"Congratulations! It's a boy!"

They could hear the obstetrician's voice coming from the speaker.

In this world, investigating the gender of a fetus before birth is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, the gender is revealed for the first time in life.

　38th Administrative District, 4th City, 1425 Village. Land name: Sakihara.

This village, located on a plateau near northern this country, is a normal-sized farming village with a population of about 100 people, all of whom are women except for one man.

Even though it is a rural village, much of the work is mechanized, and the villagers have a comfortable life and are in good health.

It's a normal village you can find anywhere in this country.

In such a village, a healthy boy was born at the Sakisaka family's house on the afternoon of January 10th in the middle of winter.

The baby was delivered safely by remote delivery by an obstetrician.

The Sakisaka family members, Yuri, Sakura, and Tomoe, surrounded Aya in a compact pool-type medical facility for childbirth that was brought in prior to the birth, and watched over her childbirth, and were happy that the child was born safely.

However, since the baby was a boy, the villagers who had heard about it rushed in from the neighborhood before the family could enjoy the joy.

"Congratulations! And it's a boy?"

"Isn't it amazing! It's a big deal."

"I bet you haven't thought of a boy's name, let's all come up with one!"

"Hurry up and show me, I've never seen a baby boy before!"

The villagers broke into the house all at once.

"Shut up, you idiot! Let Aya and the baby calm down first! Everyone wait in the big room!"

Grandma Yuri yelled loudly at the villagers and chased them away from the front of the room.

Then, she instructed Tomoe and Sakura to operate the machine and fill the pool with adjusted hot water, wash Aya and the baby, take them out, wipe their bodies together with the baby, wrap them in warm hospital clothes, and put them to bed. The umbilical cord is automatically removed.

"Aya, you did a great job. Both parent and child are healthy."

Grandma Yuri, an internal medicine doctor, talked to Aya while looking at the records on the monitor.

"Thank you. I'm happy that you were born safely."

Aya held the baby, who had stopped crying and was sleeping soundly, and smiled.

"He's such a cute baby. I've never seen a baby boy before. He has silver hair after all."

"That's true. It's my first time giving birth to a boy, too. His eyes were light blue."

Tomoe and Sakura looked into the baby and spoke their honest thoughts.

"It still takes time for things to stabilize after giving birth. Aya, please take a good rest."

Grandma Yuri said as she took the small pool out of the room, let Tomoe and Sakura clean the room a little, put the baby in the incubator, looked at Aya lying on her bed, and left the room. Since her parent and child's physical condition is controlled by the machine, Aya falls asleep immediately.

"What are you doing?"

When she went to a large room built for people to gather, she found that the villagers were writing words on paper with brush and ink, and there was no place to step.

"Well, I'm sure we're thinking of a name for your child."

"It seems so"

"We don't know what a good name for a boy would be. We're all thinking about it together."

Everyone's faces are smeared with ink, probably because they brought out their calligraphy tools.

They could have just used an electronic panel, but they were probably trying to create a playful atmosphere.

"We'll come up with a name for our child."

Maybe it's because she's the only doctor in the village, but 83-year-old old lady Yuri has the skin of a boss.

"Eh! That's not true! He's the first boy in this village! We want everyone to come up with a name for him."

"It seems so"

"What would be a good name for a boy?"

"I have to ask Ryuzo as well. I have to call Otoyama's place quickly."

They are having a lively discussion, leaving the Sakisaka family alone.

In fact, Grandma Yuri doesn't know the boy's name very well either, so it's annoying that she can't be too malicious about it.

"Well, even though Aya is the one who makes the final decision, it would be a good idea to take a look at her candidates."

"That's right, no one expected it to be a boy, so I don't think Aya was prepared either."

Tomoe and Sakura followed suit, so Grandma Yuri decided to accept the villagers' opinion.

"Well, let's have some food for now. You can eat whatever you like."

Grandma Yuri called out to the villagers, had a late lunch with Tomoe and Sakura, and prepared a large amount of food for the villagers.

"This is good."

When Aya, who was holding a baby, picked up a piece of paper, cheers erupted.

The words "Yu Sakisaka" were written there.

"What I thought was correct! Yay!"

"Yeah, yeah, that's a nice name!"

"Isn't it nice, a kind boy?"

"I'm sure he'll grow up to be a good boy."

"It seems so"

After three days of heated debate among the villagers, Aya chose this name from hundreds of candidates.

