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 - 96

Chapter 96: It’s About Time I Seriously Seduce You ♡

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I rested my body on the soft grass, letting Maru-chan-san cling to me while I absentmindedly gazed at the scene before me.

“Kiikiiki!” “Pipipipi!!!”

The animals were pounding on the mirror with a force that sounded like they were yelling at me, so I hurried to put my clothes back on. But by then it was already too late, and my jacket had become the target of a tug-of-war among the animals.

“Kyupiii♡♡♡”

Apparently, it had now become the property of Waffle Mofumofu-san, who shoved her head inside and let out a satisfied cry. My sweat had soaked into it pretty heavily, so I really didn’t want them sniffing it too much though.

“Waff!”

“Ah, it got stolen…”

“Kyupiii💢💢💢”

Another animal suddenly snatched the clothes away, and like a toy being passed around, the owner kept changing one after another.

Guuuuuuu~~~!

“Ugh… This isn’t the time to just watch that. I’m starving.”

As I was soothed by the animals’ heartwarming antics, a loud growl from my stomach suddenly echoed. I must have burned through all my energy from all the intense exercise earlier. My stomach was completely empty.

“Funyaa～♡”

“Oh? Mashiro-chan, are you hungry too? Really now, Luna-san, bringing us here without a single explanation is just cruel, don’t you think?”

Pat…pat…

A creature suddenly appeared, soft white fur covering its body like a cat. I stroked it gently.

This was Mashiro-chan. Friendly, affectionate, and above all, a girl who loved nothing more than nibbling on my fingers. She was one of the smaller ones in the room, but despite her cute looks, every now and then she could fire a beam-like ray from her mouth, so I couldn’t let my guard down. (Lost twice already.)

Plop…

“Funyaa～! (Hungry, huh! Here, take this in exchange for letting me do you!)”

“What is this… Ah, insect remains. No thank you, Mashiro-chan, you can eat that yourself.”

“Funya! (Why won’t you accept it! Aren’t you supposed to be the prostitute of this country! Now take it and let me do you!)”

Nibble, nibble!

“Ouch…”

Apparently unhappy that I rejected her gift, Mashiro-chan gently bit down on my finger with her tiny teeth. She seemed to be holding back, but it still pricked enough to sting.

“Gau! (You dare… Not only to come on to Ken-chan in front of me, his mate, but to call him a prostitute too!? You must have a death wish!)”

“Funya! (So what! Ken-chan’s already famous as a lewd male who’ll wag his tail at anyone! I’ve even heard stories of him mating with other females!)”

“Gau! (Wha-…! So that’s why I kept smelling a strong female scent lately! Ken-chan, is that true!? If it is, then I’ll overwrite it right now with my mating!)”

Smack! Smack!

This time, Maru-chan-san patted my back insistently, as if demanding something.

“Maru-chan-san, are you hungry too? I’d also like to eat something… That isn’t bugs.”

Chirin, chirin!

“Mm… What’s that sound?”

Suddenly, a bell rang out, and a portion of the mirror slowly slid vertically.

Nyokinyokinyoki!

From the gap, pale and dark beast-furred arms, scaly reptilian arms, and even insect-like grotesque limbs sprouted one after another, filling the room with an instant, eerie atmosphere.

“Oh… If you look closely, they’re holding scraps of meat. Are we supposed to eat it?”

Wriggle, wriggle!

“Creepy…”

Each time I took a step forward, countless hands holding meat began swaying, almost pleading, “Pick me.” The way they wiggled and writhing was just gross.

“This is straight out of a horror game… Well, I’m hungry anyway, so I’ll just take it all.”

Chomp… chomp…

I plucked one of the offered scraps of meat between my fingers and popped it into my mouth without hesitation.

“Munch, munch… The meat itself tastes like the usual good stuff… But it’s hard to eat like this.”

Some hands stubbornly refused to release their grip, while others even tried to shove the meat into my mouth. But the more oddly they moved, the more they vanished without a trace, like an illusion, only to be replaced the next moment by a fresh new arm offering meat again.

Yeah… This was definitely like a horror game.

“Maru-chan-san, do you want some to ea—”

“Gau! Gau gau!”

When I tried to offer some meat to Maru-chan-san, I saw she was already holding down another arm with both paws, chomping away without a moment’s hesitation.

