Sato Miwako, from Investigation Division 1 of the Miyagi Prefectural Police Headquarters, held a cigarette in her mouth while reviewing a document.

[Kondo Kumoto Attending Physician’s Medical Opinion]

It was the medical opinion regarding the injuries of the high school girl kidnapper who was currently making headlines across Miyagi Prefecture, no, the entire nation.

‘The injuries on his arms and legs are clearly knife wounds, his face was struck with a fist, and he has amnesia along with a head injury.’

She thought about how viciously he must have been beaten, by whoever it was.

After a quick glance at the report, Miwako tossed the document aside and leaned back in her chair, pondering.

‘It seems we won’t find the person who reported him.’

Currently, the Japanese political scene wasn’t just chaotic; it was utterly flipped upside down.

This was because the politicians implicated in the recent sexual assault case were found to have ties to the Yakuza, causing a massive uproar.

Well, receiving some money from the Yakuza wouldn’t have been a huge issue, but…

‘They received child pornography, that’s the problem…’

It wasn’t just simple adult videos; they had received pornography involving high school girls, middle school girls, and even elementary school students. It was natural that the situation had gone beyond a mere uproar to a complete upheaval.

Thanks to this, not only was the political world in turmoil, but there was also a push to further strengthen the Yakuza Anti-Gang Measures Act and implement a Gang Exclusion Ordinance.

“Phew~ This cigarette tastes good today.”

“Oh, Sunbae, did you switch brands?”

“No. It’s just that the situation is amusing.”

“Huh.”

So, with all attention focused on that side, interest in the original informant, the one who started all of this, had actually faded away.

Of course, not everyone had lost interest.

‘Who on earth are you?’

Eccentrics like Miwako were more curious about the informant’s identity than about new legislation or the truth of the case.

In fact, Miwako’s reason for being curious about the informant was simple.

‘That gym teacher, he wasn’t an ordinary person.’

People who only saw him through news and newspapers might just know him as a promising coach and a sex offender, but that man, Kumoto, was no ordinary man.

Not only had he served in the Self-Defense Forces, but he also had a record of overseas deployments and winning various sports competitions.

He was clearly an extraordinary talent in that field.

Such an extraordinary man…

[H-hehehe… I-I’m sorry, I did wrong…]

…was left half-insane. How could she not be interested?

‘The doctor said he might have amnesia due to concussion symptoms.’

No matter how she looked at it, Kumoto seemed like someone whose brain had been messed with.

In short, he wasn’t normal.

‘The high school girl and boy at the scene said they didn’t know who he was…’

There were three people at the scene.

The culprit, the victim, and a high school boy who was there for unknown reasons.

Aside from it being a strange combination.

‘The high school boy definitely seemed like he didn’t know, but the high school girl seemed to know something.’

Miwako thought for a long time, then finally scratched her head and tossed the paper away.

No matter how much she thought about it, the informant’s identity remained elusive.

Besides, there was still work to do…

Miwako stubbed the cigarette in her mouth into the ashtray and started working again.

She needed to finish her current tasks quickly if she wanted to investigate separately.

***

The day after Haru confessed to me.

I was currently undergoing a medical examination at the hospital.

“Hmm, your condition has improved significantly. Perhaps it’s because you’re young, but your recovery speed is very fast.”

After listening to the bald doctor’s diagnosis.

“Here’s your medical bill and prescription~”

I also got my medicine.

“Sayoko-san~ He’s our son, so can he wait in the hospital lounge and go home with us when we finish work?”

“Of course.”

I met Ayaka’s mom and rested in the nurses-only lounge.

Huh? Why is Ayaka’s mom suddenly appearing?

That’s because Ayaka’s mom works as a nurse at the hospital.

‘Specifically, I think she said she was a quasi-nurse?’

Ayaka’s mom isn’t exactly a nurse; she’s a quasi-nurse.

You might ask what the difference is.

If I had to explain the difference… truth be told, I don’t really know. I just know that my mom does that kind of work.

I roughly know that a quasi-nurse is similar to a nursing assistant in Korea.

And what’s a nursing assistant? They just assist nurses and doctors? Something like that.

Anyway, Ayaka’s mom was working as a quasi-nurse at a hospital in Miyagi Prefecture that wasn’t small, but also not big enough to be called large.

If you ask why she was working as a quasi-nurse, the reason was simple.

