Chapter 277: Just a week ago [2/2]
The saint spat out the blood that pooled in her mouth as she declared through ragged breaths.
"Is that so? Then I look forward to it, Claire Knight," Jo replied with a smile.
Unfortunately, despite her warm words, she brutally smashed Claire's head face first into the floor. When she was done, she returned to her cheerful self and wiped her forehead.
"Weew! That felt really good. Darling! I'm hungry! Let's eat!"
"Oy Jo, are you sure that Slag is still alive?" Robyn commented worriedly.
"I think so? Whatever! Darling! Let's go!"
I was about to open my mouth, but Bella appeared at my side and asked smugly.
"Do you want to know why we did this?"
"Isn't it for some kind of training?" I replied.
Jas came over with her rifle slung over her shoulder. The brunette ran her fingers through her hair as she spoke.
"Not really. Clarie Knight and Yvonne Kalapas tried to seduce you with a striptease. We only gave them a warning. This is what it means to try to take you away, husband."
"Huh?"
"Not just her, the ten other members of Golden Wick will also get what is coming to them. Honey doesn't need to worry."
"Wait! Wai-wait! That was a long time ago! I didn't even get hard! Phillip was there! He saw me!
If that's the reason, then you girls should just stop."
"Ara? Master, do these girls seem important to you? It seems Bella-san was right," Aki commented mockingly.
I held my face in irritation, so there wasn't any deeper reason for this beating? My girls were all just upset with Golden Wick? For a striptease I didn't even find enticing?
I checked the members of the 2nd Amendment and saw Liv and Robyn giving them all {heal} tablets. The versions the two were giving out were three levels above what I had. It was one of the things Lilly shared with the Sirens.
Funny how even though my people were being beaten into oblivion, the cleaning people didn't even try to help. Well, considering how Liv, Robyn and Jo were drenched in blood, they probably figured out that we were somehow connected to the massacre.
Lilly then walked past me and addressed my exclusive clerk.
"Phillip Scrivener."
"I salute the princess of..."
"I no longer have that title. Are your ears for show? You heard what I said earlier, did you not?"
Wow, Lilly was being a jerk again. Was she rude to everyone but me?
"I apologize. I greet Lilly Browning, Kindred of Limitless. How may I be of service?"
"You are still connected to the Admin Network, right? How do they plan to resolve this issue?"
"I once again apologize, Ms. Browning. Since you have abandoned your duties, I have no obligation to inform you. Such a matter is only for the ears of Administration."
"Since this incident involves my kindred, I have a right to know. The destruction of the rogues is a great achievement. Not only did the White Guard arrive when it was over, they barely managed to kill ten wraiths. The majority were killed by my sisters and I."
Ho? So Lilly wanted the merit. Was this like the merits for adventurers in Isekai manga? Then I noticed Phillip looking at me. It was as if he was not sure if he should reveal the information.
Originally, there were people around us, but they didn't loiter. After cleaning the area, they promptly left. At the moment, there was no one else in the receiving area except our group.
With a smile, I nodded as I set things straight. "Phillip, I trust my girls with my life. You may say anything about my affairs even if they are present."
"I see. Administration has decided to credit the termination to the White Guard. All charges against Limitless and the Sirens will be dropped as reward for their assistance. And Administration will turn a blind eye to everything else. The one who made the decision is His Majesty the Invincible himself."
I could feel the bloodlust erupting from my girls. Before any of them could speak, I expressed my agreement.
"That's fine. Tell David I said thanks."
"Honey, are you sure about this?"
"I am. Killing reapers would not reflect well on you girls. I don't care about the reward. What I care about is that we all got out of this mess in one piece. Can you all please agree with me on this?"
"..." x7
Despite their annoyed expressions, none of my girls objected. Lilly then turned back to Phillip for another matter.
"Phillip. The Sirens and I are going to register today. Leave the 2nd Amendment to other clerks or hire others. I do not wish my sisters to be managed by anyone else."
"Oh? I am flattered by your trust. But why me? I am the lowest performer among the clerks. As commander of the White Guard for more than three years, you should be well familiar with this."
"I am. But my dearest trusts you. That alone is enough," Lilly said with finality.
Phillip looked in my direction before commenting.
"Esteemed Limitless, it seems you are well loved indeed."
The monocled bastard then made an exaggerated bow before helping Yvonne to her feet.
"I understand Ms. Browning. I will get support clerks from Administration to take care of the rest of Limitless's forces. The Seven Sirens will be personally under my supervision."
At this point, a large group of people carrying what looked like spears and hammers arrived. They were led by Addison, the dwarf, and Cynthia, the redhead.
Cynthia, seeing the girls around me, bowed as if greeting royalty. Naturally, the members of the Limitless Logistics Group behind her followed suit.
"We welcome Limitless and his beloved battle harem. My ladies, I am Cynthia Carmine, President of the Limitless Logistics Group. We are a production guild supporting your esteemed husband. May your fate end the darkness!"
"MAY YOUR FATE END THE DARKNESS!"
The roar of the LLG was quite impressive. It really looked like they were greeting diplomats or something. I left the two groups to get to know each other without me. I checked the condition of my men and gave them all a slap to wake them up.
When they came to their senses, of course, they were all cautious of my girls. Angela, in particular, was hiding behind Joshua. Claire, on the other hand, seemed crestfallen.
When the 2nd Amendment was ready to move. I had Phillip lead us into a meeting room. With the arrival of the Sirens, I expected the way I did things to change. I was stupid, so I was glad they were here.
When I saw the LLG group, the 2nd Amendment and the Sirens all in one place, I was amazed.
"A week ago I came here alone. Now I had a huge force behind me. There is no telling what tomorrow will bring," I remarked, full of hope.
