Chapter 399: Easy problem to manage
How can the marriage between Maya and Isao be stopped?
It was simple.
By sending a complaint letter saying that this marriage wasn't allowed.
While this might be unreasonable and strange, many even wonder whether it was possible for the marriage between Isao and Maya to be stopped by such a simple method.
Yet, even if this might seem like a meaningless move and even useless, strangely enough, it was effective.
By sending this letter of complaint, naturally, the marriage couldn't be done since there was a complaint, and as it was a complaint, this marriage would be postponed.
This postponement was something that Koichi wanted to see since when the marriage was postponed, it was natural that Maya would have to make a meeting to solve all the complaints so this marriage would be allowed.
Yet, as time passed, many troubles came, and when these troubles became bigger and bigger, this marriage would be finished.
Then, what kind of complaints did Koichi send?
First and foremost, as a member of the Ten Master Clans, it was natural for Maya to give birth to a magician, so instead of marrying a normal person, she should have married a magician, so her children would be 100% magicians instead of the half-and-half chance of being a magician or a normal person.
Yet, while the public might be clueless about Maya's problem, everyone was clear that Maya couldn't get pregnant, especially after her experience during childhood.
However, Koichi used this reason to stop the marriage between Isao and Maya, showing how much he wanted to stop this marriage, even if he had to use such a horrible reason.
The second reason was that, for Maya to marry, it meant that she might forget her duty as a part of the Ten Major Clans, which was the ten leading family in this country, which would be detrimental to this country's security.
The third reason was that Isao's character was quite shabby and weird, especially when he was so young, yet he could have so much power in Hokkaido.
If he was allowed to marry into the Yotsuba Family, what would happen in the future?
There were more reasons, and Kouchi wrote all of them in one go, showing how much this marriage would bring more harm than good.
For all of those reasons, would anyone dare to allow this marriage to continue?
Even Gouki, who stayed behind, was in silence when he heard Koichi's words, which made him wonder whether this was really good.
Frankly, while the strength of the Yotsuba Clan could get stronger due to Maya's marriage with Isao, the improvement wasn't much. After all, no matter how handsome or talented Isao was, he was just a normal person.
In the world of a magician, what was important was one's talent as a magician, strength, and ability.
More importantly, did Isao think that it was easy to conquer the political and economic groups in this country just by relying on the Yotsuba Clan?
It wasn't easy!
Frankly, compared to those groups of people, Gouki felt that he, himself, was an honest person since he knew how dark the world of politics and economics was. After all, those people who didn't have power would use everything to keep their power, even if they had to discard their families.
Meanwhile, the magician family was more humanized since they treated their families with love. Naturally, some weren't, especially those who had such powerful children that made people frightened or whose families were so poor that they decided to sell their families.
Well, in the end, there were many types of people and magicians in this world, so it didn't matter.
Nevertheless, what annoyed Gouki was the fact that something was hidden from him. While the other heads of the Ten Major Clans knew something that he didn't know, he didn't know anything, and his situation was similar to Koichi's.
If Gouki knew something such as the reason why the Ten Major Clans decided to leave, then would he even stay with this loser who couldn't forget his former fiancee?
He was annoyed even though he felt that he was being pushed away, which made him wonder whether he had attracted the enmity of the Yotsuba Family or Isao Iinuma.
Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything, and he was confused as to why he was being isolated by others like Koichi.
Meanwhile, while Koichi wondered why Gouki appeared to be isolated, he didn't think too much since Goiki's situation was in his favor. If he had been alone, it might have been difficult to stop this marriage, but with Goiki's help, his chance of success to stop this marriage would have increased.
"We're done?"
"Yes."
"Then, I will go back first."
"Please give me your support when the time comes."
"I will." Goiki nodded as he tried to suppress his uncomfortable feeling. At the same time, he wasn't sure why; he could feel that something was about to happen to his family, so that was why it was necessary for him to have Koichi's support, too.
The rest of the members of the Ten Major Clans appeared to have isolated themselves, and whether they wished to or not, they had to work together to tackle this problem.
However, when Goiki went home, he received a letter that made his expression become ugly.
At the same time, a problem kept emerging in the Saegusa Family, and a scandal appeared one after another, causing the complaints that Koichi had sent to appear to be ignored, especially when Koichi's opponent appeared to have mastered the media.
'How?'
When Koichi was confused, suddenly, the Master Clans Conference was held, and this time's topic was a "Selection Meeting."
In other words, the majority of members of the Ten Master Clans had decided to select new members for this organization from the 28 Assistance Houses, which was the strongest clan, just below the Ten Master Clans.
During this meeting, the one who became the chairman was Kudo Retsu, the head of the Kudo Family, as there was an unwritten rule that the chairman was the oldest Family Head during the meeting.
Regardless, there was no doubt Koichi's eyes never looked away from Maya, who appeared nonchalant and had a relaxed smile, as if showing that everything was under her control.
Yet, this was normal, and Koichi knew that he had lost, especially when he heard the announcement from Kudo Retsu's lips.
"Here, we are together to choose two new members of the Ten Master Clans to change the position of the Ichijou and Saegusa Family."
Kudo looked at everyone and asked, "So, who agrees?"
Without Gouki and Koichi being able to say anything, everyone raised their hands without hesitation, which showed the complete failure of the two family heads.
