"Eek—!!! It's so cold, the wind is strong here because it's by the sea."
Even though she held onto her short skirt, the omnipresent sea breeze kept assailing her 'place,' making Itsuka Shiori feel increasingly embarrassed!
If someone saw her like this...
'I might as well just die!?'
What to do? So embarrassing, so embarrassing!
No! She would run into trouble sooner or later like this.
Could she find something to wear?
Itsuka Shiori began to look around, and the only place she could buy a panty was a swimwear shop.
After all, this was near a beach, so such a shop was normal.
But just as she was about to go, she suddenly remembered something and squatted down.
No money!!!
To be precise, her wallet, phone, and all other belongings were in her luggage, which had been checked into the hotel for the school trip.
Even if she could swallow her pride and call Itsuka Kotori for help, enduring her teasing, it wouldn't work now.
Standing on the beach, shivering in the sea breeze, Miss Itsuka Shiori was on the verge of tears.
Thinking of Toujou Nozomi, who had put her in this situation, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred!
It was all her fault!
Why did she do this to her!
She was innocent!!!
"For now, I should go look for Tohka.
If I'm not mistaken, Origami should be with her.
She should be able to lend me some money."
In desperation, Itsuka Shiori could only resort to this method.
If other classmates saw her, she would truly need to transfer schools.
Meanwhile, Toujou Nozomi and Tobiichi Origami were secretly chatting about something.
Curiously, as their conversation progressed, Tobiichi Origami's eyes gradually shone brightly.
In the end, she even grabbed Toujou Nozomi's hand, despite their previous animosity, and asked with a hint of anticipation in her voice,
"Is this true, Toujou Nozomi?
If this is true, then we'll be friends from now on."
Tobiichi Origami said sincerely.
If it was truly as Toujou Nozomi said, then she wouldn't mind being friends with Toujou Nozomi.
"Whether it's true or not is something you'll have to discover for yourself.
However, I suggest you bring a camera.
After all, something like this only happens once, and you want to preserve precious memories, don't you?" Toujou Nozomi said with a smile.
Getting Tobiichi Origami's promise was the best outcome.
This would be very helpful for the next step of the plan.
"Don't worry, I always carry something like this.
To capture every moment of Shido, this is essential."
With that, Tobiichi Origami pulled out a small digital camera from behind her.
She didn't have large pockets, yet she really produced a camera from behind her.
But why was she so skilled at this?
Toujou Nozomi suddenly recalled when she, Minami Kotori, and others had followed Itsuka Shido, and Tobiichi Origami had been right behind him.
She had furiously taken photos of him without him noticing, so it seemed she really did carry such a thing to record his every moment.
On the other side of their conversation, Yatogami Tohka looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, tilting her head in confusion.
She bit her index finger and slowly approached the girl.
Finally, Yatogami Tohka closed her eyes and repeatedly sniffed the girl's scent.
After a few seconds, she confirmed something and nodded.
"What are you doing, Shi—" Yatogami Tohka looked at Itsuka Shiori in front of her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she had changed into her current appearance.
Although her scent hadn't changed, she had become even more beautiful.
"!!!?"
Itsuka Shiori rushed over and quickly covered Yatogami Tohka's mouth.
She knew there were many classmates here.
Although they were all curiously looking at Itsuka Shiori, they didn't know her true identity.
But if Tohka said the name 'Shido,' her life would be completely over from that moment on!?
"I'm sorry, Tohka.
Something has happened to me.
I'm Shiori now.
You absolutely cannot call me Shido, okay?
If you promise me, I'll buy you lots and lots of soybean bread when we go back."
Itsuka Shiori leaned close to Yatogami Tohka's ear and whispered, finally resorting to bribery.
"Hmm...? Is that so? Mm! I understand!
It's nice to meet you.
You're not Shido, but Shiori, this girl!" After a gentle nod, Yatogami Tohka suddenly grabbed Itsuka Shiori's hand and spoke in a very loud voice.
"Ah, I see.
It's nice to meet you too."
Although it wasn't what she had imagined, at least no one would think she was Itsuka Shido now, right?
Itsuka Shiori shook her hand, cold sweat trickling down her face.
However, a sudden bright flash made her involuntarily close her eyes.
"Click! Click!"
Suddenly, a clicking sound and a flash of light came from below her body, making her instinctively cover her eyes.
She cautiously opened her eyes.
