The Main Character is the Villain

"We can't go back like this."

Faced with their resolute refusal and vigilance, we had no choice but to return to the ship. The mermaids didn't seem to have the strength to chase us away, but they didn't seem to welcome us anymore either. However, just as Eve said, we couldn't go back like this. This was an even more important issue because my wife was a mermaid. I spoke in a low voice.

"We need to insist that the culprit behind this incident is the lamia. That she framed the mermaids because they got in her way. Unless we do that, there's no way public opinion about the mermaids will turn around right now."

Without this, the mermaids had no way to recover. If we just went back now, the next time would be a full-scale war between the mermaids and humans. Whether I brought back the lamia's head or did something else, I had to bring evidence that someone other than the mermaids was the culprit. Cellu spoke.

"If that lamia really wants to protect the mermaids, wouldn't there be room for negotiation?"

At Cellu's words, I looked at the entrance to the cave where the lamia was undoubtedly hiding. In fact, considering Lua's actions in the original game, her current behavior was a bit difficult to understand. Saving the mermaids wouldn't resurrect the Demon King, and there was no benefit for her to be holed up on that island. Cellu spoke.

"Seeing as she's going this far, there might be room for compromise."

"Cellu. So, you mean you want that lamia to sacrifice herself."

Cellu nodded her head calmly at my words. Surprisingly, she did not mourn the sacrifice. The expressions coming from Cellu's mouth sounded as if she were explaining a predestined event.

There was no difference of opinion regarding Cellu's words. Eve kept her mouth shut, but she seemed to be thinking the same thing. The fisherman was smacking his lips, observing our reactions. I looked at the cave and spoke.

"Then I'll try talking to her."

"You're only going to talk, right?"

When I said I would talk, Eve narrowed her eyes and asked me, looking anxious. I felt a twinge of guilt in my chest. It was because I wasn't just going there to talk. Ever since the 'virgin' succubus Lubian met a miserable death at the hands of AA, I had always lived dreaming of a Four Heavenly Kings' pussy. As the old saying goes about catching two birds with one stone, shouldn't conversation and sex naturally go hand in hand?

There was no way I could blow the chance of fucking a lamia so pointlessly. I spoke to Eve.

"It's fine. I won't use violence."

As we kept whispering on the ship, the mermaids felt anxious and approached us little by little. Ann, who was at the forefront, approached me and asked.

"Um... by any chance, when are you going back? Still, um, for humans to be on Mermaid Island for this long is..."

"We will only stay for one day. The sun is setting, and the wind is unusual. We'll leave as soon as day breaks tomorrow morning, so could you lend us a corner of this island for just one day?"

"Are you giving up on convincing us?"

Ann persistently pressed for an answer. She seemed to believe that if I said I was giving up, those words would be influenced by some law or grand rule and hold absolute authority. Along with her naivete, Ann's words were also a question based on our old affection from when we once slept together. However, I had no intention of meeting her expectations. Rather than all the mermaids dying together, it was better for just the lamia to die.

Lua was one of the Four Heavenly Kings anyway, and though I didn't know what kind of relationship the Four Heavenly Kings had with the Demon King, these bastards were a sin just by existing. There was no benefit in keeping bastards alive whose goal was the annihilation of humanity. I nodded my head and spoke.

"Yes. It can't be helped. We'll have to find another method. But Ann. Please know that we truly want to protect you all. It would have been great if your captain, the lamia, could have understood our thoughts, but we can't even meet her."

"We won't let you meet her. I'm sorry."

Ann spoke politely yet resolutely. Beyond her statement, I saw hope for persuasion. This wasn't a refusal because the lamia was vicious. It was a refusal because there was a possibility of persuasion. I gave Ann a tight hug once and headed towards the ship.

We fell asleep near the ship. The fisherman went into the captain's cabin to avoid the draft, and Cellu plopped down on the sandy beach to get some sleep. Eve was fast asleep, leaning her body against my shoulder. I kept my eyes wide open, waiting only for the mermaids to fall asleep. The mermaids yawned one by one and disappeared to find a place to sleep. The fish-men fell asleep in their own way.

The fish-men didn't seek out separate beds; they just collapsed on the spot like dolls and fell asleep. The mermaids found spots on the beach or in the crevices between rocks, curled up, and closed their eyes while breathing comfortably. After watching the very last mermaid lie down on the ground, I slowly got up. I carefully laid Eve down so she wouldn't wake up and directed my steps toward the cave. The sound of waves crashing on the beach echoed softly like a lullaby. The sandy beach reflected the starlight, sparkling in a navy blue hue.

