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 232: Who's the Mad Dog?

Chapter 232: Who’s the Mad Dog?

After spending a week holed up as a shut-in, just when I was thinking I’d go back to normal school attendance starting tomorrow, I got a call from Shino.

“Yuki, I’ll have my car take you there.”

“Ah, I heard Fridays are still crowded, but will tomorrow be crowded too?”

“It will be crowded. The rumors are spreading like wildfire, and there’s a crowd at the school gate every day. The academy was closed yesterday and today… even though only club kids were coming to school, there were quite a few people wandering around in front of the gate.”

“For real…?”

“For real. The bad-quality ones are even grabbing commuting students, desperately trying to find people connected to you.”

“Oh…”

“Well, those kinds of people are getting nabbed by the police and hauled off. So, wouldn’t it be safer to ride in my car?”

“Yeah, sorry to trouble you, but I’ll take you up on it.”

“You’re welcome. Even after passing the gate, students will probably swarm you, so the student council folks are planning to escort you all the way to your class.”

“Ehhh…? Isn’t that overkill?”

“It might be, but better safe than sorry. Oh, and Sarina-senpai’s message: once you’re in class, students will show up in the hallways trying to see you, so absolutely don’t respond. You’re also forbidden from leaving the classroom.”

“…That much?”

“If you respond to even one person, the others will demand the same, and it’ll spread through the whole school, which is no good.”

“I see…”

“By the way, she said if you do respond, they’ll chain you to the student council room or the infirmary.”

“Why is it that whenever I get involved, everyone wants to chain me up? Am I = chains or something?”

“You chain up a fierce dog, right?”

“Am I a fierce dog…?”

“Something like that, isn’t it? Every incident you get involved in spreads through the whole school and turns into a commotion. ‘A dog that walks gets hit by a stick,’ as they say—and that’s exactly you right now.”

“Wan wan.”

“Fufu, if you’re a good boy, I’ll give you a reward, so behave yourself?”

“A reward?”

“Yes, when lunchtime comes, don’t go to the cafeteria—wait in the classroom.”

“? Got it.”

“Yes, then see you tomorrow. Farewell.”

“Farewell~.”

So, I can go to school, but I’m not even allowed to leave the classroom…?

“Yuki-kun, from Shino-san?”

As I finished the call, Sakura—who had finished her test studying and was lounging while leaning on me—spoke up.

“She says she’ll pick me up starting tomorrow again.”

“Tomorrow will probably be crowded too, so they’re being cautious. Well, let’s let Shino-san do the pickup.”

“Why do you sound kinda high and mighty, Sakura?”

“Shino-san is contacting you because she wants more chances to interact with you, Yuki-kun. If she hadn’t called, I was planning to contact the Shindou family and get a car sent over.”

“I see.”

“We haven’t talked much about school this week, but kids from other classes or other years keep coming to try and talk to you, Yuki-kun? Shigure-chan was in noh-mask mode ignoring them, though.”

“Who’s in noh-mask mode? I was just ignoring them because they were annoying.”

Shigure, sitting on the opposite side of Sakura, had also finished studying and was lounging.

By the way, today I’m sleeping with Shigure and Sakura, so Umi isn’t here.

“Aira-chan is friendly, so she politely turned them down. Tomorrow when you go to school, Yuki-kun, the class kids will definitely beg for autographs or whatever, but don’t respond! Even just to classmates—if you do it for them, they’ll trade favors with other classes or something, and it’ll spread badly. Salt them, okay?”

“Classmates… does that mean Sanbi or Alice or Kyoka-chan too?”

“No responding inside the class. If you really wanna give one, do it somewhere no one’s watching, or mail it to them.”

“I even practiced my signature…”

“With this level of influence, even that’s no good.”

“Yuki is a fierce dog, so behave yourself.”

“Woo… wan wan!”

“Here, pochi, time to sleep. Bed!”

“Pochi-kun, let’s go night-night~.”

I tried rebelling like a fierce dog, but they ignored me and dragged me straight to bed for sleep.

The next morning.

After finishing preparations to head to the academy, Shino picked me up by car right on schedule, so I got in and we headed out.

We were chatting about nothing important when suddenly the academy came into view…

“…That’s a lot, huh?”

Near the academy, besides the commuting students, there were regular adults and people with cameras milling about everywhere.

They must know they’d get yelled at for blocking traffic, since they’re sticking to the edges.

“A lot, huh.”

“Quite a few.”

“As expected. We’ll go straight inside the academy by car.”

Seeing all these people gathered… yeah, people in this world really have high facial value!

Everyone I see has attractive features and builds.

From loli types to sexy types, a wide range searching for me.

I felt a tiny bit regretful, but if I went out here, it’d be chaos, so endure… endure.

At the gate, there were police? Guards? Lined up, making it easier to enter, but the car stopped once in front, the driver talked, and we went inside.

The car stopped near the school building, the door opened—and there were Sarina-senpai and the student council members waiting.

“Good morning, Yuki-kun!”

“Mornin’, Sarina-senpai.”

“Alright, let’s go? We’ll surround you with student council members, but absolutely don’t appeal to the surroundings, okay?”

“Appeal?”

“Like greeting or waving!”

“Even that’s no good!? If I don’t respond, I’ll look like a super rude guy!”

“Not now! If you greet back or wave and people gather, we’ll put a collar and leash on you and drag you to the student council room for confinement.”

“Is the student council room a dungeon?”

“It’s Yuki-kun’s personal dungeon. It’s fine! To keep you from getting bored, someone will come take care of you! You can snack on the caretakers if you want? Of course, I’ll join in too ♡”

Not a dungeon, but a playroom!

This seems way more worthwhile than class.

“That sounds ‘Hey Yuki, stay’ ‘Yuki-kun, let’s do the usual transfer style~'”

Before I could reply, Shigure handcuffed both my hands, Sakura put a big handkerchief over my head, and we went full criminal escort mode.

“Ooooi!? Again!? This method again!?”

“This way you can’t greet, right?”

“No appealing either. Come on, Yuki-kun, let’s head to class~.”

They pulled the handcuffs, forcing me to walk…

The playroom, I wanted to go…!

We proceeded in criminal escort style, passed the shoe lockers, through the hallways, to the class.

I couldn’t see what was around during the move, but clearly tons of people.

Sarina-senpai was saying “Make way, please!” as we went, but picking up the noisy voices from around—

“The student council’s surrounding them, that must be Oyodo-kun!?”

“Maybe! Towel over the head, can’t see the face… Oyodo-kuuun! Look this way~!”

“Oyodo-kun! Autograph… at least let me take a photo together!!”

“Me too, autograph! On my marriage certificate!”

“Oyodo-kun! Wanna merge with me!? Factory sealed new item~!?”

…Sorry, invisible girls, I’m powerless right now.

Finally, they removed the towel from my head, and my seat in class was right there.

The handcuffs came off, and I was free at last.

“””Good morning, Yuki-kun!!!”””

“Yeah! Morning!”

Not sure if they were used to it or expecting it, but this time the class didn’t make surprised noises—they just greeted normally.

“Come on, Yuki, sit in your chair.”

Prompted by Shigure, I sat in my seat, and immediately a pink shadow plopped right onto my lap.
