Happy Family Planning
The sex education lesson finishes, and it’s the chief priest’s workload issue next.
“Well then, from here on out, I would like to talk about the handling of patients with menstruation in the shrine”
“Let me ask Oba-sama; do the women who reside far away from the shrine also show up to the shrine seeking treatment whenever they have menstruation?”
“No, those from distant towns do not come. They are all, residents of this town”
“Well then, what do the women in distant towns with no shrines do about the menstrual pain?”
“I think they just wash it and endure the pain without treatment”
“I thought so. It is normally something you endure as such. Even in my previous life’s world, it was normal to prioritise one’s job and work while taking pain-relief medication and alleviating the pain”
“Well then, treatments are unnecessary for menstruation huh”
“Treatments are unnecessary. Is what I would very much like to say, but we are talking about ‘basically’ at best. If I had to say whether treatments are unnecessary for every women’s menstruation, then it would be no. The degree of pain differs according to their constitution and individual differences for this as well after all, and there are also cases where it occasionally becomes severe even though it is usually mild. And since there are also instances where the uterus has a serious disease, depending on the kind of pain, there are also cases where treatment is necessary”
“Well then, it means, you do not treat everything but only when the symptoms are severe huh”
“Yes. Exactly so. On the topic of hereafter, the chief priest’s work will end up becoming too much if you were to try to treat everything. Not just menstruation, I think it is necessary to review how we cope with the other symptoms as well and divide them into those that you ought to treat”
“How much to reduce will do?”
“If possible, out of the 7 days in a week, I think it is good to close the shrine at least 1 day to rest”
“The chief priest has duties as a messenger of God. I think resting and such is not something that is allowed though?”
“Oba-sama. It is true that the chief priest has been placed in the position of ‘messenger of God’, but beyond a chief priest, they are also a human. If they overwork, they could also get exhausted and collapse from sickness”
“If that happens, tons of people will be unable to receive treatments and suffer. I believe that safeguarding the chief priest’s personal health and happiness, will also tie in with the happiness of the people; what do you think”
“Oh, Oborozuki. I also think it is exactly as Tsukuyomi said. I inherited what was passed down from the prior Gods without questioning anything up until now. In turn, I didn’t even consider the feelings and the position the chief priest, my daughter, has been placed in”
“The other day, I was told that by Tsukuyomi. I thought that he was right indeed, and I reflected greatly. Oh, Oborozuki. Sorry for everything thus far. I think we have to think about how the shrine is to be and also how the chief priest is to work from here on out”
“Otou-sama! That is……”
Oba-sama ends up being overwhelmed with emotions. Beside her, Dahlia-obaa-san is also crying.
“Oba-sama, although I say that, I think you cannot suddenly say ‘you will take a break’ and ‘you will not examine menstruation’ out of nowhere tomorrow. Especially in the case of menstruation, because blood is pouring from the body, it should be of great mental distress for the women as well”
“I think it might be good to start by first informing those with relatively mild menstrual blood that there will be no problem even if they just wash it and receive no treatment, and inform them to only come in the case where the pain is unbearable, the amount of menstrual blood is more than usual, or the colour or smell of their vaginal discharge is abnormal next time”
“Also, the mechanism of menstruation that I explained today, I am thinking of making it into a book and distributing it from here on out. The people who visit the shrine because of menstruation should gradually reduce if we do that”
“How marvellous. Just as Gyougetsu-sama said, Tsukuyomi-sama really is a saviour huh”
“No way, Dahlia-obaa-sama. That is an exaggeration”
“Tsukuyomi-sama, thnak you”
“Onii-sama, thank you”
I ended up being thanked by everybody. It’s troubling even if you call me something like a saviour. I’m only spelling out my opinion as a doctor after all.
“Now then, I ended up taking up quite a bit of time. Let us wrap up for now, and we shall have a talk about family planning after dinner”
“Family planning? What is that?”
“Ojii-sama, it is a conversation on the baby-making method”
“Ooh, I see. We’ll excuse ourselves here then. I’ll go and drop Oborozuki off first”
“Tsukuyomi-sama, thank you very much for today”
“Yes. Oba-sama, I will drop in on the shrine again since I want to hear about the patients with other sicknesses as well”
“Eeh, anytime”
Ojii-san princess-carried Oba-san and used Teleportation to the shrine. And right after disappearing, he returned a few seconds later. And this time around, he princess-carried the Obaa-sans and transported them one by one. Aah, even at that age, the sight of him princess-carrying his wives and using Teleportation sure is somewhat nice huh.
