After ejaculating inside Shizuki-san's vagina, I found myself pondering what I would do if she became pregnant. I decided to research the likelihood of pregnancy and discovered that the male-to-female ratio in this world is 1:1000.
The sense of unease I felt when Shizuki-san approached me still lingered. Not only was I, an average guy without good looks or money, approached by an incredibly attractive woman like her, but there was an odd scarcity of men in the area. It seemed like everyone else was female except for me.
I wasn't sure why, but it appeared I had somehow ended up in a different world. Or perhaps my familiar world had undergone a drastic change, altering the male-to-female ratio to 1:1000. Either way, the fact remained that I was now in a world where men were scarce.
My mind was sharp, processing information about this unfamiliar world. I had just lost my virginity to a busty beauty like Shizuki-san and ejaculated twice. I was experiencing a newfound clarity, eager to learn about this world that was so different from the one I knew. I picked up my smartphone and began scrolling.
My first search focused on the likelihood of impregnation after ejaculating inside the vagina. I resumed reading the peculiar article I had stumbled upon earlier. The article continued with reassuring words for those who had experienced lucky encounters:
"For those fortunate women who have engaged in sex with a man, you may be worried about one thing: the possibility of pregnancy. After all, the average man ejaculates about once a month. Some even do it as rarely as once every six months.
For those in a continuous romantic relationship who have had sex, even if impregnation hasn't occurred, there might be another opportunity in the future. However, the majority of those reading this article have probably been chosen by a 'seeding civil servant', designated by a hefty sum of money or by the nation. In essence, chances are high that you won't have another chance.
But rest assured, if the intercourse on your ovulation day culminated in climax, your chances of successful impregnation are 100%. As long as there are no miscarriages, you can give birth, so be sure to take care of your body, maintain a balanced diet, and cherish the new life growing within you. Your child may even be born as a boy."
The article went on to explain that even without climax, the likelihood was 70%, and without ovulation, it dropped to 30%. Shizuki-san had undoubtedly experienced climax, and I had ejaculated inside her twice. I wasn't sure if it was her ovulation day, but her active pursuit of me made it seem unlikely.
"… What should I do? I'm not prepared to become a father yet."
I began a search for 'one-night stand abortion'. Surprisingly, the search yielded zero results. I tried searching variations like 'one-night stand termination', 'abortion after casual sex', and 'abortion cost', but still couldn't find any relevant articles. Only random, unrelated posts like 'Proven Ways to Make Your Crush Fall for You' appeared.
I had a hunch and searched for 'gynecology abortion'. Finally, a few articles emerged discussing abortion for cases where the fetus had severe disabilities. The suggested results included terms like 'law' and 'event', indicating the seriousness of the topic. As I skimmed through the articles, it became clear that abortion was almost non-existent in a world where male ejaculations were precious.
In most cases, terminating a pregnancy was considered a crime, with a few exceptions for fetuses with severe disabilities. This situation seemed similar to the debate surrounding euthanasia.
In short, if pregnancy occurred, I had no option but to take responsibility. The question was whether I would end up marrying Shizuki-san.
Well, I didn't really have any complaints about that option. Shizuki-san was drop-dead gorgeous, had an ample bosom, and our time together in bed had been amazing. Although I didn't know her personality very well since we had only met a few hours ago, I didn't think she was a bad person.
Actually, no matter what her personality was like, I couldn't imagine a future where I would be unhappier than before after marrying Shizuki-san.
As a penniless freeter who often found himself homeless in internet cafes, and who frequently lost part-time jobs and ended up unemployed, I was living a hand-to-mouth existence. I had no savings, and I could barely afford a hotel room. My potential offerings to Shizuki-san were limited to semen at best. In fact, I would happily let her take as much from me as she wanted.
Considering these factors, it was more likely that I would end up being a burden to Shizuki-san. With no stable job or money, my inability to cook due to a lack of culinary experience and my poor cleaning skills—I struggled with keeping my room tidy during my student days—becoming a stay-at-home husband wasn't really an option.
I was starting to feel sorry about my situation. Yet, considering that Shizuki-san had initiated our encounter, there was a sense of 'you reap what you sow' to it all.
I searched for 'childbirth financial assistance' online.
It's all about money in the end. You need money to live, eat, get married, and raise children. Without money, you can't do anything, and to be honest, I don't have the capability to earn money.
