The Innate Ability to Make People Fall in Love (5K)

"What else can we do?"

"Well."

Mahiro sighed and said, "Putting aside the fact that you've been dead for many years and your sudden appearance would frighten many people, do you really think you can get the result you want by getting out of the car and going to see Shiba Tatsurou like this?"

And if you just go over and confront her like that, it'll be Yotsuba Clan who loses face.

Since I intend to observe his relationship with Konoha Sayuri, I'll definitely have to peek to find out.

"How stupid."

Hearing him say that, Yotsuba Miya slowly pulled back the leg that had already stepped out of the car.

She realized that she had been too hasty.

However, the restlessness in her heart made it impossible for her to maintain her usual composure. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to calm herself down.

"... What should I do?"

There's no point in rambling on Yotsuba Miya, let's get straight to the point.

"It's simple, just watch me do my job."

Mahiro snapped his fingers, and with a snap, an invisible wave of Psions enveloped the two of them.

From the outside, their figures were gradually disappearing.

This magic, inspired by the Kudou Family's "Parade of Disguise," is mainly like optical camouflage, capable of concealing one's form.

Apart from infrared cameras, no other camera can capture their images.

Then, he took the Yotsuba Miya and quietly sneaked into the FLT building.

Everything around Yotsuba Miya felt familiar, especially Director Ushiyama, who was in charge of the research and development department and was a very talented researcher.

Unfortunately, she didn't come here for nostalgia; she came to catch her husband cheating!

Guided by Mahiro, they arrived at an office, where she indeed saw the man she hadn't seen in a long time—

Shiba Tatsurou!

And indeed, a woman was with him, Konoha Sayuri!

But they seemed to be working.

"Ryuro, Tatsuya is indeed a genius. He has perfectly solved the problem of slow nerve signals by rewriting the spells using those relics he obtained from who-knows-where, combined with the prosthetic CAD."

Moreover, it possesses impressive defensive capabilities!

"USNA and Great Asian Alliance have already placed orders until next year! Our profits this quarter have exceeded the previous quarter by 60%!" Sayuri said excitedly.

"And what about Europe?" Shiba Tatsurou asked.

"In Europe, the number of orders is not large, accounting for only ten percent of the total orders, but it is still a huge source of revenue."

Sayuri flipped through her portable device, checking the number of orders.

But the joy on her face never diminished.

"Ryūrō, since Tatsuya so outstanding, why bother having him attend high school? Why not have him drop out and come back to help out in the head office's research lab?"

"That's impossible, little encyclopedia."

Shiba Tatsurou put down the report in his hand, gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said helplessly, "You know perfectly well that Tatsuya is Miyuki's guardian."

"The Yotsuba Family has so many magicians, can't they send another guardian to that little girl? I remember even that brat Yotsuba Mahiro had a guardian assigned to him, the Yotsuba Family shouldn't lack people in this area."

"Sigh, that's impossible."

Shiba Tatsurou shook his head helplessly and said, "Sayuri, neither Miyuki nor the Yotsuba Clan main family will agree to this."

"Whether they agree or not is their business! At the very least, our company doesn't have the resources to allow an excellent employee like Tatsuya to leisurely enjoy himself!"

Shiba Tatsurou's unyielding attitude made Sayuri show a resentful and indignant expression.

But what could Shiba Tatsurou do?

Forcibly defying and going against Maya Yotsuba, and denying the Yotsuba Clan main family's decision?

What's the difference between that and courting death?

You see, that woman isn't as easy to talk to as she was back then, even in the Yotsuba Miya.

Meanwhile, Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya, who had appeared in the office unnoticed, silently watched the two of them, her eyes gradually turning cold...

Chapter 177 The Innate Ability to Love (5K)

"If this is all you want me to see, then you've lost this bet."

The tone of his voice was calm, even chilling, late at Yotsuba Miya.

It was clear she was suppressing her anger.

It's clear that Konoha Sayuri and Shiba Tatsurou have a special relationship, but this kind of interaction has been going on for a while.

She already knew that, so it wasn't a big deal at all.

Their conversation, while insulting enough to her daughter Miyuki and the Yotsuba Clan main family, also revealed their insatiable greed...

None of this proves anything.

"What's the rush, Auntie Yotsuba Miya? Since you're already here, why not keep watching? You might just find something unexpected."

Mahiro sat leisurely on the office sofa and waved to Yotsuba Miya.

With optical camouflage and a soundproof barrier, there's no need to worry about their voices being heard by a third party. Even if the two of them do something here, the two people working in front of them won't notice.

I hesitated for a moment Yotsuba Miya, but still took the steps and sat down on the other side of the sofa.

She was facing the two people who were working there.

But at that moment, Sayuri suddenly made a new move.

She suddenly put down the portable device in her hand, looked up at Shiba Tatsurou, and, for reasons unknown, got up and walked over.

And she sat in his lap.

