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 - 84

Chapter 84: If You Don’t Fight, You Won’t Survive!!!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“I’m so sleepy…”

Several minutes had passed since we arrived at the castle.

If I’m going to stand around spacing out in a place like this, I’d rather go pet Maru-chan and the others and get healed.

And yet, Luna-san and the others still hadn’t shown any signs of entering.

Earlier, I got impatient watching them and couldn’t hold back, so I reached out to open the door—only to have Aura-san’s threads suddenly shoot out and wrap my entire body in a tight cocoon in an instant.

As a result, I was now being gently cradled by the fox-like woman with soft golden fur—she was supposedly really good at petting. If I remembered correctly, her name was Mofune-san? All I wanted was to go home, and yet here I was, being lovingly held in her arms.

“Alright… That should do for our gear. Then let’s go in there and beat the hell out of every last idiot holed up in that castle. I’m leaving Ken-chan in your care.”

“Understood! I swear on this tail that I will protect Ken-chan from any danger that comes his way!”

“Mmm… I’m the one who assigned you the task, but are you really up for this? I’ll warn you now. If you so much as try anything strange with Ken-chan, it’ll be instant execution on the spot, got it? The Demon Lord is standing by, so we’ll be able to carry the execution real fast.”

“I-I get it! I’ve been doing this job long enough to know better than to cross that line!”

“That’s what worries me…Even the deputy head maid, our second-longest-serving veteran, apparently betrayed us in the end.”

“That couldn’t be helped! Those people… They tempted her by waving around those stripped collages of Ken-chan with the promise of giving her a right to become someone special to Ken-chan in exchange for leaking castle information!”

“Stripped collage…? What’s that?”

“Eh? You don’t know? In simple terms, it’s a photo of Ken-chan where he looks kind of naked.”

“So lewd! Just hearing about it is enough to make me imagine how lewd it must be!! And besides, we never officially made or sold anything like that. It has to be fake.”

“Even if it’s fake… Even if it was obviously just a sloppy cut-and-paste of his face… For those of us who’ve suffered from Ken-chan withdrawal for so long we couldn’t even sleep at night, it was like the devil’s whisper. There was no way we could resist… Poor deputy head maid.”

“Even so, betrayal is unacceptable! Ugh… Once all this is over, there’s going to be a massive round of firings.”

Luna-san had been arguing, and the so-called “Maou” had started doing stretches. The air had grown oddly tense. At first, the castle had been so noisy that I thought maybe they were throwing a party or something, but now I was hearing ominous words like “fight.” I was starting to feel worried. 

“Luna?”

“Ooh? What’s the matter, Ken-chan♡ Don’t tell me you’re shaking because you’re sad about parting with me? Don’t worry. I’ll beat them all up in no time and come right back to give you a whole lot of love~♡”

“Luna… I want to go too!”

“NO NO NO NO!!! You’ll get devoured out there!! It’ll be a 1000 vs 1 gangbang party hellscape!!!”

As usual, I had no idea what Luna-san was talking about, but the way she was violently shaking my shoulders and the look on her face told me she was dead serious. I had tried offering to go with them, but it seemed clear that this wasn’t a situation someone like me—someone who couldn’t fight—could handle.

I had tried not to think about it, but… Moments like this really made me realize just how useless I was. Looking back, ever since coming to this world, I’d only ever been helped by others. I could hardly remember achieving anything on my own strength.

Even if it’s just manual labor, I want to be useful to everyone… Alright!

Once I properly learn the language, I should start finding ways to contribute to them, no matter how little it might be. Maybe I should talk to Aura-san about it first.

“If we delay any longer, they’ll accuse us of cowardice. It’s time to move in. Once we cross this threshold, everyone inside is the enemy. Whether they’re officers or not doesn’t matter. Show no mercy.”

“Hah! That’s my line! I don’t know when you last blew up a mountain, but I haven’t lost a fistfight since the day I was born!”

“E-even I have a special magic I’ve been saving! I’ll wipe them all out in one go… Or at least, I’ll try!”

“Good. Seems everyone’s fired up. Let’s go!!!”

With those commanding words from the imposing figure known as ‘Maou,’ the heavy door creaked open, and they all began to head inside.

“Take care, everyone~! Ken-chan, come on! Wave and cheer them on!”

“Bye-bye…? Everyone, do your best…?”

Mofune-san gently took my hand, and guided me as I awkwardly raised it to wave them off.

“Thank you for the support, Ken-chan! I’m so happy.”

“Hah!? That was obviously meant for me! You’ve only known him for two weeks—don’t get cocky!”

“Oh my, I’m terribly sorry, Luna-kun, but that cheer was clearly directed at me. After all, Ken-chan and I did make eye contact right before he waved. It’s obvious he was cheering on his future spouse, don’t you think?”

“I really think you should drop that ‘future spouse’ delusion… It’s kind of sad to listen to.”

“Hah???”

CLANG!

They’d been arguing up until the last moment, but even Luna and her group of fifty people finally stepped through the doors. I had no idea what was going to happen inside the castle now, but as a complete outsider, all I could do was pray for their safety. Amen.

“Alright, Ken-chan, let’s go have some fun over there~! Everyone’s been waiting for a chance to suck on you, they’re all dripping wet already~ And, of course, we’ll just do a liiittle licking… Just a teeny bit. But don’t tell Luna-sama, okay~?”

“Licking? What’s that? I don’t… Understand… Please explain?”

“Oho♡ Innocent boy scenario♡ Licking, you see~, means licking your ears or hands with a little slurp~♡”

“Lick…?”

“Exactly! Oh, but don’t get the wrong idea. This is purely a traditional form of skinship among beastfolk. There’s nothing indecent about it at all, really~♡ It’s just pure affection when we lick Ken-chan~♡”

“…Skinship? I don’t really get it… Try it on me.”

“Eh!? Really!? Then here I go… Itadakima~su♡♡♡”

Mofune-san gripped my shoulders and leaned in close to my neck—but then…

CLANG!

The door, which had just closed moments ago, burst open again as if something slammed against it. Fiilia-san came tumbling through, completely battered.

“Huff… huff… cough… To punch someone hard in the stomach while they’re casting a spell… That’s just dirty…”

Thud…

“……………I’ll go ahead and heal you for now, okay?”

Time until sunset: 2 hours, 48 minutes.

Remaining survivors: 952 / 1050
