Striving to Become the Ideal Man in a World of Reversed Chastity

All of today’s classes had finally ended, and it was now after school. Hmm, today was certainly a day full of various events.

“Mmmm…”

I stood up from my chair while stretching, and spoke to Yuji who was sitting nearby.

“Hey, Yuji.”

“Yeah, what is it, Aoi-kun?”

Yuji was in the middle of packing his bag. He seemed to be getting ready to go home as usual.

“Do you have a girlfriend, Yuji?”

“Huh? Why are you asking so suddenly? Well, I don’t have one though.”

I asked Yuji that question directly. Yuji paused his packing and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“I see. Then, do you want a girlfriend?”

“Hmm, of course I’d like one.”

“Ah, I see.”

I see, that part was the same as in my original world. And I felt relieved knowing that Yuji didn’t have a girlfriend in this reversed world either. Yeah, this probably meant the Yuji in this world was also a virgin, no doubt about it.

“By the way, what kind of girl would you like to date, Yuji?”

“Let’s see… I’d be happy with someone who shares my hobbies and interests.”

“Hmm? Don’t you have any preferences for looks?”

“Huh? Well… I don’t really care about appearances. What’s inside is more important than how someone looks on the outside!”

“Oh, I-I see…”

(What’s this? It’s creeping me out.)

I was extremely surprised to find that Yuji’s preferences were completely different from those in my original world. I had asked the same question to the Yuji in my original world, but… at that time, his answer was simply “busty and sexy girls”.

(So does that mean the Yuji in this world has become an honest guy? N-no, an honest Yuji is just creepy no matter how you look at it…)

But… yeah, that made sense. I didn’t know what the original world’s Kashima-san was like personality-wise… but she definitely wasn’t the type to discuss erotic topics with female friends in public.

Looking at it that way, friendships and general aspects in this reversed world were probably similar to my original world. But individual tastes, personalities, and ways of thinking might have changed quite a bit compared to the original. I see, that was an educational insight too.

(Hmm? Then is Himeko’s personality actually different as well?)

My childhood friend had a pretty scary personality in the original world… I wonder if the Himeko here had a milder personality.

But when I talked with Himeko yesterday, she seemed exactly the same as always… well, maybe I’d explore a bit more the next time I met her? Though I was honestly scared.

(Hmm, but still…)

While I was thinking about such things, I still found honest Yuji creepy and disagreeable, so I decided to ask him a more probing question.

“By the way, let’s say… what about erotic girls? Do you like them? Or dislike them?”

“Huh, I definitely can’t handle erotic girls.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Even so, Yuji immediately rejected the idea without hesitation.

“Yeah. Even in our grade, there are a lot of girls who constantly talk about dirty things, right? I find that childish and really hate it.”

“Ah, I see?”

“Yes. So if I were to date someone, I’d prefer a more mature woman. Girls our age just seem like children to me.”

My friend (who was a virgin) shared some rather mature opinions. And girls who always talked about dirty things… that would refer to girls like Kashima-san, right? Wait, could it be that Kashima-san hada pretty bad reputation among the boys? Did that mean… this was an opportunity for me??

(Yeah, then I definitely need to become Kashima-san’s ideal guy!)

Despite Kashima-san being super cute, in this chastity-reversed world, she was not popular at all with other guys… for a virgin like me, this was too much of an opportunity! Perhaps this world really was heaven for me.

“Ah, sorry. I need to go to my club activities after this, so you can head home first today.”

“Got it. See you tomorrow then, Yuji.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

After saying that, Yuji headed from the classroom toward the club building. After seeing him off, I returned to my seat and started preparing to leave. Looks like I’d be going home alone today.

(Actually, if Kashima-san is still around, maybe I should call out to her?)

I thought this and looked around the classroom, but Kashima-san wasn’t there. It seemed she had already gone home today.

(I was a bit too late. Well, can’t be helped.)

I switched my mindset and decided to just go home quickly today. So to get home faster, I started stuffing my textbooks from my desk into my bag.

“Hey, Kurahashi-kun?”

