5 days have passed since I returned to Kenichi's world. Using Navi I checked the situation at Shigure's location, then I had Navi look for Izumi as she often visits the Ryozanpaku to supervise the girls I left there.
I recently discovered another use for Navi, he serves as a package delivery system. Even though Navi doesn't have a mouth, he can eat so I thought to make him eat something like a coin and then make him teleport, that way Navi can take an object inside his mouth to another location as long as the object is smaller than him, like, for example, a box for engagement rings.
In this way I gave Izumi an engagement ring to make it easier to contact her, then I had Navi put two letters in Rachel and Rimi's bags who were at the same school as Izumi.
So I was able to warn them that, although I recovered my memories and now I am Yami's enemy, my feelings for them did not change.
Rimi accepted it easily and was about to leave Yami, but in the letter I mentioned that she should stay in Yami to train, I also gave her a ring.
I didn't tell Rimi that she would be a spy since she is unable to keep a secret, with the ring on I could make Navi move to her location without her realizing it by keeping me informed of the situation.
Rachel, on the other hand, was more difficult to convince, things like magic and rings with special effects would be difficult for someone with a rational mind to assimilate so I only mentioned in the letter that I called an acquaintance to give her the ring in secret.
In the time they were in school Rimi managed to convince Rachel to enter my harem so I only had to accept her so that my system would recognize her as my wife.
It's good that most of the time my system only asks for unconditional affection and agreeing to enter my harem so that women are registered as my wives, although sometimes there are special requirements, it was not the case of Rachel, Rimi, or Izumi so everything progressed smoothly.
Now with that established,k I don't have to worry about the girls' reaction to the news that I am Yami's enemy.
Although I still have lovers that I left at Yami's base and cannot be contacted since there are no women with engagement rings near them, I am not worried since they are all martial artists and Yami would not waste talents, although maybe a couple of they will be furious with me and want to kill me… Nothing important.
Although maybe Jenazad could use them as bait to lure me into a trap, but since I don't have any of those women registered in my harem I can make some sacrifices without feeling guilty.
Now the situation of my group and my location.
I am currently in Russia, in these five days we left Ukraine and moved to the East. It was easy to get across the border without attracting attention after using acupuncture on some smugglers to get fake passports with our skills.
With my knowledge of languages, I became familiar with some underworld people and after cutting off a couple of heads with my bare hands I was able to get a relatively safe place to make a base of operations, although in the process I became the leader of a small gang of gun dealers, normal.
"Mr. Alexander, the shipment is here" - A muscular man with the appearance of a mobster arrived and spoke to me politely.
"Take care of the rest" - I waved my hand and kept looking at various documents.
Using the body control of my Ogre Body I modified my height and body appearance, I also made my voice thicker and my gaze sharper making me look like a 22-year-old western man with a slim complexion and kind appearance, a fitting contrast to my insidious viper gaze.
It was the ideal look for a treacherous mobster and cliche manipulator.
In my homeworld I am used to wearing costumes and makeup to hide my identity when working with the yakuza so having a skill that makes my work easier is nice, although the flaw in this is that when I change my body structure it is difficult for me to use all of it my strength so it is not recommended to use it when I fight, just because I have bigger muscles I won't be stronger, quality is better than quantity.
After meeting the arms dealers I took control of the group, at first they resisted, but after seeing that the bullets could not go through me and that I can split a person in half with just my hand they became obedient.
Most criminal groups follow whoever shows greater strength, but this is more a survival instinct than true loyalty so they are not reliable, but nothing that a little acupuncture on the brain combined with Madness cannot solve, now they are a loyal group of puppets.
"Even though you're mad at Jenazad for brainwashing you, it's ironic that you use him techniques to get helpers" - Mildred smiled wryly as she ate a steak I prepared for her.
As long as my women enjoy a comfortable life I am working like a pack mule, this is unfortunate.
I explained to my group that I remember the techniques Jenazad used with me so I was able to use them to take control of the arms dealers.
At this point I am glad to start my group with women like Mildred since they do not see bad that I use mind control with the traffickers to carry out my plans.
"Although running a criminal group is questionable, looking at it from another angle it helps those traffickers not harm innocent civilians" - Tsubaki sighed as she ate next to Mildred. - "I don't understand, are we the bad guys or the good guys?"
I shrugged my shoulders. - "Good and bad are the same, the hero of some is the villain of others, in the end it depends on how your own actions make you feel, it only matters what happens to those you love and yourself"
From one point of view, I am leading a group of arms dealers as I plan to start World War III.
From another point of view, I am saving innocent civilians who used to be oppressed by traffickers and in the future I will eliminate the need for war conflicts in the world.
In the short term I am a villain and in the long term a hero, it is all a matter of perspective.
"That sounds selfish, I like it" - Izayoi nodded while eating fruit tart.
"Don't talk with your mouth full" - I sighed at the bad manners of martial artists, only Tsubaki knows how to behave at the table.
After giving a shitty explanation full of plot gaps that I didn't even bother to cover, I introduced Tsubaki to my group.
Mildred was the only one surprised that a woman who came from another world could become a weapon. Izayoi and Olivia accepted it as if it were natural since they are simple minded and it gives them a headache to overthink things.
Ignorance is bliss where idiots smile while wise men suffer.
The three women readily accepted my explanation of other worlds each for different reasons.
Mildred felt guilty that she was willing to accept all my bullshit, Izayoi was the embodiment of dependency and Olivia was a baby duckling who followed her mother duck (Mildred) without question.
