Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 78: The Last Year, Starting with Hair

Chapter 78: The Last Year, Starting with Hair

Time passed, and the boy started his sixth spring as a primary school student.

There were a few people who wanted to be involved in making memories because it was their last year, but they were mostly from the lower grades. After graduation, they wouldn’t be going to schools with unusually high test scores or all-boys schools, but would simply progress to Asano Middle School, the same as most of their classmates.

With four more years to go, the classmates were relaxed and continued with their usual routine.

Thus, the boy’s daily life was relatively protected.

However, the girls had a different source of anxiety.

“Good morning.”

Yuuto appeared, greeting his classmates with a lively greeting. Up to this point, his behavior was no different from when he was in first grade. But the problem was not his attitude, but his appearance.

“Y-You’re wearing your hair in a vertical roll today, huh?”

“Huh? I don’t know. I’ve been having fun trying out different hairstyles lately.”

“You look just like Maria-chan.”

Yuuto had come to school with the same hairstyle as one of his noble classmates. Initially, when he first started cross-dressing, Yuuto had worn a wig and had short hair, a very common hairstyle for men. However, he must have felt limited by this, because he started growing his hair gradually.

At first, he kept his hair long, but eventually, the younger students started playing with his hair more and more. They were just trying to make light physical contact, but Yuuto, who had been touched constantly, thought to himself.

If I keep having the same hairstyle, won’t there be a risk of me being found out?

His thought proved to be a good one. The boy started changing his hairstyle every one to two weeks. He regularly set his younger sister Yuuna’s hair every morning, so he had no trouble doing the same for himself.

If that was all he did, it would have been fine, but the boy also started experimenting with makeup. He asked his friend Sakata Luna for help, received a lecture on makeup, and started wearing light makeup when he went out.

And of course, his clothing was also feminine… Well, since he could wear almost anything as long as he didn’t wear a skirt, it didn’t really matter.

Because he had relatively more opportunities to go out, he had to maintain a high level of quality to avoid being found out by those around him. But was it really necessary to go this far?

The girls’ anxiety grew that he might end up in the other world.

Originally, he was too understanding of women, and…

“Maria~”

This time, Yuuto’s hairstyle was clearly inspired by Tachibana Maria. He showed it off in front of her. After all, they were in the same class for their sixth-grade year, so it was easy for them to meet up.

“There’s not enough goldness.”

“Are you so unhappy with the black?”

“If you’re going to copy my hairstyle, I wish you would have copied the color too.”

“…”

“Fufufu, just kidding. It really suits you.”

“Thank you.”

This conversation took place during the ten-minute break. During the subsequent class, Yuuto took notes with a serious expression on his face. Asuka, who was sitting next to him, had heard his conversation with Maria, and…

“Are you going to dye your hair?”

“!”

She easily saw through his plan.

Yuuto’s way of thinking was simple.

“What do you think?”

“I think blonde would look good on you.”

Asuka wanted to see him with short hair, but that was an impossible dream.

“Good day, Lady Maria. It’s another fine day, and the sunlight enhances your beautiful appearance even more.”

“Wha-!”

The next day. In front of Maria, there was Yuuto with a bizarre hairstyle, with his bangs shaped like a drill. Moreover, the drill was straight, like a pompadour.

His clothing was also far from his usual style, a white suit that would make people mistake him for a European noble.

And he was even trying out some smooth lines, something he never did before.

Everyone thought, Who is this guy?

What is this feeling of someone else possessing him!

Yuuto’s actions were swift. Immediately after his conversation with Asuka, he sent a message to Mana on LI○E, telling her straight-up that he wanted to dye his hair blonde to surprise Maria, with no lies or deception in his words.

And Mana. She wanted to see her child in various forms, and his behavior wouldn’t get any worse, in fact, the fact that he was asking meant he wasn’t going to rebel, so she gave him the okay.

Yuuto went straight to the beauty salon after school and dyed his hair blonde.

Yuuna, who was waiting for him without knowing anything, lamented that he had gone bad, but Yuuto’s desperate jokes, “Super Vegetable Man” and “Gundamo Frame,” which imitated his new hairstyle, saved the day.

Let’s take a break from the story.

“It’s Yuuto-sama, right?”

“Yeah. I’m going to go back to speaking casually cause it’s a bother, but yes, it’s Yuuto.”

“But, well, what can I say…”

“Well, I liked the vertical roll like Maria’s, but I wanted to surprise her, so I copied a hairstyle I saw in an anime.”

“It’s hard to say it suits you, but if you use the same tone of voice as when you greeted me earlier, I think it would be okay.”

“Really? The usual tone of voice doesn’t balance well, does it?”

“Fufufu, how about wearing that hairstyle to the next party?”

“I’m wearing it just today.”

However, Maria was so surprised that she didn’t react to Yuuto’s compliment about his appearance. Her attention was completely taken by his drilled bangs.

“This is a metallic drill, isn’t it?”

“But the penetration power of this one is better.”

Maria touched the tip of Yuuto’s bangs, even though she thought she shouldn’t. Usually, she made fun of him, so she thought it would be okay to do the same this time. She felt how hard it was, just as it looked, and lightly flicked it with her fingertips.

“It took me about two hours to do it  since it’s my first time, you know?”

“What a waste of effort.”

“Don’t say that.”

But Yuuto thought that seeing Maria’s surprised face was worth it. Well, he probably wouldn’t be wearing this hairstyle again in the future.

“Oh, by the way, can I take a picture of you?”

“Sure.”

“Since it’s a nice day, let’s use the cherry blossom tree as a background.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea. Let’s go.”

Maria and Yuuto left the others behind and headed outside. The others noticed and naturally formed two lines behind them.

The students from other classes also noticed and naturally formed a line at the back, asking for the reason, understanding, and then telling those behind them.

Thus, under the cherry blossom tree, the photo shoot with Yuuto in his bizarre hairstyle began, and the first period of class was wasted.

Of course, their respective homeroom teachers were furious, but they kept quiet after being given a photo of him.

The teachers at this school were easily bribed.
