Synopsis[]
40 year-old doctor Chikayuki Shinra suddenly finds himself de-aged and transported to Fenewald, a medieval world of magic and animal-shifting beastmen. Captured by bandits and sold into slavery, Chika has a curse placed on him and spends the next few years suffering from extreme abuse. Salvation comes unexpectedly one day when he is rescued by Gail, a bear shifter with a crippled leg, and Douglas, a lion shifter who is missing an arm. The wounded warriors lovingly nurse the battered Chika back to health and life finally begins to feel hopeful again as the three men find joy in what soon becomes a tender three-way marriage. Chika wants to put his medical knowledge to use helping people in this new world, including the men he loves, but there's still the matter of his curse to deal with. In order to break it, he'll need to... have a baby?!
Characters[]
Chikayuki Shinra[]
When in modern day Japan Chika was a veteran doctor, yet when transported to another world his body was restored to that of a teenager. He is described as serious, kind, and having a reserved personality. Realizing it was not the world he knew, at being chained and confined, Chika was confused and frightened at what had happened to him and felt hopelessness had already filled his new life. Seeing Gail as his new master, Chika feels he angered him and right from the start made a careless mistake. With Gail and Doug saying he can forget all his sorrow as a slave, Chika thinks it might be impossible right now, but he would like to believe that. Tearful, they were the first kind words he had heard in this world.
Gail Von Forrester[]
Seeing Chika imprisoned and buying him, Gail brings him home. With Chika's broken arm in a sling, Gail warns him not to move it so much. Telling Chika not to be frightened and to look at him, Gail introduces himself and states he is from the bear clan. Speaking that it must have been really hard for Chika up until now, Gail adds that from now on he and Doug will protect him. Sorry that he brought Chika as a slave, Gail says rest assured he will not treat him that way. Acknowledging the hypocrisy in buying a slave for money, Gail still could not stand to leave Chika in his state even if it is an insult to him. Not wanting Chika to use his body to serve them, Gail wants him to believe in them and is sorry beast men have treated him that way. With the seal broken, Gail knows it is painful but can Chika tell them his name. 36[1], Gail is described as generally boorish and unsociable, who did not have an interest in love util Chika came along. Doug is his best friend.
Douglas Von Leonidas[]
Finding that Chika is awake, Douglas says he can call him Doug. Thinking Chika could already tell, Doug states he is from the lion clan and Gail is his roommate. Regarding the slave collar around Chika's neck, Doug feels angered that the slavers tormenting him was not enough so then they had to take away his ability to speak. With Chika sat on his lap, Doug feeds him some of the soup Mintz made. Speaking with Gail how they do not know how long Chika has been a slave for, Doug voices that the pain and fear that has been planted inside him over the years cannot be expected to heal overnight. Judging Chika strong, Doug plans to spoil him. Stating that Gail should stay near the lad, Doug gives his blood to deal with the contract to break the collar. 38[2], Doug is described as charming and uninhibited. Having never had a specific person he was attached to, seeing Chika he falls in love for the first time.
Mintz[]
A friend of Gail and Doug, well-versed in medicine and healing, he is the one who tended to Chika's wounds. Glad he is awake, Mintz thinks when he was called over to examine Chika he was not sure what would happen. At 20, Mintz has two spouses named Glen and Paris.
Maldo[]
In the Southern District, Maldo is mentioned when magical items such as a slave collar is discussed. In his store, Maldo sees a customer has arrived. With disobedience, suicide, and speech prohibition placed on Chika's slave collar, Maldo finds it rare for the curses to be this complex. It is not a problem to lift it, and Maldo requests to see the slave contract.
Sebastian[]
Having served Gail's family as a butler for generations, Sebastian's monocle is said to suit a kindly old gentleman. It is mentioned that if one were to get into trouble they could certainly rely on him.

Hector[]
