“Aww~” “Aww~”

For starters, it didn’t seem to be a mother-son relationship. What kind of mother in the world would feed her son so closely that her chest touched him?

‘Yeah, that’s me~’

Thanks to that, my meal times were filled with both joy and unease. Why would I be uneasy when a beautiful mother was feeding me next to me?

Well…

“Ayaka, Takuya, aren’t you two a little too close?”

On the opposite side, Yuka’s mother was looking at me with an extremely suspicious expression, so how could I not feel uneasy? If our relationship were discovered, she’d probably be quite shocked.

‘And also about Takuya before the possession.’

That’s why I felt uneasy, but…

“Aww~” “Ah, aww~”

In the end, I couldn’t resist Ayaka’s mother. No. Honestly, giving up food fed by a busty, beautiful, perverted mother? Are you gay?

Anyway, because of that, I diligently ate the food Ayaka’s mother spoon-fed me, all while receiving suspicious glances from Yuka’s mother. Thus, my relationship with Ayaka’s mother was far more developed than a mother-son relationship.

‘Honestly, there’s still a lingering discomfort, though.’

I decided not to pry into it. Who in the world doesn’t have secrets? I also live hiding secrets. Therefore, I decided to stop paying attention to whatever Ayaka’s mother was hiding.

Anyway, after finishing breakfast, I immediately prepared for school. I was so absorbed in the food Ayaka’s mother was feeding me that I was about to be late. So I quickly ate my food and then ran towards school. Fortunately, perhaps because my body had become smaller, I was agile and didn’t take long to get to school.

“Phew! Safe!” “Takuya, you’re here?” “Ah, hello Takuya…” “Ah, Sōta, Momiji, good morning.”

I entered the classroom, hearing greetings from Sōta, who had become strangely (I don’t know why) more handsome lately, and Momiji, who had a cute hair clip. After putting my bag down in my seat, I praised Momiji’s cute hair clip. There’s no harm in giving a compliment.

“Momiji, you have a hair clip? It’s cute.” “R-really? Hehe, th-thank you!” “Yeah. It suits you well.”

A short while after I started complimenting Momiji’s hair clip, the class bell rang, and we quietly listened to the lesson.

‘Ugh, this is incredibly boring.’

Perhaps it was because I was so far from studying before being possessed. The class was truly excruciatingly boring. Or maybe it was just the teacher’s soft, soothing tone that made me sleepy.

Anyway, as I was listening to the class, my body felt stiff, so I stretched and happened to look out the window. And when I looked out the window, I was slightly surprised. Because…

‘Were there always so many crows in our neighborhood?’

Countless crows were flying outside the window. No, not just one or two, but almost 20 crows. At such a surprising sight, I poked Sōta and told him to look outside.

“Hey, hey, Sōta, look at that. Crows.” “Huh? Where?” “There, see?” “I don’t see anything?” “What?”

At his words, I turned my head again, and all the countless crows that had just been there were gone.

‘What? Was it a dream?’

For a moment, I wondered if I was so sleepy during class that I was hallucinating, but I clearly saw the flock of crows. But now they were gone.

‘What is this? Could it be a yokai?’

At such a strange situation, I momentarily suspected some kind of entity, but then I shook my head.

‘Yuki Onna said it’s impossible for me to see yokai without spiritual power unless they’re special beings like Hachishakusama. It must be my imagination.’

It seemed like it truly was a hallucination.

‘I should tell Ayaka’s mother to come less at night.’

As a bonus, I finished my thoughts on this by thinking I should tell Ayaka’s mother, the ‘semen thief’ who visits me every night to steal my semen, to come less often.

─Caw!

Naturally, Takuya’s thoughts were correct, but…

“Hmm, you noticed. Perhaps I watched for too long.”

Unfortunately, it would still take some time for him to realize that.

***

On the way home after school.

Sōta had already left for cram school today, so only Momiji and I remained, and we were just walking home together. To be precise, it was the way home while casually teasing Momiji with snacks.

“Momiji, have some of this.” “C-can I eat it? It l-looks expensive?” “It’s fine. My mom bought it.”

