Start by Eating Jake Jake no Mi

When the conflict ended, Miyuki naturally reported everything to her aunt. Her mother had passed away, and the one who could determine everything was her aunt, who was the leader of the Yotsuba Clan. 

Yet, Tatsuya, who listened to Miyuki's report, lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, realizing the dangers of Masa, thinking that he should erase this person as soon as possible, considering Masa's threat. 

"I see..." 

While listening to Miyuki's report, Yotsuba Maya, a beautiful mature woman in her early 40s who appeared like she was in her late 20s, also glanced subconsciously at Tatsuya's expression. 

Still, she had to admit that she was surprised and felt tense by Masa's reminder. 

War? 

How long had it been? 

After the death of her father, no one dared to provoke the Yotsuba family openly, especially when their family could erase a country with half of its members, showing how mighty this family was. 

Yet, Masa dared to do it and even caught her cousin, Kuroba Mitsugu, and all of his followers. 

If there was a reason why they didn't even contact her, then it was probably because the entire Kuroba family was isolated, especially with the Isshiki family's specialty; they could control all the electrical devices. 

In the current era, no one can escape from electrical devices, and everyone needs them, so having this advantage made this family simply unfair in the eyes of many. 

'Even this house...' 

Maya realized that the Isshiki family might be hiding something deeper than she had imagined, especially when they were invited as a member of the Senate despite their status as a magician family. 

Yet, to be honest, how did the conflict become so huge?

Maya had to admit that it was a bad decision to send Mitsugu away, and if her niece also received a similar treatment that she had received, then—

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Tell me how you met him, Miyuki." 

"Ah, yes." 

Listening to Miyuki's explanation of how they met on the entrance exam, Tatsuya somehow used his "Elemental Sight" on Masa, causing Maya to stare at Tatsuya with blank eyes. 

"...." Tatsuya.

"Hahaha..." 

Suddenly, Maya laughed happily, then looked at Tatsuya and asked, "I wonder why it has become so big, so it was all you, huh? But it is fine, isn't it? Tatsuya, you want to kill him, right? Why don't you go now? Everything all started because of you, anyway, so erase your own problem by yourselves." 

"Wait, Obaa-ue, what do you mean?!" Miyuki was startled by the sudden change of events. 

"You were also responsible, Miyuki." Maya looked at Miyuki calmly and said, "Before he was your brother, he was your guardian, a servant, a meat shield, yet you let your love pamper him. This is your irresponsibility as a master." She then looked at Tatsuya and asked, "Then, Tatsuya, what will you do? Will you ignore your mistress's problem?" 

"No, I won't." 

Yet, Tatsuya was glad that he had received permission and that he could do whatever he wanted, so he thought of using his connection to erase the Isshiki family. 

Still, he knew that this family was fearsome, and he thought that he needed to make a preparation. 

"Onii-sama!" 

Miyuki tried to stop Tatsuya, but he had already made his preparations and moved by himself. 

"Obaa-ue!" 

"Miyuki, don't be a baby." Yet, Maya didn't seem to be unperturbed by Miyuki's cry. "No one will help you in the crisis, and as a head candidate, you should learn how to be decisive. Instead of begging me, there should be a better way to stop him, right? But then again, I also understand why you have so much confidence in your older brother." 

Tatsuya was a monster, and no one could defeat him. He simply existed in this world to destroy everything, and Maya was happy for Tatsuya to be able to do that. 

Maya's mind was already broken after she lost her sense of being, memories, and everything after she was raped and modified by her older sister in her childhood. 

In her mind, what she wished was to see either the world destroyed or have it succumb under the hand of one. 

If Masa could be triggered by all of that, then Maya was more than happy to see it. 

Yet, if it wasn't, then it was all good, too. 

Still, it might be a good way to teach that bad boy that there was something that in this world couldn't be provoked. 

Did Masa think that he could control everything after he gained all of those achievements? 

Blue Beast? Midas? Or anything else? 

They were just illusion titles that one gave to others, and they meant nothing in front of the overwhelming power. 

If they fight for what they want, then why not do it? 

Maya was never afraid of a fight. Instead, she wished more than that, yet no one dared to go all out, and all of them maintained a hypocritical mask, showing their bright smile but stabbing others from behind. 

So, this direct confrontation was refreshing. 

Yet—

"You really want to fight?" 

"....."

Maya, who calmly sipped her tea, stared at the hijacked hologram screen communication, then said coldly, "I never knew that you are such a voyeur, Hiiro Masa."

"I don't really want to, either, but your nephew caused me so much trouble, after all." 

"I am sorry for that." Maya apologized without much sincerity, then said with a teasing tone, "Even I can't control him. He is a monster, after all, and with your ability, you should be able to understand his power, right? Yet, you still try to confront him. Isn't it better to just give up?" 

With Masa's ability to hack and get all the information in this world, she wouldn't be surprised if he knew the origin of Tatsuya and all of Tatsuya's abilities, including how Tatsuya could destroy several cruises on the Okinawa incident three years ago. 

Yet, despite knowing that, Masa still dared to challenge Tatsuya. 

"Why do you think that I will lose?" 

"Oh, do you think you will win?" 

"He might be a monster, but aren't all the monsters in the end killed in the story? It has always been the human who has been the victor, not a monster." 

"Are you saying that you are a human? Aren't you a beast?" 

"Well, I am a human since I am still learning how to love and make a group, unlike him, who is all alone." 

"...you are right." Maya looked at Masa on the black hologram screen, then asked, "How about you let me see your face first? You hide behind that black screen and say whatever you want, but I am sure that your expression won't lie to your feelings." 

Masa might be able to say whatever he wanted, but Maya was sure that this guy was frightened. 

"Stop with those flirty words, hag. You should act your age instead of acting like a high school girl. It disgusts me." 

"....." 

If only Hayama, the main butler, was in the main house, then there was no doubt he would start to have a cold sweat on his back after he heard Masa's words. Fortunately, he was still busy managing the magician, who almost went on a rampage in Masa's department store. 

Maya didn't say anything, but her expression was so frightening. 

"Watch me fight your nephew from your most comfortable position since when I am over with, I will come to you." 

"Oh? I can't wait for that. If you can come, that is." 

Then, their communication was cut off before Maya could see the hologram screen quickly change into a picture of the house where Tatsuya and Miyuki live. Outside the house, she saw Masa standing alone, seemingly ready for a duel, clearly showing his confidence in his victory by letting her watch their fight. 

"How arrogant..." 

Nevertheless, Maya grumbled as she sulked, being called a "Hag" by Masa. 

Still, after this, no one could say anything since the duel between Masa and Tatsuya was about to start. 

A human vs a monster. 

This battle would definitely be something that would determine the future of this world.
