CHAPTER 65.5 - NTR to the Shield Hero

(Pov - Ángel.)

Ugh… Listen, Slim.

"What's up, handsome?"

They accepted us into the tournament way too quickly. We basically just gave our names, and that was it.

"Yeah, yeah. Fufu. We got lucky, huh?"

And, well… you know… Don't you think it's a bit too suspicious that they accepted us so fast? They didn't even check if you're powerful.

"Fufu. They probably sensed my immense power just by looking at me. Hahahahaha! I know, I know, I'm amazing. You can call me 'my Goddess' if you want."

It's not worth trying to reason with you.

Ugh. They accepted us into this tournament too quickly. It's illogical. Why would they accept us without first checking if we're powerful? They only asked for our names. This makes no sense.

Slim, we need to figure out why they accepted us so fast. There's gotta be a reason.

"If you've got doubts, figure it out yourself. I need to rest for the fight. I'm gonna sleep in your heart; it's nice and warm."

…That sounded way too weird.

Slim gave me back control of my body, and I sighed. Well, we're almost at the place where the participants rest while waiting for their turn. I understand I'm the first to fight. They asked if I wanted to go first, and Slim said yes. Isn't the order of fighters supposed to be random? This definitely makes no logical sense. Ugh, it's my fault for not researching this tournament first.

Whatever, I'm here now. I'll trust Slim; it's my only option.

I opened the door and entered the rest area.

I feel eyes on me, but I don't have time to socialize. I'll go sit and wait for my turn.

Mmm… No Elves, just humans and demi-humans… Ugh, how disappointing.

I sat next to a girl since the other empty seat I saw was farther away; this was the closest one. I hope I'm not bothering her.

"You've got some guts sitting down without asking permission," the girl next to me said.

"Huh? Do the seats have a life of their own? I don't think so. Why would I ask a lifeless seat for permission to sit? That makes no sense."

Or do they have life? I don't know much about this world or its common sense, so the possibility of finding living seats isn't zero… Do they really have life? I remember meeting some weapons that talked and called me "father" in the dungeon. It was weird, but Slim told me I can communicate with those weapons because they were… well, because they were made from my negative emotions, so they were part of me. So I highly doubt other objects talk in this… Huh?

"Excuse me, miss, what's wrong?"

This girl grabbed me by the neck and pulled me toward her. Why? Did I say something rude?

"Don't think you're our equal! Know your place, plebeian! Add 'mistress' to the end of your sentences when you talk to me!"

"…Uh… Okay… Are you crazy?"

"What?!"

"Miss, if you're feeling unwell, go see a doctor."

"You're dead!"

"Leslien, Leslien, it's not worth it!"

A guy stopped the girl's fist, which was about to hit me.

Seriously, I don't understand this situation at all. I just sat next to her. Did I do something rude?

"Oh, but, my hero, he needs to learn to respect the group of the great Shield Hero!"

…Group of heroes? I heard something about that from Slim. Have they already been summoned? Wow, wow… I'm dead.

If they find out I was summoned by demons, they'll kill me… But is it possible they suspect me? I lack common sense, but I can lie and say I lived far away, in a village cut off from modern civilization.

Yeah, that could work. As long as I don't let slip some weird word from my world that they might recognize, I'll be safe.

"I don't care about that respect stuff, Leslien. Everyone's equally important in this life."

"Kya! Whatever you say, my hero!"

…How embarrassing.

"I hope you can forgive my girlfriend."

I stood up and walked away. The less I talk to him, the longer I'll stay safe.

"Hey, idiot, don't ignore the Shield Hero!"

Another girl?

I turned to look at them… 3… 4… 6 girls around him, looking at me like I'm trash?

What's wrong with them? I'm not understanding anything.

"Sniff, sniff. Ángel, stop."

Seems like Slim woke up. What's she sniffing?

"What's up, Slim?" I whispered.

"Do you smell that? It smells like sex, lust…"

I feel Slim in my nose. Having her inside me is really pretty weird, but I can get used to it.

"Arghhh! I knew it! That guy has 6 girlfriends, and all of them had sex with him last night! Damn bastard, he dares to flaunt his harem in front of our noses! Ángel, I'm taking control of the body!"

No, I'm not lending it to you. We're not doing anything stupid.

The hero is arguing with his girlfriends, stopping them from hitting me. He's a good person. Sorry, Slim, but you're not doing anything foolish; it'll only put us at risk.

