The current time was 11 PM.
The lights in the hospital were dimmed, and the room where Masanojo was staying was also dimly lit.
In that darkness, Masanojo lay with his arms folded behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The shocking revelation that fathers didn’t exist had left him stunned.
Out of all the facts revealed to him so far, this was probably the biggest shock.
“To think that the very existence of a father is completely gone…”
Masanojo was indeed shocked by this fact, but strangely, he didn’t feel particularly sad about it.
Of course, not having a father was sad, but it was a vague, abstract sadness — different from the grief of actually losing a father.
This was probably because his father hadn’t died or disappeared.
In his original world — which he suspected existed parallel to this one — his father was likely still alive and well.
That vague feeling lingered in Masanojo’s heart.
He then thought about the world he was currently in.
This ridiculous world — could it be what people called a parallel world?
For some reason, Masanojo had wandered into this world by chance.
But he hadn’t suddenly appeared out of thin air.
In this world, there had already been another person named Masanojo even before he arrived.
So where was that other Masanojo now?
He suspected that the Masanojo who originally belonged to this world had been sent to his original world.
Thinking that, Masanojo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
A person who thought this crazy world was normal would be in for a huge surprise in the original world.
After all, unlike here, the gender ratio there was roughly 50-50.
Everywhere you looked — men, men, men.
There were tons of men.
“Haha… The other me is probably having a rough time too.
Hang in there, Masanojo.”
Masanojo sent a cheer to his unseen counterpart with a bitter smile.
――――――――――――――――――――
It was past 2 AM, deep into the night, and Masanojo still couldn’t sleep.
There were many things on his mind keeping him awake, but there was an even bigger reason.
“Damn it… Of course it comes to this.”
He glared at his lower body.
There stood his cock, rock hard and fully erect.
Unfortunately, it seemed his disease hadn’t been cured even after coming to this world.
Of course it hadn’t.
That was exactly why he had assaulted a woman in the park the other night.
He had been using his confusion after transferring to this world as an excuse to avoid facing this fact, but it looked like it hadn’t changed.
“Damn it, what am I supposed to do about this?”
He was currently in a hospital room in the middle of the night.
If he were in his own room, he could handle it with masturbation, but the location was terrible.
There was no way he could do something like that in a hospital room.
At the same time, he couldn’t just ignore it.
If he kept holding it in, he would definitely explode by morning.
That would be more than just awkward.
No matter how much it was due to his illness, doing that in a place with many strangers around was simply too much.
After thinking hard, Masanojo decided to go to the bathroom to take care of it.
That way, he could literally flush the evidence away.
As he tried to sneak out of the room to go to the bathroom, he noticed something.
“Is something wrong?”
“Um, I was just going to the bathroom…”
“I see.
Understood.
Please wait a moment.”
The officer spoke into her radio, and shortly after, a nurse came rushing over.
“Mr.
Kasumi, are you alright?”
“Eh, ah, yes.”
“Good.
Then I’ll accompany you to the bathroom.”
“Eh?
Huh???”
The nurse supported Masanojo as if he were a fragile patient, putting her arm around his shoulder and carefully helping him.
Two officers walked in front and behind them with a heavy atmosphere, escorting them all the way to the bathroom.
“…What is this?”
When they arrived, the two officers said, “We’ll wait at the entrance, so please feel at ease,” and stood guard like statues.
The nurse, however, followed him inside the bathroom.
“I’ll wait here for you.”
She stood outside the stall, waiting for Masanojo to finish his business.
“…”
This was the worst.
Absolutely the worst.
There was no way he could masturbate in this situation.
Standing in front of his rock-hard erection, Masanojo held his head and sat down on the toilet seat.
What should he do?
How could he get out of this?
He desperately racked his brain, but no good ideas came to mind.
After a long time, the concerned nurse called out to him from outside the stall.
“Mr.
Kasumi, are you okay?
Is something wrong?”
“N-No!
I-I’m fine!
Everything’s okay!”
“Are you really alright?”
“Yes!
Really, it’s nothing!
Please don’t worry!”
“I see.”
He somehow managed to get through the conversation, but his raging erection was not so easily dealt with.
“Ugh…”
No solution came to mind no matter how much he thought about it, and Masanojo finally gave up.
When he opened the stall door and stepped out, the nurse looked at him with a worried face.
“Mr.
Kasumi, are you alright?”
“Haha, yeah, sorry for the trouble.”
On the way back to the room, just like on the way there, the nurse supported him.
Having a woman this close while he was rock hard was nothing but poison to Masanojo right now.
The nurse supporting him gave off a sweet feminine scent that further stimulated his erect cock.
“Ugh…”
Seeing this, the nurse pressed closer to him.
“Mr.
Kasumi!?
Are you okay?
Are you feeling unwell?”
Her full breasts pressed against him.
This made Masanojo’s cock even harder.
“Ugh… I-I’m fine!
Really!
I’m okay!
Seriously!”
“But…”
“I’m really fine!
Let’s just get back to the room quickly, okay?”
Shaking off the worried nurse, Masanojo hurriedly headed back to his room.
Back in the room, his erection showed no sign of going down.
On the contrary, the contact with the nurse had made it even harder, to the point where it was now painful.
“U… ugh…”
If he kept this up, he would definitely explode before morning and spray massive amounts of semen all over the hospital room.
There was no time left.
Enduring the pain, Masanojo desperately tried to find a solution.
Then, something suddenly crossed his mind.
It was the incident in the park the other day.
At the time, he had lost his mind and couldn’t properly understand the situation.
But think about it carefully.
Did he really assault that woman?
It was true that he might have been at fault for the initial trigger.
But what about after that?
Masanojo traced back his hazy memories.
Did he really attack her on his own?
Or perhaps… maybe it was the other way around?
Yes — maybe the woman had been the one who attacked him?
Think about the common sense of this world.
In this world, the number of men was overwhelmingly small.
That’s right — men were in extremely short supply.
In such a situation, would a man really assault a woman?
Now, what about the women?
From the women’s perspective, men were almost nonexistent.
To the women of this world, men were an incredibly rare and valuable existence.
Valuable enough that they might want to assault one.
If that was the case…
If a man invited them, wouldn’t that be incredibly lucky for the women?
Just think about it.
For women in this world, it was not at all rare — statistically speaking — to go their entire lives without ever touching a man.
In fact, the number of women who had ever had contact with a man was probably overwhelmingly small.
If all of that was really true…
A small, dark shadow fell over Masanojo’s thoughts.
