Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 33: Marine School

Chapter 33: Marine School

“Yuu-kun, did you forget your float?”

“I’m fine.”

On the morning of the marine school trip, before leaving the house, Mana was thoroughly checking to make sure I didn’t forget anything.

This marine school trip didn’t involve staying overnight.

That was probably why Mana allowed me to go.

“Do you have sun oil?”

“I’m good.”

“How about an etiquette bag?”

“I’m good.”

“What about a parasol?”

“I’m fine, I have a hat.”

When will this end?

“Ah, and don’t forget your swimsuit.”

Isn’t this supposed to be a forget-me-not check?

“I don’t plan on ever forgetting that, if I did, nobody would see me near the beach.”

“Heee~”

I tried on the swimsuit I received from Rina and showed it to Mana and Yuuna to see if it suited me, but…

“Well then, let’s all go together next time.”

“Sure.”

That will be fun.

“But are you sure it’s okay? Won’t you be attacked?”

“It’ll be fine.”

That made me a little uneasy.

“Nii~cha! When we get back, let’s get married!”

Yuuna, is that flag-raising a form of harassment?

XXXXX

We arrived at school and headed towards the grounds where the buses were waiting.

There, I found Rina and the others and called out to them.

“Good morning~ Today’s weather is great… You guys have some serious dark circles under your eyes!”

Surprised by my comment, the three of them said,…

“I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.”

“I couldn’t fall asleep because I was looking forward to it.”

“I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.”

Sorry, but I slept well last night, while looking forward to tomorrow.

“So… that’s how it is.”

I couldn’t find the right words to say.

“Yuuto-sama, look around. Everyone else has dark circles under their eyes too…”

Maria pointed out, and when I looked around, I saw students staggering, groaning “Uboa~” and “Uu~”.

Even before we left, they seemed to be in a post-trip state.

“Uwaaaah, everyone, get on the bus~!”

At Miki-T’s call, everyone boarded the bus.

This doesn’t bode well for swimming.

But I got on the bus and took my assigned seat by the window, needless to say.

Asuka sat down next to me.

“Kinoshita-kun, I’m going to sleep.”

“Okay, sweet dreams.”

“Thank you.”

Asuka quietly closed her eyes.

The bus, filled with the entire class, departed.

I decided to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

The bus was unusually quiet. Normally, you’d expect to hear a few conversations, but there was none.

I glanced at the sleeping Asuka.

Her body swayed left and right with the movement of the bus.

It was dangerous to leave her like that, so I pulled the lever at my feet to recline the seat backward.

(Now she’ll be safe.)

With that, I turned my gaze back to the window.

(Hmm… I thought you’d lend me your shoulder, but… what a shame.)

XXXXX

‘Waaahhh!’

As soon as we got off the bus, we were greeted by a bustling beach, the sun reflecting beautifully off the sea, filling our vision.

The girls exclaimed in delight at the sight.

I coolly thought to myself, “Hmm, not bad.”

“Okay, everyone, change into your swimsuits and gather quickly~!”

Gyorohh!

Miki-T’s unnecessary comment drew everyone’s attention towards me.

It was truly regrettable.

“It’s fine, I brought my swimsuit, so don’t worry~!”

‘Hoo…’

So, you really wanted to see my swimsuit that much?

I headed to the boys’ changing room and quickly changed into my swimsuit.

I also applied some sun oil.

I decided to wear a shirt on top, just in case there were other visitors.

After leaving the changing room, I checked my surroundings and waited at the entrance, ready to dash back inside if anything happened.

I put on a wig, a hat on top of that, and sunglasses to complete the look of a suspicious woman (or man, in this case).

To make myself even more suspicious, I kept my head down.

After a while, a patrolling officer approached me and said,…

“Hey, you’ve been standing in front of the boys’ changing room for a while. Can I ask you a few questions?”

“If you don’t talk, it’ll be a problem. What are you doing here?”

“I’m waiting for an acquaintance.”

“In front of the boys’ changing room?”

“Yes.”

“So, what do you do for a living?”

“I’m a student. Um, I’m in third grade.”

“Third grade… Even if you’re meeting someone, it’s not a good idea to wait in front of the boys’ changing room. If a man comes out, you might be mistaken for a stalker, so please wait somewhere else…”

“Yuuto-kun~!”

I heard Rina’s voice and turned to see her, Asuka, and Maria.

“Sorry, they’re here, so I’ll be going now!”

“Ah!”

I immediately ran away from the officer and towards the three girls.

