It isn't bad to have a follower

For Maya and Isao, the two had thought that Hokkaido was their home, or rather, this entire island was as good as theirs. 

Well, it was his, but as his wife-to-be, it was all fine, right? 

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that she could see his determination to turn this entire island into an impregnable fortress. 

Yet, while the people on the mainland were in doubt and felt a bit worried due to the influence of the Yotsuba Family on this island, the people of Hokkaido were more than happy to receive the change within this island as it brought more benefits than disadvantages. 

Regardless, Isao only thought about making his life comfortable, and he knew that the better Hokkaido was, the better for this country; though, some people were just greedy and tried to put their hands on the place that they shouldn't, and because of that, he needed to teach them. 

Still, compared to those people, he had to solve his situation with Juumonji Kazuki, the head of the Juumonji Family. 

Frankly, this family was probably the fairest and, at the same time, the most important for this country, especially for their special barrier type of magic, Phalanx, which made them an important asset for the country. 

Even if the other magicians died, only the Juumonji was living since their magic was really that important as it could be used to protect a city from modern types of artillery or even a wide range of magic. 

After gaining this magic from Alisa previously, Isao also often used this magic due to its convenience. 

Still, there was no doubt that, compared to Alisa, Isao was happier to get Juumonji Kazuki's DNA since this man's mastery over the Phalanx was just so much better. 

As for why Kazuki came to Hokkaido instead of talking with him in Tokyo, the reason was all due to Alisa, who was playing with Marika, the daughter of the veterinarian that Isao hired. 

"You are just standing here?" Isao looked at Kazuki and asked, "You are not going to meet her?" 

"...I think it is better for her to be here." Kazuki felt conflicted, watching his illegitimate child, which made him recall his old lover, the woman who he abandoned for his current wife.

"That might be the best." Isao nodded, which made Kazuki speechless, but that's how it was, right?

What would Alisa think if her father, who had abandoned her and her mother, suddenly came to her and asked her to be with him? 

Naturally, Alisa's heart would be complex, but then again, with her kind and gentle heart, she would probably stay with her adopted family instead of her real father. 

"However, she is a Juumonji." 

"Yeah, you are right." 

Hearing Isao's words, Kazuki lost his hesitation and made up his mind. 

As someone who was born from the head of the Juumonji family, naturally, Alisa would inherit the magic of the Juumonji, and because of that, she had to be with the Juumonji family, or else her magic might ruin her body. 

Magic in this world might be quite powerful, but it is also complex. If one didn't receive proper training, they would harm their bodies.

If Isao gave an example, it was like how a child held a knife for the first time. 

The child didn't know that the knife was sharp, and when it was bleeding, it only realized how dangerous it was. 

However, by then, it would be too late since, unlike a knife that only caused harm to the physical, magic would harm the soul and the mind. 

Even with the current technology of this world, it is impossible for one to heal the soul and the mind. 

However, this was also the reason why Juumonji Kazuki agreed to become Isao's ally since Isao had a way to solve the problem of every Juumonji family. 

Over Clocking. 

This was the secret technique of every Juumonji family magician, which allowed them to raise the activity of the magic calculation area in order to surpass the user's potential and temporarily increase their magic power. 

While this technique was able to allow for the Juumonji to ensure their victory, its price was high as their life as a magician would be shortened. 

Or rather, due to this technique, many of the Juumonji magicians lost their ability to use magic from a disease, and the cause of that disease was the Over Clocking.

It was also because of that, similar to the Yotsuba Family that the Juumonji Family did intense research on the Magic Calculation Area. 

So, when the Yotsuba Family decided to work together with the Juumonji Family on this research, naturally, this family agreed since they knew well that the Yotsuba Family was a magician family that specialized in mental-related magics. 

While in the process, the Juumonji Family might appear like the dog of the Yotsuba Family, but when Kazuki thought about the benefit that came from working together with this family, he felt that it was worth the price. 

After all, except for the Yotsuba Family, no one did research on this subject, and more importantly, this subject wasn't the specialty of the Juumonji Family, who was born from the Tenth Institute where its research focus was "Wide-Area Magic that Generates Virtual Structures in Space as a Defensive Countermeasure to Heavy firepower" designed to protect the Imperial Capital no during World War Three no matter what the cost.

Well, Isao didn't care much about the concern and the worry of the Juumonji Family, but there was no doubt that it was a good thing to have a follower. 

Due to Maya's incident, the Yotsuba Clan had always been paranoid and tried their best to protect each other. This was also why this family introduced a guardian system, where each of the families had their own guards to protect them. 

If he gave an example, this would be like the relationship between Miya and Sakurai Honami. 

Frankly, it was before this family might hesitate to make a connection with the Juumonji Family since not only did this family have a lot of connections with the military and government, but more importantly, this family wasn't so weak that it could be controlled. Instead, they might be devoured, but now, it is different. 

There was Isao, so why should they worry? 

Nevertheless, watching how Kazuki went to meet Alisa, he thought that he also needed to meet his stepchildren, who had been staying in Sapporo for a while. 

"Yo, Tatsuya, Miyuki." 

Watching the two, who stayed with Miya and looked at him expressionlessly, Isao still maintained his smile, but the two couldn't smile at all! 

While there was no doubt the two felt indebted and even liked Isao, the fact that he impregnated their mother made them dumbfounded. 

More importantly, instead of marrying their mother, this bastard married their aunt instead! 

The fact that their family was broken was all due to him, too! 

Still, whether it was Miyuki or Tatsuya had no respect for their biological father, so they didn't care much, especially when the marriage of their mother and father was quite distorted, so watching their mother was happy and healthy felt quite good, but—

"Sensei, can I have a spar with you?" 

While Tatsuya had no emotion, he wanted to beat this guy somehow!
