《I will Kill the Hero! With Fluff!》Chapter 15 - Crops and Cretins
Advertisement
A paradisial landscape slowly wandered from one side of the window to the other. Together with the gentle hands that were stroking my fur, it felt as if I was dreaming, but the annoying voice of the hero pulled me back into reality times and times again. I had been confined in this carriage for hours, but still had yet to find any rest thanks to him.
“Can I hold her, too?” He asked yet again.
Myra didn’t even waste a single thought on it before denying his wish: “She is still afraid of you, Masaru.”
“But I never did anything to her! I would never hurt such a cutie like her~”
「Cutie?」
“Maybe something bad had happened to her in the past. That would explain why she is afraid of men.”
「It is only him I hate!」
It wasn’t true. There were countless humans worthy of my hate, and there had been quite a few of them even before the war had broken out. Thanks to my old body, I had to feed on men or at least women, as demons were allies and thus off limits to me. So I had traveled to the human realms, again and again, only to grow more and more grudges by doing so.
A long sigh slipped my lips, ending up sound far cuter than I had expected. The hero’s party did not leave it uncommented.
“Like my granny,” Saenna decided, not wasting a single additional word.
«Who is your granny?!»
“Maybe she is sad that she can’t play?” Azu suggested.
“Don’t worry, Ahri~” The hero’s despicable yet sugar-sweet voice reached me, “I will play with you aaall day long as soon as we arrive in Zandria~”
「Who would want to play with you?!」

I growled at the hero who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, but he didn’t care a bit. He continued watching me with as dreamy as creepy eyes. Luckily enough, it wasn’t only him and me in here, but Saenna, Myra and Azu too, with the later one sitting right next to the hero. The other girls shared the small driver’s seat.
Only the orange-haired Faisa couldn’t sit still for longer than maybe half an hour. From time to time, she even climbed the still driving carriage and let her feet dangle from it, right in front of the window, as if trying to remember me that it was her who is free and me who is trapped with the hero. She did it again right now.
«...»
“What are your plans for today?” Azu asked, after slightly leaning against the hero’s shoulder.
«Please do not start flirting now ...»
He didn’t even think before answering: “Nothing much. I think we should rest for today. What do you think about having a bbq this evening to celebrate our return?”
“You don’t have to report to the major or the guild?”
“I will do that tomorrow. It isn’t like it is urgent.”
“So you have time today ...”
«Stop trying to get into his pants!»
Two coughs brought her back to reason. Neither Saenna nor Myra liked to see their man stolen away right in front of their eyes. But instead of judging the hero like anybody who was able to think straight would have done, their focus instead went onto Azu, who faced them with a mischievous smile.
«... if only they would get rid of this part of their personality.»

I couldn’t understand what it was that they liked in him. He wasn’t ugly but rather nice looking, at least compared to other humans, but not to an extent that would explain six beautiful girls swarming around him and trying to win his heart.
Their behavior was especially weird knowing that the hero didn’t even try to decide on one of them but rather tried to win them all over at once, trying to form a harem of some sort.
«Humans are weird.»
As we continued our travel, the scenery around us changed from one of trees, rocks, flowers and streams to a sheer endless ocean of crops. We passed by a small windmill, a few barns and farms with herds of cattle. It was only after about an hour of this picture, that I could see the first buildings of the city in the far reach. It was far larger than I had imagined.
A warm hand was gently placed onto my back. I looked up to find Saenna faintly smiling at me.
“Your home,” she explained. “You will like it.”

Rise of the Firstborn
[A participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge]As the inhibitor rises and the eternal flame is quenched, our lands shall be freed, and only then will the Princess be set to flee. It began with ice. A relentless, bone-chilling tickle of frost that stretched across the lands of Axulran, crawling over the mountain crests and freezing the grassy meadows. Frozen in time, the kingdom fought for political control all across the region of Ellixus, paying no mind to the death and torment they may cause along the way. Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

8 109Game Dungeon
A recently deceased man finds himself imprisoned in a prismatic gem, confused and missing pieces of his memory he wishes to play video games, but to his horror, he is stuck in a world of sword and magic. Hello! I am the writer of Game Dungeon thanks for your feedback! Although my intentions were not to insult the reader I can see how someone would think that way. I have no plans to change it as of now and it's better to put it out there as a warning that I use a lot of words with similar meanings but are used very irregularly. Honestly speaking my English teacher was weird and a lot of words I use are more complicated than they need to be, but again something I was drilled into was not reusing words apart from "I".

8 202Try Again
How do you picture the phrase, incapable of dying? Invulnerability? Invincibility? Immortality? Whatever word you choose, it seems like a useful ability to have, right? While others might think it would be great to never die, I think it might just be a curse. Would you choose to be incapable of dying if it meant that every time you were going to die you just restarted your whole life all over again?
