When My Girlfriend Cheated On Me And Spread Rumors That I Was A Guy Who Would Sleep With Anyone, I Decided To Just Accept It And Ended Up Dating The Most Slutty Girl In School. - Chapter 28: Layer Cheat.
Layer Cheat.
Let’s briefly explain Fantasy Land, the setting for this date.
Think of it as a fantasy version of the mouse kingdom in Chiba Prefecture or a classic RPG like Dragon Quest. The entrance gate is designed as a portal to another world, leading to a pastoral starting village. At the center is a grand royal city with a towering castle, surrounded by various fantastical areas: an ancient forest inhabited by elves, a mining area with dwarves, a magic academy, a sea area with mermaids, a desert with pyramids, and a futuristic area connected to a future world. Each area is distinctly fantasy-themed.
What sets Fantasy Land apart is its abundance of collaboration events. The theme park maintains a narrative of being connected to different worlds through the portal, offering various collaborations throughout the year.
During the Kadokawa Isekai Reincarnation Collaboration, popular isekai characters appeared in different areas, offering exclusive merchandise and facility announcements voiced by these characters. While this may sound like an otaku-centric theme park, it also hosts broader events like Pokémon collaborations—where visitors could catch Pokémon walking around the park via an AR app (transferable to their games)—and international collaborations featuring famous fantasy stories or cultural festivals and cuisine from Egypt, Mexico, and other countries. These events appeal to both otaku and general audiences alike.
Naoki often wanted to visit for these collaborations, but he assumed Chiharu, who disliked otaku culture, would refuse. He didn’t want to go alone and leave behind his important girlfriend.
Despite its strong ties to otaku culture, Fantasy Land has successfully balanced its appeal, attracting a general audience as well. The park even hosts live performances by popular artists on event stages in various areas. However, Chiharu had a preconceived notion that anything Naoki liked was otaku-related and uncool, so he had given up on persuading her.
Therefore, when Kirara expressed her desire to go to Fantasy Land, Naoki was honestly thrilled. Both being otaku at heart, they wanted to enjoy the experience together. The park provided a perfect blend of fun and utility for them.
The purpose of this date was to show off their chemistry in a popular spot likely frequented by their schoolmates, hoping the rumors would make Chiharu jealous. There’s also a chance that Chiharu might show up with her lover out of competitive spirit. To facilitate this, Naoki subtly spread the word during lunch.
As for their outfits, after some discussion, they decided to go with Kirara’s suggestion: “Wouldn’t a school uniform date be hot for a theme park?”
Wearing school uniforms would help Naoki save money. Or so he thought.
“But if we’re going to wear uniforms, wearing just regular ones would be boring. How about we go with a delinquent couple concept?”
It seemed Kirara’s cosplayer instincts were kicking in. She excitedly suggested the idea. Naoki was fine with their usual school uniforms, but since Kirara had helped him so often, he decided to respect her wishes.
“Sure, but I can’t afford anything too expensive.”
Just going to Fantasy Land was already a significant expense. Naoki was looking forward to it, so he was prepared to spend some money. But buying different uniforms could be costly, potentially amounting to tens of thousands of yen.
“I know, right? I’m broke too, so I’ll manage within our budget.”
With a playful wink, they headed out shopping after school.
They ended up at a sketchy thrift store in a back alley of the shopping district.
“New clothes are expensive, but second-hand ones are super cheap!”
“I see… Wow, they really are cheap!”
The thrift store, filled with a sweet scent, had clothes packed so tightly that it was a struggle to pull them out. The price range was surprisingly low, with items costing just a few hundred yen and at most a few thousand.
“See? This place is a hidden gem!”
Proudly explaining to the astonished Naoki, Kirara skillfully picked out a blazer with a stylish school emblem, checkered pants, and a diagonally striped tie.
“Wouldn’t this look cool if worn loosely? Like a delinquent at a posh school!”
“Oh, uh, yeah.”
Naoki didn’t really get the fashion sense, but he trusted Kirara’s judgment. However, upon closer inspection, he realized something.
“… Isn’t this too big for me?”
Even Naoki could tell that much. The clothes Kirara had picked out were clearly oversized.
“I know. This shop imports clothes from overseas, so everything is generally big. That’s why it’s cheap.”
“Huh, I see~.”
Apparently, the uniforms were vintage imports from places like the UK.
“But isn’t it pointless if the size doesn’t fit?” Naoki questioned, reasonably.
“Hey, Asshi! Did you forget who I am?” Kirara smirked, making a scissor motion with her fingers.
“… Are you saying you can alter these to fit?” Naoki asked, amazed.
“Of course! I usually make costumes from scratch, so altering off-the-rack clothes is a piece of cake. Besides, bigger sizes work better for that delinquent look. You can’t make something bigger, but you can always make it smaller.”
With a proud puff of her chest, Kirara declared her confidence.
“That’s amazing…” Naoki could only express his admiration.
Thus, they bought the outfit under Kirara’s guidance, and Naoki received the altered pieces a few days later. When he tried them on at home, the once oversized clothes now fit perfectly. The ensemble had a deliberately oversized, yet stylishly coordinated look that seemed to say, Yeah, this is how I roll. Got a problem with that?
The outfit matched his rebellious hairstyle, giving off the vibe of a delinquent elite student straight out of a manga.
“It must’ve been a lot of work. Let me pay you for the trouble,” Naoki offered.
“No, no! I asked you to go along with my whim! Compared to the costumes I usually make, this was a piece of cake!” Kirara insisted, shaking her head vigorously, which was soon followed by her chest swaying in a delayed motion.
“Still, I can’t just let you do all this for free,” Naoki insisted.
“I’m serious, it’s fine! It’d feel wrong to take money for something like this!” Kirara countered.
After much back-and-forth, they settled on Naoki treating Kirara during their date instead.

Meanwhile, Chiharu, clad in only her underwear, was in front of a mirror, carefully choosing her outfit.
“That damn bitch must’ve picked out Naoki’s clothes too. There’s even a chance they’ll show up in matching outfits to rub it in my face. Seems like a lot of kids are planning to visit Fantasy Land that day for the spectacle. I absolutely can’t lose this battle! In fact, I’ll win! I’ll crush them with my overwhelming cuteness!”
As she tried on the various brand-name outfits Takashi had bought her, a thought suddenly struck her.
“Wait, there’s no point in just me looking stylish! If they’re going for a matching look, I’ll need to coordinate with Takashi too!”
However, asking Takashi to do so would mean enduring another session of lackluster sex, making her hesitant.
However, Chiharu resigned herself to the fact that they’d end up doing it after the date anyway.
She concocted a convenient excuse and specified the outfit she wanted him to wear. Soon after, she received a reply from Takashi on LINE.
“That’s fine. But can I ask you for one thing in return?”
It was bound to be a request for sex.
“Of course, anything for you, Kaneshiro-san.”
“I’m glad to hear that. By the way, Chiharu-chan, have you ever heard of humiliation play?”
Chiharu immediately regretted her hasty agreement.
