The graduation ceremony, which I attended at Yuna's invitation, unexpectedly touched my heart.

Yuna reads the speech as the representative of the graduating class.

Tsuki delivers the speech as the representative of the current students.

Just seeing the two of them, I couldn't help but feel moved.

During the last class photo shoot with my classmates, I found myself positioned in the middle between two boys while the girls surrounded us, capturing the moment in a photograph.

In the resulting photo, most of the girls had tears in their eyes.

Though I, (Yoru), don't have many memories of middle school, it seems like they truly enjoyed their time as middle school students.

The girls were saying farewell to the two boys.

No girl approached me to talk.

Even though it's supposed to be a graduation ceremony, no one spoke to me. Being avoided to this extent almost made me cry.

"Onii-chan, let's go home."

Finally, Tsuki called out to me.

Feeling so relieved, my hand instinctively reached out to pat her head.

"H-Hey! Don't do that here!"

Perhaps embarrassed by the attention around us, Tsuki scolded me in a low voice.

Well, at least I wasn't pushed away, so maybe it's not too bad? But as I glanced around, I noticed the female classmates were looking at us.

Maybe they thought it was creepy to pat her head as a brother? 

As soon as I met their gaze, they turned away as if trying to avoid me with all their might.

It seemed like Yuna was reluctant to part with her other friends, and both our moms came to pick us up.

Having finished a sad graduation ceremony, where I was avoided by girls other than my family and childhood friend.

I realized I might have been disliked by my classmates, although I hadn't noticed it until then, considering even my family found me creepy.

Understanding that I was considered creepy not only by my family and childhood friend but also by classmates, life goes on.

Compared to my past life, where I died from illness, I have a healthy and reasonably handsome appearance now. Just coming to the reversed chastity world I desired is already a blessing.

For the sake of the women who will someday seek me out, I need to maintain my physique.

With school completely gone, I started running.

After continuing for a week, I found solace in my high-performance body that didn't tire even after a 10-kilometer run.

"Hey, we meet again."

I turned around at the voice.

"Good morning, Rin-san."

Facing me was Rin Soma, a tall and slim beauty with a ponytail, dressed in running gear that accentuated her figure.

"Good morning."

Rin Soma, three years older than me, is becoming a college student this year. During this pre-enrollment period, our greetings turned into conversations as we both exercised, and now we've become training buddies.

"You're fast, Rin-san."

"I run every day, so."

Rin used to be a long-distance runner in the track and field club in middle and high school. Since she's been recommended to a university famous for its relay races, unlike me, she won't stop running.

"For me, it's independent training to avoid getting fat."

"If you skip training like that, you'll get fat quickly. Shall we do some gymnastics and intense training together today?"

With her forceful attitude, Rin takes my hands and starts exercising. It's a common occurrence, so I don't misunderstand, but I can't help but feel a flutter when she takes my hands.

Stretching by pulling each other and leaning back to back.

Once we finish the stretches, Rin suggests starting a workout routine she came up with. At first, she suggests doing squats while holding her like a princess.

Lifting a beauty like her feels like a reward in itself.

Rin maintains a serious expression as I lift her while keeping my arms crossed.

"There aren't any dumbbells to use as weights, so we have to make do," she said.

After squats, we move on to push-ups and sit-ups... When I do push-ups, I feel the soft sensation of her buttocks against my back.

And when I do sit-ups, my legs are held down, and her chest presses against my knees.

"Come on, come on, your pace is dropping. Put some more effort into it."

Feeling like my impure thoughts have been exposed, I feel embarrassed and end up doing more reps than usual.

"Yoru, your muscles have really developed. And have you gotten taller?" Rin says as she wipes the sweat off her body after finishing our workout and drinking some sports drink.

My height did increase after I was reincarnated. Currently, I'm over 180 centimeters tall.

"Really? I haven't measured my height recently, so I'm not sure. Well, they say men tend to gain muscle easily. Or maybe it's because I haven't been exercising until now?" 

I rolled up my shirt to show off my abs.

Gulp...

I hear the sound of swallowing saliva. When I look at Rin, she's drinking her drink while looking up at the sky.

I wanted her to look at my abs, but it's disappointing that she seems uninterested.

I thought I could show off my masculinity to the model-like beauty that is Rin, but it didn't go as planned.

"By the way, which high school are you going to, Yoru?" 

Rin changes the topic, so I stop doing sit-ups and slump my shoulders.

"It's Aoba High School nearby."  

I was already admitted when I was reincarnated.

"Oh, Aoba? Then you'll be my junior," 

"Wait, Rin-san, are you going to Aoba High School?!"

For girls, Aoba High School has the highest competition rate in this area. According to online information, this year's competition rate was said to be about 50 times. It's a famous high school known for having many students coming from other prefectures just to take the entrance exam.

"Haha, I got in through sports recommendation. Even so, I'm a regular player at the national level," Rin said, her slender yet assertive cleavage captivating.

"Now, let me give you one piece of advice as your senpai." 

Rin had a proud expression enhancing her beauty.

"Yoru, you have a fierce look in your eyes, and you tend to stare at women's bodies too much. Maybe you come off as creepy, so I think it's best not to get too close to other girls," Rin advises, delivering her opinion and reasoning.

So... I was considered creepy because I was blatantly showing my desires with my virgin-like gaze towards women.

Being called creepy by Rin is saddening.

But, if it's meant as advice...

"Thank you, Rin-san." 

Though I understood it was advice, I couldn't help but feel hurt being called creepy again as I ran away.