"P-Please, excuse my girlfriends; they're a bit sensitive about respect toward heroes and all that."

The hero approached me and offered his hand.

"My name's Leobard, pleasure to meet you."

"My name's Ángel."

We shook hands, and I walked away.

Sorry, hero, you really seem like a good person, but I can't risk them finding out about me. Goodbye.

I sat in the other empty seat and crossed my arms.

"Booo. So boring. I'm gonna go find out more about the hero. Be back soon."

I guess she's gone; I don't feel her in my nose anymore.

It's one of her skills. She can turn invisible for a while and sneak around like a ninja.

Ugh, I hope she doesn't take too long. I highly doubt this tournament will wait much longer to start, and we're first.

I glanced at the hero and his girlfriends.

Mmm… The hero's the only one with black hair… He's not handsome, pretty average, I'd even dare say he's a bit ugly.

And… I don't feel love in them. How do I explain it…? I don't know. Ever since Slim saved me, I've noticed I can feel what others feel. When I see Slim, I feel happiness, and sometimes excitement in her.

If I focus, I can feel people's emotions… Or I think so.

I think it has to do with the negative emotions that returned to me when Slim repaired my body. Is that why I can feel what others feel? A useless power, but at least it helps me know who I can trust and who I can't.

Those women don't love him. I only feel ambition in them… Except for that dog-eared woman; she really loves him.

The others are just using him to gain power and fame. He loves them, but they're just using him. Pretty sad, but I can't warn him. It hurts to see someone as good as him being used, but I can't get involved with heroes. I promised Slim I'd travel the world with her, and I'll keep that promise.

Besides, there's still something I need to figure out, and I can't die until I know the answer… Can I… Can I ever be happy again?

Ugh… I don't know.

•

Ten minutes after she left, Slim returned to my body, dying of laughter.

"Hahahahaha! They sacrificed their virginity to keep the hero from leaving them and to secure a life of luxury, treated like queens! They're disgusted by him! Hahahahaha! Poor thing!"

"Ouch. That's pretty sad. At least the dog girl really loves him."

"Yeah, I gotta admit, their story is pretty romantic. I read her memories, and, ugh, it's worthy of a romance novel."

"Could you tell me the story?"

According to Slim, the hero saved the dog girl when she was about to be sold as a slave, accused of crimes she didn't commit. The hero rescued her and gave her a new life.

And the saddest part is that she had been raped and tortured by a corrupt noble, as she worked as a maid in his house.

For years, she was raped and tortured by him until he got tired of her and accused her of theft.

She lived a life full of sadness and pain until the hero came into her life and made her happy.

The hero brought back her smile, and that's why she fell in love with him. Thanks to the hero, she's happy again. Thanks to the hero, she enjoys life again.

I gotta admit, that's pretty romantic. She's totally in love with him. I wonder if I'll enjoy life if I find love.

"Fufu. Listen, Ángel, let's make a deal. Lend me your body, and I'll give you a massage with a happy ending."

A massage with a happy ending? I know what a massage is, but what's a happy ending? Is it a massage technique? Sounds interesting. I'd like to try it.

"I don't know what a happy ending is, but it sounds interesting. Sure, okay."

"Fufu. I love your innocence. I guarantee you'll love it."

Slim took control of my body and stood up… Oh, she's heading toward the hero. What's she trying to do? I hope she's not trying to provoke him.

"Mr. Hero, let's make a deal. You and I are fighting in the first match, so I'd like to bet with you before the fight starts."

Slim, what are you trying to do…? Ugh, whatever, let her do what she wants. I'll just go along with it. I don't want to limit her life.

Nothing matters to me anymore, so I'll do whatever she wants. After all, thanks to her, I'm free. I owe her my life, so the least I can do is go along with whatever she does. I don't even know if Slim is evil or good, but I'll follow her lead in anything. Nothing matters anymore, and it doesn't matter what she does. This world is doomed to always be at war with demons, so I'm not interested in stopping this war; helping humans is a pointless action on my part.

This world is just a shitty game of the Gods; there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I want to help people, but no matter what I do, nothing will change.

…So… why do I want to save Sol? Saving her won't change anything; more demons will be captured and suffer. It won't change anything.

I don't know… I don't even know what I'm doing.

I know nothing… The best thing would be to just go along with Slim until I find something that motivates me to keep living. For now, my only reason for living is to stay by Slim's side and travel the world with her, but that's my only reason. Slim is the only thing that motivates me…

I… don't know what I'm doing.

