Episode 5: "With a strong mentality, he endures low-level labor"

　Even though I'm known for being insensitive, after living here for half a year I realize that this world is crazy.

　Because it was obviously strange. There were no young men walking around the city, there was no sign of a war in the air, and when I was cooling off shirtless after scrubbing a gutter, women lined up to stare at me with their saliva in their eyes, and when I was waiting in line at the guild reception, a woman pretended to be casual but started touching my chest and buttocks.

　This is chastity reversal.

　I sometimes have lunch with Wes, the receptionist, but it seems that the birth rate of boys in this world is only 1/4. Also, everyone is indifferent to sex, and they don't have the same urge to get a girlfriend as in the original world, and they don't have their heads filled with erotic thoughts during adolescence and can't concentrate on their studies. When I was in middle school, my head was always filled with erotic thoughts, and I told them I wanted to hold a dick more than a mechanical pencil, and they were shocked.

　Aren't the men in this world a bit too indifferent? Even though the idea of chastity between men and women is reversed, the women in the original world are more sultry and erotic. Although, Wes may just not have a particular sexual desire.

　And so, on top of having the same libido as a man in my original world, there are no people to fall in love with around here, and even if I wanted to let off some steam, I don't have the money to go to a brothel, so I find myself living surrounded by hungry, lecherous women.

　That being said, it's not like I was suddenly taken into the dark and there was this whole "Metal Rod Wa-shoi! Meat Rod Wa-shoi!" thing going on, so my chastity is still intact.

　This is probably thanks to the prestige of the guild. Adventurers may be an outlaw profession, but there is still order in the way they dress, even though they are shunned by society. The point is, the guild has tacitly declared that they will protect me, so if I were to give in to my carnal desire and rape them, I don't know what I'd be subjected to... That's why I'm keeping quiet.

　Well, if I'm wearing light clothing I can feel people staring at me. It's much better than just being stared at, and it's not going to reduce the number of people staring at me.

　The only problem is that I don't have anyone to form a party with.

　It's a well-known fact in the guild that I don't have any magical power, and I'm known to be the weakest by far.

　Well, I've gotten the hang of it in the last six months, so I can hunt something like a big-horned rabbit, but even ordinary citizens can hunt them... In fact, even kids sneaking outside through holes in the wall hunt them for fun. Whenever they see me, they provoke me, saying things like, "You're an adult, but you can't even beat a rabbit?" and "You should quit being an adventurer and get married soon."

　In this world, I have a fighting ability less than that of a brat.

　This is a picture of a group of children genuinely concerned about a beautiful woman who is struggling in a dangerous job that she has chosen despite not being suited to! However, when these children later find out that adults are making vile advances on their beloved woman, their sexual proclivities become distorted! ≫

　There's no way anyone would accept someone like me as a member of their group... Well, to be precise, there is a woman who rubs my ass with sticky hands and says, "I'll raise you, so become my man...♥", so I turn her down.

　Go home woman, are you really worth 2.5 sets of Flame Dragon Exposure!?

　Fortunately, the guild master, Deabolica, has said, "It's fine as long as you grow slowly," so for the past six months I've been able to work at my own pace, taking in odd jobs like clearing drains and getting rid of rats.

　Cleaning sewers, which are full of horse and human waste, is a job that makes me turn my nose up at the thought of it, but I discovered that I can cut down on the stench by using [Pain Resistance]. [Disease Resistance] protects me so I don't get sick, and [Mental Resistance] makes routine work less of a pain, so I can do it without any strain.

　And the best part is hearing people's thanks. Maybe because it's a job that nobody wants to do, people in the town say thank you quite often. And after I'm done, I can get rid of the smell by pouring well water over my head and taking a bath. It's a bit strange that people say thank you even after I've taken a bath.

　However, I've found it strange that recently Deabolika has been asking me things like, "Um... aren't you starting to get tired of your job?"

　I have no reason to get tired of doing a job that people appreciate, and recently I've been able to hunt big-horned rabbits and I can feel my own progress, so I answer, "No, not at all! It's rewarding and it gives me more energy than ever!", but every time I say that he just walks off with a puzzled look on his face, saying, "Is that so..."

　I guess she's worried that I'm becoming upset about my slow development.

　I see they care about low-level employees like me too...I can't believe it.

　However,

　Deabolica says he doesn't mind how slowly I grow, but it's been half a year already, so I do feel like it's time to step up.

　That's why I summon the cheat vending machine like this every night...

"My coins aren't increasing..."

　I tilted my head and looked at the vending machine that had appeared in one of the rooms at the inn.

　Over the past six months, the number of cheat coins has not increased by a single coin.

