Chapter 101: Jealousy Is Strange

Chapter 101: Jealousy Is Strange

I helped Saori serve food for the three of us to eat.

Even though my cooking skills are possibly one of the best in the world, eating home-cooked food prepared with the love of a beautiful woman is much more enjoyable, of course, as long as the food tastes good.

"So, could you tell us what you did in this time that you disappeared?" - Saori asked me in a kind voice while she was sitting in front of me.

Shigure was holding my hand, refusing to let go of me as if she was terrified of losing me, she was really affected by my disappearance.

"It's a complicated subject ..." - I sighed internally.

I'm tired of making up shitty stories since the more I lie, the more likely it is to be discovered, so I decided to be a little more honest with the women who have fallen in love with me to the point of dependency and these two women fulfill that characteristic.

"To begin with, I didn't disappear, I was kidnapped" - I heard the sound of a fork being crushed by Shigure's hand.

"Who?" - Shigure asked simply but her anger was literally manifesting in the form of aggressive Ki.

She still hasn't gotten to the point of emitting bloodlust, but she's close. It's good that I finished developing a technique to go from the fist of life to the fist of death without side effects.

"Do you know Yami?" - With my question, Shigure's fury only grew.

"Yami?" - Saori asked confused.

"An organization of martial artists seeking to control the world" - I spoke seriously.

"Like the villains on the hero shows that Honoka watches?" - Saori asked surprised.

I could only nod wryly. In reality, Yami's people act like cliche villains who only exist to strengthen the protagonist through stupid schemes.

Is it a side effect of the plot armor?

Whatever, I already destroyed the plot armor so it doesn't matter.

"They hurt you?" - Saori asked worried as Shigure began to use her hands to inspect my body.

"I'm fine, although several problems arose ..." - I held Shigure's hand that was directed to an unsuitable area during the meal, she really missed me in various ways.

I made a brief summary of how I was kidnapped, I was brainwashed into believing that I was always a member of Yami and they used me to kill people, then I was able to recover my memories and I escaped so I had to change my appearance.

I did not tell what happened to the arms dealers and my identity as the terrorist Alexander as that would be more than they can bear at the moment.

"..." - Saori stood up and moved next to me to hug me while Shigure hugged me.

Although I enjoyed being hugged by two beautiful, big-breasted women, my interest was totally focused on the Ki of Shigure.

It was intense, violent, and sharp like a drawn sword, if it weren't for Shigure's excellent control of her own strength, that Ki would be enough to seriously injure Saori just by being close.

Emotions and desires help a martial artist to become stronger, only setting goals is that a martial artist can continue to strengthen without falling into conformity.

Until now Shigure's only motivation to practice martial arts were for love of martial arts, she also has the desire to recover the swords made by her father, an almost legendary blacksmith, but that's it.

The love for martial arts gives a constant but slow growth, the obsession with power improves strength in the short term, but it has a limit and it is easy to lose motivation when finding a stronger enemy or there is the risk of going crazy as happened to Jenazad.

There are only two wishes that show the true path of strength, the desire to protect or the desire for revenge.

Hayato once said that Kenichi was a genius not because of potential but because of his noble heart, something that I do not possess and possibly will never have so I only have to train until my mind and body break down and then rebuild and continue training.

Shigure's heart is a blank slate so it is difficult for her to understand friendship and love, but once she becomes fond of someone, she can love with all her heart.

At this moment Shigure discovered the desire to protect, but since her desire comes from love mixed with dependency, her desire is not a goal but an obsession.

Thanks to my mastery of Madness I could see it, Shigure just developed an obsessive desire to protect me.

It is a small wish and it has only just begun to sprout, but like an oak tree, with fertile soil and sufficient resources it will become a sturdy tree that can withstand storms.

After all, maybe I do have a fetish for crazy women...

The most surprising thing is that in that obsessive desire to protect me, she began to develop a desire that should be impossible for her, murderous intent.

Oh my dear and cute Shigure, you have already been corrupted by me and we had not even realized it.

The power of love is incredible.

For now, I need to calm her down or she will lose control so I started patting Shigure on the head since she loves it when I do that. - "I'm here and that's the only thing that matters"

Shigure relaxed showing a small smile, but the trace of madness in her heart did not disappear, only became more solid similar to a seed waiting to hatch.

