Sarah Hoshikawa's Big Reversal!? Seven Crazy Days of Gender Swap - My Classmate is a Gorgeous Beauty!? Heart-Pounding Rule Analysis and Cross-Purposes Strategy Meeting!
How long had it been since that infuriating stuffed animal's voice went silent?
Sara sat in her streaming chair, staring intently at the Mofurina in her hands.
Soft pastel lavender. A cat-like face with rabbit-like ears. On its round belly, seven star-shaped marks.
"[sad]Hahh..."
A sigh escaped in a low voice that now felt like it belonged to someone else.
On her smartphone screen, notifications of Ryou-san's rejected calls lined up.
When she looked in the mirror, a beautiful boy with silver short hair stared back at her with a pathetic expression.
"[crying]Even Ryou-san is ignoring me..."
Sara slumped over her desk.
The keyboard clattered.
—*Ding-dong.*
The cheerful chime of the intercom echoed through the quiet room.
"[surprised]Fweh!?"
Sara hurriedly lifted her head.
Who could it be at a time like this? The landlord? Or maybe Ryou-san got worried and came to check on her?
No, Ryou-san had just ignored her calls.
Sara stood up timidly.
Her pajama pants were, as expected, comically short above her ankles.
She headed to the entrance.
Peered through the door scope.
"...Huh?"
Standing there was a girl with long black hair.
Straight black hair reaching her waist. Gentle, drooping brown eyes.
Someone she didn't recognize—stunningly beautiful.
"[scared]Who...?"
Sara kept the chain on and opened the door just a crack.
She poked her unfamiliar male face through the gap.
"[gentle]Um, uh..."
The girl looked down shyly and spoke in a small voice.
"[gentle]Sara... that's you, right?"
That voice.
That way of speaking.
Goosebumps erupted all over Sara's body.
"[surprised]Yu-Yuuki!?"
Sara unhooked the chain and flung the door open.
Under the hallway's fluorescent lights, she faced the black-haired beauty again.
She was a little taller than Sara.
Her eyebrows were drawn together in a troubled slant.
"[sad]I knew it... it really is you, Sara..."
Yuuki looked Sara up and down, then her face crumpled.
"[laughing]Pfft... ahahahahaha!! What the hell, you're totally a guy!!"
Yuuki clutched her stomach and burst out laughing.
"[angry]Wha—!? You're one to talk, Yuuki!! You've turned into a total beauty!! What's with that hair?! It's so glossy!! I can't believe this!!"
Sara shouted back.
"[laughing]Shut up! Your voice is all deep now too!! Wait, are you actually kind of hot!? This is insane!!"
"[angry]And you're supposed to be Yuuki!! You always act so cool, but now you're laughing your head off!!"
"[laughing]Look who's talking!! You were crying your eyes out this morning, weren't you!! Your eyes are still a little red!!"
The two of them laughed together, loud enough to echo through the hallway.
The laughter of a boy and a girl reverberated through the corridors of Maison Lilian.
――――――――
Once invited inside, Yuuki sat down neatly in front of the streaming setup.
As a girl, Yuuki wore a casual outfit—skinny jeans and a white hoodie.
But every time her waist-length black hair swayed smoothly, Sara's gaze was drawn to it.
(*Yuuki was originally 175 centimeters tall, right...? Now... huh, about the same as me?*)
Her height seemed to have shrunk too.
"[serious]So, I want to sort out the situation,"
Yuuki said with a serious face, pointing at the Mofurina on the table.
"[serious]That thing is a cursed stuffed animal, and it swapped our genders. If we grant seven 'serious wishes' in seven days, we'll return to normal. Is that right?"
"[excited]Yes, yes! As expected of Yuuki, you catch on fast! I tried shaking and pressing the stuffed animal so many times after that, but it won't talk at all anymore."
"[sarcastic]Sara, you need to calm down first. Anyway, we have too little information right now. Let's investigate more thoroughly."
Yuuki picked up the stuffed animal.
