Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 97: Friends, Welcome! Part 2

Chapter 97: Friends, Welcome! Part 2

“Listen up!!!”

“Why am I the only one being humiliated?”

“Because you’re the one in charge of reactions and jokes, Dad!”

“I’m the one who collects material by going through videos, but you know, just the screams alone make over 50 clips, it’s way too easy to use.”

“Are you complimenting me?”

“I’m truly grateful to be able to use them! By the way, the current footage was all edited by me.”

“You, return the kindness I showed you earlier!”

The show continued.

It seemed like they were watching some rare footage, and it was only of Grauzer, with no footage of Satoru or Agrius.

The guests, the program staff, and the audience were all laughing, but the person being shown their own dark history up close was feeling uncomfortable.

“Isn’t it about time we show Satoru and Agrius’ rare footage?”

“No, if we do that, public opinion might turn against us.”

“Hey, host, why is it okay for me but not for them? Isn’t that weird?”

“It’s a matter of responsibility!”

“What a bunch of dirty adults!”

“Grauzer, calm down.”

“You should have some mental space, don’t you think?”

“You two, you’re getting along too well, aren’t you?”

With cheerful smiles, Shiori and Erina try to calm him down.

He couldn’t help but complain, as It’s hard to imagine these two, who were arguing at first, were now getting along so well.

“Well, how about showing Haruki-san’s black history instead?”

“Do we really need to show a woman’s black history when there are men here?”

“It’s fine, right? It’s just a little break.”

“Could you stop exposing my black history as a break?”

“Haruki-san, I’m currently being exposed right now!”

“That’s a different story.”

“Harsh.”

“Here’s a video of Grauzer writing a letter to Haruki.”

“So, I’m going to be exposed again. And the only demand is for Haruki?”

As he spoke, the footage showed him writing a letter.

He had misspelled words, and he crumpled up the notepaper and threw it in the trash, apparently not satisfied.

“I was very happy… I’ve never been praised so much, and I was impressed that you were watching me so closely. Even I was embarrassed reading it.”

“Could you stop giving your thoughts on it?”

“I still haven’t been shown the contents, you know?”

“Satoru, it’s not for you, and I’m not showing you!”

“I’m also curious.”

“If Haruki-san says it’s fine, then go ahead.”

“Haruki-san.”

“Nope♪”

“「!？」”

Haruki always gave in when begged, but this time she refused firmly. It was the first time in her life that she had received a letter handed to her by a man. Moreover, it was filled with praise for her, written with no lies or falsehoods. She wanted to keep it for herself, even though she felt bad for Satoru and his friend.

“I’m getting tired of these rare videos, let’s move on.”

“Host, you’re incredibly rude.”

“Not as much as you. Let’s go! Next up is…”

“Let’s Answer a Love Consultation Together!”

“I’m the only one who’s going to be roasted, huh?”

“It’s fine, Dad!”

“Y-You know, Dad’s perspective is educational.”

“I did something similar on a stream recently and got labeled as a ‘heavy guy,’ so this might not be helpful.”

“I-it’s okay, probably.”

“Y-You think Dad’s okay?”

“Yeah, Luna, what do you think?”

“I think it’s fine.”

“What do you think, Erina?”

“I think it’s wonderful.”

“What do you think, Shiori?”

“To love deeply is wonderful.”

“What do you think, Haruki?”

“There’s no problem at all.”

“What do you think, Adriana?”

“It’s the ultimate honor as a woman.”

“What do you think, Ricchan?”

“I definitely prefer heavy guys.”

“Yeah, I see. You all need to deny it a little.”

“What do you want me to do, exactly?”

He thought being a heavy guy was dangerous, and from a third-party perspective, it was just painful. That’s why he wanted everyone to deny it, but to his surprise, everyone affirmed it completely, and he was genuinely worried.

It should be remembered that this is the 1:50 World of Reversed Gender Ratios.

Women who are often treated roughly naturally want to be treated carefully, even more so than in their previous lives.

Therefore, heavy guys are in high demand.

“I’ll present a topic, and I’d like everyone to write down one answer on your boards! The person who gets the most attention from the audience with their answer will explain in detail. Satoru and Agrius, you two come up with your answer together.”

“Okay.”

“I understand.”

“See? You’re ready to roast me, huh?”

“Grauzer, just say something safe.”

“Oh, yeah! Yeah, Luna. If I say a normal answer, no one will be interested, right?”

“Umm, yeah.”

“That’s not normal at all. You should be anxious.”

He still claims to be an ordinary person, even though his “normal” is completely different from the rest of the world’s.

“I’m a guy, but I can’t confess to the person I like. But I want to be noticed by them. What should I do?”

