"Hey... snap out of it."
Seeing Gozuki and his group standing there in a daze, Haruki called out.
To be honest, he felt quite proud at the moment. After all, these girls had been personally trained by him. Watching them perform so brilliantly in front of others—it was definitely a moment of pride.
"Haruki, what should we do with the bodies?" Gozuki asked cautiously.
"Leave them. What, do you expect me to give them a proper burial? We're not planning to stay here anyway. It's already afternoon—let's rest for the night and leave first thing tomorrow."
Haruki had no intention of giving a dignified end to those who dared lay eyes on his women.
"Yes, then let's return to the inn for now."
Gozuki had already thought Haruki was incredibly powerful, but seeing that even the girls around him were far stronger than himself—especially Tsukushi and Pony, whom he had once trained personally—he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. There was no way he could have honed them to that level.
With that thought, Gozuki's respect for Haruki only deepened.
Given the bloody massacre in front of the inn—and the fact that over a hundred corpses still lay strewn across the entrance—most people didn't have the nerve to stick around. Not only had the guests cleared out, but even the innkeeper had vanished without a trace.
Haruki didn't bother being polite. He simply picked a few vacant rooms inside the now-empty inn.
He instructed Gozuki to take Najasho, Green, Guy, and Akame to rest in separate rooms, while he led the rest of the girls to a spacious one at the end.
Seeing this, Green—the brawniest member of the Elite Seven—couldn't help but feel a wave of envy. He was a bit of a skirt-chaser himself, but he knew better than to challenge Haruki. All he could do was stare helplessly as Haruki led the girls inside.
"What are you all doing?"
But just as Haruki and the girls were about to enter the room, Akame—who had been quietly standing nearby—suddenly asked.
As the original story suggests, Akame was a simple girl at heart and a shameless foodie to boot. Her knowledge of basic biology was questionable at best, let alone matters between men and women.
Could it be... they're sneaking off to eat something tasty?
That thought popped into Akame's mind as she watched Haruki lead the group into a single room.
"Huh? So, sister, are you coming?"
Haruki was about to speak, but at that moment, Kurome, who was already halfway into the room behind him, heard Akame's words and suddenly poked her head out, asking.
Hearing Kurome's words, everyone except Akame froze, thinking at the same time, Akame won't really agree, will she?
Actually, Kurome had her reasons for saying that.
You see, Haruki has the body of a True Ancestor Vampire. Not only was he terrifyingly powerful in battle, but his strength in other areas (you know what I mean) was equally overwhelming. Even Tsukushi and Pony, two Progenitor Vampires, sometimes needed to bring in the Meiki sisters—also vampires—just to satisfy him.
Kurome, on the other hand, was only human. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't match up to Haruki. That's why, after Haruki had his fill, he would often display a slightly unsatisfied look. Kurome noticed this every time.
Because of this, Haruki's favorite thing to do at night was run to Tsukushi and Pony's room.
Although Kurome didn't mind sharing Haruki with others, she still felt jealous when she saw this.
Now, in her mind, she was hoping her sister would join in—so Haruki wouldn't have to hold back, and she could probably spend more time with him!
If the others knew what Kurome was thinking, they would surely yell, "Kurome, you're betraying your sister!" Of course, if Haruki knew, he'd definitely give her a thumbs up.
When Akame heard Kurome's question, she immediately agreed without hesitation. She probably thought there was some delicious food waiting for her inside the room and never suspected that her younger sister, who she had grown up with, might betray her.
Seeing Akame's answer, Gozuki couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Haruki is going to take all the women from the Elite Seven!
Thinking of this, Gozuki opened his mouth to speak,
"Haruki…"
But as soon as he started, Haruki's glare silenced him. Yes, even the Prime Minister—his direct superior—had said to follow Haruki's wishes, so what could he do? In the end, Gozuki had no choice but to lead Najasho, Green, and Guy to their rooms to rest.
As for Kurome, the one who had sparked this entire situation, she was now looking at Haruki with a smug expression, as if saying,
"Praise me, praise me."
When Haruki heard Akame's agreement, he felt a surge of joy in his heart and silently gave Kurome a big thumbs up. If Haruki claimed he wasn't interested in the female protagonist from the original story, no one would believe him.
Originally, Haruki had come here hoping to do something he'd always wanted but never dared to act on—something from the novels he used to read in his past life: sharing a bed with someone he loved. But to his surprise, besides Cornelia, he had gained an unexpected bonus.
That night, Haruki tasted every flavor of pleasure imaginable.
And really, when you looked at the women around him—Cornelia, mature and seductive; Gin, elegant and aloof; Nina, bright and lively; Tsukushi, with her doll-like face and ample curves; Pony, forever childlike; and the sister pairs Kurome and Akame—it almost seemed like he'd collected every type of woman there was.
A night of passion unfolded, the room filled with sighs and moans that lasted well into the early hours before finally quieting.
Sunset gave way to sunrise, and in the blink of an eye, morning arrived...
