บท 294: Isao is weak against a honey trap
"Yes, sorry for not being able to welcome you properly, Hiiromi-san."
Isao stood up and welcomed Saeki inside his small office. "I have bought this place. Sorry, it is messy."
"No, no. It was my fault for suddenly coming so suddenly, especially when you are so busy."
As Saeki said so, she couldn't help but watch Isao's face. While it was true that she was mesmerized by his appearance, with her age, she knew better herself. Instead, she had been trying to gauge his emotions, wondering what kind of a young man he was.
Young, Saeki thought.
Moreover, with this kind, gentle, and polite expression that he showed at this moment, Saeki couldn't connect his face with the merciless figures that slaughtered many enemy soldiers. Yet, instead of lowering her guard, she raised his danger within her mind even further.
If it was someone else, they would think that Isao was naive and easy to manipulate, yet in Saeki's mind, she would think of him as a cunning boy who made himself appear like prey before he reversed the situation, becoming a predator who hunted those who wanted to prey on him.
In her mind, when Isao appeared this way in front of her, Saeki knew that he tried to gauge her, observing her, wondering what kind of advance she would make.
Nevertheless, this also made her feel helpless and sorry, wondering what kind of upbringing he had taken to turn this way.
However, when one thinks about how the magician would be treated, Saeki can't say anything.
Still, whatever the situation was, Saeki knew that she needed Isao's power, and if possible, she wanted him to be part of the combat unit, which she thought would create a check-in balance for the Ten Master Clans in this country.
'However...'
Watching him decide to become an owner of a dairy farm, was it even possible?
Nevertheless, as a genius data analysis, Saeki knew that she couldn't stay in silence, and even if she wanted to be in the upper position, she knew that she had to be polite and follow his whim since she knew that being sincere, without any arrogances, was the best course of action that she should take when she faced Isao.
"Though, do you need help?"
"Help?" Isao looked at Saeki with a doubt.
"You seem in need of a hand. I will help you with your farm," Saeki said.
"...if you are willing to help, then I am more than happy, but are you sure? You are a flag officer in the National Defense Force, right?"
In other words, her rank in the military was the top of the top.
For her to help him on the farm, Isao felt weird, but if he could get Saeki's help, then he didn't mind.
"It's fine." Saeki smiled softly and said, "It isn't like the military will die if I am gone. More importantly, I can work anywhere." With that said, she knew that Isao had agreed for her to be here. Nevertheless, she wasn't in a hurry, and she could ask about her objection to coming here after Isao finished his work.
"By the way, Iinuma-kun, can I call you that?"
"Sure, can I call you Hiromi-san?"
"I don't mind." Saeki nodded calmly with a gentle smile, like a grandmother looking at her grandson.
Yup, according to the data she got, Isao could be her grandson since he should be in his early 20s.
With her age, it was normal to think of him as his grandson.
Frankly, she was a bit nervous, thinking that Isao might think that she was underestimating him, but it seemed that he was fine with it.
'Hmm...'
While she wanted to think that Isao might not have been loved by his parents, considering he was an orphan, she didn't want to jump to the conclusion that it was better to learn more by staying with him.
If possible, she thought of living with him for a longer time.
Frankly, for her, who was a Major General, this job shouldn't be given to her, and she would let her subordinates do this task, yet for Isao, whose physical prowess was enough to be compared to a nuclear bomb, this treatment was fair, and even less, considering how old she was and she felt that an attractive young lady should stay on his side.
As Saeki thought so, her thoughts stopped on a certain someone, but in the end, she stopped since she felt that she needed to observe him by herself as she was afraid that the other might mess up.
At the same time, she also didn't like the connection of that young lady with the Ten Master Clans, so she decided to refrain from calling that lady even if she was part of the military.
"By the way, I know that it might be sudden, but can you let Kazama go back to the Okinawa Base? That base can't live without him, after all, and he also needs to take care of the aftermath of the war."
"Okay." Isao nodded since he really didn't care much about Kazama.
"Thank you." Saeki thanked Isao, then looked at her subordinate. "Kazama, you can go back to Okinawa."
Yet, Kazama hesitated, considering how he knew Isao tasted. While Saeki might be old enough to be Isao's grandma, Saeki was still attractive, especially when she always took care of her body.
"Kazama?"
"Y-Yes, Maam!"
"What's your answer?"
"Yes!" Kazama gave a military salute and said, "I will go back now and continue my mission." Bowing his head, he left Isao's office; he decided to leave everything to Saeki since it wasn't like something would happen between them. More importantly, his position wasn't high enough to get involved in this matter, and in the wrong case, he might even be demoted, which was something that he didn't want, especially when his position had been low after he broke the command during the Great Indochina War.
So, whatever happens, then it will happen.
Anyway, Kazama knew that he couldn't do anything to Isao. Even if this country somehow possessed the nuclear bomb, Isao would kill all of them directly before they could use it.
As for the magicians?
Hahaha...
Kazama could only laugh, thinking that in front of Isao, they were as good as ants.
'Let's go back to Okinawa.'
As a soldier, what he had to do was just follow the order of the superior, and that's what he did. He left the dairy farm, ready to go back to Okinawa.
On the other hand, before Kazama left, Saeki noticed his strange eyes, but she decided to ignore them, thinking that it might be her illusion.
Nevertheless, as she decided to help him, she gave her everything, and she was even ready to give him an advance, but unexpectedly, he was better than she imagined, and so quickly, he stabilized all the dairy farms that he had acquired.
Was he going to monopolize the milk market?
Saeki might be a genius at data analysis, especially in battle, but it didn't mean she was omnipotent after all. Still, there was no doubt that even if Isao couldn't be the richest, she knew that he could live well in this country with all of his dairy farms, which gave him a stable income.
More importantly, Isao didn't appear to be an amateur, and it seemed he had done his research well in this area.
'Even though he's a doctor.'
Yes, in this world, while Isao was young, he made his identity as a graduate of a school of medicine at Tokyo University. For others, it might be difficult to do this, but for him, it was as easy as snapping his fingers.
Nevertheless, it surprised him that Saeki helped him without a complaint.
"Let's go back. It's already late."
"I thought you would work until midnight."
Considering the working habits of the people in this country, working till midnight appeared normal somehow, especially when Isao was the business owner, so he had to work harder, or else who would take care of his business?
His employees?
Hahaha...
As he laughed inwardly, thinking how naive those who wanted to do entrepreneurship were, Isao said, "If I am alone, I might be, but you are here after all."
"You don't have to worry about me. I am not young anymore, but I am not weak," Saeki said calmly.
"I know, but you are a guess. I can treat you like a slave worker, right?"
Saeki smiled and asked, "So, you are going home after this?"
"Yes." Isao nodded. "I just got a house here. What about you? Have you made a reservation at a nearby hotel, or do you plan to go back?"
"...sorry, I haven't made a reservation for a nearby hotel." Saeki sighed inwardly, then said, "But I don't plan to go back. Can you let me stay at your place? I can cook for you."
"..."
Isao blinked his eyes, then nodded.
Was this a honey trap?
If so, he would have to admit that "Silver Fox" was a formidable data analysis.