"Hahahahaha! It's a deal, idiot! Get your diaper ready! Hahahahaha!"

The laughter of one of the hero's girlfriends snapped me back to reality.

"I hope you don't regret it. Sign here."

Huh? Oh, I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't hear the deal they made.

Slim created a paper with her magic, and all the hero's girlfriends signed, including the hero.

"Ugh, this is ridiculous," the hero said.

I don't understand anything.

"Thank you very much. Get your protection ready; my stamina is pretty high."

…Stamina?

Slim, what did you do?

Slim returned to the seat and gave me back control of my body.

"Slim, what did you do?"

"Didn't you hear me? No wonder you didn't complain."

"What did you bet?"

"Fufu. If I lose, I'll dance through the streets wearing a dirty diaper on my head."

"…What?"

"And if I win, I'll have sex with all the hero's girlfriends while he watches!! Hahahahaha! It'll be so satisfying!"

Ugh, you're crazy, Slim.

But I'll allow it. I promised I'd lend you my body for sex, and I'll keep my promise.

Not keeping my promise would only make me a liar, and liars are hateful… and I don't want her to hate me.

"Fine. Except with the dog girl. That one really loves him."

"Yeah, yeah, okay. Fufu. I'm fine with the others. They're not bad at all. Plus, they treat us like crap. It'll be so satisfying to make them mine! Hahahahaha!"

You were definitely a perverted old man in your past life, Slim. It's not normal to be this perverted.

Plus, I also suspect you're evil. Not evil like a villain, but enough to manipulate some girls into having sex with you. Does that count as rape? In this case, no, since they accepted the risk and judged us without knowing us, and a bet is a bet, and they even signed a magical contract. It was their choice… That was a magical contract, right?

"But do you think they'll keep their word?"

"Fufu. The contract they signed is magical; if they don't follow through, they die."

Ugh… Whatever.

•

•

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fight is about to begin!! The bets are closed!! Final result, 10/0, in favor of the hero!!"

Seriously, no one bet on me? I know I'm a nobody, but have a little faith.

Wow, there are thousands of people in the coliseum stands… booing me.

Hey, you don't even know me… Well, yeah, I'm weak, but Slim is powerful. She knows how to fight… I think.

I hope so.

We're about to fight… Well, Slim's about to fight a hero using my body. I wonder if she's powerful enough to beat him. I'd rather die than dance through the streets with a dirty diaper on my head.

"Slim, I'm gonna kill myself if you lose."

"Fufu. Don't worry, handsome, I won't lose."

I won't give Slim control of my body until the fight starts; that's the order I have. Why? I think it has to do with bloodlust or warrior spirit or something like that. He won't feel I'm powerful if I don't want to fight, and since Slim's the one fighting, I'm not preparing to fight, so he'll think I'm not a threat.

"Last chance. Please, surrender. I don't want to kill you by accident. I still can't control my power 100%. You don't have to fulfill the bet, it's not necessary, but please, surrender. I don't want to kill you," the hero said.

It's true, killing opponents is allowed. Ugh, this world is too savage.

"No, but thanks for the offer. I appreciate it."

"I… I'm so sorry, but I won't lose."

A green armor appeared over his entire body. The Shield Hero specializes in defense. It'll be tough to penetrate that armor.

Slim, how do you plan to beat him?

"Lose already!"

"We already know the result; move on to the next fight!"

"We're tired of seeing the heroes win!"

Hey, have a little faith in me… Or are the heroes really that powerful? I guess I'll find out soon.

"Are you ready?!"

"Yes, miss, I'm ready," I replied to the announcer.

"I'm ready," the hero replied.

"Alright! In three, two… One!!"

•

•

"Please forgive me for…"

The hero thought he'd defeat Ángel without any difficulty, but his confidence vanished with Ángel's move. Sensing the sudden change in Ángel, his body filled with terror, and his own instincts warned him of the danger Ángel represented… or rather, the danger Slim represented.

Upon giving Slim control of his body, she immediately gained momentum and, with a single leap, charged at the Shield Hero.

The hero created a massive, powerful shield in front of him, a shield no one had ever managed to scratch, but Slim shattered it with her fist, effortlessly, leaving the hero in shock, as it was the first time this had happened.

Slim's speed didn't falter, completely destroying his armor with her own body, as if it were mere glass, leaving the hero without any protection.

