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 - 14

Chapter 14: The Curse of Absolute Obedience

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“I am Aura of the Spider Tribe, assigned to handle your examination. I look forward to working with you.”

『Um, I can only see your face… (Funya funya) You’re a bit too close, so could you step back a little…?(Funya funya?)』

“Hmm… Your facial features are quite different from the human males I’ve examined before.”

『Damn it! Why is it that this world only has nothing but beautiful women?! (Funya funya?!) And what’s with their sense of personal space?! (Funya funya?!)Even if I get aroused, I’m under constant surveillance 24/7, so I can’t even take care of it myself! (Funya funya funya!)』

The one pressing her face so close to Ken-chan was likely the doctor the Demon Lord had arranged—a specialist in human examinations. This doctor seemed accustomed to seeing human males, as she wasn’t flustered in the slightest upon seeing Ken-chan. Instead of attempting to mate with him, she calmly proceeded with her preparations for the examination. Compared to the chaotic brawl we had just had over Ken-chan, her composure was honestly quite surprising.

She doesn’t even go into heat when she sees Ken-chan…Maybe this woman’s sexual desire has shriveled up?

“Still, you have quite a large body.”

As Lammy said, this doctor was quite large, likely due to her being from the Spider Tribe. While she didn’t surpass Lammy in sheer length, she probably outweighed her in mass and other aspects. The spiky, rigid legs characteristic of arthropod demons made her seem rather terrifying.

“Fufu~ Look at you. You’re so tense and stiff. I’d love to chat and deepen our bond, but unfortunately, I don’t have time to waste. Let’s get started. Alright, ‘Sleep’.”

『……Zzz』

She cast a sleep spell on Ken-chan. Her movement was fast and efficient, as if she were working on an assembly line. The light in Ken-chan’s eyes vanished instantly, and his expression softened as he began sleeping peacefully. I wondered… If I kissed him now, he wouldn’t notice, would he? Maybe I could steal a moment and lick his lips a bit…

“Still, you handled that quite smoothly. If it were that Dark Elf, she would have sexually harassed him at least five times by now.”

“Indeed. If it were that lecherous female dog over there, she’d be screaming ‘Mating!’ at least eleven times and already be despised by him. If you’d said the word, I could’ve translated it via telepathy to him, you know?”

“Fufu~ It’s fine. I’m fine like this. Besides, if I showed my full spider form, I’d only end up scaring him anyway.”

“Aura-sama…”

“Well, that just means I get to take my time with the examination… Oh? It’s soft and squishy, but this is a male reproductive organ, huh? I’ve seen illustrations in medical books, but this is my first time touching one directly.”

『Wha-… Wait, hold on!』

Aura briefly showed a sorrowful expression, but the next moment, she was kneading and toying with that thing dangling between Ken-chan’s legs.

“Hmm, fascinating. So this is where our future offspring will come from… I’d love to extract just a little to study its mechanisms… Just kidding. So could you lower your weapons? Raising your sword and the staff are a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think so?”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

“I see… I see…”

Bzzzzzz…

An hour had passed since then, and the magic circle surrounding Ken-chan was gradually fading.

“Is it over? So, what’s the results? Does Ken-chan have some kind of serious illness?”

“Hmm, I discovered something very interesting.”

“Something interesting…?”

“Yes. First off, I examined his body thoroughly, even his internal organs, and he doesn’t have any disease at all.”

“What? That can’t be! Ken-chan suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed!”

“Indeed, as Luna-sama pointed out, we did not inflict any visible wounds on him when he vomited blood. Are you implying that we are lying?”

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!

“Hmm, I had hoped to build up a little more suspense before revealing this, but I value my life, so I’ll get straight to the point… This boy is cursed.”

“Cu-Cursed…?!”

“Yes. It’s not an extremely powerful one, but it gradually weakens the target over time and eventually kills them within a few years. And in his case, the curse has already progressed significantly. Frankly, it’s a miracle he’s still alive.”

“A curse… Who could have…?”

Ken-chan had been in a monster-infested forest at the time. Given that, could the culprit have been one of the monsters in the forest? I had heard of creatures that could inflict curses just by biting their prey.

