Chapter 83 Part 2

「I would like to ask you one question.」

Kanako, who had straightened up her posture, looked at Yuu and asked….

「Yuu-sama, do you remember the contents of the 『Life Safety Guide for Boys』?」

「The 『Life Safety Guide for Boys』?」

「Yes. From what I heard, it is handed out to all boys when they graduate from elementary school.」

He did feel like he had seen a booklet with such a name written on it in his desk drawer.

As he reached back into his memory, it seemed that he had flipped through the contents of the booklet and read it briefly when it was handed out.

Though, more than three years had passed since then, so he didn’t remember the details.

「Hmm. I do remember reading it, but I don’t think I remember much about it.」

「Well, I suppose that is just how it is.」

Kanako gave a small sigh.

There were probably few people who read it enthusiastically.

Touko took over the talk.

「It is written in the 『Life Safety Guide』, but even if you get attacked by a woman, it is not recommended to resist. As a rule, the only move you can use is to run away. On top of that, you ought to ask for help from your security personnel, guards, the police, or others around you.」

「Huh… isn’t that….」

「In case there is more than one sex offender, it is often premeditated and it can be difficult to resist or escape. Even if it is just a spontaneous solo attack, the other party is in a state of excitement, so if you thoughtlessly resist, it might result in injury or even loss of life in the worst-case scenario. The best thing to do is not to act without an escort and stay away from places filled with nothing but women.」

「Ugh….」

Both of these were things that Yuu had done.

「Even so, Yuu-sama, do you still want to learn self-defense technique?」

「Y… Yes. I do.」

「In that case, you should look for a male expert….」

「Can’t you two teach me?」

「It, it is not that we can’t, but….」

「If that’s the case! I think it would end up putting an extra burden on both of you, but please, I beg of you!」

Three months had passed since his rebirth, but he still felt uncomfortable about being protected by women.

The reason why Yuu wished to train his body as soon as he was discharged from the hospital or to have the bare minimum skills to fight was probably due to the instincts that he originally had as a man.

Though, he was contradicting himself as he asked help from his security personnel, who were women.

Having Yuu bow his head toward them, Kanako and Touko couldn’t refuse.

「Neki.」

Kanako showed a troubled look as Touko poked her with her elbow, but it wasn’t like she truly disliked the idea.

「Well then, when shall we start? Tomorrow just happens to be Sunday, so… Ah, you have an appointment at 10:00 a.m., right?」

Kanako muttered as she turned around and looked at the timetable.

「Ahh! Now that you mention it…」

Yuu remembered that Inui Rumiko, an official of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, had contacted them the night before yesterday.

◇ ◇ ◇

At 8:30 on Sunday morning, Yuu came to the Saitama Training Center of MALSOK, Kanako and Touko’s company.

The purpose was to learn the basics of self-defense and how to carry himself in case he was attacked by a woman.

Though, since they needed time to travel to their next appointment, they could only stay there for about an hour at most.

When they went down to the basement, he saw a place that appeared to be a training area, half of which was a judo hall with tatami mats, and the other half was covered with low rebound mats that looked like it could be used for wrestling.

As expected, it’s early in the morning, so there’s no one here; so Yuu thought, but in fact, Kanako had called the day before and reserved the place for their use.

Told to wear something easy to move in, Yuu was wearing the school’s designated short-sleeved gym clothes and shorts.

However, as soon as the two saw it, they begged him to put on the top and bottom of jerseys that were in the training area.

Kanako was wearing a gray tank top with a white T-shirt on top of it and black leggings on the bottom.

Unlike her usual pantsuit, the thin garment showed off the lines of her body well, so he couldn’t help but get captivated by the wonderful proportions of her body.

「First, let me show you how it’s done! Yuu-sama, come at me!」

When Yuu stood on the judo floor after putting on the jersey, Touko, who was wearing a judo gi – moreover one with a black belt – said with pride.

She didn’t appear to be wearing an undershirt, so maybe she had her bra directly underneath it.

Though, regardless of whether she was wearing it underneath or not, the bulges on her chest were modest in size, so it didn’t seem like it would have much of an effect.

「Ah, hey…」

「Alright, here I come!」

Kanako was about to stop him, but Yuu, who had become eager to go at it, drew closer to Touko from the front as he tried to do Kumite (literally grappling hands, a technique from karate).

155 cm tall, Touko was particularly petite among the women of this world.

According to Kanako, despite her appearance, she was a specialist in anti-personnel combat, but combined with a face so young that she could pass for a middle or high school student, she totally didn’t look like someone qualified to serve as a security personnel.

He had actually seen Kanako in action, but he had never seen Touko fight until now.

That might have been precisely why he had let guard down.

The moment Yuu thought he had had the hand he had carelessly outstretched grabbed, he felt as if Touko’s figure disappeared.

In fact, with a movement so fast that it couldn’t be followed by the eyes, she had gotten in close to Yuu’s chest and gotten into position for a throw.

In an instant, as soon as he thought that his body had floated into the air, he felt an impact as his butt landed on the tatami mat, and he found himself getting subjected to Hadaka-jime (naked choke) on the neck from behind.

Though, since she didn’t seem to be trying to choke him for real, it didn’t hurt, but he couldn’t help but get stunned. Most likely, I’ve been hit by some kind of hip throwing technique; so Yuu thought.

「Mufufu. Yuu-sama, I got you.」

「A, ahaha. You got me.」

But the smug act of Touko, who was more like hugging him from behind rather than choking him, had to end there.

「Hey!」

Thwack!

「Ouch!」

When Yuu turned around after noticing that Touko had let go of him, he saw Touko holding her head with tears in her eyes, seemingly to have had a fist dropped on her head by Kanako.

「What would you if Yuu-sama got injured!」

「I, I’m sorry.」

After that, through Yuu’s mediation, Kanako’s anger somehow subsided and they decided to start over from the very beginning.

「When she was in high school and at a vocational school, she was at the national level in the lightweight judo division, after all. That body movement is not something that you can learn overnight.」

「Well, that’s certainly true.」

「We have limited time, so today is more of a quick introduction to self-defense, or perhaps an emergency lesson on the basics. Let’s see… for example, in cases where the opponent is alone…」

「What should I do if I were suddenly restrained from behind and got my mouth covered?」

「From behind?」

What Yuu had in mind was the time when he got dragged into a toilet stall at the kendo tournament.

If the other party had been a gorilla-like woman, he might have put up a serious resistance, but he didn’t think he would be able to win against her in terms of strength. In that case, what to do?

「I guess we’d have to actually try doing it! You play the attacker role, Kanako-san.」

「Huh?」

Turning his back on her, Yuu said to the bewildered Kanako.

「U… Umm….」

「Now, we don’t have much time, so come on!」

「Haa.」

Having no choice, Kanako moved closer to Yuu’s back.
