Chapter 337: 337: I won't listen to you
The air had turned tense as soon as Amane had suggested to end the party. Even if everyone did not agree with her, they had to respect her wishes. And that was how the party came to an end.
The elders as well as some of the guests continued to look at Amane even after she had ended the party. Perhaps, they were hoping for Amane to take her decision back? But that was no longer a possibility for Amane.
Once everyone realized this, they started to head out. Sakura saw over the whole process while Amane followed Marshal Zhen and his guest over to another room.
Ely started to come with them as well, but the look in her grandfather's eyes stopped her. She decided to let them have a moment for the time being.
Once they were alone, Amane gestured for her guests to sit down and tell her what happened and what they wanted help with.
Marshal Zhen's guest was only able to keep their composure for a minute before fat tears struck their eyes and they broke down crying. They looked unstable so Amane gave them time to gather themselves.
"I-I am sorry, Lady Yoko. I just never thought that I would get the opportunity to ask you for help. I am a little emotional right now."
Marshal Zhen's guest replied with an embarrassed face. The red-tinted face was heavy with emotions and Amane did not mind waiting for the person to calm down before she began her investigation.
After all, Amane did not mind waiting around for someone to calm down. If the person did not waste too much of her time, Amane was willing to let anything go.
"You can take your time. Whatever you must tell me seems to be emotionally draining for you. You can take your time to calm yourself down."
Amane assured and the man flushed a bright pink once he heard Amane's words. He also seemed taken aback by her chill attitude.
"See, I told you that Yoko Tsurugi was special and she would not mind hearing you out. You can tell her what you told me I am sure that you will get a solution to your problem if you ask her."
Marshal Zhen was putting Amane on a pedestal and that was concerning. Amane was powerful, but she was not a god.
Still, she was excited to hear what this man had to ask her.
"I…fine…I will tell you what is going on. Lady Yoko, can a human turn into a beast overnight?"
Marshal Zhen's guest asked and his question sounded earnest but not very clear.
From the looks of it, this person did not know what to ask Amane himself. And that was why he was fumbling his speech so much.
"Excuse me? Can you elaborate on what you meant by those words? There are a lot of ways for a person to turn into a beast. Are we talking about their behavior? Their powers? Or their attitude?"
Amane asked with a calm voice. Her guest bit his lip before he forced himself to answer.
"It's…all the things above. My daughter recently became sick so I asked the doctors to treat her. One of the doctors who treated her was a dwarf and his medicine made my daughter…change."
The guest replied and his voice was filled with emotion. It was difficult for Amane to gather anything from his voice or his speech.
In the end, Marshal Zhen felt pity for the man and decided to explain to Amane what was happening.
"Karl, you need to be cleared when you are giving someone details of what happened. Even I, someone who knows what is happening, got confused when you spoke like that."
Marshal Zhen scolded his friend before he turned toward Amane and clarified the situation.
"Karl's granddaughter recently got 'cursed' to change forms at night and become a beast. She doesn't remember anything when the morning hits and causes a lot of trouble. She also hallucinates a lot so Karl gets worried. Is there anything you can do for him?"
Amane raised an eyebrow once she heard the description of what was going on.
More than a beast matter, it seemed like a supernatural matter. And Amane was not an expert in ghost handling.
'Still, it is a good way to get Marshal Zhen indebted to me this time. I guess I can look at the situation.'
"Hmm, I see what is going on. I don't know how much help I will be to you. But I guess it won't hurt to look at the situation myself."
Amane assured the pair and Karl looked relieved. The wrinkles on his face straightened out and he reached toward Amane's hand to shake it.
"Thank you. Thank you so much. I will be counting on you to calm my granddaughter down."
Karl thanked Amane but he was celebrating too early. There was a solid chance that Amane might not be able to help him out. But she was going to do as much as she could for now.
"I will send you an invite to come to my estate. We are a more…traditional household, but I am sure that you will like my estate."
.........
Amane retried back to her room after that. She did warn Sakura about what was going to happen next and where they needed to go.
Sakura was happy to accompany Amane and that made her team complete for this visit.
The lock on Amane's room was tight but it showed signs of being tempered with. It seemed as if someone had tried to break into her room by force, but had failed.
'The elders are such fools. Why do they keep sending people after my stuff this openly? They are lucky that I locked the room for their sake. They would have died if they irritated Moony too much."
Amane opened the door, only to be faced with a whimpering dragon. Moony seemed to be in pain as she groaned and turned around to get comfortable. Her transformation was fast approaching.
Maybe by the time, Amane was back from looking at Karl's situation, Moony would have taken a human form.
"How are you doing, Moony? Are you in too much pain? Do you need me to knock you out?"
Amane asked as she walked near the bed. Moony was still conscious and Amane did not doubt how much pain Moony must be in.
She rubbed the moon dragon's head to help Moony calm down. It made the dragon finally settle down and look at Amane with a patient expression. Amane just continued to rub Moony until she fell asleep.
Once the morning came, Amane felt something shift on top of her body. She opened her eyes, only to see only silver hair spread all over her body. A paper-white face looked back at her and blinked.
Amane blinked a few times to clear her vision and the humanoid shape faded in and out of focus.
"Moony, did you transform?"
Amane asked and a hand covered her eyes to prevent her from looking at the fully mature body in front of her. Magic coated Amane's eyes and she felt them become heavy,
Because Amene was not fighting the magic that was covering herself, she fell victim to it and fell asleep.
The next time she opened her eyes, her eyes were covered by a pair of claws that looked familiar.
'Is moony back to being a dragon? Or did I just dream about that whole sequence? Both things are very possible.'
Currently, Amane was leaning more toward herself dreaming because of Moony's leaking aura. It could have interfered with her mind and made her think what Moony was dreaming,
For now, the dragon was asleep and this was the first good sleep Moony had in a long time. So, Amane let her be for the time being and she decided to wake up and get ready.
Amane used her powers to lock her door shut once more and then she went down. The invite from Karl was already on the table and Sherian seemed to be looking at it with disdain.
"Yoko, is this yours? What the hell are you planning on doing now? I got word from your finance that he will be swinging by today. So don't you dare do anything stupid?"
Sherina warned Amane but it was already too late. Amane already had plans for the day.
"Well, that is too bad because I need to head out today and for the next few days possibly. Lord Karl asked me for help and I promised to help him out yesterday. I am not going to go back on my words. Now, if you will excuse me. I think I will eat my breakfast outside today."
Amane walked past the dining room and Sherina jolted up awake as if lightning had struck her.
"Where do you think you are going? I did not permit you to leave yet."
Sherina complained as she watched Yoko walk out of the room. She wanted to stop Yoko but she had no right or way to do so.
"I do not need your permission to leave my home and to work. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to head out."
Sakura came down as well and she was fully dressed up. She looked at Sherina with an uncomfortable look on her face before she ignored the adult and walked out with Yoko. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
