Chapter 62 Part 2
「So much….」
Yuu was at a loss for words, but Miku calmly said…
「Just being in your teens and given 『Excellent (Special)』 rating is already making you precious, so now that you are personally proposing to do sperm donation like this, offering that much is only natural! Ah, if half a year passed and you still had not done any sperm donation, we from the White Cross Society might come to ask you to do it. Should that happen, maybe you would be able to ask for better terms….」
「Ahaha, it is more than enough. You have even kindly arranged the hospital VIP room for me, after all.」
「Muu… You are so unselfish, Hirose-sama….」
After that, the donated semen would be stored bereft of the donator’s personal information, so when it was eventually used for insemination, it would not be known whose semen it was.
As such, there would be no connection to the child born, and so on; After she explained that much, they proceeded to a question-and-answer session, and that was the end of it.
「I will be taking my leave now. Thank you very much for your time today.」
「Don’t mention it. Likewise, thank you very much for telling me a lot of useful things.」
It seemed that Miku alone was going to leave the room first, and when Yuu returned her thanks, she, feeling much obliged, bowed and walked out of the room.
Then Yuu faced Rumiko one-on-one.
Facing Rumiko, who had the air of a female teacher, Yuu ended up feeling as if he were in a student guidance room.
Currently, she was calmly crossing her legs in front of him.
It was probably a man’s nature that his eyes ended up getting drawn to her long, bare legs.
Maybe she noticed that or maybe not, Rumiko smiled sweetly.
「Now then, Hirose-sama, from here on we will be talking about important matters that cannot be revealed to anyone else. It includes some things that may be a little too complicated for you, who just entered high school, but if there is anything that you don’t understand, please don’t hesitate to ask me, okay?」
「Hmm. Is it a secret that I cannot tell others?」
「Err, if you want to tell someone, I guess it will be okay if is only to your family.」
「Ah, yes.」
「Fufufu. Right, don’t be so nervous. Are you the 33rd son of the late Toyota Sakuya-shi?」
「Huh?」
There was a pause.
To a certain extent, he had heard some things about his father from Martina.
He had twenty wives and over thirty children before he died, but as far as what Martina had told him, not many boys were born from his wives.
However, given the nature of the world they were in, it seemed that there were also cases like Yuu’s where the birth was kept secret or the child was raised as if he were a girl in public.
Martina, who realized that she was pregnant after her husband passed away, left the house they had been living in and gave birth in Izu. After that, she changed her family name back to the one she had before her marriage and lived with her parents.
Yuu barely had any memories of the time they lived at her parents’ home, and by the time he could remember, they were already living in an apartment in Saitama Prefecture.
He had never heard others talk about his father either, so he had never paid it any mind.
Maybe there was media coverage, but to keep it from reaching her children’s ears, Martina might have shut them out.
「I have not heard much details about this matter, but… Umm, does that mean I had 32 elder brothers… I mean, half-elder brothers?」
When Yuu asked her that, Rumiko picked up a thick file with a large ㊙ stamped in red letters and flipped through it.
「Since the balance of the male-to-female ratio ended up going off, it is only in the modern era that we have relatively reliable data on men, but no man has had love affairs with as many women as Toyota Sakuya-shi did. At present, neither before nor after him. Which is precisely why, a year after his death, the Toyota Sakuya Memorial Foundation, which inherited a part of his inheritance, was established to compile his accomplishments.」
「Huh? I have heard nothing about such a thing.」
「Well, that is because most of the people who were related to him are still alive, and since they include young men, as a rule, all of it is secret information.」
「I, I see.」
When she closed the thick file stamped ㊙ and put it on the table, Rumiko picked up another file and opened her mouth.
「By the way, Hirose-sama, do you know what the current population of Japan is?」
Given that Rumiko suddenly changed the subject, Yuu was puzzled.
He believed that when looking it up in the library before, it was said that it was only about 70% of the population of the world he lived in before his rebirth.
「I believe… it was about 80 million people, wasn’t it?」
「Yes, the population once exceeded 80 million in the second half of the 20th century, but it gradually went down along with the decline in economy. After the Law for Measures to Cope with Declining Birthrate was enacted in 1980 to prevent population decline, the population, which had remained almost flat, began to see a rise the year before last, albeit slightly.」
「Ooh.」
At the very least, the government of this world that took immediate and effective action may have been more competent than the government from before my rebirth; So Yuu thought, but the expression on Rumiko’s face in front of him was not sunny.
