Karen, crying tears of joy in my arms, suddenly looks at me like she’s realized something.
I always said I didn’t want to be a hero candidate.
Seems she senses our parting is near.
“Big Bro?”
“Noah said it, right? If you fail, fine, but once you pass and get the title, you can’t just ditch it.”
“Yes. Those who pass must take Melbrit’s entrance exam. It’s just a simple interview for those who’ve completed urgent missions.”
“What if I refuse?”
“If it’s deemed unavoidable, they’ll consider it. If you want, I can go as your proxy and report your absence.”
Karen clings to me tightly, like she’s pleading.
These damn b00bs of hers get me hard again. Feeling my c0ck against her thigh, Karen presses her b0dy closer.
“Karen?”
“Big Bro, can’t we go together? I want to keep being your c0ck house. I don’t want to split up like this.”
Karen’s soft, lewd b0dy sticks to me, begging.
How can I say no? But this is about my safety, so I can’t decide lightly.
“We’ll talk about what to do next.”
“I’d rather stay your c0ck house than lose you…!”
“Slow down.”
I knead Karen’s b00bs eagerly.
Karen’s one hell of a c0ck house. Even after I undid the trigger that made her handle my lust, it’s still wired in her psyche, making her such a perfect c0ck house.
But after all that work, I’m not about to bore her with some dull suggestion to quit being a candidate and stay by my side forever.
If Karen stood before me, pregnant belly swollen, saying she’s done with being a candidate, that’d be hot. But making her quit with hypnosis now? Pointless.
“You achieved a long dream. Gotta at least try the challenge. My situation’s a bit different.”
“Different?”
I sit Karen on my lap, making her face the others.
Sliding my arms under her pits, I grope her b00bs like they’re mine.
“Big Bro…”
As the w0men’s eyes lock on her, Karen squirms, belatedly embarrassed.
“Stay still. Be a good c0ck house and keep me company while I talk.”
“Mm, okay.”
Karen finally relaxes.
“Before we get to the point, I gotta tell you all something. I’m from another world.”
“Another world?”
Isti blinks.
“With Bella’s help, I came here. So I’ve got Bella’s blessing and another thing—the title of goddess’s agent .”
Isti probably guessed as much. She doesn’t show any shock.
“Decal, you’re a legitimate hero. That’s surprising.”
Noah doesn’t seem that surprised either but seems to get where I’m going.
“Not exactly legit. I sweet-talked Bella to sneak in.”
“So you’re planning to ditch the title I worked so hard for.”
“You get it, right? I’m in an awkward spot if I run into the real legit hero.”
Meeting by chance is one thing, but if I waltz into the holy city, enroll in hero academy, and make strong ties with the hero, any trouble that comes up is on me.
“Big Bro, a goddess’s agent? I kinda imagined it…”
“Decal, if you awakened your talents and fought the demon army, it’d be a huge help to humanity.”
“Noah, that’s not it.”
“Huh?”
“I’d rather leave the sweaty hero stuff to the real hero and just live easy, having s9x with pretty w0men!”
Everyone’s speechless at my blunt confession.
Only Bella, watching from the side, stifles a chuckle.
If Bella’s laughing at my clownish act, Isti just smiles softly, like she gets it.
“So very you, darling. I’ll help you get everything you want.”
“Noah, you’re judging my choice?”
“I expected this. What I said was just my hope.”
Even with her blindfold, Noah’s gaze stings.
“If you wanted to contribute to humanity, there’d be no reason to avoid being a candidate. At Melbrit, students get all kinds of support to focus on developing their skills. That’s why they say, ‘Daytoon Kingdom has a spring overflowing with golden talent.’”
“Those talents sound tempting.”
Can I just cherry-pick the pretty ones?
“If what Decal wants is to have lots of w0men, becoming a candidate isn’t a bad move.”
“Exactly!”
Karen nods eagerly in agreement.
“Though, if the kingdom’s precious talents become Decal’s concubines, it’s a big loss for the fight against the demon army.”
Isti sweet-talks, but Noah’s blunt as hell.
My conscience stings a bit.
“I’m Decal’s s1ave. I’ll work however you want.”
“Reliable as always.”
“To clarify, joining hero academy doesn’t guarantee meeting the hero. They’re fighting on the front lines for humanity’s survival, so they rarely visit. Also, only a select few become their party members…”
“So, we’re unlikely to cross paths?”
“Correct.”
“But it’s not that simple. Bella, explain.”
Bella, wiping tears from laughing, catches her breath.
“The hero’s not the issue. Two agents in one world is strictly forbidden by celestial law. Master and I broke that, and if the god ruling this world finds out, they’ll be pissed.”
Everyone grasps the gravity of it.
I’m risking divine wrath. Normal people wouldn’t go near that danger.
“Depends on the god’s rank, but if gods clash, this world becomes unlivable.”
“Bella, you’re that strong?”
“Master, what do you think gods are? We all have immense powers. I’m a new god, so I don’t know others’ strengths, but I’m sure it’d be world-ending. Got it? This isn’t something your c0ck house’s begging can fix.”
Karen slumps, dejected.
“Don’t bum out our c0ck house.”
“This isn’t a matter for mere humans to meddle in.”
“I’m a mere human, though?”
“What mere human makes a goddess their s1ave?”
Fair point. I’m not exactly normal.
“Bella says the moment I meet the hero, the goddess will notice me. Right?”
“Not quite. It’s not about the hero. Gods sense each other, even across worlds, as long as they’re in the cosmic order. If a god’s trace is found in the same world, they’ll know, like it or not.”
“So, what’s this about recognizing the hero?”
