Chapter 449: Heroine Chapter: Except for Jo [2/2]
She was cute. Although Pixie was only a child, she already took her position as a {Vassal} seriously. Under Robyn's guidance, she might find her wings.
"D, let her through. Lady Vela says it is okay."
"Oh? Wonderful! Now get out of my way! My future depends on this deal!"
'I wonder what she means? Did Darling say something to her? Still, [Whisper] seems ready for battle. It will help me in the future.'
[Whisper] was my latest experiment.
Since sound waves flowed from one direction to another, it meant that everything between the sound source and the listener would hear the sound waves. [Whisper] used {Dampen}, {Announce} and {Sonar} to deny this acoustic principle.
I didn't want others to hear what I was saying. So, similar to what cell phones do, I modified my voice's ability to travel through the air. Harry Evans was instrumental in the development of [Whisper]. I used him to test throwing my voice from a distance.
Some had death resonance, some did not. But it was an excellent way to make someone hallucinate and think they were going crazy.
People normally used sight and hearing to understand the world. How would you react if what you heard made no sense?
My {Fate} {Listen} was severely underpowered compared to the other Sirens. If I didn't try to improve it, I would be left behind.
Not surprisingly, everyone was the same. Fearing that we would end up fighting each other, my sisters and I all tried to improve our lethality for self-defense.
While I was thinking, a series of messages came in on the Siren server.
[OpenCombat: My word. That {Program} is certainly terrifying.]
[BloodOnFire: I agree, this means that Jo can now send death resonance commands regardless distance and obstructions. Truly amazing!]
[MyChildren: The nut job has made another incredible thing. What is its range, Jo? What is its soul mileage? Can it be blocked? You just talked through a wall from over 50 yards away, right?]
[FireInYourHole: Fuck me dead, it would be better to blow your ears off when fighting this nut job.]
[HasNoTagline: I am glad to see that your research has finally bore fruit, sister.]
[AraAra: Would you grant this {Program} to us and Shujin, Jo-san?]
Only Jas and Liv were happy about my new power. Bella and Aki were obviously trying to understand it so they could prepare countermeasures. Robyn and Lilly, instead of defending themselves, just wanted to adapt.
[HePraisedMe: Haha! Of course! Darling wants us to share anyway.]
'Well, I added a hidden function that [Whisper] would destroy your voice box if I said the right keyword. I wonder how long it would take for them to know it was there?'
Then I heard the woman walk in. Lucrecia Deryck. A woman sold as a slave by her family to the Derycks. Because of her superior intellect, instead of supporting the older Derycks, she approached and seduced Vincent.
When the Deryck's were nearly wiped out, Vincent was one of the few survivors. By sheer luck, she became the current matriarch. She was pretty and sexy, but I wasn't worried, because she wasn't darling's type.
"Lady Vela, thank you for seeing me. I was sent here with a mission by my Lord Limitless," she began to explain. She also gave me a tablet.
"I was told to... hieeek!"
Lucrecia fell on her backside. I could understand why. How would people feel if six women suddenly appeared in front of you the moment you blinked?
I didn't even open the tablet and just lifted it up behind me. Lilly took the tablet as she looked at Lucrecia. The amount of digital signals in the air meant that the girls were all hacking the tablet for its secrets. Of course, I did the same.
It was kind of creepy to have seven brides in white dresses all staring at the same thing, absent-mindedly. Like dolls.
"You made this game for my Darling?" I asked in a cold voice.
"Y-yes, my lord was extremely pleased and vowed to make Vincent and me his vassals for it," Lucrecia revealed timidly.
Disappointed groans and curses came from the Sirens behind me. Those who understood what {Vassals} were naturally felt that our Kindred had been swindled.
Darling may have been impulsive, but he was not stupid. However, I must admit that seeing an almost perfect model of my body in a sex simulator was disturbing. However, a part of me was secretly delighted of darling's obsession with me.
"And what are you supposed to say to us then?"
Lucrecia quickly adjusted her sitting position and knelt before us.
"My lord wishes me to negotiate with the ladies. He wants to keep this application and asks that you provide your voice for the game. "
"..."
My sisters and I were stunned at the depravity of our man. He knew this was disgusting, and yet he had the nerve to ask us to participate.
'I hope the girls will soon find him disgusting and leave. That way I can keep my darling to myself.'
"Then go ahead," I said in a cold voice.
"W-what?"
"Darling, he obviously wanted this. Otherwise, he would have killed you. The fact that he didn't break it means that no other man worked on it. And you probably told him that your entire studio would fulfill his every wish. So, he sent you here to plead his case."
"T-That's exactly the case, did you have a listening device or something my lady?"
"No, I do not, it is based on his request and the fact that you are still alive. I could understand his reasons for the things we can use for the honeymoon. But Darling already has me, why would he need to masturbate to pixels of me? So, amuse me. Why should I tolerate it?"
Surprisingly, none of the other Sirens said anything. That probably meant they felt the same way. Lucrecia took a moment to compose herself before explaining.
"Lady Vela. This is reconnaissance. This application would allow my ladies to study the battle and prepare for it."
"Explain." Lilly said coldly.
The absurdity of her words caused the Sirens to emit death resonance. The other Reapers didn't come and try to finish our makeup. That was how intimidating my sisters and I were.
"Um... my ladies, Lord Limitless values you all above all else. This may seem like a good thing, but it would cause him to suppress himself for fear of earning your displeasure."
"..."
How impressive. Forget fear, she understood something we were struggling with.
"My ladies, in this application, my master can do whatever he wants. Any desire he would not dare to express. And I can share this information with my ladies to be used as tactics for night battles.
"If my lord suddenly finds the ladies performing and suggesting the things he secretly desires, it will make him happy. An added benefit is that you can test your plans before you act in real life; we can use the app to see if my lord would be stimulated by it. This is the power of technology."
"..."
"And my lord also has a model in it. Currently it is based on guess work, but my ladies can also use the app and entertain themselves with a John Smith that fits in their pocket."
"Okay...he can keep it," Lilly noted as she blushed.
"Eh?"
"I second that," Bella asked as she coughed awkwardly.
"A Possum in my pocket..." Robyn muttered deliriously.
The others expressed similar approval. My sisters and I had inadvertently been exposed as perverts.
"I see. Thank you, my ladies," Lucrecia said as she bowed.
"How big is your team?" I asked.
"Six women, all of them married," Vincent's wife replied.
"Good enough, I guess. We will work with you on this application. This is a secret, understood?"
"I understand, what do I tell my master?"
I grinned broadly as I replied. "Tell Darling that except for Jo, Vela and the Sirens have all agreed to their perverted desires."
"This Nut job!" x6
'Hey! I wasn't even present! How is it my fault?'
