Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

A handsome knight with white hair in a ponytail stepped forward, dressed in full-bodied armor Artorius placed his hand on the warlord's shoulder as he provided counsel. When the tyrannical red-haired transmigrator heard Rhyne's name he forcefully deactivated [In my majesty] removing the burden on everybody present.

"Yeah, I guess so. Let's go, I don't want to make her angry." The warlord then turned back and spoke in a low voice to Hiroyuki.

"Don't die trash, I still need to get my vengeance on you. I will come back in a month, wash your necks then."

Maximilian then walked out of the guild ignoring everyone else, Artorius who stayed behind looked at Hiro without saying anything and then followed suit.

'Did Artorius just help me?'

Not having time to answer, Hiro then had his face slapped. The assailant was a short mage in a pink hood. The bandages on her face seemed damp the discoloration was visible.

"HUSBAND! IDIOT! WE MEAN NOTHING! GO DIE! I HATE YOU!" she screamed.

Jade then quickly ran out of the guild in haste. Hiro who was dumbfounded looked at his other girls in confusion. This was the first time Hiro heard the mage shouting. Raylene then shrugged indicating she didn't know either.

"Go after her darling. I will handle the reward and return with Nessa."

"But..HMHPH…" Hiro was about to continue talking when a vial of golden liquid was suddenly inserted into his mouth.

"Hiro-sama, you seem to still be suffering from the side effects of Caliber disease. Jade may have picked up on your thoughts. When you looked at us earlier, it seemed like you no longer knew us. It scared me a little. I will accompany Lene, go after her.'

Unable to say anything else, the transmigrator nodded as he chased after the mummy mage. After he left Raylene and Vanessa stood up, and the blacksmith striker commented in a dispirited voice. "It's getting worse."

"I know, but what can we do? If we didn't step in earlier, he would have used overdrive again. When Hiro-sama returns from his hunt, we must discuss if leaving the city is an option."

Agreeing with her words, Raylene said nothing and went to the guild counter, Vanessa then looked around and saw the goblin survivors. They were all now talking with other groups in an amicable manner, they used their bodies and charm to seduce the other adventurers around.

"I guess, no one wants to associate with a marked enemy of Starfall, everyone is just trying to keep their head down and weather out the storm. People like Hiro-sama are a minority. Most would close their eyes to injustice if it does not affect them."

—————

Hiroyuki ran along the streets of Valorious at full speed, he tried to search for Jade but due to the number of people and her stature, it was very easy to miss her.

"This is going nowhere! [Tracking]! Target Jade!"

- Alert: [Tracking] [D] Lvl 7 has been Activated! Target: Jade, please prepare for calibrated sensory input. -

When Hiro activated his secondary skill, his hearing suddenly focus on a light pair of footsteps. The hustle and bustle of the surrounding area died down. His woman's gasps as she trudged along rang out in his ears. His vision suddenly changed and now showed footprints made by his mummy mage in blue.

Guided by both where she was headed and her distance from him, the transmigrator followed her path. Soon, he heard Jade collapse from exhaustion. Unlike her words which sounded robotic, her gasps and breaths were made by her mouth.

He eventually found her sprawled on the ground and picked her up in a princess carry. The mage who felt his arms relaxed and leaned her head into his chest. Murmurs came from her as Hiro looked for a place to sit.

"Tracking skill. Disgusting cheat. Husband. Should leave. Baka."

The man found a crate that served perfectly as a chair and sat on it. He then placed Jade on his lap and he embraced her in his arms.

"Jei, you know I would find you even without it, right? I will look for any of you if you run away from me. Always. Whatever it is I did, I'm sorry but if you don't let me know I won't know how to change it."

The loli mummy then snuggled her face closer to his chest like a cat looking for warmth in a cold winter. Hearing her husband's heartbeat calmed her down greatly. Jade then whispered into his ears in a sad voice.

"Husband. Sorry. Don't hate you. Don't throw me away. I'll be good. I'll be useful."

The transmigrator's heart felt heavy, he knew his girls all had abandonment issues but hearing it firsthand was heartbreaking. He then embraced the mage tighter as he answered.

"I would never abandon you Jei. Even if you become useless, your place is by my side. Couples fight all the time, it's normal. But I want to do my best for you, so you need to tell me why you got angry."

Hearing his assuring words the mage paused before talking again. She grasped his shirt like it was her lifeline. Her robotic voice trembled with each word she said.

"I saw. You wanted to die. It hurt. So much. we love you. Yet wish to die. Became different. Cold. Inhumane. Like corpse. Heart hurts. Like pierced by broken glass. More than that time. Husband. I am scared. Why? We don't matter? You hate us? Love us no more? Please. Answer."

Hiro who heard her concerns grew frantic. He couldn't help but blurt out loud. "I wanted to die? When?"

His own voice then echoed in his mind. It felt like it belonged to someone else. Like listening to yourself drunk dialing your ex.

('My girls all tried so hard to calm me down but seeing them suffering like this… Why does that concern me again? Ah right, I love them. They love me and I must protect them. But I think I like slashing this bastard to bits better, then I'll put him back together and do it again. Yeah, that would make me happier. Who cares about tomorrow, we are all going to die someday. I should make sure this bastard dies before me. If I can die killing this motherfucker I can be content.')

Hiro's body then grew hot from anger at what he heard. 'What the fuck?! I forgot about my harem?! Who the hell is this bastard? What do you mean we are all going to die someday? How is Maximilian more important than the girls you fucker! I specifically said my life is theirs you delusional piece of shit!'
