Kanbayashi-sensei's speech continued.
「Starting from today's after school, the club activities observation will start. So I say, but there are only a limited number of clubs that you boys can join, so I don't think you will go to the sports clubs even by mistake, though.」
As the teacher said so, the students nodded to each other as if to say, 「That's given」.
In this world, women were the main players in sports as well. Although not in the same level as in the world Yuu knew, professional baseball also existed.
However, the reason why it had not become so popular as to become a national sport was probably because the population and fans had ended up migrating to softball as well.
As they had a small population, there were no men's team sports, and they had only barely managed to keep individual amateur matches going.
In order for it to continue as a professional sport, they could not help but have women act as main players, which meant, gender reversal had occurred in this field as well, such was what Yuu had gleaned from the materials he read in the library.
Among the men of the past, there were also some men of valor who trained hard in an attempt to become professionals and participate in the matches, which were dominated by female players.
However, faced with repeated sexual harassment and with the fate of being kept as sexual relief worker for the stronger female players awaiting them, they never attained success.
At some point, men's sports were reduced into nothing but a hobby, and in the world of culture and entertainment, they were able to make use of their talents without losing out to the women.

「What are you going to do about your club activities, Hirose-kun?」
「Hmm? Club activities, huh…」
Lunch break.
The school had a bread store and a cafeteria, but lacking the courage to mix with the girls who were occupying the majority of these places, the first-year boys were eating their bento in the classroom.
In this world where gender reversal had occurred, the public stance was that women were to go out into the world and work, while about half of the men were to hold down the fort at home.
However, after the new law came into effect, in relation to the even greater allowances for households with men, most of them had ended up deciding to hire a housekeeper.
With the introduction of a housekeeper and once their children grew to a certain age, men who were freed from housework and childcare gradually integrated into the society.
There, they made new connections with new women and sowed their baby seeds.
Due to the domino effect where it allowed way more women to bond with men, as opposed to just a fixed minimum number of wives, the new law had obtained the approval of the majority of the population. In exchange, though, it came with a system where women who never had the chance to give birth were levied with heavier taxes.
At any rate, all the boys in this classroom brought their own bento prepared either by their fathers or housekeepers.
At Yuu's place, too, Akiko went out of her way to deliver the lunch boxes at 7:30 a.m. from the day the high school classes started.
Naturally, she received an increase in her overtime salary for this, but as a result, he was able to eat a delicious bento every day, so it was something he was very grateful for.
The person who just spoke to Yuu was Higashino Rei, who was seated in front of him.
Sporting bobbed hair-styled longish black hair, fair-skinned and androgynous features, and a height of about 160 cm, he was a boy who would not seem strange even if others said that he was a girl.
His personality was also quiet and reserved.
He most likely did it unconsciously, but even the sidelong glance that he sometimes showed when turned back to look at him had a sexiness in it that made Yuu feel something strange inside, even though he was a man.
Based on his impression on the first day, Yuu thought: I think he would look good if I had him dress up as a girl; but he was surprised to hear that the person in question had actually worn girls' clothes until elementary school and accepted them without any resistance.
Yuu thought that most of the boys in this classroom were dainty and lacked the masculinity that he knew, but that, too, was inevitable.