Once again, I could feel that the scenery of Mermaid Island was surreal. Microorganisms that had crawled out of the water emitted a soft light. Whenever I placed my hand on the wall, bugs I had never seen before in my life scuttled about busily. Even though the texture of the bugs gave me goosebumps, I kept my mouth tightly shut and carefully headed to the cave.

It seemed that lookouts or vigilance meant nothing to the mermaids. They hadn't taken any measures in front of the cave where their most important captain lived. At least there were a few fish-men sleeping, so to ensure they wouldn't wake up, I poked a hole through their crowns and glabellas with my finger one by one. The fish-men flinched and trembled briefly before they perished instantly. Perhaps because their blood was thick, it didn't soak the floor.

The sensation of digging all the way into their brains was extremely unpleasant, so I shook my hand to brush off the feeling, pushed past the corpses, and headed into the cave.

The inside of the cave was very deep. It was a fact impossible to tell from the outside, but the cave wound around like intestines, making it structured in a way where you couldn't check who was inside from the entrance. This kind of structure made it easy to hide the people inside from an intruder, but it wasn't a very good composition for defense.

As soon as I set foot in the deepest part of the cave, Lua raised her head and stared at me.

"You, wh... what are you doing—eueup...!"

I covered Lua's mouth and whispered.

"Shh. Be quiet. Unless you want to see all the mermaids' heads get smashed in."

At my words, Lua closed her mouth. I slowly observed her face. Pale skin, purple hair, a full bust, and clothes like an Arab dancer covering those breasts. I undid Lua's clothes and slowly moved my hand down. I gradually scanned her from her tail up to her waist, and brought my finger to her neat private parts.

"As expected, you've got a proper cunt."

"Eueup... eueup... eueup..."

Lua's resistance was weaker than I thought. When I pinned both of her hands with one hand and pressed her tail down with my knee, she couldn't move an inch. I checked Lua's status window.

I unfastened my belt. Lua struggled as if having a seizure, but it was useless. My cock softly pressed down on her private parts. I whispered to Lua.

"Be quiet. I still gotta fuck at least one of the Four Heavenly Kings, for fuck's sake."

"B-Beast...! You crazy...... bastard......!"

"Hmm? I'm telling you this is good for you too. You want to protect the mermaids, right? I just killed all the fish-men, so there's no use shouting."

"Stop...... s-stop...... it...... I-I, as a queen...... have a duty to keep my chastity......!"

"Fuck, you're a 'virgin' lamia? That's even better. It was such a shame that Lubian died a 'virgin', but at least I'll get to eat you."

I ended up getting even more aroused by those words. However, Lua couldn't hide her shock at my statement. Opening her eyes wide at the news of her fellow Four Heavenly King, she asked.

"W-What did you do to Lubian? You, you...... you demon-like bastard! You cruel bastard! Lubian was truly a good child who only knew the Demon King...... h-how could you do that to that child...... you scumbag!"

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?"

I pressed her while harassing her private parts with my fingers. Weren't lamias originally demons that seduced men and made them their prey? As if those words were true, her private parts were already getting wet even though I hadn't engaged in foreplay for long. I wanted to kiss her too, but I gave up, afraid that she might actually try to bite my tongue off if I shoved it in.

As my fingers dug into her private parts, Lua flinched her waist and closed her eyes.

"Eut......"

A look of resignation settled on her face. I stroked her cheek and spoke.

"Right, that's the attitude. Try moving a little more flexibly."

Lua did not answer. She seemed to have decided not to react to my words at all. My fingers softly stroked her flesh walls, searching for her weak spot. Lua was flustered by the foreign body sensation she felt inside her, while also being bewildered by the pleasure rising up from her womb.

A small oil lamp was burning inside the cave, and thanks to it, I could clearly see that her body was gradually turning red.

"Eut...... eueut...... eut......"

Lua tried to hold back the pleasure, but it was a pathetic and meaningless action, like a lantern holding out against the wind. She was already breathing roughly with her mouth open. Vaginal fluid was flowing down from her pussy, and my penis was expanding to its limit. I spread open her gaping, wet pussy and aligned my glans penis with the entrance.

"S-Stop."

Lua shook her head with a terrified expression. However, as a member of the hero's party, I had a duty to punish the Four Heavenly Kings. Just like the royal knight orders did, I had a duty to lead her to the right path through pain and corporal punishment. I rubbed my penis against her crevice and began fondling her breasts.

"Please, please stop. A-Are you the hero? If you're a hero......"

"The hero is even worse than me. So consider yourself lucky."

I ignored Lua's pleas.
