Amane rested her hand on the beast''s head and her manage began to build up. Ste recognized what Amane was about to do and quickly held her wrist.


    Anger and confusion swirled inside Ste''s eyes when she looked at Amane.


    "What do you think you are doing? We are asked to keep the ecosystem as intact as possible. You cannot just go and kill a beast like this."


    Ste protested Amane''s actions. But Amane was not phased. Ste had always had a thing for being authoritative during these times.


    In Ste''s words, it helped her remain calm and to test her limits. Ste had always been more sensitive and powerful than others around her. And she often had a lot of outbursts during her childhood that hurt people around her.


    To control herself, Ste ended up imposing a self-made ban on her powers. And that had worked great for her.


    During some time when Amane had not been there, her rules had be iron-d and it seemed she was no longer able to defy once she had epted an order. It had just be a part of her nature.


    "Hmm, so you want me to spare this chimera? But it will only do more harm than good. Chimeras are invasive species that do not recognize their environment. They will kill indiscriminately and harm the environment."


    For the first time during this whole debate, doubt sparkled in Ste''s eyes. She also lightened her grip and let Amane go.


    She still did not seem on board with killing the Chimera but she was no longer resisting Amane''s decisions either.


    "Hey, both of you pay attention to me. I am still stuck beneath this chimera you know. Get me out of here."


    Sakura spoke up to remind them both of her presence.


    Poor Sakura was scared stiff beneath the body of that huge chimera but she was still still and not interrupting Amane until she needed to.


    The chimera was trying to break free from the chains and it was about to reach Sakura when she called out to Amane.


    Amane no longer cared about Ste''s warning. She decided to save Sakura first and then face the music.


    Sakura''s body sagged in relief once the Chimera on top of her dropped dead in those chains. About a minuteter, its body disappeared in ashes.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "T-That sure was something. I cannot believe you just left me like that."


    Sakurained as she collected herself. Seeing her scared like this made Amane amused. It made her want to pamper Sakura for being good.


    "Aww, you were being such a good girl that I could not help myself. How about I reward you for being braveter tonight? Come to my room and we will have some fun."


    Sakura seemed to have something she wanted to say. But she closed her mouth as soon as Amane offered her a reward.


    Amane had not been quiet about her words and Ste turned toward her as well. There was loneliness in Ste''s eyes and a dash of longing mixed as well.


    But it was no longer something Amane had any right to interfere with.


    "Alright, we are done here. Let''s head back to the settlement and tell everyone what we found out. I will set up a protective barrier for tonight so that we do not get attacks. I will also seal this sight for now."


    Amane was sure that this situation would not be easy to handle.


    First, no one had any idea how many chimeras were there in this forest currently. And there was also the danger of more beastsing in contact with this site if it was left open.


    So, Amane decided to put a temporary seal on this ce. But it was far away from a perfect solution to their problem.


    "What should we do with this site now? Can we even dispose of all this stuff? Or, would we have to wait for it to dpose first?"


    Sakura presented a good question to look at.


    Without testing the original substance that caused all these chimeric reactions, it would be impossible to tell how long this site needed to be left alone. It could be days, months, or even centuries.


    "I will contact the government and exin to them what happened. But are we sure that the chimera was mutated because of this site and nothing else?"


    "Of course. There is a sweet smell here that is certainly artificial. I will not make a mistake this basic."


    Amane did not want to say why she was so certain about the chimera''s origin. She did not want to remember her dark past when she had been foolish.


    That time was long gone and Amane had grown up to correct her mistakes.


    She had been one of the forerunners when it came to the destruction of chimera research and now, she wanted nothing to do with it.


    "I understand. Then, kindly seal this ce off."


    Amane nodded and signalled for the other two to step back. Her mana created a seal around this clearing and Amane quickly tested the strength of this barrier.


    She did not even notice when her mana melted into her original one and Ste''s were wide open in shock.


    "Lady Yoko…you…"


    Ste was at a loss for words. The more she looked at Amane, the more simrities she could find between her and the person who had taken Ste in when she needed it the most.


    Ste hated topare Lady Yoko Tsurugi, a spoilt noble from today''s time to that great person Amane in her memories. But for some reason, thatparison kept on jumping into her mind.


    "Do not think too much. Anyway, we are done here so let''s head back. It will take me some time toplete the barrier around the settlement and we should be done before the sun sets."


    Amane was well aware of what Ste wanted to say to her. And that was why she closed off all doors of possibilities for Ste beforehand.


    Seeing that Yoko did not want to talk about what was going on, Ste could only sigh and give up.


    Ste would get all her answers from this person, this much Ste was sure of. But that day was not today or tomorrow.


    ...….


    "W-What did you say happened in the forest? Did you find human remains? What do we do now?"


    The mayor of this small settlement the government was trying to develop went white. When he had taken up this role, he had been assured that there was nothing dangerous in the forest.


    That was why he had invested in this project and even decided to trust the government.


    But this sudden sign of danger did not sit well with the mayor.


    "Calm down, mayor. We will see what the problem is and act. We assure you that nothing would happen to this settlement before and after it is finished constructing."


    Ste calmed the mayor down with her words. She had a reputation for being trustworthy and she was also powerful.


    That was the only reason the mayor was able to put his trust in the government and give his money away.


    "Y-You will take care of this problem? Then I will trust you this time. But if you try to deceive me, then I will sue the government to cover all my loss."


    The mayor threatened with a shaking voice. His current self did not seem to inspire much fear in the on-lookers but they all knew this person had money and influence.


    That was why even the government did not want to have him as an enemy.


    "I am done settling the barrier around this ce. I will head out tomorrow to look around the forest."


    Amane walked into the building as well. The mayor''s house was the first and only building to be finished in this ce. It was mostly because the mayor was a proud person and he wanted to have the best cut out of this establishment.


    But now the mayor was regretting ever having agreed to the government''s sweet words.


    Amane did not stay around to listen to what the mayor had to say. She had an appointment for tonight and Amane had even put up a small barrier around her room.


    When she opened her room door, there was a delightful sight in front of her.


    Sakura kneeled on the bed with her legs and pussy positioned toward the entry door. There was a vibrator in her pussy, keeping Sakura stretched and ready.


    And connected to the vibrator was a dog tail.


    "M-Master you are back!"


    Sakura eximed with a moan and looked back. Her movement shifted the vibrator inside her pussy and it jabbed her pleasure spot.


    Whatever strength was left in Sakura''s legs caused her to copse and her cock drooled on the bed.


    "Oh my, what a disobedient pet I have. I asked you to stay put and you were not even able to do that much?"


    Amane locked the door being her and stalked her way toward the bed.
