Chapter 60
Karen, who had been crying tears of emotion in my arms, suddenly looked at me as if she had realized something.
I had repeatedly said that I didn’t want to do anything like becoming a hero candidate. She must have realized that our parting was drawing near.
“Oppa?”
“Noa said it, right? Those who fail are one thing, but someone who passed and gained the qualification isn’t allowed to simply throw it away at will.”
“Yes. Those who pass are obligated to take Melbrit’s entrance examination. Though it is called an examination, those who complete an emergency mission only have to undergo a relatively simple interview.”
“What happens if I refuse?”
“If it is judged that there are unavoidable circumstances, they will take them into consideration. If you wish, I can go in your place and inform them of your absence.”
Karen hugged me tightly, as if pleading for something.
I got hard again because of these infuriating tits. When my cock touched her thigh, Karen pressed her body even closer to mine.
“Karen?”
“Oppa. Can’t I go with you? I want to keep being your cock sleeve. I don’t want to part like this.”
Karen clung to me with her soft, lewd body and begged.
Could I really refuse her anything? But this matter concerned my safety, so I couldn’t make an easy decision.
“We’re going to discuss what to do about that from now on.”
“I’d rather remain your cock sleeve than part with you…!”
“Don’t rush.”
I fondled Karen’s tits.
Karen really was an excellent cock sleeve. Even after the suggestion I had engraved into her with Trigger—that she was obligated to take care of my sexual needs—was解除
the suggestion remained in Karen’s subconscious, allowing me to turn her into such a splendid cock sleeve.
After putting so much effort into her, I had no desire to implant the boring suggestion that she should suddenly quit being a candidate and remain by my side forever.
It would be arousing if Karen became pregnant, stood before me with her swollen belly, and declared that she would give up on becoming a candidate. But if I made her quit immediately through hypnosis, there would be no meaning to it.
“You achieved your long-held dream, so you should at least give it a try. My circumstances are a separate issue.”
“A separate issue?”
I sat Karen on my lap and made her face the others.
I slipped my arms beneath her armpits and fondled her breasts as though they were my own chest.
“Oppa……”
As the women’s gazes bore into her, Karen seemed to belatedly feel embarrassed and squirmed.
“Stay still. As befits a cock sleeve, soothe my loneliness while I talk.”
“Uh, okay.”
Only then did Karen relax.
“Before getting to the main point, there’s something I need to tell you all. I’m someone who came from another world.”
“Another world?”
Isti blinked.
“With Bella’s help, I was able to come to this world. That’s why I have Bella’s blessing, and one more thing. I have the qualifications of a goddess’s agent.”
Isti must have had some idea already. She showed no outward sign of agitation.
“So Lord Dekal was a legitimate hero after all. That is a very surprising fact.”
Noa didn’t seem particularly surprised, but she quickly understood what I was trying to say.
“I’m not legitimate. I tricked Bella and came here through a loophole.”
“So that is why you intend to throw away the qualification you obtained with such difficulty.”
“You understand just from hearing this, right? It means I’d be in an uncomfortable relationship with that legitimate hero if I ever met them.”
Meeting them by chance would truly be unavoidable, but
if I walked to the holy city myself, entered a place called a hero school, and formed a strong connection with the hero, then nearly every problem that arose when I met the hero would become my fault.
“I never imagined Oppa was a goddess’s agent……. Though I suppose I did wonder if that might be the case.”
“If Lord Dekal awakened his talent and fought against the demon army, he would be a great help to humanity.”
“Noa. That’s not it.”
“Pardon?”
“I want to leave all that sweaty work to the hero and live comfortably while having sex with pretty women!”
“……”
My frank confession left everyone speechless.
Only Bella, who had been watching the situation, laughed with her laughter muffled.
If Bella was laughing at my clownish appearance, Isti smiled gently as if she understood.
“That’s so like you, darling. Do everything you want, darling. I’ll help you.”
“Noa. Did you despise me?”
“I had anticipated it. What I said just now was merely my personal hope.”
Even though her eyes were covered by a blindfold, I felt Noa’s gaze stabbing painfully into me.
“If you intended to contribute to humanity, there would be no reason for you to refuse becoming a candidate.
Once they become students of Melbrit, students receive every kind of support so that they can devote themselves entirely to developing their abilities.
That is why it is praised as ‘the Deitun Kingdom possesses a spring overflowing with golden talent.’”
“Those talented people are tempting.”
Couldn’t I just pick out the pretty ones?
“If what Lord Dekal wants is to have many women under his command, becoming a candidate is not a bad choice.”
“That’s right!”
Karen repeatedly nodded her head in agreement.
“Although having the kingdom’s valuable talents become Lord Dekal’s concubines would be a great loss, since it would mean losing forces that could oppose the demon army.”
While Isti sweetened her words, Noa held nothing back.
My already scant conscience was being pricked painfully.
