ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
“Sshhhh… Thank you for earlier. Ah, I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Kento Aizawa. I’m a harmless, weak human, so please be kind to me from now on.”
“……”
“You’ve got a pretty solid build… Do you play any sports or something?”
Swish~ Swish~
“Gah!!!”
“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have touched you without permission! I’ll just shrink into a corner and stay out of the way, so please don’t mind me!”
I had tried to lighten the mood with a bit of casual physical contact, but the wolf suddenly snapped at me, forcing me to back off in a panic.
“Grrrrr…”
I was too scared to look at its face, so I hid under the blanket. But even through the fabric, the low growl seemed to reverberate straight into my chest, making my heart race wildly.
How did it come to this…?
After the bath, I thought I’d be put back in the narrow cage, but instead, I was led into this wide, plant-filled room. Lush grass covered the entire floor. The grass felt pleasant to the touch. On top of that, tall trees swayed near the ceiling, creating the illusion of being in an actual forest.
Well, up to that point, it was still fine. I could shrug it off with a simple, “So it’s a nature-themed room.” The problem was—
Clutching the blanket tightly, I hesitantly peeked out just enough to check my surroundings.
Flap flap flap! Gah! Gaaahh!
“Haa… There are strange creatures flying around above me, and in the distance, some unknown beasts are brawling. I can’t relax at all. Honestly, the tiny cage from before was a hundred times better than this.”
Amazingly enough, there were not only me and the wolf in this room. Many other creatures were being kept loose as well. The only saving grace was how spacious the room was, so large that the walls were nowhere in sight.
I’m definitely at the very bottom of the hierarchy here. That Doberman-looking thing with the horns keeps circling me like it’s thinking, ‘Now’s my chance to eat.’
It was clear now. There was a hierarchy even worse than the bottom of a human social ladder. Truth to be told, I wished I would never have learned that.
『Mmm… I wanted Ken-chan to get along with everyone in this room, but he’s hiding in the blanket. Can’t be helped. I suppose I’ll give a little push for thee shy Ken-chan’s sake.』
“Wait! Stop! Stop it—!”
Just as I was trying to stay still and survive until morning, Luna-san suddenly picked me up from behind and held me tight. I was relieved at first, thinking I was finally being taken out of the room, I was instead placed down right in the middle of two creatures who looked like a dog and a cat—right as they were in the middle of fighting.
『King! Tiara! This child is Ken-chan, who’ll be living in this room from now on. Just like you two, he’s the third male here, so be nice to him!』
Sniff sniff… Sniff sniff…
What was this? They were sniffing my body all over, as if they were trying to check for something. I had just taken a bath, so I shouldn’t smell bad or anything…
Sniff sniff…
““!!!!””
“Grrrrrr!! Woof! Woof!”
“HISSSSSSSSS!!!!”
“Ow ow ow! That really hurts! Are you two trying to put holes through me or something?!”
『W-What’s wrong with you two?! Why are you suddenly baring your teeth and getting so angry?! Did something upset you? There, there, there~』
“Kuuhhhh…”
『Rubbing up against me like that… How adorable…. But no biting Ken-chan that hard! That’s a no-no! As punishment, no snacks for you!』
“…………”
『Oh wow… There’s quite a bit of blood. I guess I’ll have Lammy treat his wounds. There, there. That was scary, huh? But those two didn’t mean any harm, so try to forgive them, okay? I’m sure they just got too excited.』
Whatever they were trying to do, it ended with me getting thoroughly bitten and carried away by Luna-san again. My legs were still throbbing and aching badly.
“Grrr…”
As we left, the two creatures who had bitten me shot me a sharp glare. The coldness in their eyes made me involuntarily hold my breath.
Is this really okay…?
===================
『【High Heal】”
『You called me to treat Ken-chan at this hour, and when I rushed over, this is what I found…?』
『Well~ I just really wanted him to get along with everyone as soon as possible, and maybe I pushed things a bit too fast. But seeing cute creatures playing with other cute creatures… That’s the pinnacle of joy, you know?』
『Haah… More importantly, Luna-sama. Ken-chan is so weak, even a slime could beat him. Don’t you think it would be better to keep him separately? I’ve always thought this room has way too many creatures too.』
『Lammy, you don’t understand a thing. This is exactly why amateurs who’ve never kept magical beasts are so annoying. Listen carefully: the best practice is to raise a magical beast in an environment as close as possible to where it was found. Rather than a sterile, artificial space, this room—surrounded by trees and other magical beasts—is the most calming place for them』
『But… Won’t someone get eaten in an environment like that? Based on what I just heard, Ken-chan sounded like he got completely mauled back there…』
『Wahahaha! No need to worry about that! I always make sure they have fresh food until they’re full. There’s a bit of roughhousing, sure, but it’s never life-threatening. They all know how to hold back. They’re smart creatures.』
『….Is that really how it works?』
『That’s exactly how it works. Besides, with the movie releasing next week, we’re planning to debut Ken-chan to the public. If he doesn’t get used to the animals now, he’ll panic when the real thing comes.』
To his great relief, Lammy-san, still in pajamas from rushing over, healed his bloody legs. Her outfit was just a single flowing piece of sheer fabric, so it was hard for him to know where to look without feeling awkward.
“Lammy-san! Thank you! Lavais!”
『Oh, Ken-chan♡… If you smile at me and say you love me like that, I’ll get embarrassed. I might just pounce on you, you know? Teehee~』
He really liked Lammy-san. She always healed his wounds and was so kind. Being wrapped in her body was warm and soothing, and honestly, he wouldn’t mind just spending his time relaxing in her room, even if the floor was hard.
To be honest, he wished someone—anyone—would rescue him from this hellish room. Being surrounded by wild beasts was terrifying.
Rustle rustle…
“Ah! A cute hamster!”
Just as he was falling into despair in this room full of death traps, a hamster-like creature scurried by at his feet.
“Thank goodness. If a tiny little guy like this can survive in this place, maybe there’s hope for me after all… Come here, Ham-chan~. I’d love to learn your survival techniques.”
He called out gently, and the hamster toddled over toward him… Though the hamster was actually pretty big.
“Good boy, good boy~”
It was another reminder this was another world after all. The hamster was at least bigger than his hand, but seeing a creature smaller than himself for the first time that wasn’t a bug filled him with a giddy kind of joy.
“Fluffy and adorable. Hm? What’s it doing with its arm… Guh!”
Just as he was carefully stroking its head, making sure not to hurt it, his vision suddenly flipped upside down. It happened so fast he couldn’t even process it—but somehow, he ended up flat on his back.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
The hamster that he had just been touching was now bouncing triumphantly on his stomach.
“Wait… Did that hamster just throw me?”
Something smaller than himself should be cute. But knowing it could toss him like that made fear instantly replace any affection he had left of the cute hamster.
“Ah! Hey! Don’t go inside my clothes!”
Rustle rustle…
He tried to reach into his clothes to catch the hamster, but it was too fast. He couldn’t grab it no matter what he did.
“Damn it! …Haa… haa… I’m exhausted. What, can you use shadow clones or something? It feels like there are five of you running around at once…”
“Chirp chirp~!”
Looking satisfied, the hamster peeked its adorable face out from his collar. Then it wiggled its butt tauntingly, as if mocking him, before disappearing back into his clothes.
Rustle rustle…
“…I really am weak. I’m not some mighty hero destined to save a fantasy world or anything.”
For the first time in his life, he was defeated by a hamster. It was a total loss on his side. The faint hope he’d held of becoming an unstoppable hero in another world was crushed—by a palm-sized rodent.
