Sex Education Is A Must (1)

"Thanks for today, everyone. Let's meet again tomorrow, feeling good. Goodbye, teacher, goodbye, everyone."

It's after school in the classroom.

As the one on cleaning duty, I started tidying up the desks and sweeping the floor.

Yeah, all by myself.

Wait a minute, where did the other cleaning duty girls go?!!

Off to Hiroshi's place, huh? Got it. I understand you're busy, so I'll handle it here♪

Oh, you don't have to glare at me so much; I won't tell the teacher, so no worries.

Take your time~.

"Ha~"

The world of gender ratios is not what I expected.

No, it's fine; I don't need to be pampered or anything, right? I've got the memories of an old man, and from my perspective, I might be like a "grandchild" to them?

But seriously, what's going on?

There's something, right? Girls being nice and trying to show off around the boys!!

The ratio is one guy to seven girls, you know?

Such a rare guy, right?

What's with the glaring?

Is it all about looks? Even if the world changes, that rule doesn't change, huh?

I know it's ridiculous to compare myself to Hiroshi, but still.

It's kind of sad to see a fifth grader lamenting the ways of the world.

Well, there's no point in dwelling on such unproductive thoughts, so let's just finish cleaning quickly.

"Isn't it perfect with not a single piece of trash?"

Feeling satisfied with my work, I headed to the staff room to report, but I heard a loud voice coming from the principal's office?

"That's why, as 'Teen Boys,' we'd like to feature Hiroshi-kun on the front page."

"Teen Boys" is a fashion magazine aimed at teenagers, right?

It's a top magazine that's breaking sales records with a silly concept like "Delivering cool boys to girls across the country♪".

Wait, is Hiroshi-kun going to make his national debut? Isn't that amazing?

While I was getting all excited, I heard someone say, "I'm sorry."

Wow, Hiroshi-kun turned it down!

"It was a very grateful and honorable offer, but I've already secured my admission to the prestigious Sakusen Academy..."

Oh, right.

Sakusen Academy is a well-known elite school. All the boys there are chosen through scouting.

They have several perks, but with those come obligations, and appearances in magazines like this are handled by Sakusen's management.

From what Hiroshi said, it sounds like he's already signed a management contract with them. In this age of a boy shortage, that school has aspects like a talent agency.

Sakusen probably wants to make a big debut for Hiroshi once he officially enrolls. They likely want to avoid media exposure while he's still in elementary school.

"I see, that's too bad. I wanted to capture this moment of the blue fruit..."

The reporter sounded super disappointed.

But Hiroshi-kun really is amazing. The stuff he talks about is something that would never come up in my life.

Well, it doesn't concern me anyway. I'll just report to my homeroom teacher, Miho-sensei, and head home.

"Excuse me~" I opened the staff room door, and there were teachers eavesdropping at the principal's office door...

"Oh, the blue fruit... Slurp♪"

These guys are hopeless...

Today, we have sex education class starting from the fifth period.

I remember in my past life, the girls would go to a separate room to hear all sorts of things from the health teacher, but I wonder how it was for the kids these days? (The generation gap with the Showa era)

In this life, it seems like it's considered important for boys to get sex education, just like for girls.

Apparently, the boys these days are either the kind who are overly passive and herbivorous or the selfish, "my way or the highway" types.

...Huh?

What does that even mean?

I get the passive, herbivorous boys—they're basically victims, right? Or maybe they've been brainwashed by their parents?

If they've been taught since childhood that "girls are beasts! If you show any weakness, you'll get eaten alive!! (sexually)" or if they've been victims of group molestation incidents, then of course, they'd be scared.

But what about the selfish "my way or the highway" boys? I can understand it up to elementary school, but if they're still like that in middle school, high school, or even as adults, isn't that just sad for the guys in this country?

Isn't anyone going to scold them?

Wait, what? We have to treat boys with care?

If they rebel in a strong tone, they'll be disliked and ignored?

Hmm, I've never been treated like that before. In fact, I've been treated like a gopher by other girls.

Hmm, hmm, this school must be special. Or rather, this generation is just weird.

Hmm... Oh.

It's Hiroshi.

Oh, I see—it must be Hiroshi's influence.

By the way, where's Hiroshi? He's not here, right?

Wasn't the sex education class for the fifth-grade boys together?

I heard the girls and the teacher conspired to take him away.

They were all fired up, saying, "We're going to teach Hiroshi the right sex education!!"

Hmm, hmm, isn't this a bit of a problem?

I think I'll let the vice principal (a male teacher) know about this.

I'd rather avoid it becoming national news.

"Teacher, my stomach hurts, so I'm going to the bathroom."

Ten minutes later...

Wow, girls are really something else. They're like wild animals or something.

Their eyes were all glinting. The vice principal was totally taken aback.

But Hiroshi is on a different level. Even in that situation, he was like, "Everyone is so passionate, I felt embarrassed and shy♪" and he was totally chill about it.

I bet even if we hadn't done anything, he would have smoothly slipped away.

What happened to Hiroshi, you ask?

The vice principal drove him home. Hiroshi said he was fine, but still, you know how it is with appearances. They told him to take a break for two or three days.

And what happened to the girls?

They were all moved to the gym and made to sit in seiza. Of course, the teachers were included.

The principal is probably up on stage giving a heartfelt lecture right now.

He said he'd sit in seiza too to take responsibility, so no one can relax their legs.

(side: girls)

Ugh, what a missed opportunity!!

Hiroshi is going to be gone in a year; this might have been my last chance.

Why did the vice principal have to come in at that moment?! Who leaked the information?

Hiroshi definitely wouldn't have felt bad about it!!

So frustrating.

Two hours later...

I can't feel my lower body, and I can't even tell where my legs are. I'm really sorry; please forgive me. The numbness and pain are making it impossible to maintain my posture. Who's the one hitting my shoulder from behind with a wooden board? There's no way a teacher would do that.

I'm really begging you, help me.

(side: faculty)

I shouldn't have gone along with this plan. Three months of salary cut? I've got to pay for the high-definition camera I bought for today, and now I'm going to be living on bean sprouts starting tomorrow?

Seriously, is the principal still lecturing?

My bladder is about to burst from the cold in the gym.

What am I supposed to do if I lose my dignity as a lady here?

I'm really begging you.

Help me...