Ayaka’s mom had the relevant qualifications, and since she didn’t receive any support funds when leaving the Mori family, she had to work.

She also said that she enjoyed taking care of people.

I thought about that as I looked around.

‘By the way. It really is an eroge world, isn’t it? Look at their outfits.’

There were two nurses resting nearby, and their outfits were quite… suggestive.

Pink, tight-fitting material with short skirts—the kind of manga & subculture nurse outfits that, if real nurses saw, they’d probably have a fit.

‘Do real nurses really wear outfits like this?’

I wondered what they would do if there was an emergency patient.

“It’s nice that it’s quiet today.”

“Hey, watch your words. Last time you said that…”

“Ah, emergency patient!”

Other nurses (these ones wore comfortable outfits, like real nurses, suitable for running) entered the lounge and then hurriedly rushed out.

Seeing that, I roughly understood how this hospital operated.

‘Could it be that nurses working in the emergency room wear comfortable clothes, and those who don’t wear these sexually appealing outfits?’

Honestly, I thought it was absurd, but after walking around the hospital a bit, I realized my thoughts were actually true.

‘This is insane.’

Because of this, I wondered what kind of hospital was managed like this, but surprisingly, the hospital owner himself had ordered it.

The hospital owner was apparently a famous perverted old man in the region.

Well, if he were just a perverted old man, he would have been reported and shut down, but he reportedly paid people well, so people just went along with it.

At least my Ayaka’s mom was a quasi-nurse, so she always wore comfortable clothes due to her heavy workload, which was a relief. Otherwise, I would have truly wanted to turn things upside down.

Anyway, after finishing my examination at the hospital, I waited for Ayaka’s mom for a bit.

“You’re Ayaka-san’s son?”

“He’s definitely his mother’s son.”

“Are you interested in being set up with a girl?”

I was surrounded by pretty women, whether they were Noonim or Ahjummas, and was becoming their comfort doll.

Since my appearance is what it is, I couldn’t help but stand out. And perhaps because I’m good at talking to adults, I quickly became friendly with them.

And, as a bonus.

Squish~

“Oh my, does this Ahjumma’s butt feel that good to you?”

“Ahjumma’s butt is firm and nice.”

“How about Noona’s?”

“It’s soft and nice.”

I lost track of time as I sexually harassed these nurses, whether they were Noonim or Ahjummas, using hypnosis.

After being among the people for a while.

“Takuya~ Oh, hello everyone~”

Ayaka’s mom came to pick me up, having finished her work.

I immediately took my hands off the Ahjummas’ and Noonim’s butts and approached my mom.

It was time to go home.

On the way home,

“Takuya. Mom loves you no matter what you look like. You know that, right?”

“Huh? Uh, yeah…”

Ayaka’s mom had suddenly said something out of the blue.

For a moment, I didn’t understand her words, but seeing her expression, it seemed sincere, so I nodded and replied.

At my answer, Ayaka’s mom affectionately stroked my head as if I were commendable.

It was a sudden touch, but I didn’t resist it.

And so, more time passed, and two nights later.

[Penalty application begins! This will be accompanied by severe pain, so please be careful!]

“Gasp! Gasp! Ugh!!”

Amidst intense pain, I could see the warning message displayed before my eyes.

As the agony washed over me, I somehow managed to read the words on the screen, and as soon as I did, an expletive burst forth.

‘Damn it… you bastards… give me a warning beforehand…’

You never said it would hurt this much.

Anyway, as I was losing consciousness from the immense pain.

“Takuya. I’m sorry.”

‘Wh-who is it…’

An unknown voice, along with a warm touch, reached me.

I didn’t know why they were sorry, but my body was in too much pain, and the touch was so warm that I couldn’t refuse it.

That touch remained until I completely fell asleep.

After that night filled with terrible pain, I woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror. In the mirror, there was…

“Who is this?”

A pretty-looking child stood there, neither clearly a boy nor a girl.

I said that, but I knew better than anyone who the pretty child in front of me was.

That was because I was the boy standing there.

‘No. But why is my hair…’

By the way, getting prettier and having longer hair was a bonus.

I sighed deeply while looking in the mirror.

It seemed I had underestimated my own appearance.

To think my face would change this much just because my body got a little smaller.

Life was truly full of unpredictable things.
