Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

1.
Day of determination

That day, the summer sun was constantly shining in the sky and the temperature projected on the large screen was 39 degrees Celsius, which also the hottest day of the year.
It was quite hard to do business outside on such a day.

Moreover, I did all-nighter for 3 days straight, so I was completely worn-out and sleepy.

Well, it was my own fault for joining a company like that treated me like that.

I had a normal life like others, played a lot while in university, and then joined a black corporation.
Sure, it was just a common thing in Japan those days.

My parents passed away and I had no relatives to rely on.

…Therefore, I couldn’t just quit my job as my salary was low and no savings in my bank.
And that was also the reason I had no time to search for another jobs.

“….Traffic jam?”

I tried to assess what I saw vaguely with my sleepless mind.
And maybe that was also why I was unaware of the screams around me.

And when I noticed….
Something felt unusual….
Yeah, my body was ‘messed up’.

“Tru…uck…”

The front of the truck was right in front of my face, and I could see the driver inside… he was not moving.

I finally realized that I was crushed in between the walls of a building and a truck, but I didn’t feel any pain anymore.

“Well… It can’t… be helped…”

I closed my eyes slowly.

“Let’s… Sleep… A lot…”

Then, I fell asleep, and my life was ended.

….Suddenly, I remembered something like that happened.

“How do I put it… It was a life without anything worth to mention.”

Nothing special happened in my previous life.
I couldn’t even comment properly about it.

“Ouch!”

Somehow my head was hurt.

Still, I tried to look around.

It was a place that I didn’t know….
but to some extent I knew where I was… Yeah, I was inside a hospital.

I slept in a hospital bed until now.

Why was I in such a place?

It was because I slipped and fell down the stairs at school.

Yeah, just because I remembered my previous life, it didn’t mean that I lost the memory I had in ‘This World’.

……From what I could remember, I fell down the stairs, hit my head, and my memory from my previous life came back, or something like that… but, there was nothing special about my previous life.
Maybe all of this happened because of ‘that’?… because I didn’t study much?….
or because I didn’t make enough effort?

Well, compared to that, now… Nope, I was not making any effort in here too.

But, I think, it was because of ‘This World’.

…‘This World’, the number of men in here was too low, so men were given preferential treatment, which was unthinkable in my previous life.
Well, if I were to say how low the number of men in here…..
compared to women, men were about one-twentieth of woman… the me from ‘This World’ never thought about this before, but I was amazed that humanity in here did a good job to not perished yet.

Based on the history of this world, the number of women seemed to increase a lot more than the men.

As the result, men had long been protected, well-paid, and be able to live without work in ‘This World’.
There was even such a word like, ‘If you born as a man, you’re the winner.’

Therefore, the men in here, they grew up being spoiled and looked down much on women.

Actually, the personality of the me from ‘This World’ was also bad.

Since I just got my memory of my previous life, I understand how bad it was.
The me from ‘This World’ never called mother, “Mom”, it was always, “Hey” or “Oi”.

“No, Not in a chance..”

I couldn’t help but to let the words out from my mouth.

…Let’s change it.

After all, it was really not something that I, who had the sense of values ​​of my previous life, could approve.

My parents in my previous life were died before I graduated from college, so I couldn’t do filial piety properly…

… At least now since I got a second chance to do that, I would definitely do that ‘here’.

Also, I had to study hard.
After all, I
