"…So, what are your plans from here, Yuki-san?"
"From here…?"
In response to her question, I pondered its meaning.
Until yesterday, I had been a homeless freeter, with no fixed address, sleeping in internet cafes or parks. Coming to this world, where the gender ratio was skewed at 1:1000, didn't automatically mean I had a home, and even if I did, I wouldn't know where it was.
I had just lost my part-time job the day before yesterday, and despite having an interview scheduled for yesterday, I had ended up at a hotel room with Shizuki-san, thus technically still jobless.
However, in this world where the gender ratio was 1:1000, it was Shizuki-san herself who approached me, someone who wasn't particularly handsome or rich, which made me speculate about the possibility of manipulating the skewed gender dynamics. If the internet articles I read were true and male population was scarce and sperm was valuable in this world, I could potentially ask a cute girl to let me stay the night in exchange for sex. It sounded audacious, but given the circumstances, I wouldn't mind trying it out.
Although, it's a conversation I would hesitate to have with Shizuki-san, who I had just been intimate with.
"Well, I'll just live my life as I see fit."
"I see… So, um, I hope this isn't too difficult to ask, but about the 500,000 yen… Could you give me a little more time?"
Ah, that's right. Shizuki-san initially propositioned me with "How about 300,000 yen?" But somehow, that figure had jumped to 500,000 yen. I can't really make sense of it, but truth be told, I'm quite desperate for money, and I'd gladly take 500,000 yen even if I had to lick someone's shoes. However, considering the fact that Shizuki-san, a beautiful woman, had taken my virginity and treated me to a lavish buffet in a nice hotel, I couldn't help but feel guilty for benefiting so much from her.
Honestly, even if she told me now that she wouldn't give it to me, I wouldn't feel upset about it.
If she gives it, great. Well, I would appreciate it.
"Um, well. I mean, you can't just trust me with words alone, right? So, um, until I can properly pay the 500,000 yen, could you hold onto this?"
Saying that, Shizuki-san handed me a blue plastic card… her health insurance card.
I felt a jolt as I was handed something I had been strictly cautioned never to lend or lose. I think this thing could be used for loans and stuff, right? Well, I'm not planning to exploit a stranger's health insurance card like that. I swallowed hard, downing the roast beef and expensive-looking leafy vegetables that were in my mouth. I nearly choked and Shizuki-san quickly poured me some equally fancy grape juice.
"Is, is that okay?"
"Of course! You're the one who's given me your seed, and… you're also the one who took my virginity."
Blushing, Shizuki-san muttered shyly.
Given the context of the gender ratio and Shizuki-san's reactions, I had suspected as much, but hearing it confirmed made me strangely happy.
So, in this world, even someone as beautiful as Shizuki-san can still be a virgin.
…This world really does resemble an erotic manga.
As I thought this, I accepted the insurance card from her and stashed it in my shabby leather wallet. Even though there's barely any money in it, I won't be able to lose it until I return it to Shizuki-san. I sighed, feeling a bit restless. If she tells me she can't pay it, maybe I'll use this card to play around with a line like, "Hehe. If you can't pay with money, then pay with your body." Just a bit of idle daydreaming.
Well, in this world, with the shortage of men and preciousness of sperm, even if I were to threaten or violate Shizuki-san, it doesn't seem like she would feel humiliated. It would likely turn into an entirely self-indulgent role play based solely on my whims.
"Well, um… If you're giving me the money, I'd be really happy, but having sex with Shizuki-san was incredibly pleasurable and I was happy too. If it seems difficult for you, you don't have to pay, okay?"
"No! I absolutely insist on paying!!"
As I said this, Shizuki-san responded emphatically.
There's a certain vibe about her now that makes me feel she'd be willing to do anything for my sake. If I can't find a place to sleep tonight, maybe I'll try reaching out to her to see if she'd let me stay at her place.
…I feel like my thought process is becoming a bit sleazy.
Oh well. While talking about this and that, I emptied my plate, went back for seconds a few times, and then realized that I wouldn't feel truly full with just protein and vegetables. So, I ended up devouring the cakes and puddings and various sweets that were laid out. Finally, I felt full, something that hadn't happened in about two years.
