Unfortunately, Hiro took her into the [Mirage Sphere] and left her there. When Hiro was about to leave, she wanted to ask him why he saved her, but no voice came out. A familiar faceless black knight appeared beside Rilu as if to guard her.
When the woman saw the powerful back of her savior, the beating inside her chest drowned out everything else. Yet the words that followed woke her from her happy delusion. "I had a debt from your teachings and wisdom. With this, my debt to you is repaid. From this moment on we owe each other nothing."
Tears poured out of her eyes like river streams. It seemed unrequited love remained her constant companion in this life. Yet the one to wipe her tears was the giant knight beside her. Rilu couldn't help but feel defeated as she buried her face into Gideon's lap.
When she did, various memories suddenly flowed into her mind. Rilu saw a Hiro who had a large number of swords on his body with three beautiful women by his side. He reached out to her to shake her hand.
(Then let me reintroduce myself. My name is Hiroyuki Mitsurugi, these here are my wives, Raylene, Vanessa, and Jade. Welcome to my battle harem Filia. Welcome to Heavenly Sword.)
Rilu then saw her own hand grasp Hiro's as a voice foreign to her answered.
(Filiale Von Drachenfeuer, I am heir to the Dragon Savior Ethan Dragonblood. I look forward to fighting by your side Hiro. As I said, I have no intention of climbing onto your bed. I join your group only because we have the same enemy.)
The scene immediately changed and Rilu found herself in the body of a tall red-haired woman who fought using two swords. Graceful, powerful, and impossibly alluring "Filia" fought many battles beside the transmigrator.
They fought back to back, she defended Hiro and he did the same. Rilu watched Filia feel extreme happiness by his side. Throughout her stay, Rilu saw numerous people try to join under Hiro's banner and pledge themselves to him.
They had diverse backgrounds, ages, and races yet all wanted to fight under the flag of the three swords. Won over by his intellect, courage, and principles many wanted to help Hiro change the status quo yet Hiro always had the same reply.
(I have no intention of being a leader, I will just travel the world with my wives and protect them with my all.)
Filia who knew the truth asked him privately. (Hiro, your mission is to hunt the last demon lord. Why are you refusing all of them?)
The transmigrator answered in jest. (I don't even know how to look for the demon lord. I will just get stronger and kill him when he pops out. I am quite powerful after all.)
The scene suddenly changed and years passed. Despite being extremely near, Filia also felt like an outsider within Heavenly Sword. While they did overcome many trials together Filia saw how different Hiro treated her from his wives.
The man turned into an absolute idiot as he frolicked with them. In contrast to his seriousness when they were in each other company. In actions, speech, and thought he and his women loved each other dearly.
They engaged in intercourse like animals in heat, their perversion knew no limits! Yet there were just as many times of them comforting each other in sorrow when they faced failures and hardships.
The four of them did insanely moronic stuff together, all while they were bursting with happiness. Eating, traveling, and even simply just being in each other's presence gave them such contentment.
In battle, they idiotically threw themselves in danger for each other. Hiro could already be considered beyond suicidal for his harem but the women were not any better. After every battle, they would shamelessly lock lips and make love like beasts for the entire world to hear.
Filia slowly began to feel strange, she was always proud of her destiny. But what awaited her at the end of the battle? What lay at the end of her victory at the end of the war? What was the point of it all? She secretly started to wonder how it would feel to be on the receiving end of Hiro's affection.
Being the Heir of Ethan Dragonblood gave her strength far above her peers. In fact, Filia met Hiro first as an enemy. After bonding due to being on the same battlefields numerous times he suddenly sought her power for his own.
(Filia, Join Heavenly Sword. That way I can always come to your aid if you need help. The dragons are loners right? You don't need to stick around, it's just insurance. Call me if you need help and I will do the same.)
When Hiro asked for the dragon Rilu felt her heart melt. The emotions Filia experienced were like her own, and the memories felt like something she lost. Unfortunately, in the same way, she reveled in Filia's joy and discovery of love, she drowned in her pain and sorrow.
The woman then saw the memory change to Filia leaving Heavenly Sword to go on a journey under the guise of seeking strength, but Rilu knew that the dragon only wanted to run away from confronting her own feelings.
Years passed by and when Filia finally came back, what the dragon saw was the husk of a man drowning himself in liquor. His entire demeanor turned despondent. Hiro lost the light of his eyes and looked more like a vagrant than a man she once knew.
Sour that her reunion lacked any flair or emotion Filia punched Hiro through an entire block of buildings and whooped his ass. Unlike normal, Hiro didn't fight back and just accepted the beating. Frustrated the woman started shouting in anger at him.
(WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT? WHERE IS THE FUCKING HEAVENLY SWORD! WHO IS THIS FUCKING PISS POOR EXCUSE FOR A WARRIOR?! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!)
However, the one that answered her was a giant monster with a lion's face and body a goat head on its back, and a snake for a tail. All three heads spoke in anger.
(I don't know who you are, but unhand Hiro, he has suffered enough already. Release him or I will rip off your throat. NOW!)
Rilu then saw Filia throw Hiro towards Patches and roared.
(Where the hell are your women? Vanessa! Your man looks like an absolute pile of horse shit! clean him up! Raylene! You keep spouting that chivalry crap and look at this fucker! Hell! Even Jade would bathe you at least once! Come here you bitches!)
Patches showed his fangs as he threatened the dragon heir. (DO NOT MENTION THOSE NAMES, YOU INSOLENT DEVIANT!) but faster than him, Hiro suddenly slammed Filia on the neck with a large greatsword.
Extremely surprised, the heir of Dragonblood couldn't even fight back as Hiro chopped her limbs off. STR, AGI, even INT, the man displayed strength that eclipsed her in all aspects. But her focus lay not on his newfound power greater than dragons, but on shadows that enveloped him.
(HIRO! WHY DO YOU BEAR THE MARK OF THE FORSAKEN?! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHERE ARE YOUR WIVES!)
The one to restrain Hiro was Patches, a cage of magic circles bound his body. Hiro couldn't be bothered and broke his bones struggling to get free. The Manticore then spoke once more.
(They are gone. His women all died in the last year. Each time it happened Hiro lost a piece of himself to regret and sorrow. When the last of them perished. The man went insane. The person in front of you is but the shell of what he once was.)
