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 - 125

Chapter 125: Life-or-Death♡Coup♡

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Both of you~ The preparations for departure are complete~”

“Ah, finally…”

It was the seventh day of our confinement. The day had finally come when we would be transported to the human nation. I had tried digging a hole with a spoon, like in a prison escape movie, and even attempted to break the lock on the door, but all of it ended up being futile.

Apparently, outside this building, there was an absurd number of monsters swarming around. Even if we escaped, we would be killed instantly. In other words, it was harder to break out of here than from a normal prison.

At this point, my only hope was Hinami-san, but she showed no sign of wanting to help us escape. Today again, she simply walked us down the hallway as usual. The only difference was—she was heavily armed. Probably because we were going to travel through areas infested with monsters.

“Our destination is right here~”

Before long, we arrived at our destination. The room looked sturdier than the ones we usually entered.

“Both of you. No matter what happens inside, do not separate from each other. Especially you, Kushina-sama.”

“What do you mean—”

Before I could ask, the doors leading to the great hall opened.

“That’s Ken-chan……♡”

“Woohoo♡ I’m so glad I joined the mercenary corps♡”

Inside, rows upon rows of demons were waiting for us. Their heated breaths filled the air, and their sticky, lustful gazes clung to us, giving off a suffocating pressure that felt like there was no escape for us.

“Ken-chan-sama! Kushina-sama! Thank you so much for waiting!”

Pigu-san, who had been sitting on a chair, suddenly leapt up—and just like when we first met, dove straight into a jumping dogeza. Sliding across the floor, she came to a stop directly before us.

“Ohoo!~♡ We’ve secured a mercenary corps for transport! We can depart anytime!”

“Then hurry up and get us into the carriage.”

“Fuhii♡ At once, sir♡”

Still in her dogeza posture, Pigu-san rubbed her cheek against my leg as she spoke. Over the past week, I had decided it would be too troublesome to anger her, so I didn’t interfere with her “affection.” As a result, she had become completely emboldened and now touched me freely without even asking for my permission first.

“Ahhh♡ The scent of a male… I can’t get enough of it♡”

Well, it wasn’t like I was losing anything, so whatever.

“Um… Pigu-san. Could you grant me one request?”

“Yes! If it’s a wish from you, Male-sama, I’ll do anything!”

She looked up, eyes sparkling like an innocent child.

“Then, could you let me return to Luna-san?”

“That’s impossible.”

She refused—flatly, and with surprising firmness. Despite drooling uncontrollably, her expression was perfectly composed as she declared it.

“Ken-chan, you’ve been brainwashed. My purpose is to protect the dignity of males. There’s no way you could ever be happy living among demons.”

“You can’t possibly know that.”

“I do. Because… In the end, I was just another fool who could only hurt the males I cared for.”

She lowered her gaze, her expression tightening in pain.

“Pigu-san…”

She must have gone through something in the past. Like Kushina-san, like Pigu-san—everyone here had their own reasons. No one was really wrong, and yet nothing seemed to connect properly. It was frustrating.

Maybe I should just strip half-naked right here and shout, “I love demon girls and sexy stuff! I’m totally fine, so please let me go home! I’m all about lewd fun~!” Maybe that would confuse them enough to let me go.

“Hey! Enough chatter! Hurry it up!”

Just as I was reaching for my clothes, Kushina-san yelled out. He was putting on a brave face, but he was drenched in sweat. Being surrounded by this many demons must’ve been unbearable for him. His complexion looked awful.

Kijimu-san, who had been watching anxiously, extended a tentacle to help, but Kushina gently pushed it away. I decided against saying anything else. Delaying things any further would only make him suffer more.

“Being stuck in a place this reeking of demons makes my nose rot! Get moving already!”

Fwoosh!

The demons who heard that didn’t explode in anger—but rather exuded a heavy, oppressive aura, dark and damp. Something was definitely off. Wait—weren’t these the “mercenaries” that were supposed to escort us? Why were they lighter-armed than Hinami-san? If we were leaving soon, they should’ve been ready to go…

A cold chill ran through my chest.

“Kushina-sama is right. Arguing is pointless. Now then, the carriages are over there—”

“Boss! Before we load them in, may I have a word?”

Just as Pigu-san rose from beside my feet, one of the female officers blocked her path.

“What is it? We can’t keep Male-sama waiting any longer. Make it quick.”

