Final Chapter Summary: Introduction of Main Characters, Concubines/Former Harem Edition & Afterword
[Mogunami] Assassin – Currently under a concubine contract.
She has short blue hair and impressively firm, large breasts. Mogunami oversees the sub-organizations of Nina Starlights and also holds the positions of Master at the Great Tree Adventurer Guild’s First Branch and the overall Master.
Originally, she worked as an employee, receptionist, and concubine in the imperial port town of Zazam. However, sensing danger from her wife, she switched employers to Nina Starlights. She is an expert who handles all sorts of jobs for platinum coins, but she also takes proportionally more days off.
A struggle for a single man among childhood friends led to a pact made on a late-night park slide: they would never fall in love again and would never marry, a vow they kept throughout their lives.
On her days off, she sometimes returns to her hometown of Zazam to run a “Solo Brothel.” Due to her concubine contract, with the official approval of his main wife and concubines, she regularly has relations with Deles. Deles commented, “I apologize for calling you firm-looking; you’re just wonderfully elastic.”
[Camilla] Swordsman – De facto concubine.
A tanned female swordsman with a great physique who wields wind-attribute swords. She was formerly a guard in the fallen nation of Karmasol, protecting the Princess Sisters even after being enslaved herself. Initially, she intended to sacrifice herself and offer her body to prevent the sisters from being harmed.
Therefore, she flirted with Deles, the only man among her masters, hoping to captivate him and protect the Princess Sisters. However, her advances were too overt, and Deles, already immersed in his exquisite harem, perceived her as a “disappointing pervert.”
Despite this, she possessed considerable beauty. While working as a slave in Shucco, doing odd jobs and participating in second-rate adventurer activities, she received constant offers to be bought out from other adventurers and merchants, but both she and Nina refused them all. Later, when Deles himself wondered if she was just teasing him without any intention of acting on it, he decided to test her, leading to a significant outcome!
Even after Deles’s marriage, perhaps out of gratitude for how he treated the Princess Sisters, she decided to spend her life as his concubine, and they had two children. It’s another story how she became a distinguished knight in Neo-Karmasol.
[Ragishino] (31 years old) Tamer – Esteemed Prostitute.
A newcomer at Shucco’s A-rank brothel, “Tempting Lips,” and an exceptionally talented tamer. Her taming abilities are remarkably high, and her technique for controlling high-level monsters with a whip is what earns her the title of “Monster-grade Prostitute.” However, it can be said that her true skill was honed through battles with Deles and his party.
She was originally an orphan, adopted by nobles whose manipulation and abandonment ruined her life. To seek revenge, she infiltrated high-level adventurers, dedicating her taming talent and her body to rise in status. She manages an orphanage herself and invests all her earnings there, keeping her incredibly busy at both the brothel and with adventurers.
She occasionally visits Great Tree to borrow their Balloon Seals, Dragons, and Minimum Succubi. In return, for their assistance and as a token of gratitude, she prioritizes Deles’s summons. When an evil woman is needed, she can transform into “Nina Starlights’s Fourth and Fifth Evil Women” with her expert makeup skills. Naturally, she is also adept at such “play.”
Her goal was to level up further and eventually use the forbidden spell, “Human Taming,” to exact revenge on the noble who ruined her life. However, in the story’s epilogue, she legally acquired him as a slave with the help of Nina Starlights and exacted a truly formidable revenge—that’s another story.
[Eliza] (30s) Magician – Ange’s Officially Approved Concubine.
She is the director of the magician dispatch center built by Shifrin for Ange, adjacent to (and connected with) the Adventurer Guild. Originally, she was a giant woman who tried to lure Deles with a honey trap, feigning depravity. Deles, fleeing from her, escaped the country to avoid her embrace, which Ange described as a dangerous trap that once fallen into, one could never escape.
However, when Ange was looking for someone to manage the dispatch center, she found Eliza, who surprisingly fit the criteria perfectly. Ange lured her away from her original adventurer party with financial incentives and other conditions. While primarily handling administrative tasks, Eliza sometimes collaborates with Miro, the master of the dispatch center, to train young magicians and accompany them on dungeon dives.
