Chapter 729: Victor wants to make Hestia a Yandere.
Pushing those thoughts aside, Victor looked around.
Roberta, Maria, Natashia, Morgana, Bruna, and Agnes quickly formed a small group and started talking to each other.
Victor didn’t know what to think of this group; after all, the women in this group were quite ‘sadistic’. He felt he’d brought together a group of women who shouldn’t have been together…
‘Only Violet, Leona, Scathach, and my Generals are missing to complete this group of sadists.’
Victor could only pity the enemy who provoked these women.
‘Well, it’s good they’re getting along.’ He smiled and then looked at another group.
Hestia joined Kaguya, Victoria, Jeanne, Eve, and Roxanne.
This was a more ‘serious’ and gentler group of women, although these types were the most dangerous when provoked. An excellent example was Kaguya herself, who could become a killing machine for Victor’s sake.
Victor remembered when Kaguya had used that Form of Darkness to kill several enemies in the past.
‘In this group, I think only Sasha, Natalia, Mizuki, Lacus, Siena, Pepper, and Haruna are missing. They are the most balanced in the group…’
As he watched the girls, he realized something else. Aphrodite didn’t have a group. As a social queen bee, she communicated with everyone and got along with every topic presented.
‘Well, as expected of Aphrodite, I guess?’ He smiled.
Another thing he noticed was that… He had too many Wives.
If you counted the women he had an official relationship with, they included the Maids he created, including Roxanne, members of the Snow, Fulger, Scarlett, and Adrastella Clans, along with Haruna, Leona, Mizuki, and Aphrodite… So in total, there were 25 women!
He also hadn’t included the Zaladrac and the Demonic women. So, if you added them to the count, the number rose to… 31!
‘Holy fuck… The author’s probably having a hard time managing all this and developing the girls. I must control myself…’ Victor thought he should learn some restraint.
‘Hmm? What was that sudden thought?’ Victor scratched his head in confusion. After thinking about it for a bit, he put it aside.
He didn’t know the meaning of restraint anyway.
‘I will do what I want when I want! Hahahaha~!’
While Victor was thinking like a drugged man who wasn’t quite right in the head, he heard the door open again.
This time the younger women, his Mother, Mizuki, and Zaladrac, came.
“….” Looking at this group with a blank expression, he thought.
‘Yes, maybe I should learn restraint… After I turn Hestia into a Yandere, of course.’
…For God’s sake…
…
Some hours later.
Victor looked at Hestia curiously.
With the Blessing of Love, he could feel Hestia’s intense feelings toward him. Of course, it wasn’t love yet. But it could develop into something like that; after all, what Hestia wanted right now was a Home she could call her own.
And to be honest, Victor had a soft spot for this Goddess. He didn’t know why, but every time he was around her, he felt as though he’d arrived home after a long journey.
‘I guess she gives off that feeling because she’s the Goddess of The Home?’ Victor asked himself.
“Hmm?” Hestia stopped watching the movie and looked towards the gaze she was feeling.
When she saw it was Victor, she raised her eyebrow as if asking what the problem was.
Victor just smiled gently and shook his head back and forth, indicating it was nothing.
Hestia nodded gently and went back to watching the movie.
Victor stared at Hestia’s red hair, which was bright as red flames for a while, and then he nodded, making a decision for himself.
‘Let’s leave it to time.’ His current relationships were developed naturally, and he planned to keep it that way. Rushing things would never work, especially in a relationship like this.
“Lady Ruby, should we really be watching a Fantasy genre?”
“I mean, when you finish the Star Wars Trilogy, a Sci-fi genre, the next step is Fantasy, right?”
“… I would really like to know how your brain works to think that way.”
“Wha– Are you calling me dumb, Luna!?”
“Of course not, Lady Ruby. I would never dare say that.” Luna flashed a bright smile.
“You’re definitely thinking about it!” Ruby snapped.
“Yes, she is thinking about it.” Pepper was supportive: “She has that face that says, ‘What dumb creature is this?'” She perfectly mimicked the look of disgust that Scathach gave when she saw a weak enemy.
“I didn’t make that face!” Luna squealed and added, “And your Scathach imitation is perfect!”
“HmmHum.” Pepper snorted proudly, making her two mountains sway up and down: “Of course, I can imitate my Mother perfectly. I always saw her give that face when she saw a weak enemy!”
“Can you guys shut the fuck up!?” Violet and Agnes spoke at the same time: “We are trying to watch a movie here!”
