It's a Chastity-Reversed World, But It's Different From What I Imagined? - 46

Chapter 46: Protected

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The “perverted woman in the park” event didn’t happen!!! Instead, it was an event where the countryside girl asked me for a handshake.

“…It’s fine, I guess.”

The sense of exhaustion was no joke. I relaxed my guard and approached Mori-san. Even as I held out my hand, I kept just a little bit of caution.

“Waaah, waaah, waaah, really? Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

She pressed her hands together like she was praying to me. Looking timid, Mori-san reached out and poked at my hand with her finger. It was both ticklish and frustrating.

“Waaah, waaah, waaah, it really is hard. And big, too.”

Before I knew it, she was squishing my hand, her small, soft hands kneading and rubbing at my right hand.

“So, uh… What’s your impression after touching it for the first time?”

Not knowing what else to ask, I ended up blurting out a ridiculous question.

“Well, um. Well, um. It was really good~ I guess this is what people mean when they say they’re happy.”

Mori-san let go of my hand, smiling brightly as she gave me her impression. I didn’t know if I should be happy about that or not.

“I see. Well, I guess that’s enough, then?”

“Yeah. Thank you. Men really are kind~~ Alright, I think I can work hard at my job now.”

“Job?”

“That’s right. I came to the city for work. I’m still not used to how people talk here, so I’ve got to study a bit. But being able to meet a man on the very first day in the city… I guess I’ve got good luck, huh?”

Something about the way Mori-san said it warmed my heart, easing the tension I’d had earlier when I met with my mom.

“So, Mori-san, what brought you to the park?”

Since she had only just arrived today, I was curious why she was in a place like this.

“Tomorrow is my first day at work. But I started getting nervous, and I felt homesick for the countryside nature. This park is so wide and nice, y’know.”

She spread her arms wide and inhaled deeply. I found myself copying her without thinking.

“Yeah. It smells a little weird, but… Nature really is nice, huh?”

I only did it because she did, but… It was calming, I had to admit. Though yeah, there was definitely a weird smell…

“Huh?!”

When I followed the smell to its source, I saw a filthy-looking woman standing near me.

“Heheheh! A man! There’s a man here!”

A wild dirty gyaru appeared!

“A man! Hyahhaa!”

Shrieking, the dirty gyaru ran up toward me. Three girls dressed in a flashy, outdated ganguro yamamba style—something from who-knows-what era—surrounded me.

Finally! Is it finally happening? Am I finally going to be assaulted by perverts? But… I’m not thrilled about it.

Their faces weren’t bad. They were pretty decent, actually. But after seeing Mori-san, a pure countryside beauty, these ones just didn’t compare. I called them dirty gyarus, but they didn’t look that young… They were old wom—no, anyway, they didn’t give off any sense of cleanliness. And they kind of stank.

“H-hey, what do you think you’re doing, surrounding a man like that?!”

Seeing me in trouble, Mori-san shouted angrily.

“Hah! Women like you should die! We’re about to have some fun with this guy!”

“That’s right, that’s right! Unlike you stinky country girl! We already made this our turf, and we’re not virgins anymore!”

“Yeah! We’ve already attacked more guys than we can count on both hands!”

That was when it clicked for me. These were the ones from the news. They were the perverts on the report. 

“Attack? You can’t do that to a man! Men are supposed to be protected!”

Mori-san grabbed one dirty gyaru by the shoulder and pulled her away from me. Whether it was because of her strength or her grip, Dirty Gyary C fell on her butt and couldn’t move from the pain.

Mori-san pulled me by the hand and shielded me behind her.

“It’s okay! I’ll(watassu) absolutely protect you!”

“Ooh, did you hear that? She said ‘watassu’! Total country bumpkin vibes, right?”

Dirty Gyaru B muttered lazily, stepping forward and raising her arm to strike Mori-san. I thought Mori-san was about to get hit, so I started forward—only to be stopped by her.

“It’s fine! Stay back!”

Remaining calm, Mori-san grabbed Dirty Gyaru B’s arm and threw her down.

“Huh?”

“I’m actually a bit confident in my judo, you know.”

Seeing the situation turn against them, Dirty Gyaru A tried to run, but Mori-san caught her and choked her out.

“Alright, I’ll take these ones to the police, so you’re safe now.”

Having neatly subdued the trio, Mori-san turned back to me with a calm face. She wasn’t the innocent countryside girl dazzled by the city anymore. Instead, she radiated a strong, dependable strength that left me speechless.

“You’re incredibly strong, aren’t you?”

“Not really. But since I’m not smart, I thought I should get stronger and work in a job where I could protect men.”

Scratching her head in embarrassment as she spoke of her dream, Mori-san seemed to shine.

“Um, my name is Yoru Kurose. Thank you very much for saving me.”

I might have been able to handle it alone. But I didn’t want to reject Mori-san’s kindness.

“Kurose-kun, huh~ You’re really a good person. I could tell when I touched your hand earlier. You’re pretty strong yourself, aren’t you? I thought I might have interfered unnecessarily, but you thanked me properly. That makes me happy.”

Mori-san had known I could have dealt with it myself, yet she still helped me. And instead of holding it over me, she said nothing—she really was the good one.

“For now, there’s a police box just outside the park. Shall we go there together?”

“Yeah. Honestly, dragging three of them by myself would’ve been tough.”

Mori-san and I laughed together as we hauled the three dirty gyarus to the police box. Since perverts had been popping up often in the area lately, the officers treated it as a big achievement, and later on, we were officially commended for it.
