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 - 112

Chapter 112: The Final Exam… A Fistfight!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Awakening from the shock of having washed a holy relic, I was immediately led to a mysterious large hall. There, I saw dozens of participants—mostly beastkin—and standing at the front were Luna-sama and Lammy-sama.

“Everyone’s here. Then, let the final exam begin.”

So that is Luna-sama… This is my first time seeing her in person, and her presence is overwhelming indeed.

Wrapped in tense air, I felt my own heart pounding furiously in my chest.

“I ask you all… Do you love Ken-chan?!”

“Y-yes! I love him so much!”

“I’ve already been pregnant with him ten times!”

“It’s a sports festival every day and night!”

At Luna-sama’s question, several participants hastily raised their voices. As expected, everyone was here for Ken-chan.

“I see. I understand your feelings well… All of you are disqualified!”

Smack!

“Owwww! W-what are you doing?!”

Lammy-sama’s hand smacked against Luna-sama’s head with a sharp bash! She flinched at the impact, looking up at her resentfully.

“Please, stop wasting hours of effort out of nowhere.”

“But they were making faces like females in heat! No matter how you look at it, they’re insolent ones who came to the interview only to aim for Ken-chan!”

“That may be true. But if you say that, then the employees of my castle are already working there for Ken-chan’s sake. As long as a miraculous male like Ken-chan is nearby, what truly matters is the self-control to resist making a move.”

“Grrr… Even so, I hate it! Demon Lord-sama has already gotten ahead of me, and I can’t stand the thought of more people harboring wicked intentions toward Ken-chan…!”

The dignity she had earlier was nowhere to be seen. Luna-sama was now throwing a tantrum on the floor like a brat. Thinking of working under this person made me uneasy, but if Ken-chan was there, it was still a plus. I had to endure.

“Hmph… Fine. I’ll just knock out the ones I don’t like in the final exam.”

Wait, knock out?

“Now then, from here on, you will all fight Luna-sama.”

“…Huh?”

“The condition for completion is the retrieval of the Ken-chan doll. Secure it without damaging it… Now then…”

As she explained, Luna-sama hugged the Ken-chan doll tightly and began limbering her arms and shoulders like warm-up stretches.

“W-wait a minute! Luna-sama is the strongest brawler in the entire demon realm! We can’t possibly win in an indoor battlefield against her!”

I couldn’t help but complain about the absurd trial that had suddenly begun. This was practically announcing that everyone would fail. What had all our accumulated hardships been for…?

“It doesn’t have to be one-on-one. You can all attack her at once.”

“Even so, it’s still impossible!”

“That’s true. But don’t worry. The fact that you’re here means your self-control and domestic abilities have already been evaluated. As long as you can move somewhat, there’s no problem—so please, feel free to get beaten up.”

“I’ll knock out every last one of you!”

“Eh, wai—guhah!”

At her shout, a sharp straight punch drove into the stomach of the participant in the front row.

She slammed into the wall as if embedded there and immediately lost consciousness.

I-I was glad I arrived late… Thanks to that, I was the farthest back.

“H-hmph! No matter how strong you are, take this!”

【Blizzard Cage!】

【Bind!】

Perhaps that single blow ignited their fighting spirit, and the participants began shouting their incantations one after another. Freezing and binding spells of long-range magic flew at Luna-sama, and the atmosphere of the battlefield tightened instantly.

Clang!

“Heh! I’ll have you know I’m a genius at magic!”

Chains of golden light appeared around Luna-sama, who was bound in ice, and wrapped around her tightly in a spiral. As expected of those who remained until the final exam, they were truly skilled. They were on a completely different level from someone like me, who was only working as a receptionist at the library. 

Crack!

“Pathetic! Compared to Lammy’s magic, this is nothing at all!”

“Whaaa-?! We’ve bound you in multiple layers! You’re insane!”

“Silence!”

“Gwah!”

But she ripped apart the chains with sheer arm strength, paying no heed to the restraints. Then she closed the distance at once, throwing everyone back into another one-sided brawl. This was hopeless. There was no chance of victory anywhere.

“Hmm… I see. You can handle magic to some extent, but your mastery is still low. Still, your reaction speed isn’t bad.”

I glanced at Lammy-sama, wondering when she would stop it. But she only scribbled notes without showing any sign of intervening.

“Hahaha! Fighting to protect Ken-chan is such fun!”

“Guehh!”

One after another, participants collapsed to the ground, not moving an inch. Being instantly taken out like this, there was no way to evaluate their skills—she was absolutely just venting her frustration, wasn’t she?

“Tch! If it’s come to this, I’ll go all out! 【Wind】!”

At the very least, I tried to leave some trace behind, but the power was so weak it didn’t even catch her attention, let alone topple her.

What should I do…

Poke poke.

“You there, the cat beastkin. Will you lend me a hand?”

“Eh, ah, me…?”

As I scrambled for ideas in my head, someone nearby spoke to me. She was a beastkin of slightly smaller build than average, hardly reassuring against Luna-sama.

“I’ll throw a smoke bomb. Aim at that smoke and use your wind magic. Focus on making it swirl like a tornado.”

“I can do that, but… What are you planning?”

“I’ll charge straight in…”

Click!

The small girl hurled a ball that spewed smoke, then crouched low in a swift stance.

“Cough! Cough! What is this smoke?!”

The slightly clouded smoke wasn’t ordinary. Luna-sama’s eyes reddened as she started coughing.

“Grrr… That way, is it?! I’ll kill you!”

But as expected of someone called one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she regained her posture in an instant and locked eyes on us, about to charge.

 This is bad!

“Now, hurry! Before that wolf beastkin reaches us!”

“Y-yes! 【Wind】!”

Following her instructions, I carefully wrapped the smoke around Luna-sama in a swirling current, keeping it from dispersing. It was tricky to control, but this method made even a beginner’s spell workable.

“Thank you.”

Whoosh…

“Aerial… and High Wind!”

Crash!

With the sound of air being torn apart, a single streak of light pierced into the smoke. Its overwhelming force and sharpness made it clear this was no ordinary strike.

“Mm… Everyone, good work. With this, the final exam is complete.”

When I looked again, she was holding the Ken-chan doll tightly at her waist. But… Was it just my imagination, or did her cat ears slip out of place for an instant in the white smoke?
