My Third Life Is in the Future World! After Being Betrayed and Losing His Memory, the Former Hero Begins Sweet School Days in a World with a 1:50 Male-to-Female Ratio - 8-9

Chapter 8: 【Side Story】The Goddess’ POV – It’s Not the Same Anymore

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Uwaaaaahhh!!! What the hell do you think you’re doing?!

“You actually killed the hero who defeated the Demon Lord?!”

What should I do… Seriously, what should I do…

I, the Goddess Ishtar, was in a complete panic. Transferring someone from another world was really a huge hassle!

Back in the old days, it was easy to casually bring someone over from Earth, but now, because so many gods from different realms were pulling people from Earth, the gods of Earth had clamped down hard on regulation.

Especially with the Japanese. They were talented, but bringing someone over from Japan was the most difficult of all. You had to file an application, go through several rounds of screening, and finally get the signature of Amaterasu-sama or Buddha-sama or someone from the Supreme Divine Government of Earth before you were allowed to transfer anyone…

There was no way we could summon people over as easily as we used to do! To think that after all that effort, the person I managed to transfer got killed…

Idiot! A bunch of hopeless idiots! If I let this end in tragedy, it would cause a major dispute among the gods.

That was why… I decided to grant his final wish as he was dying. He had never been lucky with the opposite sex—neither in his previous life nor in this world. His wish was “to experience connection with the opposite sex.” Since he was already dead, the only option was to return him to Earth…

Haaah… My head hurts just from thinking about it.

The merit of “defeating the Demon Lord and saving the world” and the atonement “for the sin of being killed by one of my own followers who is like a child to me” were combined together. I had to balance that out by sending him to a world where he could be truly happy.

There was no other way. With his powers as a hero intact, I searched for a world that matched what he might wish for. And so, the result of my goddess-level, dark-circle-inducing research was…A future version of Earth, where the gender ratio was extremely skewed.

With that, his wish would surely come true. I erased Ceres’s painful memories and decided to send him to that alternate world. I switched him to replace a human who had experienced failure in the cold sleep system. That should be good enough, right?

◆◆◆

“Hehehe, do you think this will be enough to earn forgiveness? Hehehe…”

I was scared. No, I was downright terrified. All I could do was laugh it off. I had come to submit my report, but the gods of Earth were glaring daggers at me. I was truly frightened… My body was trembling.

“Well, let’s forgive the summoning this time. However, the problem is the punishment for the two who killed the summoning target out of their own selfish desires. What do you plan to do about that?”

“That is indeed the biggest issue.”

When I came to report to the two Earth deities about Ceres, they asked about the punishment for his killers. Their tone was calm, but they were clearly angry. You could see the veins bulging on both Buddha-sama’s and Amaterasu-sama’s foreheads.

“My world doesn’t have hell. After death, souls wait for a while before they reincarnate. I can’t punish them right now, but I decided to reincarnate them not as humans, but as cicadas. Would that be acceptable?”

What do they think? Ah, their expressions softened a little.

“Well, they did kill an innocent hero that you had summoned. That level of punishment is only fitting.”

“We’ve heard that gods from other worlds are soft, but this seems fitting for the crime. We recognize your sincerity. We’ll let this incident go.”

“Thank you very much.”

I was so relieved that the conversation had ended peacefully…

The gods of Earth are scary when they’re angry. As a monotheistic goddess, I’m all alone. I have no allies… So when they gang up on me and scold me like this, all I can do is endure it…

Chapter 9: At the Large Communal Bath

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

According to Cecilia-sensei, “Sex is a virtue” seemed to be the mindset of this world and making babies was apparently the top priority. Most men seemed to dislike women, but I didn’t.

Something is wrong.

But no matter how much I racked my brain over it, I couldn’t figure anything out. Hence, I decided to stop dwelling on my memory and my confusion.

◆◆◆

The student dorms had unit bathrooms. But there was also a large communal bath. I figured the big bath would feel better, so I came here. After rinsing off, I soaked in the tub.

“Phew~ A bath after sweating feels so good~”

Since I came straight here after LLS, it seemed no other students were around yet. Tomorrow was Saturday, so maybe I’d go somewhere since I had no classes.

“Hm?”

Through the frosted glass, I saw the silhouette of a girl. Someone came in. It was a girl with semi-short black hair and a very small chest.

Right, this school accepted students from age eight, didn’t it? Judging by her height, she was probably in upper elementary school. But from what I’d seen, this school only had beautiful girls.

I wasn’t the type to look at an elementary schooler that way, but this girl was super cute. She sat on a stool, lathering a towel with soap. She was glancing at me now and then.

When our eyes met, she quickly looked away. After washing, she walked over and slipped into the tub. For some reason, it felt like she was glaring at me.

Hm? Come to think of it, this school is divided into elementary, middle, and high school sections.