She pressed the star-shaped marks on its belly one by one with her finger.
"[serious]The first one that lit up... was this one."
"[surprised]Ah, yeah! When I touched it this morning, just one went *blink* and lit up."
Yuuki silently turned the stuffed animal over, checked behind its ears, and began meticulously examining the seams.
"[serious]...Hm?"
Yuuki's finger stopped behind Mofurina's left ear.
"[surprised]What, what? What's up?"
Sara leaned in closer.
"[serious]Here. There's a really tiny pocket."
Yuuki deftly pinched it with her fingertips, and from the hidden pocket, a small folded piece of paper emerged.
"[excited]No way!? An instruction manual!? That was in there!?"
Sara shouted in excitement.
The two of them put their heads together and unfolded the paper.
On it, written in cute, rounded letters, it said:
*"Mofurina Instruction Manual, mofu~"*
*"This stuffed animal was created to grant the wish of the person who hugs it: 'I want to get to know someone better,' mofu."*
*"The gender-swap curse will be lifted by granting seven 'serious wishes' in seven days, mofu."*
*"There are three rules for wishes, mofu."*
*"One: The wisher must be truly serious from the heart."*
*"Two: The content of the wish must be based on consideration for others."*
*"Three: The same person cannot make wishes consecutively."*
"[serious]I see..."
Yuuki placed a hand on her chin with a difficult expression.
"[surprised]Wait, hold on!? 'I want to get to know someone better'—whose wish is that!? Mine!? I never thought anything like that!!"
"[sarcastic]No, that definitely sounds like something Sara would think."
"[angry]Hah!? Why are you deciding that, Yuuki!?"
"[serious]Because you're always shouting on stream, 'I want to get to know all my Hoshinoko!' That's serious, isn't it?"
Sara had no comeback.
It was true, she said that often on stream.
But that was about her fans, not... not...
"[serious]Well, regardless of the cause, we know the rules now. The wisher's seriousness, consideration for others, no consecutive use. We just have to follow these three."
"[excited]Alright! Then let's hurry up and grant the first wish! What should we go for?"
Sara said excitedly.
"[sad]...Sara, there's one problem."
"[surprised]Huh, what?"
"[serious]The condition for the wish is 'consideration for others.' That means wishes for yourself are no good. You have to seriously wish for someone else's sake."
"[excited]No problem! I can think of tons of things to help people! Like... um..."
Sara was at a loss for words.
For someone else's sake.
Wishing seriously.
That was surprisingly difficult.
"[serious]You can't just casually say 'for someone else.' It means truly thinking about that person, and granting what they genuinely desire from the heart. I think that's what a 'serious wish' means."
"[sad]Hmm... then, Yuuki, can you think of anything?"
"[serious]Honestly, I can't think of anything right away either. That's exactly why we should meet up with the others first. Let's explain the situation to Miyuki-senpai and Ryou-san and ask them to think about it with us."
"[excited]Ah! That's it! Then let's go to the office tomorrow and talk it over with everyone!"
"[gentle]Yeah. That sounds good."
Yuuki smiled a little.
—At that moment.
Yuuki made a gesture, tucking her long black hair behind her ear.
Smoothly.
A casual motion, her fingertips tracing behind her ear.
Sara's heart skipped a beat.
(*Huh?*)
What was that just now?
It was just a casual gesture.
Why did my heart just pound like that?
"[surprised]...Sara? What's wrong?"
"[scared]Eh!? N-nothing!! It's nothing!!"
Sara hurriedly averted her gaze.
Her face felt hot.
"[surprised]Your face is red. Do you have a fever or something?"
Yuuki peered at her face with concern.
Those gentle, drooping eyes were right up close.
"[scared]T-too close, too close!! I'm fine!!"
Sara backed away.
(*Why!? Why does my heart pound just because Yuuki is worried about me!?*)
Yuuki also seemed awkward and looked away.
Her ears looked faintly red.
—*Grrrrrrrr.*
What broke the silence was the sound of Yuuki's stomach.
