「Maybe she's just sexually frustrated?」
「O, oh you, sheesh. If she takes an even stranger attitude than that, we have to report her to Kanbayashi-sensei.」
Kanbayashi-sensei was a young male teacher in charge of the boys' class.
The delicate-looking Kanbayashi-sensei had also been troubled by sexual harassment since his student days, so he would warmly respond to the problems of the male students.
「Well, let's just put up with the staring. If she were actually to lay her hand on us or put whatever she has in her mind into words, though, she's out.」
「Y, yes… If you say so, then I guess it cannot be helped.」
As far as Yuu was concerned, he would like to continue seeing the lightly dressed Dei-sensei in the season to come where the temperature gradually rose.
Given things, auntie-senseis were a lot in number in the school.
To avoid driving away the precious female teachers who were a feast for the eyes because of their shortsightedness, he would like to ask the boys to act with prudence.
The topics of school life, such as classes and teachers, were endless.
Rei seemed to really enjoy being able to talk with Yuu after a long time.
It was partly because they lived in the same condominium to begin with, but he idolized Yuu like an older brother and followed him around like a hanger-on whenever and wherever he went at school.
The same was true for Yuu, Rei was like a little brother to him, so he didn't find it unpleasant.
By the time they noticed it, the bus had found itself in the middle of the urban area.
The bus quickly drifted past the rows of buildings, billboards advertising movies, cashing loans, newly released beer and cigarettes, and male models featured on the cover of magazines.
The way they could see cigarette shop on the corner, the vending machines for alcoholic beverages, and the phone booths told Yuu the age they were in.
Based on the fact that the bus stopped more often, the traffic seems to have increased as well.
Of course, as they entered the urban area, there were also some students who got off first.
A security guard escorted them and handed them over to the male security personnel who came out when she rang the intercom.
Looking out the bus window, there were almost no minivans, which started to become popular around the time when the inside Yuu was becoming an adult. The coming and going cars seemed to be sedan-type, or the more conspicuous light, compact cars.
It was only natural for the drivers, but the passengers were also women.
Cars with male passengers were probably tinted to prevent them from being visible from the outside.
Yuu saw several cars that seemed to fit that description.
The pedestrians and bicyclists, from children to the elderly, were also all women.
Groups of students or parents and children who stopped to chat on street corners or window-shopped.
A restaurant as well as a gas station's employees who were working while raising their voices.
An employee seeing customers off as they left a clothing store.
Traffic controllers and laborers working at a construction site.
A motorcycle policeman and a driver who was being pulled over to the side of the road and given a violation ticket.
For the most part, all of them were women.
Sometimes, when Yuu thought he saw a man, an elderly man who was taking a walk was accompanied by his family on either side of him, or an uncle who was going into a restaurant was sandwiched by robust male security personnel.
It seemed that no matter how old a man was, he never walked alone.
Yuu wondered regretfully if it was impossible for him to walk the streets alone freely in this world.
「Yuu-kun? Geez, Yuu-kun!」
「Hmm? Ah, my bad. What was it again?」
Yuu, who still ended up finding it unusual even though it was a scene he saw every day, seemed to have accidentally missed what Rei was talking about.
「We are talking about what to do with the course from the second semester, you know?」
「Ah. I see. And you're going to take the regular course, right, Rei?」
「I guess so. I cannot think of a career that makes me want to take the college preparatory course, or rather I am not very confident about my grades, so….」
Yuu did not know about the girls, but in the boys' class, the first semester until the summer vacation was centered on reviewing their middle school materials.
As far as the inside Yuu was concerned, he had forgotten most of what he studied in high school.
If he looked into his memory for a bit, the knowledge that the original Yuu had probably learned would pop up.
However, as he thought about the possibility of having a test of being nominated during class, he was feeling uneasy.
As such, he was grateful for the opportunity to review and at the same time, secure the knowledge as his own.
Leaving aside the subjects Yuu, who was a liberal arts major, was good at, Japanese and social studies, studying science and mathematics again was a torture for him.
Even so, now that he was starting high school all over again, he had to keep up with the classes, so as he took the classes, he was in the middle of desperately trying to master the formulas and other things that a standard middle school student should naturally know.
From the second semester after the summer break, the boys' class at Sairyo Academy High School would be taking a college preparatory course, aiming to go on to college in order to pursue specific careers such as doctors or teachers.
If they only needed to obtain a high school diploma, they could take the regular course.
Students were required to choose one of the two courses.
The class would remain the same, but in some lessons, they would be divided.
Yuu had heard that the number of separate lessons would increase as they moved up through the grades.
Originally, Yuu was a college graduate.
However, as he was right now, getting into a college of the level he graduated from might be in jeopardy.
Would he be able to regain his former grades if he spent three years studying?
But then again, the number of jobs available to boys in this world was limited, so Yuu was the same in that he could not think of a career that he wanted to pursue.
「For the time being, I think I'm going to take the regular course, too. At the moment, there is no job that makes me want to take the college preparatory course, after all.」
「I see! For me, I would be happy if I could be with you all the time, Yuu-kun.」
「Hahaha. I see, you cutie pie!」
「Wha!」
Embarrassed by the frank confession of his feelings, Yuu ruffled Rei's head roughly.
No matter how androgynous and cute Rei was, Yuu harbored no strange feelings for boys.
Having been reborn in this totally strange world, while he was happy to be popular with girls, he was by no means without anxiety and loneliness.
For such Yuu, he was honestly happy to have a friend like Rei.
Eventually, the bus arrived in front of the condominium where Yuu and Rei lived.
By then, the number of students boarding the bus had gone down to about half.
The security guard got off first and pressed the button on the intercom.
They must have been standing by already. Kanako and Touko, Yuu's security personnel, and also Rei's two security personnel came down.
Surrounded by their respective security personnel, Yuu and Rei got on the elevator of the condominium.