We all gathered in the dining hall, and it was time for dinner.
“Onii-sama, why does Onii-sama consider so much for us?”
“Mizuki-nee-sama. What do you mean so much?”
“I have heard from Tsukikage-nee-sama. That during Tsukikage-nee-sama’s departure, you had a conversation for Nee-sama’s sake”
“A-, aah. Yeah. My previous life’s job was a doctor. It was the same circumstances as the Onee-samas who will become chief priests. I had performed treatments for tons of people day after day”
“And yet I could not save the one woman I love. I regret it, thinking it might have had a different result, if I had slightly more leeway mentally and physically”
“Doctors and chief priests can treat people’s sicknesses. But they are not omnipotent. We are also just humans. I do not want the Onee-samas to go through the same experience as me”
Ah. I ended up doing it again. It sure isn’t something to talk about during a meal huh.
“Sorry. It was not something to talk about during a meal……”
“Onii-sama! I will heal Onii-sama!”
“Yuzuki-nee-sama. Thank you”
“Onii-sama. I will give birth to Onii-sama’s child!”
“Hey! Yuzuki! What are you saying!”
“Onee-sama. Siblings are unable to get married, you know”
“Is that so? Okaa-sama”
“N-, no, even siblings are able to get married……”
“I thought so! Okaa-sama!”
“Eh? Siblings are able to get married in this world?”
“Eeh, they are able to……”
“No. That is no good”
“Eehー why, is it no good? Onii-sama”
“In a marriage between fellow blood relatives, the blood of the child born will become overly thick. There are also instances where the child has disabilities like deformations and such, you know. That is something tragedic for both the parents and the child. Irresponsible things like that ought to be outlawed”
“Is that so……”
“Because there are few men, there are also people who are in circumstances with no choice but to choose that. Especially for the royal families and whatnot……”
“Mallee-kaa-sama. Is that so. That is unfortunate huh. We have to change that as well huh”
“Tsukuyomi. After going to the Nemophila Kingdom, could Tsukuyomi personally look at those kinds of laws and traditions, and tell me if there is anything that is strange? I will go and talk to Chichiue and Hahaue1 about it”
“Eeh, Okaa-sama. Of course”
Somehow, the scale of the conversation sure has gotten massive huh. But I think incestuous marriage shouldn’t exist.
After dinner, we decided to talk about family planning while drinking tea.
“Okaa-samas, about the topic of family planning, please have the Onee-samas return to their rooms in the case that you do not want the Onee-samas to hear it”
“Yeah”
Ultimately, it was decided that around half of the Onee-samas, those above 9 years old, would stay and listen to the conversation. I think even 9 years old is slightly early, but you come of age at 15 years old in this world, so, well, I guess it’s fine.
“We will have you have sexual intercourse according to my instructions and test whether you are able to get pregnant. But first, we have to know Lucia-kaa-sama’s ovulation cycle and ovulation date. Just now, I have handed Lucia-kaa-sama the base temperature chart, so if you continuously record it for two to three months, we will probably be able to identify the approximate ovulation date”
“Yes. The chart over here huh”
“Do you remember the exact day you most recently had your menstruation?”
“Ye-, yes. It was actually last week. It was from the seventh until roughly the twelfth”
“Understood. Well then, let us immediately record it beforehand in the base temperature chart”
I record it in the chart. In this case, we can probably test it after two more rounds of menstruation.
“With this, as soon as we know the date of menstruation next month and the month after, the third menstruation cycle will come out. I will then identify the ovulation date from the base temperature chart and instruct you on which days I will have you have sexual intercourse for three nights continuously”
“Ye-, yes. Understood”
“By the way, Otou-sama, Lucia-kaa-sama. Would you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“Eh? We can choose?”
“No. I would very much like to say that you can choose, but since I do not have the medicine and equipment of my previous life, it is impossible to select the sex for certain”
“It is just that, since it is possible to raise the chances, I am asking for your wishes as a reference. However, I will need you to answer some rather embarrassing and intrusive questions to do that though……”
There’s no way there’s the centrifuge that separates the boy sperm and girl sperm in this world after all, and there’s no sex selection gel either.
“Okaa-sama! I, definitely, want a younger brother! Please!”
“Satsuki! Even if you tell me that!”
“For me as well, I would prefer a boy if we’re going to go through the trouble”
“Gento-sama as well huh. I am okay with it if that is the case though……”
“So, what are those intrusive questions or whatever like?”
