I Am Sought After by Everyone in a Different World Where the Power and Chastity of Men and Women Are Reversed - 170 (END)

Chapter 170: The Case of Being Revered as a Male Saint

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“…..And so, Male Saint-sama saved the lives of the three adventurers in exchange for his life. Through the noble sacrifice of Male Saint-sama, Kingdom Carthery was able to defeat the terrifying dragon.”

“””OOOOHHH!!”””

The crowd applauded.

“So? Did you enjoy today’s song, the ‘Legend of the Male Saint’? Male Saint-sama was a kind person who treated everyone equally and could heal even the gravest injuries, for a small change of course. He was also the one that improved the potions. It was said he had saved so many injured people, even as of now.

“””OOOOHHH!!”””

“As many of you may know, he’s also the reason behind affordable potions and healing treatment.”

“Whoa… I wonder what kind of a man he was?”

“Thank you for asking! Male Saint-sama was amazingly handsome. It was said his beautiful black eyes and hair could captivate every woman who came across him. Not only was he beautiful, but he never showed any discrimination to non-human races like elf and beastman. He was truly a saintly man! The people in the streets often praised his beauty, calling him the Peerless Handsome Man, the Black-Haired Angel and even Male God!”

“Hmm… I didn’t know there’s a job above the male miko. Black-Haired Angel, huh… I would love to meet him…”

“Well! This concludes tonight’s song. If you enjoyed it, please donate a single copper coin or any amount you can, to the box here! Of course silver and gold coins are very welcome!”

The crowd applauded again. The sound of the applause filled the dining hall.

“…….”

“Kukukuku~ What an amazing story. Now then, I better give a silver coin for the performance.”

“…But the story wasn’t accurate. It’s far from the truth, Ferris.”

“Minstrels tend to exaggerate their tales.”

“Yes, Flora is right. Besides, most of it was accurate.”

“No,no,no! I’m still alive! The most important part wasn’t accurate!!”

Three years had passed since the battle against the mutated Cursed Dragon.

Of course, I was still alive and breathing. The spell ‘Resurrection’ that had suddenly appeared in my mind when the three of them died was, quite literally, a revival spell. The three of them had been brought back to life. I had been prepared to exchange my life for theirs, but fortunately, I didn’t need to forfeit my life.

“…Well, I guess technically speaking, the male saint part of me did die back then.”

That being said, the spell didn’t come without a price. After I cast the resurrection spell, I was enveloped in a pure white light and was able to save everyone, but I also lost my power as a male saint in the process. Upon getting appraised again, it turned out my job had changed to a ‘healer’. People were born with a predetermined job in this world. Never in history had there been a record of someone’s job changing in the middle of their life. This was the first case in history, but then again… Male saint was an exceptionally unique job in the first place after all. Thinking back, maybe I was granted the job of a male saint solely to fight that preposterous dragon. Well, I didn’t regret losing my job as a male saint though. I was able to bring Elmie and the others back to life with it. It was a cheap price to pay if I might say so myself. Besides, I still had the job of a healer anyway. 

“Has it really been three years since then? Time truly flies, huh~”

“It’s hard to believe that we fought that insanely powerful dragon without losing a single person. The whole thing still feels unreal to me even now.”

“It was thanks to Souma’s potion and… Pure luck I guess.”

“I agree with you, Flora.”

It was truly a miracle we didn’t lose a single person in that battle. In that sense, I guess it was no surprise the minstrels had turned that event into a song. Three years had passed since then and I had lost my power as a male saint. I had been keeping a low profile, so the people who recently moved to Annick probably didn’t know who I was. Fortunately, the thing that became famous was the ‘male saint’ job itself, not me. The tale of someone with the job of a male saint had been spreading to other countries and the content of the tale became increasingly exaggerated. This actually worked in my favor though. I didn’t need to worry about my safety. No one would target me anymore. 

“But still, we were really lucky! Especially with everything that came afterward!”

“Yeah! I really never imagined we could live this happily! I feel like my life before this period is like a distant dream, almost like a mirage!”

“It’s really hard to believe… I used to not be popular in my previous world, but now I’m celebrating our three-way wedding anniversary!”

Right. After the battle with the dragon, we returned to Annick. We then had our marriage in Annick. Yes, with all three of them. I got married to all three of them. Wait! I know what you might be thinking! Why did I suddenly marry three people when I grew up in a monogamous world?! Well, it was just… After almost losing them in that battle, I realized just how precious they were to me. Once I became aware of my feelings, I suddenly found myself getting married to all three of them. To be honest, I also never imagined I would go from having no girlfriend at all to suddenly marrying three women at once.

A lot had happened since then. Polygamy was the norm in this world, so even after I married all three of them, women still came to approach me. Like Caroline-san, Diane-sama and even Digiana. They started to make advances on me. The three of them had told me they didn’t mind if I took Caroline-san as my wife (they still refused to accept Diane-sama and Digiana), but I couldn’t imagine myself getting married again after marrying three women at once. Yeah. No way. I definitely didn’t have any intention to increase the number of my wives…. Probably. 

“Indeed. A lot of things have happened, but thanks to everyone… I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”

“Wha-what’s gotten into you all of a sudden, Souma?”

“Hearing that makes me a little embarrassed, but I’m happy too. Th-thank you! I’ll make sure to return the favor during my turn!”

“You’re as bold as always, Ferris. Even though we’re still outside… Souma. You’re not getting any sleep tonight!”

“Hold on, Flora! It’s my turn tonight!”

“The three of you! Keep your voices down!”

A lot had happened since I came to this world. I was able to get this far thanks to the help of many people. I was blessed to meet Elmie, Ferris and Flora, who had become my irreplaceable wives. At first, I was really anxious. I wasn’t sure I could survive in a world where men could be assaulted by women easily. But now… I truly believed coming to this world was the best thing that could’ve happened to me. I genuinely think so. 

Thank you so much, Male Saint-sama!
