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 - 108

Chapter 108: Joint Human–Demon Meeting…Countless Fatalities

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“The soundproofing magic is finished… Good. Then, from this point, we will begin the joint meeting between human-demon  regarding the Orai Pact.”

The human princess and the Demon Lord—two people who normally would never meet face to face—sat opposite each other in an outdoor tent. If the populace saw a scene like this, it would erupt into an enormous fuss in an instant. Therefore, I was the only one who knew we were here. I had come under the pretext of going to Ken-chan Zoo.

“Ugh… Ken-chan Zoo”

Truthfully—I had desperately wanted to go! I wanted to ditch this boring meeting and join that recently popular “Exciting Magical Teacher Experience Class”! Apparently, you could play at being a tutor to Ken-chan… If only this accord could be undone, wouldn’t the meeting simply disappear?

“Th-that is… The Demon Lord famed as the strongest in history… She’s so big.”

“Do not worry. As long as the accord is in place, she will not attack out of the blue.”

“B-but… Scary things are still scary, you know.”

On the human side, there were ten people in strict attire and one woman peering at us over her glasses while clutching a thick stack of documents.

Tremble… tremble…

Among them was one fellow whose shoulders shook as if they were about to burst into tears—a rather comical sight. But at the same time, thinking that such pitiful people monopolized the males—my blood boiled and I could not settle down.

“Then, first, as promised, we will proceed with the debt repayment. As you know, if the amount is insufficient, as a penalty there will be no male support for a while.”

“Understood… Here, take it.”

Without bothering to hide my irritation, I tossed a bundle of gold coins.

“…I have received them. I will verify the number later.”

The princess gave the bundle a quick check and passed it to an official standing nearby. Tch… the precious money Ken-chan had earned was being wasted on such nonsense. Originally, I had wanted to build and present to him a grand castle worthy of that child… should I simply annihilate them?

“Next, we will investigate violations of the accord that occurred over the past three years. Alicia, please read them aloud.”

“Y-yes… Over the past three years, the Demon Army seized and destroyed eight villages within non-aggression zones. We confirmed fifty-six instances of unplanned invasions. Additionally, the number of deaths among those not scheduled for culling was approximately four thousand…”

This was an important conference that would determine the future of the demon world’s existence, but having endured night after night of meetings, I could not bring myself to be emotionally invested.

Why couldn’t this meeting end sooner… Ken-chaaaan! I wanted him to kiss and cuddle me like last time—chu-chu ♡ pet me…!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

“That concludes all decisions. We will prepare the formal documents later, so please receive them before returning home.”

“Good work, Alicia. You may stand down.”

“Y-yes!”

The long discussion to determine future reparations and the boundaries of non-aggression territories had finally ended. It had taken a few hours. On our side was the male—the stud crucial for progeny—and on the other side a serious war with demons we could not win… 

Because both parties held fatal weaknesses that would doom them if they made one wrong move, debates tended to stall. It was a hassle.

I wanted to entrust human-related matters to someone competent, but if I appointed them and they immediately betrayed us with “What? So humans are easy to defeat!? Charge the whole army!” then it would be over—so it required thought.

I had once mentioned Aura because we had a long relationship and I thought she had been captivated by Ken-chan and would not turn her attention to other males. Also, at that time I had been so busy my mouth had slipped out more than it should have.

So if I were to entrust this task, I wanted someone like Aura who adored Ken-chan… After all, Luna, who fit the conditions, was foolish and couldn’t be relied upon. Her subordinate Lammy was said to be competent, but having only fought her at the castle, her background was still insufficiently known.

For now, it was only sensible to not delegate this role to anyone else yet.

“In any case, that wraps up all agenda items. I will rest in the tent next door; call me once the documents are prepared.”

“Wait… An important matter remains.”

“An important matter?”

“Yes, the boy kidnapped by the Demon Army. The deliberation regarding Ken-chan remains.”

“………”

So it had come. Well, with that many goods circulating, it was natural the human tribe would learn of it. Seeing the attitudes of the others suddenly harden around me, this clearly was the main issue.

But I had anticipated questions about Ken-chan the moment I declared we would protect him. There were no oversights.

“Right. So? Is there some problem with the male our Demon Army protected?”

“Protected… No matter. Our demand is clear. Ban all products related to Ken-chan and hand over the male!”

“We refuse. We merely carefully protected a male who had gotten lost in the forest. As his identity is unknown, there is no reason to return him… Or do you have proof that Ken-chan is your country’s person?”

From Lammy’s detailed report, we already understood Ken-chan’s origins were completely unknown. Without a clear owner, there was no reason to forcibly hand him over.

“Proof? That’s unnecessary. Ken-chan is a human male. That alone is sufficient reason for his return.”

“That will not do. There’s a real possibility some prominent demon bought Ken-chan and he escaped.”

“Such a ridiculous claim cannot stand! In the first place, parents who bore males were paid abundantly, and the nation took custody of such males. Hiding a born male incurred punishment. Who would hand their child over to you demons for money!?”

“But… Do you have proof that such parents do not exist?”

“That is…”

Proving existence was easy—you simply presented that person before them. But proving nonexistence was nearly impossible. Even if theoretically possible, in practice it was unrealistic.

Of course, such a clumsy counterargument would likely be dismissed or ignored. So without hesitation I played my next card.

Click!

“Moreover, it seems Ken-chan wants to live with us demons.”

“…What did you say?”

Expecting this reaction, I had set up a camera on the table.

【Humans~~~ are you watching?】

“Wha-… So that is Ken-chan. How beautiful.”

Though a bit hard to see, Ken-chan’s image projected onto the wall. It was the footage I had ordered taken in the Elf village before.

【I… like demons! They saved me…】

【Unlike humans… They treat me gently… 】

【When mating.. Demons…Their bodies…Are really big and strong】

【Humans… Their bodies… are so scrawny..Tthey can’t satisfy me.】

【I’m happy every day… I don’t need rescuing… I’ll live in the Demon World】

【I’m here of my own will】

【Bye-bye!】

“””…………………………”””

Everyone present fell silent. Some collapsed to the floor, hugging their knees, unable to stifle their sobs and vomiting. Some slumped against the wall, covering their faces as they broke down crying. Some covered their ears and clutched their chests, tears welling yet barely maintaining composure.

Perhaps I had gone a little far, but it was proceeding according to plan.

“If you understand, then you will never—”

“Uggghhh!! Why, why to demons!? This is wrong… wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The princess repeatedly slammed her head on the desk, eyes wide and unseeing. Even after the footage stopped, her frantic motions did not abate.

“That’s it… It’s brainwashing! Such an innocent, angelic smile couldn’t be turned toward demons! Nothing else explains it… Ugh, my brain… My thoughts… Are breaking… My head is going to explode!!!”

“Eris-sama! Pull yourself together! Eris-sama!!!”

“Uggghhhhh!!!”

Bang! Bang…! Crack!

What was supposed to be peaceful discussion turned the tent into a catastrophe of screams and sobs, desks and documents strewn about.
