章 94: There's Something Wrong With This Guy

Pale golden hair flowing rigidly like a ferocious beast. His eyes emitted a sense of confidence and authority. There's a pair of animal ears on his head. Judging from the style of his hair resembling a mane, he must be one of the lion species beastman race.

This man who just forced himself to their room glanced around the place with cold and prideful expression. The moment his eyes landed on the girls, especially Asami, his face became stiff as his eyes widened, he couldn't remove his eyes from her.

Long and tender raven hair similar to the radiant night sky. Her skin is so flawless and holy like a snow as she donned an elegant white dress like a noble young lady. There's no need to describe how beautiful her face was, perhaps the most beautiful he ever seen before. If someone told him she's the manifestation of Eisha herself, he would believe them without doubt.

When he heard about this group from one of his henchmen, he was feeling skeptical. He already went through a numerous kind of women, what kind of being could mesmerize his beyond developed taste? For him, there's no one truly worthy to receive his affection. All women are nothing but entertainment, there's no one he couldn't get a hand on. For him, only the goddess herself could satisfy his desire.

And yet, the sight in front of him completely turned that perspective upside down.

He desires this woman more than anything.

Haruto's group there was perplexed by the sudden intrusion and from the unfriendly demeanor the intruder gave, they reflexively put on their guard. For some reason, they could feel intense repulsiveness against the unfamiliar beastman in front of them. Asami was especially feeling goosebumps seeing his aggressive eyes on her.

"What's your business coming here like that?"

Kaori asked with cold voice and expression.

Her question made the man turned his gaze on her and he couldn't help but feel she's also a supreme beauty on par with the girl before although in terms of elegance she's a bit lacking compared to the latter. But that's only because she's younger than the other one, otherwise even he would have a hard time on choosing who's the better one according to his taste.

Still, there's no way he abandoned such a growing diamond. The more he has the better it was, for a man with his caliber it's only natural to possess everything. At least that's what he thought of.

Now that he's looking to the other girls, he could see they were all far above the women he played before. This truly made him delighted, now he really wanted to reward that boot-licker for giving him this kind of information. He secretly licked his lip in anticipation of the time he would enjoy such exquisite cuisine.

Even though he was skillfully hiding his filthy thought, he couldn't deceive the group's eyes. They immediately frowned in disgust as they sensed the obscene intention as if their entire body was crawled by countless insects, it made them almost puke.

"I only have one business here."

The lion man said as he approached Asami.

"You, become my wife."

"....What?"

Not only her, everyone was dumbstruck by his out of nowhere proposal. Their eyes widened as they looked at the man incredulously. The way he said it was sounded so natural and casual as if he was walking on a park. His eyes and face showed no sign of apprehension as they glowed with powerful pride.

"You, what are you talking about?" Selianna asked.

"Don't worry, you can all become my concubines too. Although I can't choose spouses carelessly but I specially reserved those spots on you. There's no need to worry though as father will definitely agree once he saw all of you."

"...."

Is this guy serious?

No one there wasn't speechless by his beyond arrogant and narcissistic tone.

It was as if they're the one squirming in joy becoming his spouses and his proposal is like an offer from a heavenly god. Even Haruto was tongue-tied despite seeing various kind of arrogant man. Just who the hell he think he is? Not even gods were as arrogant and shameless like him.

This is too absurd! There must be something wrong with him!

By now, not to mention anger and disgust, their mind was instead filled with pity and sympathy as if looking to a seriously ill person.

Asami moved to Haruto's side and whispered,

"Hey Haru, this guy's sickness is even much worse than you during early middle school."

"Don't compare me with him, I'm just a little too imaginative at that time. He's the true chuunibyou here." Haruto furrowed his brow feeling irritated.

"S-So this is also one of those chuuni cases huh...." Kaori joined with impressed look.

"I-It's quite something indeed..." Elsie nodded.

"Haruto-nii, what's a chuuni?" Fia asked innocently.

"Ssh, it's a delicate subject, Fia-san. It's a very severe illness often infected a young teenage boys but in rare case it could also infect a fully grown man like this one here." Rikka explained with serious manners.

"Mu? This is the first time I ever heard of such illness. What an eye-opener." Selianna was enlightened.

"But what should we do about him? I'm bad at handling these kind of people." Haruto asked.

"Don't look at me, just taking care of you in the past is already more than enough." Asami protested.

*Psst* *Psst* *Psst*

They continued to whisper on each other, completely forgotten about the guy in question with his face twitching seeing their behavior on him.

"Ladies, now that you're my fiancees, you shouldn't get close to a man other than me. Perhaps you're confuse because this came out of a sudden but you shouldn't neglect your husband like this."

The group stopped their whisper and turned their head on the man.

"*Sigh* We're feeling very tired already so mind leaving us alone? We don't have time to play along with your fantasy." Haruto rubbed his temples while sighing deeply. His current condition still could be said as the worst and dealing with a troublesome person is the last thing he wanted.

"...What did you say?"

*Crack* *Crack*

The lion man narrowed his eyes fiercely as he let out a strong pressure causing the room to tremble as the air became suffocating. His body was lit up by a glowing golden aura, a bit darker in color compared to Haruto in Super Saiyan state.

Instinctively, the group entered battle state and drew their respective weapons. The atmosphere turned very tense in an instant. Haruto was very shocked to feel the power the man let out, it's even above his own.

"Ah, I see. Based on your appearance you must be the guy the emperor of Human empire sent right? To think my wives are in your group this is really unexpected. But now that I see what kind of guy my opponent is, I can't help feeling disappointed, you're just a trash."

His eyes squinted looking at Haruto's feeble figure because of the pre-Growth state. Naturally, he wouldn't know about this so he thought Haruto was in his usual condition. He already heard of the characteristic of his opponent from the letter sent to his father by Zelrigth.

"What? Opponent?"

Haruto was stunned hearing something he couldn't ignore of. This man just mentioned about Zelrigth and the matter of him fighting against the warrior of his acquaintance, the main reason Haruto participate in this tournament. He was very surprise because he didn't see this man's figure during the assembly before.

'So he is....'

Once again he observed the man in front of him. Putting his arrogance and prideful demeanor that was beyond absurd aside, the fact he possessed extraordinary power is true. For the current him, he was at a disadvantage.

"Since you don't even have the qualification to fight against me then I guess it's better if I get rid of unnecessary nuisance right here and now." The lion man said as the aura began fluctuating in a dangerous way.

Haruto's expression turned grim because he's very powerless right now. If he had to fight his opponent in his current state, it was even more hopeless compared to fighting Yomi. This man truly came at the worst timing.

Kaori already started to release her power. She's fully aware of Haruto's inability to fight at the moment. That's why she had to be the one protecting the group during this time. The problem is that she's not sure if she could defeat her enemy even if she went all out.

Her power indeed raised quite significantly after going back from Tartarus and was actually became stronger than Haruto himself albeit only temporary considering he was going through a Growth soon. But still, whether it was enough or not is still unknown because she's not familiar with her opponent.

"Hey Erick, what are you doing!?"

At this time, a loud angry voice came from outside. The moment the lion man hears this voice, his expression became vexed and the aura he let out vanished in an instant. He guessed the tournament staffs must be reporting his action.

"You're lucky this time, I'll let you off for now. And as for my beautiful wives here, I'll pick up at later date." He clicked his tongue before smiling in a arrogant manners to the girls and they frowned feeling nausea.

The man didn't pay attention to their reaction and left the room swiftly leaving the group in a bad aftertaste.