After Deles’s marriage, she serves as a concubine candidate for when Deles desires “a change of flavor,” as Ange put it. When an evil woman is needed, she transforms into the “Nina Starlights’s Fourth and Fifth Evil Women” with her overwhelming presence and effectively plays her role, satisfying Deles’s desires. Although she intended to recruit him, she ended up being recruited herself, but she seems perfectly content with the outcome.
Even after Deles’s marriage, she is frequently summoned as a concubine and happily answers the call. She eventually conceives two children, both of whom, after growing up, become staff members at the magician dispatch center. Incidentally, one of them is a girl who becomes an illusionist and becomes close friends with Ange’s successor is another story.
[Nini] (31 years old) Pugilist
[Kyuka] (29 years old) Magician
[Isogi] (26 years old) Assassin
These three are from Chanmio’s adventurer party, “Little Lyric.” Though they all appear to be around ten years old, they are fully grown adults and “legal lolis.” They advocate for the status of short adventurers but all ended up becoming Deles’s concubines—that’s another story.
Next, the former harem.
[Ricco Avakane] Swordsman → Slave
A female swordsman with blonde ringlets and glasses, who was a noble lady. Deles was taken in by the Avakane family as her fiancé. However, her overwhelming cuteness led to a twisted fetish of wanting to keep his body “eternally pure.”
While teaching Deles the basics of swordsmanship and educating him in a primarily vegetarian diet rich in herbs that boost magic power to compensate for his short stature, she also made him read novels depicting adventure stories where the protagonist was castrated. She ingrained in him the idea that it was common sense and virtue not to lay a hand on the heroine, and she enjoyed watching his reactions to her shamelessly provocative actions.
However, as the wedding preparations with Deles approached, due to her twisted fetish and desire to protect Deles’s purity, she decided to set out as an adventurer. Together with her other fiancées, they formed “Deles Flyers” and continued to spend their days buying time and toying with Deles.
But everything changed when they added [Crow], a self-proclaimed hero, to their new party. Ricco and the others were actually weak-willed and gave themselves to Crow, obeying his command to abandon Deles. This was based on the idea that once abandoned, he would cry and beg, allowing them to enslave him for eternity and protect Deles’s purity.
However, Deles never returned and was forced to work like a slave by [Crow]. Just as they were resigned to obey, the truth about the fake hero was revealed. It was too late for regrets, and the fake hero, whose real name was [Django], died in prison.
Accused of aiding Django, they desperately completed punitive quests. After many twists and turns, just when they thought they could finally meet Deles, they faced the crisis of being enslaved at his family home. Managing to escape and reunite with Deles, they found he had already been taken in by another “adventurer party that looked like evil women.”
Determined to win Deles back, they challenged him to a duel, scheming that if Deles, who was clumsy with women, had his clothes torn and his underwear exposed, he would be too embarrassed to attack. However, Deles had already had experiences with over a hundred women and easily defeated them. They were defeated, crying, and ended up as slaves.
After that, they were forced to be part of a “face party” as slaves at the local Branusiava Adventurer Guild and were destined to spend their lives as general slaves in the newly opened “Deles Arena.” Seeing Deles occasionally, but living in regret and despair as he appeared truly happy with his newly married evil women, was truly “payback.”
[Frau] Cleric → Slave
A former magic teacher with long silver hair and slightly large breasts, she was scheduled to be Deles’s concubine. She agreed with Ricco’s desire to “protect Deles’s body while keeping it pure.” Despite her age, with little time left, she reveled in her situation of not being touched by Deles.
She felt the same way as the sub-leader of “Deles Flyers,” genuinely enjoying the situation where her advances were rebuffed. She reveled gleefully, thinking of herself as pitiful. However, after being overpowered by [Crow] and giving herself to him, she agreed to abandon Deles to cover it up.
She was truly Ricco’s “partner in crime” concerning Deles, and even when cornered, they cooperated to try and resolve the situation. However, after being defeated in the duel, when they were truly out of options, they began blaming each other. By then, they were both slaves.
Starting work as general slaves at Deles Arena, she finally realized there was no turning back. From then on, she completely suppressed herself, occasionally glaring at Ricco, and fulfilled her role as a slave for life.