“Understood. Boss, are you truly planning to return the males just like this?”

“…What are you implying?”

Pigu-san frowned, her expression shifting to one of contempt.

“Human males are a divine miracle of life. Just one could lead the Demon Realm to prosperity. You have two in your grasp and you intend to return them without any compensation? That’s unacceptable.”

Smack!

A powerful slap echoed—unrestrained, merciless.

“What nonsense… You’re fired, immediately!”

“I see…”

The woman who’d been slapped said nothing. She merely stepped closer.

“That’s a shame.”

Stab!

Pigu-san suddenly fell forward, and the air turned razor-sharp.

“Wha-… What is this…”

A pool of dark red spread rapidly beneath her, pulsing as it grew.

“That’s blood…”

Seeing so much blood for the first time made my legs tremble. The metallic scent filled the air, making my vision blur.

Fsshh…

“It’s all right. I’m here.”

Hinami-san spread her wings, shielding me gently. Her soft feathers wrapped around me, their warmth melting a bit of the fear away.

“Don’t worry. I avoided the vitals. She won’t die.”

“Y-you… Why would you do this?!”

“The reason’s simple. To make sure the males don’t leave this place.”

Her cold eyes seemed to say, “Well, obviously it was going to come to this.”

“What happened to our creed?! We swore to free the males from the demons and bring them happiness! That was our purpose!”

“Ah, that ridiculous motto. No one ever truly believed that. The only ones who did were you… And maybe a few naive newcomers.”

“W-why?!”

“Because we only followed you for your business sense. As long as we obeyed, we could keep feeding off your success forever. ‘Saving males’—that empty slogan—was just a convenient cover for us.”

The other “officers” said nothing, but their silence was the sign of their agreement.

“Traitors…! Mercenaries! Seize them!”

“…………”

“Mercenaries!”

Pigu-san screamed, but the guards didn’t move an inch.

“Hey, mercenaries! I already paid you!”

“We apologize. Our contract was with the cult itself, to protect from monsters. We were not personally contracted to you, Pigu-sama. We cannot interfere with internal disputes.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! That money was mine alone! I earned it with my own blood and sweat! Why won’t you obey me?!”

“We’re sorry… But before being mercenaries, we’re females too♡”

The apparent leader of the mercenary corps exchanged a knowing smile with the woman who had stabbed Pigu.

“Heh… Looks like you don’t have any allies left.”

They must have planned this from the start.

“You’re the one who’s been contradicting yourself all along!”

Stab!

With a triumphant smirk, she slowly withdrew the knife, then expertly bound Pigu-san’s arms and legs.

“You go on about ‘protecting the dignity of males,’ yet you watched Ken-chan’s movies and trembled with excitement, hoarded his merch to enjoy by yourself, clung to him and begged for affection… And you think that’s convincing?”

“Haah…Haah… That’s instinct! A demon’s instinct! You can’t blame me for that!”

“I see… Then if we attack Ken-chan, that’s just instinct too, right?♡”

With that, every pair of eyes in the room turned toward us.

“Ken-chan♡ I’ll mark your whole body with the proof that you’re mine♡ With these bat fangs, I’ll drain you till you can’t resist anymore♡ Just imagining it makes me burn up♡ Don’t worry, I’ll feel it too♡♡♡”

“For starters, let’s spend the next ten days mating nonstop♡ Don’t worry, the mercenaries have plenty of healers♡ You’ll never stop feeling good, even without sleep…♡”

“Haa… haa… I’ll take the big one! Calling us “stinking demons”? I’ll make him regret it! I’ll make him understand!”

“Then I’ll take the little one~ For a bit of variety~♡ Pregnancy or not, I don’t care~”

Rustle… rustle…♡

There were about a hundred of them. Even near the doors, more demons stood guard. If we tried to run, we’d be caught instantly. 

This is bad. Not “oh no, rough sex” bad. This is life-threateningly bad. Worst case, we’ll die.

“Hehehe♡ Ken-chaaaan♡ My darling husbaaand♡”

As the demons advanced slowly, cornering us like prey, a chill ran down my spine.

Fwoosh!

“Eh—”

Just as my body froze in terror, feeling certain they were about to overwhelm me, I was suddenly lifted off the ground.

“Stay back, all of you! The first one to mate with Ken-chan will be me! I’ll never let anyone else have him!”

It was Hinami-san—our supposed ally—who attacked first.