「Ow! Ow! I paid a fortune for the right to do this with Ken-chan! I didn’t come here to play zookeeper for some fat wolf!」

「Serves you right! I got to have Ken-chan lick my fingers! Look, right here! His saliva is stuck all over, thick and sticky! I’ll never wash this finger ever again!」

Because of the slight gap that had opened in the mirror, voices from the other side spilled through. When I strained my ears, it became clear that there were far more people than I had imagined. It seemed there was a noisy crowd rustling about beyond the mirror.

“Wait… This feeling… Isn’t this like that zoo from before?”

That strange déjà vu I’d been feeling ever since waking up finally made sense. Come to think of it, I’d been dragged into something like this back then too.

“Gau!”

「Gyaaaaah! My finger! It bit my finger off!! Staaaaffff!!!」

Apparently, the reason I was being displayed alongside the animals was because they had judged that I couldn’t draw in enough of a crowd on my own. Thinking back, the last time I was put in this kind of display, the exhibition had been abruptly canceled as well.

“Damn… If only I had idol-tier cuteness!”

Tears welled up at my own helplessness and pathetic weakness. As always, I was useless.

“…Well, sulking won’t change anything. Maybe I’ll cheer myself up by giving some meat to Gon-san and watch her cute reaction. Gon-saaan! I’ve got some tasty meat for you～!”

“………………”

I called out loudly, but Gon-san was nowhere to be seen. Strange… Before we went to the elf forest, she always came running whenever I called her name, and she’d even disguised herself in clothes to join me in the bath. Could it be that she was still regretting not being able to save me from that elf? I was worried about her.

“Guess I’ll go look for her…”

If I found her, I’d not only give her the meat, but also shower her with the 【All-Inclusive Head-to-Toe Petting Full Course】 that Maou-san had loved so much. That was sure to cheer her up.

“Now where could she be～? I think she was napping around here earlier… Ah, there!”

Looking around as I walked, I spotted Gon-san running alongside Hamlin-san. Her big tail was swaying side to side.

“Kon… (I’m exhausted already. How about we take a break?)”

“Ham! (Too soft! Times of hardship are the greatest chance for growth! Did you forget the vow we made, ‘Never again will we lose’!? Remember the enemy’s face!)”

“Kon!!! (The enemy’s face… Not only did she see through my illusions, she licked Ken-chan’s lips… Ahh! Just remembering it makes my blood boil!)”

“Ham!!! (I can’t forgive that giant woman with the countless legs either! Every day she hurt Ken-chan’s neck, sealing it up with healing magic to cover it up, and I couldn’t do anything to stop her! I was powerless!)”

Finding the two of them was fine, but their “tag game” was way too tense, making it impossible to just step in and stop them.

“What do I do with this meat… Maybe if I leave it here, they’ll just eat it on their own?”

Rustle…

“Ham! (Wait, this comforting sound of footsteps… Master!)”

“Gon? (Oh, Ken-chan. What are you doing in a place like this?)”

I had only planned to quietly watch them, but both noticed me immediately and bounded toward me with wagging tails, tackling me affectionately. At least Gon-san looked healthy. I was glad to see that.

“Gon! (Sorry I haven’t visited much lately, what with all the nonstop training. But it’s all so I’ll never let you go again, Ken-chan♡)”

Rub rub… ♡ Smooch ♡

“Gon♡ (This is my apology kiss♡)”

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but I’m glad Gon-san looks better now!”

Pat, pat…

“Gon! (Ufufu♡ That’s right. I’ve finally perfected the secret art I devised to take down those long-ears… And I’ll test it on you first, Ken-chan♡)”

【Gon!】

Bwoooosh!

“Wha— cough, cough!”

The instant Gon-san barked, thick smoke billowed around, engulfing my entire field of view.

“Eh……”

“Phew… This is the transformation technique that hones illusions even further. Whoa there… Balancing on two legs sure is tricky. Ken-chan, you always have it rough, huh.”

“Gon-dono, in addition to training your illusions, you should also train your body! That way you’ll become stronger and more reliable!”

As the smoke gradually cleared, my vision sharpened—and before me stood two women, speaking fluent Japanese.

“Now then, Ken-chan~♡ It’s time for me to return the favor, so come over here♡”