"... Sayuri, what are you doing?!"

A clear look of panic appeared on Shiba Tatsurou's face.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the emotions revealed that the cold gaze in the Yotsuba Miya softened somewhat.

However, immediately afterward, Sayuri loosened Shiba Tatsurou's tie and took off his coat.

"Sayuri, don't be like this. I know what you're thinking, but this is really impossible."

Shiba Tatsurou tried to stop Sayuri, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, even the brass belt was untied and thrown aside.

The crisp sound of the belt buckle hitting the marble floor was like the determination of Sayuri.

Under Shiba Tatsurou's gaze, Sayuri let herself slump down due to her own weight.

Snap!

Her hands gripped Shiba Tatsurou's shoulders tightly.

Sayuri's body trembled slightly. After a long while, she slowly raised her head and choked out:

"What... can't be done? It's just... changing that little girl's... guardian, what's so difficult about that!"

"I've heard... that brat Yotsuba Mahiro... is also a modified version of the Yotsuba Research Institute... and they even attend the same school. Why don't we think of a way to talk to Maya and get Yotsuba Mahiro to be Miyuki's bodyguard... Huh?!"

Sayuri probably never imagined that her words would reach Yotsuba Mahiro's ears without missing a single one.

However, Mahiro didn't react much like Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya; he maintained a nonchalant smile throughout.

That's great...

Someone actually dared to target me.

I think the last one was the leader of [Blanche], his grave is probably overgrown with weeds by now, isn't it?

That's quite courageous.

In his mind, he had already labeled this Konoha Sayuri with a death sentence, but he was in no hurry to take action and planned to continue listening.

However, it must be said that Sayuri was quite cooperative, and soon said something that really interested him.

"Could it be... because Tatsuya and Miyuki are the orphaned children of the Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya, that you can't bear to part with them? Or is it... because you see Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya's shadow in that little girl, and that's why you miss her?"

That woman has left you alone for over a decade, don't you love me?

"How could this be?!"

As if wearing a mask of pain, Shiba Tatsurou hurriedly explained, "I have no feelings for her at all. The Yotsuba Family coveted my powerful Psions abilities when I was young, but they only wanted to borrow my genes. They never let me touch her."

Besides, I've been in love with you for twenty years!

Although Yotsuba Miya was my legal wife, I rushed to your side the moment she passed away. Isn't that enough?!

"Whoa..."

I've heard something truly incredible.

His gaze gradually shifted to the Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya, where she was gripping her skirt tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning slightly white. Her beautiful face, usually as cold as ice, was contorted with ugliness, and her wine-red eyes were filled with anger and disappointment.

Her delicate body trembled slightly.

I never imagined that what Yotsuba Mahiro said was true. This man really did betray me, and from the very beginning!

She had tacitly approved of the man's shady dealings behind her back, out of consideration for his feelings, and even handed over the management of Four Leaves Technology to him.

Is this how you repay yourself now?!

"Nausea!"

Seeing the two's illicit affair and their nauseatingly sweet affection, Yotsuba Clan finally couldn't help but utter those two words in the Yotsuba Miya.

She now understood that her previous pain wasn't resistance, but rather the weariness of middle age...

"Want to take action? No problem, I can handle all the cleanup for you."

Mahiro smiled slightly and offered his personal suggestion in a friendly manner.

Hearing this Yotsuba Miya, she also turned her gaze to him, her wine-red eyes staring at him for a long time before slowly looking away and nodding slightly.

A hint of relief and gratitude finally appeared on her face.

That's really rare...

He didn't even say thank you after reviving her, but instead expressed his gratitude for such a trivial matter.

However, even without thanks, he wouldn't care at all.

Before making his move in the Yotsuba Miya, Mahiro immediately erected a barrier to conceal the Psion Light.

He knew very well that if this woman were to make a move, she would definitely not use a wide-range freezing spell like Miyuki.

Instead, they will choose to dissect the other person little by little from a psychological perspective, bringing despair.

Indeed, it was just as he had imagined.

When the Yotsuba Miya deepened and the gaze fell once more upon the two illicit lovers, a faint light slowly shone from those wine-red eyes.

The door between the two was captured in just a moment.

Interfering with and rewriting the unconscious realm—this is the ultimate application of mental interference magic!

But then, a chilling aura, seemingly capable of freezing one's soul, spread from the Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya's body.

The world froze with her at its center.

But it's not the apparent freezing; the ground and walls aren't covered in frost at all. What's frozen is the world of perception.

Like an invisible, frigid hand of winter, it gradually enveloped the two of them.

It even made the two of them suddenly shudder.

The room wasn't cold; the temperature was perfectly comfortable under the control, yet they felt a strange chill seeping into them.

She's the complete opposite of Esdeath.

Esdeath freezes the flesh and blood of living beings, while Yotsuba Clan Yotsuba Miya freezes their souls!

However, the cold wave quickly receded.
