the end of mankind

(Arthur POV)

This was undoubtedly the part of the show with the greatest share of unknown and therefore the one that terrified the most Arthur. The Transformations.

"Like any self-respecting Harem Hotel season, we're going to start ours with transformations. I'd like to make it clear in advance that this will be the end of humanity," says Nola.

"What do you mean the end of humanity? I thought the whole point of the show was to save humanity!" exclaimed Tammy

"But no, the aim of this show is to provide entertainment for the audience. The producers and the gods of your world have agreed that humanity has had its day and that it's time to replace it," declared Nola.

"Gods creates dinosaurs, Gods destroys dinosaurs. Gods creates Man, Man destroys Gods, Man destroys Man, Gods creates dinosaurs," says Jeanne sarcastically, parodying Jurassic Park.

"I don't want to be a dinosaur," said Iris, who seemed terrified of becoming one.

"There are no dinosaurs in an Isekai. No, I bet we're going to become sexy Elves or maybe endearing Cat Girls," says Violet, still as enthusiastic as ever.

"I don't wish to have a tail. No thanks," said Felicity.

"Elves don't have tails," remarked Violet.

"Thank you all, but in any case, as always, the audience will have the last word. It has been decided that each of you will receive a transformation to change your species. Let's take a practical example. Jeanne, here are your two paths," says Nola, before a screen worthy of a video game appears in front of Jeanne.

Make way for the Neko: It was decided that participants couldn't remain human. So here is the first proposal to replace a part of humanity, the Neko. A people somewhere between man and cat, by becoming a Neko Jeanne will, for the time being, receive only a cat tail, and her ears will be replaced by cat ears placed on the tops of her head.

Fairy magic: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the fairies. These people are not all female, although the male population is small and androgynous in appearance. Fairies aren't 20 centimetres tall either, their average height is 1.60 m. Fairies do, however, have a pair of wings on their backs that allow them to fly at low altitude (i.e. fairies can fly at a few tens of metres, but not at high altitudes hundreds of meters). For the moment, this transformation simply gives us a pair of wings. functional to Jeanne.

So, Arthur didn't know why, but he'd expected much worse when she mentioned transformation. Here it was just minor physical changes.

"So, on the one hand they want to make fun of me because I'm in the navy and cats don't like water. And on the other, they want to make fun of my pragmatism by turning me into a Winx," says Jeanne, not hiding her annoyance.

"Don't take it that way, I didn't choose her options for those reasons. I just looked at your whole life and saw how much you loved your cat and dreamed of being a fairy." replied Nola

"I was 6 and yes, I loved my parents' cat, but he's been dead for over 20 years," Jeanne declared in exasperation.

"I thought it was Arthur who chose Jeanne. How do you know that? on her life when she wasn't supposed to?" asked Elizabeth.

"It's very simple: as soon as I'd finished choosing the participants, I spent days studying your profiles and your lives. After that, I have to admit that it was pretty easy for Jeanne, since she was already part of the harem in any case," says Nola.

"Great," replied the woman ironically.

"Glad you're taking it so well, so we'll continue with Elizabeth's options. Here they are," says Nola, before changing the text on the screen.

The elegance of elves: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the elves. Elves bear a striking resemblance to human beings. The physical differences between them are minimal. The main characteristic of elves is their large, pointed ears, so this is where Elizabeth's transformation begins.

The lightness of harpies: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the harpies. This option is far more upsetting than the previous one. First of all, the feet are replaced (3 fingers in front and 1 behind). Then the arms are replaced by two pairs of wings for flight, and the hands are replaced by talons.

"So, what do you think Elizabeth? Do you have a preference?" questioned Nola.

"The answer to this question is so obvious that I won't bother answering it. I just want to ask the audience a question. Do you really think sex is possible with a harpy?" replied Elizabeth, answering Nola's question matter-of-factly.

"I guess I'll have to settle for that. Let's move on to my favorite contestant so far, Violet. Violet, you loved my outfit, so here are your suggestions," says Nola, displaying Violet's options.