“I’m sorry!” Luna and Pepper quickly spoke.
“Hmph.” Ruby just snorted and turned away.
“…” Victor glanced at the Scarlett Clan interaction and raised an eyebrow when he saw Luna.
‘I haven’t seen her in a while…’ Of all Victor’s acquaintances, he knew very little about Luna; even her past was unknown to him.
‘Well, I’ve had little contact with her.’ Victor knew that Luna spent more time actively helping the members of Clan Scarlett and even helped Scathach herself on some quests as well.
‘Wait a minute… Does she help Scathach on missions?’
We’re talking about Scathach here. Just like Victor, she didn’t accept mediocrity. She wouldn’t keep someone who wasn’t strong by her side.
Victor’s violet eyes narrowed a little, and his eyes glowed violet.
When Victor’s Draconian Eyes fell on Luna, what he saw left him astonished. The amount of Power in Luna’s body shouldn’t be possible for a ‘Common Noble Vampire’, not to mention that she had complete control of her Power! There were no Energy fluctuations in her body.
She was not necessarily hiding her Power. She was just so proficient at controlling it that if you didn’t focus your senses on her, you’d never notice.
‘So she’s been a Hidden Boss all this time! How have I never noticed this?’ Victor had to admit that he was never particularly interested in Luna.
And since Scathach trusted Maid enough to allow her to remain so close to her daughters, Victor didn’t really think much of the matter.
After all, he had complete confidence in Scathach’s judgment.
‘Well, this doesn’t change anything. As long as she protects the Scarlett Clan, I won’t meddle…’ Victor nodded in satisfaction, but soon a thought flashed through him: ‘She has as much Power as a trained Adult Vampire…But what are her other capabilities…?’ Victor’s look of interest grew.
‘Since she’s from Clan Scarlett, she must train a lot, right?’ Victor’s interest started to grow. He wonders what would happen if he threw Luna to fight some Demonic Elites.
“!!!” Luna felt a chill on her back and looked from one side to the other, confused. For some reason, she felt that someone had arrived at a terrible misunderstanding that would cause her to suffer a lot in the future.
“What’s the matter, Luna?” Siena asked when she saw Maid acting strange.
“It’s nothing…” Luna replied with a forced smile.
“It’s definitely not nothing, just say-.” Before Siena could finish asking, a frustrated scream was heard.
“Gaaaaahhhhhh! That’s enough! I can’t take so much bullshit! Can we change the movie!?” Violet raised her hand.
All the girls’ eyes went to her.
“Violet! The movie is only half done!” Sasha pointed.
“Who cares!? This lingering Fantasy is killing me! We spent the last 30 minutes just with dialogue! DIALOGUE! I want a fight scene! I want action! I want to see blood and guts flying across the screen!”
“Well, I can understand your feelings…” Eve said.
“Indeed, it’s a little boring.” Bruna nodded her head.
“Perhaps a little more blood and death is in order.” Maria pointed out.
“…These women are so bloodthirsty.” Jeanne sighed.
“It is our nature, Jeanne.” Morgana laughed.
“I know, but… Not a good influence on children, right?”
“….” The group looked at Ophis and Nero, who were in Victor’s lap.
“They are not normal children, and Ophis is my niece, so she is not weak,” Haruna spoke with a smile.
“Nero isn’t normal either.” Ruby spoke as if she didn’t want to lose to Haruna: “She can use weapons with absurd proficiency! She’s killed a lot of people too!”
Haruna narrowed her eyes when she thought that Ophis didn’t have any deaths to her name:
“…Perhaps, I should train Ophis too. If she is my sister’s daughter, she must have Kitsune abilities….”
“…” Ophis and Nero looked at Haruna and Ruby with strange looks. What was this sudden competition between the two?
“Ignoring those two maniacs,” Violet started to speak.
“Oyyy!” Haruna and Ruby screamed at the same time.
“I suggest we switch to Anime,” Violet spoke while holding the Blu-Rays of various Anime.
“AGREED!” Ruby, Pepper, Lacus, Luna, Eve, Maria, Leona, and, surprisingly, Siena immediately agreed.
Ruby, Pepper, Lacus, and Leona quickly looked at Kaguya, Mizuki, and Haruna as if they were expecting something.
Their gazes practically screamed: ‘You’re Japanese, right? Help us out here!’
