Chapter 87 – End of Friend’s turn

“Jintarou-sama… Your Excellency?”

“Wh-wh-wh-who are you talking about?”

Yuji responded by calling out my name again. In response, I made a fake smile and moved my head in a stiff motion, then asked him back.

Then, my chubby classmate removed his swimming goggles from his head and gazed directly at me.

‘Hey, Yuji…if you take off those goggles, I won’t be able to use the Flash Stone to escape.Though, I can’t even escape using means that might impair Yuuji’s eyesight.’

“That’s a gesture of staring intently at a minor officer.”

“Huh?”

“I’ve seen that look many times in Clan-Klan… You’re Jintarou-sama, right?”

So that’s what it is… I had unconsciously made a disgusted gesture towards Yuji many times, and the same is happening now as well.

I couldn’t deny it.

“Ah…”

“As I thought, there was no mistake! What a magnificent beauty!”

There it is!

This is not the time to point that out!

“If you look at it many times, you’ll understand. It’s undoubtedly the silver-haired angel, Jintarou-sama…!”

“O-oh, yes… Ah, Yuji, if you get any closer, I’ll scream.”

“Sir yes sir! I understand! I will never commit a folly that invades Futsu-kun’s space!”

At this point, I thought I had stepped on a minefield that is my excited classmate with his bloodshot eyes.

“I have a question! From your words and actions, it seems certain that you are Futsu-kun himself! However, have I gone crazy!?”

“Hmm?”

“Why such a silver-haired beauty?”

That’s right….

That’s the question.

“Ah…”

I swallowed my saliva and forced out a trembling voice.

“I-I seem to have had a gender-change. It’s that strange disease that is sometimes talked about in the news…”

I didn’t care anymore.

I confessed to Yuji easily.

Then, Yuji stared at me again from head to toe with his eyes wide open. Although I felt uncomfortable with his gaze, I endured it.

“From the day I saw Futsu-kun at the convenience store, I couldn’t forget the loveliness… How many times has the officer’s soul been taken away by the looks that are just like anime heroines…”

As I watched my classmate slowly and steadily begin to monologue, I went into a state of alertness.

‘Should I use the Flash Stone after all?’

Previously, even when I heard Yuji talk about his love for the anime girl he adored, I was merely curious, thinking ‘Do you really like her that much? Maybe I should check out the anime a little bit.’ However, when I was faced with those same feelings myself, it was quite a mental blow.

“So, Taru-sama, I mean, Futsu-kun… Have you told Asahi Nahana-kun and Higure Hikaru-kun?”

“No… I haven’t told Yuuki or Kouya about this yet…”

Upon hearing about my situation, Yuji’s excitement as a perverted animal subsided and he had become serious.

While slightly surprised at Yuji’s change, I was able to regain some composure through his silence.

“Please don’t tell Yuuki or Kouya yet…”

As Yuji stared at my eyes, his face was not the usual enraptured expression when admiring a beautiful girl, but rather completely serious.

“However…”

I continued to make demands without letting Yuji respond or argue.

“Please.”

“…”

A long silence fell between Yuji and I.

Our gazes meet.

I, a young boy wearing a white sister’s uniform, and Yuji, a chubby high school boy in tight swim trunks.

It was a mismatched combination, but we ended up meeting each other gazes.

It was something I could not give up on.

When I tell my two best friends, I want to be prepared and say it myself. Under no circumstances should it be conveyed from Yuji to them.

“Why didn’t you tell those two?”

Yuji looked at me with a strong gaze and quietly asked.

I already had an answer for him.

“Because I’m scared.”

“Why? Asahi-kun and Higure-kun won’t treat you different.”

“Yuji you treat me different!”

I thought my voice sounded weak.

My emotional appeal to my classmate was like a child’s cry, unable to contain the overwhelming feelings that burst forth.

“You are staring at me like a girl in an anime!”

But I couldn’t stop now.

“You and I talked about anime and gal games with Kouya and got excited about it sometimes. You’re the friend who helped me borrow the shower room in the swim club after I embarrassingly wet myself. But still, Yuji! You’ve changed! Before I became like this, you never looked at me like that or acted like that!”

I spoke in a rush, and now I was out of breath.

“I am who I am. Futsu-kun.”

I placed my hand on my soft and flat chest and assert myself as much as possible.

However, Yuji was not intimidated or sympathetic to me. He just looked at me with clear eyes, as if he had realized something.

“Yes, indeed. Futsu-kun is still Futsu-kun. But, Kouya-kun is still Kouya-kun.” Yuji said, with a courageous smile on his face

“And I haven’t changed in the slightest!”

“What?”

I tried to argue back, but Yuji beat me to it.

“Regardless of who it is! I just happen to like beautiful girls!”

“Huh…?”

“With all due respect your Excellency, my ability to appreciate beauty… is unfair,” Yuuji said, giving a sharp salute.

“However, there are no exceptions! If it’s a beautiful girl, then all beautiful girls are equal! I will uphold this attitude!”

“Wait, Yuji…”

I was a little flustered.

“No, I won’t stop!”

Because somehow, Yuji’s loud voice had attracted a crowd. Several male students in swimsuits like Yuuji’s were peering into the classroom. There were also a few female students with musical instruments. It must have been the brass band.

“That is the duty of my love for beautiful girls! It is eternal!”

I understand your feelings, Yuji.

My classmates hadn’t changed at all.

I have to admit, Yuji was just a simple beautiful girl maniac. Apparently, it was my prejudice, my own self-consciousness that made me think otherwise.

“But you know, Yuji. You talked about ‘love for beautiful girls’ in front of me, nearly naked in just a thin, tight swimsuit.”

A few other students appeared, showing signs of alerness…

“Moreover, I will say this clearly…”

However, Yuji continued to speak without paying attention to his surroundings.

“I think Futsu-kun has changed.”

That statement was like an ambush.

“Could it be that Futsu-kun is resisting the changes in his body and throwing a tantrum?” He seemed to be saying it indirectly.

I thought Yuji was just stating a fact.

Even so, my heart was deeply shaken.

That’s right.

As Yuji said, I was the one who had changed.

My body had become that of a girl.
