Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 5.1: Reverse Lucky Pervert

Chapter 5.1: Reverse Lucky Pervert Situation

Several weeks have passed since the entrance ceremony, but the girls in my class are still aggressively pursuing me.

“Hey, Yuuto-kun!!! Do you want to play outside?”

“Hey, Yuuto-kun!!! What book are you reading?”

“Yuuto-kun!!! Can you help me with this problem?”

“”Yuuto-kun!!!!!””

…They don’t seem to remember my self-introduction at all. Aren’t you guys getting bored? Shouldn’t you be bored by now? Why is my heart always like a campfire?

My daily life is very ordinary. I respond to greetings and listen to what others have to say.

I treat everyone equally, since if I give special treatment to one person, they might get bullied, so I keep a certain distance.

The other day, I was reading a book outside on a whim, and…

“Are you getting cocky just because you talked to Yuuto-kun?”

“Why don’t you try talking to him?”

“Huh? He’ll just ignore you.”

“Because of that attitude of yours that you can’t talk to him..”

“You!!!

“Look, Yuuto-kun is reading a book over there. I’ll talk to him first, and then you can talk to him.”

“If you’re lying, watch out!”

“Okay, okay.”

…That’s scary. Yes, after that, I did talk to them. Her face was red, and she was cute, but after hearing that conversation, I felt a bit complicated.

Just by picking up an eraser, the atmosphere in the class became tense. Did I do something wrong? I don’t think I did.

When I interact with girls, I notice that there are two types: those who aggressively approach me and those who quietly observe me from a distance. That’s fine, but…

I’m reading a book. Naturally, I often go to the library. I borrow books, read them, and return them. It’s a normal thing to do. However, almost all the girls who happen to be there fight over the books I return. This makes it hard to borrow books.

Well, at least they don’t take my personal belongings. I’m grateful for that. Probably because they know that I would be inconvenienced if they took my things. At least, that’s how I feel for now… I guess it’s inevitable that something will be stolen eventually.

Currently, I’m in the library. It’s a very quiet space. You can barely hear a voice from the conversation of the people inside, making it the perfect place to read in silence.

Many girls look at me, but no one approaches. Everyone follows the library rules. That’s why I come to the library when I want to read.

Lately, I’ve been reading children’s books. When you go back to the basics and read them again, they’re actually quite interesting.

“Hey, Yuuto-kun.”

“Kimura-san. What’s up?”

“Can I borrow that book after you’re done reading it?”

“Sure. Where are you sitting?”

“Can I wait here next to you?”

“It’s fine, but…”

Kimura-san sits next to me. I said it was fine, but I can feel the jealous stares directed at her. 

However, she doesn’t seem to mind and just continues to look at me. It’s a bit distracting when someone is sitting so close and staring at you.

“I can’t concentrate on reading when you’re staring at me.”

“Eh… Ah, sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’ll lend you the book now.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you.”

I hand her the book, and she starts reading it right away. Then, I pick up another book and start reading.

“…”

There is no conversation. The only sound is the turning of pages. She occasionally glances at me. When I notice her gaze and make eye contact, she quickly looks back down at her book.

(Is there something on my face?)

I check my face with my phone’s camera, but there’s nothing. Just a healthy face without a single pimple.

(I guess I don’t need to worry about it.)

I resume reading.

However, she continues to glance at me from time to time.

Ding-dong-ding-dong

The bell rings five minutes before the break ends.

I leave the library with Kimura-san and head back to the classroom. Since we’re in the same class, we don’t need to go our separate ways. It’s just troublesome.

But because of that, she attracts jealous stares… and so on.

“It’s better if you don’t get too close to me. It might cause trouble for you.”

I should definitely warn her. Since we sit next to each other, we talk a lot, and I don’t want to cause her any inconvenience.

“It’s fine. I’m strong!”

Ah, she’s already aware of it, huh? I feel stupid for being so concerned now.

“Thank you, Yuuto-kun♪”

“Eh… Ah, okay.”

The school’s library is on the second floor, so we have to go down the stairs once. But on the way down,

“Kya!”

Kimura-san missed a step, and I tried to grab her hand, but it wasn’t enough to stop her, and I ended up falling with her. However, I instinctively pulled her towards me and cushioned her fall with my back. Thanks to that, she was unhurt, but…

“Guuh!”

