Book 1: Chapter 3: Faceless Disease (1)
A memory from long ago.
It was around the time I had started elementary school.
“Father. Why didn’t you marry only one girl?”
At that time I had learned that monogamy was common sense in nearly every country. Our country was the same. In other words, it meant that my growing environment being unusual was confirmed on a national level.
“Son. You probably won’t understand, but there are good women around the world, albeit rare. And even more rare than that are good men. If a good woman and a good man were to meet, then it’s inevitable that they’ll have sex.”
My father declared shamelessly.
As he always would.
“Oh? So for father, you were able to meet 5 of those so-called ‘rare good women’?”
“That’s because I did a lot of good things in my past life.”
