Cursed Gender Swap?! The Mafia Bosss Love Bullet Seven Shots - The sixth bullet of love, beyond the tears
The darkest hour before dawn.
Golden Barrel, second basement floor.
Luca Kaneshiro was curled up on the golden sofa.
Hands pressed over their ears, knees hugged to their chest, curled into a tight ball. Their waist-length golden hair was a tangled mess, and their white hat lay abandoned on the floor.
"...I can't... do this anymore..."
Their voice was hoarse.
A girl's body. A girl's voice.
Looking in the mirror, an unfamiliar woman with a tear-streaked face stared back.
*(No. That's me.)*
Luca squeezed their eyes shut.
From beyond the door, a voice came through.
"Luca. Let's talk."
Ike's voice. Quiet, but thin and fragile, as if on the verge of tears.
"Even if you run away, I still think of you. That's not because of the curse."
Luca pressed their hands harder against their ears.
"I can't hear you... I can't hear you..."
"Young lady, covering your ears won't do you any good."
Now it was Vox's voice. That sweet, syrupy voice that clung to you like honey.
"You see, I loved teasing you so much that before I knew it, it had turned into love. Ridiculous, isn't it?"
There was nothing to laugh about.
Luca curled up even smaller on the sofa.
"Stop... please stop..."
The tears wouldn't stop.
Tear stains spread slowly across the golden sofa.
*(It's my fault.)*
*(Because I can't return your feelings.)*
*(Because I ran away.)*
Luca clutched Don Kaneshiro, which lay at the edge of the sofa. Their beloved revolver-shaped streaming microphone. The cold metal against their skin only drove reality in deeper.
"I'm... the worst..."
Stifling their voice, Luca wept.
---
Outside the door.
Ike Eveland stood with their back against the cold hallway wall. Their long silver hair clung to their forehead with sweat. Behind their glasses, their blue eyes shimmered with tears threatening to spill over.
"Luca... I was watching your streams even before I met you."
Ike's voice trembled.
"Your laughter, your villain roleplay, everything about you... I loved it all. It's not the curse. From the very beginning, always."
Ike removed their glasses and wiped their eyes.
"My feelings didn't disappear when I wrote them into novels. If anything, every time I wrote, I fell for you even more."
Beside them, Vox Akuma stood with arms crossed. Their glossy black hair gleamed eerily under the hallway's emergency lights. Their crimson eyes had lost their usual composure.
"At first, I genuinely only intended to tease you for fun."
Vox's voice was sweet, yet somehow pained.
"But when I saw you flustered after turning into a girl... I thought, ah, I really do love this person."
Vox placed a hand against the door.
"Young lady. I am genuinely in love with you. I'm saying this now, without the mask of teasing."
Silence.
Then, their voices overlapped.
""I'm the one who will protect Luca.""
""No, me.""
Ike raised their head.
"...Vox. All you ever do is tease Luca. What could you possibly understand about them?"
Vox grinned.
"Oh? And you, who can only express your feelings through words written in books—you have some nerve saying that."
"What did you say...!"
"Unlike you, I don't just watch in silence. I enjoy Luca's reactions from the closest seat in the house. That's love."
"That's not love. That's just self-satisfaction!"
In front of the door, their emotions collided.
And every word reached Luca's ears.
"Stop... please stop...!"
Luca pressed both hands over their ears.
But they could still hear it.
The genuine voices of their companions.
*(Even though I can't return those feelings.)*
*(Even so, you all still...)*
Luca slumped against the wall.
The strength drained from their body.
"...I... will face... my true feelings..."
Luca murmured.
But the tearful voices of their companions from beyond the door—
Every time they heard them, their heart wavered.
*(Face them... how...?)*
*(I don't even understand my own feelings.)*
Luca slid down the wall, back pressed against it, and sat on the floor.
The night deepened.
---
Before dawn.
Luca gripped the six bullets of Don Kaneshiro in both hands.
