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 235: Money is Power Second

Chapter 235: Money is Power Second

Summer.

I believe it’s a crucial period for students.

It varies from person to person, of course—for exam candidates, it’s a time of intense studying to widen the gap with their peers.

For those dedicated to club activities, the increased practice time allows them to condition their bodies for upcoming tournaments.

In my past life, I played basketball, and we had training camps where we ran endlessly along the beach.

Well, I ended up collapsing from heatstroke because I couldn’t handle the heat… but if I call it a good memory, then it was one.

And then there’s romance, which I never experienced in my previous life—a summer influenced by the sense of liberation, where a fleeting mistake blossoms into nurtured love and cherished happy memories.

In the limited three years of high school life, such joyful recollections etch themselves deeply into your mind.

Should we really approach summer vacation without a plan, just going with the flow?

No.

That’s how I failed in my past life.

I regretted those days spent solely on club activities with no forethought.

Therefore, this time, I must fully savor summer to the utmost.

With limited time and limited encounters, I need to cherish each one and make them come to fruition.

That’s why, on the first day of summer break, I’ve gathered everyone to sit on the floor around the table in my room.

“Why the furrowed brow, Onii-chan? What are you thinking about?”

The one calling me Onii-chan is my stepsister, Oyodo Umi.

She’s sitting to my left.

With her black ponytail, she’s not particularly tall, but she boasts impressively developed breasts. She’s my cute first wife, always tempting me with her expressive faces.

She shows a wide range of expressions in front of me, but apparently, she’s poker-faced when I’m not around.

I haven’t witnessed that side since we met, so I wouldn’t know the truth.

“I think we need to make this summer vacation the absolute best it can be.”

“Uh-huh, go on?”

“I want to list out everything we want to do and plan it all out meticulously.”

“What exactly do you have in mind?”

Sitting to my right is my childhood friend and second wife, Sakama Shigure.

She has red straight semi-long hair, slightly upturned eyes, and the aura of a cool beauty.

Her breasts are growing under my care, and she has an excellent figure overall.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I raised Shigure’s chest… no, actually, that might be overstating it. It’s only gone up one cup size so far!

Still, judging by the growth rate, her future potential is outstanding—at least, that’s what I’m convinced of.

“Things unique to summer, like going to fireworks festivals or summer fairs… and what else?”

“Aren’t those two pretty much the same? What about beach trips?”

“Oh! That’s right! I want to see everyone in their swimsuits!”

“You see us in our underwear all the time anyway, so swimsuits shouldn’t be anything new, right?”

“No, it’s different! Underwear and swimsuits are completely different!”

“How so?”

“The materials are different, and the designs are totally distinct, aren’t they?”

“Is it really just about the physical differences?”

“Well, underwear is basically focused on functionality or meant to be seen by me, right? Swimsuits are more about fashionable wear for the water, with a huge variety of styles. I want to gaze at you all, Shigure and everyone, in those open outdoor settings.”

“I see. Well, that’s fine. Let’s go shopping soon. Someone groped my chest without holding back, so my old ones don’t fit anymore anyway.”

“Beach trips and… I’d also like to hit the pool! Since I want both, pick out two suits.”

“You want to do both? Understood. I’ll choose ones that match your tastes, but you’ll have to cover the cost. Swimsuits aren’t cheap, you know.”

“Leave that to me.”

“Everything we’ve talked about so far is outdoors, isn’t it? How about museums, aquariums, art galleries? Or events like visiting hometowns?”

Sitting across from me is Shindou Sakura… or more precisely, Oyodo Sakura.

She used money to exploit the Ministry of Male Protection’s sister program and became my sister as well as my third wife.

She’s about my height, with silky blonde long hair reaching her waist. It must be a hassle to maintain, but her careful grooming makes it stunningly beautiful.

Among us, her breasts are by far the largest, and her selfish body produces milk that’s squeezable due to her constitution.

They weren’t that prominent before, but after we became intimate, they’ve developed enough to suckle from.

“We could also all get together and knock out our summer homework.”

“That’s true. But I don’t get art at all, so I doubt I’d enjoy museums or art galleries one bit.”

『Exactly! I’m a model, so I figure I have some aesthetic sense, but the meaning behind those weird paintings in galleries? Total mystery to me!』

My phone is on the table in speaker mode.

The voice coming through belongs to Momozono Airi, who recently became my fourth wife.

She has pink semi-long hair with waves starting around her neck.

Her big, expressive eyes make her adorable, and her impish smile lets her get along with anyone—a high-spec gal through and through.

She used to be innocent about matters of sex, but after spending time with us, she graduated from being a Pyura.

I figured she’d come crashing at my place for summer break, but she’s tied up with modeling work today. This is her on a break, calling in.

『Summer means vacation, right? We could all go somewhere together, camp out, do a barbecue and fireworks at night—that’d make us fully immerse in summer break!』

“Camping! That sounds great! I’ve never done it before, so I’m sure it’d be a blast!”

