Chapter 109: They swapped bodies with Black Aki.
[fifteen]
Lucky's personality is quite obvious; when he mentioned the photo and the gender swap, the others were already somewhat aware of the answer.
Because it seems that nothing is surprising about what happens to [Morofushi Akira], it is very easy to accept.
They had already roughly guessed it, but these cunning adults had no intention of revealing it; instead, they played the game with the children.
However, both Hagiwara Kenji and Furuya Rei are excellent actors, capable of delivering performances comparable to ten Matsuda Jinpei.
Matsuda Jinpei: ?
Hagiwara Kenjidramatically wiped away his tears, saying, "When did Jinpei-chan and Akira-chan become so close? As Jinpei-chan's best friend, I'm getting jealous."
Matsuda Jinpei said expressionlessly, "There's no way around it; he's my brother-in-law, so I have to appease him."
Upon hearing Matsuda Jinpei's words, Hagiwara Kenji and Furuya Rei were both shocked: "You've taken a liking to Hiromitsu?"
Morofushi Sora'aki, who had been looking down at his book, suddenly looked up: "!?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "..." Wait a minute? Why not Hiroko-san or Umeko-san?? Why is your first reaction Hiromitsu?! Isn't that the name you gave me?!
Hagiwara Kenji declared righteously, "Hiroko-san and Umeko-san are not suitable either, they are still minors!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "..." You guys are really getting into this?! Seriously, I didn't say anything just now.
Hagiwara Kenji winked: "Because I know Jinpei-chan very well, I know exactly what you're thinking."
Morofushi Sora'aki clapped along with the little seal, saying, "You two have such a good relationship."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Shut up—no, stop!"
Matsuda Jinpei sighed: "So what exactly is going on?"
Morofushi Sora'aki thought for a moment and said, "It's just a temporary soul swap, there's nothing to worry about."
Matsuda Jinpei looked at the well-behaved baby in front of him, who was speaking a little strangely, and then thought of Akira, who had targeted him before. He sighed and said helplessly, "I'm not worried. Why don't you just stay in this world?"
Morofushi Sora'aki: "?"
Morofushi Sora'aki: "!"
Morofushi Sora'aki suddenly realized: "Is this a confession?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "..."
Matsuda Jinpei suddenly became serious: "When are you switching back?"
[sixteen]
Twenty-four hours passed quickly. The [Morofushi Akira] inside Lucky's body simply filled up the time in another world and did not visit the Morofushi couple at all.
Lucky, on the other hand, stayed home and slept quietly until he was notified by Saiki Kusuo to be brought back.
However, their relationship didn't end immediately after they switched back; they still had to deal with the problems left behind by the other party.
Everything was fine at home, except that Hiromitsu asked him if he had any thoughts about dating. Morofushi Sora'aki thought about it seriously and asked, "Brother, would you prefer the kind of romance that's in TV dramas or the kind that's in romance comics?"
Upon hearing this answer, Morofushi Hiromitsu understood and smiled as he patted Morofushi Sora'aki's hair: "It's fine as it is now."
"We have a free love policy in our family, but if Sora'aki is interested in dating, you must introduce him to your brother."
Morofushi Sora'aki said earnestly, "If it's a girl, I prefer Hiroko-san."
Morofushi Hiromitsu smiled: "Only this is not allowed."
Morofushi Sora'aki tilted his head: "Miss Taka'aki?"
Morofushi Hiromitsu: "..."
Morofushi Hiromitsu thought about it seriously for three seconds, then rejected it, saying, "That won't work either."
Morofushi Sora'aki: "Brother hesitated."
Morofushi Hiromitsu: "No, I was just imagining what Miss Taka'aki looks like."
Morofushi Taka'aki placed his hand on Morofushi Hiromitsu's shoulder from behind, and said calmly, "Perhaps we should talk, Hiromitsu."
Morofushi Hiromitsu: "...!!" Sora'aki, you didn't even warn me!
[seventeen]
Besides Hiromitsu, Morofushi Sora'aki also encountered his brother's classmate, Hagiwara Kenji.
There are so many Hagiwara Kenji around now, so it needs to be emphasized that this is his own world. He's not from the opposite camp, nor is he Kenmi, nor is he his good friend Hagiwara; he's Hagiwara from the same class as his older brother, whom he's not very close to.
When Hagiwara Kenji saw Morofushi Sora'aki, his expression turned serious: "Sora'aki-chan, do you like Jinpei-chan?"
Morofushi Sora'aki was taken aback, then hesitated and asked, "I like him?"
Hagiwara Kenji's pupils dilated in shock; it seemed his childhood friend's copyability had been enhanced.
Hagiwara Kenji knew, of course, that his best friend wasn't that kind of person, but—Hiromitsu's younger brother was still a child! What if his best friend had said something that caused a misunderstanding, leading the child to react this way…
Wait a minute? Jinpei-chan's occasional outbursts seem to have something to do with him...
Hagiwara Kenji fell into self-reflection.
Morofushi Sora'aki watched Hagiwara Kenji's various expressions, feeling both confused and amused, so he filmed it and decided to show it to his good friend.