They stood before the mirror.
Reflected there was a golden-haired girl with eyes swollen from crying.
Waist-length golden hair. Pale purple eyes. Fair skin.
*(This is me now.)*
Luca stared straight at their reflection.
"...If you're me, then I'll listen to what you have to say."
Luca spoke to their reflection.
"Tomorrow for sure... I'll face everyone. I won't run. Absolutely not."
They made that vow in their heart.
But.
That vow wavered almost immediately.
From the direction of Reunion, something seemed to vanish.
The fourth bullet.
The ash-white bullet disappeared without a sound.
At the same time.
The surface of the Emotion River began to shift from red to black.
A murky, stagnant color.
Luca's despair was polluting the river.
Outside the door.
Ike and Vox's voices fell silent.
A heavy silence blanketed the hallway.
Driven by a terrible premonition, Luca reached for the door.
But they couldn't open it.
Their hand was shaking.
"...Damn it... why... can't I open it..."
Luca couldn't move, hand frozen on the doorknob.
Then.
*Click. Click. Click.*
Footsteps approached.
Light and small, but certain.
And they stopped just beyond the door.
"...Senpai."
Luca looked up.
"It's me. Rias. Please, let me hear what you have to say."
Fluffy orange bob hair. Large amber eyes. The gender-swapped Mysta Rias stood on the other side of the door.
"I'll sort it out. Your true feelings, senpai. Properly, as a detective."
Rias said this, then quietly sat down on the other side of the door.
Tears spilled from Luca's eyes.
"...Rias..."
Their voice trembled.
"...Help me..."
A small, fading voice.
Still gripping the doorknob, Luca collapsed to the floor.
On the other side of the door, Rias drew a quiet breath.
"...Yes, senpai. Leave it to me."
Rias's voice was gentle, yet somehow on the verge of tears.
---
Dawn.
The sky beginning to pale.
Golden Barrel, second basement floor.
Luca sat with their back against the door.
Before them, their own gender-swapped reflection.
*(What am I supposed to do?)*
Luca hung their head, hugging their knees.
Then.
*Knock, knock.*
A light knock.
"Senpai. Are you awake?"
Rias's voice.
Luca looked up.
"...Yeah."
Their voice was hoarse.
"I'll stay right here. Take your time, senpai. It's okay."
Rias's voice was calm.
But Luca could sense a faint tremor beneath it.
"...Rias. Why are you here..."
"Because last night, you said 'help me.'"
Rias answered quietly.
"There's no way I could let your cry for help go unheard, senpai."
Luca's chest tightened.
"...I can't give any of you anything in return."
"I know. But that's fine. I didn't come here because I wanted something from you."
Rias's voice trembled slightly.
"...Senpai. I've had a one-sided crush on you for a long time."
Luca's eyes went wide.
"...Huh?"
"I only realized it just now. After becoming a girl, when I thought about you, my chest ached and tears came... and I thought, oh, this is love."
Rias's voice wavered with tears.
"So I, and Ike-san, and Vox-san—we all love you, senpai. But you're struggling. I came here because I want to help you."
Luca couldn't speak.
The depths of their chest burned.
"...Even you... why does everyone... fall for someone like me..."
Luca's voice shook.
"You say 'someone like me,' but to me, senpai, you're the best senpai there is."
Rias spoke with a voice that was half-laughing, half-crying.
"So please, let me sort it out. Your true feelings. On my honor as a detective."
Luca was silent for a while.
Then they let out a small breath.
"...Fine. I'm counting on you."
Luca said this, gripping the doorknob.
"Then, first. Senpai, how do you feel about Ike-san?"
Rias asked quietly.
Luca thought for a moment.
"...Ike is reliable. The way they read books, the way they calmly call me out—all of it. As a companion, I think of them like family."
"Family, I see. Then what about Vox-san?"
