Vol 1 Chapter 5 – Sperm Rank and Personal Guardians

It was about three days after the chaotic scene in the grand bath.

I was finally getting used to the norms of this world, but I still hadn’t been discharged from the hospital.

The reason for that wasn’t because of my injuries from the accident, but for the incomprehensible reason that my Sperm Rank was SSS.

Apparently, in this world, men are ranked by their sperm, and that’s how their superiority is determined.

Incidentally, my Sperm Rank is an off-the-charts rating, two levels above the highest rank of S.

They told me my hospital stay was being extended for tests related to that.

Based on this Sperm Rank, men can receive government subsidies and preferential treatment at work, so it seems men are quite desperate about it.

Furthermore, since a high Sperm Rank means it’s easier to leave behind descendants, women also become frantic in their search for partners with better genes.

In this world, the number of men is overwhelmingly smaller than the number of women.

Maybe that’s why, but in the few days since I was hospitalized, several nurses have tried sneaking into my room at night.

Yukina has been fending them off each time, but…

In any case, just being male makes you a precious asset to the country, and men with high Sperm Ranks can receive treatment on par with royalty.

And saying “on par with royalty” is no exaggeration. For example, men who exceed A-rank are assigned Personal Guardians, who are supposed to remain by their side on a 24-hour basis.

Apparently, I was a B-rank before my hospitalization, so I didn’t have a Personal Guardian.

However, when I was re-examined after the accident, the result came back as the extraordinary SSS-rank, and a Personal Guardian was urgently assigned to protect me.

And so today, a pair of women came to my hospital room.

One was a woman in her late twenties, and the other was a young woman in her late teens.

Both were unbelievably beautiful, with outstanding figures.

They were both dressed in suits, looking like what you’d call SP agents in my previous world.

It seems that as my exclusive Personal Guardians, they will be with me at all times from now on.

“It is a pleasure to meet you. Starting today, I will be in charge of your protection, Yuuma-sama. My name is Tachibana Koyo.”

“Likewise, I am Sakurai Kaede.”

“Uh, it’s a pleasure to meet you both.”

Overwhelmed by the imposing presence of the two women bowing their heads, I somehow managed to return the greeting.

The older woman who introduced herself as Tachibana Koyo had long, red hair, sharp eyes, thin lips, and a well-defined nose.

But her most striking feature was, without a doubt, the size of her chest.

Her bust was probably over 100 centimeters.

On top of that, her hips were wide, her waist was cinched, and her legs were long.

She had a true bombshell figure.

The other, Sakurai Kaede, was a girl with silver hair styled in a short bob.

Her eyes were big and bright, and with her well-proportioned features, she was incredibly cute.

She was apparently sixteen, the same age as me, and at about 155 centimeters, she seemed a little on the short side.

But she, too, was buxom, with a narrow waist and large hips.

She had a body like a pin-up model.

These two are going to be my guardians… I’m starting to get nervous.

“First, there is something I must make clear. We hold absolutely no romantic feelings toward you, Yuuma-sama. We have undergone special training for this. Our job is to protect your physical safety. We will never bring you harm. Therefore, please rest assured.”

“Okay…”

That’s… a little lonely…

I guess any man from this world would be thrilled to hear that, but for me, it’s just sad.

Still, these two are really something else.

They haven’t let their guard down for a second.

From the movement of their eyes and the way they breathe, I can tell they’re constantly surveying their surroundings.

“There is one more important thing I forgot to mention.”

“What is it?”

“The fact that your Sperm Rank is SSS is a top-secret matter. I must ask that you never, ever speak of this to anyone.”

“Why not?”

“Because your Sperm Rank is so high, there is a possibility that other countries might try to kidnap you, Yuuma-sama. In order to monopolize you, there may be those who would appear to confine you or even try to kill you. If that were to happen, your very life could be in danger. So please, I implore you, keep this a secret.”

So something that dangerous could happen…

This world is a lot more perilous than I thought.

In any case, there’s still so much I don’t understand about this world. I need to be more careful.

I renewed that vow in my heart.

“However, you can rest easy, as we are with you. We will most certainly protect you from any and all danger!”

Sakurai-san declared forcefully, her cheeks flushing red.

“Thank you.”

I offered her my thanks.

In response, her face turned an even deeper shade of crimson.

“Ah, um, I—! Please excuse me for a moment! If anything happens, please call me at this number! I’ll be there within five seconds!”

With that, Sakurai-san quickly left the room.

“Hey, Sakurai-san! Where are you going!?”

“I’m just going to—to run outside for a bit to cool my head!”

Shaking off Tachibana-san’s attempt to stop her, Sakurai-san exited the hospital room.

I just stared after her, dumbfounded.

What was that all about?

Acting like that all of a sudden…

I couldn’t make sense of it.

After Sakurai-san left, a silence fell over the hospital room.

Then, Tachibana-san spoke up.

The tension from before had vanished from her expression, replaced by a softer atmosphere.

And she looked somewhat amused.

“My apologies. She is still young, so she gets flustered when faced with a charming man like you, Yuuma-sama. But please, do not worry. Among Personal Guardians, her skills are top-class. When the time comes, she will surely protect you.”

“I see… Do you not get flustered, Tachibana-san?”

I was curious, so I asked.

Tachibana-san answered, a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

“Me? Of course… I’m flustered… But even if we are together twenty-four seven, I would never assault you, Yuuma-sama.”

Assault me… The women of this world really do have strong libidos.

“But…”

Tachibana-san’s expression softened. She closed one eye and brought her index finger to her lips.

With a mischievous smile, she continued.

“If you were to make a move on me, Yuuma-sama… I’d welcome that anytime. ♡ And for the record, I’m still a virgin. ♡”

“Wha—!?”

My face grew hot, and I could feel myself blushing.

Tachibana-san chuckled at my reaction.
