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 - 5

Chapter 5: The Servant Who Wiped the Body Fainted for Three Days

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Oooooh! Oh, oh, a male! A human male is in my room! Ababababa!”

“Luna-sama, please calm down! I will handle this!”

Despite trying to maintain a composed demeanor, Lammy couldn’t completely hide her own agitation either. Her tail swung wildly from side to side at an incredible speed, as if it had a will of its own. I could hear the whoosh whoosh of the wind cutting behind me, and honestly, it was a little scary.

“B-But it can’t be helped! I’ve only ever seen a human male in mating books! What if… What if I end up becoming a mother today?!”

“Same here! But if we don’t stay composed, things will only get worse!”

Saying that, Lammy slightly opened the door and pointed at the bustling servants in the hallway.

“Hey! You! Why are you storing the mud that the human male dropped in a container?! Give it to me!”

“You too! Hand over the towel that wiped the male’s body…! Aaaaaahhh!!! She ate the towel!!!”

“Mmmph! Mmmph! Mmmph! Mmmph! Ahhh, the bitterness blends perfectly with the rich aroma…! Mmmph! Mmmph! If this were served at a restaurant, I’d give it a solid three stars!”

“Guhhh…! If it comes to this, I’ll just dissolve this freshly gathered natural mud in hot water and… (gulp, gulp!) Delicious! This is the ‘Male Essence’ I’ve dreamed of… Oh? Suddenly, I’m feeling dizzy… (thud!)”

“Luna-sama! I don’t care if I get fired! Please, just let me see that male! I swear I’ll be done in 40 seconds! Just let me bear his child!”

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM! CRASH!

To avoid chaos, we had only informed a select few about the presence of the human male, but it was meaningless—the entire castle was already in a state of panic. At this rate, the news would spread in no time.

“Funya…? …Funya… Funyaa……………Funya! Funyaa!”

“O-Oh! He’s awake! W-Wh-Wh-What should we do?!”

As I lamented the disaster unfolding in my castle, the rescued boy rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly woke up. He looked around anxiously, as if searching for a parent.

“Funyafunyafunyafunya! Funyafunyafunyafunya!”

After staring at the two of us for a moment, the boy seemed to understand his situation. He lowered his head toward us, as if trying to say something.

“Wha-… What an adorable child. Even the way he makes those ‘funya funya’ sounds is too cute. There, there! You must have been scared when the slime attacked you~! From now on, Onee-san will take care of you~! What’s your name, little one~?”

Pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat… SMACK!

“Ouch! What was that for?!”

Just when I was enjoying my patting time, Lammy smacked me hard on the head.

“Haah… Please look at him. Luna-sama, your sheer strength is scaring him.”

“Wha—?! …Guh, I-I got too carried away because he’s just too cute… Is he okay? He doesn’t hate me now, does he?”

“Funya funya!”

Then, the boy suddenly struck a strange pose and started saying “funya funya” again. At the end, for some reason, he clapped both hands forcefully right in front of my face. What could that possibly mean?

“What is this gesture…? Is it some kind of threat?”

“N-No! I didn’t mean to hurt him! I was just overwhelmed by how cute he was, so much so that I lost control… Ugh…”

Regret hit me hard, and I slumped onto the ground. If I cut off my own arm right now, would he forgive me?

“Even so, it’s strange that we can’t understand what he’s saying… The human language and our demon language should be the same.”

Just as Lammy pointed out, I couldn’t understand a word this boy was saying. In fact, I had never even heard a language like this before. To me, all of his words just sounded like “funya funya”. Could we even communicate like this?

“Maybe… He’s a stray.”

“Huh?”

“Maybe he somehow got separated from human society and was raised by wild animals. Even the Demon Lord’s army has a few individuals like that.”

“Hmm… That’s a plausible theory. Considering he was found not at the forest entrance but midway through, and given that there’s no human village nearby, that explanation makes the most sense. But in that case, where is the monster that raised him? When we found him, there wasn’t any creature like that around…”

“It was probably killed by another monster. Even within the Demon Realm territory, that forest is so dangerous that its power balance shifts daily. Poor thing… There, there~ Come here, sweetie~ You’re safe now~”

Lowering myself and spreading my arms, I spoke gently to ease his wariness, but he showed no sign of approaching. Grrr… I knew that first impressions were crucial, but I was too captivated by his adorable form and let my judgment slip. This was the biggest mistake of my life!

“Hmm… If he really was raised by monsters, then maybe treating him as a human will only stress him out. It might be better to interact with him the way we would with a pet.”

“You have a point. If he grew up in that forest, even walking on these smooth floors must feel unnatural to him. Maybe we should carry him around for a while?”

BANG BANG! BANG BANG!

“Gurururururu!”

While we were discussing how to handle the boy, my pet Maru-chan, whom I’d raised since she was a baby, started thumping the ground impatiently, demanding food.

“Wao! Wao!”

“Oh, it’s already lunchtime. Maru-chan seems hungry too. Let’s take a break and eat!”

I needed to make sure this little one felt safe here. Filling his belly was the best way to start! With the struggling boy in my arms, I headed to the dining hall alongside Lammy and my ever-hungry Maru-chan.
