The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me-Chapter 451: Clear Reward
- Rumble…
The eye, split in half and falling, trembled with a grotesque sound.
“”…””
As the heroines watched the scene with bated breath, I sheathed my sword with a calm expression.
“…Did we… really do it?”
A voice filled with tension began to leak from among the heroines.
“Did we win?”
Excited voices began to echo all around.
- Slump…
The body of the Eye, which had been wriggling grotesquely to the end, went limp.
“It’s our victory, everyone.”
“W-We did it!!”
“Frey!!”
“Serves you right, you bastard!!”
As my declaration of victory spread, cheers erupted from all around.
“Haa, haa…”
To be honest, I felt a bit dazed.
To finally reach the end I had so desperately wanted.
It didn’t feel real at all.
“Are you okay, Frey?”
“…Are you alright?”
I stood silently for a while, then suddenly collapsed to the ground as a wave of intense pain hit me. Serena and Ruby rushed to my side.
“To be honest, not really.”
“What?”
“I used too much power… If I keep going like this, I’ll probably disappear by the end of today.”
Their faces froze as they processed my words.
“…Just kidding, just kidding.”
“”…””
“Ugh, seriously, I’m joking.”
Their grips on my shoulders were so intense that I quickly decided to stop teasing them.
Congratulations on clearing the game!
You have completed the Hero’s mission!
“I have an ally in the system. There’s no problem.”
Since the system had declared a ‘clear,’ everything was truly over now.
Reward: Happy Ending
What lay ahead for us was only a happy ending.
“…Phew.”
Feeling overwhelmed with emotion, I lay back and took a deep breath.
“I feel liberated.”
Since I became aware of the Hero’s power, the fate and duty that constantly bound me had vanished, and everything felt incredibly light.
In the past, no matter how much I rested, I never felt truly rested.
Now, just lying down on the ground felt so comfortable.
From now on, I could spend my time as leisurely and happily as I wanted whenever I wished.
Just thinking about it made me feel incredibly happy.
“You’re not really going to die, are you? Right?”
“If you suddenly disappear, I’ll kill you, Frey.”
I lay there, basking in the moment, smiling happily. But Serena and Ruby lay down next to me with worried expressions.
“No, I’m really just tired…”
“”…””
Scratching my head and making excuses, I noticed the heroines’ cold stares focused on me.
“…Gulp.”
For some reason, I had a bad feeling that I wouldn’t get to rest easily in the future either.
I hoped it was just a feeling.
- Squirm, squirm…
“Hmm?”
As I was thinking about wrapping things up and getting up, I suddenly felt an unusual energy coming from over the lump of the Eye’s body.
“W-What is that!?”
“T-That’s…?”
From within the split Eye, something amorphous was wriggling and crawling out.
“W-What the hell!?”
“Ugh…”
“So disgusting.”
What on earth was happening? It was supposed to be over.
.
.
.
.
.
- Squirm, squirm…
“Should we attack it?”
“No, we shouldn’t act rashly.”
Ruby stepped forward to confront the mysterious mass emerging from the Eye, but Serena calmly stopped her.
“Let’s just watch for now.”
I agreed with her.
If we made the wrong move, it could lead to disaster.
And, I had a rough idea of what might be happening.
“You bast… ards…”
As I calmly stood there with my arms crossed, the wriggling mass began to take shape.
First, it formed the rough shape of a body, then arms and legs sprouted.
Next came the face, followed by the features.
“I will never forgive… huh?”
As the mass, now clearly recognizable, pointed at us with a very familiar voice, it finally noticed its transformation and wore a bewildered expression.
“…What is this?”
The figure looked almost human.
“Is this… me?”
To be precise, it had taken the form of a weak girl whose entire body seemed to be melting like slime.
“…This is quite disturbing.”
Ever since the incident with Aishi, I had my suspicions, but…
Was this really its preference?
“What did you do to me…”
I looked at it with a slightly nauseated expression.
The Eye examined its new body with a look of disdain and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Why am I taking on the disgusting form of a human?”
“…”
“What kind of trickery is this!!!”
Asking us, who didn’t know anything, was futile.
And why did it yell at us when ‘she’ was the one who transformed?
“…Can we attack now?”
“This is really annoying.”
“If it had taken that form from the start, it might have messed with our minds…”
In any case, the fact that the repulsive entity known as the Eye had transformed into such a form was giving us all quite a bit of mental anguish.
“I think I understand what’s going on.”
As we all grimaced and gave cold looks, Kania, who had been standing quietly by my side, spoke up.
“It seems that the previously unclassifiable entity, the Eye, has been fixed into this form as the ‘Chaos God’.”
“…But why this form?”
“I’m not sure, but…”
Kania, with a look of contempt, murmured as she looked at the Eye that had taken on a human form.
“Maybe it secretly desired to have a girl’s body all along.”
“No… that’s impossible…”
The Eye vehemently denied Kania’s deduction, shaking with impotent rage.