After giving them engagement rings I taught them my special method of combining Ki Dou and Ki Sei, started teaching them to handle the Hamon, showed them the basics of my Rasen Arts, gave them some black blood and had 'dual cultivation' to strengthen us.
In just five days the three women became stronger than in several months of intensive training at Yami so they are currently eating a special menu that I designed to take full advantage of the nutrients in the food while savoring a meal comparable to the best restaurants in the world although they sometimes have what Navi calls 'Culinary Orgasm'.
"What is the plan for today? Will we continue training? " - Olivia asked curious after finishing eating.
They train all day while I manage the group of traffickers in the mornings, in the afternoons I join them in training to improve my martial arts, at night we have 'meditation' sessions and while they sleep I train arms dealers to become suitable assassins.
"You will train while I go out to meet another group of traffickers to negotiate" - I finished organizing the files that recorded the arms shipments across the border.
If I can control the flow of arms from Russian traffickers, I will be able to start moving to the Middle East to start creating armed militias.
Martial artists do not get involved with armed forces as they see them as worthless inferior forces, which is why I need soldiers to deal with armed forces from other countries.
"Are you going to negotiate civilly?" - Tsubaki looked at me suspiciously.
"I'm always civilized" - I smiled.
It's nice that Tsubaki understands me better and better and yet she is in love with me, although she still doesn't admit it since she is shy.
"..." - Tsubaki sighed. - "I will accompany you, but remember our agreement"
"Okay" - I nodded.
Tsubaki has no problem killing normal humans if they have negative Karma as murderers and rapists, but she asked me not to use her to kill innocent people and I can only use her to kill someone with positive Karma if that person attacks me first.
If I want to kill an idiot with a noble hero complex I will have to make him angry so that he attacks me first to have a justification to kill him, how troublesome.
That reminds me, using Navi I looked at the situation in the Ryozanpaku and I could see Miu and Renka suffering from my absence.
Kenichi did not take advantage of my disappearance to get closer to Miu since the poor idiot is being pushed to the limit by Hayato to make him a suitable successor, I feel sorry for my future stepson, maybe I will get him a girlfriend of no importance.
Honoka (Kenichi's sister) often visits the Ryozanpaku to spend time with Izumi and Shigure, but a clear gap was made with the other martial artists as Honoka and Saori (Kenichi's mother) discovered that I was expelled from the dojo for saving them and killing their attackers.
The best thing is that Saori had an argument with her husband for this very reason and after much passive persuasion from Izumi, Saori began to consider a divorce.
I really need to reward Izumi, my cute crazy girl has been doing an excellent job in my absence, but I am concerned that she mentioned having trained Honoka for me.
I am pleading with the God who never helped me so that Izumi did not do what I am thinking.
"I want to visit Japan ..." - I sighed, now I'm worried.
"Do you miss your friends?" - Tsubaki smiled kindly at me trying to comfort me.
I raised an eyebrow. - "I'm not depressed, I'm just worried that something troublesome will come up"
"Whatever you say ~" - Tsubaki smiled.
"Hey Listen! Tsundere! " - Navi appeared out of nowhere screaming as loud as a fire alarm.
"What is Tsundere?" - Olivia asked confused, since they have rings they can see Navi and share my thought that he is an idiot.
"It is a Japanese term used to describe a person who acts in a cutting or aggressive way when she feels embarrassed" - Izayoi explained gently making my eyelid tremble.
"Oh ..." - Olivia nodded and then looked at me. - "That's a bit cute"
… Tonight I'll drown in vodka.
"I will go to negotiate with the group of traffickers" - I stood up and hurried out of the room for the sake of my sanity, although technically I am already crazy ...
Tsubaki rushed to follow me. - "Tsun tsun ~ dere dere ~ What is it? ~ A Tsundere ~ ♫"
She started humming a song making my migraine worse.
"Is seriously?" - I massaged my forehead wearily.
"Shizuka made the song and I found it funny ~ It's catchy ~" - Tsubaki kept humming.
Oh for God's sake, maybe I should have my eardrums removed.
"Hey Listen! The King of the Harem will be King Tsundere hahahahahaha! " - Navi began to fly in circles around me.
"..." - I sighed heavily trying to ignore the antics of these two.
I'm starting to pray that the arms dealers dare ambush me, I need to vent.

Author's comment:
Well, last week I was busy and also I got sick to my stomach so I could not upload chapters, sorry.
Leaving aside that I almost died from intestinal problems, in a week I will be back to school.
I was looking at my class schedule and luckily I have time for other activities so I was thinking of looking for a part-time job but that would leave me with no time to write so I was thinking of opening a Patre-on with additional chapters.
Currently, I upload 2 weekly chapters of this novel so on Patre-on, I thought to put another 2 to 4 additional chapters, although first I have to learn to use Patre-on that I am very stupid using technology.
I will try to put the cheapest option for the subscriptions but I don't know how much is the minimum that Patre-on asks for. Does someone know?
Anyway, if things don't go well on Patre-on don't worry, I'm writing since it's the only thing that keeps me relatively sane so this novel will remain public and free so I don't want you to feel obliged to donate or buy my work, it makes me very happy to see that you read my work and leave your comments and criticisms.
Finally, I don't know if you English readers would be satisfied reading my work on Patre-on since I have a lot of spelling mistakes and I would feel bad if I am selling you a poor quality product so I would like to know what you think.
Anyway, a hug <3