"Yes, that's a good name. I'm relieved that we finally decided on a name for this child."

"Yes, I think it's a good name."

"As his name suggests, he's sure to be a kind child."

It's a name that everyone in the Sakisaka family agrees with.

"Yuu, please grow up to be a good child. You are our precious family."

Aya spoke gently to the baby, who was sleeping soundly on her chest.

The day after Yuu Sakisaka's name was registered through the city, three women visited the Sakisaka family.

''This is Yuki Arimura, Third Class Male Protection Officer of the 38th Branch of the Cabinet Male Protection Bureau.

I think you were surprised by our sudden visit, but thank you for agreeing to the interview."

"No, I was expecting it, so I was mentally prepared."

"It would be helpful if you could say that."

In the drawing room, the entire Sakisaka family was sitting together on the sofa in front of the three third class protection officers.

"Are you aware of the purpose of protecting boys?"

"Yes, of course. We can't raise him healthy on our own."

"As long as you understand, there is no problem. Please rest assured that we will take good care of you. We will pick him up in ten days from tomorrow. We can accompany you to the sanctuary on that day, so please let us know."

Aya and the others talked with the protection officer and decided on future dates.

"Just to be sure, are there any cases where child rearing doesn't go well?"

When Grandma Yuri asked the protection officer,

''Although there are some fluctuations in personality and character, there are no cases of failure as the girls are allowed to grow up, just like in raising a girl.In fact, we occasionally see problems arising when they live with the general public after becoming adults.

In most such cases, the problem lies in the behavior of the citizen, so it is usually not considered that the man himself is at fault.

Still, in order to protect men, we place emphasis on providing preventive education specific to boys from an early age, so that we can minimize the number of troubles that may occur after they become adults."

That's what the protection officer answered.

''No one doubts the track record of the Probation Bureau.We cannot educate men, so please help us.''

"We appreciate your trust in us. Please rest assured that we will do our best to live up to your expectations."

After such an exchange, the future schedule was communicated.

''After 10 days, he will be admitted to an infant facility and will live together with a second-class male protection officer and the male infants, and will not be able to see him until the end of the year when he turn three.During that time, once a month, a report with photos will be sent to you. The situation will be communicated to you.However, unusual behavior may be beyond your ability to accept, so it may not be communicated.

At the beginning of the year when the child turns four, a first-class male protection officer is assigned exclusively to them and the child leaves the infant facility. Each boy will live independently in a male protection area with a dedicated first-class male protection officer. There, you will be able to meet once a month, and each visit will last approximately three hours.

After the 8-year-old second grade year of elementary school ends, they will live in the general citizen section. They will continue to live together with a first-class male protection officer in the civilian section. As a general rule, the place of residence in the general citizen section is the area where the parents live, so the residence will be set near the Sakisaka family.

However, please note that he will not be able to live with his family and will be required to live with a first-class male protection officer. The main point of living and child rearing will be the residence with the first class male protection officer.

Also, depending on the individual's circumstances, the person may live in another area.

The child will continue to live with the first-class male protection officer until the end of the academic year when he reaches the age of 18, and may be sent to school for education during that time, but this will depend on the situation.

As a general rule, he will live with his family after becoming an adult, so please consider his family structure and other preparations. However, in cases where the person goes on to university or engages in some kind of activity, or when adjusting the number of male partners, the person may not be able to live with the person due to his wishes.

For more details, please check the Men's Protection Bureau website and notices from the Bureau."

Aya and the others listened while nodding, but since they had the knowledge beforehand, they were not upset.

"Then I will spend the next ten days carefully with this child."

"Yes, I think that's fine. I'll come pick him up in ten days."

After saying that, the protection officers left.

"This child cries, laughs, and has a lot of emotions. I wonder if boys are like this."

"And he looks right into our eyes. I wonder if he is thinking about something."

"I can't believe it, it's just unusual. When I show it to him, he stares at it intently, almost desperate. I guess it's very curious."

"When I look at him like this, I can see that he's somehow different from girls."

The villagers keep coming to the Sakisaka house to see Yuu, and Aya and the others also observe Yuu and share their impressions.

In this world, maximum efforts were made to equip men with a "masculine personality."

This was thought to be related to the survival of humanity in a world where men were extremely rare.

Because a ''masculine personality'' cannot be developed in an environment surrounded by women, it was accepted as a matter of course for boys to be raised by the Probation Bureau from an early age.