She saw Tobiichi Origami holding a small digital camera, squatting in front of Itsuka Shiori, continuously pressing the shutter button.
Although she still maintained her usual expressionless demeanor, the blush on her face and her slightly hurried breathing indicated that she was very excited.
"Um..." Looking at Tobiichi Origami's actions, Itsuka Shiori pulled her skirt tighter.
She didn't want to leave behind so much embarrassing history.
But just as she was about to interrupt Tobiichi Origami...
"Don't move! If you don't want your identity as Itsuka Shido to be known by everyone in the class, then you'll obediently listen to me. Now, please look this way." Saying such threatening words in such a calm tone really had an extraordinary effect. At least now, Itsuka Shiori's eyes widened after hearing her words, and she began to follow her instructions. Itsuka Shiori could only hope that Tobiichi Origami's demands wouldn't be too excessive!
"Mm, very good. Shiori, you have the potential to be a model. Now, please take off one item." After doing several poses as Tobiichi Origami requested, Itsuka Shiori felt her strength had been exhausted. But after Tobiichi Origami swallowed her saliva, she made an even more outrageous request just when Itsuka Shiori thought she could finally be free.
"Th-that's not possible. After all, I'd feel very troubled doing that!" Clinging tightly to her skirt, she wasn't wearing any panty underneath, so asking her to take off an item was really too much! And the sea breeze was so strong right now; she had been feeling chilly ever since.
But Tobiichi Origami didn't let her off so easily. Just as Itsuka Shiori felt her shame was about to burst, Tobiichi Origami lay beneath her and reached her hand between Itsuka Shiori's legs. It was this touch that brought her back to her senses, and she looked at Tobiichi Origami beneath her with a panicked expression.
"You! Do you... do you want to? No! Don't do that!?" Seemingly realizing what Tobiichi Origami intended to do, Itsuka Shiori, looking flustered, thought about backing away from there. But Tobiichi Origami grabbed one of her feet with her other hand, immobilizing her. And because of this, the view beneath Itsuka Shiori's skirt was completely exposed to Tobiichi Origami.
Tobiichi Origami's emotions fluctuated more intensely than ever at this moment; she felt as if something was about to flow from her nose. But she didn't forget her purpose. In Itsuka Shiori's despairing eyes, she pressed the camera's shutter button.
"Mm, thank you for the feast!" After getting what she wanted, Tobiichi Origami stood up from the ground. Wiping her nose, she thanked Itsuka Shiori, who looked utterly bewildered.
It was this thank you that made Itsuka Shiori's face turn crimson. The grievances and shame in her heart rapidly surged to a critical point, then... "Aaaah—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Finally, Shiori let out an extremely delightful wail.
"Oh ~ there really wasn't any surprise; things happened exactly as I imagined." Toujou Nozomi said with a smile as she led everyone over, looking at Itsuka Shiori, who was on the verge of tears. Tobiichi Origami's actions were both within her expectations and completely beyond them.
Although she had taken secret photos of Itsuka Shiori, that was when the person was unaware. Now, Tobiichi Origami directly took such photos under the person's gaze, making her exclaim: 'As expected of Master Origami!'
"I'm like this all because of you! You've gone too far this time, Toujou Nozomi! Quickly change me back!" Itsuka Shiori cried out to Toujou Nozomi, her voice choked with tears. There were already a few tears in the corners of her eyes, just like a girl who had been bullied.
"That's not my problem, after all, this is a failed experiment. The original setting was to make people more feminine; who knew where it went wrong? It did indeed become very feminine. But this only happens if girls drink it; if boys drink it, they turn into girls. It's unsolvable; I can't do anything about it. You can only wait for its effects to wear off slowly."
Toujou Nozomi spread her hands, giving Itsuka Shiori an answer that left her not quite despairing.
"Th-then when will the effects wear off!?" Thinking that she could change back was enough, but when would she be able to change back!?
"That varies from person to person. It could be a few hours, or it could be a few days. During this time, you can only properly experience what it's like to be a girl. Isn't that great? You know, not many boys get to have this kind of experience."
But I don't want this experience at all!! Itsuka Shiori roared continuously in her heart. This was the first time in her life she had the urge to hit a girl. Although she wouldn't be her opponent.
After organizing her camera, Tobiichi Origami carefully glanced at Itsuka Shiori, then turned to Toujou Nozomi and extended her hand.
"Friends!?"
"Of course! We're good friends, aren't we?"
