New law of Beast Taming-Chapter 412 - 413: Wake up call [pt2]
Moony’s voice was clear and soft. But it held a commanding tone in it that left no room for questioning.
Even if the maids wanted to question who she was and what she was doing there, they could not win against her commanding voice. They quickly did as they were told and brought the phone to Moony.
Moony looked at the phone with a questioning look. She knew how to operate the phone but needed to gain practical experience.
She knew that she needed to press the screen to make a call. She had seen Yoko do this a lot of times. But this was Moony’s first time trying the phone out. She could not figure out what she needed to press.
There were too many options, and they all looked identical to Moony. Besides that, she did not know how to read and write. So, even if she could see the icons, she could not make a call.
"Excuse me, but can I help you out with anything? If you do not know how to use a phone, tell us what you want, and we will make it happen."
Finally, the servants took pity on Moony and decided to help her out. The maid in charge of the section had also arrived and quickly took control.
She did not know who this intruder was. But if she was here, the maids needed to treat her like a guest.
Unnerving serpentine eyes looked at maids with curiosity. Moony did not know how much she could trust these maids. But she trusted them this time and handed the phone to the maids.

"Call Yoko for me. I need to talk to her about something important."
That was a big action to take for the maid. As a servant, she had never dared to call her employee and have a talk with her. That would be a breach of trust and cause unnecessary panic.
But this time, the maid had no choice but to call Yoko Tsurugi. She was sure this guest would calm down when she talked with Yoko.
The phone call was made, and it rang twice before Yoko Tsurugi picked it up.
"Hello, who is calling? You better tell me, or I will hang up on you."
That was a warning, and the maid took in a deep breath before she had to explain herself. But she did not even get to do that before the phone was snatched and taken away.
"Hello, Yoko! Where are you? I am fully awake now, and I did it. I got through my metamorphosis. When are you coming home?"
The unknown guest sounded smug when she told all this to Yoko. The joy in the guests’ voices took the maids aback.
"Huh! Is that you, Moony? Did you finally finish your transformation? You sound tired, so should you not be resting?"
Yoko asked, causing Moony to grin. The joy was contagious, and the other maids smiled in return as well.
"I have fully recovered, so I am sure I do not need to sleep anymore. I want you to come home. So, when will you be home?"
Moony asked with an excited voice. She could not wait to touch Yoko with her human hands. She was sure that it would feel good.
But all her excitement dashed down as soon as she heard Yoko’s following words. They were expected, but Moony still felt awkward hearing them.
"I am sorry, Moony. But something urgent came up. I will not be back home for some time. You can be a good girl and wait for me, right?"
Yoko asked, and Moony felt herself pout. She should have been too old to make these expressions, but she could not help herself. She was disappointed in Yoko and her reaction.
"No! I will not stay back and wait for you. If you cannot come to me, then I will come to you. Tell me where you are, and I will head toward you."
Moony just wanted to keep Yoko company. It did not matter where and how it happened. Her instincts were telling her that she needed to be with Yoko.
"Hmm, that will be a little difficult. I am far away, and it will take you a little time to come here. You can wait at home and-"
"No, I don’t want to wait at home. You always push me away like this, and I understood it the past few times. But this time, I want to help. No, I know I can help. So please, let me help you out."
Moony sounded desperate. Amane had never heard her say things like this. And this made her feel guilty. She did not know what she should do.
She wanted to fulfil Moony’s wish. But she could not allow Moony to roam the human world alone.
"Fine, you can come and find me. But you will need to find someone to take you to me. You will not be able to make your way here on your own. I will call a driver for you."
Amane promised Moony, and that was it. It had been decided that Moony would come and find her.
It just so happened that Crescenta passed through the corridor. She wanted to go to the other side but stopped when she saw Moony.
For some reason, she could not help but feel familiar when she looked at Moony.
"Hey, who are you, and what are you doing here? Are you an intruder? What are you all doing? Hurry up and throw her out. We don’t even know who she is…"
Crescenta complained as she looked around the maids for support. She could not understand why no one was doing anything.
Finally, a maid decided to clear the misunderstanding.
"Lady Crescenta, this is Miss Yoko’s guest. It would serve you well to be polite to her."
Crescenta bit her lip in agitation at being told what to do. She was annoyed to see the servants telling her what she could or could not do.
But Crescenta also knew that she needed to maintain her calm. Her grandfather was no longer an elder, and she no longer had any standing in the Tsurugi family. She was not even an employer of these people.
These maids no longer had a reason to be polite to her.
"I…am being polite to her. There is no need for you to tell me all these words."
Crescenta gritted her teeth as she spoke. It was hard for her to hold her temper back, but she was trying.
The phone call was on all this time, so Amane heard all of this. And she immediately had a plan to use Crescenta for her gains.
"Moony, can you hand the phone to Crescenta? I have something to say to her."
Yoko’s words snapped everyone’s attention. Moony looked reluctant to hand the phone over. But since Yoko had asked her to, she handed the phone over to Crescenta.
Crescenta looked confused and suspicious as she looked at the phone. She had a feeling that Yoko was up to no good.
But she had no proof, so she could not refuse the phone when it was handed to her.
"Hello. Yoko, what do you want from me?"
Crescenta asked with a suspicious voice. She felt that she would be saddled with unavoidable work by Yoko.
"Crescenta, I want you to accompany Moony and bring her to the senate house. I need to head there for some urgent work, so I will not be able to make it home. You are the only one I can ask such a favour from."
Yoko sounded certain, and Crescenta was sad that she had turned the loud-speaker off. She wanted these rude maids to hear what Yoko had said to her.
"You want me to bring her to you? Sure, I can do that. How soon do you want me to bring her to you?"
Crescenta had a lot of options. But if it were an emergency, she would have to call Kiana’s support. Kiana’s drake was faster than any transport and would bring them to the senate in a flash.
Alternatively, Crescenta could take a slow car and take a lot of time to reach the Senate House.
"Hmm, take your time. You can bring anyone you want, and I will pay all the expenses. So, enjoy your day out."
Someone, Yoko, knew what Crescenta wanted to do. And that made Crescenta feel exposed. But she did not care at the same time.
It was a good way for Crescenta to get some shopping done and get a date with Kiana. They both could enjoy themselves even with a third wheel in between.
"Hand the phone back to Moony. I will talk to her so she does not disturb you during your day."
Crescenta handed the phone back to Moony. The taller girl took the phone with a suspicious look on her face. It was clear that she did not trust Crescenta’s actions.
"Moony, Crescenta will bring you to me. I asked her to run a few errands for me, so be a good girl and accompany her back to my place. I will see you in a few hours from now."
Amane assured Moony and cut the call off. A few hours felt like such a long time, but Moony knew they would pass in a heartbeat.
"Let’s go. First, we need to get you ready to head out. And then, I will show you the greatest pleasure in a woman’s life- shopping. You will never forget this experience."
