Chapter 34: Why are you here?

Hyoizaburoo thought that it would be an ordinary day for him.

He would wake up, open his shop and start selling his goods which were normal, until looking at what he is selling, sometimes a customer might turn away and realize that sometimes, there are things not worth buying, even if it was cheap.

There's also the fact that he was famous for having his goods being defective, especially in this world where once could die if the tools they bought might end up killing them in the end.

But Hyoizaburoo didn't care.

He is the most talented Magic Artistian in this village and the most creative one. His tools are so advance that he could see into the future, where his tools would revolutionize the world.

Maybe this weird magic glass might be able to see into the future, or his prized wand that can cast multiple high-tier spells that would come in handy to settle wars, he might even be hailed as the grand artisian in the world....if not for him to check twice if there was any problem with his magic tools. Which he won't as he didn't want to settle with failure when he was the one who made it.

'Its not the tools fault for breaking, but the people who uses them!' Hyoizaboroo huff as another customer just shook his head and departed from his store, not wanting to buy some defective products.

Hyoizoboroo has even started discounting his tools just to sell them yet no one seems to want to buy any of them due to his reputation that was spreading from the land.

In the end, he wasn't able to sell goods for today as he can only lament on the people's blindness of unable to see how special his magic tools are.

"I bet Yuiyui and the others are gonna be so disappointed I couldn't sell anything today." Hyoizaburo sighed as his stomach grumbled, unable to feed himself as he thought about heading deep into the woods to hunt for food.

Yet, before he could think, he suddenly felt like someone sneaked behind him and had his mouth covered in a white cloth. Before he could lose conscious, a sweet voice calls out to him. A longing voice that send chills to his body.

"Sleep well Darling~ Fufufu"

When he woke up, he was in a cave somewhere, locked inside a cage which have everything he would need.

A workbench, some materials and even his living conditions were far better than his own home.

He was shocked!

Especially the one who kidnapped him happened to be a bewitching beauty smiling at him live a loving wife.

"Say Aah~" the female captor simply fed Hyoizaburoo some soup while having a mixure of a shame and joy on her face. Giving such a loving vibe towards him. Not realizing that she had ended up kidnapping him.

This confuses him as he didn't know why he was in this situation until the woman begins to talk about herself.

"You might not have remember me but you once saved me in the past..."

Her tale begins as she was kicked out by her tribe and was left to fend for her own as a child.

Without any support or care, she would have died if not for such a dashing man coming in and saving her, when she was almost eaten by a monster.

His mysterious charm and striking looks had captivated her to the point where she wanted to come with him since she wanted to be by his side.

"I am sorry but we are not fated to be together. There is already someone in my heart and I cannot be with you because of that." She said to him as he thought for a minute before realizing that what she said to him was true and might really had forgotten about him.

In truth, the girl or Hiroki just sneered at him, looking at the fool who would believe what she says is the truth.

As for why? To stroke a Chuuni's ego.

For a delusional man, having your delusion clouding your judgement would soon face his own consequences, when one can't discern fiction from reality.

Believing your delusional view might cause you underthink your circumstances, unable to see false in someone's story because she is stroking his delusional ego by believing his fictional story.

As for why Hiroki was able to do this while at the same time, currently in Megumin's place, he ended up opening a new skill which he had an extra skill ticket to use.

-Flashback: Yesterday, Midnight-

[Self-Cloning Division Technique]

- Only one body? No problem! With this self-replicating technique from the famous H-tai Company, harem problems can be solved by splitting yourself into multiple clones, provided that you have either mental capacity to control all of them or you have Schizophrenia. Now you don't have to be lonely talking to yourself anymore. Also, its not incest if you f*** yourself, its just self-masturbation.

He eneded up getting this skill and immediately uses it to split himself into two as he began a whole new world of being able to control two bodies at the same time. Which was weird as F*** but he could roll with it.

But before he could get used to controlling two bodies at once, he immediately felt his other self slowly losing control and the other him began to morph into a female form which Hiroki was shocked of it happening.

"Hey XXX! Long time no see~ Wait, you look different...Huh? Did you lose weight? I can't believe the laziest person I know would end up exercising. And turning out to be a stunner at that." The other clone just looked at Hiroki smugly before getting close and as she touches his face, her expression turned into shocked.

"Wait, I can touch you? No...why do you look young....No way...Did you, the hardest variant to be killed, just died?!"

While being surprised at the sudden hallucinations he had in the past had actually materialize into reality, a sudden spark of idea suddenly began to turn on his head upon seeing her.

"Hey, can you..."

-End of Flashback-

This female form was actually Hiroki's female Variant who ended up being recreated due to Hiroki's sense of loneliness, made from his hallucinations that there are many Variants of him existing in parallel universes.

It might be that his mental health had started to deteriorate and ended up remaking her back, she ended up believing that she was just Hiroki's hallucination, when in reality, parallel universes do exist and she really was his alternate form from the universe where everything was reverse.

She was a perfectionist and a narcissist who never made any mistakes and only thing she loves is herself. Yet, when she meet Hiroki, who was made of imperfections...

Her love quickly changes into longing as she immediately started to love the opposite of her, to the point of extreme obssession.

Was it how he was strong despite the setbacks? how he was willing to help others? Or was it the sense of curiosity in him that she wanted to know more of him?

No, there was no reason other than her wanting to have him to herself.

It was the first time she had fallen in love with someone else, who regard herself as a perfect being, yet seeing how much he hates himself...

'I want him.....'

She would make him be hated with his family, only to look at her.

'I Want him...'

She would make him to never have friends, only she would be by his side.

'I Want Him....'

She would drive anyone who got close to him.

'I WANT HIM!'

Yet, despite that...he still persisted.

How...

'I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM. I WANT HIM.'

She would tolerate this scum, she would be the most reliable person he could ask for. She could even be...

"And thats how I broke this man by slowly depriving him of the love and how he would become a lacky that would do your bidding! Am I reliable Hiroki? Do you want to praise me? I want to be praise! Please! Please! Please?!" Hiroki, who had been planning on manipulating Megumin's father as he wanted his clone to simply kidnap him and just lock him up, saw that he ended up like a change man who just graduated from his chuuni ways and even starting to make good magic tools that aren't defective and look normal.

Seeing the girl's happy expression of wanting to be praised, Hiroki smiled at her.

"Why are you even here?" She then cried.
