Chapter 322: Heroine Chapter: Pamper me later [1/2]
Chapter POV: Aki Miroku
___
"Everyone, I will go ahead. Make sure that you protect each other, okay? And as soon as your business is done, come back to me. You all deserve your rest as well."
"Come back to me," such a beautiful phrase. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when he said those words. If someone other than Shujin said such a thing, I wonder what my reaction would be?
"Kamisan, I wasn't looking for an apology. If winning you as my woman was the price. I would be willing to not sleep for a century. I am just tired for some reason."
Shujin was beyond loving. Kamisan, a term of endearment that was mine alone. Originally, I thought it would be enough to be called by my name. But since Shujin was American, he did it for everyone, even people he met on the street.
'Just how special am I if a bum on the street gets the same treatment,' I lamented.
Such was the hardship of loving someone from another culture. But I already belonged to him. So I had no intention of leaving. Anyone who wanted my place would have to be prepared to kill me first.
But in the midst of all this, he noticed my discontent. Such a trivial feeling, and yet he noticed it. I just knew, similar to what Liv said, that Shujin loved us and was always looking out for us.
As unfortunate as it was that I had to share, I was already satisfied with just a piece of his heart.
'How foolish you are, Caroline Fisher. You had the world at your fingertips and yet you chose to throw it all away. You will rue that moment for all eternity.'
"All right, Honey just left. Stop trying to cheat, you two."
"Get stuffed, Bella! I was supposed to be the 3rd person with them! Possum needs me!"
"UNHAND MY HAIR, YOU ILL MANNERED BIG BREASTED COW! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO TAKE CARE OF!"
Bella then let go of both Lilly and Robyn as she complained.
"Robyn, we already decided that two people were enough. We have work to do. And as for you, Princess, you never cared about your hair before, is it because of Aira's data?"
It was amusing, ever since Shujin was suddenly kidnapped, the Sirens made a vow. From this day on, at least two Sirens must be with him at all times. That was our agreement.
Five of us would handle other matters and be ready to be summoned at any time. Lilly actually created a {program} called [Beacon]. It was an automated application of {Portal} that would call each Siren to the one who asked for help.
This way, as long as even one of us was with Shujin, the rest could follow in less than 5 seconds. It took a lot of brainpower for the five of us to make it work without our man noticing.
Even though it was more than tedious to set up, the relief we all felt was worth every second we spent agonizing about [Beacon].
"Heee? But Aira's data was right? 96% of the porn Darling watched had long hair. I also noticed that he loved ponytails and braids. Luckily, he also seemed to prefer blonde porn stars!"
"Shut it Jo, my hair will grow longer soon enough. Possum already loves me as it is."
"Jo-san, Master likes hentai and Japanese AV actresses more than Americans though?"
"That's because you bastard are freaks, Aki, if whites love their incest, you chinks love NTR. Honey rarely watches NTR, almost 60% of his viewing time was on Vanilla."
"Good grief, that's just another way of saying 40% of what he watched was non-consensual sex. Are you all seriously planning to use Aira's data to study our kindred's kinks?"
Hearing Lilly-sama's words, we all looked at her with a judgmental gaze.
Despite her majesty and lofty attitude, this American was undoubtedly a pervert. The number of smut books she read in her spare time went beyond being a depraved tramp.
"Puta." "Cunt." "Hentai." "Lilly, you should change what you read first."
"W-what? What do my novels have to do with this? It is a perfectly respectable hobby! I am not a pervert!" Ishtar stammered.
"AHHHHHH! Fucking cunts! Bella, what are we supposed to do? Let's get to it so I can get back to Possum!"
"Shut up jail bait, your screeching hurts my ears, just follow Lilly and I. Princess, stop daydreaming depraved fantasies and come here already you pervert. We have much to do. We have to reform the LLG in preparation for tomorrow. Jo, continue with your plan."
"Ugh! You guys are just going to be ear bashing all night! Do you even need me there?"
"W-what? I wasn't! How can you even prove that I did it? You are horrible! You're a stalker, so you're even worse! " Lilly-sama cried in tears.
"Aki! Let's go! You're with me!"
It was amusing, Robyn, Bella and Lilly-sama were loud and cursed at each other most of the time. Still, they all looked like they were having fun. Without any pretense or malice. Similarly, Jo-san was also smiling brightly.
But unlike the other three, her smile scared me. The difference between her normal face and "Vela" was beyond disturbing. I knew some basic psychology from my time as an assassin, but I could not understand her.
From my missions, I had to ingrain myself with the targets or predict their actions. I believed that this gave me a good understanding of human psychology. But this woman. This woman was an enigma.
Wordlessly I followed. Of all the sirens, she was the one I had the most trouble with.
Liv and Robyn were cavemen in their personalities. And were quite easy to understand. Intelligent people like Bella-san and Jas-san were somewhat predictable. They usually followed logic.
Lilly-sama was an egocentric and greedy person, so her actions revolved around her desires. But Jo-san did not follow a typical psychological profile. Even her actions so far made no sense to me.
"Sigh. I envy Jas and Liv. I wanted to cuddle with my darling on a bed," the madwoman said jadedly.
Careful not to upset her, I tried to at least be pleasant. "Um, I don't think you need to worry, Jo-san. Master said he would make us his this Sunday after the Seeker War."
Remembering the lascivious words and actions of my beloved husband, I felt my cheeks burning with the thought of how he would devour me. Would he be gentle? Or fierce like an animal? Surprisingly, I was looking forward to both.
"I see. I hope so," she said coldly.
Surprised by her tone, I stopped in my tracks.
What was this woman up to?
"Jo-san, are you okay?"
"Never mind. This spot should be okay. I will use the abandoned building behind Simon's house as a return point. Do you know of it?"
"I do," I replied curtly.
How could I forget, that place was where Shujin and I fought to the death and where he made me his slave. The memory of his forcefulness alone was enough to make me long for his embrace.
Our bodies were covered in light as we warped back to earth.
