"Can you also control magnetism?"
"I do."
Maya couldn't help but ask after she looked at the design of the headquarters drawn by Masa.
After the two woke up, Masa helped her with a beauty treatment, and at the same time, Maya looked around and discovered the plan Masa had created for the headquarters of the Isshiki family. Naturally, she asked for his permission first, which he agreed with since this plan was nothing, and it could even change in the future, especially after he got the Gasha Gasha no Mi, which allowed him to practically build something out of nothing instantly.
Still, reading this plan, Maya had to say, compared to Masa, that her effort to protect herself was far too insufficient.
"Masa... can you help me with the construction of my headquarters in Tokyo, too?"
Hugging him from behind, Maya acted like a little girl.
"...you don't have any money?"
"I have! You don't have to worry about the money! I will even throw myself to you, but help me to connect your place to yours, okay?"
Masa's place was far from being a simple fortress, and it could even move to evacuate in case there was a danger that was approaching.
In this plan, his home had been split into smaller areas, each of them being driven by a motorized mechanism. In the event of a crisis, all of them would move underground, amping up their defensive capabilities. On top of that, those areas would move on the superconducting linear accelerators so that each area could take a different route as it deemed appropriate.
Yet, was it all?
Naturally, there were more since Masa had even prepared for when the worst happened, such as when the system was destroyed, he had reinforced the circumference underground with 3,000 steel palates, which would help to detect any interference and protect everyone with a defensive mechanism that was prepared.
In addition to that, the plates were all independently motorized, which made them able to delay the attackers, and during that time, the shelter would decide on a safe route to take from underground.
Lastly, this was just on the technology side; as Masa was a magician, Maya was sure that he must have prepared a magic countermeasure within his place.
'Now that you mention it, what was that before?'
Before Maya entered Masa's place, she felt a strange barrier that surrounded her. While it might not be noticed by a normal person, as a powerful magician, of course, she noticed the uniqueness of his barrier magic, which made her become even more curious, and she wished him to build the same thing in her place, too.
Yet, Masa's words caused Masa to look at her weirdly. "Is that okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... do you trust me so much?"
They might have been doing it so many times, yet even so, their meeting was relatively short, so how could Maya trust him so much?
Yet, Maya only smiled softly and said, "I do."
"...why?"
"Well, if you want to do something, I can't do anything, right?"
"..."
That's true, he thought.
If he wanted to do something to Maya, she was helpless, and she could do nothing except wait for his judgment, yet even so, he didn't do that and just followed the flow of letting himself be taken by her.
At the same time, he also didn't even get angry or panicked and calmly thought of a problem caused by her sudden visit.
Or rather, instead of trusting, she just gave up and lay down, enjoying the benefit that came from him.
Yet, even so, asking him to build a headquarters for her family was something on a different scale of trust since it was for her safety and future, and considering what had happened last time, did she not even hesitate to ask for his help?
Still watching his confused expression, Maya smiled and kissed him again.
"...."
Masa rolled his eyes and decided to stop thinking. Even if she tried to betray him, it didn't really matter since he wasn't so weak, and this was why Maya would never betray him.
Knowing that he wasn't afraid of her betrayal if she followed him obediently, Maya also wasn't afraid that he would betray her.
Due to her experience, she longed for someone that she could trust and love. Her father, the only person, had died, and she also couldn't even get pregnant as she lost her womb in the past, which made her unable to have a child. Her family, her older sister and all of them, instead of letting her die quietly so she wouldn't live in this cruel world anymore, her older sister, the one that she trusted the most, used her magic to erase all of the trauma, beings, experiences, and memories, killing her identity, which made her Yotsuba Maya.
If there was a reason why she lived in this world, it was because she just wanted to have revenge and destroy everything, whether those who lived in this world or this world itself, who had made her like this.
This was why Maya wasn't willing to die just like that when Masa suddenly came to her that night. Yet, unexpectedly, this relationship would evolve into something more, something that made her heart long for every moment to be with him.
So, when Masa didn't come to visit her for just a few days, Maya couldn't stand it any longer and decided to visit him.
Still, there was no doubt, watching his confidence, who believed that this world would be as good as his; as long as Maya could stay by his side, she would give her everything.
"You are so cute~!"
"...stop teasing me, okay?"
Masa sighed, which made Maya giggle, and then asked, "So what are you planning to do? Since you plan to create such a secured shelter for you and your family underground, you must be planning something bad, right? Come on~! Share with me~!"
"....."
As expected of the head of the Yotsuba family, Masa thought.
Just because she saw his shelter and headquarters design, Maya could come up with a conclusion that he would do something that would endanger this world, something crazy that would twist the common sense of this world, something that would even destroy this world.
If it was someone else, Masa might hesitate, even his lovers, family, and even his children, but Maya... when he thought of her past, he knew that she would help him.
"Give me all the research for the Magic Calculation Area first; then, I can talk about my plan."
"Sure."
Maya had no hesitation in answering, and she was ready to send all of the data from the Magic Calculation Area to Masa. "Can I just send it to your email? It's safe, right?"
"Yes, I have shares in all the communications companies in this country and the main companies in the world, so nothing can get any information from me and my family."
"It's good, then." Maya nodded in satisfaction, feeling even more satisfied with Masa's protection within their privacy.
"But as the head of the Yotsuba family, can you share something so important like this with me without hesitation?"
Masa felt that Maya trusted him so much, especially since Maya could give him all the research on the Magic Calculation Area, which was known as the "black box" area, which hadn't been clarified as it was the origin and the difference between a human and a magician since without it, it was impossible for a human to become a magician.
Masa needed to research many things, and it was impossible for him to ask others to do deep research on the Magic Calculation Area, and there weren't many who did research on it except for Yotsuba and Juumonji.
Juumonji aside, since Masa didn't have much of a connection with this family, Maya was the head of the Yotsuba family, so Masa couldn't help but ask her whether it was okay to get that data, but unexpectedly, she would give him her everything, which should be the result of hard work of all generations of the Yotsuba family from its beginning to now.
So, was it okay for him to get all of this?
"Yes."
Maya nodded confidently and said, "I can tell that your plan is worth such a price."
In other words, she had this blind trust in him.
"....."
Masa fell in silence for a while, but he also wanted to see how Maya would react if she knew about his plan. More importantly, he also needed her research, which related to the Magic Calculation Area, so—
"Typhon Plan?"
'The father of monsters?'
Maya was curious, staring at the title of the plan for a moment with curiosity before she opened it, then—
"Hahaha."
As expected, Maya didn't choose the wrong person.
Putting the plan on the table carefully, she then kissed him and started another lewd act.
"....." Masa.
