CH 1

“All right, guys, let’s pick up girls after school today! Let’s go hunting! “

By the way, things are back to normal now…

From this seat in the classroom, I can see the scene of cheerful people and everything.

“Okay, Renya! I was scared for a while when you were so crazy in love and became single-minded toward Karen. But now you’re getting back on track!  I knew you had it in you! “

But still, he’s a douchebag…..

I’ll say it one more time, he’s a douchebag.

“As expected, even with Karen-sama as your girlfriend, you can’t help but get bored, aren’t you? Hahaha!”

Now is…

It’s time to change clothes in the classroom without any girls after the gym, and the classroom is infested with silly conversation amongst the happy-go-lucky guys like this

Even though there are no girls there, they’re really saying whatever they want to say, these guys.

They don’t see the surroundings or don’t have a sense of crisis, even though the girls might be coming back soon.

Well, it doesn’t matter to me if they’re in trouble. I don’t even have any relationship with them.

“What? I’m not bored at all. I can’t get enough of her. It can’t be considered cheating… It’s her fault for not letting me do her. She said she doesn’t like that kind of thing… I was about to do it with her last time… but she suddenly rejected me…”

“Really? She looks like a gal, but she’s a pure-hearted character? I don’t get it. What a waste. Is she trying to kill you alive?”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m going to force-attack her next time. Damn it!”

I hear a lot of unscrupulous words… 

She won’t let you…..huh?

I remember that I had a lot of trouble with that kind of thing too.

Lots of various things.

But what happens now? If I recall correctly, that time, she said to me…

“Oh, I’m so excited! Hey, look at this!”

“Wait, why are you showing me? You’re too energetic!”

And now, as I sit quietly in my seat after changing my clothes, my gaze is fixed on the man who has been frolicking around in a frenzy of excitement.

That’s ‘Me’ until just a few weeks ago.

You may wonder what I’m talking about. There is no mistake about the things I said.

There he is, the man I used to be until recently, a man who belongs to the top caste of this class.

Renya Todo.

By the way, that energetic little guy gave me a hard time, too.

I managed to keep my reason and didn’t make any mistakes, but it was the first time in my life that I had seen a woman up close like that…

And while I was thinking about this, I heard the girls coming back to the room, probably having finished changing their clothes like us. I could hear the girl’s voices coming before I knew it.

Well, just in the nick of time, Todo seems to have managed to put that energetic thing inside his pants.

Is it actually a sea breeze? The girls come into the classroom in droves with a nice scent of Deodorant.

Then, I smell the sweet scent of peaches next to me as well.

“Hey, Sō-chan. Are you okay now? Anyway, if you have any problems, please tell me right away. I’m really glad that you’re coming to school now. You’re almost going to be a student with an attendance problem and have to repeat for a year. We’re definitely going to graduate together!”

“Ahh, yes, yes. That’s right.”

“Yeah! I’ll also gonna come pick you up tomorrow!”

“Uh, okay. Thanks.”

And then there’s this beautiful, fluffy girl who smiles at me from the seat next to me.

Her name is Harukaze Kanna, and she’s my childhood friend.

I don’t know why she is so nice to me, I have been indebted to her for a long time.

I am sorry that I have worried you all this time, but it is not my fault this time.

This time it’s that noisy guy’s fault, the one who’s looking right at me right now, that annoying guy was “Me” until last week.

That’s right, it’s Renya Todo’s fault.

Because of his truancy, I’m really in danger of repeating a year in school.

If it hadn’t been for the vacation period during the summer break, I would have been in serious trouble.

Well, that’s the thing.

Yes, for a reasonably long time.

We’ve been switching bodies

It’s absolutely unbelievable, but we did switch our bodies.

It started about six months ago.

I was leaving school as usual when Todo, who was joking and playing around with his friends, bumped into me from behind unexpectedly.

I was surprised when a truck coming suddenly appeared in front of us, and the truck hit us as well.

Miraculously, neither of us was killed, but we were both injured by the truck.

From then on, it was really tough.

He didn’t like it so much that he was replaced by someone like me, and he became a complete shut-in.

I tried to become a shut-in as well, but people around me wouldn’t let me, so I reluctantly went to school every day.

But I’m really glad to be back to my old body.