[Mijuki] Magician → Slave
A refreshing woman with light blue, twin-tail hair. She was Deles’s former fiancée and enjoyed his confusion when she hugged him. Although she was in a position where she couldn’t defy Ricco or Frau, she apparently believed that Deles’s inability to touch her was due to his education.
When she, too, was overpowered by [Crow] and gave herself to him, she rationalized it by saying that Deles couldn’t hug her back because he wasn’t allowed to.
After Deles’s banishment, she simply went with the flow of the situation. However, as a result of her passive acceptance, when she finally reunited with Deles, he belonged to other women. After being defeated in the duel to win him back, her heart began to break, and she fell into a daze from the shock of becoming a slave.
Later, she regained some sanity and apologized to Deles. In the epilogue, she was freed from slavery before turning thirty and reportedly married someone and lived happily ever after as a bride.
[Harvey] Tamer → Slave (later freed)
A lively woman with blue hair and a healthy physique, she is in the same year as Deles. She was originally the daughter of a baron and was presented to the Avakane family, consequently becoming Deles’s intended concubine. Due to her position, she had no choice but to obey Ricco, her intended main wife.
Being embraced by the self-proclaimed hero [Crow] and the act of banishing Deles were both at Ricco’s command. She deeply regretted the harsh words she spoke, and even when her tamed Kelpie was sold, her genuine desire to apologize to Deles was real. Upon reuniting with Deles, she was the first to apologize.
She had no intention of fighting in the duel and surrendered tearfully upon reuniting with her Kelpie. Even after becoming a slave, she desperately tried to fulfill her role, but was treated like a slave among slaves by Ricco and Frau, who took pity on her and freed her.
After being freed from slavery, she subjected Ricco and Frau to a long, long “payback.” Regarding Deles, Nina warned her to “give up,” and eventually, she became the fourth wife of Deles’s adoptive brother and Ricco’s real brother, [Illion].
Afterword
Thank you for reading for two and a half years.
Actually, the original concept for this work was “A Gag by a Former Gag Writer” and “Barely Out.”
Normally, when writing such provocative novels on Narou, one aims for “barely safe” to avoid deletion. However, I decided to write “barely out,” where deletion would be understandable.
The purpose of writing this work was to create a synergistic effect with “I’m a Useless Noble, After All,” which I started writing a few days earlier. By updating both works daily, I thought they could serve as mutual導線 (guidelines/attractions), leading readers to check out both.
By deliberately making “The Herbivore Hero and the Lustful Berserker” a conspicuously playful work, I aimed to attract readers with “Who is this idiot writing such outrageous things?” If this work were deleted, it would also generate buzz: “That guy was also serializing another work, wasn’t he…?” thus leading people to the other work.
In that sense, I intended this as a “level that isn’t directly deleted but could be deleted at any moment,” a stimulating work that would draw readers in, with “I’m a Useless Noble, After All” as the main focus, aiming for publication. Essentially, it was meant to be a decoy, a lure, but it ended up receiving higher acclaim (sweat).
Well, after pushing this far, perhaps it won’t be deleted. Or rather, it even reached the final selection for a contest and was almost published. At that point, ulterior motives arose, and I thought, “If I rewrite seventy percent, it might be publishable?!”
Of course, if asked about the content, I would insist, “It’s fiction!” or “It’s my imagination!” But perhaps I won’t be writing such dangerous works anymore. Although, works like “Evil Woman Harem,” which is now updated monthly, still carry a faint scent of that.
I believe there are many inconsistencies and name overlaps in the story. I will fix them if the opportunity arises, and I am still actively accepting typo and misprint reports on Narou. I will correct them if reported.
The story could continue if I desired, but I also want to write many new works with the serious aim of publication. Therefore, this story will end here for now. If time permits, I plan to add a special chapter from Ricco’s perspective, possibly within the year.
So, please keep the work bookmarked. As for ratings, if you found it interesting, that would be encouraging. Truly, your support has been a great encouragement. Thank you for indulging my prank until the end!
Furthermore, “Harem Collapse, Twelve Years Later” continues to be updated daily, so please do give that one your attention as well!
