Chapter 23: Dream Seducers

Ayaka, Yuutas case worker, visited him on the day of his final ranking examination of junior high school.

Congratulations on reaching Rank E.

Thank you!

Ayaka informed Yuuta about his rank-up the second she stepped through the door. Although it was called an examination, it didnt mean that the men had tests performed on them on that appointed day. Their rank was already set by that time, so it was more like the occasion for a recap of their activities over the past year.

Yuuta was overjoyed as him having reached E-Rank allowed him to take a breath of relief.

Well, in reality it had been decided from the very start that you would go up to E-Rank.

Eh?

Forgive me, but I wasnt perfectly honest with you.

Eeehh?

It couldnt be helped as it was for the sake of testing you. Please excuse me for this audacity. And I must admit it was a wonderful Underground Service.

What do you mean?

Ayaka never stopped smiling while explaining things to Yuuta.

The state of Nihon had already decided that your rank would rise, Yuuta-sama. They were only debating whether to raise your rank to E or D.

And in the end I got an E-Rank, you say?

If you had accepted the Sperm Donation Service back then, you would be a D-Rank now. As a matter of fact, it was my task to persuade you into accepting the Sperm Donation Service.

You didnt do anything like that.

Yuuta understood that Ayaka had started to give him Spoilers.

It looks like Ill finally be able to hear about all the things I want to know.

Yes. The organization prefers your male rank to remain low, Yuuta-sama.

The organization?

Im not talking about the Male Supervision Section to which I belong. Of course it is true that Im a member of the Second Male Supervision Section, but I belong to yet another organization. An organization called Dream Seducers.

Huh!? Dream Seducers?

They are said to be imaginary demons appearing in myths and folklore of the Old World. Yuuta-samayou know about them, dont you?

What do you mean?

I believe that you might be aware of that term as someone possessing memories of the Old World.

Hearing those words finally coming out of Ayakas mouth, Yuutas mind calmed down.

As expected, Ayaka-sanyou were Yuuta-kuns collaborator, huh?

Yuuta-kun?

Oh, Im referring to the previous methe self inhabiting this body before the personality transplantationas Yuuta-kun.

Yuuta-sama, you are a manof the Old World?

Thats right. Ayaka, you and your people implanted my personality into this body, didnt you?

Yesindeed.

As he had thought, Ayaka was Yuuta-kuns collaborator, but at the same time he felt that somehow something seemed off with Ayaka.

While being slightly bewildered, Ayaka continued with her explanation, Our organization set up the network of Underground Services. And just as I already informed you before, the objective of Dream Seducers lies in saving the common women who lost all hope.

I see.

Most of the men, who became members of Dream Seducers, range from twenty to forty years in age. A mans Sperm Rank starts to decline after an age of 28. We invited men who were unable to form friendly relationships with women of high families or would find it hard to form such relationships in the future.

So you were targeting men who would be worrying about their retirement, huh?

You arent wrong about that. We brought this offer up with men who would cooperate and agree with our organizations objective. But, all of them are men who have been labeled as Leftovers. As there are few men to begin with, we dont have the luxury to be too picky when selecting from the pool of those men.

You mean to say they were men who werent very desirable for the common women who lost all hope?

Yes. As such, the organization considered securing Leftovers from among the young men and raising them in a way beneficial to the organizations objective.

Was Yuuta-kun a member of Dream Seducers?

No, he was not. I did not talk about the organization with Yuuta-sama as he was a junior high student. You are aware that I wasnt Yuuta-samas first case worker, right?

Yes. If I remember correctly, the previous one was called

Yuuta-kuns first case worker. The face of a very gentle-looking woman immediately surfaces in my mindI think shes called..

Uuuhh!

Y-Yuuta-sama!?!

A headache suddenly assailed Yuuta.

Yuuta-sama!? Ill call an ambulance at once!

I-Its fine. Im alright.

B-But

Yuuta breathed out, I-Im okay now. I got a headache all of a sudden, but it went away just as quickly.

No, you need an immediate examination at a hospital. We can continue our conversation on another day.

Youre in there, arent youYuuta-kun? No, Im actually Yuuta-kun, am I not? But, I feel like something is wrong about thatgh!

Guuh!

Yuuta-sama!?

This headachecome to think of it, earlier it alsothis headache accompanied me trying to recall things about Yuuta-kun. A little while ago, I got a headache when I thought about Tomoe-san.

Are you alright? As I thought, we should get you to a hospital.

No, lets not do that. These headachestheyre no regular headaches.

There also exist hospitals run by members of Dream Seducers.

Oh, I see. I guess it wont pose any problem to go thereright. Ill go and consult them.

I think that would be for the best. By the way, what did you try to recall just now?