I’ve had enough of this “cheerful” stuff.

No one found out that we had been switched, but I was tired and exhausted.

I’m not suited to the sunny side of life, fundamentally.

I can’t be in a high spirits state all the time.

To be honest, I probably wasn’t able to do that “cheerful” part properly, but nobody would have thought that Todo and I switched bodies in the first place.

Somehow, I managed to keep it from being revealed until the end.

However, there was a woman whose name I had heard several times before.

It was really hard to keep the relationship with Renya Todo’s girlfriend, Otsuka Karen…

Did she have a good intuition? I was on the verge of a catastrophe of breaking up within a week after we swapped.

I was planning to return to my original body at any cost, so I had to maintain the status quo in case something happened.

Anyway, I used all the power I could muster to keep the relationship with ‘my’ girlfriend Karen stable.

Somehow you can say it was his fault that we switched, but if the girlfriend-boyfriend relationship broke up because of me, the aftermath of it would be too troublesome.

And as for Todo himself, I guess he is really popular.

I remember that many girls came to me at that time, but I didn’t have even a millimeter of space to care about others.

But it is really a miracle.

After all, I managed to hold on to the charismatic gal Otsuka Karen, who is the top caste in this class, or rather in this school, along with that Todo.

And it’s ‘Me’ on the inside.

Well, is Todo’s appearance correction too big?

He’s a pretty good-looking guy. He’s also a wild-looking type of guy that women like.

Anyway, I don’t think I’m going to have anything to do with Karen anymore… but is it my imagination that I have been feeling her eyes glancing on me frequently lately?

It’s just my imagination. It’s just my imagination.

I’m Sota Kazama now.

An ordinary guy from the bottom of the school caste.

I don’t even remember having a conversation in my ‘real’ body with her once.

“Hey, Sō-chan! Where are you looking? Is it Otsuka-san?  Do you like her? Tell me,  Sō-chan!  Do you like Otsuka-san?”

“N-no, of course not. I’m not even looking at her. Stupid!”

Besides, you’re too close. I’ve gotten used to it because Kanna is always like that.

But why i feel as if she’s feeling bad right now?

“Ah! You blurt out bad words again. Geez!  You should just get over that habit, Sō-chan!”

“Sigh, sorry. It doesn’t mean anything bad.”

“Ah, again! I know. I understand you didn’t mean anything bad with it. That’s why you should fix it. People who don’t know you will misunderstand!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll be really careful.”

I really have to be careful about this habit.

I know I should be, but my habit of spitting snide words even when I’m in a happy mood.

I’ve been told that It’s not good to have that kind of habit for a long time.

Hmm?  Huh?  Is she looking at me again?

No, not me. It’s probably someone behind me.

Anyway… surprisingly, she has a good personality for Todo’s girlfriend.

She was also smart for a girl, even though she violated the school rules by dyeing her hair brightly and wearing her school uniform improperly.

But her temper was as strong as she looked…

Well, I think that was one of the reasons why I could manage.

If she had a personality like Todo, we would probably have …..

No, I’m just glad that everything is back to normal. That’s all.

I shudder to think that I would have had to repeat my school year because of Todo if I had returned to normal one week later, but luckily it was avoided in reality.

“Oh, Karen. Let’s go somewhere together tomorrow, shall we? It’s a vacation.”

Ah, a holiday. As I recall, I went to various places with her too.　

I’m the type of person who stays at home on holidays unless there’s something going on… so I got tired of that too.

Well, I didn’t care about it at all now since we’re back to normal, but it seems things are going well there too. I’m glad to hear that.

“Sorry. I don’t think I can make it tomorrow. I mean…”

Anyway, what am I going to do tomorrow?

I got fired from my old job because of him… so I’ll just have to find a new one.

“Let’s break up, Renya.”

“What?”

Where should I find a new job…?

…..Huh? What did I just hear?

Break up…… really?

“Why? Karen… Why are you joking all of a sudden? Hey!”

“Well… I might have found someone else I’m interested in.”

No, no, I tried so hard to hold on to you, and it just ended so fast?

Someone else is on her mind…What?

Well, I don’t really care because I don’t have anything to do with her anymore.

But I have done so much work…　

Hey.

I’m back to my own body now, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

But who’s the guy that you’re interested in….?
