## Chapter 216 – (2)
A society where rank is determined by the size of one’s manhood.
It was a world straight out of a dirty manga.
After hearing the explanation and looking around, only men were wearing badges.
Right, there was a manga like this.
The plot came back to me, and a chuckle escaped my lips.
“Alright, go on now… give me your numbers.”
“Yes…”
I sent the man with the red badge and his women on their way.
Stealing a woman right in front of her man might be fun, but I decided to take their numbers first and save the fun for later.
I wanted to hear about the badges and their benefits first.
And I decided to hear it from the couple I had just saved.
They were looking at me warily.
“L-look, I don’t care about badges!”
“Ts-Tsugumi, calm down… maybe he’s trying to help us…”
“Idiot! D-didn’t you see him forcibly kissing that woman?!”
The woman, called Tsugumi, shouted preemptively.
The man tried to calm Tsugumi down a little, glancing at me sideways.
I guess my first impression wasn’t great.
I waved my hand.
“I just want to ask some questions. How about we go to a café for a bit?”
I spoke gently, unlike how I treated the red-badged man.
The couple exchanged glances, seemingly taken aback by my attitude.
Then the man answered.
“If it’s just a café… I guess it’s okay?”
“Yeah… sure…”
It seemed my smiling face and gentle voice had worked.
They both hesitated for a moment before agreeing to come to the café.
Good.
The manga didn’t go into detail about the benefits of each badge, glossing over it to get to the juicy parts, so I had a lot of questions.
‘Come to think of it, there was a minimap, wasn’t there?’
I remembered the new function of the quest board I had just acquired.
A small window appeared before my eyes.
The minimap, which looked like a map, showed a view of Shibuya.
Approximate locations, key figures, and rare items were marked with stars.
‘What are the rare items?’
I’d have to go and find out later.
“Why did you suddenly stop…?”
I heard the man mutter to himself.
I realized my mistake and asked the two of them.
“I don’t know the cafés around here, is there anywhere good nearby?”
“…Follow me.”
Tsugumi looked dumbfounded but took the lead.
As I followed behind her, I naturally walked alongside the man.
‘White badge.’
A white badge was dangling from the man’s chest.
The man who had been harassing them had a red one.
“This place is good.”
“Oh…”
It was a pretty big café for Shibuya, a bustling area.
The inside was packed.
As we entered, we saw a counter displaying pastries like slices of cake, and unlike many places in Shibuya which were full of tourists, this place seemed to be mostly locals.
A café recommended by locals.
That piqued my interest.
One of the staff members guided us to a table, glancing at my badge and smiling brightly.
“Is this your first time here?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
First time or not, I’d only been in this world for about 20 minutes.
Hearing my answer, the staff member kindly placed the menu down and said.
“We’re offering free drinks today, so please feel free to order.”
“…Then, I’ll have this and—”
I accepted the offer and ordered five drinks, enough for the three of us.
I thought about ordering just three out of courtesy, but there were some items on the menu that I was curious about, so I ordered those too.
Matcha coffee and soda with ice cream caught my eye.
“…Are you thirsty or something?”
“Nah? It’s free.”
The two of them chuckled softly at that.
The atmosphere seemed a little less tense.
“I guess even people with gold badges like free stuff.”
At Tsugumi’s words, I decided to ask her about the badges in detail.
What exactly were these badges, why did people bow down to them, and what were the benefits?
“You really don’t know?”
Tsugumi looked dumbfounded at my question.
“It’s not like you’ve been living in the mountains…”
“I’ll tell you.”
This time, the man decided to speak up.
The man’s name was Kenta.
He started by explaining why the badges were created and how it led to a quasi-class society.
“Incurable disease?”
“Yes. A disease that everyone in the world has.”
A disease had spread throughout the world.
A contagious disease that made it difficult to get an erection and drastically reduced sperm production and motility.
Of course, women weren’t immune to the disease either—
“Th-the women…”
Kenta glanced at Tsugumi next to him and said softly.
“Their… sensitivity has greatly increased… especially the sensitivity inside their… vagina…”
“…Wow.”
