Heroine-Saving System: Reborn In A Third-Rate Manga As The Protagonist-Chapter 72: Hakua’s Oversight

Koya blinked... since he had been hit in a vital spot, he half expected to wake up in Heaven honestly but instead he was on the lap of a silver haired woman which he recognized.

Pale Sword, he could recognize her anywhere.

He sat up quickly... however she didn’t let him, he remained down there.

"Stay." Pale said as she looked at him and then puckered her own lips. "I’ll protect you from the women in this room, you are mine after all... Now give me those lips."

"Pale." A woman suddenly entered the luxurious living room where he was in, she was wearing a dress that drew out her shape completely. "The Princess seems to be looking for the hair shampoo that you usually use... Go give her."

Pale stiffened and then nodded before letting go of him and walking out of the room, Koya sat properly and took a look around the room... there was a television and on this television was a view of the place where he had battled Shadow.

’They were watching.’ He thought.

So the place where he was... was the Order’s headquarters.

"Amagi Koya." The woman said and he looked at her, she was a beautiful woman with black hair and pink eyes... her face was similar to that of Numb however she was infinitely more beautiful than any of the girls he had seen and her breasts were exactly the kind he liked.

All of them... his breath was caught, she had a silver crest in the shape of a star around the side of her face and her hair was a bit wet.

The woman knelt on one knee in front of him and brought out a ring.

"Will you marry me...?" She asked while looking at him. His cheeks were about to turn red however he turned on Calm Mind... it helped him concentrate on what was important.

"Where am I?" He asked instead and the woman sat on the couch next to him.

"Straight to business huh? You’re exactly my type." She said while closing the ring box and looking at him. "Well Koya-kun, you’re currently in my mansion... and I am Hakai Kurotsuki, the Leader of the Order or what everyone would call ’Boss’."

"I see... and you’re probably the one that saved me right?" He asked. As for saving, he meant when the crests were reversing... Shadow had gone from blue to mundane, it made him shiver to think that she had some kind of crest reversing ability.

"Oh, you noticed? Very sharp eyes, I like that indeed." Hakai said while placing a leg above her other leg, purposely flashing her panties however he didn’t even shake.

It made her wonder how many women he had been with...

A hot guy like him should have a maximum of like ten body counts max, women were pretty easy for very hot guys, even if Awakening did upgrade looks... Koya could easily stand out amongst all of them.

"Anyway, I’m the one that saved you and I’m sure you know that you’ll have to repay me." She said simply. "Shadow could have killed you but he wanted to torture you which was why you found openings, if not, it would be a simple battle however you lasted commendably long against him and not only that but you have a tri-affinity. Pale doesn’t even have that... which makes me want to delve into all of your secrets."

She placed a hand on Koya’s lap and gave him a slightly lewd smile.

"Koya-kun... how many women have you slept with?" She asked. "Like had sex with, done the deed on bed..."

"Zero." Koya looked forward.

"Zero? You mean ten, like one and zero?"

"No, Zero. I haven’t been intimate with someone before." He said, it was a pretty simple question that he wasn’t afraid of sharing... He wasn’t going to lie though he was shy about it.

"Even better..." She said. "You’re a virgin... you’ll be my first virgin husband. I’ll make sure that all you can think about is me."

"I’m not getting married to you." He said, he barely knew who this "Hakai" woman was plus Victoria would crash out if she found he got married behind her back... and he had delayed their date once again. "Why would a silver rank like you want to get married to someone like me?"

He wasn’t trying to bring himself down... but what business did a powerhouse have with him?

"Your genes..." She spoke with a look on her face, it was pure pleasure. "Your genes are amazing, do you know your children have the chance to inherit everything? This fast growth... this power that you have, everything and I want the next generation of my children to be special. Which is why I need you... Amagi Koya, I want you to knock me up... as many times as you wish, I’ll be your woman as long as I’m alive and unlike some, I’m always down for sex no matter where. I’ll even move into the city for you."

’In the end, everybody has what they want you for.’

It honestly didn’t sound like a bad idea... with this he could probably use the Order’s resources which wasn’t bad and all he needed to do was to knock up a woman besides he was sure if he rejected this, she would try to kill him.

This was the damn Order after all and he could see it in her eyes.

"Then I acc-"

"Stop!" He heard a voice from behind him and he as well as Hakai stopped as he saw another silver haired woman, however he could realize who she was and instinctively to avoid disrespect... he bowed his head.

"Princess Hakua." He said with a bow and Hakua’s face blushed as she looked. She didn’t know why but she preferred when he called her Class Rep.

"Yes, you may raise your head." She walked over to the couch, her body was wet and she was wearing a wool coat that highlighted all of her brilliant curves.