"Yuki-san, you had quite the appetite."
"It was delicious. Thank you for the meal."
"Oh no, with the way you ate so much, does that mean you have a lot of vitality too?"
…I only ate a lot because I'm frugal and I was hungry.
Seeing that Shizuki-san was also full, she decided to leave.
"Thank you very much, Yuki-san… for accepting my advances so enthusiastically last night. I had thought I might be a virgin for life."
"No, thank you. I should be the one thanking you. I could have very well remained a virgin for life too."
Shizuki-san and I exchanged a few more bows, a practice that hadn't changed much even in this 1:1000 gender ratio world.
"I'll be sure to get in touch."
"Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Shizuki-san."
If I don't have money, it could be a punishment roleplay. When I do get paid… right, I'd probably just ask for a titjob and blowjob like last night and would want to experience it again.
Speaking those words with absolute sincerity, my actions matched my intent as I leaned in and kissed her.
Shizuki-san's eyes widened in surprise, and she blinked rapidly. Her face turned as red as a boiled octopus. Wait, did I just cross a line?
…In my previous world, I was a virgin, so I honestly don't understand the intricacies of male-female dynamics.
I'm starting to feel embarrassed too.
"Well, then!"
I waved to Shizuki-san and ran off towards the city.
With her face slightly lowered, Shizuki-san waved back, seeing me off modestly. She's cute until the very end.
…Honestly, if I could have sex the day after ejaculating inside her, I'd want to be with her and indulge in a lovey-dovey, lewd life forever.
However, in this world where the gender ratio is 1:1000 and women's sexual desire isn't built for daily activity, I have a strong sexual drive that doesn't settle unless I ejaculate three times a day.
Although I'd appreciate a titjob, blowjob, or even a thigh job to help me relieve my urges, sex is still important to me. However, it seems acts like titjobs and blowjobs are legally regulated in this world.
If you ask whether women's uteruses remain open for consecutive daily sex without ejaculation, I wouldn't know.
One thing is clear though – the concept of contraception doesn't seem to exist in this world.
After parting ways with Shizuki-san and while hoping for another chance at an encounter like last night, I searched on my smartphone at the station. Terms like 'contraceptive devices' or 'condoms' didn't yield any search results.
Well, I guess it makes sense not to use a condom to trap ejaculate that only happens once a month in this world.
So, if I want to properly satisfy my sexual desires in this world, I'll have to either masturbate like a monkey or sleep with different girls every day. Preferably the latter.
After all, every man wants to have sex with girls.
And in this world, with the scarcity of men and their limited sexual prowess, I, who isn't particularly handsome or well-off, should be able to sleep with girls as beautiful as Shizuki-san who approaches me directly. The likelihood of girls responding positively to my advances is… much higher than in the world I knew until yesterday.
Moreover, I still don't have a job, money, or a place to stay, just like yesterday. If there's a dreamlike scenario where I can have sex with a beautiful woman, get paid and have a place to stay along with meals provided – there was no choice but for me to take it.
Prostitution. I've felt sorry for girls who have to sell their bodies because they're struggling with money or their livelihoods. But when you're in the opposite position, it's an overwhelmingly amazing proposition.
While considering who I want to have sex with, I scan the girls walking around the station.
Among them, I spot a particularly standout beauty.
The girl has a silvery, mysterious hair color with a faint bluish tint, and her skin is as pale as if it's translucent. Her breasts are not large and she's short in stature, but her overall proportions resemble a masterpiece crafted by a deity. Her appearance is exquisitely beautiful, akin to that of a fairy.
Her beauty is so striking that despite the fact that there are only women around the station, I can't help but turn my head each time she passes by.
In the past, if it were a time before yesterday, just getting close to her would probably have gotten me punched by some intimidating guys in suits.
But in this world where the gender ratio is 1:1000 and women are the rarity – I, with newfound confidence, approached the fairy-like beautiful girl with eagerness.
