The World Becomes a World Where Chastity Is Reversed?! - 7

Chapter 7: Hearing Narumi-neesan Talk About This World

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After having that friendly exchange with Narumi-neesan, she suddenly looked startled and said to me.

“Ah, right. I completely forgot—Haru-kun, why did you come to my apartment? Did you come to give me a greeting for your move, by any chance?”

“Ah, yeah. The greeting’s part of it, but the main reason is different. Actually, there’s something I want to ask you… Is it okay if I ask about that?”

“Something you want to ask? Sure, no problem! Ask me anything I can answer!”

“Thanks, Narumi-neesan. Then, I want to confirm something again. In this world, there aren’t many men, right?”

“Huh? Yeah, that’s right. According to government statistics last year, the male-to-female ratio was reported in the news as about 1–2 men to every 8–9 women.”

“I see, I see. Hmm…By the way, this might be a really weird question, but… since I’m a guy, is there any chance we could be taken to some kind of research facility or something?”

“R-research facility? W-what do you mean by that?”

“Well, I mean… You see, if there aren’t many men…Naturally, reproduction would be limited, right? So, I was wondering if men might be taken to a place like a research facility and be forced to make children endlessly… You know, that kind of thing?”

I was asking about that because in many manga or games with skewed gender ratios and reversed chastity worlds, those kinds of… Er, facilities often existed.

Of course, I’m a normal adolescent guy, so I’m naturally curious about sexual things… But still, if I were going to do something sexual, I feel it should be in a proper relationship; otherwise, it feels dishonest. So, if there was a world with some hentai-manga-style facility like that, I wouldn’t like it, which is why I asked her.

She listened to me and gave me a blank look before replying.

“…? No, there’s nothing like that kind of strange research facility. I mean, if the government made a law to forcibly take men to research facilities for reproduction and commit rape-like acts, there’d be massive riots all over the world. Think about it. Such a thing would violate human rights and cause chaos everywhere.”

“Oh… Right. Yeah, that makes sense. Normally, that wouldn’t happen.”

So it seems this world isn’t like those hentai-manga worlds where men are endlessly forced to procreate. As an adolescent boy, that’s a little disappointing, but at least it’s reassuring that the world’s social norms are similar to the real world.

“Yeah, that’s right. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. But in place of that, there might be something like a polygamy system, though.”

“Huh… Oh, right. That system does exist, doesn’t it?”

I realized there was one major difference from the real world. I’d seen news about it earlier.

“So, in this world, do all the men use the polygamy system? Do they all have harems?”

“No, not really. This is an age of diversity, so some boys choose not to have a partner or don’t want one at all. And because the system respects personal choice, that’s why polygamy was introduced.”

“Oh, I see. I thought maybe everyone just naturally got married and had kids, but that’s not really the case, huh?”

“Yeah, not at all. Nowadays, lots of people don’t want marriage or kids, and forcing them would violate human rights. So polygamy exists for those who want to get married or have children. It’s for people who are willing to take on that responsibility.”

“I see. So being a man doesn’t mean you’re treated specially or made into some research subject.”

“Of course not. Well, there are places where men get priority sometimes, like men-only train cars, but in daily life, things are basically equal between men and women.”

From what I heard from Narumi-neesan, this world was basically like the real world except for the skewed gender ratio and polygamy system.

“Ah, but one thing. There are some women who do ‘Mama-katsu’ just to get a young, rare boy’s body, so don’t get close to those weirdos. If you need money, I’ll give it to you properly, so you mustn’t sell your body for money either!”

“Uh, yeah… Of course.”

So, this is indeed a chastity-reversed world where women’s sexual desire is extremely strong. 

Nee-san had said women here are like wolves with massive sexual drive. She gave me strict warnings, but I reassured her I had no intention of doing Mama-katsu or anything like that. Like I said before, I didn’t want to act in a way that’s dishonest. So I had no interest in being some convenient “erotic boy” in this world. Although… I wouldn’t mind if a few accidental, lucky perverted moments happened.

“Oh, by the way, what about you, Nee-san? Do you think about marriage or having a boyfriend? You’re a working adult now. Wouldn’t it be time to think about starting a family?”

“Huh!? N-no, I… I can’t have a boyfriend or anything. I’ve been so busy with work, and on my days off, I just sleep all day. I never meet men, and I might stay single my whole life… Ahaha…”

I asked her casually, but immediately the mood turned extremely gloomy.

W-what is this atmosphere!? Compared to before, Nee-san seems so self-deprecating now, I’m really worried…

So I decided to encourage the dejected Narumi-neesan and cheer her up.

“N-no, don’t say such lonely things. You know, nowadays there are things like mixers or dating apps, right? You could probably meet someone pretty easily using those.”

“Yeah, there are plenty of those now… But who would like a woman with messy hair and such a terrible appearance? And I spend all weekdays being a work slave, never going out, staying home masturbating like a complete shut-in… Ahaha… Haa…”

“N-no, that’s not true! Sure, your hair is messy now and your clothes are shabby, but Nee-san, you’re the most beautiful person I know!”

“Huh? H-Haru-kun?”

“And Nee-san, you’ve always been bright and kind, smart and capable too, right? A beautiful Nee-san who’s kind, bright, and intelligent… Of course someone like you’d only be admired by men in the world!”

“Huh!? H-Haru-kun!? W-what are you saying all of a sudden…?”

“So don’t say such self-deprecating things! Believe in yourself more! Nee-san, you’re bright, kind, beautiful, and amazing! If someone like you went to a mixer, I’d go up to you right away! You’re that wonderful and beautiful—”

“O-okay, okay! I get it! Stop saying such embarrassing things—please!!”

I praised her repeatedly to restore her confidence. Nee-san’s face turned bright red as she tried to stop me. Then she said in a slightly sulky but still blushing voice.

“Haah… haah… Really… Don’t tease your Nee-san like that, okay? Haa, haa… But… Thank you. Hearing such things from you… It really made me happy.”

“I see. Well, I wasn’t trying to tease you at all, but if it made you happy, then I’m happy too.”

“Y-yeah… Thanks, Haru-kun.”’

Nee-san smiled gently at me, still blushing. Today she seemed so self-deprecating, I was really worried, but by the end she showed the warm smile I remembered from before.

Anyway, I’m really glad I got to see her smile again.

Thanks to talking with Nee-san, I fully understood that this world was indeed a chastity-reversed world. I learned about the gender ratio, polygamy, and other details. From what she told me, life here was largely similar to the real world, which was a relief. And after summer vacation, my new life at a Tokyo high school would begin. I had somehow been transported to a chastity-reversed world,  but I decided there was no need to be pessimistic and that I would enjoy school life from now on!
