New law of Beast Taming

Never in her life has Elios Tsurugi thought that she would seek someone out to help her out with her troubles. She had always been a rather independent lady after all.

But now that she was faced with Yoko Tsurugi and facing all her shortcomings, Elios had finally decided to take the hand of help that had been stretched out toward her.

Layla, Sakura's exclusive maid had taken Elios Tsurugi out of the mansion and into a drinking establishment. It was a high-class place with a lot of well-respected people. It was a nice place to come for people coming to relax.

But Elios Tsurugi would not be caught in one of these establishments or her reputation would be destroyed. And that was why she was hiding herself right now as she waited for the one Layla mentioned.

"I am sorry, my lady. I did not mean to be late but it just happened. I am so glad to see that you waited for me."

Elios Tsurugi looked up, only to notice Lord Morris taking a seat in front of her.

But rather than being the elder Morris couple Elios was used to, the person sitting in front of her was the younger one, the recent title holder of the house.

"I heard that you have the solution for all kinds of problems. So, I want you to help me get rid of someone. This big has been a thorn in my side for quite some time and they are both smart, as well as lucky enough to avoid my traps."

Elios Tsurugi did not know why she spoke all of this. There was no reason to pour her heart out to the younger man.

But there was something inhuman about his presence that helped Elios relax and speak to him about things she dared not speak to anyone else.

Morris listened to her words without interrupting before he gave her a relaxed smile and held his hand out. He had a small but empty bottle in his hand and he placed it on the table.

Elios's curiosity was spiked and she reached out toward the bottle to observe it. But there seemed to be nothing inside of this bottle.

"This bottle is a special thing. You might not realize what it holds now, but if you go to the Centric temple and prey there, then there is a solid chance that your wish would come true."

Morris assured Elios with utter confidence in his voice. Elios did not doubt the authenticity of his words. But the bigger problem was - how to find that central temple.

There was no way for Elios to know where that temple was, nor did she have enough time to look around. But as things would have it, luck was on her side.

"I think you might have a problem with finding the temple alone, so I marked up the place for you. Don't worry, it is not too far away into the woods and you can go alone. No, you should go there alone."

Elios Tsurugi looked down at the map Morris had handed to him. It had a placed mark on it and Elios Tsurugi happened to recognize that place. She could easily make her way to the temple.

"Thank you, Lord Morris. Let me know if you ever need anything for me in the future. I will do my utter best to match your sincerity. Now, I would also like it if you signed the confidential treaty so that the news of this transaction does not leak out."

Elios Tsurugi held the parchment out to Lord Morris and he signed it with an amused expression on his face.

His piercing eyes seemed to look right through Elios and she had a feeling that she was not talking to a man right now.

"There is no need for you to thank me just yet. I am just doing what needs to be done to test things out. And you, Elios Tsurugi, are a big help."

Elios did not know what Lord Morris meant by those words, but she did not even ask him about it.

She just stood up from her seat and made her way out.

As soon as she was out, Morris grabbed his head in pain and groaned. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to not remember a thing of what happened.

"Huh? What am I doing here? I was supposed to be back home. Did someone call me out?"

Morris often had these fainting spells and times when he did not feel like himself. It was so common that he had gotten used to it a long time ago.

It all happened when he visited that weird temple on the recommendations of one of his old acquaintances. Since then, Morris's fortune had been on the rise, but his consciousness was often not with him.

....

Elios Tsurugi hurried up toward the temple. Her feet took her to the marked location and she entered the sacred grounds.

The temple was well-maintained and clean. It was also repaired recently and had no visible flaw. This place was well-cared for.

It even had priests and other people looking after it. But once again, Elios could not help but feel out of place. All the priests seemed to have their eyes on Elios as she entered the main praying hall.

It was empty and the door closed behind Elios.

In the middle of the room stood a human-sized statue of the most beautiful thing Elios has seen. That woman bewitched her and Elios headed toward the deity's sculpture.

Her hands almost reached out toward the idol to touch then Elios pulled her hand back. But the rock statue leaned forward and Elios's hand touched the statues.

As soon as she did this, pleasure caused through her body and Elios ended up coming. A pool of slick emerged below Elios's legs and she was wet and leaking.

She had no idea what even happened, but she knew that this was something she had been looking for all her life.

'My dear child, do not struggle and give in to me. I want you to not think about anything and become my slave.'

The goddess asked and Elios was happy to comply. But before that, she needed to finish Yoko and Sakura.

Elios's feelings for those two were so strong that even the goddess's allure could not make her forget about them.

The goddess recognized that as well and took a step back. The goddess did not like what she saw in Elios's emotions but she could not turn Elios away as well.

But as much as the goddess wanted to kill those two, she could not because of their leader and the one who controlled fate. That Yoko girl had been touched by the supreme one and the lesser gods could not do anything about it.

'Hmm, I cannot kill Yoko or allow her to come to harm by my powers. But I can still cause a natural death for her. Peprahs because of the beasts she loves so much.'

The best way to isolate Yoko Tsurugi could be if the humans banded together and opposed her. It would also help drive Yoko Tsurugi toward the path of the supreme one.

"My goddess, please help me get rid of Yoko Tsurugi. She is a pain in my ass and always causes me problems. Please, help me get justice."

Elios begged the goddess which made the goddess's desire to help ignite.

No matter what the consequence of this would be, she would go ahead and help her devotee this time to the best of her abilities.

'Do not worry, child. Although I cannot interfere in someone's destiny outright. I can still provide you with the means to take your revenge. Come forward and receive a little bit of my power to charm people.'

Elios felt magic fill her body and she instantly felt lighter and much faster than before. Her aura had also bloomed to attract other people.

The bottle in Elios's hand was suddenly filled with something she could not see. But she knew that it was there.

'The beast in that bottle is a bud bug. They are invisible to most people's eyes and anyone they bite would start growing trees on their body, thus killing them. Use it wisely.'

Elios doubted that this thing would kill or harm Yoko Tsurugi, but if used right, it could cause a huge blow to Yoko Tsurugi's reputation.

But to do so, Elios would have to bid her time and strike when the iron was hot. She could not afford to make silly mistakes now that she had her goddess on her side.

"Thank you, my goddess. I swear that I will strive to make you proud of me in the future. I will not let your favor fall short of your expectations."

That was what Elios said before she disappeared outside of the door. She now has the means and power to take revenge. And now she needed to plan things out. She was not going to underestimate Yoko Tsurugi in the least.

.......

Amane was in a weird mood that day. She did not know why, but she felt as if something horrible was about to happen.

And no, she did not say it because of Charlie Suzuki's sudden visit. There was something big that was about to happen.

"So, Lady Suzuki, what brought you here? You did not swing around for some time so I thought that you gave up. But it looks like I was wrong about you."

Sakura's words were dry and full of sarcasm.
