A Parallel World With a 1:39 Male to Female Ratio is Unexpectedly Normal

The Start: Kazuya 2

This Kazuya Kinoshita grew up in an alternate reality and hates every aspect of his existence in that World. He hates the fact that he is in a World that has an estimated ratio of 920 Women to every one Man. He hates and despises the fact that his Father is married to another Woman besides his Mother. Even if it is required by Law for his father to be married to other women. He just plainly hates her and he also hates and despises his two Younger Sisters that are from that Woman. He hates by law he has to go to a Fertility Clinic once a month to masturbate into a cup for money. He hates the lewd glances he receives from every woman he passes. He hates being escorted to and from college by women that he despises but it is required because they have to protect him from being accosted by other Women. He hates everything that he has to endure in this World. The only thing he ever wanted is to sit in his room, read his manga, watch Anime and attend classes at college without any worries about women in general. That life would be bliss compared to the one he has to suffer through in this world. Thus, he prayed for that with all of his might and to his delight a deity actually listened. That is after he tripped on the stairs, falling and bumped his head extremely hard on the floor. Awakening in the Hospital where just his Mother, Father and Grandmother waited anxiously to ensure he was not injured. As the Goddess that talked to him suggested, he pretended to have amnesia.

The Start: Kazuya 1 Prime

This Kazuya Kinoshita is the one from the Series and at that moment was concentrating on whether to actually confess to Chizuru or not. Then as he was walking on campus, he tripped on something and landed hard on the floor. Bumping his head. When he awoke, he was in the Hospital and at first believed that his discussion with an unknown Goddess was nothing but a hallucination. But as he laid on the hospital bed, there before him was not only his Parents and Grandmother. But three others for some reason he knew who they were. His father's second wife Sakura and their two daughters. Arisa and Aina. His Paternal twin sisters that were two years younger than him. Though he also knew that Sakura was only 37 Years old and from what he could see. She no way possible looked almost 40. In fact, she looked only a couple years older than him. After reassuring his parents, his grandmother, his second mother and his sisters that he was fine now. The doctor recommended that he remain overnight for observation. During that time alone, he used his Smartphone to research the jumbled memories he had from the other Kazuya.

"Okay. From what hat the Goddess told me...It is all true. By estimates there are really over 900 Women for every 1 Man. Has been that way for almost the last fifty years due to some Biological Company accidentally making what they thought was an aphrodisiac aid, but instead made a virus that reduced the Chromosome XY ability for human males to be born." Kazuya mumbled as he reread the news reports about what they referred as the XY Chromosome Crisis. He then read over what the Governments did to remedy that situation. Besides the Scientific approach to do gene splicing in an attempt to change YY Chromosomes to XY while the baby was in the embryo stage. He noticed that most of it was a hit and miss approach with only a one percent success rate. Then he read about the laws and regulations. The Primary one that caught his attention was the fact that before he reached the age of twenty-five, he had to be married to minimally two women. More would be recommended. If he did not, then the Government would have him meet several potential candidates and he would be forced to marry at least two of them. He also would have to impregnate them. He chuckled when he read about that after the age of 15, Men had to go to a fertility clinic and leave a sample every month. Which they got paid for. The more you supplied the more you made. As he researched, he discovered that his parents had received two million yen a year when he was born.

"Now on to why the other Kazuya hates his life here." Kazuya closed his eyes and went through some of the other's memories. From what he remembered or rather the other remembered was not as bad as he thought they would be. Such as when he was fifteen and the other was attending a coed school, he was tricked into going without his escorts to the Gym. There four of his female classmates, forced him into a supply room and made him take Viagra. They then proceeded in making him have sex with them. Several times. The girls all were from influential families, so they only were suspended for a week for sexually assaulting him. As Kazuya remembered what the girls looked like, he was a little confused why the other was upset over the whole thing. All four in his estimates were extremely attractive. Two of them could easily have become Idols in his reality. Sitting up, he let out a long sigh. "Onto the other thing. That Kazuya hates his Second Mother and his Sisters. So much so, that he treats all of them like dirt." He had to wonder why. From his perspective when they had come to see him at the Hospital all three seemed to adore him. As if they too were part of the Family. Laying back onto the bed, he picked up his Smartphone and reviewed several other things that caught his interest. By the time he was done, seven hours had passed. Turning off his phone, he closed his eyes and drifted asleep.

