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 - 13

Chapter 13: First Communication: Misinformation Edition

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

『Now that we’ve become somewhat acquainted with each other, the next step is to ask about his age. Judging by his appearance… Well, he’s quite small, around 1.5 meters tall… So perhaps he’s 12 years old?』

『Hmm… With that height, he should be 9 years old for a beastkin’s perspective. Adult beastkin are usually 2.5 meters tall at least.』

『It might not be useful as a reference, but with that height, he should be 1 year old by snakekin perspective.』

『Looking at it this way, I can’t help but feel the vast differences between races. It’s still strange to think that all races supposedly descended from humans… 【Telepathy】』

(Please tell me your age.)

“I’m 16.” (funya)

(Sorry, I can’t understand what you’re saying. Could you show it with your fingers?)

Express it with fingers? Showing “16 years old” with fingers is pretty difficult… Maybe like this?

(6 years old?)

Shake shake

(7 years old?)

Shake shake

(Or maybe recently turned 11?)

Shake shake

『Hmm, no matter what I ask, he just keep shaking his head. I can’t figure out his exact age. Unlike a name, age is crucial information for selecting the right medicine, so we can’t just guess like before. What should we do…?』

『In that case, since he seems to be capable of using his hands like us, why don’t we give him paper and a pen?』

『Ohh, that’s a great idea. As expected of Lammy, you really are sharp! Just as one would expect from my secretary.』

『Understood. By the way, we have magic pens and charcoal pens. Can Ken-chan use magic tools?』

『That, we still don’t know.  He’s been sleeping whenever he can since yesterday. This is a good opportunity. Why not test it out here?』

『Well, the reason why he’s been sleeping so much is because of Luna-sama’s reckless actions』

『…Please don’t bring that up…』

As I was thinking of a way to properly convey my age, Dalis-san handed me a hard, glossy stick and a white board-like slab. While I stood there dumbfounded, she made a gesture as if writing something in the air with her hand. Could this be some kind of pen?

(Then, charge your “ea” into this magic pen, and once you’re ready to purge it, please do an abuchobet.)

…………………Huh? What?

(Ah, of course. There’s no issue if you purge and abuchobet using the ea generated within your body through rolling.)

Sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I mean, what is this “abuchobet” thing she keeps mentioning? I’ve never heard of that word before. But still, I can’t just do nothing. So for now, I might as well try writing with it like a regular pen. 

『I can sense your intention to write, but the letters aren’t appearing. Fufu, that disappointed expression is adorable as well. I feel like wrapping you up entirely with my tail to comfort you.』

『Hmm, it seems Ken-chan can’t use magic tools. I provided two possible methods via telepathy, but there was no response.』

『I see. In a civilized society, even babies can use simple magic tools… Just when exactly Ken-chan started being raised by monsters?』

『We’ll ask about that again once he has learned to speak properly. For now, I’ve brought charcoal pens and paper, which don’t require magic. Let’s have him write his age with these instead.』

『Alright then. I’ll take back this dangerous, sharp-tipped magic pen.』

“Ah…”

Frustrated by my own inability to do anything, I gripped the pen tightly and stared at the tip, but in the end, I couldn’t make anything happen, and it was taken away from me.

“Hm? What’s this now?”

While I was feeling dejected, I was handed a pencil and a blank notebook—though their shapes were slightly different from those in my original world, they were still familiar to me.

This felt nostalgic. Back then, I used to draw manga in my notebook, even though I had no intention of showing them to anyone.

(Could you draw a number of lines equal to your age on this paper?)

Good. I was worried they’d throw out another incomprehensible word like “abuchobet.” A tally system might be confusing, so I should just draw simple lines in groups of five.

Scratch, scratch…

『One… Two… Three… Four… …I see, sixteen lines… Sixteen!』

『What are you so shocked about? It’s just some lines, right?』

『I-I just asked him to draw as many lines as his age, and… He drew sixteen lines!』

『Whhaaaaat!? He’s this small, but he’s already an adult? Wait, then does that mean… Ken-chan is already at the age where he could make babies?♡』

『Most likely…』

『Alright, strip him down! Time to mate right now!』

『Please wait, Luna-sama! Perhaps our question was unclear. There’s a chance that his way of counting age is different due to being a stray. Maybe we should change our approach?』

『Ugh, fine, I understand.』

(Umm… Could you tell us how many times the temperature has gotten hot and cold since you were born? Please answer as accurately as possible.)

Huh? What does that mean? The question is so roundabout that I don’t really understand what she’s asking about. Is this some kind of riddle from another world? Alright, let’s calm down and think.

First, “the temperature is getting hot and cold”… That means alternating between summer and winter. So, essentially, it’s talking about the passing of years.  And since she said “since you were born”… She’s basically just asking for my age, isn’t it?

But she already asked my age before…So maybe this is a riddle after all?  Hmm, it doesn’t sit right with me, but I can’t think of any other answer. 

For now, I decided to draw the same number of lines as my age again. 

Scratch, scratch…

『Sixteen… The same as before..』

『No, I admit I got carried away earlier and tried to mate with hi, but when I thought about it calmly… There’s no way someone this size could be sixteen! Almost all the human race we cut down the day before yesterday were over two meters tall!』

『As Luna-sama said, the average height of adult human race is supposed to exceed two meters… Perhaps the human race is a species where males and females differ in height?』

『Hmm. Since we only have Ken-chan as a sample for human male, we can’t know for sure.』

『If that’s the case, there’s a good chance Ken-chan could be an adult… Wait a moment.』

『Luna-sama, are you okay? You’re sweating profusely.』

『No, if that’s true, wouldn’t it be bad if this information reached the Demon Lord-sama? At the meeting earlier, we said we’d wait and see until he became an adult, but Ken-chan is already an adult, isn’t he?』

『…』

Dash!