"Even though what happened with Yami was painful, I made some friends so it wasn't all that bad" - I had to use a bit of Hamon to calm the two women as they refused to let go of me.

Saori looked at me suspiciously. - "They are women?"

The female instinct is problematic.

"Some yes, although I also made male friends" - Up to a point I was able to get along with Diego and Ogata, in fact, I hope they don't oppose me as it would be a shame to have to kill them.

Saori smiled at me mischievously. - "How many women do you have in your current harem?"

"Heh, answer her" - Tsubaki spoke from my Core of Existence.

Let's see ... The ones with a ring are: Shigure, Izumi, Rimi, Rachel, Mildred, Izayoi, and Olivia. I can also count Saori so there are 8 in this world.

"8 in this world" - I didn't know what expression to make so I smiled wryly.

Although being in Yami several women developed feelings for me, as long as they do not have a ring I will not count them in my official harem or it will be a problem if one of them becomes my enemy. Sincere love is not enough to form a massive harem, I need absolute dependence.

She met the marriage requirements of the system since, although she has not yet been divorced, the marriage is already broken.

"What is?" - Saori asked curiously trying to hide her expectations.

"Open it" - I smiled at her affectionately.

Saori opened the box and when she saw the ring inside, she began to cry for almost 10 minutes, an emotional scene if it wasn't because I can't move because of Shigure.

Now that Saori had put the ring on, I was able to introduce my headache to them. - "And this is Navi"

"HEY LISTEN! I AM NAVI! " - Navi appeared screaming so loud that Saori had to cover her ears.

"What's that?!" - Saori yelled in surprise.

Navi couldn't continue speaking as Shigure's sword struck him throwing him out the window. - "I couldn't... cut it"

She really wanted to kill Navi as soon as she met him... I love her.

"That thing is Navi, my travel companion linked to my soul" - I sighed. - "I can use him to give messages to my wives who wear wedding rings, with it I can contact you"

"I will also introduce you to someone else" - I took Tsubaki out of my Core of Existence. - "She is Tsubaki, she is from another world and she is my weapon"

Tsubaki curtsied while she avoided looking at me, she's still mad at me.

"Nice to meet you" - Tsubaki smiled kindly showing her good manners.

"Are you his weapon?" - Shigure asked in a strange voice.

"Yes, I know it may sound strange, but I can become a weapon" - Tsubaki raised a finger and turned it into the point of a short sword.

"..." - Shigure frowned and then looked at me. - "I will make you the best weapon"

... Ah.

"Ahem, we have a special bond so it's not necessary" - It was the first time I saw Tsubaki forcing a smile to hide her anger.

"I'll make the best weapon" - Shigure glared at Tsubaki with hostility.

I never thought the first fight in my harem would be over a gun instead of romantic jealousy.

Before the two of them could fight, I decided to step in or things would get messy. - "Shigure, I need you to let me go since there are still many things that I have to prepare"

"..." - Shigure did not respond and tightened her grip on the steel wire making me sigh.

"Tsubaki, ninja sword" - Tsubaki transformed into a sword and reached my free hand.

In one quick motion, I cut my arm and feet free of the thread.

Before Saori could scream in horror, my severed limbs freed themselves from the steel wire and returned to my body joining through the black blood.

This may seem excessive, but it was to prove something to Shigure, she does not want to let go of me not only because she misses me, but also because she is worried that I will be hurt.

My flashy movement showed her that I have changed, I am not just a martial arts expert, I am now a true monster that is difficult to kill.

Shigure can be distracted and a bit empty-headed, but in important situations, she is perceptive so she got my message.

"A duel ... I win and you stay ... You win and I will listen to you" - Shigure kept the steel thread while her Ki began to increase ready for a fight.

I could only smile wryly. - "Okay but first let's finish eating, I'm really hungry"

So the 4 of us began to eat while I had to intervene every time Shigure and Tsubaki brought up the subject about which weapon was better.

We decided to go to the dojo to have a duel as Miu and Renka were shopping with Izumi and they wouldn't be back until the afternoon.

The problem was that the noise we made caught the attention of a certain precocious girl who, when she came down the stairs and saw me, jumped to hug me.

"Onii-chan!!" - Honoka buried her head in my abdomen while she cried with happiness.

She is adorable, but I found it disturbing that the brat was sniffing at me while she salivated like an old pervert.

Dammit Izumi, what did you teach her?!
