My females apologized in slightly fearful voices, bowing their heads to me.
Although I expected them to be afraid of my anger, this reaction was beyond my expectations. The two of them were actually trembling with fear.
I was indeed a little angry. I only intended to give them a warning…did I make the atmosphere too tense? …Could it be because of my expression? You two?
"N-I'm very sorry, Master…"
"You mere female slaves, how dare you disobey your master's wishes…"
The two of them trembled as they looked up at me slightly, as if observing my expression.
Hmm…I wanted to scold them a bit, but seeing them like this, I felt a little sorry for them…No. I have to make things clear here.
"Adding females is just for my own amusement. Didn't I say? I'll only target the women of the heroes' lovers?"
When they each became my females, I clearly stated—my fetish is to steal other people's women, so I only target the women of heroes.
Although they brushed it off with excuses like annihilation… and both of them nodded in understanding, why offer up just any woman?
Could they have forgotten?
"Even if Leona did it because she's close to me, Sally's sister is incomprehensible. No, having all the employees mate with me before that was strange in itself. This isn't what I wanted."
Of course, I'm a man too. Putting sexual orientation aside, the opportunity to mate with such a beauty is indeed quite satisfying.
This monstrous body is increasingly filled with lust, and releasing that lust through various women in this way is quite enjoyable. It's a bit absurd, though.
But that's another matter.
Even if I decide to live as I please, isn't it a bit inappropriate for a human being to mate with just any woman?
"No wonder you two, from some point onward, weren't you thinking about me, but about other things? What were you thinking? Just say it this time."
"Th-that…"
"So…" Lisbeth and Claire looked at each other evasively, their faces showing anxious bewilderment.
They secretly observed my expression, like scolded children thinking, 'Can we just get away with this?'…No. I'm not going to let you off so easily. Go back…no, come in.
I'll take this opportunity to hear what my females are really thinking.
"…Hoo. Yes, yes, Master…"
"Fine, I'll tell you…" The two looked hesitant, finally taking a deep breath and looking me straight in the eye as if making a decision.
After sitting up straight, they briefly exchanged a 'Is this alright?' look…and quickly their expressions turned serious…
"…To change Esendia's impending doom."
"That's why we did this. Master."
…? Ah, I'm momentarily confused. What did I just hear? They did mention annihilation, didn't they?
"...What did you say just now?"
"They said it was to change the annihilation of Esendia. Master."
"The annihilation you know about, Master."
...Did I mention annihilation? ...No, no.
Even when I confessed my fetishes to them, I definitely didn't say anything special.
But how did they know about annihilation?
"...Perhaps I mentioned it before?"
"No. Master."
"It wasn't you who told us, Master. We knew it ourselves."
"We knew it ourselves?...How did we find out?" This is truly perplexing. I intended to keep the matter of annihilation a secret, to bury it like that.
They actually found out...how...ah. Could it be...?
"Master. Please don't be too surprised, listen to me."
"Master's semen...no, to be precise, Master, you possess a special power."
While my body itself could be considered a special body of a divine beast...it shouldn't refer to more than just this body.
"When we truly wanted to become Master's females... in the instant we received Master's horse semen into our bodies."
"Our bodies... our souls, were changed by Master's special power... we saw the future... and knew it."
"Destruction is approaching. And Eisendia can no longer avoid destruction."
...Saw the future... So that's why the atmosphere became so strange after the two became my females.
I initially just laughed it off, thinking maybe my semen would have some effect, but it turns out it's true.
"Master's special power is contained within Master's Eisendia... especially Master's horse semen containing seeds."
"We were changed by that power, and in the process of connecting with Master... we learned all of this."
Connected... I thought it was because I conquered Lisbeth and Claire that I felt this way.
So there really is something connecting us?
Hmm, it feels itchy... these two females before me, how should I put it... they seem to have truly become special beings to me, and I feel inexplicably happy.
"Not only that... but they also know the burning desire that Master yearns for in his heart..."
"And that Master came from another world and obtained his current new body in Esendia." Good heavens, they even know that.
It's an unbelievable story... but I'm not feeling bad.
Even though I didn't say it aloud, my females know me so well... really. It's alright to tell me that much. I'm a little embarrassed.
"I see. I never imagined my horse semen had such power."
"We couldn't withstand Master's power at first."
