Chapter 213: Valuable things come in small packages

Chapter 213: Valuable things come in small packages

My visit to the Yamata Sect was profitable for what I got.

All ten women were beautiful and their growth potentials are very good not only in martial arts, but some of them also have innate supernatural abilities so they can fight in human society as long as they are not too flashy.

The Yamata Sect not only has several shinobi villages under their command, they also manage some shinobi schools since having a greater number of ninjas is beneficial for Japan since each region has Laws that encourage the development of a type of warrior.

For example, in Europe magic is faster to use, in China cultivators can more easily use Qi, and in Japan ninjas gain body bonuses and increased damage when using ninjutsu.

This was set up that way so that the supernatural forces of each country wouldn't invade other countries or it would create chaos if mages, gods, demons, and cultivators were able to fight at 100% power in any territory.

Since it is beneficial for Japan to encourage the development of ninjas, schools have been created in recent years that combine normal education with shinobi traditions creating a strange environment where ordinary teenagers can be ninjas trained to assassination...

Arisa said that this is a ridiculous way to justify pretty girls in school uniforms fighting with sharp weapons.

The point of all this is that in addition to Hannya, I received 9 other girls with ages close to mine.

The leader of the Yamada Sect called one of the shinobi academies to give these girls a special mission.

From now on these girls are on a mission to follow each and every one of my orders without question and even a magical contract was used to ensure that they belong to me.

The girls may have combat training comparable to a professional hitman, but the lack of experience in life made these girls relatively naive so they think they are on a secret mission and don't realize they were turned into a gift.

Hannya was like the older sister of the group and she seems to have a high standing among the other girls as none of them questioned the reason why they are now owned by the Okawa family's political rival.

The cult leader mentioned that some of the shinobi girls are used for sex trade with other politicians and that is why the Okawa family got a position in the government even though they were originally a family that works in the shadows.

Apart from Hannya who seems to be the only person aware that I am now in control of her life, the other nine girls seemed curious when I took them with me to the Ichijo residence.

With [Character Sheet] I saw that the girls belong to a franchise called Senran Kagura.

Arisa mentioned that it is a game series with an anime adaptation. The franchise consists of pretty girls fighting as ninjas, there seems to be a bigger backstory, but the basic plot is pretty girls doing flashy things.

The girls' names are Asuka, Yagyu, Hibari, Ayame, Hijitaka, Ikaruga, and Katsuragi.

These girls are between 16 and 18 years old and are still students so they will need real combat experience.

In addition to them, there are two other women who are already adult women and even though they have already graduated, the head of the Yamata Sect has the necessary authority to give them orders so now they belong to me.

These two women are Daidouji and Rin, although the latter seems to prefer the name Suzune.

When we arrived at the Ichijo residence, the yakuzas yawned to pretend to go to sleep since it was three in the morning, but they just want to go get drunk with the alcohol I made for them.

"Well boy, they are your problem" - Ryunosuke patted me on the shoulder and left with his friends to continue getting drunk.

Contrary to popular belief, the yakuza of the Ichijo family prefer alcohol to women, that's why I used to take care of missions that involved seducing women...

I stopped thinking nonsense, I want to check the things Ortro stole so I looked at Xiao Bai. – "They will be your subordinates so take care of organizing their responsibilities and check their needs, if a problem arises just tell me"

Xiao Bai nodded with a determined expression, she sees this as a show of confidence since I am handing her an elite squad, but the truth is that I have more important things to attend to.

"Tch" – A rough-looking woman clicked her tongue in disgust, I think she is Daidouji.

"Onii-chan, she's a rude woman addicted to fights so if Onii-chan kicks her ass then it will be easier for Onii-chan to add her to the harem" - Arisa spoke with slight weariness since her young body demands her sleep early despite genetic and magical enhancements.

I looked at the woman.

Her wardrobe is that of a juvenile delinquent from the 90s. A worn black school uniform, a black cap, long hair, firm muscles, no shirt and covers her big breasts with white bandages...

She seems like the female version of an impulsive and violent protagonist.

