Using physics and calibers the Mitsurugi harem brought gravity to their advantage as they made this monstrous weapon. In theory, the [Blade of Mitsurugi] could grow to the size of cavalry mounted proportions yet handle like a normal sword.
But its greatest strength lay in [Impact]. Once invoked the blade would increase in weight by three times and then shift its balance from the handle to the tip, effectively turning it into a lance.
The consideration came from the lance having the greatest piercing power among bladed weapons. Hiro then took the sheath Raylene created and wore the [Blade of Mitsurugi] on his waist. The transmigrator then prepared breakfast for himself and his women.
As Hiro couldn't cook he only simply roasted some sausages and bacon. The family intended to splurge a bit for his send-off, normally they had hard bread and tasteless soup.
When the girls smelt the tasty aroma of the cooking meat, they all woke up and noticed they were clean and on the bed.
Hiro then thanked them and enjoyed one last meal with his family.
The sword on his hip now gave him a renewed determination to come home. He didn't make any more speeches as his resolve may crumble if he did.
Yet when he was going out, all three of the girls followed him like ducklings. And together they walked towards the castle. After sending Hiro off, the girls watched the image of their husband one last time as the door closed. As the leader of the expedition was Starfall, Nessa believed they would take airborne carriages to the location. Thus they all wish to be with Hiro until the last minute.
After Hiro and his harem separated, the transmigrator looked around to check his surroundings. The man saw a group preparing for an expedition but in contrast to his expectations, it wasn't the Spouse ranks of Starfall. There were twenty-plus people all checking their equipment and Hiro saw some familiar faces.
"Rhyne's Devoted…"
A young woman no more than eighteen years old saw Hiro and waved energetically. She had light chestnut brown hair and was covered in armor plates, the girl then approached and stopped in front of the transmigrator and saluted.
"Hiro-sama? I am so happy to meet you! Riluttante Zhertva! Please call me Rilu for short! I am one of Rhyne-sama's devoted at your service!"
Overwhelmed by the energy of Rilu, Hiro was reminded of the new hires who arrived in the workforce. Idealistic, full of energy, and eager to prove themselves, these types of people were the best to use for cheap labor but also burned out the quickest.
Knowing how to handle such people Hiro decided to understand the situation using her.
"Pleased to meet you Rilu, I am Hiroyuki Mitsurugi you can call me Hiro for short. I am a guest at this hunt as a community service. I was told only the spouse-ranks and ! would participate but all of Starfall's devoted seem to be present. As the more experienced here can I please ask for your help?"
Rilu, who Hiro acknowledge with sincerity and even was asked for counsel answered with frightening enthusiasm.
"OF COURSE! Even though I am a newly bound sub, I am knowledgeable about a variety of topics due to living in the capital. I also know extensive general history, tactics, and quite a lot about beasts!"
The transmigrator didn't forget to silent use [Inspect] on her, knowing your allies' abilities had a lot of benefits be it fighting, planning, or just in general.

The man failed to hide his surprise upon seeing her information. Rilu was way more powerful than him. And while she had only basic gear, it was still better than what he had.
'2000 points in STR? Isn't that the same as a spouse rank? Wait now that I think about it 10% of 200,000 is not 2000 but 20,000 right? Then if Rilu has 2000 that's 1%, then why did Artorius have so low a stat?'
Numbers never lied, so while wondering what was going on as Hiro decided to park the matter for now. Luckily the young devoted failed to notice as she continued going on and on about her vast experience and the things she could do.
Hiro politely smiled as he listened to the girl with brown chestnut hair boast about her abilities and knowledge. A few kind words went a long while for such types of people. Rilu then smacked her head playfully and started chattering like a news reporter.
"AH! Look at me I got so excited I haven't even answered your question. Ehem! The spouse ranks were sent to train in another place. Fearing the coming match against prince Dylan, her highness stepped up the training for them and sent us, the next strongest force to subjugate this beast!"
'Max did say Rhyne was sending him to training, still, this woman is the standard, this might be a piece of cake.'
Hiro then noticed the looks of disdain from the rest of the Devoted, the leader among them shouted some words indicating the expedition was leaving. The transmigrator then looked at his guide and asked.
"Rilu, the rest of the city believes that I tried to rape Rhyne, Starfall also hates me for this. Why is it you are friendly with me? Do you not despise me as Rhyne's submissive?"
The young girl then smiled as she answered.
"Oh! That is because I know you are innocent, my main skill [Scales of Justice] passively tells me which crimes a person is guilty of. So I know you are harmless, if that weren't the case I would have decapitated you at the door!"
The dissonance in the face and the words of the young devoted caused Hiro to sweat bullets. Somehow he knew Rilu was not kidding. He then asked for peace of mind. "If that is the case then couldn't you have told the people that I was innocent?"
Rilu then made a thinking gesture as she thought and asked in a puzzled manner.
"Why would I do that? Despite being innocent, her highness deemed it fit to brand you a rapist. As Her highness can never be wrong it means it is part of something larger. Unless directed I will keep my mouth shut as I am Rhyne-sama's devoted first and foremost."