"It was Master who slowly... modified our bodies, injecting that power into us."
"It allowed us to be reborn as Master's females."
Seeing me relax a bit, Lisbeth and Claire chuckled softly when they saw my awkward smile.
My females are indeed most beautiful when they smile. Very good.
However... the questions aren't completely answered yet.
"Alright. I understand it's because of the special power within me that my females know so much. But what does that have to do with destruction? Shouldn't destruction be achieved by reducing the number of Hero Devourers and Heroes?"
According to my memories of the goddess, those two are like the holes through which the waters of destruction flow into Esendia.
Although the holes for Hero Devourers are large and those for Heroes are small, I thought that plugging these holes would slow the overflow of the waters of destruction… What necessary connection does this have with my females wanting to offer me more women?
"...Um…"
"...I mean…" The two, who had initially relaxed slightly, stammered and exchanged glances, as if finding it difficult to speak.
Just as their curiosity was growing, and even a hint of anticipation was beginning to emerge—"I'm so sorry! Master!"
"This is the only thing I cannot tell you yet!" The two bowed again, uttering puzzling words.
"...Huh? No, why..."
"I'm so sorry, Master!"
"It's too early... Master, you need to prepare more..."
For some reason, their expressions were so desperate that it made me even more panicked.
Wait, what could possibly be so serious?
"But...but! To avoid annihilation, you must increase the number of your females!"
"Not only us chosen females who have received your favor and power..."
"Even the slaves you've easily slept with through simple rituals must be increased significantly!"
"Please...wait a moment until we can tell you..."
"Please! Master!" Uh, uh...I didn't expect it to turn out like this...
Their expressions were so serious and desperate that I couldn't say anything in this situation...Even our employees, I've slept with them?
This is truly…
"…Could it be that something bad has happened to our employees?"
"No! Absolutely nothing!"
"It's just that, because they've been dyed, while they don't know everything like us, they've gained a vague understanding of the world."
"They've only gained a slight understanding of their master and the world. They haven't changed."
"To stop the destruction… we need females who understand their master like they do, who genuinely follow… is that not possible…?"
For some reason, the desperate expressions on their faces as they looked at me were like the desperate expressions of children begging for a toy…
"…Haa. Okay. To stop the destruction, this is the only way… right?"
"Although I haven't fully accepted it yet, since my females are working so hard… and we must stop the destruction, there's no other way."
"…Hmph. Okay. I understand. I won't ask any more questions now. You'll tell me later, right?"
"…! Yes!!! Of course!!! Master!"
"Ah, thank you! Master! Thank you so much!"
Kowtowing like this makes me even happier than when they swore allegiance to me.
I can't help it… I'm a little curious, but seeing these radiant smiles is enough for me now. "However, you must uphold the bottom line."
"The bottom line...?"
"Yes. This is the minimum requirement. If you don't comply, this is my absolute minimum."
Yes. Even for the sake of destruction, a minimum bottom line must be drawn.
...Without a bottom line, we might become true beasts rather than humans.
"First, the women you choose as slaves must be women who are willing or who have no lovers or families." For ordinary people who have built families and live stable lives, since I don't intend to treat them as my females, violating them feels inappropriate.
If I don't impose this restriction, I might violate every woman in Radia; the thought is terrifying.
"Also, females like you whom I choose... I will choose personally. Leona is out of the question."
To become my female, a woman must at least be a hero's wife.
Quite principled... Leona is an ordinary woman with a husband and children.
Since she's not the wife of a hero involved in the destruction, violating such a woman and destroying her family... the thought of it is truly despicable, and it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.
And if I don't hold that line, I feel like I'll truly become something worse than a beast from that moment on... No, no. She has to be a hero's woman.
Although my relationship with Leona is just about enjoying each other... uh, thinking about it now, I'm such a scumbag.
But, it absolutely cannot develop into a physical relationship. That's something I must uphold. Hmm.
"Also, nurturing my females is one of my pleasures. Unless I actively request their assistance, don't interfere. How about that? Can you do that?"
That's right. I should take this opportunity to draw this line.
I feel like if they interfere, I won't have a chance to enjoy myself.
Thinking this, as I looked into their eyes, my females briefly exchanged glances...
"Yes! We will remember, Master!"
"They readily accepted my request, which greatly pleases me."
