Chapter 73: Teamwork
"Do you feel better?" - I asked the woman in front of me.
After she calmed down I helped her up and sit down, then poured her a glass of water.
Since my main lovers know about the system I can show them articles without raising doubts, currently, the Infinite Sports Drink is filling the drinking water supply.
Although the school has facilities to purify the water, the purification process is very slow and we discovered that the water is infected with the virus.
It takes a long purification process to clean it, if taken without purification it can help people to get stronger, but in large quantities, it will cause mutations and martial artists use up a lot of electrolytes when sweating so they require a lot of drinking water.
The sports drink can replenish electrolytes and as the number of natural sugars it contains is minimal, it can be used as a supplement to water.
"Yes, thank you" - The woman nodded. - "My name is Nakatsukasa Tsubaki, member of the Nakatsukasa clan"
Tsubaki bowed slightly.
"Well, before explaining the situation, what do you remember before appearing here?" - I was curious to know how the system kidnapped Tsubaki and how much she knows about the system.
"I was at home preparing to travel to Death City so that I could join the Shibusen" - Tsubaki began to explain while I was silent, although I don't know what he is talking about this is a good opportunity to gather information.
"As I finished packing my things, I heard a strange voice that congratulated me for being chosen to become the weapon of the Harem King, then a golden light covered me and I appeared in this place" - Tsubaki looked at me strangely. - "Are you the King of the Harem?"
"Hey Listen! Admire the most imposing and all-powerful King of Harem! " - Navi stood in front of us.
I was about to answer but stopped when Tsubaki looked at Navi curiously. - "A fairy? How strange, I can feel a soul inside the fairy, but it seems to be connected to you, is it an extension of your soul? But it seems to be a separate entity, I am not an expert in souls, but I am sure that this is not normal "
I was surprised. - "Can you see Navi?"
"Hey Listen! Admire my greatness! " - Navi began to fly in circles.
"Is it called Navi? Em, nice to meet you "- Tsubaki greeted Navi politely.
"Good, pay your respects to the great me! I like this person! A weapon worthy of the Harem King muahahaha! " - Navi was in a good mood which is never good.
"Don't encourage this idiot or his narcissism will only grow" - I sighed, Tsubaki seems like a calm and kind woman, but that will only worsen Navi's attitude.
"Praise me more!" - Navi was getting annoying so I made a sphere of black blood and threw it at Navi, the black blood turned semi-liquid and stuck Navi to the wall.
Tsubaki frowned upon seeing the black blood. - "What's that? It feels strange and unpleasant. "
Since we will have to spend time together it would be absurd to hide my abilities so it only remains to be honest, anyway, I can order you not to tell my lovers the truth, slavery is convenient.
"Tsubaki, how much do you know about souls?" - I asked seriously.
"Living beings are made up of three parts, mind, body and soul" - Tsubaki looked like a model student responding to her teacher. - "A healthy soul resides in a healthy mind, as well as in a healthy body, when a body is corrupted by bad actions or a mind succumbs to madness is when the soul is corrupted"
"Haha, I told you it was common knowledge! You ignorant idiot! " - I had the black blood open the window and throw Navi out of the room.
"Is it okay to throw it like that?" - Tsubaki asked with concern.
"If that idiot died with that I would have already killed him long ago" - I replied apathetically.
"It seems that you two are getting along" - Tsubaki smiled.
This makes things more convenient, but it will be a huge problem if she sees me doing things like manipulating husbands to stay with their wives or if I kill innocent people for the greater good.
That is the answer! The greater good!
"Tsubaki, thank you for your words, but I think you are making a mistake" - I looked seriously at Tsubaki. - "I am not a good person and I do not understand why you say that my soul is pure, I have done horrible things to survive and if necessary I am willing to hurt innocent people in order to survive"
Navi, your turn.
"Hey Listen! You are tsundere! Even though you had to kill some idiots it was only to protect innocent people! The survivors you saved couldn't face this world without your care! Admit you're a good person damn tsundere! " - Navi shouted happily.
I let go of Tsubaki's hands and glared at Navi. - "Shut up idiot!"
Navi and I came to a quick conclusion, Navi would be the devil that leads me to do bad things while I would be the subject who is forced to hurt other people in order to achieve the greater good.
I hate to admit it, but Navi and I work well when we're not arguing.
"Tsundere tsundere you are a tsundere ♫!" - Navi got excited and started singing, I'm going to hit this idiot when we're done.
"Shut up, Navi! I have hurt many people, even the people I love! " I clenched my teeth in fury making sure Tsubaki saw the intense guilt in my expression.
"It was for the greater good! The system forces you to conquer women to strengthen yourself and if you do not obey the missions then you will receive a punishment! The curse on your soul makes it worse because if you find a cure then in 2 years you will be the bitch who put the curse on you! The most important thing is that the women who enter your harem feel grateful and you take care of them sincerely! " - Navi shouted excitedly. - "You are a good guy!"
Navi sent me a private mental message. - "Hey Listen! Get this shit done fast, I want to throw up! "
Me the same Navi, me the same.
Navi and I continued arguing while Tsubaki looked at us with a shocked expression. This will not be a perfect solution since it will be impossible to hide all my actions from someone who will accompany me on my travels, but it did manage to infect Tsubaki with my Madness things will be easier.
If Tsubaki falls in love with me, my Madness of Egoism will increase the feelings of attachment and dependence which will allow Tsubaki to forgive my wrongdoings.
I have a theory that I possessed a certain level of madness before awakening the black blood which would explain why women like Shigure, Izumi, and some women in my homeworld are so obsessed with me to the point of forgiving my stupidities.
Navi said that because of the curse all my actions were destined to fail except for conquering women, it's awkward to admit, but maybe I was born to be a Harem King.
Tsubaki approached me, her eyes filled with determination.
"I will help you, even if your actions are not correct I will make sure to show you the right way, I will prevent the madness from consuming you, and together we will find a way to heal your soul" - Tsubaki had a heroic expression worthy of a protagonist.
I feel like I'm taking advantage of a little girl's naivety even though we're a similar age, but the fucking greater good is my priority.
"Thank you Tsubaki ... But I don't think it's the right thing to do, my actions are not right and such a nice girl shouldn't be with someone like me, I can try to return you to your house and forget this ..." - I showed an apologetic expression.
I have no idea if I can return Tsubaki to her world, but if possible I want to visit her world as it seems to be focused on soul management and that could be useful.
I will find a way to travel to specific worlds.
"I have decided to help you! From today on I will be your weapon and you will be my technician!" - Tsubaki held my hands and looked at me with bright eyes.
Great, now will I have a voice of reason to make me feel guilty when stealing wives.
"Thank you Tsubaki" - I smiled slightly.
Now I just have to take my time to make her fall in love, I just hope I don't corrupt her too much, her naivety and goodness are a bit cute.