Without wasting time, and with simply incredible speed, Slim positioned herself behind the hero, who had been sent flying by her attack.

She lay on the ground and, with her feet, struck the hero's back, sending him soaring upward. While he was still reeling from that attack, Slim hit him every 0.1 seconds on his body, using her own fairy magic to fly with invisible wings, allowing her to strike him as he flew upward.

And when the hero lost momentum and began to fall, Slim smiled and raised her hands while floating above the arena.

"Earth magic!!"

The ground beneath them began to tremble, and a massive rock of earth emerged from the sand.

The hero crashed into the rock as he fell, but gravity did its job, and he fell again, right into the crater left by the rock.

The hero no longer had the energy to hold onto the rock to avoid falling. He couldn't move anymore. Each of Slim's strikes had broken his bones and damaged his magical power, leaving him unable to use magic.

"W-What?" the hero's girlfriends said, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Everyone fell silent, unsure of what had happened, as they never expected the hero to be defeated in seconds by a nobody.

"Hope you enjoy what you'll see tonight!! Meteor!!"

She launched the rock, the size of the arena, at the hero, leaving him terrified, wetting his pants in fear of dying.

"N-No…"

The massive rock crushed him completely, and Slim landed on the ground, raising her arm in a sign of triumph.

"I won!!"

The ground began to tremble, and the hero emerged.

"Come on, hero, beat that idiot!!" his girlfriends shouted, believing the hero had escaped on his own.

The rest of the audience thought the same, so they began cheering for the hero, but when they realized the truth, their cheers stopped.

Earth chains bound the hero by his legs and arms, and those chains were controlled by Slim.

She approached the hero and placed her hand on his chest to apply healing magic.

The reason she didn't kill him was because Ángel forbade it, as he wanted to avoid trouble with human rulers. Killing a hero would make him an enemy, but defeating him and leaving him alive would make him seem powerful, not an enemy.

"Mmm… Done, I healed you enough to let you talk. Tell me, do you surrender, or should I kill you? I'll give you 5 seconds. 5… 4… 3…"

"I-I… surrender."

"What? Say it louder; I didn't hear you."

"I-I surrender."

Slim gave him a hard slap to humiliate him further.

"Say it louder!"

"I-I surrender!!"

"Fufu. Much better. Come with me."

Slim grabbed him by the leg and pulled.

The hero fell to the ground, and she walked away, dragging him.

"Hey, bitch, announce my victory already!!"

"T-The… T-The… The winner of the first round is Ángel, 'the mighty unknown'!!"

"Fufu. Hope you enjoy what you're about to see," Slim said to the hero with a mocking smile.

"N-No… Don't do it," the hero said, knowing exactly what that meant.

Slim looked up at the hero's girlfriends in the stands.

They stared at her in terror, and Slim simply licked her lips and winked at them.

"Perfect," Slim said, smiling.

(Pov - Ángel.)

…

…

…

Ugh…

…

Ugh… Well… What can I say? At least Slim didn't have sex with the dog girl, but I felt so much sadness seeing the hero crying while his girlfriends had sex with Slim.

That was the only part that made me sad; the rest didn't. They don't love the hero, so I don't feel too bad about that part.

The hero screamed and begged Slim to stop, but I think that only turned her on more and prolonged the duration. Slim had sex with the hero's girlfriends and didn't care about their complaints or the insults she received; she kept having sex with them until… well… until they started enjoying it and begging for more. They even dared to say Slim was way better than the hero and that she… well, that I was bigger. That completely broke the hero's mind and destroyed his pride.

From what I understand, Slim has a ton of experience with sex and knows women's weak spots in their private areas very well. I was surprised she managed to make those rude girls act submissive with her.

I can still hear the hero crying in my mind and… ugh… His girlfriends insulted him and broke up with him. They called him a crybaby, a coward, less of a man, and a ton of other insults while Slim had sex with them in front of his eyes. They probably did that to gain Slim's trust and have her replace the hero for them. Sorry, girls, but it's a hard no. I hate you; the hero didn't deserve all that pain. Slim, you went too far, but a bet's a bet.

And since she can't control my body for too long, she asked me to have sex with them while she rested to take control again, but I refused. While she rested, I forced the girls to have sex with each other, using the excuse that it turned me on. A necessary lie so they wouldn't suspect me, and the contract specified they had to do everything I ordered, so they had to do it.

Ugh, it was pretty sad seeing the hero try to talk to me to get me to stop, but I just ignored him.