I know the mentality of this type of person, she is upset with me since she seems to hate obeying orders, especially from someone weaker than her.

Now I have Seiji's appearance so I'm more like a lawyer than a fighter so it's normal for her to underestimate my strength since my presence is not intimidating.

I sighed and looked at Daidouji. – "Do you want to check my strength?"

Daidouji smirked. - "A fight? Haha, it will be bad if you break by accident~"

"Uuuhhhh, she thinks senpai is a weak worm, come on senpai, go and shut up that Jotaro with boobs!" – BB started screaming wanting to see chaos.

Jotaro? Who is that?

Whatever.

"Hey Listen! Make a bet with that idiot woman! If she loses in a fistfight with you then she will have to be your bitch!" – Navi started with her stupidity... Wait... Actually, it's not a bad idea.

I smiled slightly as my gaze turned appreciative. – "Let's do this, we will have a fistfight without special abilities, just brute force"

Daidouji's eyes sparkled with excitement. - "Go! Let's get started!"

I smiled wryly. – "Let's go to the training camp... Besides, it's boring to fight for no reason"

Daidouji frowned. – "Are you going to take it back?!"

I smiled. – "Let's make a bet, if you win you can request to leave here or some kind of prize, I will do whatever you want... In exchange, if I win then you will be my lover, what do you think?"

The woman named Suzune seemed to have noticed the obvious scam I'm running and wanted to stop Daidouji, but the violent woman was very impulsive.

"Go!" - Daidouji clenched his fists with a wild smile.

"Shonen brains are so predictable..." - Arisa sighed.

As we headed to the training ground Suzune seemed to want to stop her friend, but Xiao Bai took her role as her leader seriously so she made sure Suzune didn't say anything troublesome.

We went to one of the training grounds and I smiled. - "Starts"

Daidouji was furious at my nonchalant attitude so she rushed over to punch my face.

Daidouji's strength was amazing, even without supernatural abilities her brute strength was comparable to the original Apachai proving that human limits in this world are absurd.

This brought back some memories from the beginning of my journey so I used the first martial art I learned, Ryuusui Gansai Ken.

With a quick movement of my left hand, I deflected Daidouji's fist causing the woman to hit her own abdomen.

She doesn't possess any special energies and her lineage is 100% human, but somehow her soul can potentiate the 'Madness' energy.

System Goddess summarized the information I stole from the lab and the records of the experiments made me want to sigh.

Simply put, Rachel was a lab rat used to attempt to integrate an Outer God lineage with the human body without causing mutations.

Although all intelligent entities can develop the 'Madness' energy including artificial intelligences, creating a 'Path of Madness' is an impossible task for any entity other than an Outer God.

When this energy is combined with other energies it will only cause corruption and deterioration of that energy which can bring a temporary increase in power, but in the long term, it will cause a deterioration in the soul which will lead to death.

Rachel was chosen for this experiment as the people around her seem to go crazy so she was captured by the Yamata Sect to do experiments.

The scientific records of the experiments show that everyone who spent time with Rachel began to freak out and develop an insane obsession with the blonde little girl.

This obsession quickly spiraled out of control and some of the scientists were killed after they tried to escape from the sect with Rachel.

Since Rachel had an innate ability to foster Madness, the scientists thought that she could withstand the mental destruction of an Outer God's blood so they gave her blood transfusions.

Miraculously, Rachel's mind and body didn't disintegrate in the same way the other lab rats did, but Rachel couldn't use Outer God's abilities either.

The scientists thought that she simply absorbed the blood with no effect, but the truth is that they created something beyond their expectations.

System Goddess found that Rachel's soul has an unusual soul frequency that causes insanity and with Outer God's blood that soul frequency evolved turning the girl into something akin to steroids for Outer Gods.

Rachel can be said to be the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. Anyone who gets close to her will die painfully, but if an entity capable of devouring radiation approaches her, then that entity will become stronger just by being near Rachel.

Rachel's mere presence can cause disaster even amongst powerful entities as she will bring about corruption and madness by her mere existence.

