"Shujin, I have returned," a voice greeted lovingly.
Instead of ramming from the front like Robyn and Jo usually did, she suddenly appeared and wrapped her arms around from behind.
She might seem invisible to humans and reapers, but not to . I twisted my body to bring her to my front before giving her a smooch.
"Welco back Kamisan. And that goes for all of you. I'm glad that everyone is safe."
Aki, said nothing and just continued to embrace .
Rembering what Bella had just said made feel dizzy. Even though I looked fearless to others, I still had many insecurities. One of them was my own abilities.
While I would never think that I was worthless. I had a hard ti believing that I was better than the Sirens.
This humility was probably why I felt blessed that they chose . A small figure ran like lightning and jumped on like a cat. She then nuzzled her nose into my neck as she muttered.
"Possum, the girls say you think you're la? What's that about?"
"I..."
"Honey here thinks we are the ones who contribute the most to the battle. I told him he was wrong before you guys interrupted our sweet ti."
"Oh please, we already gave you a head start. If you talked less and kissed more, you might have already won. Dear, Bella may be an insufferable twat at tis, but in this case she is right."
"Indeed. My love, in my opinion, it is you who is carrying this battle."
"Of course he is, Husband would make any army unstoppable. While having us helps, we are mainly swords, without a competent warrior to wield us, what we can do is limited."
"I agree! If I had to crush Hellsend, I would kill you first, Darling! If you are not taken out, we can take over the world with enough ti!"
"Jo-san, can't you phrase it better? It is unsettling that you say such things with a smile. But I agree. Shujin would be the pillar that ensures that Hellsend cannot fall."
Robyn then turned my face to her while she pouted.
"Possum, you are being fucking stupid. Even if you were the weakest reaper around, do you think I would ever let you go?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at my Aussie's angry retort. It was only yesterday that she was worried that I would leave her when she could no longer kill.
"Lookie here John Smith, I Robyn Lithgow will love no other man but ya. You are worth more to than all the n on earth put together. Rember what you told ?"
The sweet talk I had with her?
How could I forget?
"Robyn, I love you. I didn't love you because you were the best at killing people. I loved you because you make happy. Do you love ?"
"Yes."
"Then that's all I need. I want you. I need you. Stay with . When you can no longer kill, I will protect you. You don't have to give anything in return.
Just be my Sheila."
Robyn laid her forehead on mine as she whispered softly. Her cheeks blushed slightly red as she shut her eyes. It was unlike her usually boisterous deanor. It was as if my girl was ashad of what she was about to say.
"It's my turn to reassure you, Possum. If you go blind, I will see for you. If you can no longer walk, I will be your legs. If you can no longer use your hands, I will be the one to wipe the shit off your ass."
Then she opened her eyes and looked deep into mine.
"I love you. You make happy. That is all that matters. I do my best because you are here. So everything I contribute belongs to you."
"Robyn, I..."
The Australian placed her finger on my lips as she continued.
"It's not just , Possum, look at everyone else."
I followed her words and looked at the faces of my harem. They all smiled beautifully as if to reassure .
Jo then stepped forward and grabbed Robyn by the collar before throwing her away. Like a leopard, the combat Joey sorsaulted and landed gracefully.
"Fucking nut job. Couldn't you just say please like a normal slagger?"
"Eh? Are any of us normal? Hehehe don't mind it jail bait!"
Jo then turned back to as she held out her hands.
"Darling, the Sirens and I know that you feel inadequate. That is one of the reasons why you try so hard. That is why you are so driven as a Reaper. I was the one who volunteered this plan to them. Instead of just clearing Dirge Sirens, I suggested clearing entire floors."
"..."
Jo's words weren't wrong, I didn't want to regret it, so I pushed myself really hard. The last two days where I couldn't sleep or the continuous string of batles were also because of that.
" Darling, we showed you right? I know you think you have to fight like crazy to defeat the undead and beco stronger. This plan was for you. We killed all the undead on the sixth floor. And it was so safe, it was boring, right?"
"Yes," I replied curtly.
Jo then hugged from the front. Her voluptuous body felt heavenly, even though the fabric of my suit prevented our skin from touching.
"Darling, it pains us to see you hurt. The sa as you get furious when you see us shed blood. Today and tomorrow, please understand, the Sirens and I are capable fighters. You intend to make us stronger, but know that we must be hurt to do so."
"Shujin, the only ti you treated us like warriors was when we were ambushed. Your anger dulled your concern and allowed us to truly show you our abilities. Please rember that just like last night, all of our power is at your disposal for all eternity."
"Unfortunately, since then, you have been nothing but a worrywart, Honey. While we feel cherished, tomorrow's stakes are too high. I don't know why you are so afraid of us dying, but we are strong, you know?"
"Ah. You noticed," I unconsciously blurted out.
"How could we not, Husband? The way you drive your n and us is very different. You worry too much and you want us to be safe, or at least as safe as we can be. You treat us like glass sculptures, Husband, you just haven't noticed."
" This is why we didn't ask you for your opinion, my love. And why we deliberately left you alone in today's battle. You trust us, we know that. After all, you were able to accept my abilities when you tested the shield. But when it cos to fighting the undead, you do not seem to do so."
"I am so sorry that you felt lonely, Dear. It was sothing we decided together to teach you a lesson. Otherwise you would do the sa tomorrow. And we cannot risk you making that mistake."
"..."
I couldn't react to her words at all. It was objectively true. Having seen the Sirens die, I wanted them to fight only battles that I was sure they could win. I was so out of the loop that I hardly knew what was going on.
