Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch…

“Ugh… I’m bored.”

I had made up my mind to live in this world, but honestly, I had nothing to do. Right now, I was confined in a room with several women, who had cat ears and dog ears, including Luna-san. Though “confined” might not be the right word, since I wasn’t bound or anything—I was simply placed inside what resembled a pet cage.

A cylindrical container engraved with magic circles would release water automatically at a touch, and there was even a blanket provided, making it somewhat comfortable. Since I had originally been bedridden in a hospital, I had, unfortunately, grown accustomed to environments like this.

So, I had no complaints about the environment itself.

But!

Not having a smartphone was pure agony! I wanted to lounge around watching videos! I wanted to read the next chapter of my manga! Here, there wasn’t even the faintest trace of entertainment. There were a few picture books with cute illustrations, but, as expected, I couldn’t read the text, so I could only vaguely guess the stories.

“This place is too small for exercise and the clothes they made me wear are all frilly, so they keep getting caught on things whenever I move.”

Since I had ended up in another world, I wanted to do something cool like Lammy-san and fight with magic.

“【Ice Needle】… Yeah, there’s no way that would work. Oh well, guess I’ll just give up for today and draw in my sketchbook. Maybe I’ll start with Aura-san~”

The last drawing I gave her was pretty rough, so this time I’d take my time and make it as neat as possible before giving it to her. I wonder if Aura-san would be happy with my drawing…

“Humming, hmm-hmm-hmm~♪ hmm-hmm-hmm~♪ …Huh? It suddenly got quiet.”

The moment I started humming, the atmosphere in the room completely changed. Up until just now, I had heard quiet conversations and the sound of pens moving, but all of that had vanished. The air had become so oppressively heavy that it felt as if making even the slightest noise would get me killed without question.

Uhh… Scary. Did I do something wrong?

『What a sight…! Getting to work while admiring a male—this is heaven. And on top of that, I even get to hear his adorable singing.『

『Luna-sama! I finished all the documents you assigned me, so that means I can pet Ken-chan now, right?!』

『Sure, but if you overdo it, you’ll end up in another room like the others, so be careful, okay?』

『Got it~! Look, Ken-chan! Here comes your future breeding partner~』

Pat, pat…

As my whole body stiffened under the tense atmosphere, a fox-like woman covered in golden fur approached me and gently stroked my head through the cage.

“…Mm.”

She must have been used to petting living creatures because she skillfully adjusted her touch to match my reactions, finding all the right spots. With each movement of her fingers and arms, her fluffy fur would brush against my face. In my original world, I would never have experienced the sensation of being petted by a creature with such soft, silky fur. It felt incredibly pleasant.

“…Fnya♡”

It was so soothing that an affectionate sound slipped from my lips before I could stop myself.

This world is the best!

『Ahh~♡ So squishy and cute♡ He reminds me of Punya-kichi, the pet I had back in the day… Wait, isn’t he still a child? I hope he grows up soon~』

Pat, pat…

『Once you’re old enough to breed, make sure you tell everyone, ‘Just do it raw for now!’ Okay? Gooood boy, good boy, good boy~』

Women kept taking turns stroking my head, but this person’s hands felt the best. At first, I had been terrified of every hand that reached for me, since they had yanked out my hair, shoved fingers into my mouth, and scratched at my neck. Each time that happened, Luna-san would grab the culprit and drag them off somewhere. As a result, the number of people in the room had dwindled to about one-fifth of what it had been in the beginning. I had no idea if they wanted to torment me or what.

『By the way, these frilly clothes are adorable! Like something a prince from a fairy tale would wear.』

『Right?! I pulled them out from when I used to dress Maru-chan up! Maru-chan looked great too, but a real male is just something else indeed!』

『If an actual prince existed, what would he be like? I bet if there were a shortage of males, he’d sacrifice himself for his people. Like, ‘If there are no men, then eat me instead!’』

『No, the classic route would be for him to lose to the demons and end up as a public breeding pet.』

『Lammy, that would erase the prince’s unique brand and just turn him into a generic captive male, wouldn’t it?』

『That’s exactly why it’s exciting! A prince who once ruled over people getting used however others please—it’s the fall from grace that makes it thrilling!』

『Ugh… I’ve thought this for a while, but Lammy, you really have a sadistic streak in you, huh…?』

『Anyway, now that we’ve gotten all worked up from this dirty talk, it’s time for me to pamper Ken-chan too.』

Grab!