Over 15 hours of sex… Well, I think 13 hours or something like that. They kept calling us to finish the rest of the rounds since the tournament ended that day. Slim had sex, we won a round, she had sex, we won another round. Blah, blah, blah.

In the end, we won the tournament, and they deposited the money into a bank account Slim created. Whatever, this suffering is finally over.

Well, time to… Huh?

"What?"

"T-This has an explanation, Ángel! Listen!"

…

…

…

And… ugh… Slim turned out to be a heartbreaker.

"Seriously?"

"Fufu. Yeah. She got so turned on watching me have sex with the others that she begged me to have sex with her."

"Slim."

"Ugh, I admit, I caught her masturbating in the living room, and after a couple of sweet words, she kissed me and spread her legs."

Ugh… According to Slim, while I was asleep and she controlled my body, the hero passed out, and the dog girl laid him on the couch. When Slim was about to go to the kitchen for water, she saw her masturbating and offered her manual help. She refused at first, but after some flirting and a couple of thigh caresses, she kissed her, and we ended up in this situation.

I'm in the hero's bed, lying next to the naked dog girl, while the others are still asleep.

Hey, hey, hey, dog girl, you were supposed to truly love the hero. Why did you sleep with Slim? Ugh, damn it, I wanted to avoid this.

But since Slim convinced her to do it willingly and didn't force her, I won't complain.

I got out of bed and put on my pants. Seriously, she cheated on the hero with someone she doesn't even know? Pathetic.

"Slim, if I ever get a girlfriend, which I highly doubt, please don't steal her."

"Hey, I'd never do that! You're my best and only friend! Besides, I did this because I don't know the hero; I'd never do this to someone important to me."

"I hope so."

Slim sat on my head, and I left the room.

"Ugh, what time does the auction start?"

"I think in an hour."

"By the way…"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I won't do anything weird to that demon. After all, that demon girl has the potential to be your true love…! Well, after me, of course."

"After you? Do you like me?"

"Hey, I like girls, but I could make an exception for you. The future's a mystery, just like love."

"Ugh, yeah, that love thing is true. That dog girl loved the hero and had sex with you on her own. I think my trust in women just dropped."

"That's why I only have fuck buddies; it's never a good idea to be in a romantic relationship! Fufu. But you can trust me, handsome. I'll always be honest with you!"

"I hope so."

I went into the bathroom to shower. I took off my clothes and turned on the shower.

Ugh, yeah, this is what I needed. I feel better.

"Fufu."

Huh? What?

"What are you doing?"

Slim grew to full size, and her clothes disappeared.

She hugged me from behind and started massaging my back with her fiery breasts… Ugh… I don't understand anything.

First of all, doesn't water affect her? Apparently not.

"Did you forget the happy ending massage I promised you?"

"I thought it was with hands, not breasts."

"Fufu. I'll use my hands for this."

…Huh? Is Slim… jerking me off?

"Fufu. So, how's it feel? Like it?"

"No, thanks. And if you keep touching my dick, I'm gonna kill myself."

"Oh, shit, I forgot!"

She returned to her small fairy form and hugged my cheek.

"I completely forgot about your trauma! Please forgive me, I was selfish! I forgot about your trauma with sex and forced you to have sex with those women! I'm so sorry! Please don't leave me! Don't kill yourself!"

"As long as you stop sexually harassing me, it's fine. I don't mind you using my body for sex, but don't harass me. You're the one having sex, not me, so I don't care, but when I'm in control of my body, that discomfort comes back. Weird, right?"

"A-Are you really not mad at me?"

"No. The dog girl had sex with you on her own, so it didn't bother me, though it did disappoint me a lot. You enjoy sex, and if you enjoy it, I feel good helping you enjoy it, but don't ask me to have sex on my own or anything like that, please."

"…Ángel… Are you really okay with me using your body?"

"If it's so you can enjoy something you like, I'm fine with it. You know, it makes me feel useful. Use my body as much as you want, Slim. That's what friends do; they help each other."

"Uwaaaah! You put aside your issues to help your best friend! You're so good to me! Ángel, never leave me! I'll always be by your side! A friend like you is priceless!"

Slim started kissing my cheek… Well… This feels… nice… Wow, wow… I feel immense happiness in her… Wow. Her words are sincere.

"We'll always be together, Slim, as best friends. And don't force yourself to try to love me or feel romantic feelings for me; you'd only be lying to yourself. I know perfectly well you only feel friendship for me, and I prefer it stays that way. I don't think a romantic relationship between us would work."

