Your Prompt is: The world has been saved, the demon lord slain. But at what cost? The climatic final battle destroyed several cities and killed thousands. Now the hero is being charged with war crimes and must defend themselves in court.

“Order! Order in the court!” The judge’s mallet struck the gavel thrice, bringing an end to the quiet
murmurings.

It’s a common misconception, but the hammer thing is just a mallet, the gavel is what you pound. Heh,
pound.

Decimus chuckled at his own thought joke, earning a harsh stare from the Judge and Bailiff.

“Decimus, do you even comprehend the gravity of the situation you are in? This is no laughing matter.”

“Heh, I’d like to get ‘in’ your pants, if you know what I’m saying.”

His lawyer rolled her eyes, the action caused her long elf ears to bob up and down, a phenomenon that
Decimus found most adorable.

“Relax, I beat the Demon Lord, a few people got caught in the crossfire, but if we hadn’t fought
everyone would have died. I’ll be acquitted.”

“That’s…” Whatever his attorney was about to say got cut off as the judge once again banged his gavel.

“Bailiff, read the charges.”

Rising from his seat and stretching to his full one and a quarter meters, the dwarven Bailiff began by
clearing his throat.

“We the people of Leativia do hereby decry the actions of the summoned hero, Decimus Robinson.
However, in light of our investigation and discovery of a mana-burst bomb in the Demon Lord’s
possession, we have opted to drop these charges.”

Decimus turned to his representative and smirked, “See? They’re letting me off, now you want to grab a
coffee?”

The attorney fixed him with a cold stare, “I tried to warn you.”
“However, several individuals have come forward to express their own complaints, independent of the prior charges.”

The first accuser stood from where she was sitting in the audience and fixed Decimus with a stern and
condemning sneer.

I always told her that the dommy mommy look didn’t work for gnomes, she should act more innocent
and scatterbrained.

“Natashia Fizzlesprocket, a former member of the hero party, accuses the Hero Decimus of sexual
misconduct.”

The second accuser stood up, next to Natashia. Another face that Decimus recognized.

Ah, the erof. I still remember that one. Pleasant memories of many moonlit nights came back to him and
caused certain things to stir.

“Benethe Greenfern, is accusing Decimus of abandoning her with child; a serious charge among the
elves.”

Decimus cut in, “Wait, but I’ve been sending you child support!”

BANG! BANG!

“Order! Order in the court! The accused will be given his chance to speak after the charges have been
read.”

Decimus fell back into his seat, a moderately confused look on his face.

The third witness stood, yet another woman Decimus recognized.

“Purrsina Nyahko, accuses the Hero Decimus of Sexual Misconduct.”

Unable to contain himself, Decimus again leapt to his feet, “Sexual Misconduct!? You practically jumped
me!”

Purrsina turned very red even as her ears flattened out and her tail stood up straight, “I Meowas in my
Nyaheat… You took Nyahdvantage of Meow!”

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

“Decimus, one more outburst like that, and I will hold you in contempt of court.”

“…My apologies, your honor.”

“Thank you, Bailiff, continue.”

“As you wish. The final accuser is none other than Persephone Levitan, daughter of the late Demon Lord.
As she is in protective custody, she could not attend today’s hearing. She accuses the Hero Decimus of
using his position to exploit her for sexual favors.”

“BANG! BANG!”

“Hero Decimus, these are your charges; two counts of sexual misconduct, one count of walking out on
an elven child, and one count of sexual exploitation. How do you plead?”

Decimus paused, leaning over to his attorney he whispered, “Why am I just learning of these charges
now? Shouldn’t you have told me about them earlier?”

She smiled sweetly at him, “When would I have done that? Before, or after you ‘got in my pants’? You
should be lucky my name is not on the list of accusers.”

This bitch!

Decimus wanted to rant about how unfair this was, after all, he was the hero. Getting a harem was all
part of being isekai’d. How dare they accuse him of crimes for simply pursuing every man’s dream!?

Standing, he moved to address the court, “I plead not guilty; I do not consider my actions to be illegal in
any way! Seeking a harem is all part of the isekai process, these girls should feel lucky that I picked
them!”

The courtroom fell into silence and all present simply stared at Decimus, mouths hanging open. After
some moments, the Judge tentatively asked, “So, you plead guilty?”

Decimus closed his eyes. When he opened them, there was a fire burning there. A fire of conviction, “If
pursuing my dreams means I have committed a crime, then the law is wrong! Every man desires a
harem, and every man should have the right to pursue one!”

All around the room, people simply stared at Decimus in disbelief. All at once, the crowd began
chattering and speaking their opinions.

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

“Order! Order in the court! Decimus, in light of your plea, this court finds you guilty on all charges. We
will have your sentencing this afternoon… Court Adjourned!”

Decimus rose to his feet and pointed his finger at the judge, “OBJECTION!”

The judge glared down at him, “Overruled, furthermore I find you in contempt of court! Bailiff, take him
back to his cell!”

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

The Bailiff moved to take Decimus out of the room, as all around him people jeered. Some were jeering
at him, for having such an awful personality. Some were jeering at the judge, for they supported
Decimus. Others jeered at their fellows, mocking them for getting so invested.

Decimus, was silent.

I do not regret my actions. Not one bit.
He was locked back into a cell, to await his sentencing the next day. Plopping onto the rickety wooden
bed, he began to hum to himself.

As he did so, the lights around him dimmed, then the candles went out. This caused Decimus to smile;
he knew what was happening. It had happened before, many times.

Another other world summoning event! Let’s see what the goddess needs now, and hopefully this time I
can build a harem!

In a flash of light, Decimus vanished, off to plunder another world’s booties.