　...No, isn't that strange? I've been trying my best for the past six months, but I haven't been recognized for it at all? Aside from the extermination of the giant horned rabbits, I've been doing work that people appreciate, like cleaning sewers and finding lost cats. I guess things that anyone can do don't deserve recognition.

　It's possible that no matter how good you do in life, you won't be rewarded until you die, so your coins won't increase, but if that's the case, it's strange that you can summon a vending machine. If you can summon a vending machine, your coins should increase while you're alive.

　By the way, I've been pretty hungry in the last six months, but I've never committed a crime. I could have stolen from people hanging their wallets unguarded in bars, but I would have lost my reputation and had my coins confiscated. Cheat coins are more valuable than small change, so of course I'm not going to steal. I don't intend to change this stance in the future. Crime is a no-no, absolutely. I think it's not about good sense, but about wanting cheats, it's about cash.

　That aside...

"After all, there's no point in having magic without it. I want even just one magic power..."

　Being an adventurer in this world made me keenly aware that without magical power, there was really no point in being an adventurer. Even in frontline jobs, magical power is used to increase attack and defense power, so if your magical power is low, you won't be able to penetrate the enemy's armor, and even if you get hit with a blow, you'll receive a life-threatening injury. Those with low magical powers can't make it as adventurers in the first place.

　In addition, in this world, women generally tend to have stronger magical powers than men. No matter how muscular a man may look, he will lose if he arm-wrestles with a woman with strong magical powers. So fighting is mainly a woman's job, and weaker men stay at home and cook and take care of children, according to Wes-san's traditional culture. He apparently works at the reception desk because he wants to make an advance in society in his own way as a man. Hmmm.

　Well, it's a treat for the eyes to see female adventurers in such lewd, fashion-first outfits, like bikini armor or see-through clothing that reveals the lines of their bodies thanks to their magic, that it makes you think, "Are you kidding me on the battlefield?" It seems that the women in this world are indifferent to the gazes of men, or rather, they have little awareness that they are objects of men's sexual desires, and even if you stare at them, far from feeling disgusted, they just wave back nonchalantly. You guys, realize how perverted you are. It's a crazy world, really.

　Ah, but still...

"How can I get more coins...?"

　After Yuuji disappeared upstairs, the bar regained its lively vitality.

　As the rowdy adventurers sipped their ales, the only thing they talked about was heroism. That's how it had been for a while now.

"Yuji was sexy today too."

"Yeah, the big-horned rabbit's charge had made a hole in his armour, exposing his groin area from his side. You could see his muscles. But he didn't seem to care at all, and just carried the rabbit on his back with the same nonchalant attitude as always. You could even see his armpits."

"Wow, it's amazing. In the summer, he'll be shirtless and rinsing the gutter. The stench will make your nose turn, but the audience will gather in a circle and stare at him. And when he's done, they'll all say 'Thank you!' He seemed happy to be thanked for doing a job that no one wanted to do."

"That's to say thank you for giving me something to wank about, right? I definitely wanked when I got home."

"Well, I suppose so. If a precious man were to be exposed with his upper body exposed and defenseless, anyone would use it as masturbation material. That's what was concentrating all the sewer sweeping work on Eugenie."

"No, the government should hire a contractor to clean up the sewer themselves... I guess the residents would be happier if Eugeo exposed himself half-naked?"

"Seriously, Eugenie, you need to be aware of how perverted you are. There's no one else who's as perverted and unaware as you are. You're almost bordering on being a nymphomaniac."

　In our world, this would be like a poor beautiful girl who works hard every day cleaning up sewers wearing only a bra on her top, without a single frown! No matter how many people stare at her breasts, she's the perfect swindler who doesn't care at all and waves her hand back at them! ≫

"It's just so annoying when a guy like that drinks ale at a bar with a face like he's a cool lone wolf."

"It doesn't seem like he's trying to suck up to women or parasitize them. With so little magical power, most people would either give up on being an adventurer quickly or try to use his manhood as a weapon to curry favor with strong women."

"It's like he's trying to do it all on his own. Even though he doesn't have any talent, it's so brave. When I see things like that…"

"Please rape me!!"

　The female adventurers pointed at one another in unison and clinked their mugs while laughing vulgarly, "Gahahahaha."

"That's right! I just want to drag her into the dark and rape her!"

"Sex that makes you understand! Sex that makes you understand! Meat rod wasshoi! Meat rod wasshoi!"

　Of course, these female adventurers were extremely stupid and vulgar, but Yuuji is also to blame for continuing to spew out his eroticism without realizing how sexy he was. Specifically, both of them had paid to watch Yuuji change his clothes live on the second floor of the inn. They thought that since he was a businessman who would pay people to watch him change his clothes, it was okay to use him as material for dirty talk. However, Yuuji didn't make a single penny out of it.