『Right!? Swimsuits at the beach are fun, but in the mountains, we could wear them in the river like a natural pool. You’d get to see the swimsuits you mentioned too, Yukki!』

“Wearing swimsuits in the mountains at this time of year is basically asking to get mosquito-bitten. Even if it’s for Yuki, I refuse mountain swimsuits. I don’t want him seeing my body covered in red welts everywhere, and the itching would ruin the fun midway. If we’re going to the mountains, we’ll dress properly—no swimsuits.”

“If it’s a clean river, wouldn’t that work? In clean rivers, there are creatures that eat mosquito larvae before they hatch, and fast-flowing, deep waters make it hard for mosquitoes to breed anyway.”

“Where would we even find a spot that convenient?”

“I’ll look into it. Besides, we haven’t decided on mountain camping yet.”

“Whether mountains or beach, let’s pick somewhere with no people around. Onii-chan will probably swim too, so swimsuits it is, and with all sorts of eyes on us, the bitch dogs would go into heat right away.”

“…I’m very interested in that side of things, but we need to scout locations first, so it’ll have to wait. Beach or pool should be good to start with.”

“Aren’t pools and beaches both packed with people? It’s not that easy to choose.”

“Then how about summer fairs or fireworks festivals?”

“Those are mid-August. You know the spot, right? The shrine we went to recently.”

“Oh yeah, you mentioned that… So, for something we can do right away…”

“We could do museums or whatever, but Yuki-kun doesn’t seem thrilled. Outings require preparation anyway, and it’s dangerous with just us girls, so we’ll need adult help. Realistically, mid-August or later makes sense.”

“…Reality is such a drag.”

“Onii-chan, you should ask Mama to clear her schedule around mid-August.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that… Ah, but then we’re super free until then.”

“If we finish all our homework by mid-August, we’ll have plenty of leeway afterward.”

“Exactly. Let’s wrap up the homework first so we’re free later.”

“For the beach trips or camping, I can rely on my family to make it happen. My sisters will probably tag along, though.”

『Sakusaku’s family means a private beach, right? We could do anything there—no need to look elsewhere!』

“We do have one, but it’s used for entertaining guests sometimes, so I need to check availability. I’ll follow up later.”

“Hmm… Well, it’s not like we have to do homework nonstop. We can hang out with everyone at a good time.”

“…Occasionally is fine, but not too often, Onii-chan.”

“Oh, so you’re finally allowing me to expand my circle of friends a bit?”

“If I tie you down too much, you’ll just secretly add more behind my back. If you make new acquaintances or friends, report it immediately! If you overdo it, we’ll hold a trial and sentence you to life imprisonment. Mama will be the judge, and she’ll happily lock you up.”

“Got it, got it! For now, though, I want to focus on deepening bonds with the friends I already have.”

『Ah, my break’s almost over—message me on Beam once plans are set! Not coming today, but tomorrow for sure!』

“Righto, Airi! Good luck with work!”

『Whee!』

With Airi heading back to work, the four of us were about to refine our plans—

Ding-dong.

“I’ll get the door.”

Sakura stood up and headed to the entrance.

“Umi, are there any pools around here we could go to?”

“There’s a public pool in the neighboring town for women, but I don’t know if men are allowed.”

“Women-only pools? Do those even exist?”

“I’ve never heard of them, and you don’t hear about men at pools either.”

“Then couldn’t I just go in normally?”

“That’s the thing—normal places are swarming with bitch dogs!”

“With you all by my side, it should be fine, right? No way I’d get kidnapped in public.”

“We’d be too busy dealing with and watching the bitch dogs to actually have fun with Onii-chan!”

“You’re on monitoring duty too…? Wait, what about pools run by the Ministry of Male Protection?”

“I’ve heard of those, but are there any nearby? Let me check locations.”

“I’ll take care of that for you.”

Tracing the voice to the door—

“Oh? Welcome, Shino. What brings you here?”

There stood Kuon Shino, arms crossed with a smug expression.

Shino is a second-year at our school, one year ahead, and incredibly wealthy.

She’s not the stereotypical rich girl from manga who says something like, “This three-seater car? No room for you.”

Rather, she’s the kind ojou-sama who thinks, “Why not prepare another one? I’ll handle it.”

Her signature look is long, wavy purple hair, and her breasts rival Sakura’s in size.

She’s been a big help to us lately.

“I’ve come to pay my respects.”

“Respects?”

Ahem… “From today onward, your new neighbor, Kuon, has moved in next door. Please, let’s all get along as good neighbors.”

“””…What?”””

Shino’s words left me, Umi, and Shigure frozen in place.

“This woman went and bought the house next door with her money. What a tasteless way to throw it around.”

Sakura was scolding Shino, ignoring our stunned state.

“Isn’t that unfair coming from you, Sakura-san? Didn’t you use money to become Yuki-kun’s sister?”

“Becoming a sister doesn’t inconvenience anyone, but in Shino-san’s case, you’re bothering the neighbors.”

“I offered a proper, agreeable amount. Enough for a single person to live comfortably without working. The previous owners left with smiles on their faces.”

“Would anyone go that far just to get close to a boy?”

“Do you know what a boomerang is? It’s hitting you hard right now.”

“Sisters are immune to boomerangs!”

…The scale of wealth in this world is on another level.