“Did that person do something to you?”

“No, it’s just that my appearance was suspicious, so I was being questioned and treated like a stalker.”

“Is that so?”

“Haha, even if I tried to run away, they wouldn’t let me go. It’s a police interrogation, and if they find out I’m a man, I’ll be surrounded by women.”

“Yuuto-kun…”

“I’ve already been questioned in the double digits!”

“We understand how you feel, Yuuto-sama, so let’s stop.”

Ah… how unfortunate.

Policewoman, I won’t forgive you!

But thank you for your hard work as always.

“By the way, Yuuto-kun. Your swimsuit… it, it really suits you!”

“It’s perfect for Yuuto-sama!”

“……”

“Oh… well, thanks. Hey, Asuka?”

I felt a bit embarrassed.

But Asuka, who had been standing there alone since earlier, didn’t react even when I waved in front of her.

“Yuu-kun, Asuka-chan fainted!”

“It’s true! Yuuto-sama’s swimsuit is… it’s just, it’s really, it’s… it’s too much, so be careful!”

“Huh?”

“It’s true! Yuuto-kun’s swimsuit is… it’s, it’s seriously, it’s… it’s dangerous, so be careful!”

With blood dripping from her nose, she made a very convincing argument.

“Your nose is bleeding. Use a tissue.”

As I took a tissue out of my bag and tried to hand it to her, Maria stopped me with her hand.

“Wait, Yuuto-sama. Don’t come any closer, or you’ll make me bleed even more.”

Apparently, the two of them also found it too stimulating.

Even now, blood was still dripping from their noses, staining the ground around their feet.

“I see, I’m sorry.”

I really shouldn’t have come to the marine school, I thought.

“By the way, Yuuto-kun, why are you looking away?”

“Huh? It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

“But Yuuto-sama. I want you to see my swimsuit.”

“Me too!”

“Wait, Yuuto…kun, look at mine too.”

The three of them, who had told me not to come closer a moment ago, were now closing in on me. And to make matters worse, Asuka had woken up.

“Huh… Don’t come any closer?”

“Huh?! Why?”

“Why? Well, that…”

I couldn’t very well tell them that they weren’t wearing bras!

“Yuuto-sama, are you okay?! You’re bleeding from your nose!”

“W-What?! I mean…”

My face was starting to feel hot.

“Kinoshita-kun, could it be that… you’re not used to seeing naked women?”

“……”

I couldn’t refute her point-blank accusation.

All I could do was nod my head.

“…”

The three of them were shocked by my response.

“I’d be happy if you could put on a bra for me, yes.”

I conveyed my wish.

XXXXX

“Yuuto-kun, are you okay?”

“My nosebleed stopped. How about you?”

“Fufu, I got used to it because I wanted to see more of Yuuto-kun’s swimsuit!”

I looked at Rina, and she was now wearing a bra.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Currently, I was surrounded by topless girls, and if I were to talk about this situation, people would definitely ask, “What erotic game is this? Did you do something perverted after that?”

Until a while ago, I had been asked by my classmates and teachers to take two-shot photos with them.

And when I looked to the side,…

“Yuuto-kun’s oppai, I can’t see them, but they’re so destructive.”

“Haa haa, Yuu-oppai, it’s dangerous.”

“I love you, Yuuto-kun.”

…I could hear my classmates and teachers whispering as they lay under the parasol, having fallen asleep. The number of people lying there was more than half of the total number of people who came to the marine school today.

“Let’s swim.”

But we came to the beach, so I had to enjoy myself.

However, the last time I swam was ten years ago, including my previous life.

Just in case, I inflated a float and brought it with me.

“Yuuto-kun, do you want to practice swimming?”

“In that case, I’ll help too!”

“I’ll help as well!”

“Thank you. But first, I’ll try swimming on my own.”

I entered the sea, watched by the three girls.

However, even with the float, I felt my lower body sinking.

I instinctively realized,…

This body is like a sinker.

“Help! He…”

And with that, I sank into the sea.

XXXXX

“Why did you sink so much?”

Thanks to their quick actions, I was pulled out of the sea and onto the beach.

“It felt like something was pulling me down from below.”

Indeed, my lower body had sunk as if there were weights attached to it.

Hmm? Weights?

“Ah…”

Come to think of it, there was one.

“Did you have something heavy attached to you?”

“A chastity belt.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“It’s very sturdy and made of iron… I think the total weight is… 5 kg.”

They thought.

Well, that would explain why I sank.

After that, the four of us happily built a sandcastle together.
