Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Surviving is the top goal, think about everything else after you survive. The gunner shot twice more and as expected, missed him both times. No longer intending to wait, the others armed with a bat and knife chased after Hiro.

"Huff, huff, huff. SHIT! What now? Where are the police, they should have heard the gunshots right? Where is the police station again? Fuck, I'm out of shape, come on legs do your best!"

Running as if his life depended on it, Hiro sprinted without minding his stamina as he ran towards his home on pure instinct. From his youth Hiro had plenty of experience getting mugged, fleeing when outnumbered is the best option in most cases.

As the sounds of running footsteps echoed nearer and nearer, Hiro turned his head back only to see the one with a bat swing his weapon.

Hiro knew it was useless to run any further, the man then ducked and tried to roll on the ground. The sound of the bat made as it passed echoed in his ears, the distance frighteningly close.

Pain assaulted him all over due to suddenly dropping to the floor. Dazed Hiro looked around to locate his attackers. He froze in fear when he saw one behind him, his body trembled as the person brought down his knife from overhead. In reflex, Hiro jumped to the left.

"UWAH!"

The clash of metal against concrete rang out as the bladed weapon missed him. Hiro tried to crawl away as fast as he could. The man knew luck would not save him forever.

'SHIT! They intend to kill me! WHAT THE FUCK DID I EVER DO TO YOU GUYS! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE POLICE?! I PAY MY TAXES YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES HELP ME!'

Terror overwhelmed Hiro's mind as he started to lose hope of surviving the night. A foot eventually slammed on his back forcing the air out of him. A bat then slowly came towards his face as he remained still on the ground face first.

"HELP! HELP! HELP ME! SOMEONE! ANYONE!"

Amidst his pleas for help, Hiro heard two more sets of footsteps come closer. The metallic sound of the revolver's hammer cock back soon followed.

'So, this is how I die then? Alone and forsaken. What was the point of my life? I suffered so much hardship and for what?'

As Hiro waited for his execution, a pink light suddenly enveloped him. A pattern like a magical crest appeared on the ground with his body right at the center of it.

In less than a second, the light increased in brightness to the point that everyone present needed to shield their eyes. The bat-wielding figure also separated from Hiro as he quickly stepped away.

"NO! NOT LIKE THIS! HIRO!!!!!!"

The one with a knife suddenly shouted in a female grief-stricken voice. Hiro who heard the voice felt the emotion in it and couldn't understand didn't she and her guys try to kill him? The next moment he opened his eyes, He saw a well-lit room with opulent furnishing like those of medieval castles.

"I have been isekaied? WOW! Guess Truck-kun is on leave or something. Dude, there has to be a less violent way to get me here. I don't know if I prefer dying or the hooded trio."

He then looked around to see a row of knights in armor to the left, and priests to the right. In front of him, was a voluptuous 20-something woman kneeling in a praying position. Her face gorgeous beyond belief, cast a spell on the transmigrator.

The woman had raven black hair, luscious pink lips, and enormous breasts. Wearing a body-hugging dress that emphasized her assets, the skin left uncovered showed both radiant skin and an enchanting face.

Hiro who had nothing but failures under his belt in terms of romantic relationships forgot the near-death experience he just encountered upon seeing her. The beauty then opened her eyes and stood up, she then clasped her hands together and made a pleading voice as she said.

"Hero from another world! Please save me! I need your strength!"

The middle-aged man transmigrator forgot everything else at her passionate entreaty. Hiro robotically nodded his head without much thought.

'If I can help such a beauty maybe she will become my woman afterward? That's what Isekais are for right? Right? BUT HOLY HELL THIS WOMAN IS HOT! ISEKAI FTW!'

When the woman noticed the agreeable demeanor of the summoned hero, she quickly made a lovely smile as she introduced herself.

"My Hero, I am Rhyne Fair Dominii crown princess of the Valorious empire. I have summoned you to help in the battle for the throne. I am the weaker of the factions and will likely lose my life if I fail to win. Please lend me your strength!"

Hiro who knew of the horrors of succession battles from Shoujo manga felt his heart clench. How the world is so cruel to such a beautiful woman? He then noticed a few things.

First, he could understand them without any magic or devices. Second, pulling him here to save the world was considered selfish in most novels. Then isn't Rhyne pulling him for a succession battle even worse?

The isekaied computer programmer closed his eyes to objectively think about his situation.

'Most Isekais show that once the hero is transmigrated until the demon lord is killed, they cannot return. Then what about a succession battle? Will the princess send me home when she is made an empress?

'How close is she to winning? Can I even help her? What skills do I have? I didn't meet any gods on the way here, do I have no skills or an OP weapon?

'In dark Isekais, the hero is slaved from the start or killed after completing his task. I should be careful to not get myself into any troublesome things. Ignoring my will to return to Earth, isn't this girl selfish as hell? I should ask about that first.'

Hiro then opened his eyes and spoke to the princess for the first time. "Princess, can you return me to my world? I will try to help you but I'm just an ordinary person, I'm not sure how much help I would actually be."

Rhyne who seemed saddened by the words of Hiro quickly approached and took his hand and mushed it between her large mountains.
