Chapter 132: 132

After a few moments of silence at the surprising words Isis-san said, I slowly open my mouth to confirm what she said .

[……In other words, this world practices “polygamy” huh . ]

[……Poligami? …… you say…… what’s that?]

[Ahh, errr……]

I see, the word “polygamy” itself doesn’t exist in this world huh……

When I understood that from Isis-san’s reaction when she tilted her head, I first explained to her about polygamy .

[In other words, it’s one man having multiple wives . ]

[……Then…… . this part…… of our world…… is different…… from Kaito’s world?]

After nodding her head as if she somewhat understood my explanation, she tilted her head again .

Anyway, I know it’s already late to say this…… but your face is too close, you know!? She still has my body held in her arms, so my body’s beating faster because our faces are so close to each other .

However, Isis-san’s gaze looks like the embodiment of seriousness, soo I didn’t feel it’s good to divert the topic for a strange reason .

So, I decided to let reason do its job again and continue our conversation .

[Yes . In my world…… There may be some exceptions to this that I just don’t know about, but it’s basically one husband and one wife . ]

[……Is that so? ……Why?]

[Eh? Ah, no, even if you ask me why……]

If you ask us why we’re monogamous, I can only say that it should be common sense…… though I can’t really say that huh .

However, that may also be true on Isis-san’s side…… It’s like, just as the world is different, so does the common sense .

Anyway, it seems that polygamy is the norm in this world, and there’s nothing strange about a man having a relationship with multiple women .

Why is it like that?

At the same time that such a question came to my mind, the words I heard before came to my mind .

——-Megiddo, I heard that in the “other world”, the numbers of the boys and the girls are almost the same, you know?

That’s right . Kuro has indeed said that .

At that time, I didn’t really know the situation, so I didn’t mind it, but then, I thought about it again…… The way she phrased it, it was as if she was saying that it was different in this world .

So that means……

[Isis-san, Can I ask you one question?]

[……Unnn . ]

[Could it be that in this world……”there are more women than men”?]

Yes, if I think about it like that, lots of things would make sense .

Most of the people I met when I came to this world were women, and it seemed quite normal for them to have a woman as the head of the family or even as the emperor .

And when I think back on it, I think the people I saw on the street…… were more often women .

[……Unnn…… Compared to men…… there are so much more…… women . ]

[A- As I thought……]

[……For example…… . all the gods are women…… not a single one of them is a man . ]

[Eh? Is that so!?]

[……Unnn…… All the gods are women…… however…… they can’t have children . ]

A shocking fact just slammed right into me, it seems that all the Gods are women .

The only ones I’ve met are Shiro-san, Chronois-san and Fate-san but…… all of them certainly are women .

And as for not being able to have children, I remember Fate-san saying something like that .

[……In the Humans…… there are both men and women…… but there are more women . ]

[I see…… Is that also the same case for the Demons?]

[……As for the Demons…… it’s a bit…… . complicated…… There are some like Megiddo…… who doesn’t have the concept of gender…… or Kuromueina…… and Shalltear…… who can change their gender at will . ]

[Come to think of it, I remember hearing something like that . ]

I know, of course, that Kuro can change her gender at will, because she already said that to me before but…… This is the first time I’ve heard that Megiddo-san doesn’t have a gender and that the Phantasmal King can change her gender at will .

[……By the way…… Lillywood and I…… are female…… and Magnawell…… is male . ]

[I se…… that makes lots of sense . Thank you . ]

[……No…… If you have things you want to know…… . just ask . ]

Based on what Isis-san said, there really are more women than men in this world .

Moreover, the ration of men to women may be really quite tilted…… . and that’s why polygamy has become a common practice in this world……

Now then, I may have heard that polygamy is practiced here in this world…… that doesn’t mean I would immediately go “Gotta catch them all!”…… Well, in the first place, there’s no way that the virgin me would go into a situation where I would date lots of people……

Anyway, I may not be able to adjust to the ways of this world anytime soon…… but there’s some part of me that’s kind of relieved .

I like Kuro…… but now, I’m beginning to be attracted to Isis-san as well .

While my indecisiveness makes me look quite shameful…… I’m relieved that I didn’t have to reject Isis-san’s feelings by making a choice between them .

But well, in the first place, if I were to confess my love to Kuro…… I don’t know if she would accept it……

However, I…… What the heck am I supposed to do now?

Isis-san just told me that she didn’t care what number she was and that I also like someone else .

I’m really happy after receiving her feelings but…… I haven’t been able to organize my mind enough to accept her feelings right here and now .

[……Isis-san . ]

[……Unnn?]

[…… . Can I say something very selfish?]

[……Eh? …… Unnn . ]

While staring at Isis-san with a serious expression on my face, I gradually spoke out my thoughts, that I haven’t even sorted out my own thoughts yet .

[……As I said before, the world I grew up in was a world where I could only date one partner . So, even if I heard that this world is monogamous, I can’t immediately change my mind and go along with it . ]

[……Unnn . ]

Hearing my words, Isis-san looks a bit sad as she lowers her head .

However, that expression drastically changed when she heard the words I said next .

[So…… can you please wait for me?]

[……Eh?]

[When I’m ready, these thoughts I have in my heart…… I’ll tell Kuro about it . After that, I’ll think it over . ]

[…… . Think?]

[Yes . To thoroughly think about my own feelings…… When I’m ready to accept Isis-san’s feelings…… At that time, I’ll be the one confessing to Isis-san!]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

I don’t want to be troubled by my own indecisiveness, so these scales that are moving in my heart…… I will stop it .

These emotions I have in my heart right now, these feelings of love I have for Kuro…… I will tell her . And after that, these budding feelings that I have for Isis-san, I won’t run away and accept it .

And having that resolve…… is equivalent to choosing “not to return to my world, but to remain here instead” .

That’s why I can’t decide right now .

I love this world…… but my uncle, my aunt…… the people who raised me live in my original world .

Cutting them off…… isn’t something I can do .

[It may take some time . However, ummm…… Could you please wait for me?]

I think I’m being really selfish when I say this .

Isis-san is thinking about me strongly, but I’m asking her to let me withhold my answer .

Isis-san became silent for a while after she heard my words, but then, she smiled with large drop of tears streaming down her eyes .

[……Unnn…… I will wait…… no matter…… how long it takes… . . my feelings…… . for Kaito…… will not fade…… I really, really…… love you…… Even after Kaito gives me your answer…… I will love Kaito…… more and more……]

[……Isis-san . ]

[……I love…… Kaito so…… take as long as you like…… no matter how long…… you need to think…… It’s fine with me . ]

[……Thank you . ]

Overcome with emotion at the sight of her too straightforward and pure emotions, I tightly hugged Isis-san .

I’m a really lucky fellow…… I’m so fortunate to have the love of such a wonderful person in my life, making me feel like I’ve used all the luck I had in my life just to meet her .

Dear Mom, Dad——- I didn’t think about it when I first came to this world, but when I had made up my mind…… The thoughts of staying in this world began to emerge . Those thoughts may be painful, but it’s also a happy one…… I’ve met enough people that I don’t want to leave and want to be together with, people that make me really feel—— that I’m really filled with happiness .

His reply to Isis may have been put on hold but…… . She finally made Kaito start to think about staying in this world .

In that sense, this might be a tremendous achievement for Isis .

……Hoy, Seriousness, don’t look over here . It’s already settled that Kaito’s answer to Isis’s confession is a big YES . You don’t get to have any turns here .