Just like in a porn comic.
They even messed with their sensitivity.
Initially, the badges were created to manage the epidemic.
Because the disease was reducing the birth rate, it was a near-catastrophic threat to the future of humanity.
Men who had been tested for the disease were given badges to identify those who hadn’t been tested.
Those who had even a slight chance of impregnating someone were given red badges, and those who were completely immune to the disease were given gold badges and placed under special management.
For the treatment of the disease.
And so.
Fifteen years after the disease spread.
The birth rate had plummeted due to the disease.
The meaning and benefits of the badges had changed a lot since then.
“It’s not really a benefit, but people with red badges, especially gold badges, are practically above the law…”
Tsugumi frowned, probably thinking of the red-badged man from earlier.
With the birth rate so low due to the disease, their value was beyond imagination.
They weren’t even sent to prison in case they got stressed and developed health problems.
The biggest punishment they would get was confinement to their mansion.
“So people with white badges are… sterile?”
“Not exactly… but it’s a little difficult to get an erection or ejaculate… and even if they do, the chances of getting someone pregnant are…”
Kenta smiled awkwardly as he answered the cautious question.
“People with red badges are only slightly better, but in reality, there’s not much difference…”
Tsugumi said with dissatisfaction.
They could get an erection, or their sperm count and motility were active, but they were just slightly better than white badges.
‘Did he say the color of the badge is determined by the size of your manhood?’
It didn’t seem entirely wrong.
A disease that prevents erections.
It was a terrible disease.
“It’s not really a benefit… but I heard that people with gold badges receive a lot of money just for donating to the sperm bank…”
“…”
Then is that really a donation?
I don’t know how much money they get, but it’s just a world where you buy things with sperm, with one step in between.
It was like something out of an adult manga, making my head spin.
There was no need to delve any deeper.
It was a world from an adult manga, created by an author with very specific tastes.
“So that’s the kind of world it is…”
I took a sip of the drink that had just arrived.
And I secretly squeezed the butt of the female staff member who had brought the drinks, as if grabbing it, without the two in front of me noticing.
“Ugh…”
The female staff member bit her lip, looked at me, bowed her head, and walked away.
Seeing her not even make a sound and bow her head, I understood what it meant to be above the law.
“…That’s real.”
“What is?”
“Never mind.”
“You can find more details on this website.”
With that, Kenta showed me a link to a website.
It was a site that listed the benefits of each badge.
It even listed the promotion requirements.
“You can get promoted too?”
“Yes, I’m… trying to get a red badge.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes, so I can… protect Tsugumi.”
“Kenta…”
Watching their affectionate love, I read the promotion requirements.
There was no need to read the benefits now.
They were above the law, it would be harder to find something they couldn’t do.
Promotion to a gold badge was impossible.
You had to be immune to the disease.
However, promotion to a red badge wasn’t that difficult.
There were so many conditions for promotion.
Even in Shibuya, a street full of men, I only saw one or two red badges.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“…No, I thought I might be able to help. With the promotion.”
“Yes, yes?!”
As if they weren’t a couple.
They both jumped up from their seats and shouted in surprise at the same time, and everyone in the café glared at us.
Shouting suddenly in a café would make people look.
But when they made eye contact with me, they all looked away.
I could feel the taste of power.
Anyway, there was some basis for my talk about promotion.
The conditions for promotion to a red badge included being able to get an erection when desired, and the duration of the erection.
‘If you know your kinks well, it might be possible?’
I wasn’t sure, but since you could still get a full erection even with the disease, I thought it might be possible if you strongly stimulated your kinks.
The important thing was Kenta’s kinks.
[Kink: Tsugumi]
It was too simple.
“Really?”
I nodded at Tsugumi’s question.
“I’m not sure, but I think it’s worth a try.”
I said that.
Even though I said I wasn’t sure, hope filled their eyes.
They seemed to trust me more because I was a gold badge.
Actually, what was on my mind right now were the strange couples I had met in the real world.
Couples who got excited from having their girlfriends stolen.
First, I’ll try various methods.
But if that doesn’t work—
The final method has already been decided.
