Chapter 191 Reunion Beyond Lifetimes 4

Dumbfounded by the kind words she heard, Xing who only understood the request after a few second quickly shook her head as she tried to change Hiro's mind.

"My Lord, there is no need! As the owner of Arcus Kiss, you may stay as long as you wish. Please use our facilities to your content. I will have the Ladies given a room for them to rest. As for the security, please give me some time. Lady Tsugumi told me our defenses are no longer present."

"Then I will take you up on your offer. When my wives are ready we will leave immediately. For defenses, there is no need for any. I am here."

Despite being incredibly arrogant, Xing couldn't help but feel reassured at Hiro's reply. If such monsters guarded her brothel who in their right mind would cause trouble?

Having so many questions Xing decided to get Allan to tell him everything later. But from initial impressions, she could understand her beloved's decision to follow this man.

Hiro then walked past Xing towards his women. Eventually, he stopped in front of them and waited. But all three women said nothing and simply stared at him. After about two minutes of no one saying anything the butcher then asked Xing to let them rest.

"Madame Xing, give my wives a room to let them rest. One will be enough, they do not like being in large rooms alone. San-Baka please escort them and attend to their needs. If anyone tries to bother my wives. Kill them immediately."

The three handsome men attending to the maids, all kneeled to the ground and saluted. "By your command!" Hiro then walked towards the gardens in a forlorn manner. Tsugumi who felt something was wrong followed him, but not before she reminded Alan of something.

"Mr. Srayver, please do not forget to bring my niece here as soon as possible I will serve as your escort. We shall leave when I return." The Mitsurugi sister then looked at the owner of Arcus Kiss and also gave her instructions.

"Madame Xing, my Nii-sama is psychotically overprotective of my sisters-in-law. Please close the brothel for the duration he Is here. And have the guards all stand around the gardens. The San-Baka and I will handle the building's security.

"Tell all the maids inside to not attempt seducing my Nii-sama, not if they wish to have their heads still attached to their necks. Nii-sama does not even consider women outside the family as females. warn them or he might behead them on the spot."

Xing who heard the warning, bowed her head in reverence as she expressed gratitude.

"Thank you for the warnings Lady Tsugumi, I will follow your instructions to the letter." The woman then approached the San-Baka and asked them to follow her. "Gentlemen please follow me, I will lead you to the room the ladies will dwell in for the duration of their stay."

The San-Baka assisted the maids who were still confused about everything and brought them to the best room in the high-end lodging. After ensuring they had everything they needed. The San-Baka started to inspect the defenses of the establishment.

Aurum stood in front of the door like a bouncer while Lars inspected every room inside the brothel. Geo surveyed the defenses as Madame Xing guided her.

Hiro went to the gardens and quietly sat on the grass. As the wind blew against his body he allowed it to cool his face which grew hot from tension, anger, and excitement. Right now the man's heart threatened to rip itself out of his rib cage.

Tsugumi, after a few minutes of searching, found her brother and sat quietly beside him on the ground. She didn't bother to say anything and just waited.

"I saw it every few hours."

The woman beside Hiro didn't bother replying and just listened. To most people, just listening to their stories, fears, or complaints gave them what they needed. The need to provide wise counsel is needed only for those that ask for it.

"I saw our reunion more than a thousand times in my head. Each iteration was a little different…. There were so many good ones I didn't know what I actually wanted. But you know what I feared the most?"

Tsugumi stayed silent as she leaned on her brother, at times like this the warmth of another being does wonders to those who needed to calm down. Unable to wait for her reply Hiro continued.

"I…I feared they would no longer recognize me… that what I become is something they could not accept… I don't intend to blame them as made the choice myself, but what do I do if they no longer wish to be with me Tsugu?"

The sister of the Mitsurugi then fixed her posture and embraced her brother in a hug full of affection. "Nii-sama, you love them, so much so even death couldn't stop you. No matter what happens so long as you remain truthful they will understand that. Even in a different body, a different mind, a different soul. You are the one they loved all this time. Believe in them and wait."

Hiro then grabbed hold of Tsugumi's arms like a lifeline and cried silently. Every single second, his wives never left his thoughts. He wondered what they did, if they were safe, if they were hungry, if they missed him. The man who looked fearless beyond measure also harbored his own demons.

And similar to the San-Baka and Tsugumi, until he faced them he would never be able to move forward. When his heart settled down, he let go of Tsugumi and said words of gratitude. "Thanks, Tsugu. I think I will try again."

Tsugumi then made a blooming smile as she brushed her now white hair. "Nii-sama, if they are anything like the stories you told me. My Onee-samas are way tougher than you give them credit for."

Brother and sister then stood up as they both fixed their clothes, Tsugumi continued. "They are neither flowers to be protected nor treasure to be hidden. They are maidens who fear no enemy nor back down against any challenge. Believe in them as I know they have believed in you."

Tsugumi then gave a swift peck on Hiro's cheek as she said her farewells. "Be strong brother. Anyone who can challenge a walking mountain to a fistfight should be not so weak-hearted. I will go and get my niece from Alan. I want you and my Onee-samas to be on good terms before I get back, otherwise, I will kick your ass, capiche?"

Unable to retort, Hiro nodded and watched his beloved sister go out with Alan as his escort. The reincarnator then moved towards the residence to try and meet his beloved wives.

As he walked inside, he ran into Geo and Madame Xing who looked to be inspecting something. Geo quickly saluted and gave a high-level overview of the building's current situation.

"Master, I have confirmed with [Reverie Beyond Hope] that they are not only traps but alarms and listening devices scattered all around the brothel. I have destroyed the arrays, and have sealed the ones that run on power sources. Madame Xing said she had no idea when or how any of them were planted here."

The woman beside the Redhead then explained after she did her greetings. "Master, the only conflict I monitor is the battle between the crown prince and princess. As you know, I hide the female members of his highnesses sub harems as courtesans. But as for these devices along with combat puppets, I am completely in the dark."
