Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

When Hiro, Krayto, and Gil left, the crowds started to disperse. No one wanted to make fun of the three women at the center due to the overbearingness of their protector.

Plus most now knew, the girls had fangs, the ones that saw how they fought against Maximilian would never risk going against them. Left in the middle the three women then looked awkwardly at each other. After all, they were now part of the same group due to belonging to the same man.

Vanessa started the discussion, "I can't believe we all fell in love with Hiroyuki-sama, I saw you both talking with Krayto ojisan numerous times but I never reached out. I will reintroduce myself I am Vanessa, a maid who works in the castle. let's get along."

"Jade, Mage, shop clerk. Alchemy department. Take care of me." Jade responded.

Raylene on the other hand retorted, "Who said I was in love with him?! I intend to give him a piece of my mind when he comes back! I belong to no one!"

"Ho? But I didn't hear you say anything as Hiro embraced or kissed your cheek." Smiling like a mischievous cat, Vanessa circled around the skull woman while making exaggerated thinking expressions.

"Like squirrel, not scared of red gorilla, scared of husband. Liar."

Hearing Jade's rebuke, Raylene shrieked in annoyance. "I don't want to hear it from you! Weren't you the same?! You froze up like a doll when Hiro embraced you!'

"Fufu, now now girls let's go, we rented the room earlier, we can talk there while we wait for our man."

Amused at the dynamics of the group, Vanessa pulled her new sisters by the hands as the maid lead them to what she believed would be their new home.

Upon arriving, Vanessa played host and made the other two sit and fixed up some tea. Raylene unable to sit still started to wipe the table while Jade gazed up at her in wonder.

"What? Why are you staring at me?" asked Raylene.

Jade then answered in her signature robotic voice. "Wipe table. Like member of house. Yet not like Husband? Liar."

The sounds of stifled laughter echoed as Vanessa came back with the drinks.

"Jade, don't bully her so much. She will get around eventually."

The blacksmith striker fell at a loss for words, she originally thought she and Hiro were just acquaintances who saved each other. Why did she come here? Why does she consider this place her own? Why didn't she deny being claimed by the transmigrator?

The maid then smiled as she opened up a conversation topic. "You know, my heart almost burst out of my chest when Hiro said we were his women. He was so dashing and cool! Like a knight in the tales, I used to read. We were his princesses! Can you believe it!"

She then made a melancholic smile as she added. "I never had anyone want to protect me before, well not since I lost my arms. I find myself loving him even more as I think about it."

Jade contributed to the discussion after a moment of thought. "Umu. I flew. Husband catch. Made sure I not hurt. No one else. Husband Nice. Kiss on cheek. Mind went white. Felt nice. Head pat. better."

"Fufu, I might need to ask him to pat my head too if that is the case. I like his more brazen side though, It feels nice to have someone on your side."

Both the maid and the loli mummy then looked towards Raylene as if waiting for a response.

The skull woman finally relented and drank a large gulp of her tea before sitting down hastily.

"FINE! I like him okay! I haven't stopped thinking about him ever since he saved me the other day. Despite how I look, he helped me with sincerity, he treated me so gently that it made me freak out! I have been silently stalking him since."

With the truth now out, Raylene felt like a weight got removed from her chest, she then noticed the smile of Vanessa. Annoyed with the feeling she lost, the blacksmith striker directed the conversation to her in a brusque fashion

"So, what's your story? Did he save you similar in a similar fashion?"

The maid then replied, "It isn't anything as grand as you two. I met him at work, and he called my name. That made me notice him more, well I first got curious because he fainted while still standing up. I mean how does one even do that? After he treated me like a normal person that made me want to know more about him."

"Same. Husband like animal. Never backs down. Can be beaten. But never surrenders. Bright. Like dawn. Hard. Like steel. Want to see more."

"I agree, I heard what happened, so I wanted to meet him. Anyone who has that kind of mindset would be amazing in the future. But with Vanessa I can understand as she works as a maid, but how did you see the duel chibi-chan? You were there?" asked the blacksmith striker.

Jade then shook her head as she added. "No. I saw. Magic. Don't ask." She then looked at the other two and pointed to herself then the others.

"Husband. Weird taste. Mummy. Corpse. Shrimp."

The maid then answered in a dejected voice, "We are a freak show, aren't we? Being such a kind and amazing person he might get more women in the future."

Due to the bullying all three received from their peers, their fears gave rise to the image of an overbearing woman who bullied them as Hiro's top wife. What right do they have to vie for a place by his side when they were even less than average?

Raylene then confirmed in a dispirited voice. "Hiro will only get stronger in the future, so it would be inevitable. Right now us putting our lives on the line made an impression.

"We are first, so we have to do our best. But we cannot guarantee he would not lose interest in us soon. Don't harems increase in size along with the man's prestige?"
