Monster Harem In The Tower
Chapter 116: Hollow Plea: Try Not to Be Bad

Chapter 116: Hollow Plea: Try Not to Be Bad

Validia was still clutching the thin cloth to her chest.

But this time, she looked straight at Nathan.

Those large eyes were clear—too clear, it was terrifying.

No anger. No sadness.

Only... honest confusion.

"Nathan..." she whispered softly.

Nathan swallowed, instinctively bracing himself.

That voice was way too gentle for a body that massive.

"I don’t know why..." Validia began.

"But every time you all bathe together...

when you touch each other...

and smile...

and laugh..."

She bit her lower lip.

Her fingers clenched the cloth even tighter.

"My chest... it burns."

Nathan froze. Too afraid to respond wrong.

Validia continued.

"It’s not painful," she said, tilting her head slightly.

"But it feels like something’s boiling inside. Like... like I’m being cooked."

Nathan instinctively took half a step back.

But Validia leaned forward instead.

"I want to hug you. Really tight.

Until I feel better."

She chuckled quietly—but the sound felt... off.

Like laughter that didn’t know why it existed.

"But I think you’ll break."

Nathan inhaled sharply. "W-what?"

Validia nodded slowly, still honest.

"When you gave them new clothes... I felt it again. My chest tightened I wanted to punch everyone at that time."

Nathan’s eyes went wide. "You what?!"

Validia took a deep breath.

"But I know I shouldn’t. Probably."

She looked down at the cloth in her hands.

Then looked back at Nathan.

"And when they put the clothes on my finger... I wanted to chew them. Tear them apart. And swallow it."

Nathan stood frozen.

Validia smiled faintly.

A pure, innocent smile—the kind that should’ve belonged to a countryside girl,

not a giant who could crush mountains.

"So they can’t wear it anymore."

Nathan finally spoke, voice low.

"Okay. That’s... a lot." He sat down slowly.

Validia lowered her head briefly.

Then looked up again.

"But I didn’t do it," she said proudly.

"I just held it in."

Nathan nodded slowly, trying to steady his breath.

"Good. Good job."

Validia seemed to think for a moment, then asked in her pure tone—

"Is this alright?"

Nathan didn’t answer right away.

He raised one hand, gently pressing against the dirt wall beside him.

Cold. Damp.

But compared to this situation,

the wall made so much more sense.

"Honestly?" he whispered.

"I don’t know either."

Validia looked at him again—

this time, her expression softened just a little.

"I just don’t want to be left behind."

Nathan stayed silent.

Validia shut her lips.

For the first time since they entered this hole,

she looked truly small—

even if her body was still tree-sized.

"I could crush them all,

and keep you for myself,"

she said, voice dropping to a murmur.

"...but I don’t want your smile to disappear.

I don’t want them... gone.

I’m happy living with them.

With you.

But... the tightness in my chest when I see all that—

it’s almost the same as what I feel now,

when I shrink myself down."

A small smile bloomed on her face.

A smile that, for some reason,

made Nathan’s chest tighten too.

Nathan finally lowered his head, avoiding Validia’s deep gaze.

His heart felt strange—like there was something heavy he wanted to say, but couldn’t let out.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally opened his mouth.

"Sorry... I..." Nathan’s voice was soft, even slightly stammering.

But before he could continue, Validia interrupted—her voice gentle but firm.

"Why you say sorry?"

Nathan froze, confused for a moment.

A simple question, yet it struck deeper than he expected.

"...I... don’t know." Nathan exhaled.

"I just feel like... I don’t have anything to give you."

Validia let out a soft chuckle, leaving Nathan dumbfounded.

That laugh sounded light, as if it carried no burden at all.

"What are you talking about?" Validia asked in her usual innocent tone, a bit puzzled by Nathan’s words.

"You don’t have to give me anything. Just... you being here is enough."

Nathan looked at Validia’s large face, now bowed down—almost like a child confused by their own words.

Those big, bright eyes held a curiosity that couldn’t be held back.

"Aren’t you..." Nathan tried to explain,

"Aren’t you bothered by the fact that I... can’t do anything for you?"

Validia slowly raised her head. Her expression was pure, unbothered—

even as that giant body curled up on the ground.

Her eyes looked at him without hesitation.

Her smile never faded.

"No," she replied simply.

"Why would I be bothered? I don’t need anything."

Nathan felt a little awkward, still sitting there in front of that massive face, speaking unfiltered.

