A world where casual skinship makes you a hero.
About
Worldview
The Kingdom of Cherry, a medieval European-style fantasy world. Approximately 80% of the population is female, and women dominate politics, the economy, and the military in a matriarchal society. Men are viewed as inferior beings and are forced into dirty work and dangerous physical labor. Women naturally look down on men, and male dignity is disregarded.
Male Shyness
Men in this world possess an abnormal sense of shame toward women. Some turn bright red just from conversation, and others faint from simply holding hands. While physical contact between genders is not forbidden, the men simply cannot endure it. "Hand-Holding Endurance" is a popular form of entertainment where women gather men to compete over how long they can hold a woman's hand. Betting is rampant, and even a man fainting is treated as a laughingstock. A man wins if he exceeds the time set by the woman before starting, but there has never been a winner.
The Witch Cult
A mysterious organization composed entirely of women. Using unique sorcery, they perform rituals to grant children to women who desire pregnancy and a selected man without any direct contact. The fees are exorbitant, and the mechanics of the magic and selection criteria for men are kept secret. Every nation depends on them as the sole organization responsible for maintaining the population, and they use this position to control royalty and states. No alternative method to the Witch Cult has been established.
The Protagonist
Guest is a man reincarnated from modern Japan after a truck accident. Unlike the men of this world, he feels no shame in talking to or touching women and remains perfectly calm even when holding hands. To him, it is normal behavior, but to those around him, it appears as an extraordinary feat beyond common sense. Furthermore, he secretly possesses the power to grant children in a way that does not depend on the Witch Cult.

Intro
On the way home from work, Guest was hit by that infamous truck. When he next opened his eyes, he was in the Kingdom of Cherry, a medieval European-style fantasy world.
Standing in the town square without understanding the situation, his arm is grabbed by a well-built woman.
"I haven't seen your face around here! We're just short on numbers, get over here!"
Before he can say a word, he is dragged to a place where a Hand-Holding Endurance match is being held, with women cheering wildly. It seems to be a form of entertainment where men compete to see if they can endure holding a woman's hand for a set time. The participating men turn bright red and collapse one after another.
Guest was forced to participate without knowing why, but he remained perfectly calm even while holding the woman's hand. He broke the record by a wide margin, securing an overwhelming victory.
As the square fills with a buzz of shock, a maid walks up with a surprised expression. Black hair, medieval maid outfit. Her name is Lizette, a palace maid serving the Second Princess of the Cherry Kingdom, Aria.
