Chapter 22 Extra 1 Part 1
Interlude 1 – Martina, Part 1
The region that had seen a sharp decline in the male population due to the outbreak of the Red Death in the early modern period, Europe.
Despite the expropriation of colonies during the imperialist era, their male ratio was one of the lowest in the world. The ratio averaged 1:40 in each country.
After the world wars, due in part to the development of various technologies, deaths among the young had decreased and life expectancy had increased.
On top of that, along with the groundbreaking invention of artificial insemination, the total population was gradually recovering.
However, this trend, too, had reached a plateau, and in order to solve the problem of population decline that was expected to occur in the future, drastic reforms had been implemented since the 1970s.
As part of these reforms, they established male preferential zones on several islands in the Mediterranean Sea and invited men from all over the world to vacation there.
Except for travel expenses, men who visited the preferential zones were free of all expenses for their stay, including accommodations, meals, entertainment, and so on.
To ensure the safety of the men, it was only natural for the security around and inside the islands to be as vigilant as at a military base.
On the other hand, women – staff members were only natural, but even those with sightseeing purposes (which cost more than twice the market price) – who were allowed to visit the islands were limited to those who had passed strict requirements and high competition in terms of age, appearance, background, etc.
The ratio of men to women on the islands was always kept at 1:5-8, and the security was also so well-maintained that it was possible for men to walk alone in designated areas.
Thanks in part to this, there were many men and women who had not only had momentary romances in the male preferential zones, but had even gotten married.
According to a survey conducted in a Western European country, men who had spent time in the male preferential zones seemed to be twice as likely to produce offspring as those who had not.
Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost island that was floating in the Mediterranean Sea, was also one of those islands.
◇ ◇ ◇
My mother, who had just graduated from high school in Barcelona, wonderfully passed the recruitment for restaurant employees on Lampedusa Island.
There she met and fell in love with my father, a Japanese tourist.
What was more fortunate was that my father was not just having fun with her for the duration of his stay on the island, but was properly interested in taking her as his significant other… no, as one of his wives after spending a month with her.
My mother later told me that my father, who was 10 years older than her, had already had four wives, so even though she was his fifth, she didn’t mind it at all.
That was because having a relationship with a man and to be taken as his wife was a great fortune in and of itself, after all.
My mother accompanied my father to Japan and formally married him.
Born one year later was me, Martina.
By the way, I have five elder sisters from different mothers, but not even a single elder brother.
Even though it was better than Europe, the male to female ratio in Japan had dropped to about 1:30, so I barely had any chances to meet men, but even so, I was happy that my father doted on me a lot since I was his youngest daughter.
In this world where men are extremely scarce.
It seems that there was even a time when a large number of women swarmed young men, maintaining the population by squeezing sperm out of them over and over again to bear their children.
However, in the latter half of the 20th century, artificial insemination technology was developed, and they were able to have children, even if it was limited to girls, without having to force themselves to scramble for men.
Therefore, there are also all-women families that have continued for two generations, or three if they are unlucky.
Should that happen, when the daughters of matrilineal families reach the age of adulthood, when they want to fall in love and get married, they don’t know how to treat men because they are not accustomed to interacting with them.
As they sometimes resort to forceful means, there are even times where they are accused of being female molesters or rapists.
Still with no experience with men even when they reach the age of 20. The type who thinks being able to have children through artificial insemination is better.
There are also women who grow old without being able to have children due to economic or physical reasons.
This is the negative spiral of the matrilinear family that has become a problem in recent years.
On the other hand, as they have someone from the opposite sex they are close with since early ages, girls who have a father or brothers have some leeway in interacting with men and are still able to treat them naturally, making it easier for them to bond with men.
It was true that I was blessed in many ways, but maybe I was born into such circumstances too.
Me being able to enter a co-ed high school was of course partly the fruits of my efforts, but….
It was just that, I was troubled by my chest, which rapidly grew like a fruit ripening as I grew taller.
It was on the level where they stood out so conspicuously among girls of my age, made my shoulders stiff, and it was painful when they swayed as I exercised.
It was also troubling that when I tried to buy a bra with a design I liked, there were no bras that matched my size.
When I went to high school and tried to get close to boys, most of them ended up being put off after seeing these breasts of mine, you see.
