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 - 79

Chapter 79: Side Story: The End of the Waiting Group

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Ken-chaaan! I made my special rabbit stew for you~ It’s packed with tons of love, so chew it really well, okay? ♡”

Chomp… munch munch…

“Is it delicious? Hey, hey? It’s delicious, right? You’ll say it… You’ll say it, won’t you?”

“…It’s delicious.”

“Tch! Don’t talk in that ugly, murky voice!”

“But you told me to say it…”

“Shut up! You’re ruining my imagination of Ken-chan! This is the part where you’re supposed to nod silently with teary eyes and a shy glance, [Nod…] like that!!”

“S-Sorry!”

“Then don’t talk! Just stick Ken-chan’s photo on your face and stay still! Speak again, and I’ll sew your mouth shut!”

This was the venerable castle ruled by Luna-sama, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Normally, the beastkin tribe, invigorated by a single whiff of Ken-chan’s scent, would be seen diligently and courteously tending to castle duties… But not today.

“Ken-chaaan! I miss you, Ken-chan! Why have you been gone for two weeks?! Aaaahhh!”

“One photo of Ken-chan fresh out of the bath… Two photos of Ken-chan yawning with his tiny mouth… I’m still one short!!!”

“His spoon, clothes, underwear—all the precious relics with Ken-chan’s lingering scent were thrown out… Even if it’s Luna-sama we’re talking about, I still can’t forgive her! Because of her, we’re fighting a bloody musical chairs game over the one chair Ken-chan sat in, just once, for a moment!”

About a week ago, Luna-sama took Ken-chan on a comfort trip, and since then, the castle had been in chaos. Only about ten percent of the survivors were functional. The only saving grace was that, with their master absent, cleaning was the only task left, but that left too much free time, and everyone had fallen into severe Ken-chan withdrawal.

“I chose you as Ken-chan’s stand-in because you’re close to his height, but what’s with that half-hearted attitude?! Ken-chan doesn’t smell all feminine like you, doesn’t tremble or act all nervous, and is way purer and angelically cute!!”

“But even if you say that…”

And so, I was going around, trying to bring some sanity back to these crazed people, one by one… But now, I deeply regretted getting involved with them. They’d long abandoned common sense. They were trying to see things that weren’t there.

Look at them, smiling with eyes possessed by madness… Honestly, they were terrifying!

“I can’t do this alone… No choice, then!”

Poof…!

I pulled a sealed object from a Ziploc bag in my pocket and, hesitantly, tossed it to the ground.

“What’d you throw? Sniff sniff… Oh! It’s got Ken-chan’s scent on the tip!!”

What I threw was Ken-chan’s used spoon, secretly swapped out during my serving duties. This spoon was collected right after he drank soup, it was steeped in pure “Ken-chan essence.”

“S-So… If I lick this… It’s like I’m having an indirect kiss with Ken-chan!? Hah… ♡ Haaa… ♡ I’m practically mating with Ken-chan already! ♡”

The senior who’d been yelling at me lost all reason as she picked up the spoon, wagging her tail frantically.

Drip… drip…

Looking down, I saw a small puddle forming from her endless drool.

“Sniff sniff… This rich, arousing scent…“

“Hey! She’s got Ken-chan’s used spoon! Steal it!!“

“What? I’m stuck enduring it with the corner of a desk Ken-chan touched, and you get to use a cheat item like that? Hand it over!“

As expected, in this chaotic space filled with ghouls and demons, pulling out such a “treasure” had obvious consequences. Sure enough, the surrounding fiends pounced, and a brawl erupted over the spoon.

“Let go! If you resist, I’ll take your whole arm!”

The beastkin tribe’s wild instincts were unleashed—scratching, biting, tackling, grabbing hair, and slamming each other to the floor. Blood and drool flew through the air, a true scene of hellish carnage.

“Now is my chance to escape… Ugh, bye-bye, my Ken-chan…”

Bidding farewell to my now-worthless heirloom, I reached for the door to the entrance.

There has to be at least one sane person out there.

Click…

“Everyone! Please help—”

Whoosh~♡

“Ugh, what’s this… Weird smell?”

The moment I opened the door, a sweet-sour scent stung my nose. The air felt sticky, clinging to my face, making me grimace.

“Ken-chan! Look at me! You don’t know how much love I put into your food every day, do you!? I want to mix XXX into your soup to carve myself deeper into you, but my chef’s pride holds me back!! So! Please… Praise me…!!“

“I read it in a mating book! Humans are in heat all year round, apparently! Thanks to that, every time I see you, I imagine, ‘What if Ken-chan suddenly runs up and starts humping me in a mating dance? ♡’ I’m in heat every day, even when it’s not mating season!“

“Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡ Ken-chan ♡“

“Oh… Right. The entrance is in the middle of a Ken-chan screening party.”

Beyond the door, a projector—bought with the profits from Luna-sama’s Ken-chan merchandise—was playing top-secret footage on an endless loop. Even Lumia-san hadn’t seen this secret footage yet. 

“Hehe… Ken-chan~♡”

Everyone was staring at the footage while holding their chosen props. The floor was turned into a drenched disaster thanks to their libido. There was no safe place to step on. 

“Without Ken-chan… No. Precisely because he’s gone, they’ve lost the sense of ‘being watched by a male.’ They’ve all gone wild, completely unhinged.”

Like a beast that had tasted meat and could never return to being herbivore, we had learned the allure of Ken-chan. Having known the taste of Ken-chan, we couldn’t live without him. Our bodies craved him, running wild…

“Ken-chaaan, look over here. You’re so cute, munching like that.“

“What’s with that beckoning? Do you want something? Hehe, Ken-chan’s hands and nails are so tiny and cute~ ♡“

On the screen, Ken-chan’s smile seemed to beckon only to me.

Thump ♡ Thump ♡… Splashhh ♡

“Maybe I should just…”

That’s right. Everyone is crazy right now. Holding back in this situation is what’s weird.

In fact, this was a vacation for all of us who had endured those grueling days, where we could only stash Ken-chan’s belongings in secret and hold those precious treasures close to our chest as we reveled in the scent of Ken-chan’s scalp. In that case, abandoning one’s reason and drowning in the nectar of Ken-chan was the only and ultimate courtesy in this paradise.

“I’ll take back that spoon… No, I’ll settle this here first! ♡”

Following the others sinking into indulgence, I reached for my lower half to join the festival when…

BOOM!!!

The entrance exploded…