「The problem lies elsewhere.」
「Elsewhere?」
「Did you know that the male to female ratio in Japan is roughly 1:30?」
「Yes.」
「According to last year’s statistics, at the age of 18, the ratio was 1:32. That means that if there are 1,000 children, 30 of them will be male. However, the most recent newborn baby survey results are much more serious. In the most recent data, the male-ro-female ratio is 1:39. Which means that out of every 1,000 babies, only 25 are male. In other words, in terms of male-to-male ratio, let alone stopping, the decline in the male population is getting worse.」
「Huh?!」
「Which means that now that the total population has made a slight comeback, if the male percentage continues to go down as it is, there is a risk that the decline will eventually be unstoppable. According to some projections, Japan’s population will drop to 65 million in 30 years, and the male-to-female ratio will widen to 1:50. Well, more or less, all developed countries are haunted by similar problems, though.」
He was simply delighted when he realized that he had been reborn in a world where men were few in number.
As he turned into a handsome boy, who was a completely different person from him but happened to have the same family and given name as him, he got to experience a life of extreme popularity firsthand.
Given the nature of this world, in which there was an excess number of women, it was true that he lived in an environment where he would very unlikely have trouble finding women even if he was not handsome, so as someone who held his former world’s values, it was nothing but delightful.
However, looking at it from a broader perspective, the problems this world was facing were serious.
He remembered that even in the world he lived in before his rebirth, there were talks about declining birthrate and aging population issues, which in fact became more pronounced around the 2010s.
And in this world, due to the low number of men, the problem started at an earlier age.
Even if we implement drastic reforms with new laws, if we can’t put a stop to the decline in the number of men, the vital problem, what in the world should we do?
Taking a fleeting glance at Yuu, who was casting his eyes down pondering, Rumiko once again picked up the thick file with the ㊙ stamp from earlier and flipped through it.
Seemingly to have found the page she was looking for, she opened her mouth, which was covered in red rouge, and wore a smile on her face.
「Let’s go back to the matter from before. The women whom Sakuya-shi was united with in marriage and took as his wives were 20 in number. And of the children that were born to them, five were boys and thirty-two were girls.」
「Huh? According to my mother, I am the first boy, though?」
「Ah, about that, you see… I think it was probably because before the children reached a certain age, the mothers claimed to those around them that they were girls. Most likely, your mother had also done the same thing when you were born, Yuu-sama. And then, because of the uproar that occurred in the wake of Sakuya-shi’s death, they deliberately didn’t let people know about it.」
「I see.」
In Japan of this world, the probability of giving birth to a boy was only 1/30, and while it was certainly a joyous event as a mother, it must have come with its own worries as well.
「Even if they were not united in marriage, it seems that Sakuya-shi had an unbelievable number of women with whom he had relations. According to what the person in question said, it seems that since he lost his virginity to a teacher from his school when he was 10 years old, not only female classmates, juniors and seniors from his elementary school and middle school, he had 『screwed around』 even with teachers and women in his neighborhood. Then, throughout his 20-odd years of career before he passed away, it is said that the number of women with whom he had relationships easily reached 500 or 600, but as expected, we are unable to know the exact number. And then, children who were born to his wives, acknowledged extramarital children, and children who were later acknowledged based on credible testimonies – after his death, women who claimed to bear his children popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after rain, but most of it turned out to be false claims, either because they aimed for his inheritance or because they wanted to be famous, so we exclude them –, if you tally them up, as of today, the number of children that we have managed to confirm is 202 in total, 33 boys and 169 girls. There are probably also children that we don’t know about because they were born after their mothers returned to their home countries, so the actual number is probably much higher than that.」
「A, amazing….」
Truly modern-day Don Juan, or perhaps Casanova.
Aside from what he had heard from his mother, he had seen what his father was like when he was still alive in magazines and TV specials.
However, Martina had warned him not to put too much stock in them, as they included rumors and legends that were fabricated or exaggerated later.
When he happened to read it in a weekly magazine, even if he took the article with a grain of salt and deducted from it, he thought that perhaps his father had also been reborn or transferred from another world, just like him.
In any case, he was an outstanding, unprecedented man who had built an actual harem of women in this world.
Had he lived, he surely would have accomplished thousand-women slaying.
Now that his deduction was supported by the number presented by Rumiko, Yuu felt a sense of admiration toward his father, but the person in question was unaware that the current him was steadily following in his father’s footsteps.