"Is it because I'm a fairy?!"

"Because you like women, and we work better as friends. Don't you agree?"

"Mmm… Yeah, I guess a romantic relationship between you and me would ruin our vibe."

"Thanks for understanding."

"…Arghhh! I just realized you indirectly friend-zoned me! It's the first time I've been rejected… Well, it didn't hurt as much as I thought. Yeah, I think men aren't my thing, though I do like you a little… Can we be friends with benefits? In the future, once you've overcome your past."

"Mmm… Well… Yeah, sure. Sounds good to me."

"It's a deal!"

Ugh… Well… What's a friend with benefits?

•

After a relaxing shower, I got dressed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

We're in the hero's house, but I highly doubt he'll complain if I steal some food.

I was surprised that heroes have things from my world, like TVs, cell phones, even a fridge.

From what I understand, all these devices were created thanks to the heroes, but I highly doubt they know how to make a cell phone. There's gotta be some secret method.

Whatever, at least I feel like I'm in my world.

I took eggs and sausages from the fridge.

A basic breakfast, and one of the few things I know how to cook.

"Tch. Damn heroes. They have so many cool things! Ángel, let's steal their phone and TV!"

"We're not thieves, Slim. We'll buy them if we have money left from the auction."

"Booo. That's your only flaw, Ángel. You're too nice. Be tougher! Women love tough guys who take what they want!"

"And those same women end up pregnant, and the fathers of those kids abandon them, or worse, those fathers are shit and doom their families to poverty because they can't get a decent job… I'm speaking from experience… You read my memories, right?"

"W-Well… I-I'm sorry."

"Don't worry. If you read my memories, you know what I mean by those shitty fathers."

"Yeah, I know. No offense, but damn, you've had a shitty life."

"I know… But thanks to you, that life is over. I hope I can fulfill my dream of enjoying life. Ugh, whatever. Being a nice guy will ensure that the girl who falls for me has a kind and pure heart, or at least someone I can trust… maybe even love. Being a rude, tough guy like you would only attract rude, annoying girls, and I hate that kind of woman… Women like my mother. But anyway, let's forget that and make breakfast."

"Shhh. Ángel, the hero's coming. I feel his presence."

Slim entered my body, and the kitchen door opened.

"Good morning, hero. Did you read the letter I wrote you? Sorry about last night, but I did what was necessary to open your eyes. They were just using you… Except the dog girl; that woman really loved you, but seeing me have sex with the others awakened something in her and… ugh, disappointing, right?"

I left a letter on his chest explaining that those women were just using him, to make him feel less bad.

I thought he'd still be asleep, but he woke up too fast.

"Get out of my house."

"Right away."

…

…

…

The hero kicked me out of his house without letting me make breakfast.

He stood there as I left, crying… Ugh, Slim, I know they didn't love him, but I can't help feeling bad for him.

I hope he reflects and leaves them. The only one worth it was the dog girl, but not anymore. I hope he finds someone better, but considering he's a hero, a ton of women will approach him out of pure interest. Best of luck, hero.

"Damn rude hero! He didn't even let us eat breakfast. Now I feel even more satisfaction for making him watch while I tore his girlfriends' asses apart! Hahahahaha!"

"Slim, you've officially earned the nickname 'perverted old man.'"

"Hey, at least call me 'beautiful pervert'!"

"Perverted old man."

"Nooooo! That's awful!"

Hero, I hope you don't try anything stupid, like turning into a villain or something. I don't want Slim to kill you.

•

After eating breakfast at the adventurers' guild, since Slim wanted to brag about defeating the hero and having sex with his girlfriends in front of him, we went to the auction.

I let her brag, since the point of this world trip is to enjoy and have fun, and I won't stop Slim from having fun.

Besides, nothing matters to me anymore, so let her do what she wants.

We arrived at the auction and waited until Sol was brought to the stage.

A ton of slaves were sold before her, and I wanted to buy them, but… I didn't.

I entered the tournament to buy and free Sol, and that's what I'll do. I feel bad for the others, but I won't buy them… But that doesn't mean I won't help them.

I've already located the slaves who deserve to be freed, as Slim read each slave's memories and identified those who didn't commit crimes and are worth saving.

The others are slaves for committing crimes like rape and murder, so they deserve to be slaves.

And after an hour, they finally brought Sol to the stage.

