Striving to Become the Ideal Man in a World of Reversed Chastity - Chapter 29: Lunchtime With My Junior Hikasa ②

“J-just out of curiosity, which gym are you planning to go to?”

“Huh? Ah, um, wait a sec… Here, this one.”

Hikasa seemed curious about which gym I was planning to go to, so I took out my phone, opened the gym’s homepage, and showed the screen to her.

“Oh, I see! Ah, so it’s a new gym that just opened recently! It looks like a nice place!”

“Yeah, exactly. Plus, the fact that it’s right near the station is a huge advantage.”

“Oh, definitely! Having it right by the station makes it super convenient to stop by after school.”

“Yeah, exactly. It’s great to be able to drop by casually on the way home when I don’t have club activities or work. And apparently, it’s really popular among people like me—the gym’s main customer base seems to be young people. According to the homepage, most of the members are students in their teens to working professionals in their thirties.”

“Oh, I see!”

So basically, this gym was a place where I could train my body while also legally admiring the fit and healthy bodies of young women. Yeah, if I thought about it that way, this gym was pretty much perfect for me.

“On top of that, even though it’s right by the station, the place is actually huge. That means they have a ton of training equipment and the latest machines—seems like an amazing place to work out.”

“Oh, really? Ah, the homepage even has a facility map! Let’s see… Whoa, you’re right! This gym is huge! …Wait, huh?!”

Suddenly, Hikasa let out a loud voice and froze while looking at the gym’s facility map. Wondering what was up, I leaned over to check the screen.

“What’s wrong, Hikasa? Hmm, let me see… ‘Heated pool’? Oh, I didn’t know they had something like that here.”

Looking at the facility map, I just now realized that this gym had a heated pool. Wow, this place really did have everything. No wonder it was so popular.

“H-huh? So, if you were to join this gym, senpai… w-would you use the pool too?”

“Huh? Ah, well, I mean, I’d like to make full use of everything I can. I’m paying the monthly fee, after all.”

And if I got to legally admire women in swimsuits, then of course I’d be making use of that heated pool. Plus, since the gym mainly catered to students and young professionals, I could expect the pool to be filled with young people. This was getting exciting.

(Oh, but…)

Now that I think about it, what was the standard for men’s swimwear in this world? When Kashima had touched my chest, she’d turned bright red, so maybe men showing their chests was a no-go here? That would mean full-body competitive swimsuits were the norm for guys? But I didn’t have anything like that… Well, I could just buy one at the sports store I usually went to.

“I-I see… H-hmm…”

“Yeah? What’s wrong? …Ah, wait, are you interested in joining a gym too, Hikasa?”

“Huh? Ah, um… well, sort of, I guess? Ahaha…”

Seeing Hikasa fidget like that, I figured she might be interested in the gym, so I decided to invite her along.

“Oh, really? Then hey, why don’t we go together?”

“Eh?! M-me too??”

“Yeah. They have a one-week free trial going on right now. If you’re even a little interested, why don’t you come check it out with me?”

If Hikasa came along, that meant I’d get to see her in a swimsuit too, right? I mean, that would definitely boost my training motivation, so I’d really appreciate it.

“W-well… i-in that case… o-okay, I’d like to go with you, senpai!”

“Alright. In that case, how about we go on the next day we don’t have club activities?”

“Y-yes, sounds good!”

And with that, Hikasa agreed to come with me to the gym. Now I was really looking forward to the next club-free day.