“That’s unlikely. Monsters tend to use fast-acting curses, but this one has been creeping along for years. That rules out monsters as the culprit.”

Oh, I see.

“That leaves only one possibility… The culprit is from the Human Tribe. As proof, this spell carries distinct quirks seen in spells used by court magicians and high-ranking humans. You know, those unnecessarily long, templated incantations?”

“Wait, I’m not a specialist, so I have no idea what you mean by “those templated incantations.” You all use magic, don’t you? Do any of you understand what she’s saying?”

“No, I only know magic that was developed in the Demon Realm. Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with human magic.”

“I have no interest in human magic to begin with.”

“Well then, here.”

Aura showed us a book containing magic circles and slowly pointed her finger at the symbols while giving us a brief explanation. But honestly, showing me a magic circle filled with bizarre symbols only made things more confusing. Still, if I said that out loud, I had a feeling she’d start a long and tedious lecture, so I decided to just nod along.

“Aura-sama, I have a question. I understand that this is human magic. But why would humans need to curse another human? And on top of that, a precious male… I just don’t understand the reason at all.”

That was certainly a valid point. The number of human males had already been decreasing, there was no way they would cast a deadly curse on one. Doing something like that would be punishable by execution, whether in the Demon Realm or the Human Realm.

“Good question. That part bothered me too, so out of curiosity, I analyzed the spell further and I discovered that the curse has a mechanism that allows it to be turned on and off at will.”

“A curse that can be turned on and off? How does that relate to the question?”

“In other words, this curse guides the target toward ‘death’ as its ultimate goal, but the caster can easily remove that goal at any time. Most likely, the true purpose of this spell is to instill the fear of imminent death, forcing the target into submission.”

Hearing Aura explain the horrifying nature of the spell so matter-of-factly, a surge of fear and rage welled up within me. How could humans do such a thing to such a cute and innocent child!?

“W-Wait! I still don’t understand why Ken-chan would be cursed like that in the first place!”

“Relax. This next part will answer that question. I suspect that the humans in power cast this curse to turn males into obedient breeding pet who could never disobey them.”

“What…?”

“And another thing—his inability to speak is highly suspicious. You said this child became a ‘stray’ shortly after birth, but his body is far too clean for that. Considering that he was cursed by humans, wouldn’t it make sense that he was intentionally prevented from speaking?”

“If he can’t understand the language, he wouldn’t be able to conspire with anyone to escape or ask for help. By completely isolating the male and making him submissive only to the caster, they’re able to create the perfect living doll.”

“Exactly. Well, I can’t say for sure since I never see this curse on the other males I examined before, but doesn’t it seem like a plausible theory?”

Creak, creak, creak!

“As expected, humans are a barbaric and despicable race. We should eradicate them all… Except for the males.”

Daris gripped her wooden staff tightly, unable to contain her rage over the humans’ actions. The Dark Elf race had always had conflicts with humans. She must have had a lot of pent-up resentment. Well, I also felt like cutting loose in the next battle. Maybe I should just hand Ken-chan a weapon and let him take out all his frustrations himself. That might be fun.

“So, what will you do? This kind of spell is easy enough to override, so I could make him your obedient pet… Or should I remove it entirely?”

“What a foolish question to ask. Remove it immediately.”

Something like that was nothing but noise interfering with a true love-filled mating ritual.

“Glad to hear that. Even someone like me, who gets called a heartless psychopath, can’t stand to see such a cute creature suffer.”

Oh? So she does have the capacity to find Ken-chan cute.

I was a little worried, since she showed absolutely no reaction to Ken-chan’s charm.

“【High Cure Curse】That’s it, the curse is completely gone now.”

“What? It’s already over?”

Even though she had been all over his skin during the examination, but the curse removal itself was over in an instant.

“Alright, I’m going back to work. You all can take him and leave whenever you want.”

“Are you sure? Right now, Ken-chan is still sleeping. You could touch him all you want.”

“I’ve had my fill. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, my spider-like form would only scare him. I’d rather disappear before he wakes up.”

Saying that, she clicked her eight legs against the floor and walked toward the door.

“Oh, one last thing. You—the Dark Elf who can use telepathy. When this child wakes up, make sure to tell him this. ‘Your illness is cured. You did well up until now.’ Okay?”