“… Ugh… It’s a product made in my country, so I’m a little interested… I think…” Mizuki commented uncertainly. Actually, she wasn’t that interested, but she felt that she should mention it or some discussion would ensue.
“Although I’m descended from Japanese Noble Vampires, I grew up outside of Japan, so I can’t say anything.” Kaguya quickly removed her presence from the discussion.
Haruna then raised her hand, saying, “I don’t know what Anime is.”
“That is unacceptable!” Ruby yelled.
“How can a Kitsune not know what Anime is!” Leona screamed in scandal.
“What does being a Kitsune have to do with me not knowing Anime?” Haruna asked, genuinely confused.
“It’s sacrilege that you don’t know that,” Lacus said.
“It’s like committing an irredeemable sin,” Pepper commented.
“Ignorance is not always bliss.” Ruby nodded.
“…” Haruna was simply speechless.
“Haah, just ignore my crazy sisters. You didn’t make any mistakes, Haruna.” Siena spoke.
“Oyy! How can you throw us under the bus like that!” Pepper spoke to her older sister.
“Shut up! You’re bothering Haruna!” Siena hit Pepper on the head with a karate chop.
“Ughhh. Why are you defending her!?” Pepper commented.
“I’m not defending her! I just told you not to impose your beliefs on her! After all, not everyone is obliged to know about Anime!” Siena was surprisingly mature.
“Why not!?” Pepper, Lacus, Ruby, and Leona asked at the same time.
“Ugh, this discussion will never end.” Agnes put her hand to her head as if she had a severe headache.
Realizing that Agnes was right, Sasha looked at Victor and asked:
“What do you think, Vic?”
If anyone could end this discussion quickly, it was Victor.
The girls stopped talking and looked up at Victor sitting in a chair alone with just Ophis and Nero in his lap.
The reason he was alone?
It was to avoid confrontation.
If he sat down with the girls, the girls would immediately go to his side and those who didn’t make it would glare at the girls who did.
Of course, no conflict would arise due to the unity of the ‘sisters’, but it was best to prevent feelings like that from developing…
Well, that was not completely true… The biggest reason he was separated was that Victor wanted to spend time with his daughters.
Victor looked around, feeling everyone’s emotions with his Blessings, and realizing that everyone really didn’t care much about the film change, he said:
“It’s fine with me. How about putting on that Anime of the Giants attacking? I never had the opportunity to watch it before.”
“Ohhh! Good idea! I think it’s a good start for those who aren’t used to Anime.” Ruby put the popcorn made with blood cubes on the side and got up from her chair. Soon she walked towards the projector that was showing the movie.
Pepper looked at Lacus: “Speaking of this Anime, why don’t we kidnap the author and make him rewrite the ending of the manga?” She commented something cruel quite easily
“Let’s respect the author’s wishes with his own work. Although the ending is shitty, at least it’s the ending he wanted… I think.” Lacus commented.
“Geh, I highly doubt that Anime, like the continuation of everyone’s favorite orange ninja, was something the author wanted. Clearly, that was done to make money off the previous success.” Pepper waved dismissively and spat on the ground with an expression of disgust:
“Greedy bastards.”
“…” Scathach, seeing her daughter make a face much like hers when she was disgusted, actually wondered now if Pepper was her biological daughter or something.
‘Hmm, I adopted her into my blood through the Ritual… So she’s my daughter… But with the recent Ritual, she became Victor’s Wife, and now she has his blood in her body, so isn’t she technically Victor’s daughter…?’
Scathach got a headache when she thought about her relationship with her daughters, which got worse when she thought they would get pregnant in the future.
Would she be the grandmother or aunt of these children? She couldn’t say.
“Done!” When Ruby said this, the opening immediately started:
“Sasageyou, Sasageyou, Shinzou sasageyou” [Literal translation: Devote Your Heart.]
“Ohhh! That’s a good song, no matter how often I hear it!” Leona spoke.
“Ugh, it’s not bad… But aren’t there too many instruments? There’s so much going on that it hurts my ears.” Haruna grumbled. The kind of music she was used to was quite different, and seeing current music from her country gave her a disconcerting feeling. She felt like a samurai who had traveled 500 years into the future and couldn’t adjust to the new ‘culture’.
‘Wait, isn’t that a good premise for an Anime?’
“Ruby, skip the intro, or we’ll get copyrighted!” Pepper screamed.
“Never! I wouldn’t dare commit such blasphemy!” Ruby snorted.