Somehow, this situation felt surreal—talking with a being this huge,

who calmly and honestly spoke of feelings she’d been holding back.

"But I... want to give you something," Nathan admitted.

"I don’t know what. But I feel like... I should be able to give you something."

Validia looked at him, silent for a moment.

Then she laughed again—louder this time, more sincere.

"Why do you keep saying that?" she tilted her head, confused.

"I don’t want your things. I want you to stay with me."

She laughed, but this time, there was warmth flowing in her voice—

like waves brushing against Nathan’s heart without him noticing.

He went silent, unsure.

"But... I can’t give you what you deserve."

Validia’s smile didn’t waver in the slightest.

She replied gently,

"I don’t need anything to deserve you.

Just being here is enough."

Nathan felt something shifting—

not just within himself,

but in how he saw Validia.

Something he had been trying to understand, yet the more he tried, the more elusive it became.

Validia let out another soft giggle.

"You’re so funny, Nathan," she said, patting his head now within reach.

"You think you need to give me something.

But... I just want to be with you."

Nathan didn’t know what else to say.

There were no words to explain the mess of feelings inside him,

but one thing was certain—

Validia didn’t care about what he had.

She just cared that he was here.

Validia went quiet for a moment, her eyes fixed on Nathan’s still-confused face.

"Just stay with me now and don’t forget always talk to me every time we see each other." Validia said softly.

"That’s all I need. That’s enough to make me not want to punch them anymore."

Nathan flinched, his heartbeat suddenly racing faster than usual.

Validia looked at him with a calm expression,

but behind it—hope.

Hope she never voiced.

So honest and pure—

like a naive man who believes love and trust alone are enough to build a relationship,

but tragically, without realizing—

if a woman doesn’t feel desired,

if there’s no proof of her being wanted,

then she might unknowingly open the floodgates for a predator to taint the sacredness they share.

---

Nathan finally smiled—slowly, shyly.

"Okay... I’ll do that."

Validia chuckled again, hiding her face behind her large hand.

"Good. I don’t want to be alone this time.

My chest still hurts,

but... my mind feels a little calmer."

Nathan could feel it too—the weight in his chest, once full of uncertainty now felt just a little bit lighter.

Nathan lowered his head slightly, both hands resting on his knees.

What am I supposed to do now?

The hole they were in fell silent. Too silent.

Only Validia’s deep, gentle breathing remained—and for some reason, it was soothing.

But her smile stayed the same.

Not a shy smile.

Not a teasing one either.

Just... a smile.

Like she hadn’t realized how absurd her last sentence had been.

Nathan swallowed. He didn’t know how to follow up.

Suddenly, Validia shifted slightly. Her hands gripped the thin cloth tighter, and her voice came out in a rush—like someone afraid of missing the moment.

"Y-you said you feel like giving me something... right?" she blurted.

Nathan frowned.

"...Yeah?"

Validia lowered her head a little, then lifted it again—this time locking eyes with Nathan.

"Then... what if..."

She bit her lower lip, hesitant but clearly trying to be honest.

"What if you give me... your meat stick?"

Nathan didn’t move. His soul had temporarily left his body.

Did she... just say... meat stick? Why now? She... Nathan saw a tear on her eyelids.

Nathan blinked. Was she... crying?

This wasn’t just about lust. She really thought playing Nathan’s private blade is something special.

"Just a bit... I just want to try. Maybe if I suck on it, my chest won’t feel tight anymore."

She wiped her eyes clumsily with the cloth, then looked back up—still hopeful. Still too honest for her own good.

"I promise, I won’t break it."

The soul of The First Legendary Dick Master trembled.

That lovely request echoed within him, slipping through the cracks of empathy and primal curiosity.

Wh...what should I do? Nathan panicked.

I can’t just ignore her... she looks like she’s in pain... but that request... what the hell was that?

He looked down.

His pants had become the center of a moral dilemma.

Then—he stood.

A strange smile spread across his face.

No. This isn’t about me. It’s not about how it would feel... to get sucked by giant lips.

It’s not about sensation I would feel.

It’s about her. Her peace of mind. Her happiness.

His soul boiled—torn between the instincts of a man and the weight of responsibility.

"Please, Nathan." Validia trembled, her smile still intact.

---

And so, the monster girl who could break mountains... asked for kindness, in the most absurd way imaginable.

---

Nathan grasped the waistband of his pants with both hands. "Don’t break it, okay?" He chuckled.

---

And so, the random human who had been summoned because of a bug... answered her plea.
