Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

Out of the Blue

"So, you think that isekai novels arose by a guy who was really summoned to another world and who after defeating the demon king returned to write his journey."

"Exactly."

"...Seriously?!"

My group of friends and I were discussing about the origins of certain genres of literature in the deserted library of the high school, when Dean began to talk about the so over-exploited ‘isekai’ theme. That Japanese subgenre that revolve around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe, usually a fantasy world and which generally has hundreds of women looking for MC to copulate with for no reason...is now our main topic of conversation.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think these kind of works are bad. I just feel some authors are too lazy to write their characters, whether it's from the black-haired protagonist who's a magnet of airheads, or the heroines who have no decision-making ability. It's almost as if there was only one man in the world for them! Ah, but anyway, It's not as if this only applies to this ‘genre’. In fact, you can see it everywhere.

Now, what the hell’s wrong with Dean? From one moment to the next he came up with a completely ridiculous theory. And no, this is not a joke. He’s really serious about this. He wants to convince us that something like that happened! Ah, but whatever... I don't plan to waste my time listening nonsenses.

“I'm going to the bathroom... Won't be long."

"Running away from Dean, huh?"

"Wise choice, Ray."

"How mean, guys!"

Having raised from the table and left the library, I took the longest path to the bathrooms and upon arrival sat in the furthest cubicle from the door just to snoop on my social media. I knew that when Dean starts something it didn't end until half an hour later, so I wanted to make time go by quickly in order to alleviate the suffering of having to listening him speak.

Yeah... That was what I intended to do. It wasn't until minutes after sitting on the toilet and opening my twitter account that a kind of light began to shine brightly from the floor. I instinctively closed my eyes, and for a moment I felt hearing the peal of several bells, until it finally stopped. However, something even more shocking came with it.

"Whoa, what the hell was that?!"

When I decided to open my eyes, still had twinkles and spots of light on my eyeballs, so I chose to close them again. It was something like as if I had seen the sun at its zenith directly for several minutes. Nevertheless, even though I still couldn't see what the hell was going on, I was able to hear something that immediately puzzled me. Specifically, a woman's voice echoing all over the place

"Ooh, Your Highness. The summoning has been a complete success!” She said.

Which brings us to this exact moment.

Huh…? A woman?! Your Highness?! Wait a moment, what do you mean with summoning? Who the hell got into the bathroom?! Why I’m blind?! The fact I can't see what's going on isn't helping me at all!!

Nerves are eating at me right now! Let's see, I was supposed to be inside the men’s room, but suddenly I started hearing a certain woman's voice. So, was I mistaken and entered to the ladies room? That could be possible. Now, how to explain the crazy things that woman’s saying?

"Here’s the man who will save our race!" Exclaimed the same person again.

Once I got my vision back...I saw it. Inside a long and wide stone-covered structure, hundreds of people kneel around me, each holding a kind of wizard's staff in their hands and wearing an ankle-length black cloak. Almost as if they’re some sort of cult or something. Even so, the most amazing detail came from their heads.

Holy moly! All of these people have bunny ears! That's not all, the hoods of their cloaks have openings for their ears! How cute...! No, wait a minute! Why are they wearing bunny ears?! Am I dreaming or what? Did I hit my head on something? Maybe the bathroom ceiling collapse right in my head... No, I don't think have such bad luck. Damn, this feels too real! What if...this is another world?

While I'm in my thoughts... "Yaaaaay!!” All the «Rabbit People» suddenly shout for joy in unison, hugging each other and celebrating what seemed to be a success for them. However, I am still shocked and speechless trying to process this whole thing happening... You know, this is making me looks like a descended God.

With that said, how is it possible that being in the bathroom of the high school I could ended up in a meeting of weirdos wearing rabbit ears and adoring me...? What the **** is this!! Who wrote this slop?! Stop celebrating and explain to me what's going on!!

"Stay calm, my people! It's not the time to celebrate yet!" Exclaimed another woman.

As I sat there searching for answers about my situation, a strong voice came from behind me making my flesh crawl. The «Rabbit People» fell to their knees once more and all without question. The moment I decided to turn around, I confirmed it. That sedan chair, the crown on her head, her majestic clothes... There was no doubt. The mere presence of their Queen, let me know that this was the cliché scene from just any isekai novel with no real plot.

Desperate Measures

"So, your Highness Lulu Kanin, isn't it? You are telling me that I really was summoned to another world and you are the Queen who rules the country of Lebunnya, better known as the «Rabbit Kingdom»."

"Exactly."

"Why do you respond in the same way as Dean?!"

After the «Rabbit People» calmed down thanks to the Queen's words, she, her two guards and I went to a private room where I was given the necessary answers to all my questions. First, the Queen started by introducing herself with a rather peculiar name, which to be honest sounds like the name I would give my rabbit if I really had one. Right away, she mentioned her status, and that I'm in the Kingdom of Lebunnya, an island nation located to the east of the continent. Finally, she explained that the people gathered here are indeed rabbits, being most of them magicians and summoners. All right, yes, everything makes sense, I guess... Now, all that remains is to clarify a doubt.

