Chapter 164: Troubling Information
As I walked with Tsugumi back to the living room, I looked at her wardrobe. – "Why are you dressed as a man?"
Tsugumi smiled wryly. – "It is uncomfortable to fight wearing a skirt so I chose to wear the male uniform, besides the fact that the few times I have worn female clothing the men do not stop looking at me and that makes me uncomfortable"
"I see" - I nodded. – "It is good that you are more aware of your beauty, but it is a pity that I cannot see you wear a nice dress"
Tsugumi blushed and looked down not daring to look at me which made me raise an eyebrow. – "Isn't this supposed to be the time you try to hit me since you're a tsundere?"
"Who's a tsundere?!" – Tsugumi looked at me with anger and embarrassment, then showed a surprised expression. – "When did you learn that word?"
I sighed. – "I have been in Japan for almost three years, I learned many stupid and unimportant things"
"Did you become an otaku?" – Tsugumi smiled at me mockingly. – "It would be fun if you start hugging pillows with images of anime girls"
"Otaku? Do you think I'm Umaru?" - I rolled my eyes.
"Oh right, how's your sister?" – Tsugumi asked me with a big smile, she likes Umaru even though the brat is useless and only plays video games all day.
"She became a parasite that plays video games all day without leaving the house" - I sighed.
"How strange, I thought she would spend all day in arcade centers" – Tsugumi looked confused, then narrowed her eyes. – "Did you do something to her?"
I kept walking in silence.
"Luis..." – Tsugumi faced me, refusing to let me walk.
I sighed. - "Fine..."
"When we came to Japan, Umaru was too excited about Japanese culture so she was moving around like a dog without a leash, which caused a lot of idiots to harass her on the street, so obviously I had to kill them and in fact, that's how I joined the yakuza..."
"One day I just got fed up with taking care of the brat so I made a kidnapping scenario where three idiots kidnapped her to stop her from leaving the house, however, the idiots turned out to be perverts and started yelling that they would **** Umaru which made me mad so I ripped their heads off with my bare hands..."
"Umaru saw this and was traumatized so now she is afraid of the outside world and men" – I shrugged.
"..." – Tsugumi let out a deep sigh.
"Luis..." - Tsubaki also sighed in my mind.
"Hey Listen! You are a siscon yandere hahahaha!"
I'll pretend I don't hear that.
Tsugumi looked at me seriously. – "Then I will talk to Umaru, it is not healthy for her to spend all day at home"
"That brat is troublesome, it's better if she stays at home" - I shook my head.
If that brat leaves the house, I'll have to make sure nothing happens to her since she's a trouble magnet like me.
"Luis, I know you want to protect Umaru but she's not a pet, you can't lock her up forever" – Tsugumi sighed. – "Do you plan to take care of her forever?"
I shrugged. – "I have money, health, and resources, there is no problem if I have to take care of that brat for the rest of her life"
Tsugumi smiled. – "Siscon..."
"What?! Retract!" – To think that a single word would do me so much mental damage...
"Come on, Ojou-sama is waiting for me~" – Tsugumi turned around and walked again.
This woman... I will take revenge.
When we returned to the living room I met Lin Ruoxi's impatient gaze, this proud woman has little patience.
I walked over to my legal wife while Tsugumi addressed Chitoge. – "Come on, it's time to go"
Lin Ruoxi isn't happy when I tell her what to do, but she didn't complain out loud and just nodded.
"Did that idiot do something to you?" – With my superhuman sense of hearing I listened to Chitoge's conversation with Tsugumi.
"Ojou-sama, he's not an idiot... well, he is a little bit, but he's a cute idiot" – Tsugumi spoke with a combination of tenderness and irony.
"What?" – Chitoge froze. – "Is he your boyfriend or something?"
Tsugumi blushed as if steam was going to come off her head and nodded.
"..." – Chitoge patted her friend's shoulder. – "Well... Congratulations?... I don't know what to say..."
For now, I have to talk to Lin Ruoxi so I left this matter in Tsugumi's hands, but before I left I gave Tsugumi one last smile which made her blush.
