I Came to a World Where the Concept of Chastity is Reversed, so I Tried to Change my Job to a Playboy, but the Interference is Intense. Please Help me. - Chapter 14: Yuki's Room
Chapter 14: Yuki’s Room
When I opened the door, it was pitch dark. I couldn’t see anything.
For now, I thought to turn on the light and groped around near the entrance. Finding the switch, I pressed it, and the room lit up.
“So this is my room.”
Looking around, it was cleaner than I expected.
Did I clean it regularly?
Being a shut-in, it seems I had plenty of things to pass the time with.
“It’s relatively clean.”
“Yeah, it’s cleaner than I thought, but…”
In the corner of the room, there were two garbage bags, and on the desk, there were empty instant noodle cups stacked up and about five empty plastic bottles next to them.
“The contents of the garbage bags… really just seem to be trash.”
“Yuki, eating only instant noodles is bad for your health, you know?”
“Well, saying that to the current me doesn’t help…”
“Onii-chan, your bed kind of smells…”
“Again, saying that to the current me doesn’t help…”
My previous self, you’re getting criticized a lot.
“It feels stuffy, so I’ll open the window, okay?”
Before I knew it, Shigure had moved to the window and opened the curtains, revealing the view outside.
“The next house is really close, it looks like you could just step over to the other room.”
“Yes, the room you see from the window is mine. I used to come over to this room at night when I was little.”
“Really?”
“Yes, it was thrilling to cross over when I was young… but now it seems easy.”
“…Do you plan to cross over again?”
“I could wake you up in the morning and we could go to school together?”
Having a childhood friend come to wake you up from the window in the morning sounds like a template for a romantic comedy, but as someone who didn’t have a childhood friend in my past life, it’s an enviable event. Rejecting it is not an option.
“Please do.”
“Good, being straightforward is nice.”
“Onii-chan, I’ll take the sheets and pillowcases to the laundry.”
Looking over, I saw that she had already removed the sheets from my bed before I could respond.
“Ah, thanks. Do we have any spares?”
“…No.”
“Huh, we don’t?”
“No, we don’t. Absolutely not.”
Why emphasize that we don’t have any?
“I see, well, I guess I can manage for one day without them.”
“Are you planning to sleep as is?”
“Yes.”
“Of course not.”
“It’s just for one day, it should be fine.”
“Onii-chan, your wetness will soak into the mattress.”
“Wetness? You could just say sweat!”
“You often drooled in your sleep, Onii-chan.”
My previous self!!
“R-really… But I haven’t drooled in the hospital, so it should be fine.”
“Tch… noisy…”
“Umi!?”
“Enough! You’re not sleeping here!”
Since coming into this room, Umi’s mood seems off.
“Why are you angry? Fine, fine. Where should I sleep then? Should I sleep on the living room sofa?”
“I won’t let you do that. You’re sleeping with me.”
“With you!?”
“Yes, we’ve been sleeping together for you to get used to girls, so it’s no problem.”
I feel like I’m being set up, but I don’t want to anger Umi, so I’ll do as she says.
“Got it, I’ll be in your care.”
“Yep, I’ll take good care of you♪”
“By the way, there are quite a few things in Yuki’s room now.”
Turning towards Shigure, I saw her holding a dumbbell. Did my previous self work out in this room?
“That’s true. By the way, I’ve been curious about that for a while now. What is that?”
I approached the item and picked it up.
“Did I have a cosplay hobby? Women’s clothes and a blonde wig…”
“Oh, that’s Yuki’s disguise for going out.”
“Disguise!?”
“Yes, the previous Yuki had a fear of women, so to avoid unwanted attention, he disguised himself. There are people who’d approach you if they knew you were a man, and in the worst case, you could be taken away.”
“Oh…”
“You seem fine now, but keep it just in case.”
“Yeah, I will.”
Given the stories I’ve heard about men being attacked in this world, it doesn’t seem like a joke. However, as a normal guy, I’m resistant to cross-dressing. I’ll keep it in mind and use it as needed.
“So, looking around like this, do you remember anything?”
“No, not really.”
“I see. If you don’t remember, that’s fine. Let’s take our time.”
“Yeah. I don’t want to accidentally trigger Onii-chan’s trauma.”
“Yeah, thanks, Shigure, Umi.”
As they smiled at me, I felt a strong sense of guilt.
I’d been feeling guilty for a while, but I just pushed it to the back of my mind.
The previous Yuki and I are different.
I don’t know why I’m here instead of the previous Yuki.
That itself doesn’t matter… no, it does matter, but it’s not the issue right now.
What bothers me most is Umi and Shigure.
They care about the previous Yuki, not me.
So, from the previous Yuki’s perspective, it could be considered a form of pseudo-NTR play.
Can I continue to live normally and marry them in the future in this state?
The answer is no.
I wanted a girlfriend and to lose my virginity before I died in my past world.
But I didn’t want to lose it in such a way.
So I—
“Hey… Onii-chan… what’s this…?”
Umi’s trembling voice reached my ears.
“Huh? This?”
“This…”
Umi had found something on the desk and showed it to Shigure and me.
It was a white envelope.
There was only one word written on the front of the white envelope.
“Will…”
“…”
Suddenly, a heavy atmosphere filled the room.
“Onii-chan…”
“Yuki…”
“…”
I didn’t know how to respond. No, there was no way to respond.
But if it was the previous me’s will…
I had to read it.
“Hey, can I read it?”
“…Can I read it too?”
“…Let me… read it too?”
“Okay. Let’s read it together.”
I took the envelope from Umi.
As I pulled out a folded piece of paper, the two of them stood by my sides, ready to read along.
Haa…
Nervously, I unfolded the letter.
At that moment, a blinding light engulfed me, and I closed my eyes.