"I understand what you are saying but, for what reason I been summoned to your world?"

Have I been summoned here to defeat the Demon King? To stop the calamity that will devastate the world? Just a few moments ago, they said something about me being the person who will save their race... So I deduce it's something of that sort. Well, it could also be that I have to save them from another race wanting to end theirs... I don't really know.

"To maintain the national fertility rate."

"...Huh?"

“You see... A few years ago, a virus began to spread throughout our country, ending without exception the lives of all male rabbits. Because of this, I was forced to take such a measure, thus gathering all the magicians and summoners of our country in order to carry out an imperious invocation ceremony."

Huuuuuh?! T-To maintain the national fertility rate?! Whoa, whoa, whoa... And here I was thinking I had been summoned for something more dangerous like having to fight demons! But it's as simple as having sex with them...? No, what did I just say? That's even more dangerous! They're all women, while I'm the only man alive right now... And not only that, we're talking about RABBITS. Have you ever heard the words '**** like rabbits'? Well, then you'll understand my fear!

"I know that bringing you here has been a selfish act, but unfortunately we had no other option. In recent weeks we tried all kind of methods, from magic sex reassignment surgery to the use of other races' individuals, but the sexual act with them hasn't given any positive results. None of our women became pregnant." She explains with a serious expression in her face.

"And why do you think I can save your race then?"

"Uhm... Basically because of the legend that those summoned from the other dimension possess the god seed... That and the fact you are a rabbit sent by the lord himself."

But what's this wacky dame saying?! A legend...? What if it's not true then? You all will have invoked me for nothing! Wait a minute... Did she just reply that I'm a rabbit? You’re really telling me…

I quickly touch my head to check it out, and yes, I have indeed two long, furry ears. The ones that I had as a human have completely disappeared, and instead, these two hairy things are now on top of my head. Lastly, I run my hands behind my back, where once again I check a rabbit trait, something similar to a pom-pom, you know... The tail.

"OH GOD, I'M A RABBIT."

"Yes. We have used the proper relics for the ceremony based on the books left by our ancestors, so it would be a big problem if you were not a rabbit."

So I was turned into a rabbit as a result of the invocation. And to think that something like this could be possible... To be honest, I don't feel much different from a human wearing rabbit accessories. Although, well, I think I should be grateful for that. I mean, I don't like characters who're one hundred percent furries, unlike Matt.

"Then... Can't you summon anyone else besides me? Am I really your last hope?"

"That's right. Not only we have spent too much mana on your invocation, but one of the relics we use to bring you has disappeared as part of the agreement. In few words, it has been an equivalent exchange. So unless we find something of equal value... I think another invocation will not be possible in a long time."

Suuure. And by any chance, the author who wrote those books is the alchemist of a certain famous franchise, right? Well, now that’s the least. If what she just said it's true, then I'm not only the last man alive in this country, but also their only hope. Taking into account they cannot have children with the other races' help... We clearly have a problem. I mean...

"Uhm, your Highness, I'm sorry to give you the bad news, but... I'm gay."

"...I beg your pardon?" Replies the Queen shocked. Her personal guards immediately look slack-jawed at each other.

"I'm gay."

Ah, yes. I can already feel how my readers disappear with that statement. To tell the truth, what I really like are «Traps» in terms of anime and manga, and even if they're not the same, «Femboys» in the 3D world. You know, boys who have feminine tendencies, dress like girls and even look like one. In short, and to sum it up, I'm gay.

"I am speechless." Says Lulu Kanin, almost as if she's about to throw a fit.

"You don't have to tell me, Your Highness. This is a great F for your kingdom."

"What?!"

"Uh, nothing. My condolences."

I'm surprised they seem to know what the word ‘gay’ means. I just hope this is not like some countries in my world or I'll be so dead soon. To have said it was perhaps a mistake, although I don't see myself wanting to explain my taste for traps and femboys... Because yes, I'm not a gay character from a Netflix series, you know? I have my reasons to be... But someday I'll tell you. That's of course if they don't kill me or imprison me to become a tool solely for the purpose of procreation. This is still a dangerous scenario for me no matter how you look at it. Come to think of it, I guess with this I just leave the closet, right? What a strange way to do it.

"What am I supposed to say to my people now?"

"Let's see... You gathered the best of the best to summon me, lost an important relic to be able to carry out future invocations and it turns out that your only hope has no interest in women. Hmm, yup. You're screwed."

"You're not really helping, you know?"

Well, I guess I'm being kind of cruel to her. It's not like it's her fault. It was what the right thing to do. Also, you can tell she's desperate to fix this problem as soon as possible. Without males, their breed will die out over the years... No, hang on.

"But, Your Highness. If all the males died due to the virus, doesn't that mean I'm exposed to death, too?"

"A few months ago, and with the collaboration of neighboring kingdoms, we finished developing a cure for this epidemic. In fact, vaccination was going to be the next step."

Oh, that's a relief. So here they also worked together to find a cure, huh. What a coincidence. No, wait a second. I heard wrong or she said...

"Was going to be...?" I ask confused.

"Was going to be." She answers, showing an evil grin on the spot.

...Oh, crap!
