Book 3: Chapter 3

“Megara is Florian?” Ariel asks in wonder.

“I guess it is?” I respond, shrugging. “So, apparently, the girl known as Megara was capable of switching places with Florian.”

“Well, at least it’s not something out of left park, like she’s your childhood friend or something.” Aura admits.

“Yeah, that would be pretty weird.”

“Th-this is pretty weird!” Megara, or is it Florian, cried out. “I want my body back!”

“Why would I give your body back,” The current Florian laughs. “I went to great efforts to get into your party. Of course, that was all with the intention of finally acquiring a powerful host for myself. Can you imagine, a hero from another world? I am truly the most powerful being this world has ever known! No one can stop me now!”

“Is that why you tried to kill off your old Master too!” Grimhilde demanded.

“Hehe… just tying up some loose ends. I was happy leaving you with that body. Believe it or not, she was a summoned hero too.

“Strange,” Grimhilde adds. “I don’t recall any heroes being summoned.”

“That’s because I summoned her!” Florian laughs. “She was my first attempt at getting the power of a hero. Of course, her ability wasn’t quite as exciting as Florians. I was planning to trick Florian into bed and then do the switch then, but that bastard was so dense that no matter what I did, he wouldn’t sleep with me.”

“I was saving it for my first time!” the current Megara teared up, shouldn’t me a pained look.

“Well, technically it’s Megara, the former bodies owner, who lost her virginity, if it’s any consolation.” I coughed.

“You monster. What happened to the original Megara?” Florian demanded.

“Eh? I put her soul into my old body and killed her. She barely knew what happened when she no longer existed anymore.

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!”

“Won’t you be kill yourself? Baka!”

“Please don’t use cute terms in Florian’s body, it disgusts me.”

The current Megara shot the current Florian a hateful look. “You did all of that just to take my body? You fool! I can summon objects from another world. You’ve never been that world, so you don’t even know what to summon! Without knowledge of a weapon, you can even bring out 1/5th of the power I have!”

“I know!” Megara put on an ugly face. “Why did you think I’d been putting off taking you? Other than your complete lack of putting out, I also wanted to observe what objects you could pull so I could as well. That’s why I really enjoyed our finally battle. You showed me many exciting weapons I could use.”

“Even so, that’s pretty limiting to what he originally could do.” I admit.

Florian smiles. “True… so it’s good news that another hero came along with even better powers.”

“Huh? Who?”

“You! Idiot!” Florian makes a face. “I figured it out. You’re a hero from another world.”

“He is!?” Megara gasps.

I roll my eyes. “You have no proof of that.”

“Proof? No… but once I take your body, I’ll be able to use your power that could even subjugate a demon lord in an instant!”

“I-it didn’t take an instant! It took all night… geh… I don’t want to think about it!” Malent grimaced.

“Do you have any last words?” Florian demanded.

“Goodbye.” I wave my hand, and the body of Florian vanishes.
