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 - 131

Chapter 131: Secret Chapter 5 : Those Who Reached It

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“My, my… To think I’d be hosting a male like this. If Onee-sama knew, she’d probably writhe in jealousy.”

Two cups’ worth of fine tea leaves were carefully prepared, steeped in silence, and then gently presented before us. The rich fragrance of the tea began to drift through the room we were in.

“Thank you for your kindness. I never expected to have the honor of meeting the famed Goddess of Healing, Ceres-sama, in person like this.”

Though Senpai maintained a calm, polite smile, his sharp eyes missed not even the slightest twitch or hint of deceit in his opponent’s behavior. As expected of Senpai. So cool. I fell for him all over again.

“Now then, what business could you possibly have with an old woman like me? If you keep staring at me so intently, even I might start to blush.”

Standing before us was the director of the hospital, the very same one where Ken-chan had once been hospitalized, and from which he had suddenly disappeared. Yes… Right now, we were inside the luxurious mansion of the person rumored to be the mastermind behind the glowing incident.

It all began like this. After gathering information through Senpai’s contacts in publishing and quietly investigating here and there, we eventually concluded that the hospital director who had taken office a few years ago was suspicious.

Apparently, she had come from some distant country, but her exact place of origin was completely unknown. No one knew if she had any family either. Her entire past was shrouded in mystery. All that was known was that she had suddenly appeared among the hospital’s upper management and earned the nickname “God Hand,” said to heal even the worst fractures and wounds with a mere touch.

The very person sitting before us was the subject of such unbelievable rumors.

“So then, Ryuudou-san, how old are you this year♡?”

“I’m in my late thirties this year.”

“Ah…♡ So that’s why♡”

That alone was suspicious enough, but what really clinched it was the testimony we got from a former nurse. When the director examined Kento-kun, her face suddenly changed and tears welled up in her eyes. After that, she began giving obsessive, detailed instructions about his meals, medicine, and everything else, as if she were deliberately planning to weaken him.

“‘She must’ve tried to steal the glory of discovering an unknown disease from me!’”

That was what his attending doctor was overheard drunkenly complaining about at a bar, so the information was probably reliable.

“Still, this male here… He’s quite strong and splendid, isn’t he♡? How about it? Would you like to relax for a while in the other room with my pet…♡?”

“Ha, haha… You jest.”

The elderly director slid her hand along my beloved Senpai’s arm, her eyes narrowing in dreamy delight.

“We’re only here to ask you some questions, that’s all.”

“Oh, really? I thought, since this male had been trying to visit me several times this past week, that it was an act of passionate courtship…”

The director’s shoulders drooped as she let out a disappointed sigh.

“I thought perhaps… We could have mated without money involved… Mating born of love…”

I had suspected it for a while now, but the way this director looked at Senpai was downright indecent. Honestly, at her age, she should really learn some restraint.

“Not even a little? Just the tip?”

“No, that’s quite tempting—te…tempting… Tempt—no, no, that’s too much. Like I said, we came here to ask you something.”

Senpai gave a resigned sigh, reverting to his usual tone, and slid a photograph across the table toward her.

“It’s about Kento Aizawa-kun. You know him, don’t you?”

In the picture were Kento-kun and his family, smiling together in happier times. The warmth of those moments seemed to radiate right out of the photo.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

“Kento Aizawa… Now, let’s see. I’ve treated tens of thousands of humans already, so I might have seen this boy before…Or perhaps not.”

I told a lie, knowing it was pointless. But it didn’t matter. After all, no one in this world could possibly understand the truth.

“Then how about this?”

“…What’s that?”

“Evidence of your unauthorized medical procedures on Kento-kun. If this goes public, Director, you’ll be in serious trouble.”

“…………”

However, what that insolent woman held aloft could not be allowed to exist. If I were to continue efficiently finding people like Kento Aizawa and sending them to the other side without obstruction, my current position had to be maintained at all costs.

“Just give it up already. Who exactly was that boy? I don’t like using threats like this, but… We only want to honor the wishes of his bereaved family.”

Those sharp male eyes fixed on me and before I knew it, a shiver of pleasure ran down my lower body. Honestly, if he pushed me even a little further, I might blurt out everything I’d been keeping secret. My heart was trembling uncontrollably…

“So please… Just tell us what you know.”

“F-fine. Then allow me to tell you the truth about this boy. Please, both of you, lend me your ears.”

“I don’t mind, but… Why the ears?”

Once they saw that I had given in, the two of them leaned in without suspicion.

“【Hypnosis】.”

Ssshh…

But of course, I couldn’t allow the truth to be revealed. The ones who had been “hooked” by the bait in this world were essential to protecting that other world. Their roles could not be disrupted.

“From now on, you will completely forget this boy. You will discard all the information you’ve gathered so far. Do you understand?”

Nod…

Obeying my voice, the two humans nodded vacantly. With that, all the problems were solved.

“Phew… Really, the humans of this world, both males and females, are so easy to handle. They have no resistance to magic at all. Even the hospital staff believed I was the new director the moment they saw me.”

The abundance of males and the ease with which I could control people around me… It was all far too convenient. I couldn’t help but smile.

“If only this body were restored to its original state, it would be perfect… But I suppose it’s greedy to ask for more while still alive.”

Saying that, I lifted the cup, sipping from the same spot Ryuudou-san’s lips had touched. I savored the taste, as if I was basking in the glory of victory. The rich scent of the male that lingered on the rim of the cup teased my nose. It was exquisite.

“Now then, what should I do with these two? I could let them go, but that seems like a waste. Oh, I know.”

“Please mate with me.”

“Hehe, well, if the male himself is asking, I suppose I have no choice~♡ Such a perfect-looking male… perhaps I’ll even make you my lover!”

As I used hypnosis to control him, my hands traced over the male’s body. I was starting to undress him, when suddenly…

【Circle Wind】

“—What!? Magic!?”

A blade of wind struck the wall behind me, forcing me to leap back instinctively and create distance.

“There’s someone else in this world who can use magic besides me… Eh?”

I glared toward the door from which the spell had been cast. But standing there was the person I had longed to see… Someone who shouldn’t have been here… Someone I believed I would never see again…

Yet that figure stood right before my eyes.