I started walking accompanied by Lin Ruoxi and Xiao Bai.
"Are you interested in men too?" – Lin Ruoxi looked at me strangely.
"It's not a man, it's a woman" – Xiao Bai responded apathetically.
"A woman?" – Lin Ruoxi didn't seem too surprised and she looked at me blankly. – "One of your girlfriends?"
"Yes" - I nodded.
"..." – Lin Ruoxi frowned, possibly she expected me to give an ambiguous answer so she was surprised by my direct answer. – "Womanizer..."
"I am" - I nodded again.
"Aren't you afraid that she'll make me jealous?" – Lin Ruoxi seems to want me to treat her like a queen who deserves all my attention.
I stopped in the hallway and looked into her eyes. – "You can be jealous, you can hate me, you can even divorce me, I am not forcing you to stay by my side"
"..." – Lin Ruoxi looked down, she doesn't seem used to direct confrontations in terms of human relations.
"Listen, as long as you are my wife I will protect you with everything I have, I will help you in everything I can and I will find a way to make you happy" - I spoke with a calm voice as if this were something obvious. – "But do not think that for you I will abandon the women who have promised to love me and whom I have promised to love"
"And one more thing" – I started walking again. – "If at any time you have the brilliant idea of approaching other men to make me jealous, I will kill those men and then I will divorce you, and I am not kidding"
I walked calmly while the two women remained silent.
"Aren't you being cruel to her?" – Tsubaki asked with slight compassion.
"Actually this is a good attitude" – System Goddess nodded approvingly. – "If Luis is accommodating, the pride of that woman will rise to the heavens, but if Luis takes an apathetic attitude, that woman will feel despised, which will cause the birth of an enmity fueled by jealousy, it is best to make things clear at the beginning so that the woman's temper can relax without damaging her pride"
"Exaggerated words aside, System Goddess is right" - I nodded mentally. – "How did you understand what I am doing?"
"Kukukuku" – System Goddess let out a proud laugh. – "Once I was an ice beauty full of pride and stupidity so I understand this type of women"
To all this, comes an additional problem, the second soul has no name so I can't use [Contract], so I can only find the little girl and use her as a hostage to get the information I need.
I sighed internally, this is going to be a headache.
Even though it's dangerous, I need to go to China since I have a feeling that the deity inside Lin Ruoxi is a ticking time bomb that will drag me into a gigantic problem that can kill me if I don't get stronger quickly, [Paranoia] already confirmed it.
Even though my current love life is in chaos, I've been enjoying how peaceful it has been not having to live with a gun to my head and no longer having to crawl around with my intestines hanging out to find the stupid doctor who always uses me for his experiments.
Although a life without fights and death is relatively relaxing, the lack of danger has made my strength stagnant.
My biggest flaw to get stronger is that I'm too careful and calculating, I don't face too strong enemies and that prevents me from breaking my own limits.
[Rasen], [Anti-Rasen], [Nakama Power] and [Destiny Energy]. These four energies have stopped growing and I have already reached the maximum power that I can obtain through training.
I need to fight in dangerous situations, I need to devour powerful entities, and I need to rack up heroic achievements to increase my titles and Positive Karma.
In short, I must go to other worlds...
I finished giving a general explanation to Lin Ruoxi and Xiao Bai making both women fall into deep silence as they processed the information.
Seeing both women massaging their foreheads from their headaches gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.
I sighed. – "This is why you better stay here, this is one of the safest places in Japan and even the growers will not be able to hurt you as long as you do not leave this residence"
"..." – Lin Ruoxi remained silent.
"I know this is difficult to assimilate, but I can promise you one thing" - I stood up. – "As long as I live, no one will hurt you"
"Those words will only be valid as long as I remain your wife..." – Lin Ruoxi smiled bitterly. - "Certain?"
I nodded.
"..." – Lin Ruoxi looked down. – "All this information is more than I can handle, I want to go to sleep"
"You can choose the room you want, in each room, there is a closet with a clean pajama set and in case you need something you can use the phone" - I took out a card and handed it to him. – "If a problem arises, tear up this card and I will come immediately"
Lin Ruoxi received the card with trembling hands, knowing that her life is being threatened by mythological entities and fantasy beings made her feel scared.
