Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Tsugumi acted sad and covered her eyes in an attempt to look like she was in tears. Aurum who already heard from Geo that their master is now also a siscon, tried to control his anger as he smiled. He didn't want to die after all.

"How could I even try to do so my lady, the one who took your first kiss and gave you a brand was Geo wasn't it? And Lars also kissed your cheek. I only acted in a knightly manner by kissing your hand when we exchange introductions."

Aurum long learned how best to avoid being stabbed in the heart, if you cannot evade, block, or parry, the next best thing was to put someone between you and the blade. In other words, throw someone under the bus.

"Geo did what?!"

Tsugu, who felt the hurricane-like calibers behind her knew she fucked up. She started to sweat while turning around. "Nii-sama it is not Geo's fault, didn't all of them lose their minds because you gave them [Husband's Devotion]? You are acting like it's someone else's fault! And how am I going to get married at this rate!"

Hiro who forgot or chose to forget paused for a moment before changing the topic. "Who said you are getting married? I forbid it! He must best me in combat first to win your hand!"

"What the hell?! Do you want me to stay single forever? I want to have a husband you selfish prick!"

"What? You are too young! You are only nineteen! Wait till your like 45!"

"Nii-sama BAKA! Who would want me by then? I would already be an old maid!"

"It's okay I'll take care of you! You have to listen to what I say I am older!"

"You stupid Siscon! I am nineteen years old, how much older are you?"

Hiro then blurted out "I am already 50! You should respect me I am older!"

"[Lightning Knee]!"

Tsugumi then leaped and kneed Hiro in the solar plexus. Due to that point being a natural place that is hard to strengthen, even as system users a sufficient strike would be enough to deliver some damage. Even more so if one used a skill. One at [B] rank would most definitely hurt.

Hiro who didn't expect the strike, got the air kicked out of him. He fell to the ground grasping his chest. Tsugumi then used her hand to raise his face as she whispered. "Hiro, you probably added your ages between lives right? Tell me how old you are in this life only."

"Seventeen."

"Say that again?"

"Seventeen."

"…Mother fucker you should be calling me Onee-sama instead! [Lightning Knee]!"

Tsugumi brutally drove her knee into Hiro's temple which caused both of them to roll on the ground. Aurum who looked at the absurdity of it all laughed out loud. "Master, Lady Tsugumi, If I only met you both today, I would wholeheartedly think you are siblings bound by blood."

Both brother and sister got caught off guard by the man's off-hand comment. Started laughing out loud, then Tsugumi pulled the collar of Hiro towards her and said with a menacing face. "Oy, Ototo-kun I'm fucking serious. Call me Onee-sama right now?"

Hiro who didn't want to be younger said in a quiet voice. "But my mental age is older I was already 33 in my last life. So if you add the total time I lived it would be 33 years and 2 months." The Mitsurugi sister then slammed her head into the reincarnator's head like a delinquent and reiterated. "Call. Me. Onee-sama. Now."

The butcher didn't know if it was only in his imagination but the blows coming from Tsugumi were slowly getting stronger in intensity. And was she always this brash? 'Wait! Isn't aggression a sign of Aura!'

'[Inspect] - Stats and Regalia Only!'

____________

Tsugumi Mitsurugi

Level: 41 | Title: Sword Saint

HP: S | SP: S | AP: A (New)| STR: A | AGI: S | INT : D

__________

Regalia Rating: [Initiate]

Lotus Assimilation remaining: A - 39% (RANK UP)

Ledger Karma: B - 70%

Hourglass Era: B - Root | Branches Remaining: 78

Hiro's jaw dropped at what he saw, his sister not only gained Aura as a caliber but her lotus assimilation dropped from 56% to 39% and as a result, her Rating jumped from C to A!

'What the fuck is going on, how can someone suddenly gain a caliber? Don't you need to unlock it from the get-go? Wait. Didn't I do something similar in my last life?'

"Ototo-kun."

'Yeah, when I got here the first time I didn't have anything. I only unlocked AP, MP, and SP after getting beaten to a pulp by Artorius. Then what about the lotus? Why did it increase just because she wanted to kill the [Forsaken]? Wait… No…'

While Hiro thought, he then remembered something from the church of Eternity

(Antheia's law is 'Remember your past and keep strong their memory for by their sacrifice you were born. Embrace your origin as it will make you whole.)

'Embrace your origin as it will make you whole. Did Tsugu say something about her origin? What did she say again?'

(Nii-sama, we will get stronger. We will create a giant army with the San-Baka and my Onee-samas. No one will harm you so long as I breathe. I wondered why I was granted my strength. Now I know why. I was born to fight for you Nii-sama. And on that day, none will challenge me.)

"Ototo-kun!"

Hiro used his high INT to dissect her statement and meditated on the words linked to Aura.

'Past. Memory. Sacrifice. Born. Origin. Whole. How the hell does her origin and past link into this? WAIT! She said one of those words!'

The man was like a dog who found a scent. He bit on the trails and continued to think up a storm as he followed the clues to the answers he sought.

(…I wondered why I was granted my strength. Now I know why. I was BORN to fight for you Nii-sama. And on that day, none will challenge me.)

"OY! Ototo-kun! Don't ignore me!"

'So finding out your purpose in life is linked to Aura. If one's birth and purpose are tied to Aura, then knowing why and how makes you whole. Then the lotus is your understanding? No. If that was the case people who had long genealogies would all have the highest Aura.'

(Antheia's law is 'Remember your past and keep strong their memory for by their sacrifice you were born. Embrace your origin as it will make you whole.)

Currently, similar priests have the highest Spirit, Aura was a caliber strictly dominated by knights. People thought it was due to Aura being linked to a strong body. But now Hiro believed it was not the case.

'Okay, Let's think about this for a moment. What do all medieval knights have in common? 1. They are arrogant pricks 2. They are skilled warriors expected to adhere to chivalry. 3. They are the minimum rank to entire the Nobility.'

'CALL ME ONEE-SAMA YOU FUCKING PRICK! [LIGHTNING KNEE]!'

Just then Hiro's temple once again got slammed by a powerful impact. It shook the reincarnator's mind like a washing machine. His neck started to bruise from the whiplash. It naturally hurt a lot but as his mind got juggled it allowed him to focus on a different line of thought.