Green and happy as a Leprechaun: It was decided that participants couldn't remain human. So here was the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the Leprechauns. Violet liked Nola's appearance so much that Nola decided to give her the same appearance. As a result, Violet will lose 10 centimetres and grow to 1.60 meters high. Then the other major change is that all the clothes she wears must always be at least 90% shade of green

Saving the middle earth: It was decided that participants could not remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace a part of humanity, the hobbits. Gandalf didn't come looking for you, but that's probably because you're not a hobbit, so let's fix that. First of all, Violet is going to lose a lot of height, going from 1.70m to 1.20m. Hobbit ears are no bigger than human ears, but they are pointed.

"Ahhhh! No, it's too hard. What should I choose? Leprechaun or hobbits? Why does life **** me to make such cruel choices? Both are great. Tolkien or Irish folklore? Golden Cauldron or second breakfast?" questioned Violet, who at least seemed to enjoy the proposals.

"And that's why you're my favorite candidate. You know how to ask the right questions. Now let's move on to the mom of this show, our beloved teacher, Lily. Here are your options," Nola declared, displaying the options.

Endearling like a Slime: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the Slimes. Slimes are gelatinous beings with a basic spherical shape. Slimes have no gender and can be classified as either male or female. Slimes can change shape and viscosity at will. However, they tend to take on shapes close to those around them.

Maternal as a Cowgirl: It was decided that participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the cowgirls. Cowgirls have very different physical characteristics, depending on their gender. The men, called Minotaurs, have great physical strength and average 2.20 m in height. However, their intelligence is lower than that of female cowgirls. Both sexes have horns on their heads, although the males are more developed. The main characteristic of a Cowgirl is the size of her breasts (at least a G cup), which suckle from the onset of puberty.

Arthur couldn't say he didn't understand the choice of his proposals, but frankly, they were much more **** than the previous ones.

"Minimum G cup?" exclaimed Lily, looking down at her own E-cup breasts, which she found to be... already very big

"Oh yes, the audience is a bit biased on the Oppai side, but let's continue. There are 12 candidates and we've only shown the first 4. Let's not waste time. Sophia, you're next," says Nola, displaying the options for Sophia.

Celestial as an angel: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the angels. Here, angels are not in the service of a god, but a species in their own right . They have a pair of wings on their backs, enabling them to fly. Apart from that, angels also have immaculate skin and an aversion to chaos or disorder.

Dragon's wrath: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here comes the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the dragonnoids. Halfway between dragon and human come the dragonnoids. Average height 2m. Aggressive tendency. Tsundere guaranteed. Horns on the head. Wings with scales on the back. And a scaly tail on her back. Here's a good summary of a dragonnoid, or more precisely in Sophia's case, a dragongirl.

"Ok so my annoyance with Arthur or my taste for order and justice. Predictable," declared Sophia without further comment.

"Just because it's predictable doesn't mean it's not good and relevant. But let's continue with Victoria. Here are the choices," replied the Leprechaun, not slowing her pace.

At the height of a giant: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the first proposal to replace a part of humanity, the giants. The giants in this case are between 2.8 m and 3.5 m tall. They have great physical strength but are rather slow to react. They also have a deep affection for physical contact.

Serving as a Kobold: It was decided that participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the Kobolds. Kobolds are docile and friendly. They like to obey orders, but only from those they consider their masters. In appearance, they're halfway between dog and man. They have Dog ears and tail.

"How high could I jump if I was 3.5 metres tall?" asked Victoria. who still didn't seem to be out of her decathlon.

"Much higher than before, that's for sure. And now we move on to the second half with Kelly," says Nola, displaying the options.

Demon freedom: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the demons. Demons have skin colors ranging from scarlet to light blue. They have horns and a spiked tail. Mentally, they have a pronounced taste for all kinds of forms of pleasure and debauchery. The notion of the forbidden tends to excite him more than anything else.

The pride of the Oni: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the Oni. The Oni are tall humanoid beings (1.90 m on average). They have a pronounced taste f o r **** and ****. They have two pointed horns at the front of their heads. Their skin color is either light green, light blue or light red. They love competition and rarely refuse a challenge.

"Okay, considering what the others were offered, I expected worse," declared Kelly. "I'm not cruel. I'm just suggesting what I think would work best. I remind you that whatever happens, you're not going to stay human, so you have to be creative. Susan, I know you're not going to answer, but here are your options," Nola declared. Susan was indeed still and silent. Only her eyes moved, and you could clearly see the stress in them.

