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 - 69

Chapter 69: Walking 3,000 Miles in Search of a Male

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Bang!

“I gave it everything I had today…Truly.”

The moment the play ended, Ken-chan had fallen asleep like a toy that ran out of magical energy. After escorting him back to his inn, I finally got to relax on my own couch at home. Today had truly been an exhausting day.

From the morning, I had been secretly tailing Ken-chan, running all over town, right and left.

In the end, I got caught up in a kidnapping incident, even had to use my secret technique for the first time in a while—honestly, it was such a hectic day that I could barely keep track of it all.

To be honest, as someone who loved staying indoors, I’d really prefer to avoid days this boisterous…

But—

“When he said ‘thank you’ at the end… I was really happy when he said that.”

Just one look at Ken-chan’s smile made me feel like I could do anything. From deep within me, a warm, glowing motivation surged endlessly, and I felt invincible.

“If I get to feel that wonderful again, then I wouldn’t mind another big incident happening… And I’d rush in heroically and save the day in style… Fufufufu♡”

Ah—this is bad.

I was planning to sleep soundly tonight, but there was this bubbling heat rising from deep inside me and it just wouldn’t stop tingling~ ♡

“Ghehehe… Nnnh♡… Ken-chan♡………Ah, right! I got some of his hair. I wonder if I can make something with it.”

In my hand were a few strands of Ken-chan’s hair that I’d secretly plucked during the festival.

“Maybe a bracelet with a pretty jewel attached, but it might snap easily. I don’t want anything I made with Ken-chan’s hair to break.”

I had heard of groups out there who believed that eating a male’s hair deepened love, but… I just couldn’t understand that creepy logic. Rather than that kind of self-satisfying act, I thought treating it kindly and cherishing it as an object would make the male think, “Ah, she really treasures me… I love Fiilia-san!”

“All right…I’ve decided! I’ll braid it together with my own hair and turn it into a one-of-a-kind charm! This way I can make one for Ken-chan and one for myself.”

Having decided what to make, I stood up from the sofa in high spirits and took out my sewing kit from a desk drawer.

“Fufuun. If I give him this charm as a farewell gift, I’m sure Ken-chan will be happy… After all, he likes me enough to draw my portrait.”

I-if that leads to him inviting me to mate with him… Wh-wh-wh-what should I do then…? If it’s Ken-chan, that kind of thing isn’t totally impossible. I-in that case, I’d better be prepared and take care of everything I can tonight.

I have to be neat and proper, so I won’t be embarrassed no matter what anyone sees. It’s a bit of a hassle, but I can’t cut corners—not when it’s for Ken-chan!

“…But even if I finish the charm tonight, I’ll have to wake up early tomorrow to give it to him, or I won’t get to see him.”

I’m worried whether I can wake up in time, but more than that, I just can’t accept the fact that in less than ten hours, Ken-chan will be gone from this village.

“Ugh… No matter how I try to distract myself, goodbyes are always painful.”

Why were the other elves acting so calm—or rather, so happy—about it? I just couldn’t understand their emotions at all. They were so excited before he came and now that it was over, they just waved him off so casually. How heartless.

Maybe… I should have taken Lammy-san up on her offer…

“No… This is for the best. If I spent any more time with Ken-chan, I probably wouldn’t be able to handle the final goodbye!”

To remind myself of the pain I had started to forget, I gently took out the necklace she gave me from the drawer. The moment the cold metal touched my fingertips, memories from that time quietly stirred deep within my heart—

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

A few years ago, in the Elven Forest…

“Fiilia! Are you out of your mind, saying you’re gonna leave the village!? As village chief, there’s no way I can allow that!”

“Sh-shut up! Just because you’re the chief doesn’t mean you can boss me around! I’m leaving the village to marry a small, cute male!”

“You think you’re gonna find a male like that so easily!? You’re way too naive… You have no idea how harsh the world really is.”

The village chief pressed her fingers to her forehead, looking like she wanted to sigh in exasperation. No matter what anyone said, I was going on an adventure—just like the ones I’d read about in books, full of dreams and hope! And during that journey, I’d meet a small, cute male… We’d make all kinds of memories together and build a warm, happy home.

“Listen. This is about the survival of the Elf race… We’re a peaceful species, known for avoiding conflict and having no attachment to (zzzz…). That’s all part of the long-term plan to make males into (zzzz…) and ensure eternal (zzzz…). We can’t let your selfishness undo all that effort.”

“I don’t care about some outdated plan like that! Mom, you already mate with a male assigned by the humans anyway, so she doesn’t understand how I feel! I wanna mate toooooo!!”

Flail flail… flail flail…

“Sigh… I wonder who you take after…”

“Maaaaaaate! I wanna hear, ‘Dinner first? A bath? Or maybe… me♡?’ after a long day of work tooooo!”

Flail flail… flail flail…

“You don’t even have a job. Ugh… Fine. I’ll allow you to leave the village.”

“Eh!? Really!? …Are you serious!?”

She’s usually so stubborn and never listens to a word I say… Why’s she being so agreeable today?

I even prepared adult diapers so I could hold out another hour if I had to…

“But there’s one condition. I’m going to erase all your memories related to the Elf plan.”

“W-Why go that far!?”

“It’s the rule. And besides, you’ve got a loose tongue. If you blab about our plan outside the village, we’re screwed.”

“I’d never go around telling people that!”

Mom is so mean… Why won’t she trust me? She’s totally unfit to be a parent!

“Okay then—say you had to choose between leaking the Elf secret or getting to mate with a male. Would you really keep your mouth shut?”

“…I wouldn’t taaaalk.”

“Your eyes are darting all over the place… Good grief. So what’ll it be? Stay in the village and follow the Elf plan, or have your memories wiped and chase after a male—make your choice.”

The village chief stared at me with eyes as cold and strict as a judge handing down a sentence.

Her gaze made my spine go stiff, but I couldn’t back down now! I’d take a step forward—for the sake of mating with a male!

“I’ll leave the village! I’m not small-minded enough to stay put in the village for my whole life! With my magic, I’m sure I’ll become super popular!”

“Yeah, yeah, got it. I’ll wipe your memories now—don’t resist. This spell requires mutual consent. Sleep.”

“Spheee… zzz.”

“Technically I should darken her skin and make her a dark elf, but… She’s still my precious daughter. Just don’t get yourself hurt, okay?”

And so, my journey to find a husband began.
