50 Temporary swap

[Some days later]

Moka was having a "Particular" conversation with… Herself… They were in a dream-like world, she was wearing clothes while Inner Moka was completely naked, it was similar to the conversation Gabriel would have with Meruem on the former's dreams.

Moka: It's only gonna happen today, I might just be tired, but recently I'm always feeling sleepy…

Inner Moka: What do you mean 'Only Today'? Your personality itself is full of openings, I don't even have idea how you survived the entire time at school.

Moka: What about you!? You've never helped me with cleaning and I'm always the one cooking… Ah. Oh, I'm sorry… That's because you're sealed up…

Inner Moka: *Sigh* I wonder what's going with Gabriel and the other inside him…

Gabriel already talked about Meruem inside him to both of them, but he never said anything about the time he has before he is erased from his body, leaving a beast behind…

Now, Moka reached her dormitory room and said to no one.

Moka: I'm home.

She took out her shoes and reached her bedroom, before changing clothes.

Moka: I'm so tired… Ahh it's so late already. Guess I was working too hard distributing the newspapers. I should hurry up and take a bath and get changed, ah, but I also need to make dinner. No way, there's nothing in the refrigerator…

Then she jumped on her bed and murmured.

Moka: Oh well! For now I guess I'll just go to sleep!

Inner Moka: 'No way! How lazy can you get!? Get up, outer!! O-UT-ER!!'

Moka: Wha-What is it, Inner? And stop calling me that…

Inner Moka: 'Be quiet! And more importantly why are you going to bed right after coming back!?'

Moka: But…

Inner Moka: 'Look, we aren't just separate personalities, your body is at the same time my body as well. I'm not going to let you ignore your own health! Take a bath! Have a meal! After you have done everything you need to do then you can go to sleep!'

Moka: Guu…

Inner Moka: 'LISTEN!!'

[Later]

Moka was yawning while she was cooking and started another conversation with Inner Moka.

Moka: ..Recently you sure seem to be coming out more, Inner. Before, you'd only talk to me once every two or three days.

Inner Moka: 'If our minds aren't synchronised we can't talk like this, I've only just recently gotten the hang of synchronising us.'

Moka: I see.

Then she used her chopsticks to take some instant noodles.

Inner Moka: '...Wait! You're having a cup of noodles for dinner!?'

Moka: Yep, it's my favourite tomato flavour.

Inner Moka: 'Who cares about that!? You need to have something with more nutrition! What will you do if your skin starts to go dry!? Take in more vitamins and fibre and stay away from carbohydrates! Eat things with a lot of salt like ramen and you're gonna end up with edema!'

Moka: Aww, be quiet…. Oh, well, how about this? Tomorrow for the entire day you can use this body? I'll tell Gabriel to remove the seal!

Inner Moka: '...The entire day!?'

Moka: Yeah! Let's do that! I've also been feeling tired so this is perfect.

Inner Moka: 'You idiot…! If we do that, who knows what will happen to the seal… It's too dangerous!'

Moka: It's only one day, it'll be alright. Besides, don't you want to see what life is like as a High School student?

Inner Moka: '...!'

Moka: Yeah?

Inner Moka: 'A… Highschool student…? No way… Why would I want to-'

[Tomorrow]

Gabriel: Good morning Moka.

Inner Moka: ...Good morning.

At school, rumors about Moka's new condition spreaded out.

Students: Whoa! Big news! The thing that's been just a rumor all this time: Moka's real form has finally been revealed!! / And yet, she's so beautiful! / I know, I saw her normally and she's already pretty, but her real form is even more intense! / Her beauty is at the level of gods, she's like the goddess of beauty.

Kurumu: Hey!! What's going on, Inner Moka?

She looked behind Moka, and saw a sea of students trying to look at her.

Kurumu: Look at all those people, you sure it's okay? Exposing your real identity to everyone in the school.

Moka: It's not like I've been trying to hide it and I don't really care about what happens in the school. It's just that the Outer one kept urging me to try this once… And the promise was only "Until sunset"... I'll just spend the time and 'nothing' will happen.

Kurumu: I already have an uneasy feeling about this…

Gabriel: Pfft, what could possibly happen, a giant pumpkin pie reducing the school in ashes?

Mizore: Well, it might be interesting…

Everyone turned around and saw Mizore hanging from the ceiling upside down.

Mizore: It's rare that we get a chance to see Inner Moka's daily life…

Kurumu: Mizore… You're spying on us again?

Mizore: Can you call it stalking?

Kurumu: *Sigh* Whatever… If she doesn't harm my Tsukune then it's alright.

[1st Period: English]

Moka: "National characteristics are not easy to pin down, and when pinned down, they often turn out to be trivialities or seem to have no connection with one another. Nevertheless, nothing is causeless, and even the fact that Englishmen have bad teeth can tell one something about the realities of English life."

The blind English teacher snapped his fingers and said with a smile.

Teacher: Magnificent! That was splendid, Akashiya. You're always splendid but today you are even more splendid! It's like you're a different person… Excellent!

Yukari: I'm so impressed… Your pronunciation was so fluent it's as if you were a native speaker… Not only is Inner Moka the second strongest, you're also so smart…

Gabriel: She's right, even some native people would stumble on their own words, you already surpassed them.

Moka: But I'd lose to you two. I just studied a little of it through the five senses of the Outer me. Besides, my mother used to teach me english so I've been able to speak it since I was small, unlike Gabriel who was born in America or you.

[2nd Period: P.E.]

The girls were playing volleyball, and just like everyone expected, Moka achieved a crushing victory against the other team, but the unexpected thing was the hole behind the other team, where the ball landed…

Student: ...I don't want to die in a game of volleyball…

[3rd Period: Social Science]

Perfect

[4th Period: Maths]

Just below Yukari…

Students: Incredible! I can't believe she solved that legendary problem which is said that only Yukari could solve, and in her head as well! / She's perfect! / Surely she's Miss. Perfect!!

Moka was walking away to eat lunch with a proud expression, maybe it was the first time for her to be complimented from everyone around her like that.

[Noon: Lunch]

Moka: It looks like I was able to spend the morning with 'Nothing' happening…

Gabriel: Attracting a half the student body, both male and female, doesn't mean 'Nothing'.

Moka: Welp, there isn't still any problem until now.

Gabriel: Good luck with it. *Nom*

He was eating his meat like every day, it was still good, but compared to strong monsters' flesh, it was nothing.

Gabriel: So, what do you have after this?

Moka: It should be Home Economics.

Gabriel: Neat, I have dodgeball.