Luckily all the women in my harem are being protected by my [Reader's Madness] so they can interact with Rachel smoothly.

I understand why humans want to dominate this energy since the Outer Gods are entities feared even by someone at Auriel's level, but the problem is that these experiments are pointless since the human mind is not made to resist the existence of an Outer God....

But...

"Could these experiments be related to Kon's mutation?" – I frowned.

System Goddess thought deeply. – "Perhaps in the battle where Alaya took control of the world there was an Outer God involved and it was injured, that blood remained in the world and Kon was contaminated with that energy... Now, centuries later, humans found that blood to do experiments ..."

"That sounds similar to Bloodb■■■" – Arisa came out of my Core of Existence and joined the conversation overcoming her desire to sleep.

I sighed. – "Arisa, no names or spoilers"

Arisa smiled awkwardly. – "I'm sorry Onii-chan... I mean a video game that uses the theme of Lovecraft's books... I'm confused about the timeline that manages that world, there are too many mixed plots..."

I smiled wryly. – "At this point, the original plot does not exist so do not get obsessed with taking advantage of spoilers"

Arisa sighed. – "In novels, the protagonists can always take advantage of spoilers... Why can't we?... I hate crossovers, they ruin the plot..."

I sighed and patted her head.

I've already put mental restraints on the women around me so they don't question what's fact and what's fiction, this way it's safe to talk about these matters without fear of their minds collapsing.

Now only I suffer from migraines due to the classified information of the multiverse... I need to find more idiots to use [Forced Empathy], it sucks to be the only one suffering...

My attention turned to the girl who is giving me headaches.

Rachel ignored Shiguma and walked over to me.

"She hasn't had any reaction since she arrived, but she seems to like you" – Shiguma smiled. – "As expected of my lolicon husband~"

... Later I will punish her.

Rachel had a vacant look and expressionless face like a porcelain doll, but with every second that passed, I could see how the 'Madness' grew in her soul until she was about to generate a 'Path'...

"Senpai can now corrupt lolis with a look, the title of Lolimancer is getting too small" – BB looked at Rachel mockingly.

I focused on the little girl to ignore BB. – "What's up brat?"

My right hand was caressing Arisa's head so Rachel held my left hand. - "God..."

...

...

"Pfffff ahahahahahahahahahaha! You haven't penetrated her yet and she is already telling you that you are God! When you fuck her you'll make her say hallelujah!" – Navi began to fly in front of my face.

"Can you stop being a jerk for five minutes?" – I sighed.

"Hey Listen! I'll stop bugging you when you stop being a whiny bitch!" – Navi shouted with joy.

... Whatever.

I looked at Rachel, we just met, but she already has a deep obsession with me.

This obsession is of the religious fanaticism type and not romantic interest. At least it's not another yandere, I hope so...

I smiled and held her hand. – "You have spent a lot of time in that lonely place so you need to eat something healthy, come, I will make you something to eat"

Rachel continued to stare at me blankly but her grip on her hand tightened as if she was afraid to let go of me.

[System Notification: The 'Reader Madness' energy is being stimulated by an external entity. As long as the entity is in contact with the user, all skills related to the 'Reader's Madness' energy will have effectiveness bonuses that allow mid-level skills focused on mental defense, spirit defense, and destiny defense to be ignored]

[System Notification: The destructive instincts of the title 'Outer God' and the bloodline 'Chaotic Beast' are being stimulated. The 'Obsession' stat has prevented destructive instincts from controlling the user]

[System Notification: The current 'Protagonist' concept is incompatible with the 'Reader's Madness' energy bonuses. The bonuses will only be half as effective.

To take advantage of all the bonuses it is recommended to use the following concepts from the Identity Fragments list: 'Chaos', 'Madness', 'Corruption', 'Rasen', 'Humanity', 'Netori', 'Genocide', 'Villain', 'Enemy']

I smiled wryly and carried Rachel as her body seemed to be weak from the experiments she was subjected to. – "Do you have a favorite food?"

Rachel shook her head.

Well, I'll make her several dishes to see which is her favorite, after all, I have to take care of this priceless treasure...
