When I Met a Woman in a Harsh World Where Chastity Is Reversed, She Became a Yandere and Started Worshipping Me Like a God for Some Reason - Chapter 13

I told Ceres and Nia everything about Melt coming to my room and the conversation we had.

Both of them were deeply surprised, but when I explained that we had established a friendly relationship, they both let out a sigh of relief.

Ceres said, “As expected of Melt-sama.”

Nia added, “Yes, this castle is surrounded by barrier magic, but of course, she’d be able to slip through it.”

Indeed, Melt had entered the room without making a sound. The fact that she could bypass the enhanced barrier that had been strengthened since my arrival meant that Melt was an exceptionally skilled elf. Although we were surprised, having her as an ally was incredibly reassuring.

“Well, shall we call for Melt…? No, I suppose that’s not necessary.”

“Huh?”

What could she mean by that? Just as I was about to ask, part of the wall in the room distorted, and Melt, who I had just said goodbye to last night, smoothly appeared.

“Oh, Melt-san!”

“Yo! I had a feeling I was going to be called, so I came ahead of time! But more than anything, I just wanted to see Kazuki-san!”

As usual, her hair was a mess, and there were dark circles under her eyes…but her words, spoken with a smile, made me incredibly happy. Her bouncing chest was still just as impressive, making this room feel like a space filled with six large watermelons.

“I understand your feelings of wanting to see Kazuki-san, but as the queen, I do need to scold you for your actions last night, Melt.”

“Ceres, that’s—”

I was about to say there was no need for her to get angry, but I stopped myself. Of course, I liked Melt, and because we had formed a friendly relationship, I wanted to say there was no need to be angry…but if Ceres, as the queen, felt the need to speak to her, it didn’t seem right for me to interfere emotionally. So, I quietly stepped back and stood beside Nia.

“Hehe, it’s alright, Kazuki-sama.”

Nia chuckled softly as she moved behind me, placing her hands on my shoulders and pressing her body against mine. Feeling the overwhelming softness against my back distracted me, but I still watched Ceres and Melt’s interaction.

“It seems you’ve reflected on your actions, haven’t you?”

“Yes, I’m truly sorry.”

Just like when she apologized to me yesterday, Melt lowered her head. Seeing that, Ceres gasped, then glanced at me with a look of understanding.

“For Melt to apologize so sincerely…and even use polite language, I’m amazed. But I suppose that shows how much Kazuki-san means to you.”

“Yes…Kazuki-san has captured my heart.”

“Alright then. From now on, just like Nia and me, I want you to protect Kazuki-san.”

“Understood.”

Melt placed her hand on her chest and lowered her head to Ceres again, like a knight swearing an oath. After that, Melt said she couldn’t leave her shop unattended and returned home, but she promised that from now on, she would come whenever I called for her.

“Elves…they’re really good people, aren’t they?”

“Not all of them, but you can trust me, Nia, and Melt from the bottom of your heart.”

“Yes! I already trust you completely!”

I said that clearly. Seeing Ceres and Nia smile shyly made me certain that my words made them happy. No matter what happens, I can’t stop trying to raise their affection…I want them to like me even more!

“Kazuki-sama’s words really do make us women feel happy.”

“As a maid, it feels almost too luxurious to hear such things from you.”

“What are you talking about? To me, this is normal. The more I get to know you and Nia, the more I realize how wonderful you are. That’s why I’m not satisfied yet…I want to know more about you.”

“!!”

“~~~~!!”

The way their bodies trembled was adorable…but I was blushing just as much. I might have gotten a bit carried away and said something embarrassing, and thinking about that made me even more embarrassed.

“It’s getting a little…hot in here.”

“I’ll go get some cold drinks…I’m feeling hot as well.”

I might have been feeling a little hot too. After Nia left the room, it was just Ceres and me…I didn’t intend for this to happen, but since she was the queen of a kingdom, this seemed like a good opportunity to say what I needed to.

“Ceres.”

“What is it?”

“…I’ve been thinking about something.”

What I talked about was the current method of making children. It was incredibly embarrassing to talk about, and there were definitely ulterior motives, but I also wanted to help.

“It’s true that not only us elves, but also non-humans, experience great physical burdens when it comes to having children. But if Kazuki-san is willing to provide his seed, many races could be saved.”

Yes…that’s what I proposed. Human women have to bow their heads to men just to have children, and with no non-human men around, non-human women have no choice but to rely on magic. If I could lighten that burden, even a little…that was the thought behind my words, and Ceres began to cry.

“Ceres!?”

“Why…are you so kind?”

“…Am I kind? I just…want to do this…Maybe it’s a bit arrogant of me, but I want to help.”

“It’s not arrogance at all…Ah, after all, you’re like a god to us…No, those beings who give us neither blessings nor salvation are not gods at all.”

Ceres took my hand as if handling a precious treasure.

“You are…our god.”

“Um…Could you please stop calling me a god…? I’m just an ordinary human. Besides, it would be disrespectful to call someone like me a god! Gods wouldn’t get all excited about beautiful women like you, Ceres!”

“…That’s exactly why you are our god, Kazuki-san.”

No, no, a god who gets excited about women is the worst kind of god…But even if I were a god, I’d still get excited—because I’m surrounded by such beautiful women. Anyway, I asked her to forget about the God thing, and we went back to discussing our ideas. Although my proposal could save many races, it wouldn’t be easy to implement right away.

“Other races would be just as moved by your suggestion as we were, Kazuki-san…and it could even lead to conflicts. I mentioned the Dark Elves before, and it really is a complicated issue.”

“………”

“And…I wonder if the other men will stay silent. To them, we’re insignificant…Even seeing us living peacefully fills them with disgust.”

…I had anticipated this, but the obstacles were many. Wait, did she just refer to men as if they’re not even human?

“Still, thank you, Kazuki-san. I’ll discuss your proposal with Nia and Melt and see what we can do…Though, I had already been thinking about something similar.”

“Really?”

“Yes—With us by your side, it might be worth it to reveal your existence more publicly. As I said before, it’s a difficult issue, so we’d have to be careful, but I want people to know how kind you are to women.”

I wonder if that kind of future will really come. Hearing what she said just now made it seem like a distant hope…And if that happens, I might really start feeling like a god, just like Ceres said.

“…Well, I’m curious to see how people react. Especially the men in that town.”

“Hehe, I feel the same.”

“Those men are satisfied with their narrow lives…Even if that’s normal, I want to show them—Show them me, happily surrounded by you, Ceres!”

There’s no way our values will ever align…but I am a bit curious to see what will happen. Ceres laughed as she watched me clench my fist, but I never knew that she whispered something under her breath at that moment.

“Kazuki’s seed…No, it must be mine…! If it comes to that…I’ll be the one to handle it all! That’s the duty of a queen…!!”

By the way, providing sperm is done through magic in this world, so by the time it’s used, the DNA and other biological material change completely, meaning there’s no blood relation between the child and Kazuki.
