Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 267 [Vol 2 Chronicles 1]: A Harem's Plight And Sorrow

?

On the day Hiroyuki left with Starfall to hunt the Chimera, back at Valor City, three women were huddled in a shabby house.

"Jei, are you telling me you can see darling?"

"Yes. See little. See future. Needs mana. Can see fifteen minutes every two hours."

"Wow, you truly are from the Gracyeanor then. This should be the skill [Future Sight] right? Is there any way to help Hiro-sama?"

"Don't know. Will share later."

After a while, Jade was giddy in excitement. When prompted by her sisters the small mummy expressed her delight.

"Husband took down a griffin. So cool."

Hiro's harem then spent the next two hours cheering like fan girls about the battle. Jade memorized every detail and narrated to them. Like groupies, they cheered from secondhand pride at their man's achievement.

At around dinner time, Jade got really miffed and started to curse in anger.

"Slut. Whore. Harlot. Dirty filthy piece of shit. Moans like a Bish."

"What? What are you talking about? Jei" asked Vanessa

"Starfall Devoted. History nut. Owns Venator. Insane. Seducing husband by crying."

Raylene couldn't help but question in alarm."!!!! What does she look like? Is she pretty? Does she have big boobs?"

Due to Hiro intentionally leaving behind some money, his harem could take it easy for a few days. Currently, Vanessa and Raylene were at home and were tuned into Jei like an afternoon t.v. program.

As Jade started to change her bandages due to overexerting herself, she continued to pout unhappily. With the blonde maid helping her, the mage began to talk in short sentences.

"Beautiful, boobs bigger than shrimp. Silky hair. Already has husband's favor." The mage then smiled as she continued. "But husband ignored her. After crying attempts failed. Husband dashing and handsome."

"Please don't use me as a reference for someone else's bust size Jei. But I am glad Hiro-sama didn't get seduced. I wasn't worried at all."

"Oh please, your prosthetics are wheezing from the strain you put on them, Nessa. You aren't fooling anyone. I think we owe it to [Beauty's Bane]. Doesn't that skill turn darling into a eunuch?"

"Yeah. Skill sucks for Husband. Turns him harmless. But perfect defense for whores." Jade concurred.

Vanessa then made an arrogant pose as she explained. "Fufu. At least we all saw how Hiro-sama truly felt. I should have a lion's share of the [Beauty's Banes] activations wouldn't you agree?"

"Shut it, Nessa, if anything you are the one who always moans like a prostitute! Your saint-like image is full of shit!" Lene rebuked in anger.

"You are no better zombie. Flat as board yet shows body. Perverted exhibitionist. Wrap up already."

Raylene then grabbed Jei into a choke hold and started to playfully strangle her. "Oh yeah? What about you jail bait? Not only do you invade the bathroom when darling is in. You even stole one of Hiro's briefs! Who is more perverted then!"

Vanessa, who held a ladle smacked the blacksmith striker on the head. "Lene, behave yourself. Don't think no one knows about the shirts you stole from Hiro-sama? If you want to use them as blankets, wash them first at least."

The girls kept bickering until Jade again started to check on Hiro once more. There were no significant changes for the next two "Checks" but on the third Jei started to tremble.

As the harem of Mitsurugi decided to forgo a long slumber in lieu of knowing the latest news, they all froze at Jade's reaction.

"!!! No. No. No. No!"

Vanessa shook her sister "Jei! What is wrong?! Why are you trembling like this?!"

"Husband needs help! Up against lizards army. Big and strong. He will die!" cried out the mage in alarm.I think you should take a look at

Seeing the normally stoic mage panic, Lene and Nessa knew it was serious. Lene then embraced Jei and rubbed her back.

"Sister calm down. It hasn't happened yet, right? We can change the outcome now relay the situation to us."

"Hiro fell in hole. Thousand of dragsaurians. danger. We have to help!"

The other two women thought for a while as they weighed their options. First, they were weak, second, they were thousands of kilometers away. Third, they only had a couple of hours before the future Jade saw occured.

Vanessa took some Spirit and sent it to Jade. After a while, the three started to brainstorm. Eventually, Raylene came up with a suggestion.

"Didn't darling say [Wrath of the Vengeful] developed [Inherited Transgression]? I believe Max triggered it right?"

The blond maid then clapped her hands in glee. "Yes! I remember Hiro-sama saying it gave him a boost for each mark from us. So If all of us fought the same enemy he would get three additional [Marks of Vengeance] on the same target."

"How can we fight them though? We can't even leave the city. Would fighting a random dragsaurian grant Hiro the buff?" Asked Raylene.

Jade who finally thought of a solution moved to her workshop. It was basically a desk with a lot of bottles and monster parts scattered around.

"We curse ourselves. The curse [Dragon-Slayer]. Makes one hostile to reptiles."

Vanessa followed Jei while verifying their plan of action. "Would that work? What are the side effects?" Curses were similar to negative buffs or enchantments that could never be removed unless one died. Thus getting one normally made people hesitant.

"Increased aggression. Marks cursed to dragons. Same as real dragon slayer. Dragon materials become useless. Dragon equipment harms. Dragon class skills locked. Dragon blood becomes poison." Jei enumerated the demerits of the curse.

"Is there even a benefit to this?" Raylene could not help but ask.

Jei began mixing fluids and monster materials from those on her desk. Replying to her sisters as she did so. "None. Curse for dragon killer. Turns all reptiles into enemies."

The blacksmith striker then nodded as she agreed with her sister's plan of action. "Indeed, right now giving daring a buff trumps everything. We can worry about dragons later. Anything I can help with Jei?"

"Need dragon material. Scales, blood, anything. Cannot make without it."

Both of them looked at the maid. She originally used dragon blood to create the symbol of their sisterhood. Extremely hesitant Vanessa pulled out a small vial with the same orange liquid.

While she treasured this resource it meant nothing in the face of her lover's life.

"Here Jei, use it."

Once the curse was completed. Hiro's women drank the makeshift curse that turned them into dragon slayers. While it did allow them to save their man, the ramifications of their decision would be severe in the future.

Like listening to the highlights of a basketball game, they cheered and celebrated with each insane act Hiro completed. When Jade saw Hiro beat the dragsaurians they felt immensely satisfied.

Their love for him manifested through the [Blade of Mitsurugi] but the longer Jei watched the more cryptic her words became.

For the next several hours the Mitsurugi harem waited with bated breath for the news about their lover. They saw his desperate fight and eventual death. Upon doing so they all broke down in sorrow as they cried over the death of their beloved.

At that point, a knock came on their door. Despite ignoring it, the knocks didn't stop. After about five minutes, in anger, Raylene opened the door and shouted at their visitor.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?! CAN'T YOU GET A HINT?! WE DON'T WANT ANY VISITORS!! LEAVE!"

However, the visitor, a figure covered in a clock smiled as a feminine voice entered Lene, Vanessa, and Jei's minds.

'You wish for me to still leave, even if I hold the key to saving Hiroyuki Mitsurugi?'
