Reject Humanity, Return to Monke

Heading back to the Dungeon's town, I was greeted by a worried Catalina, but when she saw me, that worry was gone and was instead replaced by a beaming smile.

"Jion!" Catalina rushed to hug me with her arms, her cat tail wrapping around my thigh as she pressed her body against mine. Beside me, I could see Drake looking at me with bloody tears of jealousy flowing down his cheeks.

Stroking the catwoman's cat ears, I smiled, and Catalina continued to press her body against mine.

While that was going on, I was granted the scene of every resident in Catalina's Dungeon staring at me like some kind of deity amongst men.

"Uhh… What's the backstory behind that?" I wondered aloud, Catalina's cat ears perking up at my self-question.

"Oh, that? They mostly see me as this tough, stern woman with a chaotic streak in her actions." She explained, and I sighed. I was a bit confused by that statement, seeing that her actions in the Dungeon Games and back in my Dungeon were anything but tough, but I continued to pet her head, the catwoman eliciting a purr as she nuzzled my hand.

"Anyway, I need to go. Domino is probably worrying about me right now, and Drake looks like he's about to commit war crimes against me." I pointed at Drake, to which Catalina twisted her neck to get a glimpse of an incredibly jealous human wearing gauntlets.

Catalina laughed at the scene and let go of me, before hugging the, quite-possibly, strongest human to walk the land with a big smile on her face.

Drake froze up in shock at the contact of a woman who smelled like catnip.

"Thanks, for helping out with my Dungeon." Catalina released the man who still stood stock-frozen on the spot. "Anyway, I shouldn't keep you long. Just follow my felines, and they'll guide you back to the portal. Some healers are also waiting at the Portal Zone. Jion, I'm visiting you after I get my Dungeon under control again."

"Noted." I nodded, and grabbed Drake by the scruff of his neck. The man was still frozen solid in his shocked state. "Drake, I thought you slept with a girl already, why the fuck are you freezing up?"

The man made no move to respond, and I sighed. Dragging the human statue made of flesh and bones, the crowd of residents parted before me, forming a path wide enough for me and my living statue to walk through.

At the end of the crowd, we were greeted by the same felines who guided us here, their body gestures signifying that they were less wary and more grateful for our presence.

"Thank you for helping us. Follow us, we'll take you back to the Portal Zone." I nodded and followed the group of felines, Drake now slung on my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

A while later, Drake snapped out of his funk and struggled on my shoulder.

"Ack! What the fuck? Jionni, put me down!" I complied and promptly dropped him off like a sack of potatoes on the ground. His back hit the stone road and he grunted in pain. "Ouch! What the fuck was the for!?"

"I don't know? Maybe becoming a statue after being hugged and refusing to respond to my actions for a few minutes was a factor?" I said, sarcasm dripping in my tone as he winced.

"… Yeah, sorry about that. Just didn't have any physical, opposite gender contact for a few weeks." I helped Drake up from the ground, and the felines in front of me stopped to look at us, their eyes holding curiosity and confusion within.

Standing up, Drake dusted the dust off of his clothes then began to walk ahead.

"Come on, I still want to sleep." Drake yawned and I chuckled light-heartedly. The rest of the felines continued escorting us as I and Drake made some banter here and there about some things.

I'm still a bit confused as to why I'm not that affected by corpses anymore, but I'll chalk that up to experience.

"Ahh… Home sweet home…" I smiled as I looked at the familiar scene of the forest and the bustling Monster Town in the distance. Four healers accompanying us looked at the scene with a bit of apprehension, but shook it off as they reminded themselves that they were here to heal some of their own who got wounded when defending my Dungeon. "Zurug, bring those humans to the Cagehouse, I'll have some of my primates interrogate them for information."

The red ogre nodded and forcefully brought along 13 injured humans with him, their hands and feet tied to ensure that they wouldn't be able to run.

The healers healed them, but not enough to bring them to full health, only enough to make sure that they wouldn't die.

"Come along, you four. Drake, you can go ahead and get some rest." Drake smiled as he rushed along the path, his destination already set in his mind. I, however, escorted the four healers, who were looking at every angle to see if there were any traps or other things that might harm them.

We traveled along the path, some primates patrolling nearby, greeting us as we walked along. The four healers looked at them with visible shock, clearly signifying that they had never seen this type of monster before in their lives.

For the record, the healers were all felines dressed in robes that would liken one to a mage.

Once we arrived at the gates, we headed inside the town. The huge gates were already open since there weren't any threats inside my Dungeon. All around us, the felines looked at the bustling town with critical eyes, their intentions totally bare to my mind.

'Eh, maybe they're just protective of their master. I can see my primates doing the same thing.' I thought amusedly as I led the four healers to a building that served as a hospital for injured monsters. Inside, some alraunes and arachnes helped with the medication of the injured humans because of their expertise in using herbs and controlling threads.

"Ah, Jionni. Good to see you. I assume the defense on Catalina's Dungeon proved successful?" Wulfstan, who was sitting on a chair nearby the two twins, the injured female twin lying on the bed and the male twin grasping her hand as he sat on a chair next to the bed, voiced out his question with a smile.

"It is as you say." I approached the twins, the male twin still awake and worriedly grasped the hand of his sister and the female deep in her sleep as she focused on recovery. "I've brought some healers. Two of you, remain here and work on the injured."

The felines behind me nodded and two of them separated from the others, their gaze focused on the injured female, their staff glowing as they chanted some verses to complete their healing spell.

"I'll be heading towards Tigre's room now. I'll see you in a bit." Wulfstan nodded and I left the room. I heard a relieved sigh coming from inside, whether from Wulfstan or Constantin, I had no idea, but I was sure that both of them were relieved without a doubt that their other member was going to survive.

With the two felines still following me, I entered another room, and was greeted by a sight I would never have dared to think was possible in my past life.

A giant orgy, with an injured tiger demi-human going strong, even with his wounds.

They all looked at me for a moment, before I noped the fuck out of there and tossed the two felines inside. The felines screeched as they were kicked inside a veritable tiger's den. I stayed behind the door, and heard the shrieks of females as they assaulted the screeching felines, their shouts and scratches at the door doing jack shit as I held the door closed, my survival instincts going to full throttle.

'Sorry about that, felines. I'll give you something as an apology, after you get out alive.' The scratches and yells slowly grinded to a crawl, and feeling that there was no more danger, opened the door, only to find the two felines cowering in the corner as the girls all snarled at the two and me with their clothes on.

Tigre also looked at me once again with looks that could kill, but I paid no heed to that.

"Those two are your healers, let them heal the injured, and kick them out if you so want to continue your activities." I said that all with a straight face, their faces not changing slightly from the scowls they gave me. Hell, the felines also looked at me like I was some kind of evil overlord, so, as a reasonable person, I got the fuck out of dodge and accessed the Market tab to see what kind of gifts I could give to the felines who helped heal the injured.

Exiting the hospital, I then set my sights on a place where I could get some relaxation. Walking up to a stall, I saw an Arachne cooking up some fried meat. She gave me a smile before presenting me with a barbeque stick filled to the brim with juicy meat.

Digging into the food, I sighed as I relished the taste the food gave my taste buds. If this was some kind of cooking manga, the people eating the food would have their clothes burst out, but for me? I would probably have all of my fur shaved off.

Good thing this isn't a cooking manga.

I chuckled, and continued on eating to satisfy my hunger and relax from the stressful day.
