"You are Miya's sister?"
"Ah, you haven't heard anything from my sister? How cruel~! You are supposed to be her man, after all, so shouldn't she tell me about you?"
When Maya said those words, she even pouted, showing how annoyed she was by how stingy her sister was.
"...."
Isao took a deep breath and prepared his mind, but when he saw this de facto leader of the Yotsuba Family, he realized how dangerous this woman was.
Despite their shared features, Miya and Maya were polar opposites, a fact that couldn't escape Isao's eyes.
If Miya was cold and stern, yet inwardly, she was so warm and gentle, Maya was the opposite.
While Maya appeared flirty and even approachable, Isao could tell that this woman was cold and calculating. Within her soul, there was even madness that made her wish to destroy everything in this world that had destroyed her future and the simple happiness that a woman could have.
Still, how could he tell all of that?
Well, Isao had replicated Miya's DNA, and her innate ability allowed him to tell how someone's conduct came from with just a glance. For that reason, this ability allowed him to tell which was supposed to be his enemy.
Still, he thought that touching them and replicating their DNA to get to know their memories was faster to know whether one was an enemy or not.
Yet, despite the distance between them and how it was their first meeting, there was no doubt that Isao's knowledge of Miya's sister was far deeper than the other thoughts, considering how he replicated Miya's DNA.
As for why he pretended that he didn't know Maya, well, wasn't it obvious?
Miya never told him about her sister or about her family, so if he knew them, wouldn't it be unnatural?
Moreover, it would feel like he approached Miya because he wanted to get his hands on the Yotsuba Family, even though the one who approached him was Miya.
Still, Maya was also beautiful. Like Miya, despite being in her 40s, she appeared to be in her late 20s or early 30s, wearing a gorgeous wine-colored dress. Unlike Miya's simple yet tidy hair, her hair was arranged in a lush and enhancing way, with several curls like those of the villainess in the Otome Game.
Yet, if that villainess in the Otome Game could only wait for the transmigrator to save them, Isao knew that this woman had the power to kill anything since her alias as a "Demon King of the Far East" wasn't for nothing.
Regardless, she was a charming woman full of feminine charms and an enchanting mature beauty.
Still, as Isao felt danger from her, especially her charm, which made him do something silly and return to his bad habit again, Maya couldn't look away from him, and the more she looked at him, the more perfect he was.
His handsomeness came from the DNA of the deity in the world of "Danmachi," so it was natural that his charm wasn't on the same level as that of a mortal.
Frankly, his face shouldn't be like this since, in a common story, every protagonist should have an average appearance yet be charismatic enough to make all the heroines swoon at him.
Even the original protagonist of "Danmachi" had only an average face, and except for his virgin aura, he wasn't that particularly charming.
However, if Isao could be handsome, why should he be ordinary?
So, when Maya saw his god-like charm, she was stunned inwardly, understanding why Miya could give her body and even be impregnated by him, yet as she smiled outwardly, her inner was blazing with madness and fury, wondering why it was her sister who got everything, yet she was like this.
'Ah... ah... I want to destroy this world...'
For a charming young man like him to fall for her sister, Maya couldn't help but wish to teach him about the rule of this world. At the same time, she wanted to test whether he was really the one behind the victory of this country in Okinawa.
Still—
"Do you know me?"
"No."
"I see..." Maya nodded and looked at him with a flirty smile. "It seems Nee-san loves you well. Not only was she ready to give birth to your child, she even divorced her husband and kept everything a secret."
Yet, the more precious it was for Miya, the more she wished to destroy it. After all, unlike Miya, who would have a lovely future with this young man, what about her? She could only stay here, swallow all of her resentment and hatred, waiting for the timebomb that she had prepared to explode.
So, how could she let them have a good future?
Still, Saeki, who listened to their conversation, was dumbfounded. Not only because she saw the one who called Isao was Yotsuba Maya, the head of the Yotsuba Family, but she was also dumbfounded when she learned that Isao had made the sister of Maya, Shiba Miya, pregnant.
'This guy...'
Saeki was speechless, but regardless, for a magician to have children was a happy occasion. It could be said that all magicians were told to marry early and have children as soon as possible since all magicians were assets for the country and had the power to protect their nationality.
This might be cold, but for peace and the future, no emotion should get involved. However, as expected, even if a magician was a tool, they weren't robots, and they had a feeling, so it was impossible for them to stay as tools obediently.
'Fortunately... fortunately...'
Saeki knew that for the future of this country, while she didn't hate the Ten Master Clans, it was necessary for a country not to rely on the Ten Master Clans, or else they would be passive whenever there was a crisis, so she was together with Isao, she knew that this country was saved.
'Or not?'
Somehow, she could imagine that this country would be dominated by him.
Yet, that might not be bad, especially when she thought about the life in her womb, and as she had been with him, she had identified herself as his woman, and of course, she could see that he saw her as a family.
For the future of their family, Saeki knew what to do.
Still, if possible, while she didn't mind him having a relationship with other women, considering how limited her age and she was, she didn't want him to have a relationship with a troublesome family such as the Yotsuba Family.
However, as it happened, especially when Isao had made Miya pregnant, she could only believe in him.
Their position might be different, but as a mother, she understood what Miya felt, and she also wanted to see what Isao would do in this situation, yet she never expected Maya to do this to Isao and Miya.
"By the way, where are you?" Miya asked.
"Hokkaido."
"Hokkaido?" Maya thought for a while, then said, "Hmm.. it might be a bit far, but you have one hour."
"...one hour? One hour for what?"
"To come here."
"...you want me to come to your place in one hour when I don't even know where your house is?"
Maya laughed happily when she heard Isao's trouble. "Yes. Can you?"
"...why?"
"Oh? You can?" Maya was surprised, but then she said, "But whether you want to or not, you need to do it, or else your child's life will be in danger."
"????"
Hearing those words, Isao tilted his head, feeling confused and lost, yet also angry since this woman had provoked him.
