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 212: Sports Festival

Chapter 212: Sports Festival

The news of Airi becoming my wife spread through the class… no, the whole school, in no time.

It’s probably because Airi’s so popular and had sworn off marriage, yet ended up becoming my wife.

“Hey! Airi-chan, what’s the deal!? How’d you become Yuki-kun’s wife!?”

“Well… I wasn’t planning on marriage, but Yukki totally won me over!”

“Traitor!”

“S-Sorry? If it’s not about Yukki, I’ll help you out, okay?”

“How do you get close to Oyodo-kun!? How’d you pull it off!?”

“For me, I was already tight with Yukki’s wife, Sigusigu, so we just… got closer, and it flowed to the goal… kinda?”

That’s how it went, with people from all classes hounding Airi, and she’s frantically dealing with it.

Meanwhile, Sanbi, Alice, and Kyoka—

“Airi-san, please help me with Yuki-sama…”

“Airi, pave the way for an eternal engagement with my companion.”

“As Airi-sama is now a wife, please secure a maid slot for me.”

They’ve started relying on Airi even more.

Airi, for her part, comes to my house every day off when she’s not working, adding some sparkle to the place. But she’s always bickering with Umi, Shigure, and Sakura over me—or rather, over positions.

“Today, I get the front!”

“The front’s the first wife’s privilege!”

“No such privilege. I’m sitting in front.”

“Big sister wants to pet from the front, so I get it!”

It’s all “waa” and “kya,” super lively.

In class, since Airi became my wife, they rearranged seats, and she’s now behind me.

Is it normal for wives to sit around me?

Well, guess that’s how it works. It’s nice having her close to talk to!

Anyway, those fun days roll on, my injury heals, June hits—

“Alright, everyone, the sports festival starts next week, so let’s decide which events you’ll join.”

In homeroom, Nanahashi-sensei explains the upcoming sports festival.

Events include ball toss, cavalry battle, relay, tug-of-war, 100-meter dash, obstacle course, and more.

But…

“Sensei.”

“Yes, Oyodo-kun?”

“Can I participate?”

“Uh… I’ve never heard of boys joining regular events.”

Yeah, figured!!

“But there’s a boys-only event.”

“Oh! Really!?”

“Yes, you can run in the scavenger hunt. It’s up to the boys to join.”

S-Scavenger hunt… That’s kinda… lame, right?

“Um, what about something where I team up with the class?”

“I’ve never heard of that…”

“I see…”

“But, Oyodo-kun, there’s something I’d like you to do…”

“What’s that?”

“I want you to give the opening pledge as the boys’ representative.”

“Sure, that’s fine…”

“Really!? Every year, picking someone takes forever, so you’re a lifesaver!”

“…That’s cool, but can I really not join any events?”

“…Oyodo-kun, sometimes you gotta know when to give up.”

Just the scavenger hunt? That’s too sad!

“Why do you wanna join so bad, Yuki?”

Shigure, sitting next to me, looks exasperated.

“It’s a school event, so of course I wanna participate!”

“Really? It doesn’t affect academics.”

“Maybe not, but… you know, at job interviews, they ask about fun school memories, right? You gotta have good answers, so it’s better to take it seriously.”

“Is that how it works?”

“Oyodo-kun, you’re spot on. Those questions do come up in job interviews. Did you read that somewhere?”

Crap, I answered too casually, and Nanahashi-sensei called me out.

“Uh, yeah, something like that.”

In my past life, when I started a job, they asked about sports festivals, culture festivals, what I did, what was fun…

“But the scavenger hunt’s important too. It can earn points for your team, so boys’ participation actually matters.”

“I’m fine joining it… but I’d love to do other events too?”

“Hmm… If you’re that insistent, I’ll check on it.”

“Thanks!”

“Yay, Yuki-kun!”

“Yukki’s super pumped!”

Sakura and Airi cheer with me.

“If I’m doing it, I gotta have fun!”

“Sigh… Joining’s fine, but no going solo. You’re with one of us.”

Shigure puts a damper on my excitement.

“Why not?”

“Horny bitches will take the chance to cling to you.”

Is there even an event where people cling like that…?

No clue, but I’ll nod for now.

“Alright, alright. I’ll join with you, Shigure, Sakura, or Airi, okay?”

“Exactly.”

“So, Sensei, please make sure I can join events with someone.”

“Got it. We’ll assume Oyodo-kun can participate for now and pick athletes. If it’s not allowed, we’ll adjust later.”

And that’s how I managed to squeeze my way into participating.
