Chapter 132 - Filled with Happiness

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 whats that?]

[Ahh, errr]

I see, the word polygamy itself doesnt exist in this world huh

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

[In other words, its one man having multiple wives.]

[Then. this part of our world is different from Kaitos world?]

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

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

However, Isis-sans gaze looks like the embodiment of seriousness, soo I didnt feel its 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 dont know about, but its basically one husband and one wife.]

[Is that so? Why?]

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

If you ask us why were monogamous, I can only say that it should be common sense though I cant really say that huh.

However, that may also be true on Isis-sans side Its like, just as the world is different, so does the common sense.

Anyway, it seems that polygamy is the norm in this world, and theres nothing strange about a man having a relations.h.i.+p 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?

Thats right. Kuro has indeed said that.

At that time, I didnt really know the situation, so I didnt 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 worldthere 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 G.o.ds are women not a single one of them is a man.]

[Eh? Is that so!?]

[Unnn All the G.o.ds are women however they cant have children.]

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

The only ones Ive met are s.h.i.+ro-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 its a bit. complicated There are some like Megiddo who doesnt 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 Ive heard that Megiddo-san doesnt 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 thats 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 doesnt mean I would immediately go Gotta catch them all! Well, in the first place, theres 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 theres some part of me thats kind of relieved.

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

While my indecisiveness makes me look quite shameful Im relieved that I didnt have to reject Isis-sans feelings by making a choice between them.

But well, in the first place, if I were to confess my love to Kuro I dont know if she would accept it

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

Isis-san just told me that she didnt care what number she was and that I also like someone else.

Im really happy after receiving her feelings but I havent 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 havent 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 cant 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 Im ready, these thoughts I have in my heart Ill tell Kuro about it. After that, Ill think it over.]

[.Think?]

[Yes. To thoroughly think about my own feelings When Im ready to accept Isis-sans feelings At that time, Ill be the one confessing to Isis-san!]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

I dont 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 wont run away and accept it.

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

Thats why I cant 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 isnt something I can do.

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

I think Im being really selfish when I say this.

Isis-san is thinking about me strongly, but Im 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 Its fine with me.]

[Thank you.]

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

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

Dear Mom, Dad- I didnt 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 its also a happy one Ive met enough people that I dont want to leave and want to be together with, people that make me really feel that Im 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, dont look over here. Its already settled that Kaitos answer to Isiss confession is a big YES. You dont get to have any turns here.
