New law of Beast Taming

Sakura's senses had sharpened considerably. But that did not mean she was willing to trust them 100% at any given time.

Having these sharp senses also meant that Sakura was oversensitive to the smallest of things and it could cause her hallucinations. That seemed to be the case this time as well.

'Ah, my senses must be playing a trick on me once more. I am beginning to see people who are not even here. I should rest more once I reach home.'

"Hey Sakura, are you not going to follow us? Does that mean I get to have my date with Yoko?"

Charlie Suzuki's irritating voice brought Sakura back to reality. She frowned but followed Charlie and Yoko at a faster pace.

"Don't you dare put your dirty hands on my Yoko? And this is not a date, but official work. Learn the difference already."

Sakura caught up with the other two, her brain forgetting about having been followed in the first place. She did not care even if she had been followed by anyone by now since she would kill them if she met them again.

Once more, the shadow leaned out to look at their group, but no one turned around to pay attention to it. And once the road was clear, the shadow leaned down to look at the locked dragon shrine.

The seal was held too tight on it for the shadow to break down so they gave up…. for now. They would come back later to check on how to break this seal once more.

......

"So, this is the site with a fresh seal break? Hmm, there is no sign of struggle or uneasiness. The person who broke the seal is an expert for sure."

Amane leaned down to check up on the seal. She had to kneel and the other two gulped as they were faced with the tantalizing sight of Amane's full ass on display.

Since Amane had the egg inside her body, both leaning down as well as getting up were going to be a problem for her. But she still tried her best to force herself up and rub her belly.

That also attracted both Sakura's and Charlie's attention and made them ache a little bit.

"I cannot see any obvious residue of magic that might have been performed at this place. What about you? Can you see anything like that?"

Amane asked as she turned to the other two. She watched them droll all over her and Amane was suddenly amused. She waved her hand in from of her party's faces before lightly touching them.

"Hey, are you both there? Did you somehow turn into a statue? Should I just leave you here?"

Amane asked and Sakura was the first one to snap out of her daze.

"Huh? Oh, Yoko? Right, we are still out and I need to pay attention to what is happening. Don't worry, I will pay attention now. You said something about the break not being obvious, right?"

That was not what Amane had said but this was close enough to the idea of what she wanted to convey to these two.

"Hmm, that is right. There is no forceful energy or any signs of struggle. We might need to check around to see more."

Amane placed a hand on Charlie's shoulder and squeezed. It was not a gentle squeeze and a little more pressure would surely break Charlie's arm.

But this was also the only way to snap Charlie out of her daze. And it wired as Charlie came around slowly but surely.

"Ouch, my shoulder hurts. Yoko, if you are into pain play, then tell me. I will gladly become your slave for you."

Charlie rubbed her shoulder but her flirty tone was ever-present. It made Amane laugh out loud before she became serious once more.

"Both of you, pay attention for now. We will have to sate our urges later."

Amane's scolding was very mild so the other two knew that she was not angry at them. They started to look around as well but did not find anything of significance. So, they had to give up in the end.

Their displeasure was immense and Sakura's lack of control also caused her powers to heat the area.

"This sucks. There is nothing for us to look at. Where do we even start our investigation from?"

Sakura asked as she looked around. Somehow, no one seemed to be around them who could tell them about what was happening.

Not unless Sakura counted the shadow following them. But she was convinced that it was something her mind had hallucinated.

"You! Stop following us and come out. I know that you have been looking at us for some time now. It's better if you confess to us now."

Sakura jolted awake when she heard Yoko speak like this. The shadow following them also came out and it was a small kid. The kid looked to be about 13 and had dirty blond hair with blue eyes.

He looked scared to come out at first, but then he gathered his courage to make his way out and meet everyone.

"I…am not a suspicious person. Please, I just want to ask you all for help. M-My village is in danger and I need all the help I can get."

The kid sounded desperate to get someone to help him out. There was something earnest in his gaze as he looked up at the group.

"Sure kid, we will help. But what is the thing you need help with? Can you explain it to us?"

Amane asked as she kneeled in front of the kid. She did not want to look too intimidating to someone who was already scared of her.

"I…I do not know. I just know that something horrible is going to happen to us because of what we did to the dragon seal. Our protection, it's gone. I cannot feel it anywhere."

The kid seemed scared but none of his words made any sense to Amane.

She knew that the dragon shrine had guardians who looked after it. In return, the dragon's magic protected the vicinity and provided them all with suitable living space where there could be none.

It was a contract that had been in effect since ancient times. But unfortunately, Amane had never been able to get to know a dragon's marked human or interact with someone who had the dragon's blessing.

Dragons have been rare in her time as well. And then they all went underground once the great war started.

But something about this kid's aura was different. It genuinely seemed as if he had some other power surrounding his body. And that was what gave Amane the confidence to trust his words.

"So, you want us to help you out? Sure kid, we will look at what you want to show us. Now hurry up and lead us to your destination."

Amane gestured to the kid to lean them. She also whistled to make Moony come back and the dragon did.

The kid looked up in awe as Moony landed on Amane's shoulder and gave the kid a superior look before snuggling into Amane's neck.

"Wow, a real-life dragon. Can I touch it? Will you allow me to?"

The kid asked as he looked up at Moony with stars in his eyes. Amane turned to Moony for confirmation as well.

"Well Moony, what do you say? Will you allow the kid to touch you?"

Amane asked the beast on her shoulder but Moony just turned her head away in disgust. She did not seem interested in getting pets from anyone, much less Moony.

"Looks like she is not interested in it now. You will need to coax her a lot to make her open to you." Stay tuned to empire

Moony let out a small hiss as Amane picked her up and made her lean down toward the kid. The power of the two dragons collided and the protection of the ancient dragon made Moony take a step back.

"Oh, looks like I cannot touch the dragon as well. You see, this has been the case since I was a kid. I cannot touch beasts and they cannot touch me as well. Only those related to me can touch me."

The kid explained with a happy face. He seemed to have made peace with his emotions.

"Is that the case?"

Sakura leaned down to press her hand against the kid's shoulder but she was renounced back. A similar thing happened with Charlie as well.

And Amane? She did not even try to push through the dragon's power. She could see a small shield around the kid now and she had no intention of pressing it more than it needed to be.

"Let's head to your town now. We might need to spend a night there to see what kind of disaster is about to strike. Don't worry, we are investigating all these strange cases, kid."

Amane assured the teen keeper and got a watery smile. With Moony's help, another dragon shrine was sealed up but the kid, Derek, informed that the feeling of doom he was getting has still not disappeared.

If anything, it seemed to be getting stronger by the second for him. Thankfully, the village looked untouched and they easily got to sit down at the dinner table.

It was only them in the huge house since Derek was taken in by his neighbour for safety reasons.

The neighbour looked pissed to have to look after one more kid. But that was how things ended up being.
