Chapter 430: Heroine Chapter: The final victor. [1/2]
Chapter POV: Aki Miroku
___
In the penthouse suite of Shujin's hotel room, the Sirens and I were all trying on different cocktail dresses. Of course, we kicked out the only man who owned the room.
"Jas! Jas! Look at this one! It makes my boobs look bigger! Darling will love this!"
"Jo! Stop jumping all over the place, you will tear the dress."
Of course, since there were only us women here, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Aki, are you sure Possum will like this? Isn't it kind of light?" Robyn worried.
"I'm sure Robyn. Shujin loves the natural look. Your face and nose are wonderful. Instead of using makeup to contour your face, it would be better to enchant your eyes."
A woman's face and body remained her greatest weapons. Just as men enhanced themselves with status and wealth, women did the same with their attractiveness and beauty.
Because of my life as an assassin and spy, I had to learn how to psychologically manipulate my targets. And no matter what anyone said, helpless women were the most effective mask in this department.
Even the most cold-blooded killer could not resist the instinct to procreate. A wink, a smile, a gentle caress. These were the cards a woman was dealt. Of course, using one's purity was also an option, but fortunately I didn't have to go that far.
After all, for me, acting helpless was just that. An act. Once I got close, my knowledge of torture, poisons, and psychology would take over.

I would drug the kind, brutally torture the resilient, and for those who would not break, I would find and use the person they loved most.
Since the success of my missions depended heavily on knowing which approach would work, I naturally learned how to read people. Normally, one would learn one's preferences from the people around them.
Shujin's tastes came from Noelle-sama and Caroline. This was reinforced by the types of characters he liked and masturbated with.
"You've noticed how differently he reacts to my advances, right? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Robyn suddenly blushed as she covered her face. Perplexed, I asked curiously.
"Robyn? Are you all right?"
"I-it's nothing! N-nothing at all!"
Adorably, the child in front of me tried to feign ignorance. Maybe she didn't know that everyone here saw Shujin teasing her. To be honest, our man's overbearingness made me a little hot.
"Is it related to being eaten?" I teased.
"!!!"
I started to laugh, and surprisingly, so did everyone else. As the whole room giggled like children, Robyn looked at us all in frustration.
"Fuck me dead! Did you all hear that?!"
I nodded wordlessly as I smiled.
"Stop being stupid, you brat. Practically everyone here is obsessed with that man. Do you think you could mingle with Honey without anyone noticing?"
Bella stepped forward in a daring dress that accentuated her large breasts. Even though everyone except Robyn was above average in that department, height obviously made a difference.
While Liv had the largest at 38F, considering she stood at 198cm or over 6 feet, the proportions were still acceptable. But to those of smaller stature like Bella and me, the Brazilian proportions were outrageous.
I was a 32C, so I was already having trouble getting underwear. Bella on the other hand was a 32DD! A full two cups larger. Her breasts were practically spilling out of her clothes!
It was a good thing she was acting like a tomboy, otherwise I would not be able to win!
I finished Robyn's makeup and started working on my own. It was a great relief when Jas created the {Program} [Reflection]. Otherwise getting ready would have been an extremely tedious undertaking.
"Hmph! I don't care anyway! If Darling wants to eat, I will make sure that I alone am enough!"
Jo, on the other hand, had long legs and a large bosom. Her proportions would put most models to shame. Luckily, she had a flat behind.
"Does it matter? Didn't you see him controlling {Day by Day}? He wants to use those avatars on our honeymoon," another voice added.
Lilly-sama came out in only her panties while she had an exfoliating mask on her face. Her near impeccable boobs were on display for all to see. Even her nipples were a healthy pink.
Taller than the Europeans, unlike Jo, Lilly-sama also had a shapely ass. The perfect package, so to speak. It was only her perverted tendencies that balanced out her assets.
"So, who gets the real body?" Robyn asked innocently.
At her words, the tension in the air became heavy. As expected from lunatics. Not that I could blame them. When I was done with my base makeup, I started to fix my own outfit along with my secret weapon. A pair of lace stockings tailored to Shujin's liking.
"Everyone don't bother with such unnecessary worries. What does it matter? We get to spend our first night with the man we love. That fact alone is something many women long for, but cannot have," Liv mediated.
I actually agreed with Liv's words.
"Tsk. Even {Imaging} can't tell the difference. Husband is too cunning."
"I don't want to hear that from you! Ass monster! EI!" Bella rebuked.
Along with a slap, Jasmine's toned buttocks wiggled seductively. How could an archer have such a tight and firm ass? Was it due to genetics? It was unfair! I did lunges practically every day and my butt was still flatter than hers!
As the other Sirens began to joke around, my mind began to analyze the current situation on the battlefield.
The only thing I was superior in was my thighs. It was a good thing that Shujin had a fetish for Qipaos. Qipaos, also known as Cheongsams, were mandarin gowns that hugged the body tightly and had high slits for the legs.
Due to the conservative nature of the Chinese, this dress accentuated a woman's legs while keeping them just out of sight. Although I am Japanese, I planned to use qipaos to attract my man's attention.
As the only Asian among the Sirens, instead of competing in cocktail dresses, I would emphasize my Eastern features. I could wear a kimono, but it was too tame. I would alter my qipao to also show a glimpse of my cleavage.
As with any battle, the right weapon and equipment were needed. Of course, every Siren considered such matters with great care.
After all, though the Seeker war was over, the Siren war for Shujin's affection had only just begun.
It was funny. To the outside world, we appeared to be a cohesive unit. But everyone here knew that there could only be one true kindred. We were like hunters waiting for the right time to strike.
'Shujin may tamper with his status, but only one person's {Fate} will be tied to Shujin's soul. That would be the ultimate mark of whoever owns him.'
Bella always knew what every Siren was doing. Her children and her network made it almost impossible to escape the Brazilian's oversight. Every machine or device was her eyes and ears.
Similarly, Jas was practically always watching everyone. I didn't know which was worse. While obstacles could hide you from Bella, nothing could hide from Jas. They were both disturbing and quite irritating.
Jo, on the other hand, was literally eavesdropping on everyone all the time. If the degraded version of {Listen} was already superhuman, what about the original? Was that why she was crazy?
Lilly-sama always pretended to be kind, but for me, her {Fate} was the most dangerous. She could send me to another continent, outer space, or the bottom of the ocean if she wanted to. And I would be helpless to do anything.
Robyn, who was the easiest to manipulate before, gained {Limitless} and Exa. Slowly but surely, she was getting smarter. But this conniving brat acted dumber than she really was. All to catch people off guard.