Just then, someone suddenly called out to me from behind. I turned around wondering who it was, and there was…

“Huh? Oh, S-Sakurai-san?”

The person behind me was a female classmate named Sakurai Asuka. She was a thin girl about 160 centimeters tall, with distinctive bright blonde long hair, makeup, and nail polish… Well, to put it simply, she was a “gyaru” type girl.

By the way, in my original world, I hardly knew Sakurai-san. After all, Sakurai-san was a popular gyaru high in the school caste, while I was just an ordinary virgin. We had so few points of contact that we barely ever talked, even though we were in the same class.

So I was genuinely surprised when this gyaru Sakurai-san approached me. I wondered what she wanted?

“What is it, Sakurai-san?”

“Well, you see, I wanted to chat with you a bit, Kurahashi-kun.”

“Huh? With me?”

I thought she might have some business with me… but this was different from what I expected. What did she mean she wanted to talk with me?

“I mean, I don’t mind talking, but… wait, were we even close enough to talk frequently in the first place?”

I posed this obvious question to Sakurai-san. In my original world, I had no connection with Sakurai-san, but I wondered if we had any connection in this reversed world?

“Not really? This might be the first time we’re actually talking like this, haha.”

“Oh? Right, of course.”

It seemed I didn’t have any connection with Sakurai-san in this world either. So why did Sakurai-san suddenly want to talk to me?

“You know, Kurahashi-kun. During lunch break, you were talking with Chika about something, right?”

“Chika…? Oh, you mean Kashima-san.”

Sakurai-san asked me about someone named “Chika”. I didn’t know who she meant for a moment, but then I quickly remembered. “Chika” was Kashima-san’s first name.

“Yeah, that’s right. So, what kind of things were you talking about with Chika?”

“Huh? Well, let’s see…”

It seemed Sakurai-san was curious about my interaction with Kashima-san during lunch break. But why was she concerned about that?

Also, the fact that she called Kashima-san by her first name “Chika” suggested they might be close friends. Well, that was not important right now.

“We were just talking about going out somewhere together sometime.”

I thought a bit about how to answer… but since I couldn’t understand Sakurai-san’s intentions at all, I decided to give a safe response. Besides, this answer wasn’t a lie anyway.

“Oh, I see. Going out together sounds nice. By the way, are you dating Chika, Kurahashi-kun?”

“Huh? No, we’re not dating.”

Sakurai-san asked me this while smiling. Hmm, so she was concerned about whether Kashima-san and I were dating? But why would she think we were dating? I still didn’t quite understand the intention behind Sakurai-san’s questions.

“Oh, really? Huh? So… Kurahashi-kun is the type of boy who would go to a ‘love hotel’ with a girl he’s not even dating?”

“…What?”

Sakurai-san said this while giggling. Surprised, I asked her back.

“How do you know about that?”

“Well, I just happened to overhear. I mean, Chika was talking so happily, it made me curious, you know?”

It seemed she simply overheard our conversation. Well, that made sense. After all, there was always the possibility that someone would notice when we were having that kind of conversation in a public place.

“But you know, I never would have guessed that someone as serious and studious as Kurahashi-kun would be interested in such naughty things.”

“Oh? Ah, right, I was supposed to be the serious type.”

“And to think that such a Kurahashi-kun would invite a girl who’s not even his girlfriend to a love hotel… hey, that’s not a good thing to do, is it?”

“Well, I guess you’re right about that.”

I wasn’t expecting to receive a lecture based on sound reasoning here, so I was completely speechless. Well, since I was at fault, I guess I had no choice but to humbly listen to Sakurai-san’s lecture.

“Oh my, if everyone found out that the serious, model student Kurahashi-kun is actually a perverted, lustful boy, that would be troubling for you, wouldn’t it?”

“Yeah, you’re right… Wait, what?”

I was planning to obediently listen to Sakurai-san’s lecture, but suddenly the flow changed? Moreover, this situation felt like something straight out of those adult manga.

Like the scenario where a serious female student did something lewd in the classroom, got caught by a delinquent, then threatened, and became their sex slave…

Wait, what?

That was so naughty!