“I am Lord Dekal’s bitch. If you wish it, I will work. In whatever form Lord Dekal desires most.”
“You’re dependable.”
“If I may add, entering the hero school does not necessarily mean that you will be able to meet the hero.
The hero is still fighting on the front lines with the survival of humanity at stake, so they only rarely visit the school.
Furthermore, the number of people selected as members of the hero’s party is extremely small…….”
“So under ordinary circumstances, I wouldn’t meet them at all?”
“That is correct.”
“But the problem isn’t that simple. Bella, explain this.”
Bella, whose eyes had even filled with tears from laughing so enthusiastically, caught her breath and spoke.
“The hero isn’t the problem. The existence of two agents in a single world is strictly forbidden by celestial law.
Master and I broke that law, and if the god who governs this world finds out, they’ll be absolutely furious.”
“……”
Everyone seemed to accept that the situation was quite serious.
They must all have realized that if I might incur a god’s wrath, then even considering this was an incredible luxury.
Ordinary people would never go somewhere where there was even the slightest risk of incurring a god’s wrath.
“It does vary somewhat depending on what rank that god is, but if gods fight one another, that world becomes uninhabitable.”
“What, Bella? You were that powerful?”
“……What do you think gods are, Master? They all possess at least one incredible divine power. I haven’t been a god for very long, so I don’t know what powers the other gods possess, but I’m certain that at the very least, a world-ending catastrophe would occur.
Do you understand? This isn’t something I can grant just because my cock sleeve begs for it.”
“……”
Karen grew dispirited and drooped her head.
“Don’t discourage our cock sleeve.”
“This isn’t something a mere human should be involved in to begin with.”
“But I’m a mere human too?”
“What mere human turns a goddess into a visible slave?”
She had a point.
I wasn’t a mere human.
“Bella said that the moment I encounter the hero, the goddess will also notice my existence. Is that right?”
“That expression is somewhat misleading. More precisely, regardless of whether you meet the hero, gods can perceive one another’s existence.
Even if they are in different worlds, they can detect one another as long as they are within the harmonious realms ruled by the gods.
That’s how powerful it is, so if traces of a god are discovered in the same world…… You understand what I mean, right? You realize it whether you want to or not.”
“Then what did you mean by saying that I would recognize the hero?”
“It’s similar to the gods. The agents of gods can sense one another.”
“I see.”
To sum it up, when goddess’s agents encounter one another, they can recognize each other.
I had Bella’s favor, while the other had the favor of this world’s goddess, so
the gods would become aware of each other. That seemed to be what she meant.
“So the right answer is not to go anywhere near this so-called hero school.”
Hmm…….
No matter how much I thought about it, that seemed right.
Wasn’t it perfectly fine to continue living a leisurely life as an adventurer?
“As expected, the risks are far too great compared to what I’d gain.”
It was unfortunate that I couldn’t go meet all the beautiful girls who would be at the hero school, but
I supposed I had to give up here.
Unless I had some basis for standing against a god. Even if I had Bella fight in my place, it would still be a problem. If this world became uninhabitable, everything would be completely backward.
“If it’s dangerous for you, darling…… I also think it would be better not to go.”
Perhaps mindful of Karen, Isti spoke carefully.
“Yes. You can find women capable of satisfying Master elsewhere, after all.”
“There’s also a source of anxiety no less concerning than a god’s wrath.”
“……There’s something like that?”
Bella asked back.
“Yes. If they’re a hero, they’re much stronger than me and have an incredibly high level, right?”
“Of course. There’s no way a hero who seriously fights to save the world would be weaker than Master.”
Even if I hypnotized the hero, something could go wrong, causing the demon army to kill them and advance.
“If the hero received the goddess’s help and became hostile toward me, there would be chaos.
I’d die, and my women would become the hero’s lovers, right? It’s horrifying just to imagine!”
“Huh? Darling. What are you talking about?”
“If I died, wouldn’t the women flock to the handsome, powerful hero?”
“……?”
What was this? Everyone’s reactions were strange.
“Why do you all look like that? Is the hero interested in men or something?”
“Darling. The hero is a woman.”
“What!?”
“If you came from another world, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t know, Lord Dekal.”
The hero was a woman?
“No, I mean, she fights on the front lines against the Demon King’s army. Even if she were a woman, I assumed she’d be some hulking giant covered in hair from head to toe and standing over two meters tall.”
“That is not the case. The Hero is the most noble and beautiful person in the kingdom—a beauty compared to the most dazzling jewel.
It has been ten years since she was summoned to the Kingdom of Deitun at the age of ten. By now, at the tender age of twenty, she is a hero among heroes who has repelled the Demon King’s army more than a hundred times.”
The most noble and beautiful…?
I desperately tried to come up with an excuse in my head.
“Th-That’s just an exaggerated rumor, isn’t it? Right, Iseuti?”
“……I’ve seen the Hero in person before.”
