“There’s a problem with my sperm… the chances of pregnancy are extremely low. Can you get my wife pregnant? You’re the only one I can ask.” When my best friend told me this, I initially agreed, but to be honest, it was too much of a burden and I was thinking of refusing. Of course, this was an opportunity to have a relationship with Goba-san, who I’d admired since my school days, and to be honest, I wanted to do it, but emotionally I thought it would be difficult. As if she understood my feelings, Goba-san looked me in the eye and invited me. “Is it okay if it’s me…?” When she said that… my reason was easily shaken.
