My Seven Wives in One Body and Me, her Manager-Chapter 69: Comparison of Strengths

In the afternoon at the apartment, after listening to Daisy rant the whole way home to vent her frustrations regarding the six girls from the Willow school they had just met, and after taking a shower and letting Daisy fall asleep—exhausted from the day’s activities and the peak of her emotions finally settling down—Dennis sat on the living room sofa. He didn’t turn on the television, switched off his smartphone, and just sat there in silence without saying a word.

"Sami, you can display the data on those girls from earlier, right?" Dennis asked in his head. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[Of course I can, Master. I will display it for you.]

Immediately, a holographic interface screen appeared in front of Dennis’s face, showing the status of the six girls from the restaurant, complete with their photos.

Dennis was a bit shocked looking at the status of those six girls. Aside from their power being clearly above his friends and himself, there were several special classes similar to his own, Daisy or Gary’s—who held the Barbarian, Samurai and Sword Saint classes—specifically the Necromancer, Ninja, and Paladin.

"Wow... they’re actually pretty strong... it even looks like they might be stronger than Ivan’s team," Dennis muttered in his head.

[Correct. They are indeed stronger than Ivan’s team, but they are on par with your own team. Please, take another look at your team’s current strength after all that training.]

Another interface opened up side-by-side with the one displaying the Willow school’s core team status. Dennis’s eyes widened because, according to his analyze skill, his own power had reached 9,000, Gary was at 8,000, Olivia and Daisy were at 6,500, Jason was at 6,800, and Kimberly was at 7,200.

Dennis glanced back at the Willow core team data once more, then looked at the status of himself and his friends. In terms of overall statistics, the power of the new core team at his school—meaning his own team—was slightly stronger than the Willow core team, and that was without even factoring in the power of Daisy’s six hidden personalities.

"Hmm... why did my friends’ power increase? I thought they couldn’t level up?" Dennis asked, thinking it over.

[They do level up, but the level referred to is normal strength development through training, combined with the fact that they have received several permanent buffs from you. This is different from you, who uses a level-up cheat from simulations and real combat; furthermore, if they are part of your team, you are the one who receives the exp points.]

"Huh... okay, okay, let’s not talk about the cheat. You’re making me feel pathetic, you know? Please open Ivan’s team stats," Dennis said in his head, feeling annoyed.

[Understood, Master.]

Another interface appeared in front of Dennis’s face, forming three screens crowded together. Ivan’s team popped up: Ivan now possessed a power of 8,000, Sasha was at 7,500, Hyunjin—who held the special Spirit Assassin class—was at 6,700, Minji was at 7,200, Brad was at 7,800, and Akira was at 6,200.

Dennis compared the three power levels shown, then he leaned back on the sofa and folded his arms across his chest, thinking hard. In the upcoming sparring match, it was obvious that Ivan’s team would likely lose, especially with Brad’s condition potentially being compromised due to the personal issues he was facing.

"Should I suggest to Mr. Steve that our team be the ones to step up? When is the match anyway? Maybe I’ll just ask tomorrow," Dennis muttered in his head.

[That would be best, Master. Otherwise, the undefeated record will surely be broken.]

"Hmm... alright, let me try talking to Gary first," Dennis replied.

Immediately, Dennis grabbed his smartphone and opened a private chat with Gary. He wrote out his intentions, including a detailed comparison of the power levels between the Willow core team, Ivan’s team, and his own team, so Gary could see the difference for himself. Not long after, three dots appeared at the bottom and vanished, then the three dots appeared and vanished again. It was clear Gary was thinking over his answer and what he wanted to write.

While waiting for Gary’s reply, suddenly, "thud," someone hugged Dennis from behind. He turned to see Daisy number six embracing him and looking at him with a smile.

"What are you doing, baby?" number six asked.

"Just comparing our strength and that girls’ team from earlier... are you awake?" Dennis asked.

"Yeah, just now," number six said.

Then Daisy number six looked forward, her eyes widening as she saw the three interface screens in front of Dennis’s face, displaying the strength of the three teams: the Willow core team, her own core team, and Ivan’s core team. Daisy number six immediately observed them, even squinting her eyes, then she turned to look at Dennis.

"What are you doing, comparing our strength on those screens in front of your face?" she asked innocently.

"Hmm... I’m planning on replacing Ivan’s team to fight them, I’ve already talked to Gary... wait, you can see the interface screens in front of my face?" Dennis asked, realizing that Daisy number six could see and read the interface that was supposed to be his private property.