“Gahhh! At least skip it in the next episodes! Seeing it the first time is enough!” Pepper spoke.
“…Hmm… Agreed!” Ruby accepted.
…
The room was utterly silent while everyone watched the Anime, although some comments were heard during the marathon.
“God damn, that Mikasa has some nice abs. She’s a warrior.” Rose commented as she nodded in satisfaction.
“Hmm…” The female warriors in the group who hadn’t watched the Anime immediately started paying attention to that woman.
“She has a lot of talent… Is it because of her ‘Lineage’?” Eleanor spoke.
“That also helped, but a powerful Bloodline without the right mindset is useless,” Scathach said.
“Indeed, not to mention that Lineage isn’t everything. A strong mentality is essential.”
“Hmm, hmm, I see Rose understands.” Scathach nodded several times.
“These soldiers’ equipment is quite interesting, but they are completely useless in the open field….” Maria analyzed.
“Not to mention, the blades break easily.” Roberta pointed.
“But do they have spare blades?” Bruno spoke.
“That little blonde over there is a Badass, too, I want to see her and that other girl fight!” Agnes spoke.
“Hmm, you’re right… That would be something interesting to see.” Natashia nodded.
“Hmm, no comment on the Protagonist?” Pepper asked cautiously.
“… Who cares about the Protagonist?” Haruna snorted.
“That brat is as dense as a black hole. How does he not notice the girl’s feelings?” Mizuki commented.
“Right? This is annoying. She clearly just cut her hair because he commented on it. How did he not notice that? Is his brain rotten or something?” Maria nodded.
“…” The group that already knew Anime wondered what their reaction would be if they knew that most Anime protagonists were like that.
“Well, he’s focused on his revenge against the Titans.” Lacus defended.
“It’s still not an excuse. That girl has the potential to be a Yandere. She must be developed,” Victor pointed out stoically.
“The fact that the MC doesn’t realize this is disappointing.”
“……” ‘What the hell is he talking about all of a sudden?’ Everyone wondered.
“…Victor, not everyone has such twisted tastes like you…” Hestia pointed out gently, but unintentionally she critically damaged most of the girls in the room.
“To me, it’s like he has no taste at all.” Victor snorted, “Well, I understand his motivation for wanting to get stronger and kill everyone; at least that’s admirable…”
“With that mindset, I think he will become something of a villain if a cruel revelation is shown in that ‘basement’.”
“…” Pepper, Lacus, Leona, and Ruby just looked at each other, conveying the same message.
‘If he only knew how right he was…’
Comments like that came and went throughout the Anime.
Victor couldn’t help but smile at this sight. For him, watching the Anime wasn’t that important. Seeing the girls getting along with each other was much more attractive to him.
“Father…?” Nero asked.
“Mhm?”
“I want to go stay with Ruby…”
“Oh? Are you going to trade your Father for your Mother?” Victor made a miserable face.
“T-That’s not-.” When Nero quickly tried to deny it, Victor smiled gently and spoke:
“Don’t worry, I understand. You want to talk about Anime with them, right?”
“Mhm…” She nodded as her face turned a little red from being teased by her Father.
“You can go, and if you want to come back later, just come back.”
“Thanks!” Nero displayed a gentle smile and quickly ran towards Ruby.
Victor laughed a little when he saw Ruby’s dumbfounded face.
‘Ruby probably never thought that Nero would leave me for her.’ Victor thought.
Victor looked at Ophis and asked, “How about you?”
“Father, Mine.” Ophis hugged Victor even tighter.
Victor smiled gently and patted Ophis on the head.
As Ophis melted from the caresses on her head, she sneered at Nero. How dare she trade her Father for some Mothers?
Mothers were countless, but Father is unique! Therefore Father is better!
Simple math, right?
Not to mention that her Father smelled better too… He was also kinder… His caresses were better… He spoiled her…
Why should she leave this comfortable place? Ophis couldn’t understand.
‘Hmm, is this called adult interests? Is Nero growing? Is that why she gave up our Father for the Mothers?’
“….” Nero looked at Ophis and felt a vein bulging on her head. She could very well imagine what that little rascal was thinking!
Ophis and Nero’s eyes met, and Nero conveyed with her eyes: ‘I didn’t give up my Father! I just want to talk about my common interest with Ruby!’
“Bleh.” Ophis stuck her little tongue out at Nero.
And that made the veins on Nero’s head bulge even more.
Victor just chuckled gently at their interaction. This had indeed been a very fun night.