Iseuti began speaking with a meaningful expression.
“You have?”
“She was so mysterious and beautiful that someone like me was nothing by comparison.”
“Aaargh!”
I clutched my head and screamed.
“O-Oppa!?”
“How am I supposed to hear that and not go? Bella. Do you want to die? Why didn’t you tell me the Hero was a woman!”
“……I thought you knew.”
Bella spoke as though she couldn’t believe me.
“Master, don’t you remember? When you were choosing which world to transfer to, you emphasized a few things to me. You said you wanted to go to a world ‘with an exceptional number of extraordinarily beautiful women, where people don’t fight among themselves, and where you could live a reasonably comfortable life.’”
“You meant that to include the Hero too?”
“Even if she wasn’t specifically included, a lot of female souls with beautiful appearances were flowing into this world.”
Was one’s appearance determined by the soul from the very beginning?
“The Hero’s soul was extraordinary.
I don’t know who made her their agent, but it was a noble and beautiful soul. Everyone firmly believed she would become a goddess someday.”
“Ggh…!!”
I wanted to hypnotize her.
I wanted to go find her right away.
“What’s gotten into you? Surely you’re not thinking of overturning everything we’ve discussed just because the Hero is beautiful?”
Bella said it jokingly, but I maintained a serious silence.
“Even for you, Master, you can’t possibly be that lecherous……”
“This is a matter of grave importance! From now on, I won’t be able to sleep because I’ll be wondering what the Hero looks like!”
Bella looked at me as though I were a bug.
“Ugh. Master, you’re seriously disgusting.”
“We have to find a way to win over a god. How likely is it?”
“……Assuming you don’t attack them upon your first meeting, there is a fairly good chance.”
“Isn’t that too reckless? No matter how powerful Oppa’s magic is, I don’t think it would work on a god.”
Of course, I intended to win the god over with hypnosis.
Everyone except Karen, who didn’t know about hypnosis, must have understood what I meant.
“Right. It’s not as though they all split their consciousness into avatars like Bella, are they?”
“It’s not a conscious entity. I divide my consciousness and turn it into an avatar. I can tell when I meet them face-to-face, but…… I wonder if things will really go that smoothly.”
“If things don’t go my way, I’ll threaten the god. Using the Hero as leverage.”
“That’s such a Master-like idea.”
“You said they’ll notice if they meet me directly. In other words, we need someone to arrange a situation where I can be alone with the Hero, so I can get to work immediately.
Someone suited to such a covert operation would be……”
“I am the ideal candidate.”
Noah stepped forward as though she had been waiting for this.
“You’ll be luring the Hero into a trap. Can you do it? For my sake.”
“I will. I shall prove my loyalty. I am Lord Dekal’s bitch. I will accomplish anything you desire.”
“Do you want anything in return?”
I asked while fondling Karen’s breasts.
“……I would like to receive clothes that Lord Dekal has worn for at least a day.”
“I can give you something like that right now.”
“Something……thoroughly steeped in Lord Dekal’s scent. M-May I really accept it?”
“Sure. Take it.”
Noah, usually so composed, was unable to contain her excitement.
That was all she wanted? If she asked, I could roll around with her again until we were drenched in sweat.
Then Noah would be intoxicated by my scent, gasping as though she had been injected with some deadly drug.
To me, Noah, who had been ruined by her perverse proclivities, was like a magnificent masterpiece brought to perfection.
“I’m leaving the Hero to Noah. Bella, if the opposing god goes on a rampage, I’ll be counting on you.”
“Good grief…… There’s no helping it. Fine. If Master’s in danger, I’ll rush in. At that point, there’s no need to worry about whether I’m discovered or not.”
“What should we do about Iseuti? She can’t enroll as a student.”
“I……”
Iseuti spoke as though she had made up her mind.
“To help my darling, I’ll enter as a teacher.”
Noah was the one who was surprised by those words.
“The ‘Lofty Hunter’ as a teacher at Melbrit…… You are more than qualified. Everyone will be pleasantly surprised.”
“I can call you by your name now, can’t I? Iseuti. Will you work for me together with Noah?”
“Mm-hmm. From now on, anyone can call me by my name.”
Iseuti suddenly brought up the subject.
“I thought about it after I started dating my darling. From now on, my darling wants to become involved with many people, and I am his woman.
I realized I couldn’t insist on doing things my way forever.”
“……”
I was so moved that I unconsciously stopped fondling Karen’s breasts.
“My first priority is my darling. So I’ll manage to enter society and mingle with people, too.”
“Iseuti……”
This time, Karen hugged me tightly.
“I don’t really understand what you’re saying about the gods and the Hero, but I believe Oppa will do well.
I’m so happy that we’re going to Melbrit together.”
“Yeah. Let’s do it together again.”
“Yes!”
This world felt like a treasure chest prepared especially for me.
Following where my heart led, I decided on my next destination.
