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 3

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere was heavy… or rather, dead.

It was after being restrained by a woman from behind and having my face seen by Ceres, who is said to be the Elf Queen.

The reason there wasn’t much commotion was that only Ceres saw my face, and I was quickly taken inside a building by her.

“We only need to be here—make sure no one else comes in.”

Ceres, who firmly said this, looked very cool.

She looked like a ridiculously sexy elf… or rather, an erotic elf, but seeing her up close only highlighted her beauty even more.

After a while of silently staring at each other, Ceres finally spoke.

“…I apologize for suddenly bringing you to such a place. Since you’re a man, I thought it would cause a commotion if you appeared there, so I brought you here… To avoid any misunderstanding, I have no intention of being rude! I only wanted to hear your side of the story! Please believe that!”

“Ah, yes…”

She didn’t give the impression of an elf queen at all; she seemed too flustered.

But thinking from her perspective, it’s understandable… because meeting a man outside that city is almost certainly something that never happens.

I tried to resist the urge to glance at her large, swaying chest as she flustered, and lowered my head to avoid it.

“Um… since I’m a man, if I had caused a commotion there, it would have become a big deal. So I’m actually grateful—thank you.”

“…”

W-Well, there was also a sincere meaning to my gratitude!

It’s not just that I’m trying to hide my embarrassment or apology; there’s a real reason!

Now… having lowered my head like that, something seemed off.

When I lifted my face, Ceres was staring at me with her mouth slightly open, so I asked what was wrong.

“N-No… I didn’t expect a man to thank me. Men are beings to be respected… I can’t believe someone like you would thank a woman as ugly as me.”

“Ugly…?”

In this world, the extreme reversal of chastity occurs, but the sense of beauty and ugliness should not have changed… Could it be that she has come to think this way because she has been criticized or told horrible things by men too often?

“…”

In any case, this might be advantageous.

Although I feel bad for using Ceres, if she respects me as a man this much, maybe she’ll protect me if I get along well with her?

Thinking this, I decided to honestly talk about myself.

“Um… but before that, let me introduce myself. I heard your name just now, but I haven’t introduced myself.”

“Ah, yes… yes!”

“My name is Kazuki. I’m a sixteen-year-old man.”

“Sixteen years old… gulp”

Uh, Ceres, you just gulped out loud.

Indeed, sixteen is the prime age… and well, if a beautiful woman like this were to take me, it would be an honor as a man, but let’s put that aside for now.

Now, this is the crucial part!

“C-Ceres. I rule the Elf Kingdom located to the north of here, and I’m technically a queen.”

“A queen… I heard that too, but it’s amazing.”

“Well, I’m happy if I’m trusted by the other elves.”

“…”

“…”

And again, a silence fell between Ceres and me… but I mustered up the courage to continue.

“Ceres! Could you please protect me!”

“P-Protect you!?”

“I don’t have any negative feelings towards women… so I left that city where only men are present because it was suffocating!”

“Eh, really…!? Not negative feelings…!?”

“Yes! I love women!”

“You love them!?!”

Ceres has been panicking ever since.

“I had friends in that city too. But when I just said I wasn’t negative about women in response to a question about how I feel about them, I was cut off.”

“That’s…”

“There are no men who want to leave that city, and no men who want to accept women in a good way… so I’m like an outcast. They should have conveyed my situation through connections… so I have no place to return to in that city.”

“…”

Having conveyed that much, it seemed Ceres took it seriously.

Just a little more to go… I thought as I held Ceres’s hand—feeling the smoothness and being moved that this is a woman’s hand.

Whether elves are especially beautiful compared to humans or not, it was undoubtedly well-cared-for skin.

“!?”

“By bringing me here and listening to my situation… I understand that you’re a very kind person. I have no one else to rely on but you now.”

“Only me…”

“I know it’s a selfish request… but please, won’t you help me…!”

It might seem like an act, but it’s a genuine feeling.

Without much thought, Ceres enveloped my hand that she had firmly held.

“Understood. I, Ceres, the Elf Queen, will protect you.”

“Really!?”

“Yes… but are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Alright… alright!

With this, it’s decided that Ceres will protect me!

“Really… you don’t dislike it at all. I never imagined there would be such a man.”

“There is one in reality… sigh.”

“W-What’s wrong!?”

I sighed in relief and ended up crouching.

To reassure the worried and flustered Ceres, I made an effort to smile and said.

“I’m… just happy to finally meet someone I can rely on.”

This was something that didn’t exist in that city… There was no one who knew my situation and accepted me like this.

So, without any calculation or attempt to use Ceres, I was simply happy.

“…Kazuki.”

“Yes?”

“Leave it to me. In the name of the Elf Queen, I promise— I will definitely protect you.”

…It feels like I sensed something a bit heavy?

But with this, my wish to interact with women in this world is not just a step closer but many steps closer.

—

No matter if one is male or female, those judged as outcasts within a community are cast aside.

This was no exception even in the city of men only.

“Your Holiness!”

“What is it?”

“Actually… my friend… no, that person isn’t a friend anymore. That jerk Kazuki said he wants to meet women.”

“What!?! Bring him here immediately!”

Kazuki’s former friend, having exposed Kazuki’s desire to meet women, caused Kazuki to be sought after as if he were to face an inquisition.

Though Kazuki is a reincarnator and thinks them abnormal… to those with the common sense of this world, Kazuki is simply too alien.

“Kazuki is nowhere to be found?”

“Could he have gone outside…?”

“What nonsense. Even if he had such foolish thoughts as wanting to meet women, he would not think of going outside the city. Find him quickly!”

Even if Kazuki had said he wanted to meet women, they cannot get past their belief that his aversion to women would never disappear, so they can’t escape the thought that he must be hiding within the city.

If they could look into Kazuki’s mind… how would they react—surely, they would faint and foam at the mouth upon seeing his fantasies.

Thus, Kazuki succeeded in completely disappearing from the city of men.