The dwarf forge: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the dwarves. Dwarves are a small people, no taller than 1.35 meters. Taciturn and grumpy, they are also loyal and diligent. They are also known for their ability to forge complex, durable objects.

Vampire nobility: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So, here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the vampires. Let's be perfectly clear: the sun doesn't reduce vampires to ashes. However, it is true that they are more tired during the day than at night. They feed on the blood of any living creature such as mosquitoes. Drinking blood g i ves the vampire and his victim immense pleasure. They only consume about ½ liter a day. They're always polite

"And we'll continue with the 4 candidates I've chosen. Let's start with our favorite nurse who would like to care for the whole world, Lisa," says Nola.

A passion for nature: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, the dryads. Dryads are a people halfway between plants and men. Female people only. They are characterized by the presence of creepers, leaves and flowers in their hair. They should avoid standing still on the ground for too long, as they quickly develop roots. They have a great love of plants and are the type to become passionate about a particular subject.

Resolved as dark elves : It was decided that the participants could not remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the dark elves. Dark elves share many of the characteristics of elves. They differ in their darker skin and more Manichean outlook. They are also much more determined in the pursuit of their goals. It's hard to change their minds.

https://strawpoll.com/Q0Zp77o3DgM

Lisa didn't reply, much to Nola's regret. The nurse seemed to be lost in thought which, given the circumstances, was understandable.

"We were continuing with Felicity's options. The group's cheerleader," says Nola.

Brave as an Amazon: It was decided that participants could not remain human. So, here's the first proposal to replace a part of humanity, the Amazons. For a young woman who doesn't hesitate to throw herself into the flames to save people, what could be better than to become an Amazon? This female people resemble human beings, but there are significant differences. I'm not talking about their tattoos or their taste for combat. No, the major difference is warrior honor. An Amazon must defend her honour and that of her spouse.

Impartial as a golem: It was decided that participants could not remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the golems. The only immortals of the options. They have no conventional reproductive capacity. Composed of earth or metals, golems are similar to AIs. Logical and rational, they can feel emotions, but their empathy is undoubtedly weaker than that of other races. Like machines, they are programmable and adaptable. Different parts of their bodies and minds are replaceable. They therefore tend to choose a trusted person as their Master.

"I must admit I was expecting something more related to my job as a firefighter," commented Felicity.

"I had other options, but this one seemed more appropriate. Let's move on to the youngest of the group. Tammy," said Nola.

Cunning as a Kitsune: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here was the first proposal to replace a part of humanity, the kitsunes. The fox people are masters in the art of seduction, so it was logical to include them in Harem Hôtel. The fox people are adept at deception and lies. They have great difficulty with simplicity and clarity, which bores them. They have between 1 and 9 fox tails and fox ears, otherwise they are physically similar to humans.

Grant wishes: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace a part of humanity, the djinns. Spirit beings associated with a container, usually a lamp. They turn into gas and go inside to sleep, or when their Master demands it, or if they don't have a Master. Their Master is always the last person to have touched their lamp.

https://strawpoll.com/BDyNzzwv8yR

This is the species with the greatest affinity for magic. "Could I do magic?" asked Tammy.

"Yes, of course. Whether you'll be any good at it is another story altogether. Let's finish finally with Iris. Here are your options," Nola declared one last time.

Gentle as a lamb: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the first proposal to replace part of humanity, sheepgirls. A cross between sheep and human, sheepgirls are gentle and pleasant. A sheepgirl is happy at least 90% of the time. A type of beastman covered in a fluffy coat, having the characteristics of a sheep. Sheepgirls are not an exclusively female breed, but males are rare. Sheepgirls have ram-like horns on their heads.

Happy as a Bunny: It was decided that the participants couldn't remain human. So here's the second proposal to replace part of humanity, the bunnygirls. Bunnygirls are not exclusively female, although their name can be misleading. This race is characterized by bunny ears and tails on a humanoid body. Bunnygirls are naturally playful and friendly. They enjoy being in groups and are quite shy.

"And we're done at last. It is now time for the audience to vote," Nola announced solemnly.
