BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155 Wounded Beauty 3
Tsugumi then moved to stand in front of Hiro and kneeled down and made a dogeza.
"Nii-sama, I Tsugumi Mitsurugi thank you for your kindness in letting me join the Mitsurugi family. I vow to protect it at the cost of my all. Please take care of me Nii-sama."
Hiro said nothing and then helped Tsugumi stand up. She then twiddled her fingers as he then asked trying to look uninterested. "Sooo, Nii-sama, now that we are family. Can I please get a hug?"
The young woman then held out her hands and closed her eyes. It looked silly, but Hiro did not miss the slight trembling of his sister. 'She must be scared of being rejected.' Hiro then walked forward and embraced his new sister in a tight hug.
"We are family, Tsugu, you don't need to ask for permission. Just hug me when you want and I will do the same." Tsugumi who never had anyone shown her such kindness before cried silently relishing in the warmth of her new family.
Hiro who checked his Sister's status screen marveled at the result of their interaction.

For some reason changing how she saw herself placed Fregit in her past lives section. Physically her body didn't die, but the system accepted the changes. The next changes were the title section which changed from slave to sword saint.
That could be considered a good thing, but as her original slave owner died, prior to her breakdown it was blank. Hiro gleefully noted the absence of the mentally unstable in the notable traits. Filial meant Tsugumi would do her all for the family as she said for the other one.
'Bro-con… let's ignore that for now. That is better than her hating me.'
A wonderful addition is that Hiro's sister gained two new skills [Sheathed Saber] and [Sword Horizon] both at [S] rank! The reincarnator then checked both skills.

_______________
Hiro became extremely pleased with the new skills, one is an all-out buff for him so long as he is present while the other is an active skill that ignores or rips armor. The combination of both allows Tsugumi to excel in fighting both armored and unarmored targets.
People might ask why Hiro suddenly adopts people left and right well, Rilu needed to do a lot in order to gain Hiro's affection. For Tsugumi, it just felt like they were connected so how. Neither knew why. But both gravitated and felt light around each other.
The Reincarnator knew that it would be impossible for anyone else to enter his heart. His family now had three wives, a daughter, and a sister. 'Right, I need to do better, when we have children or either my sister or daughter marries…. Do they have to marry?'
Thinking of some rotten bastard taking either Tsugumi or his daughter made the reincarnator's blood boil. If anyone could see Hiro's traits just now three entries were added: Siscon, Overprotective, Idiotic father.
Remembering some of the things Hiro noticed on Tsugu's screen, the man began his line of invasive line of questioning. "Tsugumi, I forget to ask why you seem to be knowledgeable about the culture in Japan. You know that Onii-sama is what you call a brother, and know even a dogeza."
"Oh, that's because of my favorite books. They are rich in lore and customs about Japan, some of which I didn't know. For example, I know that using Onii-chan is for perverts, so I call you Onii-sama"
"Really now… what else did you learn from those books? Do tell?"
"Uh…" As the woman remembered the things she read about her mind got overheated and she covered her face with her hands.
"Tsugu, tell me…"
"Promise you won't get angry…"
"I promise I won't get angry…"
"Um, perverted stuff. I mostly read erotic smut novels."
"…."
"But! It's culture! Nii-sama it is done in a way that is tasteful! Tasukete is a masterful writer!"
"? What did you just say?"
"I said it's Culture Nii-sama! It makes people happy it makes the world a bit brighter!"
"No, not that afterward."
"It is done tastefully?"
"No, the last part."
"Tasukete is a masterful writer?"
"The author's name is Tasukete?"
"Yes. I was told he is a hermit living somewhere in the old Gracyeanor empire."
(There is a group that hunts transmigrators. I came here in 4120 years of the Savior, more than a millennium ago.)
"Nii-sama?"
(I don't know the details but supposedly there is a factor that makes transmigrators unique from everyone else. That group hunts transmigrators and extracts their organs or something. They found me as I revolutionized accounting by introducing double-entry accounting.)
"Nii-sama? Are you alright?"
(Do you remember where it is?)
(I do but it's in the old Gracyeanor empire. When I revived a millennium passed and I thought I moved to a different world. The Savior Kingdoms were all so powerful I couldn't imagine how they fell with only a handful of kingdoms remaining.)
"Fuck. I need to speak with Geo. Tsugu, come with me."
Sensing the urgency in his voice the woman agreed immediately. "Yes, Nii-sama"
--------------
Hiro then walked towards Geo location. The man was standing guard on the roof of one of the carriages.
"Geo, come down. I need your input."
The Redhead leaped off the roof and noticed a different air between Hiro and Tsugumi. Hiro who noticed introduced his new sister.
"Fregit Staratelj died in Anvil. I want to introduce you to my adopted sister Tsugumi Musashi. Your mission now includes her, tell Aurum and Lars when you get the chance."
Geo, who both had a wealth of knowledge from the earth and Valorious knew that adopting siblings is a common occurrence. Thus he wasn't surprised about it. Before he could reply, however. Hiro picked him up by the collar above the ground to threaten him.
"Just so we are clear, she and my daughter are off limits. Understood?"
Tsugumi who saw Hiro's overprotective tendencies felt both cherished and alarmed at the same time. He then moved to touch Hiro's hands and pulled them down. "Nii-sama you are overreacting. Calm down. I am fine, please tell Geo what you wanted to ask him."