This was the first time I’d seen a kid who looked like an elementary schooler. Maybe the areas were separate, but students could move freely between them?

“Ceres-oniichan, since I won’t do anything naughty, can we talk?”

She spoke to me while glaring.

“Eh? You know who I am?”

“Yeah, Ceres-oniichan, you’re famous.”

“I don’t mind…But don’t you dislike me? I mean, you were glaring…”

“I don’t dislike you! I was glaring because my eyesight is bad, so I have to squint. And you don’t have to be so nervous. I haven’t had my period yet, so I don’t have the right to have sex. I won’t do anything naughty, so relax… I’ll come over there, okay?”

“O-Okay.”

Who would’ve thought an elementary student could talk like this… This was really… No. I had already decided not to think about it.

“But, Ceres-oniichan, you’re amazing. You’re the first boy I’ve seen in the big bath.”

“Really?”

“Yeah! Normal boys are too scared to come here. Even with legal protections, being in a bath with naked girls is scary, right?”

Apparently, that was how it was. On the other hand, I wanted to look at naked girls if I had the chance. 

“Speaking of which, you’re the first elementary schooler I’ve seen. Why’d you come to the high school area?”

“Um, I’m 10 years old, but I’m a second-year in the high school section!”

“10 years old and a second-year in high school!?”

“Pretty amazing, right? I skipped grades! I’m working hard to become a senior official in the future.”

“That’s impressive.”

“Yup, pretty cool, right? So, Oniichan… I won’t force you if you don’t want to, but… Could you give me a hug?”

She looked up at me with puppy eyes.

Well, that much should be fine… Even if she’s naked.

I gently hugged the girl and kissed her forehead.

“Ceres-oniichan! Ehehe, thank you! I’m getting dizzy from the heat, so I’m gonna get out.”

Holding her nose for some reason, the girl left the bath.

Thud thud thud.

I heard a lot of footsteps.

“So, about today’s class…”

“Ceres wasn’t there. I wonder what happened?”

“Normal boys have weak bodies, so…”

The door slid open, and six girls walked in. This time, they were definitely around my age.

“Oh!”

I let out a weird noise. Unlike in PE, these girls were completely naked, carrying only towels as they entered the bath. And that girl with the big chest was among them.

“Oh! It’s Ceres!!”

“““““Kyaaa, it really is!!”””””

Their squeals made me feel like some kind of idol. Noticing me, they rinsed off and all got into the tub. Three soaked in the water, while the other three sat on the edge.

“Normally, guys don’t come to the big bath.”

“As expected of Ceres.”

I kinda knew that already…

“Really…? I didn’t know.”

I pretended not to know.

“So, speaking of…”

The beautiful girl with the big chest started talking.

“That thing the other day was such a close call.”

“Eh, what happened?”

Her chest, her crotch, everything was in full view and the three sitting on the edge weren’t even closing their legs, so everything was in plain sight. 

“When we kissed, you got hard right away, and when I touched it…”

This is too much…

I was doing my best to hide my flushed face and heavy breathing.

“Ceres-kun.”

“Y-Yes!”

“So, how was LLS?”

“We were worried since your class went into overtime.”

This is bad. I’m already in a tough spot, and now I’m remembering what happened with Cecilia-sensei…

“Uh… Well…”

“Are you okay? Oh! Your nose is bleeding!”

The girl with shaggy black hair came closer.

“Oh!”

Her hand brushed my crotch, noticing I was hard.

“Is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing… Ceres-kun, I’ll wipe your nose for you.”

As she wiped my nose, her palm-sized chest was right in front of me, and her thigh touched mine in the water, making me even more excited.

“Ceres-kun, you must be feeling dizzy to the point you can’t walk, right?”

She whispered into my ear.

“Um…”

“I’ll make you feel good… So let’s keep this between us.”

“Yeah…”

And right when I responded…

“Ceres-kun is feeling dizzy!”

She announced while covering my crotch with a towel. She then picked me up in a princess carry and ran off. 

◆◆◆

Still carrying me like a princess, she rushed into the bathroom next to the bath.  She sat me down and locked the door behind her. Her face looked tense. She seemed really nervous.

“Alright, stay still!”

“Eh…?”

“Quiet… If you make a sound, the other girls will find us…”

With that, she straddled me and lowered herself onto me.

“Hau…”

Maybe from surprise or pain, she let out a strange noise. A hint of discomfort could be seen on her face, but she kept moving her hips. 

◆◆◆

Perhaps tired from using her hips so much, she was now limp. She was clinging to me. 

“Thank you, that felt good…”

“Haa, haa… I’m glad to hear that…”

She looked at me with satisfaction, drooling slightly.

“As a thank you, I left it inside.”

When I said that, she reached down to check and after confirming it..

“Ceres-kun, you’re the best!”

She gave me a quick kiss and left. She ran off naked with a smile, but I had to return to the bath naked too and that was kind of embarrassing.
