'Darling, what a relief! I am one too!'
'Honey, are you stupid? How are you not a yandere?'
'Husband. Don't worry, I don't care if you are one.'
'Shujin, you are not just a normal yandere, you might as well be S-ranked.'
I couldn't help but chuckle when I heard my girls' reactions. Positive emotions flowed through , which I showered on my harem. They all smiled beautifully as they giggled.
This must be the feedback loop Liv was sharing. Our emotions influenced each other, which in turn created more of those emotions.
By being happy, I could influence my harem. They in turn would respond to my positive emotions. By flooding with more of the sa, they would restart the cycle.
While this might be a good thing for good feelings, it ant the sa could happen for grief, suffering, or pain. I had to prepare myself for that kind of situation.
We finally reached the end of the corridor and were greeted by my two aides.
"My lord, welco back. My heart rejoices at your return. Hellsgate as a whole has greatly missed your presence. Phillip Scrivener, your official clerk and administrator, greets Limitless."
When did that monocled bastard start greeting like that? Was he perhaps being passive aggressive?
'Translation: Get back to work, you prick! I am about to die of stress,' I joked in my mind.
At that mont, all seven of my girls started giggling happily. Their laughter covered my {Kindred} link so much that I smiled in reflex.
"My lord, Vincent Deryck pays respect to his master. Happy birthday, my lord!"
"Oh? You're right, it was today. I forgot."
'Oh no! How shaful!' 'Oh dear.' 'Well fuck!' 'Teehee, I knew I forgot sothing.' 'HOW? HOW DID I FORGET?' 'Unacceptable, how could a wife forget her husband's birthday?' 'I must carve this date into my heart.'
The voices of my harem flooded again. But this ti, instead of happiness, it was fear, anxiety and frustration. It was adorable how concerned my girls were that they had forgotten my birthday.
A wild number of digital signals began to fly between the girls, who were probably panicking because they didn't have anything for . Not wanting to stress out my harem, I replied to Vincent with a nod.
"Thank you, Vincent. So far this has been the best birthday I have ever had. I have been feasting on heavenly peaches since I woke up."
At that mont, all the digital signals suddenly stopped. In their place, my {Kindred} link was bathed in a single emotion: embarrassnt.
'My love, that's...' 'And they say I am the pervert, right dearest?' 'Fuck dead, Possum, that's embarrassing.' 'Darling, you're too lewd!' 'Honey! Phrasing! Word choice! Give so face! 'Husband, please stop humiliating in front of our people.' 'Ahh... Shujin, my dignity is in shambles...'
Taking pleasure in teasing the girls, I ignored them and continued to smile at Phillip and Vincent. Both n froze, not knowing what to say or do. They probably didn't want to offend the Sirens by agreeing or by disagreeing.
An awkward silence crept over everyone. Without breaking my smile, I continued the conversation.
"I was just about to eat with the girls. Join us. Exa has already assessed the things that need my attention."
I walked to the elevators and pushed the down button. Seeing that I was already in work mode, both n regained their composure and began their reports.
"My Lord, when would you like to speak with Amari Soldat and Mia Fair? Would it be before or after Gareth Faesten? Or do you wish to speak with the Reapers who are waiting for you?"
"I will speak with Amari and Mia first. Tell them to et in the sun. I will speak to Gareth tonight. The sa with the new recruits. How are things going with Hellsend?"
"My Lord, the 2nd Andnt has increased the size of its groups as over a hundred people from the Ten Graves have passed Commander Joshua's training. Miss Exa should have received a report of all Hellsend's earnings while you were away."
Exa then showed a detailed report of how much Hellsend had made. It was in the millions. I was able to get about a million souls a day without having to work.
"I see, well done Phillip."
Vincent then interjected his own business, as if to show off his own work.
"As for my side Master, over the past week, the security around the Simmons has steadily increased. They are able to go about their daily lives protected by the Deryck family with Phantoms escorting them around the clock. The Limit Royalty families have also been relocated and integrated into the community."
This bastard really understood . More than anything else, I was worried about Earl's family. I didn't have the brainpower to keep an eye on them, so I just assud Bella would.
Hearing how protected they were made pleased. Learning that Bernard's families were being integrated into the community as also good news. It would be a nice incentive for their respective Reapers.
It didn't hurt that I was their relative's employer. So, they should be nice to my adopted family by simple association.
"Thank you, Vincent, I appreciate it. What a wonderful birthday present."
Hearing my praise, Vincent grinned broadly as he bowed in an exaggerated manner.
"But my lord. That wasn't my gift. Of course, I pulled out all the stops for the esteed one's birthday."
Huh? Hearing such a thing, I couldn't help but get excited.
We had many gaps in our inventory. And we could supplent them with what the world's militaries were using. The main advantage my forces had was that the traditional limitations of the Reapers did not apply to us.
"Are you trying to buy your way into my good books again?" I asked excitedly.
'Sigh, there he goes again. Dearest, please try to keep your dignity, if you please?'
'My love, I know you are excited, but please mind your face, it looks absolutely deranged.'
'Possum, you know I love you, but get a fucking grip!'
'Hehe, look at my darling, all excited like a child! How cute!'
'Well, I kind of expected it, but Honey, your face is absolutely disturbing.'
'That man is formidable; he knows Husband almost as well as we do.'
'Sigh, Shujin, I have to tell you that you can be quite simple if one understands how you think. Please be careful.'
I turned to my girls and announced to them like a child at Christmas.
"My {Kindred}, may I please be excused? I want to see what Vincent has for ."
"We'll co with you." X7
"Oh? Great! Phillip, tell everyone that I have sothing important to do. And ask Joshua, Mike and Santiago to join ."
The monocled bastard bowed as he gritted his teeth, "I understand, my lord. Where shall I tell them to go?"
I then turned to Vincent, as only he could answer.
"Please tell them to go to this address," he replied while giving Phillip a piece of paper.
Sohow, I had the feeling that these two were having a fight or sothing. Vincent looked absolutely gloating while Phillip looked miserable. Were they fighting for the right to be my butler or sothing?
Ignoring them, I turned to the girls and asked.
'My {Kindred}, can you take to this place right now?'
'Beloved, you are so simple sotis it scares .'
'Possum, do you even care who gives you the guns?'
'Pfft! HAHAHAH! Darling! You are so adorable!'
'Husband, if you desire it, we will make it happen.'
'Anything for you Anata.'
'Let's see. I can see so security caras nearby. It's... an airplane hangar? Wow! I must say I am impressed.
Honey's going to flip.'
'Share the location. All right. I got it. Dearest, I can open a {Portal} now.'
Lilly then raised her hand and opened a {Portal} in front of us. The image I saw on the other side made giddy with joy. I kissed Lilly on the cheeks and practically ran through the doorway.
