The World Becomes a World Where Chastity Is Reversed?! - 8

Chapter 8: First Day at a New School

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

A few days had passed since I moved to Tokyo. During those days, I explored various places like the nearby supermarket, convenience store, library, and so on, but there were plenty of moments when I thought this world was just a little different from the original reality I came from. For example, since the ratio of women was overwhelmingly high, I often felt women staring at me. And at night, in places like the station area or other crowded spots, women around college age even tried to hit on me.

But that was the first time anyone had ever hit on me, so it felt kind of ticklish in a way. Ah, of course, I promised Narumi-neesan that I shouldn’t go along with anyone who tried to pick me up, so I properly brushed those women. Well, in that sense, these past few days had been a bit heart-throbbing since there were just so many women everywhere. But aside from things related to women, nothing had been drastically different from the real world, so for now I had been able to live normally without any strange discomfort. I was relieved about that part. And with summer vacation ending peacefully, school finally started today. Which meant…

“Nice to meet you, my name is Haruki Uegami. Please take care of me until graduation.”

Clap clap clap clap

Since it was my first day as a transfer student, I immediately introduced myself during the morning homeroom. I received a warm welcome overall, and that alone made me feel relieved. Well, it was just as I expected… The class was full of girls. I looked around from the platform, and almost everyone was a girl. Including me, there were only four male students, while there were nearly thirty females. Since I had attended an all-boys school until now, being in this situation made me a little nervous. But we were all the same age, so I figured we’d get along quickly. Probably.

“Okay, thank you for the self-introduction, Uegami-kun. We still have a little time left in homeroom, so… Since it’s a good opportunity, let’s have you answer at least one question. Alright, who wants to ask something?”

“Yes, yes! I have a question! Uegami-kun, do you have a girlfriend?”

“Ohh, nice question! I really wanna know!”

“Ah, I wanna hear that too! Tell us, tell us, Uegami-kun!”

One of the girls raised her hand high and asked that question. And as if agreeing with her, the surrounding girls all started saying they wanted to know as well.

“Eh? N-no, I’ve never had a girlfriend or anything like that.”

Feeling embarrassed to be asked something like that by my classmates, I answered honestly without lying. Then—

“““Oooooooohhhh!”””

For some reason the entire class’s excitement level shot up. Wh-why did hearing that I didn’t have a girlfriend make them so excited?

“Alright, alright, good for you all that you got an answer you like. That’s the end of question time. Homeroom is about to end, so Uegami-kun, go ahead and move to your seat. Your seat is the empty one by the window in the back row.”

“Ah, yes, understood.”

So I moved to the seat by the window in the very back row and sat down. Then I glanced toward the girl sitting next to me.

Scratch scratch scratch…

The girl next to me was seriously doing her self-study. I thought it wouldn’t be good to disturb her, but… Since it was our first meeting, I figured greeting her properly was the polite thing to do, so I tried talking to my seat neighbor.

“I’ll be in your care for the next six months. Umm, your name is…?”

“Sakurako Amagi.”

“Eh? Ah, a-ah, yeah. Nice to meet you, Amagi-san.”

“Mm.”

Scratch scratch scratch…

That girl… Amagi-san said only that and returned to her studying. She didn’t seem interested in looking at my face and kept moving her pen across her notebook. Huh, that was a colder response than I expected. Judging from the earlier excitement of the class, I thought the girl next to me might talk to me more actively, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

Hmm… Well, I mean, her reaction is understandable.

Even in the original world, if a girl transferred into a class, it was not like every single boy would be interested enough to talk to her. So it wasn’t strange that someone like Amagi-san wouldn’t care about me and would focus on her studies. Thinking about that calmly, I took another moment to observe my neighbor, Amagi-san. Since she was sitting, I couldn’t tell her height precisely, but she was probably about average. Her build was slender. She had black hair in braided pigtails and wore large, stylish round glasses. Her posture was extremely straight as she studied, giving me the impression she was a very serious type of girl. To me, she looked like the classic old-fashioned librarian committee member you might see in an anime or manga. Yes. She looked like the kind of serious girl who appeared often in those stories.

“…What? Why are you staring?”

“Eh? Ah, a-ah, no, it’s nothing.”

While I was analyzing her like that and staring at her, she seemed to notice my gaze and asked that. I panicked a little and said it was nothing.

“I see.”

Scratch scratch scratch…

Then Amagi-san said that and returned to her studying. She didn’t say anything more, but she was probably uncomfortable with a male classmate staring at her… So I quickly reflected on it and stopped looking at her, turning my gaze back toward the teacher’s board.
