"You are a liar." 

"I am." 

"....." 

Asuha couldn't help but look at Masa with a complicated expression. Despite 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 indifference. 

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 control, but the truth was that she was the one who was manipulated, toyed with, and treated as a tool by him. 

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

She wanted to 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 control her emotions and wanted to slap him, but she was caught by him. 

"Let go!" 

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

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

"But I really enjoy our time together." 

"Let go of me!" 

"Okay." 

Masa then let 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 stepstone to get his hand on the Senate.

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

"How cute." 

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

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

Asuha's family had existed since the 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 destruction, 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 compared. 

At the same time, while she knew that 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 completely educated by Masa as she cried in wild abandon, clearly forgetting her duty, pride, and mission and be his woman obediently. 

"Ahnh~!" 

---

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

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 condom. Even if one wore one, it wouldn't change much, considering the advance of technology. The anti-pregnancy was good and all, especially with how advanced it was, but somehow, even if she knew that it was wrong, a bold idea sometimes crossed her mind. 

Yet, throwing her wild thoughts aside, considering her age and position and all, if her children knew that she got pregnant by Masa, then—

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

Her neat hair was completely disheveled, and her expensive kimono was completely torn, yet despite such rough treatment, Asuha completely melted and lay on his chest like a domestic cat. 

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

"Kokonoe Yakumo? That shinobi master?" 

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

"That one." 

"So, what's wrong?" 

"If I am not wrong, 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 backing 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 newcomer, he is so arrogant!" 

"Isn't it obvious? He has the Yotsuba on his back, but your group 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 knew that her followers weren't as good as the Isshiki family or even the Yotsuba. 

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

Among these groups are the Keepers of Shambhala, who once lived in a village near the ruins until the early Heian period, but their settlement was lost due to the Jogan eruption and eventually came under the shelter of the Hazumi Family.

'Shambala...' 

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

'But he isn't my opponent.' 

Masa had conquered the strongest country silently, so he knew well that whether it was Asuha or Toudou Aoba, the man who created the 4th Research Institute, the place where the Yotsuba was created, and was also the sponsor of Yotsuba wasn't his opponent. 

Yes, if there was a reason why Toudou could get the help of Yotsuba, it was because he was the previous sponsor of the research institute where Yotsuba was given birth before it was taken by the country, then taken over again by the Yotsuba. 

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

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

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

So, Asuha knew that Toudou was too arrogant. 

"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 needed the support of Toudou. 

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

However, even if Yakumo was strong, Asuha believed that Masa was stronger, and to be honest, 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, can 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 magician who could win against Tatsuya. 

The meeting between the master of modern magic and ancient magic was about to start, yet before everything started, the result was obvious.