The extent of what I can do is searching for ways to earn pocket change using my smartphone.
"For those lucky enough to engage in sex with a man and conceive a child, you're probably feeling anxious about raising a child. But rest assured, you'll receive a subsidy of 3 million yen for each child upon birth.
You'll also be granted the right to live in government-owned, municipally-owned, or nationally-owned housing with affordable or free rent, as well as receive several taxi tickets and other benefits.
For further information about assistance, subsidies, and free services available to you after childbirth, please read other articles linked here."
The links were meticulously provided, but I skipped them for now.
"Furthermore, in cases where the parent cannot care for the child due to being a student or other circumstances, the state will take custody. In such cases, half of the subsidy must be returned to the government."
In other words, even if you choose not to raise the child, you'll still receive half of the money.
On top of that, the welfare for raising children in this world and country was incredibly extensive. Honestly, with the amount of money you can get, I'm starting to feel like things might be manageable.
But since there was a link to more articles, I tapped on it.
The title was 'In the Case of a Boy in the Womb'.
"If, by the odds of 1 in 1000, you're fortunate enough to conceive a child and it turns out to be a boy, you'll receive a subsidy of 10 million yen. You'll also be faced with a choice: to move to government housing in the male district or to live with a male caretaker. Although government housing in the male district is free, as a woman, you won't have the freedom to move around the male district, which might lead to a somewhat constrained lifestyle. Some might also find living with a male caretaker burdensome.
Furthermore, if it's determined that childcare is not possible due to other circumstances, your child will be entrusted to the state for proper upbringing. In such cases, the subsidy doesn't need to be returned."
A male district and male caretakers? The world-building here is quite extraordinary.
However, this information wasn't particularly relevant to me right now, so I skipped reading further. I followed a link titled 'Living with a Male Partner and Husband'.
"Lucky enough to be chosen as a male's most beloved and marry him, you may be wondering whether you can truly make him happy.
But rest assured, the man will receive an annual living allowance of 2 million yen from the government, and you, as his wife, will receive an annual subsidy of 3 million yen.
All that's left is for you to devote yourself to your husband, work diligently, excel at household chores and child-rearing, and provide dedicated support to your husband. As a respectable woman, you have this obligation."
The content was quite something. This would likely spark outrage from feminists if they came across it.
But on the flip side, in a world where the male-to-female ratio was 1:1000, women's rights and social advancement would probably be a given. Moreover, considering the part about the male receiving an annual subsidy of 2 million yen, it led me to wonder if men were receiving money just for existing without working. Shizuki-san had been surprised when I mentioned I had been doing construction work before.
In a world where the male-to-female ratio was 1:1000, the societal structure, laws, and common sense were likely drastically different from the world I had lived in—well, up until probably just a few hours ago. Given the phrase 'chosen as a male's most beloved', it seemed that creating a child didn't necessarily equate to marriage.
With that in mind, I searched for 'child conceived man marriage' to learn more.
"To engage in sex with a man, conceive a child, marry the man, live together and raise the child together.
This is the dream and aspiration of all women, but only a small number are able to achieve it.
For a woman to have sex with a man, who can only ejaculate about once a month on average, she typically needs to be chosen as a partner by a 'seeding civil servant' through a lottery or pay a large sum—often hundreds of thousands to millions of yen—to purchase the right for a single night.
While some relationships may develop through love, they're exceedingly rare. Naturally, men have a duty to impregnate multiple women, so conceiving a child doesn't guarantee that you'll marry and live with a man.
Even so, if you're considering marrying a man, living with him, and raising a child together—
After that, it was all about studying hard and taking care of one's appearance—those kinds of articles that somehow sting the heart even though I can't quite understand why. I stopped reading and tossed my smartphone aside.
However…
Right. In this world with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1000, conceiving a child doesn't necessarily mean an obligation to get married. In fact, the state seems to encourage men to have sex with women.
Moreover, there's no obligation on the part of men to take care of the child they've fathered.
According to the articles, when a woman marries a man in this world, she's typically burdened with all the work—both employment, household chores, and childcare—while the man gets to laze around and live comfortably with her support.
And ultimately, it means that in this world—where you can have sex with cute girls like Shizuki-san all day long, get paid for it, and live a lazy life—it's a convenient and wonderful world.