"[surprised]...Huh?"
"[laughing]Pfft... ahahahaha!! Yuuki, are you hungry!?"
Sara laughed loudly.
"[angry]Sh-shut up!! Don't laugh!! I haven't eaten anything since this morning!!"
Yuuki's face turned bright red as she yelled.
"[laughing]Ahaha, sorry, sorry! Then let's eat something! Though all I have is cup ramen and energy drinks!"
"[sarcastic]...Sara. You're eating nothing but that stuff again?"
Yuuki's gaze suddenly turned serious.
"[surprised]Huh? But cooking is such a hassle..."
"[serious]That's no good. You have to eat proper meals. You'll ruin your health."
Yuuki stood up and headed to Sara's kitchen with the familiarity of someone who knew the place.
She opened the refrigerator.
"[surprised]What the... there aren't even any eggs. The milk... expired three days ago."
"[sad]But I've been busy..."
"[serious]No helping it. I'll go to the convenience store and buy something. You wait here."
"[surprised]Huh!? You're going alone!? Isn't that dangerous!? I mean, Yuuki, you're super beautiful right now!!"
"[angry]Idiot!! Don't say unnecessary things!!"
Yuuki cursed as if to hide her embarrassment, then headed for the door with just her wallet.
――――――――
A little while later, Yuuki returned carrying a convenience store bag.
"[gentle]Here, rice balls, sandwiches, and vegetable juice. Eat properly."
"[surprised]Whoa, thanks! Yuuki, you really are good at taking care of people, huh."
The two sat facing each other and began eating the rice balls.
Outside, the sound of an Odakyu Line train running could be heard.
"[serious]Sara, about what happens from tomorrow onward."
Yuuki said while eating a tuna-mayo rice ball.
"[serious]With our current voices, we can't stream. There's a big collaboration coming up next week too. Honestly, this is a pretty bad situation."
"[excited]It'll be fine! We'll manage somehow! Lifting this curse comes first!"
Sara said brightly.
"[serious]Yeah... you're right, Sara. First, let's meet up with the others and explain the situation. I'm sure Miyuki-senpai or Ryou-san will come up with a good idea."
"[excited]Yeah, yeah! If we all put our heads together, I'm sure we can grant seven wishes in seven days! Right, Mofurina!"
Sara hugged the stuffed animal.
Of course, Mofurina said nothing.
――――――――
Evening came, and the world outside the window began to be dyed in shades of crimson.
"[gentle]Well, I'll head home soon. See you tomorrow at the office."
Yuuki put on her shoes at the entrance.
"[excited]Yeah! See you tomorrow! Get home safe!"
Sara waved.
"[gentle]Sara, you make sure to eat a proper dinner tonight too. No more just cup ramen, okay?"
"[laughing]I got it, I got it! Yuuki, you're such a worrywart."
Yuuki waved a little, then went down the stairs.
Sara stood in front of the door, seeing her off until her back disappeared from view.
Black hair swaying.
A back growing smaller.
(*Why am I feeling so flustered just because Yuuki turned into a girl?*)
(*Could this be...*)
"[scared]No way, no way!! There's no way!!"
Sara shook her head vigorously and hurried back into her room.
――――――――
Back in her room, Sara slumped into her streaming chair.
On the desk, Mofurina.
"[whispers]Tomorrow for sure, we'll grant the first wish."
Sara gently stroked the stuffed animal.
But in her heart, the image from earlier kept replaying.
Yuuki's smile.
Yuuki's gestures.
That moment when Yuuki tucked her hair behind her ear.
Each time, her chest tightened.
An emotion she had never felt before.
She didn't know how to deal with it.
"[whispers]Even if Yuuki is a girl... Yuuki is still someone I can rely on."
Sara murmured quietly, then collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in the pillow.
Outside the window, the usual Odakyu Line train rushed past.
From tomorrow, a huge commotion at the office awaited.
How should she explain this appearance to Miyuki-senpai and Ryou-san?
Sara's new daily life was far from over.
