Chapter 197 The Strongest Battle Harem Is Born 3
After a long day of explaining, night fell once more with Hiro and his girls catching up on their stories. Well, Hiro could not get to listen to what happened to the girls as they were too busy grilling him for details.
"And just how big were her breasts then, the one he rubbed all over you?"
"101 cm J-cup"
"…"
"And how many paramours were in your tent at this auction."
"Three."
"Where any of them pretty?"
"No."
"Were they scantily dressed?"
"Yes."
"Did you ogle them?"
"No."
"Hai, let\'s stop this girls. Darling is here and Tsugumi said she beheaded Gadhala anyway."
At Raylene\'s explanations, the girls stewed unhappily. If earlier they were extremely amorous and seductive, now the three sat away from Hiro. With the man looking like an abandoned puppy.
\'This is bullshit, what did I even do wrong at this point? I didn\'t even touch any of them.\'
Hiro then proceeded to recount his experiences with Alter Hiro, Patches, and Rilu. He showed them his mission screen. And shared all he knew about the regalia.
With each mystery more questions surface, and the girls grew more anxious as the tales of Hiro continued. All they wanted was for him to come home safely. But even if they loved him the Hiro was insane.
The women grew cautious as they felt like someone intentionally wanted their husbands to fail. Jade remarked in wonder at what she heard.
"Amazing. So many mysteries. Husband is at the center!"
Vanessa then changed the topic to a more productive one. "Hiro-sama. Why do you have a battle harem?"
"Excuse me?" Hiro, confused. Didn\'t even understand the question.
Raylene who saw his reaction believed the problem is much simpler. "Nessa, I think he doesn\'t know."
"Whose line then?" inquired Jei.
"Anyone mind filling me in? I have no idea what is going on."
Vanessa came closer to her man as she explained. "Hiro-Sama you are aware in general how battle harems work right?"
"Yeah you pass stats to subs and they give the dom dowries you grow together as the harem develops."
Raylene also adjusted her seat to come closer as she continued the discussion. "Correct darling, this style of the passing of power is basically a chain. The first one of the chain naturally gets the fruits of the efforts of everyone under his or her line."
Hiro who didn\'t understand the problem nodded his head and agreed. "Yes, so what is the problem, or more like how does one become a head then?"
Jade the last one to adjust her seat already placed her frame on Hiro\'s lap like a cat. She then answered as Hiro began massaging her head. "You don\'t husband."
"Eh?"
"Husband, it is not possible. Only seven heads. All saviors. Fairy only has one. All current harems are part of seven chains."
"What?"
"Hiro-sama this is a big deal. As the first head of the chain, your benefits will be leagues ahead of those who grant others among the seven. You have no stat dowry to pay."
"…"
"Darling, the line of power dilutes the further it is from the head. The first ones in heaven\'s sword would be the strongest and most powerful of your allies. You must choose them carefully. Tsugumi and the San-Baka are a good choice."
"Need to compute. Dom link finite. Maybe 10%? For all four?"
"Indeed Darling can save the 60% for future subordinates."
"Agreed. My love you need to weigh your options on the people you trust the most, and those who would have your back in battle."
Hiro then started to fiddle with his status window and his wives got alert messages.
- Alert: You are about to enter the Heavenly Sword battle harem under Hiroto Musashi as a Gladius Empress rank Submissive. –
- Do you accept? YES | NO -
All three of them froze in their tracks. An Empress rank was practically unheard of due to being hunted for their links.
Each required a domination link of at least 30% thus if all three of them accepted. Hiro would only have 10% remaining.
"DARLING! This is no joking matter! Retract this at once!"
All three wives clicked no, but Hiro again sent the requests.
"HUSBAND! STOP BEING STUPID! WHAT CAN WE DO?"
"I AGREE HIRO-SAMA! LOOK AT US! HOW CAN WE EVEN HELP YOU?! THIS IS BEYOND INSULTING!"
"Darling, please understand if everything you told us is true. You need all the power you can get. Wasting your domination link on people like us will severely weaken you!"
"IS THIS A JOKE? HIRO-SAMA? DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY WE WANT TO GO FIGHT BY YOUR SIDE?! BUT WE CAN\'T! THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE!"
"Husband. We are weak. We are not like you. We are useless."
Seeing that his women were starting to lose it, Hiro quickly approached them and kissed them one by one. He didn\'t stop devouring their lips until they stopped resisting.
After a few moments, all three had rosy cheeks and were panting.
"Have you all calmed down now?"
Knowing they might have overreacted they didn\'t talk and simply nodded their heads. With a domineering presence, Hiro approached his girls and embraced them.
"Please never call yourselves useless, and "like us". You three are the women I love with all my heart. I came back to this world only to ensure you three are safe. To me, my domination links exist only for you. I am going to fight this entire apocalypse only for you. Please do not push me away."
At his heartfelt entreaties, the girls grew emotional. Just how much would this man give up for them? What did they deserve to be loved by him so? Hiro then continued to speak after giving them some time to digest.
"Leonida Reisen Dominii, wished for the battle harem system to strengthen his wives. I am the same. I am the head of the chain." He then took their hands and help them to his heart.
"Through me. I will ensure you three become the strongest women on the continent. I need you. Please fight with me. I know if you girls are by my side I can withstand everything that is to come."
Raylene, who was faltering tried to reason one last time. "Darling, I love you but We cannot suddenly become normal darling no matter how much we wish for it."
She then yanked her hand away and lamented. "We are disabled darling. I am cursed with Blightsoul. Jade is cursed with a time spell and has 90% o her body burned. Vanessa has lost both arms and her Calibers are in disarray. Even if we join you we will only hinder you."
Hiro then stepped away from them and pulled out a bone-long sword from his inventory. He then placed it on his elbow and slashed his entire forearm off.
"DARLING!" "HIRO-SAMA!" "HUSBAND!"
As the blood fell to the ground along with the forearm, his wives stared in disbelief. The bloody stump in his hand started to heal at an exaggerated rate and mended bone, regrew flesh, and reformed blood until it healed into a brand new arm.
"My girls, I need you. I cannot do this without you. Please come with me."
He then kneeled to them as he begged. "This is what it means to stay by my side. I will bring you nothing but hardship. But I cannot fight on if you three are not beside me. Please do not leave me. Please become my empresses."
