Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties

"..."

Cero lay on the sofa.

Roka had left despite the hints. It was now obvious that it wasn't about hinting at it. There was something more to it.

'She asked if I was joking, if I was making fun of her…' Cero stared at the ceiling. 'Now that I think about it, that's how she has been reacting to me for months. Of course, I'm jokingly flirting every time… But I'm still flirting with her. Maybe that's the problem. Joking around with Roka is just joking around. It won't lead to anything more…' He let out a sigh. 'At the same time, did I even want her to accept me? I told myself that I would tell her about the time that I entered the spaceship, but I ended up making jokes when the opportunity presented itself. Admitting that I'm a creep is tough… Especially to someone I like so much.'

There was no denying that he liked Roka a lot. Why wouldn't he? Beautiful, funny, cute, courageous with a real sense of duty and self-sacrifice… With just a hint of misandry, a big and thick cake, and a cute strawberry of patheticness on top that shone whenever she got horny or embarassed.

'Yeah.' Cero nodded to himself. 'She's perfect for me.'

He closed his eyes, trying to go to sleep.

However, an issue was keeping him from doing so.

'What the hell…?' Cero sighed, opening his eyes to the biggest tent made by the blanket, held upwards by his raging and throbbing erection. 'I can't sleep like this. I've been hard as fuck eversince I laid on the sofa. I wasn't this hard when Roka was here…'

Unbeknownst to Cero, his body had gotten quite used to receiving a massage while on this very sofa.

Without even knowing about it, his body was waiting for Rekka to come work her magic.

'Tsk.'

This posed a real problem for Cero.

'I swore to myself that I would never jerk off again.' He thought to himself with a nod. 'Well, I didn't swear it. But it was implied, after everything that happened…'

Meanwhile, on the other side of the apartment and beyond Roka's room.

'I always do this… I always do this with him, to him!'

She was trying to build up the courage. Not to touch him, kiss him, or anything like that. Those were out of the question… As long as he was awake-

'No!' Roka quickly shook her head. 'I did it once, and never again. I'm already regretting it like crazy. God… Why is it so hard for me to believe that someone likes me? Why is it much harder for me to touch him when he's awake and willing? What the fuck is that about? Something is seriously wrong with me!'

She shook her head again, her thoughts going off topic.

'That's not the point.' Roka jumped off her bed. 'I'm going to the living room, and… And I'm going to talk to him.' She nodded to herself. 'I'll talk to him… Tell him about what's on my mind… Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. I won't tell him about last night though, I'm not ready for that just yet… Or about the fact that I saw him having… Intimate relations with Rea, or with Lith, or with… Well, everyone really! I'll just tell him that I get anxious, and scared, and insecure… Insecure?! I can't tell him that! That would be pathetic! Any attraction he had for me would immediately disappear! I have to be confident and all… But I'm not! Fuck!'

Noticing that her every thought was being opposed by her every other thought, Roka took a deep breath in, rubbed her hands, sighed, and walked towards her room's door.

'I have no idea what I'm going to tell him or what I'm going to talk to him about… I'm going to. Whatever… Whatever comes out of my mouth, comes out of my mouth, and that's that!' She nodded. 'I'll let my mouth come up with-'

Roka's body froze as her hand touched the door handle.

'Not in my underwear though…' She gulped, turning away to look for some clothes. 'Going out of my bedroom in my underwear is just too much!'

Roka quickly grabbed the first clothes she found, caught her reflection on the window for a moment, frowned, took off the clothes, and changed.

'Can't show up like a bum!'

She quickly changed, walked up to the door, heart beating fast as ever, opened it, walked out of her room and…

"Oh." She pressed her lips together, both incredibly disappointed and relieved. "He's gone…"

Roka could tell though, as she got back into her room and closed the door behind her.

'I'm much more disappointed than I am relieved… Even though I felt anxious and scared, I wanted to talk to him…' She blushed, staring at her fidgeting hands. 'I guess…' Roka gulped. 'I guess I really, really, like him.'

Unable to sleep due to the -Situation- that he had going on south, Cero decided to go out for a walk.

Dawn would rise in an hour or two.

'Guess I'll just walk until it calms down.' He shrugged.

Unfortunately, that didn't quite go as planned.

Taking a corner, the noise of loud music resonated.

They waved at him, and he shrugged. 'Why not?' He thought, and walked into the nightclub.

"No sleep in Wor City!"

"Partying till next week!"

Looking around, 'Pretty good being a guy on Wor.' Cero couldn't help but think.

The nightclub was filled to the brim. However, there was a problem.

At 4am, only certain groups of people remained.

There were fat males, ugly males, males so drunk that they were throwing up on themselves… And an overwhelming majority of females, praying for the opportunity to get lucky.

Those who had succeeded in finding a date for the night had left long ago. But those were only about 5% of the females that had come out to the nightclub. Another 20% had given up on the night.

75% waited for the opportunity… Enter Cero.