He couldn’t treat her as naturally as he treated Misora... after all he was not supposed to know that this was the Class Rep then she sat, taking a similar position to Hakai.

"Amagi Koya, I have a deal of a lifetime for you... something you absolutely cannot resist." She said, "I want you to become my Knight. You will surrender yourself body and soul to me and become my sword and shield in this world. In return, I will protect everything and everyone you have ever loved... not even a hair on their heads will be harmed. You will receive the strongest techniques to accelerate your growth, I can promote you to Blue liner immediately, grant you access to the Royal Vaults containing artifacts from the First Awakening, give you a noble title with lands and income, and provide immunity from all laws except treason. Since I’m done... shall we sign the contract?" Hakua asked, barely concealing her excitement.

She was finally going to have Koy-

"I’m sorry princess but I’m not interested." Koya said with another bow. This was basically slavery... who in the hell would want-

He remembered that he had seen the sneak peak of the next manga volume with the Protagonist and Hakua on the cover... he felt like the idiot took it.

"Why?" Hakua raised an eyebrow.

"I don’t want to lose my freedom and besides, I don’t think someone of my caliber is qualified to be your Knight. I apologize but that’s my final decision." He said, of course he was qualified but he already knew what was next...

The room grew silent and even Pale Sword had walked back in as Hakua cleared her throat.

"I have a question for you Amagi-san." She said looking at him. "You’re aware of your classmate, Misora Tachibana? Do you like her?"

"Misora? Of course." He said and Hakua smiled, taking a hold of his hands and pressing it against her soft breasts.

"Good... from today onward, Amagi Koya will become my Love slave."

The instant she uttered those words, the air itself changed. It wasn’t gradual... It was immediate and absolute.

An immense pressure erupted from Hakua’s body and flooded the entire room like a tidal wave.

The atmosphere became heavy and suffocating... The walls groaned and the floor cracked in spiderweb patterns spreading outward from where she sat.

Every object not bolted down began to rattle.

The Princess’s golden crest was revealed fully for the first time... a blazing sun emblazoned across her forehead, radiating power that made the air shimmer with heat distortion.

Pale Sword had to raise her hands in a defensive cross to shield herself from being blown backward, her feet sliding across the floor.

Even she, a Top 10 member, was struggling against the raw output.

Hakai, a silver rank, tried to interrupt and her hand shot forward wreathed in destruction but the moment her attack entered Hakua’s sphere of influence it was deflected effortlessly.

It was not blocked nor was it countered, the attack simply ceased to exist as a threat, as if reality itself rejected interference with a royal decree in progress.

Once Hakua initiated this technique, nothing in this world could stop it.

Koya bit his lips hard enough to draw blood. The sensation of having your mind invaded was not a good thing... like thousands of invisible fingers prying open your skull and reaching inside to rearrange everything.

It felt identical to what Mirei had tried to do to him.

This was Royal Love Control.

This special skill was designed to break the minds of the people she used it on completely and utterly, rewriting their core identity until only devotion remained.

It grew exponentially stronger depending on the number of Love slaves she currently possessed and if someone liked her. Almost everyone in the whole world loved Hakua... she was the princess without ego after all.

This was still early in the stroy so she had maybe two others, but even with just two, the pressure bearing down on Koya’s consciousness was immense like being crushed under deep ocean water.

His vision blurred and his thoughts began to fragment even the edges of his mind started to fray...

「Skill: Mental Resistance (D) -> Unique Skill: Thought Aegis (C)」

A barrier snapped into place around his consciousness. It was not impenetrable, but strong enough to hold the line.

He hadn’t found any way to actively train this skill and hadn’t wanted to meet Mirei anyway to practice, so this was good practical experience under genuine life-or-death mental assault.

Hakua’s eyes widened when she saw Koya was still sane.

Her spell should have worked instantly on someone who admitted to liking Misora which was her. She pushed harder... pouring more power into the technique.

She pushed her vest down without hesitation. Her nude breasts spilled out, they were pale and perfect and she didn’t waste any time pressing his face directly into them.

"These are just like Misora’s breasts..." She whispered into his ear. "She told me you look at them all the time like you want to touch them, so go ahead. Do it. Be a man, Amagi."

With Thought Aegis active, he was resistant to the mental manipulation but her breasts were genuinely amazing and the pink nipple was extremely pinchable.

The spell reached its absolute peak and then stopped abruptly.

Hakua let out a deep shaky breath, sweat beading visibly on her forehead from the enormous mana expenditure required for a royal technique of this caliber.

The pressure in the room evaporated instantly. The other two women were giving her identical looks of betrayal... Hakai and Pale Sword both looked like she’d stabbed them in the back.

She pulled him away from her breasts and looked at his face with anticipation. Her love slaves had distinctive purple eyes with no pupils... completely glazed over and empty of independent thought, it would turn to normal if she willed it but they would no longer be normal.