The impact was transmitted to me, and it hurt like hell. This kind of pain is like when my friend playfully punched my shoulder, or when I got a punch in the gut as a joke. The injured areas are different, but the intensity is similar.

“Yuuto-kun, are you okay!?!”

“Someone call an ambulance!”

“An ambulance!!!”

“We need a stretcher!!!”

The people around us were in a state of panic. But anyway,

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, ah, thank you.”

“Then it’s fine.”

However, I can’t get up with her on top of me.

“Can you move a little?”

“Eh!? Ah, sorry!”

As she tried to move away, she froze like a statue. And then, I noticed that the atmosphere around us had become tense.

The stares of those around us were directed at her. I looked at her position and saw that

She was holding my chest with her right hand.

And then I understood.

(Ah, I see. She accidentally did a reverse lucky pervert move on me.)

In this world, where the concept of chastity has been reversed, it is the women who do lucky pervert moves on men.

I heard from Mahiru that due to the extreme gender imbalance, it is difficult for women to even meet men, let alone talk to them.

So, what about… physical contact?

Do you remember when I shook hands with all the girls in my class at the entrance ceremony? More than half of them… fainted. They’re not used to being touched or touching others. Kimura-san didn’t faint at the time, but her face turned as red as if it was boiling, and she said,

“I’m never washing this hand again!”

Later, I did tell her,

“Make sure to wash your hands and gargle to prevent getting sick.”

But let’s get back to the story.

She turned red just from shaking hands, so of course, after doing something like that,

“Kyu~”

She fainted. It seemed intentional that her face landed on my chest. However, I couldn’t just leave her like that, so I gently moved her to the side and stood up, holding her in my arms. It’s like a princess carry, or in this world, maybe it’s a prince carry?

I headed to the infirmary. In this situation, it’s better to lay her on a bed. The pain in my back had subsided, so I didn’t think there was any serious injury.

The girls around us were saying,

“That girl is socially dead.”

“She’s finished.”

“That’s terrible.”

“Yuuto-kun might not come to school anymore!”

I decided to ignore them.

I arrived at the infirmary and laid Kimura-san on a bed. The school nurse wasn’t there, so I decided to wait until she came. I needed to explain the situation to the nurse, or she might get confused.

Then,

“I’ve been looking for you, Yuuto-kun!!! Are you okay with your back!?”

“Eh… Ah, yes, I’m fine.”

I was a bit taken aback by her intense attitude. Probably because she’s wearing a white coat, she must be the school nurse.

“Just lie down for now!!!”

I obeyed and lay down on the bed. She seemed determined not to give up, so I decided to tell her about Kimura-san’s situation. After hearing my explanation, the nurse’s face turned pale, and she said,

“Um… Are you going to sue her, Yuuto-kun?”

“Why would I do that?”

“But she… touched your chest, right?”

“That was an accident, and it couldn’t be helped. I won’t sue her, so don’t worry.”

“I see.”

Then,

“Uuu… Hmm?”

Kimura-san woke up. Well, I don’t think she’s injured, so she should be fine.

“Are you alright?”

“Wha… Yuuto-kun!? Why are you here… and me…”

I can’t see her face because of the curtain, but I can tell she’s flustered. Probably remembering what happened before she fainted.

“I was told to lie down. Are you okay, Kimura-san?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Thanks to Yuuto-kun… But…”

“That was an accident. Don’t worry about it.”

“You’re forgiving me?”

“……Yes.”

“Thank you!”

“I’ll head back first.”

“No, Yuto-kun. The ambulance is here, so…”

Eh? What did the teacher just say?

“Just in case, go to the hospital and get checked.”

“But it isn’t necesa–”

“It is!

Just in case, Yuuto-kun, go ahead.”

“I wouldn’t want Yuuto-kun to have any long lasting scars.”

I want to say, “No way,” but I’ll hold back. But shouldn’t you have stopped me from carrying Kimura-san earlier? Ah, it’s troublesome, that’s for sure, but…

“Okay, I’ll go.”

As I tried to get up,

“Don’t move!”

I had no choice but to obey.

Then, I was carried on a stretcher to the ambulance and taken to the hospital. Needless to say, Mana and Yuuna were extremely worried.

Oh, by the way, there was nothing wrong with me.