She looks so… miserable. Worse than yesterday… She's so injured, and almost her entire body is dirty with dried blood.

Not having magic prevents her from healing.

And I feel so much sadness and pain in her. Pain, sadness, disappointment… fear… No positive emotions, only negative ones… Poor creature.

"The auction will begin with…!"

"I offer 4,000,000 kens!! I'm the one who defeated the Shield Hero in seconds, so I hope no one tries to steal my prey!!" I shouted to avoid spending more.

If they're scared of me, they won't bid, and I'll win the auction.

Mmm… No one's complaining. Perfect.

"Does anyone offer more…? N-No? One, two… Sold to the hero Ángel!"

Hero…? Oh, because of my black hair? Right, most people have different colored hair, except black.

Slim, I'm dyeing my hair red and white; I don't want people thinking I'm a hero. It'd be too suspicious.

Aside from that, I walked toward Sol.

I jumped and climbed onto the stage.

I looked directly into Sol's eyes, and Slim took control of my body.

"Fufu. Hope you're ready, bitch."

She destroyed the cage bars and pulled Sol out by force, who didn't resist, accepting her fate.

"Fufu. This'll be fun. Here, sir."

Slim took a check from my pocket and handed it over.

"I already paid. Can I go?"

"Y-You need to sign the slavery contract."

"Fufu. That won't be necessary. I highly doubt she could harm or escape me. Goodbye."

Slim walked away.

Ugh… Well… Everything went better than expected.

We left the city until we found a forest, and we left Sol under a tree.

Slim gave me back control of my body, and I sighed.

"Alright… Slim, do your thing."

"Fufu. Back soon!"

She flew away, leaving me alone with Sol.

I'm not afraid of her; I don't think she could kill me. Besides, my body is now much stronger and more resilient, and she has no magic. In a hand-to-hand fight, I'd win.

"You can go. Goodbye."

I walked away, leaving her alone.

It's her chance to escape; now it's up to her. I hope she takes advantage of the opportunity I'm giving her.

"What… are you doing?"

"I'm leaving."

"I don't feel… evil in you… or hatred toward me… Why are you doing this?"

I stopped and turned to look at her.

"I don't feel evil in you either, just resentment and hatred toward humans like me. Whatever you did in the past, you did it out of hatred. What did the humans take from you? Your husband? Your children?"

"…My parents."

"I see… I'll tell you what I found out. Demons are doomed to be defeated. No matter what they do, they'll always be defeated, and when that happens, the world resets, and the war starts again. In other words, no matter what humans and demons do, this war will never end."

"What…? Why don't I feel you're lying?"

"Demons can detect lies, I know, but I'm telling you the truth. No matter what they do, they end up defeated."

I told Sol the same story Slim told me about the war between humans and demons, and I could tell from her expression that she couldn't believe what I was saying. After all, she felt my words were honest, but it was hard for her to believe they were true.

I don't care if she believes me or not; I've done my part.

"Go back to the Demon Kingdom and wait for your death, or get away from it all and try to enjoy what's left of your life. Whatever it is, I don't care. I hope you're happy. Goodbye."

I walked away again, but I stopped when I heard her crying.

I turned around and saw her crying… She's not faking it; she's really crying.

"Why are you crying?"

"My parents… died for nothing… My siblings died for nothing… All my family died for nothing."

I approached her.

"It's not even worth staying alive. No matter what I do, none of this will end. What's the point of fighting?"

I knelt and hugged her.

"Huh? What?"

"I heard hugs calm people down."

"You're… touching me?"

"Yes. I have to touch you to hug you. Does it bother you?"

"I… Don't I disgust you? Do I really not disgust you?"

"No, you don't disgust me."

"…You're weird, human."

"I guess so."

I stopped hugging her and stood up.

"If I may give you some advice, go back to the Demon Kingdom and try to enjoy life, far from battles. Get a husband, or a wife, whatever you want. Have kids or don't. Do what you want with your life, but try to enjoy it. I'm doing the same… Good luck, Sol."

"Thanks… Huh?"

I turned to leave, but Sol grabbed my hand.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"H-How do you know my name? Are you a demon?! Why are you saving me?! The Demon King abandoned me! Why are you disobeying him?!"

"The Demon King abandoned you? Could you explain that, please?"

"W-What? Y-You don't know?"

"I'm not a demon."

"B-But… How do you know my name?"

"First, explain why the Demon King abandoned you, and I'll tell you why I know your name."