“Understood. Has Lucia-kaa-sama, ever felt a feeling of orgasm during sexual intercourse with Otou-sama?”
“M-, my! Som-, something like that……”
“Tsukuyomi! Is there the need to ask something like that?”
“Yes. It is something important, so I am asking”
This isn’t the time to be getting embarrassed.
“I-, is that so……so it seems. Lucia. How is it?”
“Ye-, yes. I do not quite know what that ‘orgasm’ is though……”
“Aah, I see. I should think so. It is not the same for everybody since it feels different from person to person, but if I am to explain it medically, your breathing gets heavy, there are contractions in the vicinity of your nether region, and there are convulsions around your hips. On top of that, I guess you also acquire immense pleasure in your brain……so, have you had such an experience?”
“E-, eeh, in that case……I did”
Lucia-kaa-sama is already bright red all the way to her ears. How adorable somehow.
“Is that so. That is great”
“Gr-, great. Is it?”
“Eeh, because it would mean that Otou-sama was bad at it if she did not have that. Otou-sama, great huh”
“Ye-, yeah…… That’s great……”
Fufuu. Otou-san looks like his soul has left his body as well. It feels like I’m punishing him for stealing the still 15 years old Okaa-san’s chastity. It makes me feel just a little bit refreshed.
“That is very important in order to make a boy. I can actually explain it in more detail, but since it will become a scientific conversation, you will end up needing to take lessons for several days to understand. Hence, my apologies, but please quietly obey my instructions”
“Umu. Got it”
“Well then, next, I will go into the explanation of the technicalities in order to be blessed with a child”
“I will decide the days of sexual intercourse after the ovulation date forecast is out. I will have Otou-sama avoid sexual intercourse for the 2 days immediately before that and accumulate sperm. During the next sexual intercourse, please make sure to bring Lucia-kaa-sama all the way to orgasm before you ejaculate. Ah, do you know what ejaculation is?”
“Does it mean ‘releasing sperm’?”
“Yes. That is correct. Please do your best to not ejaculate until Lucia-kaa-sama reaches orgasm”
“I-, I’ll do my best. I guess?”
“Eeh, please do your best. This here is the crux. And then, when you ejaculate, please let it out in the deepest spot. You must not let it out somewhere shallow”
“Deep spot. Is it”
“Yes. Lastly, please do not take it out right after you ejaculate. Stay as you are until you are flaccid”
“Do not take it out right away, is it. Got it”
“Lucia-kaa-sama, after that, please close your legs and sleep until morning without moving. Aah, it is okay to get up to go to the toilet. But I would like you to not move for a few hours if possible”
“But I have to return to my own room though?”
“Aah, it is that kind of culture huh. Hereafter, Otou-sama, please head to the Okaa-samas’ rooms whenever you are doing it. If you do that, the Okaa-samas can rest as is until the morning after all”
“Umu. Got it. I shall do that”
“The conversation up until here is on the technicalities”
“There is still more?”
“Eeh, no matter how much you have sexual intercourse according to what I talked about just now, if you cannot do what I am about to talk about from here on out, they will not get pregnant in the first place”
“There is something so important huh”
“Yes. That is for Otou-sama to accommodate and love the Okaa-samas in the day-to-day. For example, physical exhaustion will end up accumulating after working busily for the entire day every day. When that happens, menstruation itself will end up not coming for the woman, and it will be a way bigger problem than not getting pregnant”
“Also, even if they are not busy with work and are in a fortunate living environment like this Moon Palace, if you hit them with insensitive words such as 「you’re still not getting pregnant huh」 or 「you only ever give birth to girls」 when they cannot quite get a child, the women will be emotionally hurt, and that alone will make it harder to get pregnant. In order to get pregnant, a stable mind is more important than the technicalities”
“It is something so tedious huh……”
Otou-sama ends up making a serene face and going into thought.
“Yes. It is not so easy to be blessed with a child. What is important is how much Otou-sama loves the Okaa-samas, and how you treat them with care. Please think about it as ‘it all comes down to these'”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. How marvellous! I, am touched!”
“Me too. Thank you!”
“Tsukuyomi-sama is a true saviour”
The Okaa-samas, conveyed their touched emotions and gratitude to me one after another. First, I have to have them get pregnant according to plan. Honestly speaking, for the sex selection, the chances of sex selecting a boy with just these is quite low though. But it’s better than not doing it after all.
Now then, it’s the start of full-fledged family planning.