Kazuya 2:

It took all he had not to laugh out loud when Kazuya looked at his Smartphone and discovered that there was an equal ratio of women to men in this reality. There was also the fact that there were no forced marriages or him having to go to the Fertility Clinic once a month. What really delighted him was he no longer had a Second Mother or any Sisters. He had hated her from the first moment that his father had that woman invade his home back when he was two. He then found he also hated his twin sisters born from that slut. For him they were nothing and he felt nothing for them. He put down the Smartphone and thought about the memories from that other Kazuya. He liked the fact that he was what would be considered a virgin. He had not lost his purity to those classmate sluts back when he was 15 when they forced themselves on him. He grimaced. "One problem. This idiot that was here...Is in some type of weird relationship with someone called Chizuru Mizuhara." He chuckled and shook his head. "Paying to go out with a girl...Talk about demented and completely strange. Sure, back in that hell. Men would sell themselves to women for hefty amounts. But I have never heard of a woman being paid to pretend to be someone's girlfriend. Nothing else I need to end that as soon as possible. Though it seems Grans and Mom and Dad or rather his family...adores this girl. Maybe I can use what the goddess suggested. I pretend to have amnesia and claim I have no memory of being in any type of relationship with her. If she tries to resist or wants to continue the farce...I will threaten to tell everyone she is a Rental Girlfriend. If I remember from his memories...She does not want anyone to know about her job. I can use that." He muttered with a coy smile. Laying back on the bed, he found he could not stop himself from smiling. "Soon I can do what I always wanted. Go to college. Read Manga and watch Anime. Along with never getting in any type of relationship with any woman." He laughed and felt completely relieved. Pitying his other self for the hell he was now forced to endure.

Returning Home: Kazuya 1

At first, Kazuya thought that he would be going to his Apartment. But as his father drove him home. He came to realize that he was living at home and not an Apartment. He wondered about that and asked his Mother why he was living at home and commuting to college. "Are you sure you are alright?" Harumi asked and Kazuya nodded from the back seat as she peered over the seat to look at him with concern.

"I am fine. It is just...I thought since I am 20 years old and a college student. I would be living alone in an apartment close to the Campus." Kazuya said and he noticed that they both looked at each other while at a stoplight.

"Well son...You asked to live at home. You told us you were worried that some woman might assault you. So, you asked to remain at home and commute to School." Kazou informed him and Kazuya remembered the other Kazuya did request that.

"So, I commute." Kazuya said and both his parents nodded.

"Not alone. You may not remember this. But the College actually sends three girls to escort you. They are paid by the College to ensure that you are safely escorted to and from the College. As soon as you feel you are ready...You should contact the College so they can come escort you." Kazou said as he continued to drive the car. When they arrived at the House, Kazuya stared at the building in disbelief. It was basically the same as the house with the store underneath. But it was larger and from what he could tell the top two floors were not like in his world. They were not rented out. His father pulled the Car into a garage, and they all went inside the house.

"Dinner will be ready in about an hour, Kazuya. Why not go to your room and maybe clean up a bit?" His Grandmother said and Kazuya nodded with a small smile. Up in his room, he looked about the room and nothing was the same as his world. For one there was several bookshelves with Manga and Anime on the shelves. Sure, he liked Manga and Anime. But not to this extent. Taking one of the books, he read a bit and then grimaced in disgust. He checked several others.

"All of these are about the same." As Kazuya took one after another off the shelves and started to toss them into the nearby trash can after he checked. It seemed that his other self, had a fascination with the degradation and humiliation of women by men. Where the men tormented, tortured and shamed them. Some of the worst ones were about the Protagonist doing the same to his Sisters. Which also disgusted him. Especially how detailed the Manga went into. "Is this what got his rocks off." He then checked the Anime and most of those were Hentia level. With the same theme. Those too he began to throw away and noticed that he had filled two large trash bags full. As he was about to check other places for, he suspected the more deviate ones were hidden somewhere in the room. There was a knock on the door. He opened it to find a long dark-haired girl standing there. She seemed almost afraid to say anything.

"Dinner is ready. Grandma Nagomi sent me to tell you." Arisa said tentatively, already expecting Kazuya to say something nasty like he always did. Instead, she gasped when her brother smiled.

"Thank you, Arisa. I will be down in a bit." Kazuya said politely and she continued to stare at him in disbelief. Tears began to flow down her cheeks. She was expecting him to say something unpleasant. Such as he hoped she or her sister had not touched the food. That he did not want to catch some type of disease from them. Telling her and her sister, because of the way they dressed and acted much like their mother. That they were nothing but sluts. So, when he actually talked civilly to her, she could not help but find herself becoming emotional. "Hey...Are you alright?" He asked her in concern, and she began to cry even more.