"Huh... of course, Sami gave us access... me... ah... I mean, me and the others," Daisy number six said, stammering.

Dennis was shocked to hear the words of Daisy number six, who now seemed to have let the cat out of the bag by leaking something Dennis wasn’t supposed to know, as she quickly covered her mouth.

"Sami, can you explain this to me?" Dennis asked in his head, fuming.

[....]

"Oi, Sami, answer me, don’t just stay quiet," Dennis shouted in his head.

[Forgive me, Master, I did indeed give your wives full access because they said there are no secrets between you and them.]

"Grr... why didn’t you tell me?" Dennis asked, enraged.

[Because they are right, Master, it isn’t good for a husband and wife to keep secrets; as a woman, I feel that way and I’ve learned from the case of Bella and Brad, who kept secrets from each other.]

"You’re something else, the proof is that you kept this a secret from me, didn’t you?" Dennis asked.

[I just hadn’t spoken of it... it wasn’t keeping a secret, because Master didn’t ask.]

"You’re pretty good at making excuses," Dennis replied, annoyed, but he couldn’t do anything about it since it was already a done deal.

Dennis shook his head, then he turned to look at Daisy number six, who was standing behind him with both hands covering her mouth; her eyes were fixed on Dennis like someone full of regret, and the green skin of her face was blushing red. Dennis sighed, then pulled number six toward him and had her sit on his lap to look at the interface screens together, wrapping both his arms around her waist.

"So what do you think? I’m planning to take over the fight with the Willow team, replacing Ivan’s team," Dennis said, no longer wanting to make an issue of what just happened, even though he made a mental note that his assistant had already sided with his wife—whether because they both felt like women or because she was just plain scared of his wife.

"Of course I agree, baby, I and the others really want to crush this woman," number six said while pointing at Natasha’s photo on the interface screen.

"I figured as much, you were ranting about her and the others earlier. I already made the suggestion to Gary since he’s our leader; he’s read it because it looked like he was about to reply but stopped, maybe he wants to talk it over with Olivia first," Dennis said.

"Oh okay, I get it, let’s just wait. But seriously baby, I really want to crush her," number six said, pointing at Natasha’s photo once again.

"Just don’t go overboard, okay," Dennis replied, feeling Daisy’s body heating up as it seemed her emotions were peaking again.

"Sorry, for this one, no promises. She just sat right next to you and pressed up against you, acting like I wasn’t even there beside you. And then her friends were all backing her up. I really want to smash them all to pieces, especially that woman," number six said, her body getting hotter as she pointed at Natasha’s photo again with eyes narrowed, ready to kill.

"Okay, okay, I’d better just close the interface. I already sent the data to Gary. Want to eat? I’ll cook?" Dennis replied, closing all the interface screens and looking at Daisy number six, who was leaning against him and turning to look back at him.

"Not hungry," Daisy number six replied, her face starting to redden with a slight pout.

Suddenly, "ding," a notification hit Dennis’s smartphone. Daisy grabbed it from the coffee table and opened it. Dennis read it; it turned out Gary had sent a message to their group.

"Olivia and I are in... especially Olivia... let’s just wait for Jason and Kimberly to weigh in first, Den," Gary said.

However, before Dennis could even reply after Daisy number six handed the phone back, a message popped up.

"Of course Jason and I agree. We’re stronger, and I’m ready to crush those damn women," Kimberly messaged, probably while shouting.

Then three dots appeared at the bottom for quite a while. Shortly after, another message came in.

"That’s what she says. I’m down, man," Jason said, sounding resigned.

"Alright, I’ll talk to Mr. Steve tomorrow. Let’s protect our school’s record," Gary replied, closing out the group chat.

"Yeah," Kimberly and Jason answered simultaneously, followed by Dennis.

After that, Dennis put his smartphone back on the coffee table and turned to look at Daisy. He was startled to see that her face had already shifted back to the primary Daisy; she was wearing a sinister smirk as she turned to look at him. She gave Dennis a kiss, and after pulling away, she spoke.

"Thanks, honey. You’re so understanding, letting me vent my emotions," Daisy said, hugging Dennis while leaning against him and sitting in his lap.

"Okay, you’re welcome," Dennis said. "Damn, I didn’t think at all about how if my wife gets mad, she could go on a rampage and do something reckless like before... I made the right call, didn’t I? Man, I hope they don’t end up staining the school’s name instead of defending its reputation. I hope nothing goes wrong later," Dennis muttered in his heart.
