Danjohi ga Bukkowareta Sekai no Hito to Jinsei wo Koukanshimashita - Chapter 40-5
40.5. Glossary 1
● Protagonist of the original world (unnamed)
Since elementary school, he had always been thinking about how he could have a normal love affair because he was conscious that he had an appearance that was “the opposite of handsome”.
The answer he came up with was, “If I become an athlete, won’t I be popular?”
Of course, if he could become a national-level athlete, that might have been possible, but he chose martial arts, karate and judo, rather than other sports.
His efforts paid off, and his body became a rugged one suitable for martial arts. But as the result, he was further from being popular.
Not only he had a stern face, but now he also had thick arms and neck, and a big pumped-up body, as if he had become a gangster. So, he didn’t get the chance to have many conversations with women other than business-like conversations.
When he was a middle school student, his dream was to ride his bicycle home with a girl on the back and go on a karaoke date on a holiday, but not only it didn’t happen, the other person would get defensive just by normal chatting.
Furthermore, it was decided that he would go to a boys’ high school.
When he was shedding tears, the Goddess called out to him.
Although he felt that the Goddess’s story was suspicious, he decided to exchange lives, saying, “Even if there are some disadvantages, I’ll overcome it with my guts!”, and accepted the proposal of the goddess.
After that, the person who used this body changed lives with someone from a parallel world.
Thus, this body had a new owner.
Then, he (new) joined Wandervogel club in high school and continued to work as a mountaineer.
According to the Goddess, “He enjoyed his life to the fullest, and ended it with satisfaction.”. and also, She said he was a virgin all his life.
The Souya family
● Taketo Souya
School : Itsuki High School (1st year).
A handsome boy who had lived for 15 years in a world with an unbalanced gender ratio.
Because of his good-looking appearance, he was harassed by a large number of people, and was sold by the members of the group he was when in middle school 1st and 2nd year.
Thanks to the extra care of the group members he had when in his last year of middle school, he recovered to the point where he could talk normally with only those three girls.
But, when he heard the news that he had to go to a co-ed high school, he became mentally unstable, worse than before.
The Goddess feared that his spirit would collapse, so She resorted to the last resort means of exchanging lives with a person from a parallel world.
The person who exchanged life with him, was happy that finally a chance to lead a popular life had come, but was shocked to learn of a world where the male-female ratio was so broken.
Although he (MC) felt suspicious about the Goddess who didn’t tell anything important, “he” decided to live as Taketo Souya in this world.
As he learned more about this world, “…so, the only man who understands the feelings of those who aren’t popular… is me?”, was the thought that came to his mind.
Overlaying “women who aren’t popular” and his “former self”, he felt a sense of affinity with them.
And started to think, “I want to at least make the women around me happy.”
So he started to think about how to get closer to women, and invited the group members who were good to “him” when in middle school to go on a date.
After worrying about how to repay the kindness received from them, he thought of giving them a “free hug ticket”.
On the other hand, in high school, he first decided to make friends with girls who came from outside the Special Ward, and from there, he made a plan to get near to those girls and gradually became friends with the whole class. He selected four girls from their self-introductions.
Then he went on a date with the four members of the group in the area around Central Station.
After this good date, his desire to make the girls around him happy increased even more. In order to make it happen, he renewed his determination, saying, “Let’s be popular!”
Now, he’s readying himself to make his hope comes true.