"Fine… In the last battle against the humans, the Shield Hero defeated us, and we tried to escape, but that enraged the Demon King, and he absorbed our magical power so we couldn't escape. It was punishment for trying to flee."

"A king who'd rather his subjects die than escape. What a shitty ruler, with all due offense."

"And if what I heard is true, you not only defeated the Shield Hero, you also fucked his girlfriends in front of him. At least knowing that makes me feel a bit better."

"It wasn't me; someone else did it while controlling my body."

"Huh? What? How?"

"But first, I want you to answer something. If you return to the Demon Kingdom, what would happen?"

"I'd die, since I'm forbidden from returning."

"I see… And living alone in a forest isn't a life; it'd be boring, and you wouldn't enjoy life, right?"

"I guess so, it'd be boring to be alone."

"I see… I'm planning to travel the world and try to enjoy life. Would you like to come with me?"

"Huh? Travel with you?"

"Yes."

"But… I'm a demon."

"And I defeated the Shield Hero in seconds. Do you think anyone would dare insult or hit you in my presence? I can make up that only I can harm my property, and that would stop others from hurting you."

"…Why are you doing this for me?"

"Because we're more alike than you think. So, do you accept? You can't go back to the Demon Kingdom, and living alone would be a living hell. What do you think? I guarantee protection, food, and fun… Well, fun depends on what you consider fun."

"…If I go with you, will you rape me? I'd rather die."

"No, and if I wanted to rape you, I would've done it instead of freeing you. Listen carefully to my words. I will never rape you. I will never sexually harass you. I will never hurt you. I want you to be happy and enjoy life… Tell me, did I lie?"

"No… You didn't lie."

"So, will you come with me?"

"I guess there's no better option… Yeah, okay, I'll go with you. It's better than dying."

"Thanks. The more friends we are, the more fun it'll be… I guess."

"Just a warning. My family has a tradition, and that tradition is to give my virginity to the person I love after we marry, and that person must also be a virgin. In other words, I'd never fall for you; you're not a virgin. Don't try flirting with me."

"Don't worry, I won't try anything weird. Now I understand why you never raped me. It all makes sense now."

"Yeah, that's why I never raped you… Huh? Rape you? What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Ángel, the human summoned to be raped and tortured by demons. I hope we get along."

"What?!"

(Pov - Kevs.)

According to the spoilers I unwillingly got from that bitchy princess, Sol is Ángel's first wife. Did she break her tradition to marry Ángel? Or does it count that Ángel had sex on his own for the first time? I don't think the previous times count, since Slim was controlling his body.

"The NTR to the Shield Hero from the dog girl hurt, but since he's a filler character, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"You're only at the Shield Hero part? Hahahahaha! You've still got a long way to go!"

And whose fault is that? You're the one who's been forcing me to exercise after classes!

Arghhh! I don't even have free time anymore!

"I recommend not underestimating the Shield Hero. He's an important character in Ángel's first life."

"An antagonist?"

"No, he's the comic relief and Ángel's future best friend."

…

…

…

"What?"

Arghhh! I wish I hadn't heard that! It ruined the surprise!

"Now stop wasting time and keep doing sit-ups, useless."

"Y-Yes."

I put the book down beside me and kept doing sit-ups.

I-I've already lost 10 kilos; I can't take it anymore! I'm starving! I'm not made to be skinny!

"Fufu. Who's your favorite character so far?"

"I-I'd say Slim. I liked Ángel, but I don't get him. He seems like a good person, but he let Slim do whatever she wanted with his body, not caring that what she was doing was wrong. Though I admit I like Slim mainly because she's fun, powerful, and does whatever she wants."

"My favorite character is the Elf Kennyak. Know why?"

"N-No spoilers, I haven't gotten to that part yet."

"It's not a spoiler. My favorite character is Kennyak because I'm her descendant! Hahahahaha! I'm the descendant of Ángel, a God! Hahahahaha!"

…

…

…

Kevs.

Yeah, Kevs?

Did you hear what she said?

Y-Yeah.

No wonder she's crazy. She thinks she's important just because her grandparents were.

Poor thing… Uwaaah!

"W-Why'd you hit me in the stomach?!"

"For calling me crazy in your head!"

"Uwaaah! You can read minds?!"

"No, but this confirmed it."

She raised her fist and smiled. S-Shit.

"Ready for your punishment?"

"…I'm an idiot."

T-This is gonna hurt.