　This wasn't just limited to these two, most of the customers at this bar had seen Yuuji change clothes in front of them. It was a shared masturbation material for the guild.

　As an aside, the female adventurers having this vulgar conversation are a thick-thighed, pure-looking swordsman who could be the heroine in any other fantasy world, and a smart-looking wizard with bob hair and glasses. Due to a chronic shortage of men, the vulgar and slack atmosphere of a real girls' school has spread throughout society. Or maybe it's a boys' school because the chastity system is reversed?

　A ram lost amongst such a flock of carnivorous females would likely be devoured within seconds, but of course there was a reason why Yuushi had managed to remain a virgin for six months.

"So, who will end up taking Eugene's virginity?"

"Well, you're the hottest bet right now. But it has to be someone from a high-ranking party, right? The Guild Master is encouraging it."

"No, that's a naive outlook."

　The intellectual magician took a big bite of the rabbit skewer and, his glasses shining intelligently, pointed the skewer at the voluptuous swordsman.

"The top players will get top results no matter what, so there's not much point in giving them a reward. It would be better for the guild if we gave a reward to a mid-ranking player, and that would skyrocket their loyalty. In my opinion, Ursuna is probably the best choice."

"Oh, I see. But wouldn't the higher-ranking parties be upset if a lower-ranking party snatched the reward instead of them?"

"Well, that's one way of looking at it. But if you're in a high-ranking party, you don't have to be so hung up on Eugenie; you can buy as many men as you want, right? The ones who want men the most are the mid-ranking members who don't have the money to go to a brothel, but have potential."

"I see. But you can't generalize about men and women. I'm sure there aren't some high-ranking players who specifically want Eugeo. After all."

"Your dick is big."

　After singing in harmony, the female adventurers let out vulgar laughs, Gahhahahahaha, clinking their mugs and gulping down their drinks.

　The size of a man's penis doesn't really determine a man's worth, but it's still generally considered better to have a bigger penis. If it's too big, it just hurts, but these guys are just mouths and virgin masturbators, so they don't understand that.

　All the virgin men in our world love big breasts! Some lolicons go for younger women because they lack self-confidence, but most men think big boobs are better!

　So in a world where chastity is reversed, virgins love big dicks!

　Putting that aside, the reason why no one has laid a hand on Yuuji yet is because he is under the protection of the guild.

　What's more, the Guild Master's Deabolika had gone around telling this to promising adventurers.

"You've been doing a great job for us, and you must be earning a comfortable income now, right? Why not consider starting a family now? It's nice to have a husband to welcome you back home. Right now, I've met a lovely boy. I don't have the talent to be an adventurer, so I'll be giving up on that soon, but he understands the work of an adventurer, so he would be the perfect husband! He's good-looking, has good manners, and loves to work for others. Of course, I've gotten his permission, and he will be retiring from adventure soon. If you want to see him, you can go see him on the second floor of a bar that we're friendly with.

　Now, I'm only bringing this up because of you... but if there are other people who can contribute more to the guild, it may be possible to take this to them. So... you understand, right?

　The guild's adventurers were greatly inspired.

　I told this to all the single people in the middle to upper classes.

　This was a typical example of the double-dealing diplomacy of the Great Brishab nobility.

　Thanks to this, the guild's performance improved greatly, to the point where it was nearly three times that of the adventurer's guilds in other towns.

　One would think that Deabolika would be very happy about this, but now he was turning pale. There were two reasons for this.

　One reason is that adventurers have become too heated. The battle for Yuushi has become very heated without the adventurers knowing. The higher-ranking parties clash and trade looks whenever they meet, while the lower-ranking parties who are not involved in the battle bet on him and pile up money. The guild's performance has improved greatly, but in return, the relationships within the guild have become very strained. Even if a winner emerges who manages to marry Yuushi, it is becoming increasingly doubtful that the other parties will be happy with the situation.

　Another thing is that even after six months had passed, Yuuji still showed no signs of giving up on being an adventurer. Deabolika was worried and went to see him almost every day to try to get him to give up, but Yuuji, who was constantly being forced to do 3D jobs like cleaning sewers and finding cats, just couldn't take it. It didn't seem like he had the mentality of a normal person.

"W-what should we do, Wes?! If this continues, the guild will fall apart...!"

"Wouldn't it be better if I just died? (That's a problem.)"

"The opposite!"

　Thus, Yuuji became the center of attention in the guild, but he was the only one who was carefree. He intends to remain a virgin until he dies, but aside from that, he wants a girlfriend. He wants to date a girl who is shy and cute (according to the original world's standards).

　It's impossible.
