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 35: Let's Go Shopping Together!

Chapter 35: Let’s Go Shopping Together!

Several days had passed since I started going to school.

I was spending peaceful days, getting along well with Umi and Shigure.

Ever since I got that technique book, I was constantly being tempted and my rationality was crumbling. To be honest, the angel of reason in my mind was about to fall into darkness and descend…

It was impossible to resist the temptation every time we took a bath together.

Another change since then was that in the mornings, we would join in on the muscle training sessions, wearing old clothes that we didn’t mind getting dirty. And other than that…

“Onii-chan, do you want to learn self-defense too?”

“It’s not like I really want to learn, but I thought it would be nice if Umi and Shigure could teach me. Is that okay? Lately, you two have been worrying about me a lot, and I thought it would be a good idea to learn just in case.”

“Well, you never know what might happen when you go out, so it’s probably a good idea.”

“Then, will you teach me? Where did you two learn self-defense anyway?”

“We learned it as an after-school club activity.”

“There’s a club for that?”

“Yes, there is. It’s called the Self-Defense Club, and it’s for people who are close to men or who want to protect themselves.”

“I see. I didn’t realize such a club existed.”

“Quite a lot of people join because learning it elsewhere can be quite expensive.”

“Hmm, I see.”

“Then, please teach me too.”

“Sure, I’d appreciate it!”

“Leave it to us!”

And so, I started learning self-defense from Umi and Shigure as well.

A few days passed, and it was now Saturday.

As we had discussed earlier, we were planning to go out to buy training wear, but…

“So, where are we going to buy it?”

“Hmm… If we’re looking for men’s clothing in this area…”

“The only place I can think of is that large shopping mall…”

“Yeah, that place…”

“Is there a problem?”

“When I was in the third or fourth grade, Yuki got lost and was found by several female college students, who gave him lots of kisses. It traumatized him, you know…”

That’s like a real-life older-woman-younger-man fantasy… If that happened to me now, it would be a reward.

“Well, if I get lost, I can just contact you two via Beam, so it’ll be fine.”

“I’ll stay by your side to make sure you don’t get lost in the first place.”

“Ah, Onii-chan, give me your Beam ID too.”

“Sure, here.”

As I said this, I handed my phone to Umi. She skillfully registered her ID and then returned the phone to me.

“I don’t think there’s anywhere else. There might be other places, but it’s probably safer to go to a busier place, so let’s go there.”

“Okay, let’s get ready and head there. Is it far?”

“It won’t take that long by car… Are you planning to walk there?”

“Is that a problem?”

“Haa… Well, it’s fine. We’re here anyway, so let’s walk there. It shouldn’t be a problem since we’re together, right?”

“Onii-chan likes to walk, huh?”

“Exercise is important. You need to exercise to maintain a healthy body.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but… please only go out when we’re with you.”

“I know. Come on, let’s get ready to go.”

And so, the three of us got ready to go out, informed my mother of our destination, and left the house.

I had also asked mom about the credit card, and she said I could use it as long as I didn’t overspend, so I wasn’t too worried about money.

“It feels great to walk on a sunny day like this. It’s cold, but the sunlight makes it warm and comfortable.”

“Do you like the cold, Onii-chan? I’d prefer it to be a bit warmer.”

“Yes, it’s still too cold.”

“So, you two don’t like the cold?”

“I prefer warmer weather.”

“I like the cold, but I prefer the chill of autumn.”

“Hmm, so Umi likes it warmer, and Shigure prefers it a bit chilly.”

“Onii-chan, do you prefer the cold? Do you dislike the heat?”

“Yeah, I used to play basketball in middle and high school, and I once collapsed from the heat. Since then, I haven’t really liked the heat. In the winter, you can just exercise to warm up.”

“Oh, so you played basketball. That’s cool.”

“Yeah. How about we play basketball together sometime?”

“That sounds fun, but with just the three of us, it’s a bit awkward.”

“We can take turns playing and resting. That way, we can take breaks and still have fun.”

“That’s true. But is there even a place where we can play basketball?”

“I don’t know. I’ll look into it next time, and we’ll need to buy a ball too.”

“Thanks!”

“By the way, my hands get so cold in the winter that it’s annoying.”

I looked at Umi, who was rubbing her hands together and blowing on them to warm them up.

“Are you cold? Here, why don’t you hold my hand? It’ll be a bit warmer.”

I offered my hand to her, and Umi, looking surprised, slowly took it and smiled.

“Ehehe, Onii-chan’s hand is warm.”

“I see. That’s good then. How about you, Shigure?”

I offered my other hand to her, making sure to treat them equally.

Shigure looked at my hand with a satisfied smile and took it.

“It’s reassuring to see that you’re thinking about me too.”

“I intend to cherish you as well, and I will definitely consider your feelings.”

“Fufu, yes…”

Walking outdoors with a girl on each side was something I could never have imagined in my previous life…

“By the way, Shigure-nee, what did you bring today?”

“Nothing too special.”

“Rope and ball gags are pretty special, you know?”

“Why are you bringing rope and ball gags? What are you planning to do with them, Shigure…?”

“I didn’t bring a ball gag today. Just the rope and handcuffs.”

“… …”

In this world, was it normal to carry rope around?

With mixed feelings, we headed towards the shopping mall.
