Book 4: Chapter 20

“What are you doing out here?”

“Oh, the girls said something about Shivra smelling. Guess she didn’t clean herself after the war, so they’re preparing her for insemination.” I respond before realizing who was asking. “Huh, eh? Florian? Aren’t you Meg?”

“Hm? Meg?” Florian cocks his head to the side. “Who was she, anyway? Was she always that creature that invaded my head?”

“I have no clue.” I shrug. “The Meg I found had actually had her mind destroyed. She was essentially nothing but an empty vessel.”

“What?” Florian cries out. “But I saw her not too long ago! She was giving me strange looks.”

“Yeah… I had to fill her mind up with someone’s memories, and since it wasn’t like your mind was using your body… well, nevermind, it’s complicated. We’ll just say I recently dropped some truth bombs on her and she’s still recovering. How did you get into the mansion?”

“Florian scratches the back of his neck and laughs awkwardly. “Yeah, well, I got dragged back to the mansion during clean up and sort of got filled in on a little bit of what happened. It turns out I’ve been problematic for you and your city.”

“Yeah, you could say that.”

Florian suddenly bows down, lowering his head. “I’m sorry! I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but in the end, you saved me. Thank you!”

“Hey, the reason I kept you alive was because of Nala.”

“Nala? Right, of course.” Florian closes his eyes for a second before straightening himself up while wearing an apprehensive look.

“Nala, she… stopped by shortly after I had woke up.”

“Oh?” I knew she had stopped by his room and it had caused me some distress, but she didn’t stay long so I chose to ignore the lingering jealousy. She’d be wearing a collar soon and then I could rest easy knowing my girls are faithful. “And what did Nala say?”

“She… uh… told me that she liked me.” Florian laughs. “Uh, don’t give me that dark look. She said liked, as in the past tense. She then told me that you, and I’m quoting so excuse my French here, she ‘likes your big, hard dick and “likes to get fucked hard’, she said my ‘tiny bitch dick’ is no longer enough to satisfy her. Then, she ran out of the room crying.”

I can’t help but break out laughing at his apparent description of the events. Besides being shocking words for Nala to declare, they are also shocking words to come out of the ever polite Florian.

“Yeah, so how’d you take it?” I probe cautiously.

Florian chuckles wryly. “I was really jealous and resentful at first. Then, I was just pissed at how much I missed out on! Fuck, Nala’s hot! I could have been ball’s deep in that filthy snatch for days and I fucked it up trying to be the good guy!”

I let out a breath in surprise. Had I been drinking anything, it would have been spit up all over Florian’s face. This was definitely not the kind of words that I ever would have expected to come out of Florian’s mouth.

“You… are you sure you’re alright? The slug didn’t give you brain damage, right?”

Florian let out a laugh, his cheeks only blushing slightly. “Ah, well, earlier today I woke up on the ground after you removed the slug. I was in a pile of naked sexy women surrounded by goblins who were pounding them aggressively. I was so beat up I couldn’t move, but as I lied there with a goblin’s balls rubbing up and down my cheek as he pounded a girl from behind… my nose was shoved up her snatch with her thighs wrapped around my forehead, by the way… It was a first-row ticket. You could say I was in the splash zone… ahem… well… as my eyes were stained and I started to lose consciousness, my life flashed before my eyes and I started to reflect on the path I had taken.”

“Naturally…” I fought to keep a straight face as I nod sympathetically.

“You have so many women, and you take and give with extreme prejudice. In another story, you might even be called a monster or a demon. However, here, you’re a hero. You even stopped a demon god… with your penis.”

Florian sighs and continues. “I spent most of my life thinking I knew what was right. I interpreted the world to my own satisfaction. I was convinced of a certain right and a certain wrong, and before I knew it, I was a 20-year-old virgin who had friend-zoned every girl he ever knew!”

“Ah, well…” I find myself at a loss for words.

“It wasn’t always that way.” Florian continues. “I wasn’t always surrounded by women. At first, I was just trying to be the nice guy, thinking women wanted some guy to treat them right. Soon, women started to walk all over me. Back on Earth, I was that guy friend who’d they ask to drive them someplace, only to find out that place was their boyfriend’s pad where they were looking to get dick. Had to pick those bitches up after too, drunk and smelling like sex, I’d drive those fucking sluts’ home and not even get a kiss.

“So, I started to change. I stopped becoming a nice guy and became self-righteous instead. Suddenly, the women wanted to be around me, but every time a girl got close, I remembered those fucking bitches who always used me, and I found myself unwilling to even acknowledge their affection. Once I acknowledged their affection, I always thought they’d then start using me again… at least that was where my mind was at.”

“Why are you telling me this? You’re not coming on to me, are you? I mean, I already have a girl version, so this would just be redundant…”

“Uh, yeah… I like my penis where it is, okay…”

“I could give you a vagina as well, they say Futa is the new straight.”

“I’ll pass.”

“Alright. Well, is that all you wanted to say?”

“Hah…” Florian gave another sigh. “I know you don’t want me around your harem. I’d probably be the same way if I had so many hot girls willing to suck dick at a moment’s notice. I’ll be leaving soon. I just wanted to say… thank you.”

I shrug. “As I said, it was Nala…”

“No, I’m not thanking you for saving me this time. I mean… about waking me up. I got too self-righteous. I stopped thinking about my own happiness and just did what I arbitrarily decided was the greater good. I got off on being the hero. I got off on girls putting me on the pedestal. And I got so afraid of losing my place on the pedestal I never even took advantage of the girls who put me there.  Thanks for giving me a new lease on life. I’ll be going!” Florian gives one more bow before turning and walking away abruptly.

“Hey!” I call as he makes it halfway down the hallways. “What do you plan to do now?”

Florian glances back, looking thoughtful for a second, and then laughs. “Head back to the human continent, maybe? Duck those stupid nobles who want to use me, certainly. I think I might seduce a woman or ten. Yeah… become an Adventurer, make some money, buy a mansion, start a harem. Rescue a few damsels, give them six inches.”

“Aren’t you just copying me?” I snort. “Wait, just six inches?”

“Hey, not everyone has a giga penis!” Florian growls back.

The pair of us glare at each other for a few minutes before breaking into laughter. “Hey, at this point you’re probably the closest thing I’ll ever get to a male friend in this world, so stay out of trouble.”

Florian wipes a tear from his eye and responds indigently. “You’re one to talk! Well, whatever. And hey, in the future, can you not netorare my women, that’d be just super.”

“I promise nothing, but I’ll say I’ve already got enough human girls, so my future women will probably be demihumans, goddesses, and demon lords.”

“Noted. If there is nothing else to discuss, I guess I’m going to head out.”

“Yeah, see ya, I’m going to go impregnate a goblin.”

“Have fun with that, I’ve… uh… seen all the goblin impregnation… to last… eons…” Florian wears a dark haunted look for a second before shaking out of it and giving a laugh. “Well, to each their own.”

He finally turns away and walks off, only throwing up his hand in a wave as he turns a corner. I give a nod to myself as I watch him leave, realizing that he and I might not be so different after all. We are just two guys, thrown into another world, looking to find happiness however we can. And like that, two heroes part ways, forging their own isekai paths to pussy.
