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 31

“N-no, why…”

“It took a lot of effort to find you, Kazuki.”

Standing before me is the Pope.

I had been facing Ceres, but in an instant, the scene shifted, and now…the Pope’s face was right in front of me.

(Is this…a dream? No…)

I’m surprised…but panicking here won’t help.

“Why am I here?”

I asked calmly, trying not to lose my composure.

The Pope, still wearing his unsettling smile, approached with his arms spread wide.

“We had a magic item that can retrieve men who possess god-like power. It can only be used once, but as you can see, it brought you back safely.”

From his words, I understood. I must be the man they were talking about in the report. Honestly, I wasn’t interested, and I was shocked, but I had no desire to talk to him.

“So, you brought me back…Is this the city where only men live?”

“That’s correct. This is where you belong—Origin City. It’s late now, so let’s continue this tomorrow. For now, you should rest…”

As the Pope came closer, he suddenly stepped back.

His expression twisted, and he pinched his nose, clearly reacting as though he’d smelled something foul.

(It’s like he just smelled something terrible.)

Does that mean I smell like something gross?

That’s what I thought, but it seems I wasn’t completely wrong.

“This is the smell of a woman…!? Disgusting…How dare you carry the stench of a woman on your body…Unless you were forced upon?”

“Don’t make assumptions.”

“What?”

Normally, I’d be polite to someone older than me.

But being dragged back here against my will, only to be treated like some kind of puppet, was too much to tolerate.

“I left this city of my own will. I like women—and I’ve found someone I love deeply.”

“………”

The Pope’s expression gradually became blank.

I wasn’t scared by this at all, but I was starting to feel anxious about how to get back to Ceres and the others.

“I don’t care about some god-like power. I just want to go back to where I’m needed.”

“You are a fool.”

The Pope said, sounding deeply disappointed.

“Have you been poisoned by women? Women are unnecessary for our lives.”

“I don’t think so. Their kindness and warmth give me comfort and happiness…I care for them so much that I want to return those feelings. They are indispensable to me.”

“It seems we won’t agree. Get some sleep for now. We’ll talk more tomorrow.”

Just like the Pope said, it didn’t seem like anything more could be said.

That night, I was led to a room unlike any I had used before in this city, and once alone, I let out a deep sigh.

“…Ceres.”

It wasn’t just Ceres who came to mind.

It was likely because she was the last person I had been with before being sent here, but just saying her name brought Nia and Melt to mind as well.

“I never thought I’d come back here.”

I swore I’d never return. No, I had firmly decided I would never come back.

There’s no reason for me to be here, and there’s not a single person I want to see.

“After I finally told her how I felt…”

I told Ceres I loved her.

It hadn’t been long since we met, but the time I spent with her was intense.

At first, I just wanted to be pampered by women in this world.

Romance wasn’t a priority. I just wanted to live in luxury, surrounded by women who respected men.

“I want to do naughty things…with Ceres…surrounded by all of them, living in blissful days…But more than that, just being with them makes me happy.”

Sitting on the bed, hugging my knees, I lowered my head.

I’m anxious about what will happen next, but if I’m being honest, I’m not in despair.

I’m not the type to give up easily, and I’m definitely not giving up before having sex.

“Right…Am I supposed to live here as a virgin? No way! If they think I’ll be satisfied with just lips and breasts…I mean, I could be…but still!! I’m going to escape from here and have sex with Ceres and the others!”

But then, I thought for a moment.

The skill within me is what caused this situation, but I have no intention of giving it up.

So, I’ll either make the Pope completely give up on me or defeat him thoroughly.

“But…I can’t do it alone, can I?”

The room was already locked, leaving me unable to act.

If only there was a way to let Ceres know I’m okay…I can’t stop thinking about how worried she must be, especially since she told me she didn’t know what would happen without me. I have to get back to her as soon as possible.

“Just wait, Pope…”

I lifted my head.

The face reflected in the mirror was filled with determination—determination to make the Pope regret it. But just making him regret wasn’t enough. I wasn’t into violence…So what could I do?

“If Ceres would forgive me…I could show everyone how much I love her and the others with a public…display of affection…That would probably hurt him a lot, right?”

I chuckled at the thought, realizing it wasn’t completely out of the question.

***

On the rooftop of the castle where Ceres lived, the beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes—Ceres.

“Kazuki is there.”

She felt as if she heard Kazuki’s voice.

By focusing on him, she could sense where he was, no matter where in this world.

When Kazuki disappeared, she panicked at first, but as soon as she thought of saving him, she calmed down.

“Lady Ceres.”

“We found him too. It’s probably the same place, right?”

Nia and Melt, standing behind her, spoke, and Ceres nodded.

“We’ll move tomorrow, but for some reason…Even though it should be impossible to enter that city, I feel like it will be okay. My connection with Kazuki makes me feel that way.”

“Heh, indeed.”

“Right! Well, let’s teach them a lesson. No matter if they’re men, we can’t allow them to take something precious from us.”

“Exactly.”

Thus, the women, too, began to make their move.

It was the night before the world’s revolution.
