Chapter 227 Beautiful Swords 5
Geo then spoke up as he tried to be as respectful as he could. "Aniki, I am sure the ladies are powerful but we are strong you know? The only way they can beat us is if you join them. If it is just the three of them I do not think it will be a fair battle."
"While the mistresses may have higher stats due to being first generations, stats are just one part of battle." Lars tried to be respectful but his message was clear. They will not be able to win.
Yet, Hiro remained silent and allowed his women to get belittled, Lars' skill [Eye of Odin] allowed him to scan stats and some skills. Once Hiro tried to verify what he saw and only he could see the Regalia section. He has yet to meet anyone who did so.
Despite the blatant disrespect, neither Hiro nor Tsugumi told Sword Dynasty to rein in their tongue. Both knew that actions spoke better than words. Yet Vanessa spoke a simple phrase. "Thank you for your council Larua. Let's do our best when the time comes."
Stats made your body better there was no contest in that. However just having high stats did not determine every battle, Vanessa and Hiro's wives knew this better than most. Just as the strong have their own battle styles, so do the weak.
Hiro then stood up and explained the next agenda to them. "Alright, our next step is to prepare supplies. Take the remainder of the day to shop around in Partisan for whatever you might need. Weapons, armor, curatives, spices, and even lifestyle items. Tsugumi, you buy whatever you want, Aurum and the others have millions to their names too."
Tsugumi shook her head fiercely at that statement. She then added. "Momma has billions, of course, she going to share the sugar. Hubbies, as your dom just tell me what you want and I will handle it."
Her subs then all then resisted by saying things like "men should pay for necessities" or "How can I woo your hand if you don't let me." thus sword dynasty started to quarrel about who would get the privilege of buying their supplies.
Heavenly Sword laughed at the hilarious arguments of Tsugumi and her subs. Seeing that it would take a long while, Hiro and his wives left ahead and started to stroll around the city. Raylene and Jade each took one arm while Vanessa linked with Jade.
Due to the beauty of his women, most, everyone wondered who he was. He still wore a black colored noble battle suit. With three women beside him in outfits worn by Paramours naturally every person had their eyes on Hiro's group. Men would freeze in place as they looked at the beautiful women.
"Man, what a babe!" "Such a looker! Is she a paramour?" "She must cost a fortune, but hell man if I could have a woman like that I'll die happy." "I can't even choose from the three." "Dude look at the one with red hair, look at those knockers. DAMN!" "You are blind the blue-haired ponytail is my ideal type." "You are all idiots, look at the smile on the blonde one. That is wife material right there."
Slaps coming from women ignored by their partners resounded all throughout the streets. Hiro who heard their admiration felt torn. It pleased him that they commented on how beautiful his women were, but he also grew annoyed at how much attention they were getting. His selfishness wanted to get them all but his ego wanted them to praise them more.
The annoyance showed on his face, which his wives enjoyed very much as they walked on. A small following of people started to follow them from a distance. Wondering what such good-looking people wanted in their city.
However just as his women drew attention so did Hiro. With even higher stats his already near-perfect skin now turned even more flawless. His eyes which were the color of blood had a light sheen like rubies even during the day.
His body while slim, had muscles rippling in his battle suit. Women similarly looked with longing at the butcher while he passed. Whispers going around highlighted just how much of a scene the four of them made while they walked around.
"Oh, my word! Who is that handsome man? He should be a noble right?" "Look at that face! I just want to gobble it up!" "Girl, did you see the bulge in his pants? Now, that's a man!" "What do I need to do to find a guy like that?" "He is so dreamy." "Maybe, I can get him to do me?" "Girl, those are paramours, you need to have good game to even compete."
Hiro naturally started to smile not from the attention but from something else entirely. His wives all reacted in comical manners. Vanessa wanted to slap the living shit out of them. Jade held her tightly while whispering stuff disturbing stuff.
"Let me go Jei, just one slap. I will do it very gently."
"Nessa, your hand is covered in Spirit, you will kill them. Let it to me, I'll make them shit stones with Mana later."
Both then made sadistic smiles as they planned their punishment for the tramps who lusted after their man. Raylene on the other hand did the opposite. She kept snuggling her body into Hiro forcing him to care for her.
"Lene? Are you alright? You seem to be leaning toward me too much."
"Pay it no mind darling, I have always wanted to take a stroll with you in public like this."
"Didn't we do that a lot in Valor city?"
"That's different before I gave you nothing but shame. Now I bring honor to you as your woman. It makes me so happy. No one says you were just pitying me anymore. They all think we belong to each other."
"Lene, I never was ashamed of being with you. Even before you got healed."
"I know darling, that is why I love you. But it still feels nice to no longer be disdained."
Hiro then went in for a kiss on Raylene's cheek. Contrary to their passionate kisses this was light and simple. Yet the blue-haired empress made a gorgeous smile as she blushed. She then guided Hiro's face toward her as she returned a kiss on his lips.
The peanut gallery broke into cheers and gasps as the pair disregarded everyone and lived in their own pink world. Raylene who sneakily smiled as she placed her head on Hiro's shoulder whispered in a voice low enough only for her husband to hear.
"Darling, thank you for loving me. Thank you for not giving up on me. I am here by your side in bliss as because you gambled everything on me and my sisters. You will not regret it, darling. When the invasion comes, I will serve as your vanguard."
Hiro then embraced his woman tighter as he kissed the top of her head. "You do not need to thank me for anything Lene. You gave my life color. Even in my other life, I did not have such happiness. Forget about the invasion for now. Let's just experience life by each other's side darling."
Raylene said nothing and simply basked in the warmth of her man. Inwardly she wished for everyone to experience love and happiness just as she does now. A hand suddenly took her other arm, along with it a very annoyed voice.
"Zombie, stop stealing a march. You are monopolizing husband." On the other side, Hiro got his face pulled by Vanessa with her hand locked on his cheeks like a vice. "Hiro-sama, if you are going to flirt, do it will all of us or don't do it at all."
