic had a possibility that allowed him to perform such a feat.

  Asuha was also satisfied with Masa's answer, and when they reached 200 years or so, Masa might develop a magic that allowed oo live 500 years or so, then it would tinue.

  Yes, this was his trump card.

  Immortality.

  By using the beauty and hair growth business, Masa gave many people an illusion that there might be a ce of him developing magic that allowed immortality to happen.

  Or rather, he might even develop a magic that allowed oo return to their youth!

  By then, who would try to bee his enemies?

  Instead, all of them would please him and protect his family well so that way they wouldn't die and could tio live forever.

  Even if Masa didn't trol them by using his bio-electricity manipution, they were as good as his sves, including Asuha, who was so lofty before him.

  This was why Masa wasn't in a hurry with his pn since when everyone died, he would still be alive, and by then, no one could stop him.

  The two talked in a good mood, and with the possibility of prolonging life and achieving immortality, the Isshiki family's position in this world was unshakable, and no one wished to know.

  As for keeping this matter a secret, her Masa nor the others po do so since if no one khen no one would put importan their family, right?

  It was the same case as when Masa announced his "Mercury" magibsp;

  Still, the time it would take to announce a way to prolong life would ime, and he shouldn't open all of his cards easily.

  The bait shouldn't be given to someohout them giving him pensation first.

  But before all of that—

  " you use yiake me younger first?" Asuha asked.

  "Sure."

  Well, there was no doubt, with his beauty magid "something else," Masa was sure that Asuha would be his greatest ally in this world.