I sighed and held her hands. – "I understand that everything is too complicated, to tell the truth, I got involved in this world a short time ago"
Lin Ruoxi didn't show dislike to my action of holding her hands since she needs some human comfort. – "Have you recently become involved with this world?"
I smiled slightly. – "I promise that later I will tell you the story of what happened to me, but for tonight it is better that you rest"
Lin Ruoxi nodded and then looked at me with some discomfort. – "Will you stay in the building where your family is?"
I am not surprised that she knows this since she surely met my mother during the move, what caught my attention the most was that she is starting to depend on me, fear really unites hearts.
"I have to make some preparations for the disaster that is to come" - I sighed with slight concern. – "For now you do not understand the whole situation so it is better if you rest and let me take care of this problem"
"..." – Lin Ruoxi seemed uncomfortable with this since she seems like the type of woman who is used to doing everything on her own without receiving help.
"You're a businesswoman so you deal with business" - I smiled comfortingly. – "I am a yakuza so I will deal with violent problems so you can do your business without worries"
Lin Ruoxi smiled wryly, the first time she smiles. – "Knowing that my husband is a mobster with magical powers is strangely comforting..."
She already calls me husband, the stress is really getting to her.
I smiled and let go of her hand, it's still early for a kiss so for now I just nodded. – "Rest, tomorrow a group of my subordinates will bring your things so you can move and for a while, it will be better if you work from here since it is dangerous if you go to your office"
Lin Ruoxi nodded without showing any stubbornness, she is proud but not an idiot so understanding the danger around her helped her understand that I want to protect her.
It is because of this type of thing that communication is important, if I kept too many secrets then she would only feel frustrated and in the future, our relationship could break.
"Oh..." – Lin Ruoxi seemed to want to say something so I smiled to show her that she can talk to me with confidence. – "Actually... My housekeeper and my best friend accompanied me when I came to Japan so I am worried that they might be in danger, plus I brought some subordinates from China..."
If they're unlucky they should already be dead, but if my plot armor is working then they should be safe.
"Your subordinates will be assigned to a safe place regulated by the yakuza, as for your close friends, I will send some people to look for them and they will stay here with you" - I nodded and smiled wryly. – "Although you will have to call them by phone or they will be scared if a group of yakuza arrives at their houses at night"
Lin Ruoxi showed a small smile of gratitude. - "Thanks"
I shook my head. – "Don't thank me, I have already told you that I will take care of my family so your problems are my problems"
Lin Ruoxi managed to relax from her worries so I was able to leave to deal with other problems.
For now, I went to an underground room inside the mansion.
"Boy, are you really going to do this?" – Mr. Ichijo looked at me with concern.
In an underground room, I stood in the center of a strange circle with many symbols similar to what you would see in a witchcraft ritual.
"Once you do this you will expose yourself to your identity being known by other worlds so at any moment you could be summoned to other worlds" - Mr. Ichijo sighed with regret.
This is a reverse summoning circle, by using it I will be sent to another world.
This thing was set by the founder of the Ichijo family to determine a slightly safe world where I won't die easily, but that doesn't mean I'll be totally safe.
Once I use this magic circle, my skill [Hero's Destiny] will be fully activated so I can be summoned to another world at any time which will be troublesome.
I nodded. – "A problem is about to start so I need strength"
Mr. Ichijo smiled bitterly. – "You really are a good boy... Okay, I wish you luck"
I nodded and felt the [Hero's Fate] skill activate along with the magic circle under my feet.
This circle was set up to create a space-time anomaly where for every year I'm in another world, I'll spend a minute here so I don't have to worry about time, and more importantly, I can bring in resources without the surveillance of the Will of the World since the Ichijo mansion has its own jurisdiction.
As long as the resources remain within this area then the Will of the World won't cause me any trouble, I can even bring my harem to this place.
In the future, I need to get my own pocket dimension inside Gaia since it's too convenient, but for now, I have a world to save and women to seduce.