『No, Luna-sama! The rule is that only those who’ve finished their work get to pet him. You still have tasks to complete from our trip to the Demon Lord’s Castle, don’t you?』

『Noooooo!』

『By the way, I finished mine, so… I’ll be showering Ken-chan with affection for your share as well~』

『Aaaaahhhhhhggghhhhhh!』

『Ken-chan, it’s Lammy~ Don’t be scared, okay~?』

Rustle…

“Oh, hello, Lammy-san. Um, your tail is inside the cage… Can I touch it?”

Right in front of me, the tip of Lammy-san’s tail swayed invitingly.

“She looks friendly, so maybe it’s fine? Lammy-san’s tail is so white and pretty—I’ve always wanted to touch it… Here goes!”

Squeeze!

『(O-Ohhhh!!!♡♡♡』

“Oh… So this is what a snake’s tail is like. It’s smooth and feels nice. What about the tip…? Oh, it’s softer than I expected, kinda squishy. You know, this is getting kinda addictive.”

Stroke, stroke, rub, rub♡ squeeze, squeeze♡

『Ahh…♡ Ahh…♡ Ahh…♡ A male is squeezing my tail…♡ The tip of a snakefolk’s tail is super sensitive…♡ I’m only supposed to let family touch it…♡ And now he’s stroking it up and down with those tiny hands…♡ He’s teasing the tip…♡』

Flick, flick♡ flick, flick♡

『Hey! Lammy-san, that’s not fair! Ken-chan, touch my fluffy tail too! I’ll even give it to you! I’ll rip it off right now, so watch carefully!』

Rip!

『Ow, ow, ow! But if it makes the male smile, it’s worth it!』

『You all need to quiet down! Ken-chan is scared because you’re suddenly shouting! Seriously… Here, Ken-chan, squeeze my tail to calm yourself~』

Thud!

『Touch mine too!』

『This is my chance to join the big wave!』

『Damn it! Why is my tail so pathetic?!』

I was in panic, not fully understanding the situation and by the time I realized it, my cage was surrounded by countless tails, and I was buried in fluff.

For some, this might be heaven, but for me—Mph! Who the hell just shoved a tail into my mouth?!

Knock, knock!

『Luna-sama! Lammy-sama! A person named Lumia has come to see you both.』

『Lumia? I don’t know anyone by that name. Either way, since Ken-chan is in the castle right now, entry is prohibited! Send her away.』

『Well… It seems she was told to come here by the Demon Lord. Apparently, it’s an important matter related to Ken-chan. She also have an introduction letter with the Demon Lord’s official seal.』

『What…? ……This is the real seal. And if it involves Ken-chan, I can’t just ignore it. Just when I was enjoying some tail-licking play… Very well. Bring her to the reception room.』

『Understood!』

Slurp!

The tail finally left my mouth, allowing me to breathe properly again.

“Ugh… My mouth is full of fur. Gross. Pfft, pfft! Hm… black fur? Hey, Luna-san, this is yours, isn’t it?”

I wanted to complain, but unfortunately, I couldn’t communicate in their language.

Damn it! I swear I’ll learn their language!

『Haah… My precious flirting time with Ken-chan is getting shorter and shorter.』

『Come now, Luna-sama. You can pet him as much as you want while we’re moving. Alright, everyone, clear the way… Heave-ho.』

Lamia-san retrieved a large cart from the back. She then lifted my cage rather effortlessly and placed it on top. As always, the people in this world were absurdly strong. This cage was made of a tough metal that looked like iron—it had to weigh at least a few hundred kilos…

They can use magic and are insanely strong… If I fought against Lammy-san, would I even stand a chance? Forget overpowering them. I can’t even stand on equal ground with them.

『Alright, let’s go.』

Rattle, rattle…

『Kyaa! So cute!』

『I just want to eat him up… No, I will eat him!』

『Did he drop any fur?! I need to pick it up and keep it as a good luck charm!』

As we slowly passed through the hallway, I could feel the intense stares of the women around us.

This… This makes me feel like I’m a baby in a stroller. I hate this.
