After a few moments of silence at the surprising words announced by Isis-san, I slowly open my mouth to confirm it.

".........In other words, this world is 'polygamy', isn't it?
"...Ipta saisei?　...and...what?
Oh, uh...

　Well, there's no such thing as polygamy in this world...
　I understood that from Isis's reaction, which was a nod of the head, and I first explained to her about polygamy.

In other words, it's like having one husband and multiple wives.
''Well then ... this world ... well ... this world?　........the world of kite......is different?

　After nodding in agreement with my explanation, he nods his head again.
　I mean, after all this time.......................but your face is so close!　Since we're still in the hugging position, our faces are so close to each other that it makes me nervous.
　However, Isis-san's gaze is seriousness itself, and I didn't feel comfortable diverting from the topic for some strange reason.
　So I decided to let reason do its job again and continue the conversation.

''Yes. In my world........maybe there are some exceptions that I just don't know about, but it's basically one husband and one wife.
"...Really?　.... why?
'What?　Oh, no, I'm not sure why...

　If you ask me why we are monogamous, I can only say it's because it's common sense.......
　

　Anyway, it seems that polygamy is the norm in this world, and there's nothing funny about a man having a relationship with more than one woman.
　Why is it like that?　
　At the same time such a question came to my mind, the words I heard before came to mind.

--Megid, I heard that 'the other world' has almost the same number of boys and girls?

　That's right. Black had indeed said that.
　
　So that means........

'Mr. Isis. Can I ask you one question?
Yes.
Isn't it possible that... 'there are more women than men' in this world?

　Yes, when you think about it, a lot of things make sense.
　Many of the people I met when I came to this world were women, and it seemed quite normal to have a female head of state or emperor.
　And when I think back on it, I think the people I saw on the street.......were more often women.

''Well ... yes ... there are ... much more women ... than men.''
No, I knew...
...For example ... the gods are all women ... not a single man.
'What?　Really?!
''Well yes the gods are all women but we can't have children.

　Here comes a new shocking fact, it seems that all of the divine race are women.
　The only ones I've met are Shiro-san, Klonoa-san, and Fate-san but they're all women for sure.
　And as for not being able to have children, I remember Fate-san saying something like that.

''The ... human race ... there are both men and women ... but there are more women.
I see........demons too?
"...the demon race is a bit ...complicated ...like Megiddo. ...some of them can be changed at will.
Come to think of it, I remember hearing something like that.

　

''By the way........me and Liliwood.......woman......Magnawell.... ...male.
Well that makes a lot of sense. Thank you.


　As far as Isis-san is concerned, there are more women than men in this world, after all.
　Moreover, the ratio of men to women may be quite tilted to the extreme.......is that why polygamy has become so commonplace......

　Now, I know this world is monogamous but as soon as I hear about it, then I'll go out with a lot of women!　It's not like I'm going to get any ideas... well, there's no way I'm going to be in a situation where I'm going to date a lot of people as a virgin in the first place...
　Anyway, I may not be adjusting to the ways of this world right now but I think I'm relieved.

　I like Kuro but I'm beginning to be attracted to Mr. Isis, too.
　While my indecision is shameful, I'm relieved that I didn't have to reject Isis' feelings by making a choice.
　If I were to confess my love to Black, I don't know if he would accept it.

　I........what the hell am I going to do?
　I don't care what number you are, Mr. Isis, you told me that you don't care what number you are, you like someone else and I like you too.
　I'm really happy for you........but I haven't been able to organize my mind enough to accept that thought right now, right here, right now.

Isis-san.
...Yeah?
Can I say something very, very selfish?
"...what?　...Yeah.

　While staring at Isis-san with a serious expression, I gradually speak out my thoughts that I haven't yet sorted out even for myself.

''........As I said before, the world I grew up in was a world where I could only date one partner. So when I hear that this world is monogamous, I can't immediately change my mind.
Yes.

　Hearing my words, Isis-san's face falls down a little sadly.
　But that expression changes drastically when she hears the words I continued.

''So........can you wait and get it?
...What?
When I'm ready, the thoughts in my mind I'll tell Black about it. Then I'll think it over.
...to think?
''Yes.
?

　I don't want to be worried about my indecision and move the scales in my heart.
　I'm going to tell Black the feelings that are in my heart right now, that I love him. And then, the feelings for Isis that are beginning to form in my heart, I will not run away from them, but I will accept them.
　

　That's why I can't decide right now.
　I love this world ... but my uncles and aunts ... the people who raised me in this world are in my original world.
　I can't just cut them off....

Maybe it will take some time. But will you still, you know....wait for me?

　I think this is a really selfish argument.
　Isis-san is thinking about me so strongly, but I'm asking her to let me withhold her answer.

　Isis-san hears my words and is quietly silent, then smiles with large tears streaming from her eyes.

''Yes ... yes ... I'll wait ... as long as ... as much as ... as long as it takes. My feelings for ... for Kite ... will never fade ... for a very long time. ....I'm going to love Kite.
Mr. Isis.
"Kite I love you so much... so I'll keep you around for as long as you like. ...as much as you want ...as much as you want ...to think about ...okay.
Thank you very much.

　I was so moved by the pure and straightforward thoughts that I hugged Aisis-san tightly.
　

　Dear Mom, Dad - I didn't think about it when I first came to this world, but in my mind................................the choice to remain in this world is beginning to emerge.