"...Vox pisses me off when they tease me. But when I can't hear their voice, I feel lonely. They're a precious companion."
"Then what about me?"
"...Rias, you're cheeky, but you're a cute kouhai. Hearing your laugh gives me energy."
Luca caught themselves.
*(Cute?)*
*(Did I just call Rias cute...?)*
Luca's heart pounded loudly.
"Senpai. Could you write those words down on paper?"
Rias said quietly.
"...Paper?"
"Yes. I want to see your true feelings with my own eyes. Your feelings toward Ike-san, toward Vox-san, toward me. Please write each one on a separate piece of paper."
Luca hesitated for a while.
But Rias's voice was so earnest.
With trembling hands, Luca searched for paper and a pen.
There was a notepad in the desk drawer.
Luca wrote with a shaking hand.
*To Ike. You're family I can rely on. I want you to stay by my side forever.*
*To Vox. You piss me off, but you're a precious companion. I'd hate it if you were gone.*
*To Rias. You're cheeky, but you're a cute kouhai. When you're smiling, it makes me happy too.*
Luca slid the finished notes under the door.
Rias picked them up.
A long silence.
Then Rias let out a small breath.
"...Senpai. As I thought, your 'love' isn't romantic. But all of this—it's genuine, isn't it?"
Rias's voice resonated gently.
"...Of course it is! You're all my family, my companions, my precious kouhai! I don't want to lose you! I don't want to lose a single one of you!"
Luca shouted.
The tears wouldn't stop.
"...I can't return your feelings. But my desire to never lose any of you—that's more real than anything!"
Luca's cry echoed through the hallway.
"...Senpai. That's enough. That's more than enough."
Rias was crying too.
"...Then that should become the final bullet."
At that moment.
Luca's chest began to glow with a golden light.
"...Eh?"
Luca pressed a hand to their chest.
Warm light overflowed from deep within.
And above Luca's chest, a small bullet materialized.
A golden, seventh Seven Heart Bullet.
"...This is... the crystallization of my feelings..."
Luca cradled the bullet in both hands.
It was warm.
The tears wouldn't stop.
---
Golden light enveloped all of Golden Barrel.
Outside the door.
Ike and Vox noticed the light.
"...What is this light?"
"...Young lady, did something happen?"
The two rushed to the door.
"Luca! Are you okay!?"
"Young lady! Answer me!"
On the other side of the door, Rias stood up.
"Senpai. Please open the door. Everyone's waiting."
With trembling hands, Luca unlocked the door.
*Click.*
And slowly pushed it open.
Luca's face emerged, eyes swollen from crying, looking at Ike and Vox.
"...I have something I want to tell you. About my feelings."
Luca forced the words out.
Vox looked at Luca's face and tears streamed down.
"...Young lady. You're always like this. Always making us cry."
Ike smiled softly.
"...Please, tell us. Your true feelings, Luca."
Luca held the golden bullet that had emerged from their chest in both hands.
"...The seventh bullet was born. From my true heart."
The three of them held their breath.
"...Senpai. Let's go to Reunion. The fourth bullet is waiting."
Rias wiped their tears and smiled.
Luca nodded.
---
The road to Reunion.
The promenade along the Emotion River—Heartbeat Promenade.
The four walked through an awkward atmosphere.
No one spoke.
Unable to bear it any longer, Luca shouted.
"Gah, enough already! I love you all like family! It's not romantic or anything, so why does everyone keep falling for me!?"
Vox shot back instantly.
"Oh, be quiet. What I love, I love. Nothing I can do about it."
Ike spoke with a serious face.
"I love that straightforward side of you."
Rias's face flushed red, their voice cracking.
"I love everything about you, senpai!"
Luca's face went bright red as they broke into a run.
"Shut up! Like I care! I'll kill you all!"
"Ahaha! Wait up, senpai!"
Rias chased after them, laughing.
"Come on, Ike. You'd better chase them too. You'