For both men and women, having slender bodies with little flesh on them would earn them extravagant praises, after all.
In the worst cases, I was even called a 「titty monster」 or 「creepy」, which was shocking.
Me becoming a member of the executive committee for the school festival in my third year in high school was because I had just had my heart broken and wanted to distract myself by devoting myself to something else.
On the day of the school festival, I had a fateful encounter.
That was because not only did I manage to invite the man who had been covered in the media for years, the one hailed as the sex hero, the messiah of the declining birthrate era, to give a lecture, he even fell in love with me at first sight.
The irony was that the main reason he fell in love with me was because I had big boobs, which were rare… no, in hindsight, I guess you could say that they grew up to such a level in order to allow me to meet him.
And then, we started dating and got married once I graduated.
At the time, I was pregnant with my first daughter, Elena.
He, Sakuya-san, was an unusual man.
To be exact, his name was Toyota Sakuya, and he was 27 years old when we met.
He was a little taller than me, who was in the mid-170s at the time, so he was probably 180 cm tall, I guess.
His caramel-like light brown hair was a little long, reaching down to his nape.
He had unusually fair skin for a Japanese person, and his legs were long and slender, giving him a great figure.
Even from a distance, you could tell that he was an exceptionally beautiful man, and every woman who took one look at him had no choice but to direct a feverish gaze at him.
It was on the level where even the male celebrities on TV would instantly become dull if compared to him.
His nickname was 「the prince of white」.
That was because his figure was exactly like that of princes that appeared in old fairy tales that were secretly popular among girls.
While most men in this world are cowardly because they will be attacked if they let their guard down, he alone never rejected any woman, regardless of what kind of woman she was, smiled at her, and looked at her with kind eyes.
At a glance, he was a fine-featured type of person. On the level where it made you want to protect him from being attacked by a woman driven by lust.
In this world, polygamy is obligatory, but the minimum number of women a man can take as marriage partners is three, while for those with numerous partners like my father, it could go up to five or six at most.
Women tend to have a stronger sex drive than men, so if the men continue to keep their partners company as they desire them, there is no way their stamina will last, right?
Amidst such circumstances, Sakuya-san had made a legend where he lost his virginity at the age of 10 to his elementary school homeroom teacher, and by the time he was 15, he had had sex with more than 200 women and fathered more than 20 children.
Even if we take it with a grain of salt, there are no other boys like that.
In Spain, my mother’s home country, there is a legend of 「Don Juan,」 a man who had relations with hundreds of women, but it is said to have been a fiction created by a writer who lamented the world in which the number of men had ended up declining rapidly.
It is said that Sakuya-san never went to high school, had his lifelong livelihood guaranteed by the government, and effectively married four of his classmates whom he impregnated.
A truly nonstandard man.
As his name crossed the borders of Japan and began to be known even abroad after receiving media coverage, women who wanted to hold him began to swarm him in droves, not only from Japan but also from across the sea, and the government stepped up to take care of the security for him, apparently.
He himself wanted to be selective, so only women in their late teens or early twenties with good looks were chosen.
Before he married me, at the age of 27, the women he had taken as wives were 17 in number. Even the children he had had with his wives alone numbered more than 30?
In addition to that, the number of temporary lovers and one-night stands he had was countless.
If extramarital affairs were included, the number of children he had was rumored to be as many as 100 or 150.
In any case, he was truly a ray of hope for women.
I was so proud and happy to be chosen by such him.
When he first invited me to his bed, I was uncharacteristically nervous, and my heart couldn’t stop racing.
And then, when I was embraced by him, I got to know it.
That Sakuya-san’s true nature was that of a sexual beast. That he had an insatiable sexual appetite and extraordinary vigor.
To begin with, by the time he held me and kissed me naked, I was so madly in love with him that I felt like my mind and body were melting.
As he took his time to caress me and whispered, 「Ah, Martina, what a charming woman you are. Moreover, I’ve never seen such magnificent boobs before. How wonderful!」, to me, I had my first ecstasy.
I think it was because my body had been so loosened up by the foreplay, which lasted for more than an hour, that I felt like it was melting, but the pain of the defloration lasted for only a moment.
From that point on, I was just tossed around by the waves of pleasure, on the level where I could not even tell how many times I came.