“Like gods, agents can sense each other.”
“Got it.”
To sum up: agents recognize each other on sight. I’ve got Bella’s favor, the hero’s got this world’s goddess’s favor, so the gods will notice each other. That’s the deal.
“So, staying away from hero academy is the right move.”
Yeah, that feels right.
Just keep living the chill adventurer life. Not bad.
“The risk outweighs the reward.”
It sucks I can’t meet the cute girls at hero academy, but I gotta fold here.
Unless I’ve got a way to face a god, even using Bella to fight would screw this world up. Total backfire.
“If it’s dangerous for darling, I think I shouldn’t go either,” Isti says cautiously, eyeing Karen.
“Master, we can find w0men to satisfy you elsewhere,” Noah adds.
“There’s another risk as big as divine wrath.”
“There’s more?” Bella asks.
“Yeah. The hero’s way stronger and higher-leveled than me, right?”
“Duh. A hero fighting to save the world wouldn’t be weaker than you.”
If I hypnotize them, something could go wrong, and the demon army might kill the hero and advance.
“If the hero, backed by their goddess, turns on me, it’s chaos. I’d die, and my w0men would end up with the hero. Nightmare fuel!”
“Huh? Darling, what do you mean?”
“If I die, my girls would flock to the cool, strong hero!”
Everyone’s reactions are weird.
“What’s with the faces? Is the hero into guys or something?”
“Darling, the hero’s a w0man.”
“What!?”
“Coming from another world, Decal wouldn’t know,” Noah says.
The hero’s a w0man?
“No way. Fighting the demon army on the front lines? She’s probably a hairy, 2-meter-tall giant.”
“No. The hero’s the kingdom’s most noble and beautiful w0man, compared to the brightest gem. Summoned to Daytoon Kingdom at age 10, she’s repelled the demon army over a hundred times in the last decade. A true hero, now in her prime.”
Most noble and beautiful…?
I scramble for excuses.
“That’s just exaggerated rumors, right, Isti?”
“I’ve seen the hero myself,” Isti says, her tone heavy with meaning.
“Yeah, and?”
“She’s so mystical and gorgeous, I’m nothing compared to her.”
“Argh!” I clutch my head and yell.
“Big Bro!?”
“How can I not go after hearing that?! Bella, you wanna die? Why didn’t you say the hero’s a w0man?”
“I thought you knew,” Bella says, dumbfounded.
“Master, don’t you remember? When picking a world, you told me: ‘Lots of stunning w0men, no infighting, and a comfy life.’”
“That included the hero?”
“Not necessarily, but this world’s got a ton of beautiful female souls flowing in.”
Appearance comes from the soul?
“The hero’s soul was exceptional. No clue who chose her as agent but it’s noble and radiant. Everyone’s sure she’ll become a goddess.”
“Ugh…!”
I wanna hypnotize her. Gotta meet her now.
“What’s wrong? You’re not flipping everything just ‘cause the hero’s pretty, are you?” Bella teases, but I stay dead serious.
“This is huge! I won’t sleep wondering what her face looks like!”
Bella looks at me like I’m a bug. “Ugh, Master, that’s gross.”
“I need a plan to charm a god. What’s the odds?”
“Assuming they don’t attack on sight, pretty good,” Bella says.
“Too reckless, Big Bro. Your magic’s strong, but it won’t work on a god,” Karen chimes in.
Obviously, I’m planning hypnosis. Everyone but Karen gets it.
“Right. Not all gods split their consciousness into avatars like Bella,” I say.
“It’s splitting consciousness into a body. I’d know if we met, but… will it go that smoothly?” Bella muses.
“If it doesn’t, I’ll blackmail the god using the hero.”
“So very Master,” Bella says.
“You said meeting face-to-face triggers it. I need someone to set up a private meeting with the hero. Someone sneaky.”
“I’m perfect for it,” Noah steps up eagerly.
“Trapping the hero? You up for that? For me?”
“I’ll do it. I’ll prove my loyalty. I’m Decal’s s1ave—anything you want, I’ll make it happen.”
“What do you want in return?”
I knead Karen’s b00bs while asking.
“I… want cl0thes you’ve worn for a day,” Noah says.
“I can give you that now.”
“Cl0thes soaked in Decal’s scent… can I have them?”
“Sure, take ‘em.”
Noah, usually calm, can’t hide her excitement. All she wants is that? I could roll around sweaty for her, and she’d be hooked, panting like it’s a drug.
Noah’s perverse obsession makes her a masterpiece in my eyes.
“The hero’s on you, Noah. If the other god flips out, Bella, handle it.”
“Ugh, fine. If you’re in danger, I’ll barge in. No need to be subtle then,” Bella says.
“What about Isti? You can’t enroll as a student.”
“I’ll join as a teacher to help darling,” Isti says firmly.
Noah’s shocked. “‘Noble Huntress’ as a Melbrit teacher? You’re overqualified. Everyone’ll be stunned.”
“Can we use names now, Isti? Work with Noah for me?”
“Yeah, anyone can use my name now,” Isti says suddenly.
“Since dating darling, I’ve thought about it. You’ll want to be with lots of people, and I’m your w0man. I can’t keep being stubborn.”
I’m so moved I stop groping Karen’s b00bs.
“My priority’s you, darling. I’ll manage among people.”
“Isti…”
Karen hugs me tight. “I don’t get the god and hero stuff, but I believe in Big Bro. I’m thrilled we’re going to Melbrit together!”
“Yeah, let’s do this.”
“Yep!”
This world’s like a treasure chest made for me.
My heart’s set—my next stop’s decided.