『Demon Lord-sama! This male human can start making babies right now! Let’s have the entire Demon Lord’s army make babies with him!!』

『Wait! Wait, Dalis! I know full well that you have the ambition to develop the demon realm and wipe out the entire human race as soon as possible. But could you bear the guilt of seeing Ken-chan being turned into a breeding pet and crying his eyes out? Besides, if things go well, we might be able to keep this boy all to ourselves!』

Twitch!

『That’s right! Just as Luna-sama said! There shouldn’t be any problem if we enjoy him ourselves first before reporting to the Demon Lord-sama!』

『Monopolizing Ken-chan… Doing this and that as much as we want, making him impregnate us as much as we want…』

『That’s right! The public thing you said you liked… What was it again?』

『The public mama-mount play, where I mate with a male in front of those who used to look down on me and show off I can become a mama faster than anyone else.』

『Yes, that’s it! I don’t quite understand the details, but if we can convince Ken-chan somehow, we will be able to do whatever we want with him!』

『….Understood. That said, considering his illness, I will pretend I didn’t hear any of this.』

『Thank you for your consideration.』

Somehow, ever since I wrote my age on the paper, the three of them started panicking like crazy. I wondered if they were okay.

『Wait a second…. If Ken-chan is already an adult and we can get him to impregnate us as much as we want, doesn’t that mean I could mate with him right now? …Alright. I need to move carefully without those two noticing….【Telepathy】 』

(…Now, we’re going to do a health check, so please take off your clothes. Start with your top and lift it slowly, okay?)

It seemed they were about to conduct a health check on me. Good. I was debating whether to draw a heart on the notebook they gave me to express that my heart was bad, so this worked out perfectly. For now, I started taking off my clothes as instructed.

『Ke-Ken-chan!? W-What’s wrong!? Why are you suddenly taking off your clothes!? Could it be… You want to mate with me!? Oh-ho!~♪ Mating chance♪ Mating chance♪ A one-in-three pregnancy rate per round~ It’s an extremely lucrative opportunity!』

(Next, please say “Dalis Lavais” slowly.)

Lavais? What was that? It was a word I’d never heard before. While the meaning of other words popped into my head the moment I heard them, this one alone remained incomprehensible.

Unlike the earlier “Abchobet,” when I focused on this new word, it felt as though noise or a haze interfered with me. Almost like something was blocking me. 

(…Ha… ha… “Lavais” is something like a word of gratitude, so don’t worry about it and just say it after my name. Come on, hurry up!)

“Dalis? Lavais? (daisuki=i like you)”

『What?』

“Huh… huh?”

『It seems Ken-chan fell in love with me at first sight. There’s no helping it. Ken-chan and I will mate right here and now. So, both of you, please leave this room. Oh, of course, if you have a hobby of wanting to watch our mating session, you’re welcome to stay♡』

『Th-There’s no way Ken-chan would fall in love with someone like you at first sight! Ken-chan likes fluffy ears and tails like mine! You must have put some weird ideas in his head behind our back!』

『There’s no proof that I put anything weird in his head. Honestly, the jealousy of an unpopular woman is so pathetic to witness.』

『Grrr…. 』

『And did you know? Normal human males die of fear if they lock eyes with a woman they don’t like for more than ten seconds. But Ken-chan has been staring at me for not just ten seconds, but over a minute. This basically a male courtship behavior saying, ‘Attack me~♡ Mess me up and make me a papa♡’!』

『Shut up! You arrogant introverted dark elf! Let’s take this outside right now! I’ll beat you to death!』

『Please go outside by yourself. I’ll make sure to properly record our first time with a magic tool and send it to you』

『Lammy!  Start preparing to cast a spell now! I will punch her when she dodges!』

『Yes! 【Blizzard Cage】!』

『Huh?』

Crackle!

『Hahaha! Serves you right! Now that I think about it, you were completely hopeless at combat, weren’t you? I didn’t even need to aim properly for when you dodged.』

(Attacking a fellow member of the Demon Lord’s army with magic without any hesitation… You two are insane.)

『Oh, so this is telepathy. It’s quite a strange sensation. But still… Pfft, too bad for you. Frozen in ice like that, you can’t mate, can you? That’s right! The kind me will mate with Ken-chan in your place. Make sure to burn this sight into your eyes, okay?』

(Stop it!!! I love the situation of mating in front of someone I hate, but I don’t want to experience being the one watching!!! My brain! My brain is breaking!!!)

“Luuna..?”

『Oh, what’s wrong, Ken-chan? If it’s mating you want, wait just a moment. I’m adjusting this frozen weakling elf’s line of sight so she can see us better.』

“Luuna lavais!” (Luuna, I like you!)

Gah! Thud!

『Luna-sama! Why are you suddenly bleeding from your nose!? Luna-sama! Luna-sama!… She passed out with a happy look on her face.』

“Lammy lavais!” (Lammy, I like you!)

Guh! Thud!

『Oh, Ken-chan, please hold up your hand. We’ve got a fourth baby now… Here.』

Slump…

“…”  

What should I do… I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, but they all started bleeding from their noses and collapsed. For some reason, Dalis-san was frozen too. 

“Cold!”

At this rate, my stomach would get cold. Maybe I should put my clothes back on until the doctor arrived.