“Just confess already!”

“I wouldn’t be struggling if I could, you bonehead.”

“Don’t complain. It’s easy.”

“Can you do it, though?”

“Satoru~!!”

“Hmm?”

“I love you~!”

“I love you too!”

“What about me?”

“I love you~!”

“Hehehe, me too.”

“You should be confessing to a woman!”

Satoru and Agrius each shouted their confessions loudly. The audience cheered, but some gave Grazer disapproving looks.

Grazer decided it’s better not to confess to a woman since there’s no mood or atmosphere for it. He thought Haruki would understand it was a joke and let it slide, but he ultimately decided against it.

“Okay, let’s move on! What do you think, Satoru-kun and Agrius-kun?”

“Your tone has changed so much, it’s hilarious.”

“Shut up, bonehead.”

“Look, guys! This is the true nature of this woman!”

“You’re really the enemy of women!”

“If you think you’re on the side of the many women whose confessions you’ve rejected, then you should change that perception immediately.”

Grauzer’s taunting tone was sharp.

Putting that aside, Satoru and Agrius presented their answer.

“Say hello!”

“Hmm, what do you mean by that?”

“Well, it’s something I learned from Dad. Just look them in the eye, call their name, and say hello!”

“Satoru, you missed the part about doing it yourself.”

“Oh, right!”

“Hey, bonehead…”

“Satoru, Agrius, you should teach him.”

“Dad, will you teach him?”

“Dad…”

“In a classroom, at work, or any place where you spend time with multiple people, even a small act can be seen as special treatment. It’s because you can see both yourself and others. So, I’ll give you an easy example, so watch carefully.”

Grauzer stood up and moved away from his seat.

“This is a classroom. I’m going to open the door and enter now. Then, everyone say hello to me.”

He made a sound effect with his mouth, “Garagara gara,” and then he acted out opening a sliding door.

“「「「Hello!!」」」”

“Yeah, hello, everyone.”

Up to this point, it was normal.

He then walked straight to his seat, sat down, and turned to Adriana, saying,

“Good morning, Adriana-san.”

“Good morning.”

“That’s all from the scene.”

“Now, for the detailed explanation.”

“At first, I just reacted to everyone’s greeting. I went to Adriana-san, called her name, made eye contact, greeted her, and waited for her response. As a man, I get greeted more often than I greet, so when a man takes action or is acted upon, it stands out. That’s all there is to it.”

“Wow, that’s well thought out.”

“The downside is that the woman could become the target of bullying.”

“I take it back, bonehead.”

“Of course. If you give such an obvious special treatment, something is bound to happen under the surface. It’s better to become lovers and show off your affection so that no one will dare to interfere.”

“Hmm…”

“There are many wonderful women in this country who put a man’s happiness first. But for the child who consulted, it’s probably not possible, so you can either look away or watch quietly as the person you like gets bullied and weakens.”

“Can you stop being so toxic?”

“Why are we even having a love consultation here?”

He couldn’t understand why they were having a love consultation with so many women around, even though it was a live stream.

He had made up his mind for the day to come, but he had no experience being in a relationship with a woman. It was a big mistake to think that he could answer anything just because he spent a lot of time with women.

“Because you don’t talk about that kind of thing even in front of us.”

“Erina, I don’t normally consult about love, you know?”

“Shiori-san, you understand.”

However, it was currently impossible for Agrius and Satoru to open Grauzer’s drawer. But at the moment, the adults were in agreement, and he felt a little more relaxed.

“By the way, Grauzer-san, do you have a type of woman you like?”

“Well, Adriana-san, I’m a man too. Of course, I have a type.”

“Oh, really? I thought you would become close to someone you’ve spent a long time with, but that’s not the case, is it?”

“Hmm, I think an active woman is good, but a gentle woman is also charming. Women of the same age are easy to talk to, and older women can pull me along since I’m quite passive. Younger women make me want to protect them. Oh, and beautiful women are wonderful, but I also love cute women.”

“So, you’re okay with anything?”

“At least, can’t you say that there are many attractive women around me? And in the end, I’m the one answering the question!”

“Do you have any preferences for body type, even if you don’t care about personality?”

“Umm, Luna. Um, about the consultation…”

“Show your heart.”

“Luna, this has become my love consultation!”

“So, is it better to have a woman like your mother with big breasts?”

“That’s direct, man!”

“Dad! It’s time to pay your dues!”

“Is there a time to pay your dues when it comes to talking about your fetishes?”

He was being looked at with expectant eyes, and he was troubled by the expectation to expose his fetishes. But with everyone surrounding him, he knew he wouldn’t be able to leave until he answered.

His answer was…

“I…