"Yes...It is just...You never...treated me like this before." Arisa said as she sniffled wiping her eyes with the sleeve of her shirt and Kazuya smiled at her. Placing his right hand on her shoulder.

"If I made you upset before...I am sorry. I should be nice to my little sister...To both of my little sisters and my second mother as well." Kazuya said and Arisa smiled with tears running down her cheeks.

"Can I have a hug?" Arisa asked and Kazuya nodded. Spreading out his arms and she immediately stepped closer putting her own arms around him as they hugged. After a few moments she stepped back and continued to smile happily. "We better hurry...Otherwise Grandma Nagomi will get upset at us for being late." She said and found she liked her brother like this rather than how he used to be. Later she told her mother and sister about what had happened and at first they could not believe it. But found that during dinner Kazuya actually smiled at them and talked to them normally. So, they too hoped he would remain like this rather than how he used to be.

That evening, Kazuya laid on the unfamiliar Queen-Sized bed and found he just could not sleep. He was used to either a futon or a twin bed. Not something as large as a Queen-Sized bed. Before he laid down, he discovered more Manga stuffed inside the Mattress. But these were so sorted that he immediately tore them apart before tossing them into the trash. He also found the other Kazuya's Journal and after reading some of it. He tossed it too in the Trash. It was full of things that made him wonder if that Kazuya was a psychopath. "What is wrong with him?" He muttered as he laid there trying to get relaxed enough to doze off. After about two hours, he gave up and decided to explore the house a little. Sure, the basic design was the same as his Family home. The major difference though was that all the floors were connected by Staircases that ran through the center of the house to the next floor. On the third floor was Arisa's, Aina's and Sakura's Bedrooms. Along with a small balcony. Stepping out on it, he was shocked to find Sakura sitting in an outside chair drinking beer. She smiled at him as he fully came out onto the balcony.

"Couldn't sleep?" Sakura asked and Kazuya shook his head.

"This all feels unfamiliar to me. It might take some time for me to...Get used to...Being here." Kazuya said as he really looked at Sakura. She was wearing a light nightgown over her ample bosoms and body. He had to admit, she was clearly a beautifully attractive woman. He could see why his father would want her as his second wife. That is if his father actually viewed her as his wife. Which he didn't. In fact, Kazuya remembered through the other's memories was that his father had gone to a clinic and then Sakura was artificially inseminated. Not in the seventeen years has Kazou Kinoshita once had sex with Sakura Kinoshita. Not on the wedding night and not at any time since. She continued to smile and then raised her right hand that held the beer up at him.

"Care to join me and have one?" Sakura asked and Kazuya nodded. Sitting next to her as they both drank and talked. They remained there for hours drinking beer and talking. Learning about each other where before Kazuya barely acknowledged her.

Awakening, Kazuya groaned as he tried to open his eyes. He knew he was in the midst of a minor hangover. As he was about to raise his right hand up to put over his eyes to block the incoming light from the window. He found something or rather someone was stopping him to do so. He now could feel that someone lying partially on top of him. Reluctantly he opened his eyes and inwardly gasped at what was before him. He could clearly see the dark long hair and beyond that a naked back down to a bare butt. He swallowed dryly and blinked a couple of times to ensure that he was actually awake and what he saw was not a hallucination or a dream. What made situation more dire, was the fact that he too was completely naked. He could feel her body directly pressed against his own bare body. Oh, he recognized who it was and that made it even more devastating. He closed his eyes and groaned again as he remembered what had happened after they had stopped drinking together. She had invited him to her room to show him a picture of her Parents and from there. "Oh God! I...We did it! We did it several times." He said softly feeling guilt begin to well up inside him. Moving his free left hand up over his eyes, he shook his head. "I slept...I had sex with my Father's second wife." That is when Sakura slowly opened her eyes too and looked at him. She smiled and pulled him closer as she smiled. Holding him tightly against her.

"It is going to be fine Kazuya." Sakura said as she sat on the bed with a light sheet covering her. As Kazuya went on and on about how he had betrayed his father. "Listen and calm down. Kazuya we are both adults and you probably do not remember due to your Amnesia...But it is not morally or ethically wrong for...Married couples can have...If a woman or man finds someone else that...It is allowed...No one will condone it." She tried to explain and Kazuya could tell she was extremely embarrassed talking about it. She continued to blush slightly and took hold of his right hand in hers. "Uhm...To tell the truth...You were my first...You were my first time with a man. I lost my virginity when I...I lost it to a Sex Toy when I was Arisa's and Aina's age." She stammered out as she blushed even more. He could not help but find her expression kind of cute.

