New law of Beast Taming

Time waited for no one, be it humans or gods. All gods were brought to the divine guild, and they were given a chase to do what they wanted.

They all adapted to the new world quite easily. And those who did not, well…. they decided to be a bit more dramatic.

"Lady Sakura, the lunatic is in front of your door, demanding to see you and your…guest again. What should we do with him?"

The secretary entered Sakura's offer, only to see her resting her head against her 'guest's' lap. This indecent behaviour was becoming quite common in the Tsurugi household.

They had changed since Lady Yoko and Lady Sakura returned after their short trip a month ago. Lady Yoko assumed everything in her family, while Lady Sakura oversaw management.

Another unfortunate change had been Lady Sakura's stepping down as the next successor.

There had been an incident that Lady Sakura refused to specify, but she had lost control of her legs. She was left paralysed from her waist down, and doctors confirmed that they could not help her.

And thus, Lady Sakura's current condition would not allow her to inherit the family.

On the other hand, lady Yoko had also lost her ability to control the beasts, but she was more up for it in terms of politics and intelligence.

And as for this 'guest,' all she did was laze around and indulge Sakura when she had these weird urges. And the employees could not be against her since this guest scared them all.

There was an air of familiarity around this person, which no one could deny and put their hands on. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

"That man again? Throw him out. Tell him we cannot help him if he does not want to help himself. Next time, ask our next family head what you should do with him."

Sakura threw Eclipse under the bus quite quickly. The small child Amane had brought home had turned into a magnificent person. He was truly worthy of the title of the next family head.

The secretary also went out, and Sakura sighed in relief before pulling her head from Amane's lap.

"Everything finally stabilised adequately. I could tell that you had been waiting for this to happen. What are you going to do from now on?"

Sakura asked while looking at the female on his lap.

"Hmm, what am I going to do from now? It's simple - I will meet those I miss. Do you think Kori and Charlie would be surprised to see me? Man, I can already hear Kori's nagging in my ear."

Amane confessed, and Sakura sighed. She knew Amane was planning to head out into the rift and search for Charlie and Kori.

There was a decent chance they were both dead, and Sakura should stop Amane. But Sakura knew that she could not stop Amane with Words alone. She needed to act and show Amane that it was not worth it.

But in her heart, Sakura knew it would be all worth it.

"I know. I also want to see the look on Charlie and Kori's faces when they see you. I think I will accompany you into the rift as well as a guide. After all, I have been in there before."

Kori tried to lighten the mood, but it ended up darkening. She coughed to hide her nervousness before Amane let out a small laugh.

"Of course. If you want to come as my guide, you can. You might also regain the use of your legs in that space. Who knows what would happen there."

Amane asked, and Sakura sighed.

Her father had been against this arrangement, but Akabe Tsurugi's heart could not support his body for long. He had died a few days ago, and now Sakura had no one left to support her except Amane.

Being with Yoko felt awkward after everything that happened. Thankfully, Yoko claimed no memory of what Sakura did with her body once Amane had it. But the guilt and shock remained in Sakura's memories.

"So, when are we heading into the rift?"

Sakura asked, and Amane grinned. That grin spelt trouble, but Sakura was excited to see it this time.

"We will be heading out tonight. I have spoken all the farewells and prepared everyone for the future. Both Yoko and Eclipse cried their eyes out. Chen called me a fool, but I could tell he was holding his tears back. Sean threatened me to bring Charlie back while Eclipse looked ready to collapse."

"Stella looked understanding and sad while Crescenta threw a fit. It was chaotic all over. I never realised how many people I grew close to over time and how many people realised my secret."

Amane confessed, but Sakura only sighed. Amane had not been...subtle in her attempts to threaten people. It was no wonder that her identity had been questioned multiple times.

"I see. In that case, let's head out tonight and find our missing members. I am sure that you missed them more than I did."

Sakura confessed, and Amane's eyes softened. She leaned down to press a soft kiss beside Sakura's lips.

"Yeah, let's find them and live a happy life. Also, let's discover what is beyond that rift. I am getting curious to see what awaits us."

Amane confessed, and the duo disappeared that evening.

The rift was as rugged as Sakura remembered. The pressure still hurt, but it was bearable, especially when the party who came to greet them on entry had familiar faces.

"Looks like I won this bet. I told you that Amane could not wait before coming after us. It did not even take a month."

Kori sounded delighted but sad at the same time. Amane walked toward them; her steps became faster, and she did not even realise when she broke into full-out running.

Her arms closed around the pair she had not seen for a long time.

"Welcome home, Yoko. We all are finally together, so stop crying. You will ruin your face if you keep crying like this."

Charlie rubbed her hand behind Amane's back to calm her down, but the tears would not stop. Finally, they were all together again, akin to a miracle.

Whatever happened next, they would face it together. There would be no regrets left.
