I Was Transported to Another World with a Male-to-Female Ratio of 1:3000 and Made into a Breeding Pet for the Demon Lord’s Army - 107

Chapter 107: Learning Magic Is Done at the Risk of One’s Life

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

【Ken-chan, are you ready? Magic is something anyone can use as long as they have mana. Since your mana outlet is small, it might be tough at first, but don’t lose heart—let’s do our best!】

That day again, while I was lying around lazily with Gon-san in the usual glass-walled room, Run-san and the others came over. According to Fiilia-san’s telepathy, today was supposed to be magic training.

It had already been half a year since I came to this world. And finally, the time had come for magic training! The moment I had always dreamed of was here, and I couldn’t hold back my excitement.

“I understand! Please take care of me… Fiilia-sensei!”

“O-oh…”

“Fiilia-sensei?”

When I answered energetically, Fiilia-san suddenly turned bright red and began dripping nosebleeds.

“N-n-n-nothing at all! It’s not like I was grinning to myself imagining some push-down private tutor story where the student says, ‘Sensei, no… I can’t hold back♡ Please teach me this kind of lesson too♡!’ and then ends up accepting it in the end… I’m definitely not doing that… No, not at all… Absolutely not…!”

“…I don’t get it.”

“Hmm… thanks to Ken-chan learning new words one after another, the power of his conversations has become downright dangerous. Just listening makes my chest feel like it’s going to burst.”

“Even just having a smile from a male directed at you is close to a miracle. And to be addressed familiarly by name on top of that… It’s practically the very same as those convenient mating books.”

“As I thought, Ken-chan’s existence is nothing short of divine to us! Ken-chaaaan! Call my name, please~”

Pat, pat

“Luna-san… You’re getting in the way a little.”

“…! G-getting in the way…? So I really was just a nuisance to Ken-chan after all!?”

Ignoring Fiilia-san, who was staring at me with drool dribbling down her chin, I picked up a book.

As usual, Luna-san kept petting my head and getting in the way, but I brushed her off casually. She had gotten a little better at stroking me than before, and normally I would humor her, but this was the critical moment of whether I could use magic or not. I couldn’t afford distractions!

“Sniff… Come to think of it, back in the Elven Forest, they said Ken-chan’s magic density or something was too low, and it turned out you had no talent for magic. Can you still really use magic?”

“Uh, y-yes. I also checked Ken-chan’s magical aptitude, and since he has magic power, theoretically he should be able to use it. But since we don’t know the human method, it will have to be elven-style training… I’m sorry.”

“It’s times like this that I really wish Aura-sama, who knows humans well, were here. We’re not familiar with human magic practices.”

“It can’t be helped. Apparently she has some unavoidable mission.”

“Well, personally, I find her big and scary, so it’s a bit of a relief… Anyway.”

【Well then, Ken-chan. Roll the aura generated inside your body into the cup, purge it, and then abuchobet, please.】

“Wait! I don’t get it…What’s abuchobet? Tell me right now!”

While I opened the book and followed the letters I had only recently learned to read, incomprehensible words echoed inside my head. Abuchobet…

That was the same nonsense word Dalis-san had said a long time ago. So it wasn’t just something she made up—it was actually common knowledge?!

“Starting from there? Even if you say it’s incomprehensible, abuchobet is just… Abuchobet. There’s no way to explain it.”

“Fiilia-sama, please remember that when Ken-chan was discovered, he not only had no knowledge of magic, but barely understood the language either. Even a clever Ken-chan would naturally be confused. So here, let’s not rush—let’s proceed slowly.”

“You’re right. Th-then, it can’t be helped… We’ll have to use that method…”

“Hmph! Then just explain it more simply!”

As Fiilia-san was about to begin something, Luna-san gently grabbed my hand. Her eyes narrowed, her lips curled in a grin—it was a little creepy.

“Ken-chan! Gather your inner power, go GWAHHH! then when it builds up in your fingertip, let it go all at once—DOVAHH!”

“???????”

“Luna-sama… I think that explanation is even harder to follow.”

“Why!? That’s exactly how Mother taught me magic! Sadly, I couldn’t use it, but even Lammy managed to learn that way!”

“I only managed through desperately studying books to repay the favor of being taken in. That explanation was no help to me at all.”

