Dropping Geo on the floor Hiro then stowed his anger as he began to ask. "Right, Geo are you aware that the smut books Tsugumi reads are by an author nad Tasukete from the Gracyeanor empire?"
While Hiro and Geo had similar heights at 179 cm and 182 cm respectively the power behind their fras couldn't be any more different. Knowing what he knew about Hiro, the redhead just brushed this incident as one of his insanity episodes.
They were far in between, but they always occurred when the topic revolved around the things the butcher found important. So in a way Geo already expected it. Ignoring the threat completely he just focused on the question at hand.
"Cough. He nad himself Tasukete? And he is from the Gracyeanor?" asked the son of Renacida.
"Indeed. I believe this is related to what we last spoke of."
Nodding, Geo turned to the Mitsurugi sister and asked. "Tsugumi-sama, where did you find this author and when was the last piece of literature you saw?"
The young woman who felt extrely happy to be called by her na answered in a smug manner. "I am a fan of the author Tasukete, I have a decade worth of his collections. The latest book I read was from six months ago. I bought them in the Anvil specialty book store."
"As a fan did you notice him to leave behind so kind of note? It would have stuck out cause it would not have made any sense. Maybe about where he lived, or what he did in the past."
After thinking, closing her eyes to think Tsugumi got her to answer a couple of seconds later. "Ah in the his book 'Ga of the Rings', he did have a weird ssage. It said "When my friends Gibli and Regoras ask where I am, Tell them I await for them in the Castle of the Rising Sun with the
Yapanese army."
This ti even Hiro couldn't help but comnt. "Givli and Regoras? Where they an elf and a dwarf?"
"Yes Nii-sama, Givli was an elf and Regoras a dwarf. They were part of the band of brothers that saved Private Forester Gimp." Tsugu replied in a sweet manner.
By this point, both the n with her were face-palming from annoyance. "Master, which you did you leave?"
"2022, you?"
"2019. I believe this confirms it. We need to go there as soon as possible."
"Indeed, what do you think does the Yapanese army an."
"If he stuck to proper semantics it should have been the JSDF as the military was gone by 1954, Assuming he has been there for at least a decade, he may have gathered a group from either the sa causes or the sa situations."
Feeling annoyed she got left out of the situation, Tsugu pouted unhappily as she stayed silent. Hiro who noticed rubbed her head and made a small smile. "Don't be angry Tsugu, I promise you will get to et your favorite author soon enough. After we retrieve your sisters-in-law, we will go there imdiately."
Surprised, Tsugumi wondered why they even need to go out to et Tasukete. "Nii-sama why do we need to go et him? I like his books but not that much. Well, that would be a lie but still…"
The one to elucidate the manner was Hiro. "Tsugu, keep it from everyone but our family and Geo. I am both a transmigrator and a reincarnator. I ca here as Hiroyuki Mitsurugi and died a two months ago. I reincarnated a month after. Geo is the sa. We are from Japan the country Leonidas Dominii originated from."
As Hiro shared the truth, Fulgeo did the sa. "Lady Tsugumi, I ca into this world as Atsuhiko Kohei in the year 4120 in the lands of the Graceyeanor empire. There in lies, a group that hunts Transmigrators and we believe the author of your books is also a Transmigrator."
"Eh? Why would you think that."
Hiro then answered in Geo's stead. "Because Tasukete in our mother tongue ans 'Save '."
———————
As nothing could be done for now , both reincarnators made a tiline to go to the Gracyeanor as soon as possible. They also planned to buy as many books of Tasukete as possible to figure out where the 'Castle of the Rising sun' was.
Hiro and Tsugu, separated from Geo who returned to guarding the caravan and talked in depth about so matters. As a mber of the Mitsurugi family, Tsugu would not gain access to the important truth of the world.
And Hiro also shared his life as Hiroyuki to her, which prompted nurous emotional responses from his sister.
On Rhyne. "This fucking bitch, how dare he do that to my Nii-sama! I will fillet her into thin strips when we t."
On his wives. "They sound like wonderful people, no wonder Nii-sama adores them so much, I hope I get along with them."
On Krayto. "This Oji-san is too much. How dare he call My Nii-sama a bastard!"
"You called bastard as well as other nas before you know?"
Tsugu smiled as she answered. "Huh? When was that Nii-sama? I only got born a couple of hours ago."
On Patches. "Sniff* I wish I could have t him. Such a good friend. Uwaaaa!!!"
On Rilu. "Hmph. She dares seduce my brother, at least she did well in the end."
Hiro then shared the truths about Spirit and how the young dragonkin houses the soul of Riluttante Zhertva.
"So that is why Nii-sama cherishes her so. Very well, as her aunt, I will look after her rest assured Nii-sama!"
The man left out the parts about Alter Hiro for he didn't want to burden her. The Heavenly sword was extrely reluctant to share his mission like the wives and his daughter. Terror gripped him that they would leave if they knew of what is to co.
But Tsugumi being the brocon that she is picked up that sothing bothered her dearest brother prompting her to reassure him. "Nii-sama, if you consider family please tell what is bothering you. I owe you a debt I could never repay, so If I can be of use to you, I will do whatever you ask."
Knowing he would have to share it sooner or later, Hiro relented and told her about Heavenly Sword. He no longer kept anything as the weight of it all started to crush him.
Tsugumi who normally quipped left and right for so reason stayed silent. Only nodding her head from ti to ti. When Hiro finished the woman then approached him and gave him a loving embrace.
"Nii-sama, my heart breaks for you. This responsibility would crush most people to death yet like a candle in a storm you fight with all your power."
She then started to tear up as she continued. "How can anyone force such a hopeless battle on you. It is unfair, yet sohow I understand why they choose you. My Nii-sama is the strongest after all. From this point on Nii-sama my candle will be beside you."
Hiro who felt his very soul cleansed shed a few tears in silence. Just being able to tell his story to another brought him solace. In truth the panic of each day passing weighted on his mind all the ti. Hell, he even has the doom clock for the arrival of the Invasion in his missions window.
It could be likened to being in a trapped room underwater. You could see the water dripping in bit by bit. You know soon you will drown but as powerful as you are you cannot stop it.