"I still need to tell my Father. It would not be right...For him to find out any other way." Kazuya said and Sakura could tell that he was worried that Kazou would be upset. She shook her head and giggled.

"I am sure he will not really care. Though you should know...I am not on any Medication to...There could be a chance...From the number of times we did it...I could end up...Pregnant. Which I hope I am." Sakura said and Kazuya stared at her wide eyed in shock. Realizing that last night during their escapade, he had not used any protection. Mainly since he discovered earlier, there was none. The Government wanted accidents to happen. So, they actually outlawed the use of condoms.

Later, Kazuya was extremely shocked and surprised that Sakura had been right. His father did not even care that he had slept with Sakura. In fact, Kazou suggested that if he wanted to, he could do it as much as she wanted. He could also do the same with Arisa and Aina if they were also amendable. Back in his own room, he laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. "This world is really...Strange." He muttered and decided to check his Smartphone about this whole situation. Discovering that it was not unheard of and not considered immoral or unethical for extended family members to do such things. Such as he could have intercourse or sex with his Half Sisters and their Mother without worrying about any legal or moral problems. In fact, it was extremely common in other countries for it to happen on a regular basis. "Anything is acceptable if there is a chance a Male is born. Talk about...weird." He then chuckled as he set his Phone down and decided to take a short nap. Tomorrow he would be going back to College and right now he felt so tired he could barely keep his eyes open.

The Escorts:

For Chizuru Ichonise, being a security escort was essential for her to accomplish her dream of becoming an accomplished Actor like her Grandfather. No other job could match what she made as an escort. Thirty Thousand Yen a day was what she was paid to ensure that safety of one of the few Male students to be able to attend Classes without being essentially mobbed by the Women also attending Classes. It had taken her almost four months to be accepted and another Month to go through the required classes and training. She did not enjoy being an escort. Especially because she had to work with the most conceded, egotistical and pompous Woman she ever met. Mami Nanami. The worst thing was, Mami was the Lead Escort and had been Kazuya's Escort for almost a year already. While others quit or were fired after a month or so. Because Mami had remained she got away with just about anything she wanted. So, to say Chizuru hated the other girl was an understatement. Especially now that Mami had effectively driven her friend, Sumi Sakurasawa to quit. Like Chizuru, Sumi needed this job and now her friend would have to find some low paying job to be able to continue attending College. As she arrived at the Kinoshita house, she noticed that Mami had not arrived yet. After about ten minutes later, Mami came walking towards her with a smile that made Chizuru feel like smacking the girl across the face. "I heard from the Dean in Charge of the Security Escorts. A replacement for Sakurasawa will be here tomorrow." Mami said her smile turning into a smirk. Stepping up to the door and she pressed the Button.

"So, we are doing it with just the two of us. That might not be easy." Chizuru commented thinking about how they were trained to escort Kazuya or any other Man that the Escorts were assigned to. Mami would take the main escort position and walk almost besides Kazuya. That was the role and position that Mami herself demanded to do, since that meant, she could attempt to flirt with Kazuya as much as possible. Trying to sway him to accept her as a possible wife candidate. For Chizuru and Sumi or the third member of the Escort. They would take on a forefront and rear position. With just the two of them, it would be hard to discourage any that would want to approach Kazuya.

"I guess I will have to escort him a few steps back to make sure none of those skanks get too close." Mami grumbled, realizing that she should have waited until a replacement was available before tormenting and forcing Sumi to quit last week. Chizuru knew all about Mami's goal and it included getting rid of her too. Fearing that she would somehow attract Kazuya's attention. Not that she expected that to happen. Kazuya seemed to her to be uninterested in any type of interpersonal relationship with any Woman. In fact, he barely talked to them at all. Only telling them where he was going and that was about it. So, she suspected that all of Mami's attempts and anything the girl tried wasn't going to work. Not with Kazuya. As she mused over this while they waited and expecting it to be at least another ten minutes. She was surprised and shocked when the door opened about a minute later. What shocked her more was he was staring at her for several moments and then he smiled broadly.

"He has never done that before. I wonder...Why?" Chizuru thought as she and Mami both bowed slightly and told him good morning.

