Chapter 56 - 16: Apartment, Ex-Girlfriend, Girlfriend...

I was sitting on the new L-shaped soft with a black leather finish and wooden legs, holding a mug that said [Worlds Best Man], drinking this super expensive but delicious cocoa with a smug grin.

Haruka sat opposite me with an angry face.

[Why did you invite her home?]

"So, you're telling me that you thought I was the one that broke up with you?" I asked with an amused tone. I did not intend to mock her or the situation.

It made me realise the person I was in the past was a fool.

{No shit! Loverboy... You nutted inside her, and then... No wonder she's a fucking awakened... in the form of an animal!}

Lupera shared some strange information: all women I finish inside will become animals!?

Aren't I human?

[Eh? Aren't you a wolf?]

{I've seen your red rocket}

[Asteria, can you not steal my brackets?]

(Ohh~ sorry, Eternia!)

"Of course!? I was planning to marry you! Then you do that, stop replying, and suddenly I transform and become an agent with no damn free time!"

I was glad she sent the rest of her team home. That kid looked devastated when he learned this girl was my ex and no longer pure.

Probably a weeb that worships virgins.

"Well, I'm truly sorry. I took what you said at face value and then started working to pay our debts off."

"Hah... as if your unskilled ass could pay off that much money."

I watched as she took out a black card before looking away from me and tossing it onto the table with a slight sound as it slid towards me.

"This should cover it right... Pay me back slowly; I have a lot of money now and nothing to spend it on."

Her face was red, and she looked away from me... I am not an idiot to know she probably harbours feelings towards me still.

But could I take this money? Well, why would I when I can earn so much?

"I don't need your charity, but you could invest in my business." Somehow it sounded a bit cooler in my head, but mental tasks were never my speciality.

"What kind of business can a College-school drop-out like you achieve?"

Although she spoke roughly, this girl's face was worried; why was I such a horrible male?

[...]

{Fufu}

(Meow)

The three goddesses were no help, so I could only face this as the man I was trying to become.

"You are right, but I am not setting it up. Rather, I am just paying for it like a hands-off boss."

Her tail twitched along with her eyes. My eyes found the movement of them to be addictive.

"Are you being scammed? This person, she a woman? How often have you fucked? Is this apartment some scam too? Are you taking loans or letting some women push you into more debt?!"

Haruka became more agitated, not even noticing her body moving closer with each sentence, and now she sat beside me as I drank my cocoa happily.

Her breasts seemed to have grown a little larger from her old B-cup.

Good fight, Haruka!

"Hmmmm, well, maybe she could be tricking me. However, the money is earned with my body and own power. It's not a loan or some stupid thing."

"..."

Her scent made me turn into a beast, nothing like a human, halfling or elf, yet I desperately tried to hold back as her eyes filled with lust as she licked her lips.

"What are you waiting for?" She cooed, kissing me again, our hands touching each other intertwined as she sucked on my tongue, her saliva entering my mouth before she kissed my neck, drooling on it.

"I'm not waiting for someone else's permission," she muttered, her hands caressing my member over my pants, "I've been waiting for too long, and now he is here! Since you left, I have never been with another male. So take responsibility!"

She commanded, but I pushed her down, the taste of her saliva sweeter and more delicious than in the past. Yet I stopped her, "I have lovers now; things cannot return to the past..."

Haruka smirked at my words, her hands still grasping my crotch. "Wow, big boy! You've grown a little..."

Then her eyes and voice became serious, "Rai. I could die tomorrow; the number of new cadets and recruits I've seen and who are now dead is over 100. The monsters in the darkness can tear me apart if I make a mistake."

"Why should I care about morals or your feelings? I want to sleep with you and feel alive. Girlfriend? Wife? I don't care! You left me like that, so be a man and give me what I need."

She pleaded, her eyes tearing and looking desperate as I saw how lonely and afraid she was.

"Haruka... I didn't know you were a masochist or you wanted a one-night stand," I spoke before shaking my head. "But I cannot treat you like that. Can we not start as friends..."

Before I could say the next words, she kicked me away, tears in her eyes before she jumped on me and straddled me, her body undressed in seconds, her scent and breasts covering my nose.

(POV change, Haruka)

"Ahhh..." I moaned in pleasure, the sensation, my lover's smell and taste...

Yet a knot appeared in my heart, a memory from a long time ago.

The moment Rai confessed to me...

"Haruka. I know we are young, but I think we can grow and become great. Together. Let's go out together."

His eyes back then. They were so innocent, pure, but I could feel his darkness; the distorted view of his eyes was like mine. We were the same... Now, there was loneliness, but that darkness was fading, and strength was starting to fill me, but...

There was also pain and the scent of women.

I hated them; jealousy filled me when I saw a woman approaching him and talking before I appeared.

Yet, now I could not complain or get mad, could I?

Our hips moved as our tongues touched, and his desire to fill my womb grew.

My pride as a woman would not allow me to beg or ask him twice. But I still wanted this; feeling embraced and making love, no strings attached, was good.

I could forget the lonely days and nights since he left.

I did not expect him to reject me when I requested a relationship.

Did he have many girls already? Who were they?

Were they prettier or smarter? Better in bed?

So many questions without answers filled my mind, but he kissed me, his hands touching me, caressing and hugging me.

His huge thing was going to enter me after so long! I dreamt his last shot would make me a mother, but it failed...

A dark spot in my soul... sometimes I dream of being beside him, sitting on his shoulder as we fought monsters together...

Then I awakened and transformed into a cat...

But those were just dreams.

The reality is that I had to savour this night.

Maybe it was the last...

The next moment, Elizabeth walked into the apartment with shopping bags, smiling until she saw my current state.
