Chapter 85 : Body Swap?

Monday, Kansai Region, Lion King Organization.

"Are you telling me that The Fourth Primogenitor appeared in Kannawa, disrupted the Avalon Seal Ritual, and even took the S-rank criminal, Kusakabe Misuzu?" asked Shizuka Koyomi, one of the Three Saints, visibly distressed by all the information.

"That's exactly correct. Akatsuki Hisano can also confirm this," Yukari replied respectfully, knowing she dared not lie to her superior.

"Were you able to identify the new Fourth Primogenitor?" Koyomi asked, a glimmer of hope evident in her voice, hoping he might be Japanese since he was in Japan. This could be a golden opportunity to gain an ace against the Progenitors.

"He's the Heir of the King of Heroes, known as Nifuji Akira," Yukari reported respectfully, offering additional information. "A few years ago, he trained for a time in High God Forest under the supervision of Fujisaka Touka, who disappeared after he left."

"So, it was that man…" Koyomi sighed in exhaustion, recognizing the infamous figure known well in High God Forest. "In that case, assign Kirasaka Sayaka to monitor him."

"Please forgive my rudeness, Shizuka-sama, but Sayaka has a phobia of men. I doubt she would be suited for this mission," Yukari said with a wry smile, explaining her student's condition, knowing that Sayaka wouldn't even speak to her superiors if they were male.

"Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be quite willing if you tell her the monitoring target is Nifuji Akira," Koyomi responded with a hint of amusement. "For Kirasaka Sayaka, Nifuji Akira is her knight in shining armor."

"... As you wish, Shizuka-sama," Yukari hesitated for a moment, ultimately agreeing with Koyomi's order, though she couldn't imagine Sayaka willingly getting close to a man.

"Well then, be on your way, and once Kirasaka Sayaka returns, send her to meet me," Koyomi said calmly, her thoughts unreadable to anyone in the room.

"Excuse me," Yukari said respectfully, bowing to Koyomi one last time before leaving.

"Yaaawn~ My body feels strangely heavy," Akira yawned as he got up from bed, only to find himself already on the floor, which caused him to open his eyes to see what was going on. "A futon?"

Akira was somewhat surprised, not remembering ever sleeping on a futon, as he was used to sleeping on a bed. This prompted him to examine his surroundings, wondering if he might be dreaming.

"Where am I?" Akira muttered, looking around the room, which was clearly not his, before glancing at himself in the mirror. "Seriously…"

Akira couldn't believe his eyes. His golden hair and crimson eyes had disappeared, but the biggest shock was the prominent swelling in his chest area.

"Is this the classic body swap from anime?" Akira murmured, placing his hands on his chest. Unlike his own muscular chest, this one was soft and felt like meat buns.

"Onee-chan, wake up! Morning's here!" Akira heard a young girl's voice with a strange accent, and soon after, a little girl slid open the paper door and entered. "Onee-chan, what are you doing touching your own chest?"

"Onee-chan…" Akira tilted his head in confusion, not expecting to be called "Onee-chan" at this age.

"What are you muttering about half-asleep? Hurry up and get up; we have school to go to," the young girl said, closing the door forcefully before leaving the room.

"What do I do now…" Akira muttered, clueless about his current situation, even though it felt somewhat familiar. He just couldn't remember the anime from which this girl came, whose body he now occupied. "No choice but to go to school, I suppose."

With that thought, Akira got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and put on the uniform without feeling shy or hesitant, having been accustomed to helping Mashiro dress before.

As for his hair, he found it troublesome to leave it messy, so he tied it up in a simple ponytail to keep it out of his way.

"Miyamizu Mitsuha…" Akira murmured the name of the girl whose body he now inhabited, fortunately having found her student ID, which spared him the hardship of a day without knowing his own name. "I feel like I've heard this name recently."

Akira wasn't sure why, but the name "Mitsuha" sounded familiar, as though he'd heard it within the past few years, though he couldn't recall exactly where.

'By the way, what abilities can I use in this body?' Akira wondered, closing his eyes to check on the powers that accompanied him into this world. 'Looks like The Third Magic, Gate of Babylon, and The End are the only abilities I can access in this body, and it seems the system and chat group are still with me.'

"Onee-chan, breakfast!!" Akira heard the young girl's voice again, clearly still waiting for him to join for breakfast. "Coming right away!!"

"Seriously, what's going on with me?" Akira muttered softly, the gentle, delicate tone of his voice contrasting with his original magnetic and masculine voice.

And so, Akira made his way to where he'd heard the girl's voice earlier. Despite this body's extreme physical weakness, as it belonged to a normal human girl, Akira's spiritual senses made it easy for him to locate the girl's voice, as well as another person with her.

"Good morning…" Akira said nonchalantly, yawning as he sat cross-legged in front of the low table with breakfast set out, as if he were in his own home.

"With Mitsuha finally here for breakfast," the elderly grandmother said, picking up her chopsticks and clasping her hands together.

"Itadakimasu!!" the three of them chanted in unison, beginning their meal as the little girl complained about her sister's odd behavior.
