Chapter 951: Vacation? 3
A silence fell as Anna"s words registered in everyone"s minds, while the eyes of Velnorah, Violet, Agnes, Carmila, and Natas.h.i.+a gleamed with interest.
Meanwhile, Scathach, Eleonor, and Aphrodite were lost in thought, pondering whether this was the best course of action or not.
"A Human on a battlefield that can be considered a battlefield of the end of the world... I don"t see how that would work," Eleonor offered her opinion.
"We just need to equip him with all the Divine Artifacts we have available, and he"ll be fine, right? After all, he"s extremely lucky," Violet"s eyes sparkled with even more interest.
She was curious how an abnormal Being like Gintoki could influence a war at this level. After all, with any slight mistake, he could be killed. Violet was sure that this abnormal Luck would come into play and cause more damage around.
"Girls, stop treating his life like a game, even though he"s Blessed by an unknown G.o.d. Right now, he"s our ally, and we have no reason to treat him this way," Aphrodite spoke; as a "gentle" G.o.ddess, she couldn"t bear to see an ally treated this way.
"So, we"ll only throw him into that war if we see that he"s absolutely safe."
In any case, Gintoki"s fate had already been sealed.
Violet and Agnes rolled their eyes at Aphrodite"s false gentleness.
"Wouldn"t that be counterproductive? After all, his Luck only activates when he"s in danger, right? As a normal Human, it"s better to let him go without protection," Velnorah suggested.
"That"s terrible no matter how you look at it. If we"re going to use this plan, I suggest at least providing him with armor or some Healing Artifacts to ensure his safety," Eleonor spoke. As a warrior, she was completely against sending an ally into a war without at least the means to fight or protect themselves.
"I agree with Eleonor," Scathach added, sharing the same thoughts as Eleonor.
"Although it was me who suggested this, I say we should not use this plan in a way that intentionally harms Gintoki. Remember, he"s a direct subordinate of Victor, and you know how Victor treats his most trusted subordinates," Anna advised.
The girls fell silent upon hearing Anna"s words. Even though they knew that Victor wouldn"t harm them or anything like that, he would be very upset if his most trusted subordinates were used in this way. The Wives gathered here knew that Victor didn"t mind them using his subordinates in their plans, but he didn"t like it when those same subordinates were treated unfairly.
He valued those who were loyal to him highly, a quality that all those present appreciated.
Upon hearing Anna"s advice, the s.a.d.i.s.tic thoughts of Velnorah, Anna, Agnes, Natas.h.i.+a, and Carmila faded away completely, and they decided not to court the devil"s wrath.
"In that case, let"s seek Gintoki"s opinion and offer him anything," Scathach suggested.
"Agreed." All except Anna spoke simultaneously.
"So, what plan should we use?" Anna asked curiously.
Violet smiled. "All of them."
...
On a beach in Victor"s personal world.
Victor was relaxing, lying on the sand, and beside him was Ruby, who was also lying down but on a beach chair, holding a notebook and watching some kind of anime.
On the other side was Sasha, lying on a similar beach chair. Around the group were Nero and Ophis, using Eve to build a sandcastle on top of her.
A little further away were Kaguya, Bruna, Maria, Roxanne, Amara, and Roberta. They were playing volleyball using only their physical strength, without Magic.
To ensure there was no cheating, Victor had sealed their Powers with his Runes, so they currently had only the strength and endurance of a physically fit Human athlete.
Even though their bodies were like those of athletic Humans, they still had their Dragon Hearts to boost them, so even if they exerted themselves a lot, it would take a while for them to get tired.
That was a characteristic that Victor couldn"t completely seal, considering that the Heart was what kept the girls alive.
"This is the life... I feel my stress and headaches disappearing," Victor smiled as he looked at the beautiful scenery.
"Who would have imagined that you would have migraines and headaches? Doesn"t your physique prevent that?" Ruby asked.
"That"s true, but it"s also true that I haven"t had time for myself in a long time. I"m always solving a problem or fighting, you know? Sometimes, it"s good not to think about anything."
"... Hmm..." Ruby looked at the notebook screen that was playing the anime and then at the scenery in front of her.
Feeling this peace around her, she remembered that the reason she worked so hard was to ensure this peace and to ensure that her Family was never in danger, a goal that was recently achieved with this planet.
Although there was still danger, considering that they were going to a Higher-Level Sector, she knew that this world would always be protected due to the peculiarities of existing within Victor"s Soul.
And with Victor here with them, it technically pinpointed the location of this unknown world throughout the Universe.
"Well, that"s true if we ignore the Primordials, who definitely know how to come to this place," Ruby thought, and she grimaced at the thought of a stranger coming to this location.
Even though she knew that the Primordials wouldn"t do anything unless The Balance was threatened, it still didn"t feel very good.
Deciding not to think about it, Ruby went back to watching anime while sipping her Golden Apple juice. For a few seconds, her eyes were on Amara and Roxanne, who had hair of pure Power. Using her Dragon Eyes, she saw that their hair was made of pure Negative and Positive Energy.
"... wouldn"t that be good materials for making items?" Ruby thought, and the moment she thought that her extraordinary brain went into overdrive.
She would have been completely lost in thought if Victor hadn"t approached her and lightly pinched her nose.
"... Darling?"
"Try not to overthink complex things and just relax."
"Indeed. You need to learn to relax more, Ruby," Sasha said, keeping her eyes closed.
"... Fine," Ruby muttered with a pout. After all, it wasn"t her fault since she did it somewhat unconsciously now. Soon, she went back to watching the anime she had downloaded on her computer.
