Hearing the lies they spun made Hiro's head boil; he knew that getting angry here would be meaningless, so the trash swordsman stayed silent. Gil who half expected Hiro to attack him became slightly impressed.
'Well, would you look at that? A day ago, he would react to the slightest provocation now he thinks more before doing anything. The learning capabilities of this person are amazing.'
The black-haired lancer noticed that Hiro neither responded nor moved, so Gil then kicked his lance toward his hands from his foot. "Well, I didn't want to resort to violence, but you either come with me willingly or I will beat you to the ground and take you anyway."
- Warning: [Over the limit] ends in 10 seconds. Prepare for the rebound from stat deprivation. -
'Shit, If I don't find a way to make him retreat I will be in trouble.'
Hiro who decided to preemptively attack Gil let loose all his killing intent. Gil, who felt a real threat to his life, quickly felt the feral beast's vision placed on his throat.
'This blood thirst… wasn't this man a civilian when he came here? What the hell happened to him?'
Gil who was about to bring up his lance suddenly got stopped by an old man. The old man managed to bypass Gil's senses and appeared in front of him despite the hunter having an AGI of over three thousand. The man's bulging muscles grabbed the lance's tip and kept it pointed to the ground.
"Gilthunder, I saw everything, can I come along to serve as a witness, a Sub for the previous emperor should have some credibility, no?"
The third husband of Starfall recognized the old man quickly bowed his head and greeted the newcomer.
"Lord Alabarda! I am glad to see you well. Of course, my lord, anyone who doubts your words would meet my lance through their throats."
Hiro, who saw the fear and reverence Gilthunder showed to Krayto, marveled at how good the husband was at kissing ass. Seeing the hunter's demeanor, Hiro planned to make his move. The transmigrator intended to make good use of the situation as much as possible.
"Gilthunder, I will come with you willingly under one condition. The offenses of my women will be shouldered by me alone. I'm pretty sure Max is still alive anyway. If you do not agree to this, I will fight you to the death. Right here, right now."
When the old man arrived, he actually used his large frame to hide Hiro for a few seconds, he gave another vial of white liquid to Hiro to alleviate the symptom of stat deprivation. Thus, he could push himself harder now that he had more breathing room.
Raylene, Vanessa, and Jade were about to say something, but Hiro simply smiled at them with a face that was so full of love that it looked stupid. The women who were normally scorned and ridiculed were caught off guard by the warm gaze and froze in place.
As Krayto said nothing, it meant he agreed with the conditions set forward by Hiro. Therefore, if Gil refused it would be directly slapping the face of Lord Alabarda. Cursing inside Gil could only nod his head and agree.
"Certainly, with my status as Husband of Starfall, I clear the three behind you and any charges for assaulting a Spouse rank of our battle harem. All penalties shall be shouldered by their lover Hiroyuki Mitsurugi."
After the declaration, Hiro quickly walked toward his supposed lovers and embraced them in an affectionate hug. "Wait for me at the house I slept in earlier. I will return to you all. After all, we have much to talk about. Get some rest, okay?"
Raylene wanted to scream "WHO IS YOUR LOVER!" But the blacksmith striker was repeatedly disarmed by the embraces and affection overflowing from Hiro.
Vanessa who beamed in happiness at Hiro's words on the other hand returned her man's embrace tightly and kept silent.
Jade hardly moved but Hiro noticed that like a rabbit, she froze up at his slightest touch. Thus, after giving her a slight hug, he patted her head a bit and left.
Hiro then returned to Gil, who was still chatting with Krayto. "Ojisan let's go! I want to go home quickly."
Gilthunder who heard their casual words of Hiro was about to rebuke him, only to be dumbfounded when Krayto Alabarda answered with a colorful statement. "You are getting annoying boy, wipe off that stupid-looking lovestruck face. It is enough to make me hurl."
Hiro then slapped Krayto on the shoulders as he answered, "O come on, you knew this was coming, so you have no right to complain. Isn't it better I am like this than the alternative? This way you can guarantee I will take care of your adopted daughters."
"Just know like a real dad, I will break your spine in half if you make even one of them cry." Cautioned Krayto.
Hiro then made a sloppy salute as he laughed and pretended to agree with Alabarda's words.
"Roger that otousan, I will forever treasure your angels and will dedicate my life to making them happy."
Gilthunder, couldn't believe what he just heard and thought. 'They are that close where they act like family? How in the world did Hiro get into Lord Alabarda's good graces?! Who the hell calls the halberd that cleaves kingdoms ojisan or otousan?'
The transmigrator on the other hand wore nothing but smiles even while being called by authorities. Hiro who longed to have a family felt happiness at the mere thought that there were now people waiting for his return.
While the three had not given him their affirmation of his affections, He intended to earn it no matter what it took. When he saw the loyalty and bravery of his women. A vow entered his heart, they will belong to him, there was no alternative.
'I fell in love not because you three were beautiful, but you are beautiful because I fell in love with you. The whole world may see you as less than perfect. But in my eyes, there can be no one else. Wait for me Raylene, Vanessa, Jade, I will find a way to heal you of your afflictions and give you happiness.
'It is extreme bliss to plan your future with others. If meeting the three of you was the reward for going through everything up to this point. I will do it again in a heartbeat. I will learn more about each of you and am sure I will only love you more.
'To never allow something like what happened earlier to repeat. I will get stronger, stronger than anyone else. It may take days, months, or years but I will not stop moving forward. Even more so now that I have something to protect. '
Eventually, Hiro was brought before Rhyne who told him the gist of the case in a few words. "I care not what you do or do not do from this point forward. I will drop all charges against you and your women in exchange for one task.
A month from now you will go with my husbands to a town in the north where you will slay the manticore there."
"...…. HAAAA?"
Rhyne then added. "I forgot to add, Complete the task and all charges against you and your freaks will be cleared. Fail and I will have the heads of your beloved pets mounted on pikes, Do I make myself clear?"
"This bitch…."
