Transmigrated into a World of Reversed Roles
Chap 5

Time passed quickly. After I helped my parents with their work, the sun began to set and I returned to my room.

The room I liked. The room I had decorated with great effort using my entire game collection, now became a clean and unfamiliar space.

"More or less like a girl’s room in my old world."

I had never visited another girl's room besides my mother's, but I was sure their rooms looked exactly like mine now.

Some novels that Mom said I "often" read were arranged on the study desk shelf. The novel collection wasn’t as big as my game collection, but it was already solid with one complete series lined up.

On my bed, I also just realized that there were several teddy bears lying around. It was hard to imagine myself liking such dolls, but I guess it's quite normal for boys in this world.

Honestly, I wanted to find out what kind of person I was in this world by reading some of those “favorite” novels. Unfortunately, there's something else I want to find out now.

I looked at the wall clock hanging above. It showed that it was already nine at night.

“Tomorrow is Monday and I have to wake up early for school. Maybe an hour of internet browsing will be enough.”

I sat down at the computer desk and turned it on. Although the model was older than mine, as long as it worked, I was already happy.

Maybe I should also be grateful that the way of operating things here is exactly the same as before. From my observation so far, the only difference is the reversed gender roles.

But I’m also not sure if that’s the only thing that changed.

That’s why I thought about browsing the internet to broaden my insights about this world.

My fingers moved to press the keyboard. Although it felt a little awkward because I hadn’t used a keyboard in a long time, my typing was still smooth and wrote down what I wanted to search.

Quickly, I was given answers.

I rubbed my chin while reading information about this world through the computer.

"Hmm, so the history of this world is still the same as in my old world. Although many famous historical figures had their genders swapped, like those who were supposed to be male became female and vice versa."

The rest was exactly the same. So identical it made me confused and feel weird.

"Arthur Pendragon here is a woman... In this world, there’s no Holy Grail War happening somewhere, right?"

I’m not a student who’s good at history, but I at least still know about famous people from the past and the general outline of the world.

"If gender roles are reversed, some parts of history should have changed. Or, maybe there were minor changes and I just didn’t notice?"

Well, but what can I expect from a quick search on the internet. If I wanted to know the history in detail, the only way is probably to go back in time and see it with my own eyes.

Still, earlier I hoped there was some explanation as to why in this world women became dominant and men became the opposite.

The only reason I could find here was the fact that women are more dominant because they can impregnate men and their physical strength is superior.

Although that should be enough, for some reason it felt...

"It feels like this world was created by some certain being who just wants to have fun. They don’t really care about the rest and just focus on the reversed reality of gender roles."

I fell silent for a moment.

The room felt quiet. My heartbeat was in sync with the ticking of the wall clock, until it was disrupted by a loud creak from the window I hadn’t closed.

I exhaled.

“Looks like I’ve played too many games. I barely understand everything here, why did I even come to that conclusion?”

I decided to continue my search a little more. I wanted to find a scientific reason why men could get pregnant here.

And quickly, my brain burned out from the amount of info I couldn’t understand. Lots of new organs in the reproductive area with added names I didn’t recognize, and I didn’t understand a single thing about them.

Though luckily, I still understood one thing. The men who get pregnant here give birth through...

“That’s enough internet for today. One hour has passed, and it’s time to sleep.”

I turned off the computer directly by pulling the cable and turned off the light.

Laying my body on the bed that was strangely comfortable with a mixed feeling of familiar and foreign, I rested my mind.

I’m not trying to act like a model student who never comes late. It’s just, I realized my obsession with games has gone too far and if I don’t balance it with school... I’m not sure I could survive after graduation...

“Oh... speaking of games, I forgot to look that up... I hope the Monster Hunter series... still exists in this world...”

And with that, hearing the sound of my own breathing as the last thing, my consciousness faded.

The next morning, I woke up at the time I had set.

I got ready right away.

From cleaning myself with a shower, checking what books I needed to bring today, breakfast, and finally leaving.

“Dad, has Mom already gone to work?”

I asked casually to Dad who was washing dishes in the kitchen while I was tying my shoes.

“Yeah. She even woke up earlier than I did. Haah... If only she waited a bit, she could’ve taken her lunch with her.”

“Hopefully she’ll have time to buy lunch there then. Anyway, I’m heading out now, Dad!”

“Be careful out there!”

I opened the door.

The morning dew, though cold, still felt refreshing. Monday, my least favorite day, at least became a little better with its presence. The sun greeted me again today, but I ignored it.

Yona’s house isn’t far from mine. When I passed by, I reflexively looked at it. But I didn’t see any sign of her presence.

Maybe she’s still out jogging like yesterday, maybe she already left for school, or maybe she’s still asleep.

Unconsciously, I felt a little relieved that I didn’t have to meet her right away after what happened yesterday.

“Even though I said ‘see you at school’ yesterday... what kind of reaction should I give when we meet later?”

I felt that overthinking wouldn’t help. So I stopped thinking about it and decided to just face it properly at school.

“But I am curious about my friends at school. How would they be different here?”

I muttered while walking, until I finally arrived at the train station that would take me to school.

Even though my school is in the neighboring city, at least the station heading there is close to my house. So I don’t need any additional transportation to get there quickly.

“Ugh, still. The station is as crowded as ever. The number of males and females is still the same as in my old world.”

I squeezed into the train. From office workers, students, and other people who had morning routines, they all gathered here.

At first, I wanted to find a comfortable spot even if I had to be sandwiched between people. But apparently, I had underestimated the strength of the people here. I was swept by the wave of bodies and pushed against the train wall.

I felt dizzy, my head hit the wall, and my body felt weak. I didn’t realize it yesterday, but it seems like the fact that males have weaker bodies here is true.

“What now...”

Just when I thought I would be crushed again by the pressing crowd, one person among them suddenly moved and stood in front of me.

She placed one of her hands on the train wall behind me, giving me space to breathe, while she held back the crowd with her own body.

“A-Are you okay!?”

I looked at my savior. She was a girl. Her facial features were hidden due to her long bangs, and she looked at me with a worried expression.

“Thank you...”

Those words just came out of my mouth.

The girl immediately looked relieved after hearing my reply. Even though she was shorter, her strength was clearly greater than mine as she continued to hold back the people behind her.

I had never seen this girl in the old world. She wore the same uniform as me, was she a first-year?

Then, after a few seconds of thinking about who she might be, I realized my current position.

“Isn’t this... a kabedon by a girl?”

“Umm?”
