"You are a liar."

  "I am."

  "....."

  Asuha couldn't help but look at Masa with a plicated expressioe the repeated warnings of her family and followers of how dangerous this meeting was, she went to meet him, and unlike before, she could see his indifferenbsp;

  At this moment, she realized his pure, shy, and virgin boy was nothing but an act to catch her off guard.

  She thought that she had always been the one who was in trol, but the truth was that she was the one who was maniputed, toyed with, and treated as a tool by him.

  In their exges, Masa had always had the upper hand instead of herself.

  She wao get angry at him, but she knew well that Masa's identity might be the cruel killer who took the lives of many in just a night, the Reaper.

  Still, she couldn't trol her emotions and wao sp him, but she was caught by him.

  "Let go!"

  "Asuha-san, what are you getting angry for? Weren't y so happily before under me?"

  Asuha blushed, feeling embarrassed, but her emotions also became even mitated. "You bastard!" Her eyes were in tears, thinking of how Masa had been pying with emotions. Even though she was in her early 60s, it seemed all womehe same, and they couldn't trol their emotions well.

  "But I really enjoy our time together."

  "Let go of me!"

  "Okay."

  Masa the go of Asuha, which stunned her.

  "....."

  Yet, after Masa let her go, Asuha felt at a loss even though she was the one who had told him to let her go.

  "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"

  The one who had the upper hand wasn't Asuha but Masa.

  She, who was thinking of using the Isshiki family, once again realized that she was used by Masa as a stepstoo get his hand on the Senate.

  Yet, even so, whehought of their exge previously, thinking that she wouldn't be able to feel it anymore...

  "How cute."

  Asuha blushed and wao beat this guy up, but Masa only chuckled, thinking that her rea was funny, so he hugged her again and said softly, "So, be obedient and be under me, okay?"

  Fag him, Asuha felt her heart trembling, feeling helpless.

  Asuha's family had existed sihe pre-dynastic times, but even so, it didn't mean their position was at the top all the time. Sometimes, they were on the verge of destru, and they used every method to stay alive till now.

  Yes, her pride was high, but she knew well the strength between her family and Masa's couldn't be pared.

  At the same time, while she khat this was a thought that couldn't be had by someone of her position, her body sought him, scorched by his touch, that it was unbearable.

  Yet, instead of resisting, in the end, she fell into his arms once again, but this time, unlike before, this time, her mature, ripened body was pletely educated by Masa as she cried in wild abandon, clearly fetting her duty, pride, and mission and be his woman obediently.

  "Ahnh~!"

  ---

  "...I am going to get pregnant if this tinues."

  Unlike Maya, who lost her womb, even if Asuha was older, it didn't mean that she couldn't get pregnant, especially when Masa had always been careless and came inside her. Moreover, he didn't like to use a . Even if one wore o wouldn't ge much, sidering the advance of teology. The anti-pregnancy was good and all, especially with how adva was, but somehow, even if she khat it was wrong, a bold idea sometimes crossed her mind.

  Yet, throwing her wild thoughts aside, sidering her age and position and all, if her childrehat she gnant by Masa, then—

  "...by the way, did you have a problem with Kokonoe Yakumo?"

  Her hair was pletely disheveled, and her expensive kimono was pletely tor despite such rough treatment, Asuha pletely melted and y on his chest like a domestic cat.

  Still, she tried to ge the focus of her thoughts by asking him this question.

  "Kokonoe Yakumo? That shinobi master?"

  Masa's expression turned weird when Asuha mentiohis name. Of course, he knew Yakumo, not only due to his reputation but also because Yakumo had been teag Tatsuya after that act in Okinawa three years ago.

  "That one."

  "So, what's wrong?"

  "If I am n, he wants to apologize to you for something." Then, somehow, Asuha's expression turned unpleasant. "Naturally, I know that someone like that isn't fit to meet you, but he has a bag on his back."

  "Who? Toudou Aoba?"

  "Oh, you know it well."

  "I think that no one will make you unhappy except for that guy."

  "Even though he is a newer, he is sant!"

  "Isn't it obvious? He has the Yotsuba on his back, but yroup is just a group of traditionalists."

  "They aren't bad, you know? They are quite good."

  Yet, even if Asuha tried to defend her followers, she khat her followers weren't as good as the Isshiki family or evesuba.

  Yes, every member of the Senate had their own powers, including Asuha, who had a long and powerful influence over the well-known iion to temples and shrines where their power base is derived from the support of a rge ti of esroups that have been passing on hidden knowledge in the background of history since pre-dynastic times.

  Among these groups are the Keepers of Shambha, who once lived in a vilge he ruins until the early Heian period, but their settlement was lost due to the Jogaion aually came uhe shelter of the Hazumi Family.

  'Shamba...'

  Somehow, Masa couldn't help but feel curious about Asuha's pce, but before that, let's focus on the problem of his oppo first.

  'But he isn't my oppo.'

  Masa had quered the stro try silently, so he knew well that whether it was Asuha or Toudou Aoba, the man who created the 4th Researstitute, the pce where the Yotsuba was created, and was also the sponsor of Yotsuba wasn't his oppo.

  Yes, if there was a reason why Toudou could get the help of Yotsuba, it was because he was the previous sponsor of the researstitute where Yotsuba was given birth before it was taken by the try, then taken ain by the Yotsuba.

  Yet, due to this retionship, the two had a give-and-take retionship, helping each other, especially when they needed each other.

  Yet, as someone whose status was simir to Asuha, it was natural that Toudou had another power under him, including Kokonoe Yakumo, the master of shinobi.

  "He hoped that you could five him and help him pay for all the mistakes." Asuha showed annoya Toudou's arrogance. "Pay for all the mistakes? He didn't have enough power to do that!" She kneerful Masa was, especially when her body was taught well by him~!

  So, Asuha khat Toudou was tant.

  "But what did that fake monk do to you?"

  Instead of Toudou's support of Yakumo, Asuha wondered what Yakumo did to Masa and the Isshiki family, so Yakumo he support of Toudou.

  Simir to the Yotsuba family, instead of a master and a follower, the retionship between Toudou and Yakumo was that of a master and a follower, but if Toudou could help Yakumo, then their position might ge.

  However, even if Yakumo was strong, Asuha believed that Masa was stronger, and to be ho, she was happy that Masa loved her well~!

  So she would help him with his problems.

  "Yakumo, huh?"

  Masa suddenly thought of the magic that Yakumo had mastered and said, "Sure, you tell them that I want all of Yakumo's knowledge?"

  "Okay~!"

  Asuha was ready to help him, and because of this, Masa had to say that a mature woman was the best.

  Naturally, with Asuha's help, Yakumo also agreed, but he wished to have a direct meeting to transfer his knowledge orally, which Masa agreed to since he was also curious about this shinobi master.

  "Blue Beast..."

  Yakumo smiled, yet his smile was that of a beast, thinking of his first meeting with a magi who could win against Tatsuya.

  The meetiween the master of modern magid a magic was about to start, yet before everything started, the result was obvious.
