No Wonder I'm Unwanted in This Chastity-Reversed World - Chapter 09

Chapter 09

“Tanaka~kun, will you come watch the tennis club later? You just have to be there!”

“Takahashi-kun~, how about doing harem karaoke with us?”

After school, the class became lively. While enviable invitations were flying around, as usual, no one approached me.

“Well, guess I should go home.”

I slung my school bag over my shoulder and spoke to Rui.

“Oh? You’re not freaking out today?”

“Freaking out? Well, I’m in a good mood today.”

“Really?”

Tilting his head, Rui watched as I nodded with a smile.

Even if no one else spoke to me, it was alright because I had Rui!

We passed through the school gate and walked side by side.

“Speaking of which, we’ve got the field trip coming up soon.”

“Ah…”

When I said that, Rui furrowed his brow.

“You don’t like field trips?”

“Well, yeah… it seems like it’s going to be a bit of a hassle.”

Rui let out a small sigh.

When it comes to field trips, they typically occur a few weeks after enrollment. However, in this world of chastity reversal, it occurs several months later. Right after entering school, the boys weren’t accustomed to their female classmates. This situation hasn’t changed much, even up to now.

During the field trip, we generally move in groups, and of course, there are girls in the group. The boys will have to interact with someone other than male bodyguards.

For the boys, it’s a trial. But for the girls, it’s a big event where they can get closer to the boys.

“I’m looking forward to the field trip, though. I mean, we get to do activities with our classmates, eat together, stay overnight… And there’s even a campfire on the last day. It’s full of fun!”

“That’s true. But given your current situation…”

Ugh, he hit a sensitive spot…

Given my current situation, instead of actively participating with my team members, it looked like I would end up doing solitary work in silence.

“But you’ll be with me, right, Rui?”

“! You always say things like that…”

Rui’s cheeks turned a little red.

Ah, he looked away!

“Ikuto, you really are… Sigh.”

Yep, he’s embarrassed. Rui is actually quite shy, huh?

“The field trip is getting closer, which means we’ll be deciding on teams soon! I heard we can choose our own teams.”

“Last year, some classes did have the freedom to choose. Apparently, it turned into quite a battle.”

“Ohh!”

Maybe, just maybe, the girls will fight over me. After all, I’m a rare male specimen!

“But who knows what will happen this year? Even if we can choose freely, I’ll be the one to decide.”

“Eh? But I also—”

“I will decide.”

His tone was unusually strong. Even his eyes were intense.

“That’s fine, right?”

“Eh?”

“Right?”

“—”

“Right?”

“Y-yes…”

Before I could even speak, the pressure intensified. I had no choice but to nod.

Just when I was about to switch the topic because talking about the field trip was making Rui somewhat intimidating—

Drip, drip, drip…

“Huh?”

I felt something cold touch my cheek. When I touched it, it was water.

“Is it raining? Was there a forecast for rain today?”

“I don’t think so…”

“So it’s a sudden downpour, huh?”

As we continued our conversation, droplets of water began to hit our faces. Soon enough, the rain intensified.

“It’s really coming down!”

Rui and I splashed through puddles as we ran through the pouring rain. Given that it was driving rain, buying an umbrella at a convenience store would be pointless.

“Should we find a place to take shelter?”

“That’s not an option.”

“Yeah, figures…”

Looking around, a lot of people—mainly women—were scurrying like baby spiders, seeking refuge under buildings and such.

Rui probably thought it was risky for a man like me to go where there were women. I personally didn’t have a problem with it, but saying so would only make Rui angry. Besides, our uniforms were already quite wet, so seeking shelter now would be—

“Rui! Can you run a little faster? We’re almost at my house!”

“Sure I can—wait, what?”
