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 - 29

Chapter 29: Common Sense? It Doesn’t Exist Here

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“I… I killed someone…”

“Don’t say something that sounds so ominous like that! She’s just taking a slightly longer nap, that’s all!”

“…Isn’t it usually called ‘death’ when someone is lying there bleeding?”

I turned my gaze through the glass toward the soldier lying in a pool of blood. I hadn’t expected the soldier to attack so suddenly without even a warning. Just in case, I explained the situation to the receptionist and asked her to help the unconscious soldier when I was doing the ticket check. However, the receptionist simply waved it off as if it were an everyday occurrence to her. She even said something like, ‘Again…? Well, if they can die for their male, then doesn’t that mean they died an honorable death?  Alright, next in line~’

This town might really be doomed. Just yesterday, people would panic if a single robber showed up… This town used to be that peaceful.

“Maybe I should move…”

“Come on! Don’t look so dejected! It’ll be fine! Someone tough enough to become a soldier won’t be fazed by losing a leg or two!”

“If I end up getting arrested, I’m definitely holding a grudge against you.”

The more I thought about it, the more it felt like I was already guilty just for sending that soldier to the hospital… Yeah, I should definitely move tomorrow.

“Alright! Enough with the gloomy talk! Time to enjoy the movie!”

“Haah…”

Gerbera clapped her hands together with a sharp snap and, as if to say “That’s enough!”, she grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the concession stand. The stand sold drinks and cute trinkets, and a diverse mix of races had gathered there, their faces filled with bliss. For some reason, certain spots on the floor were damp, causing the carpet in those areas to darken. I had no idea why.

“This is my first time in a movie theater, but… This place is kind of surreal.”

“Really? Movies are amazing! The latest technology makes them so immersive, like stepping into a book. Just seeing the movie announcements in the magic newspaper gets me so excited already!”

“Huh… Oh? What’s that…? A diaper section? Do people need diapers at the movies?”

I turned my gaze toward a massive tower of diapers standing proudly before me. In front of it, a long line of people had formed. Watching fully grown adults desperately swarming the diapers was both bizarre and oddly comical.

“I’ve never seen anything like this either. Sure, the movie is two hours long, and bathroom breaks could be a problem, but… Would people really go out of their way to buy diapers?”

“But look at that line!”

“Hmm… I’m curious, but we don’t have time to stand in that line. Look, over there. That’s the food and drink counter. Let’s go there instead. Since I gave you a ticket, you at least owe me a drink!”

Leaving the diaper-seeking crowd behind, I was forcibly dragged into a shorter line for drinks and snacks.

“Haah… I guess I have no other choice… Hmm, let’s see… The special drink is… It’s so expensive!”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Gulp, gulp…

【Please keep your voice down when you’re pleasuring yourself while the movie is playing to avoid disturbing other guests!】

【Even if you stick your head into the screen, you won’t be able to meet the characters directly. Please refrain from flying inside the theater!】

【We understand the urge to splash bodily fluids on him, but it will only dirty the screen, so please refrain from doing so!】

【If dragonkin breathe fire…】

【If beastkin start howling…】

【If elves…】

――――――――――――――――――

I sipped on a drink that cost nearly five times the price of a normal one and turned my attention to the warnings displayed on the screen. Seeing all these cautionary messages tailored to different species, I couldn’t help but think that whoever made these must have had a rough time… Huh?

“There was one particular warning that caught my eye… So pleasuring yourself is actually allowed during screenings?”

“Pretty much. You know how recently that male cross-dressing actor from the hyena-type beastkin debuted, right? Since hyenas have that thing, there are proper mating scenes in the movie too.”

“Ugh… Why on earth would I pay good money to watch a mating scene between two women?”

Just imagining it gave me chills. I knew some people were into it, but I just couldn’t see the appeal. Male-on-female mating books were still the best.

“Well… Personal tastes are subjective, so I can’t really judge people for liking it. The real issue is that, despite those kinds of scenes being included in the movie, banning people from pleasuring themselves was seen as ‘torture’ and ‘a violation of basic rights,’ leading to a flood of complaints from demon realm moviegoers.”

“What kind of garbage complaint is that…? No, actually, my library gets similar complaints like that. At least twice a month, there are people demanding that we allow masturbation in the library. For some reason, it seems like the higher-ups are seriously considering it.”

If someone gets aroused while reading a book, they should just borrow it and enjoy it at home. Oh, but male body-related books are not allowed to be borrowed… Wait. Getting turned on from a purely academic medical book is already weird in the first place, right? 

“Since it’s considered an instinctive biological reaction, denying it would be an insult to the entire species!… Or so their argument, which makes it hard to refute under demon realm law.”

“…Come to think of it, didn’t that one inn burn down and turn to ash after posting a sign that said ‘Dragonkin is prohibited from masturbating due to fire hazard’?”

“That was a tragic incident indeed… Anyway, as long as they don’t disturb other guests, people can pretty much do whatever they want. I even heard that bird beastkin sometimes end up laying eggs in the middle of the movie.”

“What the hell…”

“Look over there! See that cow-type beastkin? She brought a baby bottle to store her milk and… That beastkin over there has a leash and collar. Looks like everyone’s getting ready to enjoy the movie in their own way!”

“I’m suddenly feeling really reluctant to sit down. Maybe I should just stand and watch the movie instead of sitting down…”

Now that I started thinking about it, these fancy-looking seats might already be covered in who-knows-what kind of fluids. The more I dwelled on it, the more my back and tail started to feel itchy and uncomfortable.

“Ah, standing is against the rules, so that’s a no-go.”

“Why the hell is masturbation allowed, but standing isn’t?! This place is insane! In fact, this entire facility is insane!!”

The townspeople were killing each other over movie tickets, and now bizarre rules were being made just to accommodate perverts—everything was completely deranged.

“Also, loud voices are against the rules, so be careful! Sorry, everyone! This kid’s never been to a movie theater before. I’ll make sure to keep her in check…”

“NNNNNGHHHH!!!!”

Since I couldn’t shout, I let out a deep groan to vent the sheer absurdity of the situation welling up inside me.

“Tch! Know your place, will you? …Ah~♡ Jeez, this is why people with no common sense are so annoying. Oh, sorry, Ken-chan! It’s just some weird girl sitting next to me~♡ I promise I’m only looking at you, okay? Don’t pout like that, my sweetheart~♡”

The pervert squirming next to me muttered complaints under her breath. She was holding a newspaper clipping and mumbling something incomprehensible, all while slipping a hand into her pants with an expression of utter bliss.

…How the hell am I the problem here?

Being told to “mind my manners” by someone practically naked felt like an insult. We were in a public space, right?

BZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Just as I was about to give up and leave, an ear-splitting buzzer blared, and the entire room went pitch black. The movie was probably about to start. At this point, there was no going back. and  so, I resigned myself to sitting quietly in my seat.

“…Alright, might as well try to enjoy the movie. Besides, I’m kind of curious about this Ken-chan person.”

After watching the film, I would come to deeply regret my casual attitude toward the movie. Had I known what was coming, I definitely would have bought a diaper beforehand…