When Kazuya opened the door, he almost stumbled and had to force himself not to overreact. There before him was Chizuru. The same Chizuru that he back in his World was falling for. It took him several moments to come back to his senses and after a bit she bowed and said good morning to him. It took him just as long to realized that there was another Girl and he was shocked to see that it was Mami. But his attention was on Chizuru. "That is Chizuru...Chizuru Mizuhara. No wait...It is Chizuru Ichinose. There are no Rental Girlfriends in this World. This might be my chance to be with her. To be something more than Rental Girlfriend and Client." He then forced himself to look over at Mami, who smiled warmly at him. He did not smile back at her. At that moment when he realized that this must be the one the other Kazuya had written about in his journal. The other did not mention her name. Only that it was someone he enjoyed leading on. That her personality was what the other expected from all women. For him, he remembered about how the Mami from his World had dumped him and essentially broken his heart until he had met Chizuru. So, there was no way he would ever want to try to get in any type of relationship with her.

"Shall we go? Mister Kinoshita." Mami said pleasantly as she waited, and Kazuya nodded and began to walk. She stepped partially besides his right side and a few feet behind him. While Chizuru walked about two meters in front of him. Both had their right hands on what he could tell were ASP Batons hanging from their belts. He remembered the rules, other than asking basic questions they could not engage in conversation unless he started it. What he wanted to do is talk to Chizuru. Discover if this Chizuru was the same as the one from his World. Sure, she looked the same. An extremely attractive and beautiful girl. But what he wanted to know if her personality and everything else was the same.

"I thought there was supposed to be three of you to escort me." Kazuya said and Mami looked at him oddly.

"She quit yesterday. She did not have what it takes to be an Escort. She kept screwing up. She made a lot of mistakes. A replacement will be here tomorrow. It will be alright...Both me and her should be able to keep you safe." Mami quickly said, gesturing towards Chizuru in front of them. Mami was not about to go into too much detail about why Sumi quit, since it was her that essentially made it that Sumi quit and answering before Chizuru could. Kazuya had a few minor memories from the other Kazuya and about before. He remembered that Mami had a habit of blaming anything that went wrong on Sumi. Even if it was Mami's fault. He also remembered that the other Kazuya enjoyed seeing Mami torment Sumi and making her cry.

"If asked, would she come back? I do not want someone else. With my memories a bit hazy from my Amnesia. I rather have someone I have vague memories of than some stranger." Kazuya asked and noticed that Mami was no longer fully smiling. Pausing a few seconds and then quickly catching back up.

"You will have to put in a request with the College Escort Security Office." Chizuru answered and now Mami glared at Chizuru. Mami was not about to tell him that. She was spending a few moments trying to think of a good response where it sounded good and not where Sumi would be rehired or asked to come back. She had spent two weeks trying to get rid of Sumi and now all that effort would be for nothing.

"Okay. Then that is what I will do." Kazuya said and easily noticed the gloom emanating from Mami. She wanted to protest but knew that would not go over well if she did. It might give him a negative impression of her. So, instead she silently grumbled over the unfairness of it all. "Uhm...Ichonise...I understand one of you escort me to lunch...Could you do it? I would really like to talk to you." He asked tentatively and both Chizuru and Mami almost stumbled. Chizuru turned and looked back at him wide eyed. She slowly smiled.

"Usually, Nanami does that are you sure it is alright for me to do it? " Chizuru asked and then looked directly at Mami who was fuming angrily at her.

"Yes. But only if you want to." Kazuya said as they neared the Train Station.

"Okay...Then I will come get you at your Class." Chizuru said and returned her attention back to escorting him. All the while Mami was glaring at Chizuru's back with pure hate. She wanted to protest and demand why Kazuya had chosen Chizuru to go to lunch with. Then it dawned on her that perhaps Kazuya was only doing that to mess with her and Chizuru. He tended to do that once in a while to others. It was all a game to him. Making some girl believe he would be interested in her and then he would humiliate the girl in some demeaning manner. She smiled finally, hoping that she was there when he did that to Chizuru.

When they arrived at the Campus, Chizuru and Mami escorted him to his first class. Once there, the Classroom Proctor took over ensuring that he and the two other Boys in the class was not harassed in any way by any of the Girl Classmates or the Woman Teacher. The boys generally sat together in the back, while the Proctor sat up front facing the Class. Leaving, Chizuru and Mami headed to their own separate classes. Only to return when the Class ended and then they would escort him to his next class. That happened until it was lunch time and then this time Chizuru would go with him to the Campus Cafeteria.

To be continued:
