Chapter 192 Reunion Beyond Lifetimes 5

Hiro said nothing and waved his hand, both Geo and Xing knew the man could be careless about anything else. Like a monarch, he strode onto the stairs and made his way up.

Xing couldn't help but comment at the unease she detected in the butcher's movements. "Sir Fulgeo, why is the master so terrified if he is meeting his beloved wives? Did something happen?"

"Madam Xing, I would advise you not to pry into matters that do not involve your duties. While the master can be considered kind. Anything related to his beloved women should be likened to reverse scales."

Surprised at the clear rebuke from the barely twenty teenager, Xing held her tongue and stayed silent. Even though she was way older, only power granted any status. As she observed how the members of her husband's coworkers behaved all she could think was.

'They are all incredibly powerful. Given enough time if more such people arrive this faction would be even able to contend with entire kingdoms.'

Meanwhile, Hiro walked up the stairs till he reached the top floor where his women were housed. Lars and Aurum who felt his caliber signature took their leave and guarded the building in a more clandestine manner.

When the butcher finally arrived at the door, he knocked and waited. After a few moments, the door opened and one of the maids held it ajar. Hiro tried to be on his best manners and walked inside.

He sat on the couch and analyzed the room's other occupants. Hiro noticed the women were on the other end of the room. The man knew that unless he confronted his fears Hiroyuki Mitsurugi would be forever bound by them.

After a few minutes of silence, he managed to croak out with much difficulty. "Tadaima, Nessa, Jei, Lene. I am sorry it took so long. How are you? Are you three doing well?"

A good minute passed before one of the maids finally managed to answer with a trembling voice. "…are you really Hiro-sama?"

When Hiro tried to come closer, the three visibly tried to step back. Knowing that forcing them would not be a good idea, he stayed put and answered. "Yes, my current name is Hiroto Musashi, but I was once Hiroyuki Mitsurugi a transmigrator that died."

Another maid, one flat as a board questioned him while her eyes burned in fury. "What proof do you have? How do we know you are the real thing? Who sent you?! That bitch? We have been approached by multiple people claiming to be darling. Each time…"

At this point, tears started to flow down her eyes; Even though she wore a mask the melancholy in them could not be hidden. "Each..time, we held out hope… But they were merely fakes who wished to use us as pieces in the battle between Starfall and Gae-bolg! They all feed us lies, the ones we wanted to hear all just so they could use us!"

Hiro's heart broke. The problem with having enemies lies in what happens to the people you leave behind when you die. Clearly, their situation got more chaotic as more and more people found out that the royal battle harems were fighting for his women.

The rage and frustration at his helplessness caused the area around the Arcus Kiss to quake. The air became heavy like the calm before a storm. Inside the room, the area where the maids sat suffered no damage while everywhere else the ground shook like an earthquake.

————————

"SIR GEO! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! ARE WE UNDER ATTACK?!" Madame Xing who was still inspecting the defenses called out to Geo. The man ignored the tremors and continued to walk unafraid.

"Ah, this? This is master just throwing a tantrum. When he lets his emotions get the better of him he creates tremors or hurricanes out of anger."

'This is a tantrum? Then what is going to happen if he gets angry then?!!' The woman chased after Geo as he may be the only one to save her if something does happen.

The guards outside similarly felt the earthquakes and tried to entire the brothel only to be stopped at the door by Aurum and Lars. Despite the guard's insistence, the pair shut the building down.

When they tried to brute force their way in, the San-Baka broke their bones so badly that none of them could even try to stand. As far as surveillance was concerned Arcus kiss suddenly became a dark zone from not only the country but from even foreign empires' points of view.

Back to the Wolfen butcher, he calmed himself down and internally vowed to murder every single one of the people who tricked his women. He then tried to answer them as best he could.

"I don't know how to verify that I am myself other than with the details of our lives, can I confirm myself if I answer those?"

Suddenly the smallest maid asked in a fluster. "Your first kiss?"

While the answers varied, the Mitsurugi harem always got heated when discussing this topic. Smiling, Hiro then answered with his textbook explanation after much hardship. The response made no sense but anyone but his household.

"No one, I took all of your first kisses. No one took mine."

All three women stood up in response. They all visibly quivered. This answer was complete and utter bullshit. But only their husband would say it as he had some insane logic about him having no first kiss.

"How did we first meet?" asked the one flat as a board.

"I mistook you for a corpse and helped you drink your medicine."

Surprise the woman said in a shaking voice."Wwhat… did I do after?"

"You thanked me and ran away."

"…"

"Please tell me, What did I first asked to you after we met?", the maid who reeked of oil then asked her question.

"How I knew your name."

"…"

The flat one again posted another inquiry. "What did we last buy for Hiro before he departed?"

"Nothing, you didn't buy it you made the [Blade of Mitsurugi] the morning before I left."

"…"

"What did you tell me after you saw my face for the first time?"

"That you were beautiful and I asked why wore such an ugly mask."

The flat maid tried to run towards Hiro, but the small one then stood in front of her with her right arm outstretched blocking her path.

"Plan for Manticore."

Hiro replied as he stood up. "Pierce it."

The maid who smelled like oil then took off her mask and showed a cute face with tears streaming down her face. The other two similarly followed suit. "What did all three of us wish that only our Hiro gave us."

"You wished for a savior."

The questions were not difficult, but they all were related to events, that varied in time, place, and situation. Meaning even if they were spying on the Mitsurugi family, it would be impossible to know them all. And only the real hero would know the answer to each one.

"Does Nessa stuff her bra?"

"JEI!"

"Hahahahaha" Unable to contain himself the butcher let out a hearty chuckle at the joke that slipped in.

When they saw how the man laughed they confirmed it immediately. This man was the one they have long waited for. "Hiro-sama?"

Hiro then held out his arms awaiting an embrace. "Tadaima, Lene, Nessa, Jei. You have no idea how much I missed you."