Hagiwara Kenji:?
[eighteen]
Good Friends World.
When they met, both Hagiwara and Matsuda, good friends, carefully observed Morofushi Sora'aki's expression before hesitantly asking, "You're not angry anymore?"
Morofushi Sora'aki replied, "I am not angry."
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji both breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
Hagiwara Kenji sighed deeply: "I told you before that Sora'aki-chan should smile more, but I only now realize how terrifying Sora'aki-chan's smile is."
Matsuda Jinpei: "It's a bit scary. He was clearly angry but said he wasn't, and even the cake was wasted."
Morofushi Sora'aki's eyes sharpened: "A cake?"
Morofushi Sora'aki immediately said, "I'm angry."
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei exchanged a glance and patted him on the back cheerfully: "You're playing around again."
"Do you think I can't tell if you're angry or not?"
"Don't even think about getting a piece of cake!"
Morofushi Sora'aki fell silent; he decided to seek advice from Akira.
Lucky: [So how can I make them think I'm angry?]
Akira: [Hehehehe...]
Akira: [Just laugh.]
Morofushi Sora'aki felt this method was a bit strange, but since he didn't think the other party would lie to him, he decided to ask his good friend to test it out.
Morofushi Sora'aki rubbed his face, exercising his facial muscles, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
After confirming that the smiley face wasn't too strange, Morofushi Sora'aki smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Matsuda, Hagiwara." upon seeing his two good friends.
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, who were standing in front of him, were both stunned for a moment. Just when Sora'aki thought he had succeeded, the two boys put their hands on his shoulders.
Hagiwara Kenji exclaimed in delight, "Sora'aki-chan, you really should smile more! It's so cool!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Yeah, it's quite rare. It feels pretty good."
Morofushi Sora'aki's smile vanished, and he angrily messaged Akira: "[Failed, why?]"
Akira: [...]
Akira: [Maybe it's because they're idiots :D]
The same behavior, the same object, yet the reactions are completely opposite.
Morofushi Sora'aki decided to ask another question.
Upon hearing his question, the two good friends thought for a moment, and the intuitive Matsuda Jinpei spoke first: "Because at the time, he gave me a rather distant feeling."
"I even got goosebumps all over." the curly-haired boy commented.
Hagiwara Kenji also exclaimed, "Yeah, I almost thought it wasn't Sora'aki-chan anymore."
"It feels like your entire persona has changed?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "I feel a sense of crisis, don't I? I can't quite put my finger on it."
Hagiwara Kenji: "I don't feel a sense of crisis, but I do feel a bit unfamiliar with things."
Morofushi Sora'aki suddenly realized: "It's the intuition of a small animal!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Huh?"
[nineteen]
This soul exchange was very interesting, and Morofushi Sora'aki wanted to do it again.
However, this time a key superpowered user was missing, so the guardian switched the wrong person.
On this day, when Matsuda Jinpei from the Akira's World woke up in the morning, he had a feeling that something was not right.
However, he didn't think too much about it because he had already gotten up a bit late. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he quickly changed his clothes and went to the Metropolitan Police Department without even glancing at his phone.
On his way to the Metropolitan Police Department, he noticed Officer Takahashi passing by and raised an eyebrow. In his memory, Officer Takahashi was bald yesterday, but today his hair seemed much thicker… Was he wearing a wig?
However, Matsuda Jinpei would not say such things aloud. He naturally sat down at his post, but still noticed that the location of the office was somewhat different from what he remembered.
Furthermore, did Morofushi Akira take the day off again today?
Matsuda Jinpei scratched his curly hair and began his workday seriously.
Then, on his way home from work, he bumped into Hagiwara Kenji, and Matsuda Jinpei greeted him as usual: "Yo."
As a result, Hagiwara Kenji, who wasn't on duty today, saw his childhood friend and asked a thought-provoking question: "Have you said anything strange to Sora'aki-chan?"
Matsuda Jinpei was a little confused, because in conversations, it was usually Morofushi Akira who said strange things (whether it was Lucky or Akira), so the curly-haired officer asked, "You mean that kind?"
Hagiwara Kenji exhaled: "Like liking or being in love?"
Matsuda Jinpei immediately remembered what happened yesterday and casually replied, "Oh, do you mean my underage girlfriend or my three-year-old child?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "?!?!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "What are you surprised about? Didn't you already know that?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "...I already knew?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, when did your face recover?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "What face? I've always had this face—and you explain to me what you mean by 'I knew all along'! What's going on with that girlfriend and child?!"
Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes, sensing something was amiss, but still habitually replied, "Morofushi Akira, wasn't it you who started it?"
Hagiwara Kenji's eyes sharpened, and his hand, which had been holding the handcuffs, began to twitch.
A gentle voice came from behind him: "Matsuda, haven't we had a chat in a long time?"
Matsuda Jinpei turned around in confusion: "Hiromitsu...?"
After saying the name, Matsuda Jinpei saw the cat-eyed boy standing next to him who looked like a minor, and froze instantly, realizing something: "Wait?! Let me explain!"