The only reason she hadn’t turned Veronica into one was because they were half-sisters and the technique didn’t work on those with royal blood.

"Amagi, are you oka—"

His eyes were still normal.

It was impossible... completely impossible. Her skill was a royal technique passed down through the Shirogane women bloodline for generations.

It had never failed before... never.

He took her hands off him firmly and backed away.

"Were you trying to control my mind...?" He said it slowly, deliberately, making sure she felt every word land. "And Misora’s in on this?"

Hakai mentally added "exceptionally high mental resistance" to her growing list of Koya’s genetic assets, already wondering what trait their children would inherit.

Any one of his abilities would be amazing but she personally wanted to experiment on that mysterious Fighting Spirit energy.

"N-no, she’s not." Hakua stammered. She wasn’t sure how to react or what to say.

She never felt guilty when making people her love slaves... Ever... It was a tool... A weapon... It gave her utterly loyal soldiers who would throw themselves into the abyss and die for her without hesitation.

That was the entire point, guilt wasn’t supposed to enter the equation.

The plan had been perfect... get a perfect knight with perfect abilities and complete loyalty... but did she actually like him?

Like him enough that she genuinely cared what he thought about her as a person rather than as a princess to be obeyed?

The realization hit her like cold water.

She’d been excited... genuinely, stupidly excited about having him as her knight.

Not just because of his abilities or his potential or his strategic value but because she wanted him specifically.

She wanted to see him every day and wanted to hear him call her "Class Rep" again in that casual tone he used and wanted him to look at her the way he looked at her when he didn’t know she was royalty.

And she’d just destroyed any possibility of that happening by trying to turn him into a hollow puppet while saying Misora had told her about it...

How did he even defend against a royal technique? Her father had hundreds of slaves... politicians and generals and nobody had ever resisted his version of the skill successfully.

Not once in the entire documented history of the Shirogane bloodline.

’Is it because I’m weaker than Father?’ Her throat went completely dry and her hands trembled slightly. ’Is my bloodline too diluted? Is my mana output insufficient? Am I... fundamentally inadequate as royalty?’

Or worse... was Koya simply that exceptional? Was he so far beyond normal parameters that even royal techniques designed to be absolute just... didn’t work on him?

Koya was looking at her like she was a villain. Not even a villain... like she was worse than the Order assassins who’d tried to kill him. At least they’d been honest about wanting him dead. She’d pretended to care and then tried to steal his mind.

It hurt somewhere deep in her chest in a way she didn’t understand and had no framework for processing. so she did the only thing that made sense... she turned around sharply and walked out of the room without another word, her wool coat trailing behind her.

’Fuck, done with that.’ Koya thought with relief flooding through him. The last thing he wanted to become in this world was a mental slave to anyone.

Suddenly Hakai’s breasts pressed against his back from behind.

"What about me?" She whispered in his ear. "I’m giving you free access to everything. The entire Order at your command. The Top Ten at your beck and call. Any member, any resource, any technique. And myself too, whenever you want, however you want. I don’t have any strict requirements or loyalty contracts. You’re free to do as you wish. I’ll become your legal wife and take your name instead of you taking mine. Do you need time to think about it?"

"No need." He said.

He’d rather not have the Order as an enemy anymore after everything that had happened. These people were genuinely dangerous on a scale he couldn’t match yet. "So I lead the Order beside you as an equal?"

"Yes, absolutely. I can write up a binding contract right now with whatever terms you want..."

"Good. I’ll accept." He said while turning to face the window showing an unfamiliar skyline. "I’ll become your Husband."

And like that... he acquired a second wife.

"Wait, where the hell are we?" He asked, looking at the city he didn’t recognize.

"Isle Supercity... you know, where the official castle of the White King is located." She said casually. "Anyway, I’ll move into Keropolis by tomorrow and I’ll relocate you as well as those girls you’re training to a new secure location. Maybe your sister and that Nami woman too. I’ll have it filled with everything you could possibly need. Just let me take your first time tonight."

She licked her lips slowly and at this exact moment, he was absolutely certain that this woman was a succubus wearing human skin.

...

Later that evening, Koya arrived at Yuna’s residence and when he got there, waiting right at the porch were Victoria, Yuna and Akemi.

Their eyes lit up the instant they saw him and Victoria flew into his arms and he caught her easily.

"Where the hell have you been for so long...? I felt your life force go down to almost nothing but I couldn’t reach you and—" Victoria was on the verge of actual tears, her trembling vampire face with moisture in her red eyes made Koya feel genuinely guilty for worrying her.

"I..." The other two girls hugged him from the sides and he showed them his hand where a silver ring now rested. "I got married."
