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 156: Running and Chatting Part 1

Chapter 156: Running and Chatting Part 1

After all that happened, we changed into our tracksuits and left the rest area after having lunch.

I asked the receptionist if they could hold onto my bag for a little while, and they kindly agreed.

We walked for about 10 minutes towards the park—

“Oh, is this it?”

A place that looked like a park came into view.

“I think so! We’re still at the end of the park, so the entrance is still ahead!”

Airi said as she kept walking, so we followed her, and after about 5 minutes, we saw the entrance.

“It looks pretty big, huh?”

“Right! Depending on the pace, it takes about 30 minutes to run one lap!”

“Huh. The scenery must be nice, right?”

“Apparently!”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

We said that and stepped into the park.

The park was lush with trees on the side facing the main street, and the whole picture wasn’t quite visible, but once we passed the entrance, the inside was like a different world.

The paved path was beautiful, and the side was covered with grass, where children were playing with balls.

Nearby, mothers were chatting while watching over their children, creating a heartwarming scene.

We walked towards the center of the park, admiring the scenery.

At the center, there were playground equipment, and nearby was a signboard with information about the park.

“It’s so big. So, we’re going to run around the outer perimeter of the park?”

Shigure asked Airi while looking at the signboard.

“Yeah! We’ll go around this way, and then come back this way.”

Airi explained while tracing the path on the map on the signboard, but it seemed like a fair distance.

“I see. Yuki, are we running right away?”

“No, let’s do some light warm-up exercises first.”

“I see, let’s begin.”

We all started doing warm-up exercises.

We focused on our legs, doing warm-up exercises for a few minutes, and after sufficiently loosening up—

“Shall we go?”

Sakura, who was ready, asked.

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go, Onii-chan!”

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s take it slow and enjoy the scenery!”

“Okay!”

And so we started running.

First, we ran west towards the outer perimeter, then went around and ran half a lap back east to return here.

We ran at a fairly slow pace, without pushing ourselves too hard.

As we ran towards the outer perimeter, we passed by fountains and flower gardens.

When we reached the outer perimeter, we turned right at the dead end… and ran north.

The path was well-paved and free of small stones, making it easy to run.

In the distance, we could see people running just like us.

A river flowed to the north, and we ran along its side.

With a glance at the river, the surface was so clear that it reflected the sunlight, and fish of an unknown species were swimming in it.

“It’s beautiful.”

“Yeah, Onii-chan. Are you okay with this pace?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“You were moving around quite a lot in bed just now, but you’re still full of energy.”

“Shigure and Sakura were moving for me.”

“Three times in a row, and then running right away? That’s abnormal, even if you think about it normally.”

“We took a shower, had lunch, and rested enough, though.”

“Is that normal in your world?”

“I don’t know what to say about that… but it’s within the realm of common sense, isn’t it?”

“Are there only people with strong libidos in your world?”

“Of course not! The bar for the people with strong libidos is too low.”

“There might be some people with lower-level strong libidos, though.”

“What do you mean by lower-level? Don’t bring up new elements like that.”

“I can’t help it… tell the author.”

“There are classes like lower-level, middle-level, and upper-level, and the protagonist is special-level, or something like that?”

“You figured it out? Were you reading it too, Onii-chan?”

“I just said that randomly… besides, it’s just an erotic book, but it sure has an unnecessary story.”

“Yeah. It’s basically a battle manga about who can blow up more buildings to win the heroine.”

“It’s a battle manga?”

“I think it’s half a battle manga.”

“… This doesn’t seem like a conversation you’d have while running and enjoying the scenery, does it?”

“I’m not interested in the scenery.”

“Even if you’re not interested in the scenery, don’t you feel the wind or the negative ions when you run?”

“The wind is the wind, isn’t it? I don’t know what negative ions are. Do you, big brother?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Right.”

“But… don’t you feel something special when you’re running in a nice place like this?”

“For me, it’s more important who I’m running with than where I’m running. Running with someone I don’t get along with is just painful.”

“That makes sense.”

“Right?”

“Yeah. But if you’re running with someone you get along with and enjoying the scenery, you can share your impressions of the scenery and have a better time, don’t you think?”

“Hmm, I don’t know.”

“It’s pointless to ask Umi about such things.”

“You don’t know much about Umi yet, but what were you doing when you were with Yuki before?”

“I’m mostly expressionless. I only smiled and acted friendly when I met Yuki.”

“Umi is pretty extreme, huh?”

“Which one is the real Umi?”

“Both are me.”

“I’ve never seen the expressionless Umi. When I met her, she was crying all the time.”

“Onii-chan! Don’t say unnecessary things!”

“Yeah. She was crying for real when she thought Yuki might disappear, and she’s actually quite expressive.”

“Huh, so Umi cries a lot.”

“I thought she was quite expressive, but it seems she has another side to her.”

“… Onii-chan, you’re going to get a Thai kick later.”

“Ouch…”

“A Thai kick is ouch, Umi.”

“You’re just saying the truth, and Yuki’s Thai kick is definitely ouch.”

“So you watch TV and stuff, huh?”

“… I didn’t know what Onii-chan was interested in, so I thought I had to watch famous things to be able to talk to Onii-chan.”

Umi became expressionless as if she was remembering the past.
