Route Chaos + Harem: Three Way Annihilation

Prologue

April 1

Ayanokouji's POV

It's a bit sudden, but listen seriously to the question I'm about to ask and think about the answer carefully.

Question: Are people equal or not?
These days, all society loves to talk about is equality. People are calling for men and women to be treated equally, and shouting for society to get rid of inequality. They call for high employment rates for women, and personal-use cars for everyone, and they go as far as to find fault with the order of the register of names.

People even advocate equality for people with disabilities, and now the public is encouraged to stop using the term "disabled people." Children are being taught that everyone is equal.

Is that really true?, I wondered.
Men and women have different roles if they have different abilities. People with disabilities are still disabled, no matter what term they call disabled people. None of this has meaning if no one pays attention to it.

In other words, the answer is no. People are unequal beings; there are no truly "equal" people.

I was going to school on a bus, which had many passengers. I was sitting next to a sleeping white-haired boy who was somewhere around 6,3 wearing the same school uniform as me.

We were headed towards a very well-known popular school known as Advanced Nurturing High School or simply ANHS for short.

The school boasts about its 100% employment and college entry rate, while having thorough, state-directed teaching methods. I heard that the school was as big as 600,000 square meters.

"Don't you think you should give up your seat?"

For a moment, I opened my eyes which were about to close. Eh, by any chance, were you scolding me?
That's what I thought at first, but apparently, the person in front of me was being warned. A young, well-built, blonde-haired man was sitting down in the priority seat. I mean high school student.

The old woman was standing next to him. An office lady was next to the old woman. "You there, can't you see the old woman having trouble?" The office lady seemed to want him to hand over the priority seat to the old woman. In the quiet bus, her voice got louder and attracted the attention of the other people on the bus. "That's a really crazy question, lady." The boy might have been angry, ignorant, or perhaps brutally honest, but he just smiled and recrossed his legs. "Why should I give this seat to an old woman? There's absolutely no reason for me to give it up." "Isn't it natural to hand over the priority seat to the elderly?"

"I don't understand. Priority seats are just priority seats, and there is no legal obligation for me to move. Whether or not I move should be decided by me, who is currently sitting in this seat. Will you give up your seat because I am a young man? Hahaha, that's a stupid way of thinking. It's a manner of speaking that one wouldn't expect from a high school student.

His hair is dyed blond, and there are some unexpected traits for a high school student. "I am a healthy young man. Certainly, I don't feel that standing up would inconvenience me. However, it is obvious standing up will consume more physical strength than sitting down will. I don't want to do such a useless thing. Or maybe, are you telling me to be more lively and energetic?" "What, what kind of attitude is that towards your superiors!?"

"Superior? It's obvious that both you and the old woman have lived longer than me. There's no doubt about it. However, that 'above' refers to height. Also, I have a problem with you. Even if there is an age difference, isn't that an awfully rude and impertinent attitude?"

Somehow, I started to wonder what the other people would do. Looking around, people were pretending to not have noticed or had a hesitant look.

But the girl who was sitting next to me was completely different. Among the confusion, she had a completely expressionless look. When I stared at her unintentionally because of her strangeness, our eyes met for just a moment. I could tell that we shared the same thoughts.