Though it was Sōta’s mom. Anyway, it’s a mom, right? Go on~

Nodding at my words, Momiji happily put the snack I gave her into her mouth with gusto. Children truly are prettiest when they smile.

How long had we been walking, giving Momiji various things? From far away, I sensed a man walking with a drunken gait. Normally, I would have just passed by, thinking ‘drinking at this hour,’ and looking at him like trash, but I couldn’t do that this time. Because…

-Thump. “Ta-Takuya…”

Momiji, who had been smiling happily next to me, was trembling violently, her eyes wide with fear. At that sight, I sensed something was wrong. Up until now, Momiji had seemed timid, but she had never shown such extreme trembling. So I quietly asked.

“Who is it?”

The answer to my question was quite unexpected.

“M-my dad.”

Indeed, meeting her dad and trembling like that, it couldn’t be anything but unusual. At the same time, a certain possibility came to mind.

‘Could it be domestic violence?’

I waited for the man to approach, with a ‘no way’ feeling, and as he got closer to Momiji and me, he seemed to recognize Momiji. The man, no, more precisely, a middle-aged man reeking of alcohol and clearly looking furious, glanced briefly at Momiji. He then looked away as if uninterested and made a call on his phone.

“Hey, hey! Lend me 10,000 yen! Huh? What about the one I borrowed last time? Tsk, I told you I’d win it back and pay you.”

Momiji’s trembling didn’t stop until the man, speaking in a rude tone, completely disappeared from our sight. I comforted Momiji like that and walked her home.

“Goodbye, see you at school on Monday.” “Okay. Be careful.”

Her expression was very dark when we arrived home, so I snapped my fingers in front of Momiji and said:

“May you be happy today.” “Wh-what are you doing, Takuya?” “Just some encouraging support.”

It wasn’t hypnosis, just simple encouragement, but Momiji seemed to have received considerable comfort from it.

“Hehe! Thank you, Takuya!”

I stroked Momiji’s smiling head and watched until she went inside her house.

‘It seems my assumption was correct.’

I also caught a glimpse inside the house, which was so messy it seemed even a pigsty would be cleaner.

After seeing Momiji off, I was on my way back home, pondering what I should do.

─Ring! Ring! Ring!

That’s when the flip phone I had started ringing. I opened the suddenly ringing flip phone to check who was calling me, and the caller, to my surprise…

[T-Takuya, how have you been?]

It was Yuni’s call, who had androphobia. And it wasn’t just a call for a simple task.

[H-hey, if you have time, do you want to go on a date tomorrow?!]

It was a date invitation.

***

The circumstances under which Yuni asked Takuya out on a date were nothing special.

“Is that really Takuya?” “I told you, yes. How many times do I have to say it?” “I-I just can’t believe it!”

It was simply because Takuya had changed to be more like a girl, and as a result, her androphobia had distinctly lessened compared to before. Look, like this.

“Hmph.” “Oh, it stretches.”

Even when Yuni’s cheek was grabbed and pulled, she reacted just like ordinary people. This was a truly surprising result. Especially considering that before he changed, when Takuya tried to stretch his cheek, he froze for an hour the moment his cheek was grabbed.

Therefore, Yuni decided to realize her long-held dream.

‘N-now I can date a boy!’

A date with a boy, just like she often saw in romantic comedy anime! It was one of Yuni’s modest dreams. Therefore, Yuni mustered her courage (it took about three weeks to gain the courage) and asked Takuya. She asked him for a date, and at Yuni’s words, Takuya readily accepted.

[Okay, let’s meet in front of ○○ Park tomorrow.]

At those words, Yuni felt as good as if she were flying in the sky all day. The next day, at the appointed time and place, Yuni arrived and ran towards Takuya, who had already arrived.

“Hehe! Takuya!” “What, you came early… huh?”

Takuya was about to open his mouth to praise Yuni for arriving earlier than expected, but he lost his words when he turned his head and saw Yuni’s outfit. Because Yuni’s outfit was…

‘G-Gothic Lolita?’

It was truly a Gothic Lolita outfit that looked like something out of a weeb anime. And it was a design that felt quite ‘authentic’.
