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 - 54

Chapter 54: Welcome to Elf Town!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Welcome to our village, Luna-sama, Lammy-sama. I am Fiona, the village chief.”

The elven woman standing at the village entrance said to us as she slowly bowed her head to greet us. Her long, graceful ears and composed demeanor alone conveyed her elegance.

“Mm, thank you for the welcome.”

“We may end up causing you some trouble over the next two weeks, but we look forward to working with you.”

She looked to be about the same age as me, but since she was an elf, she could easily be around three hundred years old. Truly a terrifying race.

“We would love to host a welcome party right away, but it’s already late and you must be tired from your long journey. We’ll prepare a proper welcome tomorrow. For now, please rest at the inn.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Thank goodness. Both Lammy and I were at our limit, already starting to suffer from Ken-chan withdrawal. We were one step away from burying our faces in Ken-chan’s clothes… 

Come to think of it, is everyone back at the castle okay?

By order of the Demon Lord, any spoons or towels Ken-chan might have touched had all been disposed of as “potential theft risk.” With no way to get any of Ken-chan’s essence inside the castle now, I hoped no one had gone completely mad from Ken-chan withdrawal…

“…By the way, that fox on Ken-chan’s head—are they an acquaintance of yours?”

“Fox? Ken-chan is just wearing a hat—wait… Huh? Did I even own a hat like that?”

Looking where the village chief pointed, there was definitely something off. The air seemed distorted around it, and the more I focused, the heavier my head felt.

“I see… Excuse me for a moment.”

Clang!

The village chief tapped her staff against the ground. A ripple ran through the air—and a fox appeared atop Ken-chan’s head. It curled its tail and acted as if it owned the place, utterly unfazed by the stares around it. Its behavior was brash, to say the least.

“Wait… Isn’t that Gon!? What are you doing here!?”

“Kon-?! Kon!?”

When I gently picked Gon up, her eyes went wide in surprise, and she looked around in a panic.

“A creature that manipulates illusions… I’ve lived a long life, but this is the first time I’ve seen one. If it’s alright, may I dissect it?”

Shing!

“N-No way! This one’s my pet, Gon! Shee probably snuck in with our luggage or something. Seriously… Gon, you’re such a troublemaker!”

Rub rub rub…

“Koooon!!”

I mercilessly pushed my face into Gon’s belly as punishment while she squirmed in protest.

The soft fur still carried a faint trace of Ken-chan’s scent… Irresistible! Absolute bliss!

“My apologies. I’ll prepare a blanket for her later.”

“Gehehe… Ahem. Pardon me.”

“No need to worry. We elves tend to lose track of time for years when we become absorbed in something. Being absorbed in things you like is truly a fortunate thing. Right now, your comfort is our top priority.”

As she spoke, she carefully tucked away the dissection scalpel she’d taken from her cloak… 

Why is she even carrying something so dangerous?

“Before I take you to your lodgings, I’d like to introduce someone who will be teaching Ken-chan the language over the next two weeks. Her name is Fiilia… Please wait a moment.”

Shuffle shuffle…

The village chief walked toward a nearby shadow, her steps slightly weary. From her back, I felt a sense of resignation born of many years of hardship.

“I don’t want to!!! I really don’t want to meet Ken-chan!”

“What… Is that?”

From the direction the village chief had gone, a small shriek rang out, and an elf flailing her arms emerged. She was resisting desperately, but someone had her by the scruff of her neck and was dragging her along the ground toward us. Her desperate struggles were completely in vain.

“Nooooooo!!!”

“Come on! You’re over a hundred years old—stop throwing a childish tantrum! You’re embarrassing yourself in front of our guests!”

“Ugh… Why are you talking so creepily? You usually sound way more violent…”

【Telepathy💢】　

“Aaaah! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please stop insulting me directly into my brain! And besides, I was just telling the truth! I mean, you read those mating books where people torment males every day…”

【Telepathy💢💢💢】

“GYAAAHHHH!!!”

“Honestly, this child always says incredulous things… Now, come on! Stand up and greet our guests!”

“Ugh… I’m Fiilia. N-Nice to… meet you…”

A tall elven woman reluctantly forced out her words. Worn clothes, unkempt hair, and slouched posture—all gave the impression of someone rather disheveled.

“Are you sure this person is… Okay?Can we really trust her to teach Ken-chan?”

“I do have to admit that she might be a bit… Rough around the edges, but her magic skills are top-notch. She can use telepathy 24 hours a day without tiring, so feel free to use her to your heart’s content.”

“If you say so…”

People like her often have the most twisted fetishes. Best to keep an eye on her.

“Hehe… S-So this is a human male. He looks so fragile, I get worried just looking at him. His arms are all soft and squishy…”

She stared intently at Ken-chan’s slender arms, as if trying to confirm something.

“Cuter than I expected…”

“Of course! Ken-chan is the cutest creature in this entire world! Especially when he drools in his sleep—he’s so adorable I can’t help but want to lick the drool off his face!”

“Well… You always get punched by Maru-chan-sama afterward, though.”

If getting my face bloodied means I can absorb Ken-chan’s bodily fluids, then that’s a small price to pay. I don’t mind at all.

“I see… By the way, when is he going to die?”

Thud!

“Guh… That hurt.”

What a rude thing to say… 

Just as I thought that, the village chief’s staff drove sharply into her stomach. The pointed tip dug deep—it looked painful.

“My apologies. She lacks common sense—things like tact or reading the room are beyond her. She meant no harm, so please forgive her.”

“Th-That’s not true… Compared to the other elves who just hide in the forest all the time, I know more about society…!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Oh? If you know so much about society, then perhaps I’ll have you do some actual work? Thanks to you refusing to become village chief, I’ve been drowning in responsibilities!”

“……”

Beaten and defeated, Fiilia averted her gaze and fell silent.

“If you understand, then go and show our guests to their lodgings!”

Gone was the calm, graceful demeanor from earlier—the village chief now barked orders with force.

“Th-Then… I will show you all… To the inn… sniffle”

Sniffling, the elf began to walk ahead, her steps so unsteady it looked like she might trip at any moment.

“Ugh… I just want to crawl under a quilt and escape from reality already…”

We’re going to be living with this one for the next two weeks…? Is she really going to be okay?
