The World Becomes a World Where Chastity Is Reversed?! - 2

Chapter 2: Upon Arrival at Haneda Airport

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After a while following the landing announcement on the plane, the aircraft I had been on safely arrived at Haneda Airport. So I immediately retrieved my luggage, got off the plane, and made my way to the arrival lobby.

“Finally made it to Haneda Airport safely. Still, Haneda really feels crowded and like a big city… fuaaah…”

As I looked around after stepping into the arrival lobby, I suddenly let out another big yawn. 

Hmm, I must really be tired.

I had been sitting on the plane sleeping the whole time, and my entire body was stiff and sore. So I decided to rest a bit before heading to the house where I would be living. With that in mind, I stopped by a vending machine I found in the airport and bought a juice. I was about to lean against the machine and drink it when…

“All right, I got my juice, so just a little rest—huh?”

Jiiiiiiii~

At that moment, I felt something off. It seemed like someone was staring at me intently. So I paused my sip and looked around, scanning the area. I noticed several women walking through the airport who kept glancing at me. But more than that…

W-wait a second… I mean… Isn’t there way too many women here?

I hadn’t noticed at first, but as I looked more carefully, almost everyone walking around the airport was female. The ratio seemed roughly one or two men for every eight or nine women.

Hmm, maybe there’s some kind of women-targeted event nearby?

Perhaps a male idol appearance, or a product launch for women’s bags or accessories. Well, if it was a women-focused event, that ratio would make sense. And if such an event were happening nearby, it wouldn’t be strange for women around me to look at a man like me with curiosity.

Better not stay in the airport too long and bother the women, I should just drink my juice quickly and head to my new home.

Also, being stared at by so many women was incredibly embarrassing for a high school boy. So I quickly started drinking the juice I just bought to get out of the airport. But then…

『…Next up, the news.』

“Gulp, gulp… huh?”

While I was thinking about that, suddenly a voice came from above. I looked up and saw a huge monitor. On it, a lunchtime news program was being broadcast.

Ah, maybe they’ll show today’s weather in Tokyo too…

I wanted to know in advance if it might rain before I got to my new home, so I watched the news while sipping my juice.

『…Over half a century has passed since an unprecedented global crisis occurred, drastically reducing the male birth rate…』

“Gulp, gulp… huh? The male birth rate drastically dropped? Wh-what’s that about?”

The news was so strange that I couldn’t help staring blankly. I had never heard anything like that before. 

Isn’t the birth ratio usually about half and half?

『…As a result, the number of people able to marry drastically decreased, and the birth rate fell sharply as well.』

“Uh… Well, of course, if the gender ratio is that skewed, that would happen, right?”

I commented dryly on the TV news while drinking my juice, though my mind was full of question marks. I had never heard such weird news before.

『…However, today the government announced that the marriage and birth rates have finally started to trend upward.』

“…Huh? How can the marriage and birth rates increase if the gender ratio is so skewed?”

『The reason for the upward trend is reportedly because the government introduced polygamy twenty years ago and promoted marriage support programs, which finally led to an increase in marriage and birth rates.』

“Eh… Wh-what!? Polygamy!? I-I didn’t even know such a system existed!?”

『So, with this upward trend, we hope marriage and birth rates will continue to rise even further. Now, onto the next news item…』

The news segment I didn’t understand ended there. But I immediately understood something from what had been said.

Wait a second!? I know this kind of world from games and manga!

If the news was correct, the gender ratio in this world was extremely skewed. So the reason there were so many women in the airport wasn’t because of a nearby event… It was normal in this world.Which meant this world was… Exactly like that world…

In other words… This world is the famous “chastity-reversed World”!

I realized it immediately. This world was a “chastity-reversed” world, the kind often seen in manga and eroge, where the gender ratio was distorted.