“…Ah.”
But then, as if realizing something, it muttered.
“The alter-ego… Did it really find satisfaction in that body…? Truly…?”
It seemed to be referring to the Aishi incident.
Now that I think about it, the appearance did resemble Aishi a bit.
“Anyway, it seems that the last strike resulted in this form… The fortunate part is–”
“Heh, heh.”
As I quietly listened to Kania’s explanation, the Eye started laughing unpleasantly.
“Heh heh heh… heh heh heh…”
Then, raising both hands above its head, the now human eye Began speaking to us in a condescending tone.
“Though I have become this disgusting form… my strength remains unchanged.”
“”…””
“So, this time, I’ll…”
But then, as if something dawned on it, it blinked and stopped talking.
“…N-no.”
Gripping its hands tightly, it tried to muster its power, but nothing changed.
“…Having lost the battle, it seems to have become an empty husk to its former self, no different from a human.”
Kania continued in a cold voice, watching the Eye struggle.
“The moment Frey’s strike landed, the battle was decided. For a being that exists beyond the system’s regulations, it’s quite an anticlimactic end.”
“No, no.”
Realizing its predicament, the Eye vehemently denied its situation and lunged at us.
“Nooooo!!!”
“”…””
“How dare you humans… What right do you have to define me, a being from beyond…? You still don’t understand your place…”
It seemed like it needed to be taught its place.
- Slap!
“Heuk.”
As I slapped it with all my strength, it let out a weak scream and fell back.
“Ah…”
Rubbing its swollen cheek, it sat up with a bewildered expression.
“How does it feel…”
Approaching it with a cold voice, I began to whisper.
“To become a mere plaything?”
“…Khek.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I kicked it in the stomach, causing it to fold over and writhe on the ground in pain.
“Stop it!”
As I raised my hand again, it clung to my leg, pleading.
“Stop it, I said!”
Raising its voice showed it still didn’t understand its situation.
- Slap!
“Stop…”
- Slap!!
“Stop…”
Grabbing its shoulders, I continued to slap it with all my might.
- Slap!!!
“Sto–”
- Slap!!
“…”
Until its left cheek was a tattered mess, it glared at me, but its eyes began to change as it realized the reversal of our positions.
“U-ugh…”
Finally understanding its utter defeat, it was overwhelmed with terror.
“Did you have fun?”
Why did it have to provoke us?
“Wait a minute–”
- Slap!
Why cause this mess?
- Slap!
“We’ll pay you back for all your enjoyment.”
As the repeated slaps brought a new, unfamiliar pain, it began to unwittingly cry.
- Whack!
This time, Ruby came up behind her and hit her in the stomach with all her might.
“…Look forward to it.”
“Ah, ugh… ugh…”
Drooling and trembling, it began to shake violently at Ruby’s bitter words.
“I feel so much better.”
“…So what should we do?”
Watching Ruby, I whispered, and she answered with a disappointed look.
“I’d love to take it as a trophy, but… it’s too dangerous.”
“Even though Kania said it’s no different from a human?”
“Hmm… still…”
As Ruby and I started discussing our options.
“I have to… I must escape… somehow, and plan for the future…”
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“…Hiek!?”
The heroines, noticing the Eye trying to crawl away, began their assault.
“It’s your turn to get beaten!”
“Clench your teeth, bastard.”
“Save meeee!!!”
.

A bit later.
“Shall we head back?”
Having decided the Eye’s fate, we began looking for a way to return home.
“We still have some power left. How about using a large-scale teleportation spell…?”
“No, that could strain Frey’s soul.”
“Besides, we’re in spiritual form. If we return to our bodies…”
As the heroines, who had vented their frustration on the Eye, started suggesting ideas with refreshed expressions…
“…”
I stood, deep in thought, looking at the beaten form of the Eye, feeling a strange sense of unease.
What is it?
It felt like I was forgetting something, but I couldn’t figure out what.
What was it?
What had I…
“…Ah!!”
“Gah! That scared me.”
“What’s wrong, Frey?”
Suddenly clapping my hands and standing up, the heroines looked at me in surprise.
“We haven’t made our wish yet!”
As I told them, I clapped my hands and spoke out.

“Sun God, you’re watching, right? Please come here.”
- Puff…!
And the next moment, a cloud of smoke spread out before me.
“Quick, make your wish…”
As I waved away the smoke and tried to prompt my wish.
“Ba-bam!”
“Congratulations on clearing the game!”
“You did it!”
Seeing the Moon God and Star God standing next to the Sun God, who awkwardly smiled and set off fireworks, I asked with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you all here…?”
“Ah, well…”
Scratching her head, the Star God began to speak for the group.
“We’re here to grant your wishes.”
“…What?”
As I tilted my head in confusion, a system window quietly appeared before me.
Clear Reward - Happy Ending
The number of wishes you can make has increased from 1 to 3.
“…Wow.”
For the first time ever, I wanted to kiss the /genesisforsaken