Yuuta-kunsfirst Service.

The one with the incident?

Yes. I tried to remember the first Service which became the trigger for Yuuta-kun becoming a shut-in. Somehow I do feel like I know what happened, but when I tried to recall the details, I was assaulted by a headacheas if being forbidden to remember it, I couldnt find out anything.

As I thought, Yuuta-kun indeed resides inside you, Yuuta-sama.

Youre right. A compatibility rate of 99% means that 1% isnt accounted for.

For a while after this, Yuuta continued to talk with Ayaka about the personality transplantation. In the end, Yuuta only learned about Yuuta-kun still being inside him. Thus he decided to keep thinking about this matter at a later date, and instead focus on a discussion about his actions in the near future.

How about you try attending your junior high school once before your graduation ceremony on March, the 31st? It has been announced today that you have become an E-Rank, Yuuta-sama. I believe the reaction of the female students towards you will be different now.

But, men finishing junior high as E-Ranks are being described as losers and dunces, arent they?

Yes. Men who enter high school while still E-Rank are referred to as such. Theyre men who meet the organizations criteria as far as were concerned.

So would anyone come to my classroom if I attended?

I cannot tell you, but it looks like your Game Stream Service was quite popular. I hear some women evaluated you very highly for it, even among high families. I dont think you will lose anything going there, and its also preferable for you to attend school, when considering your future activities, Yuuta-sama. After all, it is also related to the creation of a class for high school.

I see I suppose I will head over to class on the next School Day.

I think that is a wise decision.

His next objective was decided to be school attendance.

We would be delighted if you could accept Underground Service requests as time permits. We do not have anything like a quote, so feel free to do it whenever you feel like it, Yuuta-sama.

Alright.

Also, there are two more matters I would like to bring to your attention. First, about the male students belonging to the same organization.

Oh, there are other boys?

There is one male student who is one school year above you. He is called Keita-sama and will become a second-year at high school starting in April.

Does Keita-senpai know about me?

We plan to avail an opportunity for you two to meet once after you enter high school. However, Keita-sama hasnt been informed about you thus far.

Okay, I leave it in your capable hands then.

Yuuta was happy about the prospect of having someone he could call a kindred spirit.

The second matter hasnt been set in stone yet, but it will very likely come to pass. I will stop being your case worker, Yuuta-sama.

Huh? Why?

Hearing Ayaka mentioning that shed stop being his case worker, he reflexively knitted his eyebrows as he had finally managed to obtain someone with whom he could talk openly as a comrade.

I have heard that Tomoe-san, your initial case worker, filed a request to be reinstated as your case worker. She is a high woman belonging to the First Male Supervision Section.

Youre saying she wishes to be in charge of me again since Ive recovered enough to rise to E-Rank?

Tomoe-san was truly devastated when you became a shut-in. She apparently forgot to remind youerr, Yuuta-kun that it was common practice for a man to accept the request of a high woman for his first Service Activity. Because of that, Yuuta-kun chose a common woman as his first Service partner, leading to that incident occurring. As soon as she heard about you regaining your footing and contributing to society by performing Services, she wished to become your case worker again. I think thats only natural.

The Tomoe-san inside Yuuta-kuns memories Its okay. This time I can recall her without suffering any headaches. She seems like a kind, older sister. Yuuta-kun doesnt harbor any ill will towards her either. Rather, his emotions in regards to her areregret? Repentance? I wonder what to call it?

Also, theres another reason for this. It stems from me having the Sperm Donation request declined by you.

Eh?

In the eyes of the state, I, as a common woman of the Second Male Supervision Section, was apparently assessed to be incompetent. Well, its not like I really care either way. Even if you had become a D-Rank after accepting the Sperm Donation Service request, they would have very likely tried to remove me from my position as your case worker, claiming that an excellent man like you should be handled by someone from the First Male Supervision Section.

I understand.

Since I was able to win you as a member of our organization during my term as your case worker, it is no problem whatsoever, even if they switch me out at this point.

Its because we can always stay in touch through the underground tablet, right?

Yes. Please make sure that the underground tablet wont be discovered in case Tomoe-san takes over from me.

Roger.

I expect that I will be summoned by my superior tomorrow or on a later date in order to be informed about the reassignment. However, the change of case workers will actually take place after April, I suspect. So I think I will be able to meet you again as your case worker during March.

I might encounter various matters requiring consultation once I have attended school, so please assist me during that time.

Of course, do not be shy and contact me at any time you wish.

This was how Yuuta became a member of the organization Dream Seducers. Yuuta, who was still an unknown even within the organization at that time, would soon exhibit his abilities to the fullest after obtaining Ayakas cooperation.