“Grrr…S-so that’s how it is.”

“Um… Actually, there is an easier way…”

“What! If there’s such a way, then hurry up and do it!”

“Alright. But… This method is a little, um, you know, so please don’t get angry. Promise me you absolutely won’t get angry!”

“I won’t get angry, so hurry it up.”

“Th-then… Here I go!”

Gyuu!

Out of nowhere, Fiilia-san hugged me tightly from behind. She clamped down on my wrists with both hands, pressing her whole body against me as much as she could. A faint sweet fragrance drifted from her hair, making my heart and body ticklish all at once.

“Haa…♡ Haa…♡ Now, I will flow a small amount of mana into Ken-chan’s body to regulate your mana pathways..♡”

As she said that, I felt the energy of my whole body naturally being drawn toward my hands. It was like when an IV drip goes in, and you feel a subtle shift inside your bloodstream—a strange, faintly chilling sensation.

【Ken-chan. Focus your strength into your hand and shout “Water.” Imagine concentrating all your blood into a single point.】

“Got it… 【Water】!”

Drip… drip…

“Water! Water came out! I did it!”

Watching water drip from my fingertip, a smile broke out unconsciously. Joy and excitement welled up from deep inside me at producing magic for the first time.

“Fiilia-san… Look!”

“Uuuuuhhh♡♡♡”

“Fiilia-san?”

Looking up while still being hugged, I saw Fiilia-san’s face in a dazed, blissful expression. Her mouth was smiling widely. Was she really that happy I had managed to use magic?

BANG BANG! BANG BANG! BANG BANG!!!

＜Hey! Please step away from the glass, you’re scaring Ken-chan!＞

“Oho…They’re pounding on the glass with some serious force.”

“I understand wanting to complain about her hugging him, but that’s a bit excessive… Could something have happened?”

“Ehehe♡… Actually, this process of synchronizing mana through the body♡… It’s something high-mana species often do before mating♡ It’s supposed to make their hearts and bodies more in sync, and feel even better♡ So I think… That’s why they’re so mad♡”

“So what, you basically just performed public mating in front of everyone?”

“Yes! I was extremely excited! Being so close with Ken-chan, feeling his water spurt out through my mana… Ah, this is bad♡ I might let out some water of my own…♡”

“Uh-oh…”

Held tight as if I were a stuffed toy, I felt my back grow damp. Fiilia-san was a graceful and lovely beauty, gentle enough to teach me with care. Having her this physically close made my heart pound.

Well, I had Aura-san and Gon-san, so I wouldn’t get the wrong idea about relationships… Wait, hold on. Aura-san I had actually been with, sure, but why was Gon-san being counted as a lover too? Sure, Gon-san was cute enough to bury my face in, but I didn’t feel that way about her… Besides, she was a fox.

“Ooohh♡ Ken-chan♡ Let’s just… Let’s just mate right now! Since you accepted my mana, that means it’s fine if I attack you, right? Right!!?”

“Alright… Let’s just toss her into the audience.”

“Understood. As long as it’s only compound fractures, my healing magic can handle it, so I’ll make the announcement beforehand.”

Grab!

“Eh? Both of your faces look scary…You promised you wouldn’t get mad, didn’t you?”

Snap!

From that day on, 【Holy Water Born from Ken-chan’s Body♡】 was produced, and as soon as it went on sale, it sold out instantly. In particular, when it reached ocean-dwelling races or deep-forest plant tribes, it was said to fetch a value greater than gold ingots.

【Manifestation of Magic】

When boys and girls of the world hear that they can use magic, they probably dreamily set off for another world. However, for us humans, who didn’t know the first thing about magic, to handle it, we first had to receive guidance from the residents of the other world and experience the sensation of activating magic for the first time.

At that time, it was necessary to ask for help from races accustomed to magic handling—especially elves—and the safest, most reliable way was to use the Demon Lord’s Army certified establishments. By all means, never ask random people on the roadside, nor use uncertified shops just because they’re cheap. Doing so will lead to serious trouble.

(Also, please note: all damages caused while using magic are your own responsibility. Even in cases where you request help from a Demon Lord’s Army certified establishment, there have been several past reports of marriages being automatically established without consent. Please be aware that we accept no consultation about such troubles whatsoever.)
