The next day.
The first ray of morning light rose, slipping through the thin gap between the curtains to bring a sliver of brightness into the dim room, and Haruno Yukinoshita slowly opened her sleepy eyes.
To be honest, she hadn't slept well that night. She'd been on edge the whole time.
After doing something that wronged Lin Ye so badly, she worried he'd come knocking on her door and give her a harsh lesson.
Beforehand she'd been full of anticipation, eager to see how much delight and joy stirring up trouble would bring her. But afterward she was afraid of Lin Ye's revenge, so she'd fled early, terrified he would track her down to settle the score.
To protect herself, to gain a little more safety and a little less punishment, she'd even gone to Yukino and asked her dear sister for help.
Haruno had no idea whether it would actually work, but something was better than nothing. That was how she saw it.
In any case, her whole plan was to stall as long as she could, hoping that time might cool Lin Ye's anger and resentment toward her.
Haruno stirred and propped herself up on one hand.
But her sharp senses told her something was off with her body.
Something wasn't right.
Especially the place where she was lying, it felt different too.
She had gone to sleep in a hotel, and the hotel didn't have a ceiling like this. What's more, the mattress against her skin felt completely unfamiliar.
"Where am I..."
The words had barely left her mouth when Haruno snapped back to her senses.
The voice was wrong. It was a man's voice.
It clicked for her.
She'd done the Body Swap again.
Haruno shot out of bed and went thump-thump-thump toward the bathroom. Staring at herself in the mirror, she confirmed her situation.
"Haha!"
How exciting!
How thrilling!
Once again, she had Lin Ye's body.
Looking at her sturdy frame in the mirror, Haruno ran her hands over it hard, savoring the strength coursing through every part of her, and grew more and more worked up.
"Off to school again today."
"I'd better hurry."
Haruno sprang into action at once, not daring to waste a moment.
She was using Lin Ye's body now, which meant Lin Ye was using hers. She was certain there was no escaping punishment today.
But at the very least, before the punishment came, she could enjoy herself first and get a little satisfaction.
Otherwise, if Lin Ye cornered her here at the apartment, she wouldn't even get the chance to enjoy anything and would just be hauled off.
"A man's body is such a hassle in the morning."
It took Haruno a good while to calm down before she griped about it.
The heat down there was so persistent. She wanted to help take care of it, but Lin Ye refused to go along, and at this rate, sooner or later there'd be trouble.
Haruno mused.
After washing up, before heading out, she didn't forget to set out John's food for the day.
"See you later."
After saying goodbye to John, Haruno set off for Sobu High.
There was no telling how long the Body Swap would last today.
Maybe a long time, maybe a short one.
Either way, she had to move fast.
No matter what, she'd get some fun out of it first.
Haruno arrived at Sobu High.
Because she'd come so early, there weren't many students in Sobu High uniforms on the road.
"Come this early and there aren't any high school girls around."
"But..."
That adorable little junior of hers would definitely be here.
Haruno thought with a chuckle.
Ever since Meguri Shiromeguri became Student Council President, she'd arrive at school twenty minutes early. Even if she had nothing to do, she'd show up ahead of time.
And the place she went was the Student Council Office.
Perfect.
Today.
She'd go take a look, and maybe she could tease Meguri Shiromeguri a little more.
"You can't just break up with me!"
"Meguri."
"Being a good girl and staying with me, that's the smartest choice you can make."
Brimming with anticipation, Haruno made her way to the Sobu High Student Council Office.
Knock, knock, knock...
She rapped on the door.
Soon, a familiar voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Meguri was puzzled. Who would come to the Student Council Office this early in the morning?
Still, she answered politely.
Soon the door opened.
Meguri froze, her body trembling with instinctive tension.
Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the visitor to be Lin Ye.
Coming all the way here so early in the morning, what for?
A bad feeling rose up in her on instinct.
Could it be, was it possible...
But then Meguri remembered what Yukino Yukinoshita had said the day before, and she felt much calmer. Yukino Yukinoshita had already spoken to him, so surely nothing would happen today.
"Student Lin, is there something you need, coming by so early?"
She forced herself to stay composed, avoiding any misunderstanding.
But deep down, Meguri was tense, even a little frightened, worried that the scene from before might play out all over again.
"It's about what happened earlier. I've come to offer the President my sincere apology."
The moment he said it, the atmosphere eased considerably.
Meguri realized Lin Ye had come to apologize.
So he was here to apologize!
She'd thought Lin Ye had come to threaten her again, to do something more to her.
She'd been overthinking it.
Meguri relaxed.
"It, it's already in the past."
"But the harm done to the President is still there. I, I want to do something for the President, to make it up to you..."
"No, no, no, there's no need. Recognizing your mistake and correcting it is more than enough. Student Lin, just don't threaten girls anymore, don't do this or that to them, and don't take advantage of them, and that'll be fine."
Meguri broke into a smile.
As far as she was concerned, having the matter end here was the best outcome.
Earlier she'd worried that Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't managed to handle it, but from Lin Ye's attitude now, it was clear the whole thing was over.
The unpleasant ordeal was finally at an end.
Meguri let out a long sigh of relief.
"About that..."
"What is it?"
"That's a bit difficult."
"Huh!"
Meguri froze.
Difficult?
Why would he say that?
"After all, President, you're such an adorable girl. Asking me not to threaten or tease you, that's something I just... can't do!"
In the blink of an eye, Haruno was standing right in front of Meguri.
Meguri instinctively backed away and was pinned into the corner.
"St-Student Lin..."
Meguri's voice trembled.
"Trying to get away from me..."
"Trying to leave me, that just won't do!"
"A girl who won't behave needs to be taught a good lesson..."
That "lesson" sounded anything but wholesome.
"Of course! I'm... not the type to manhandle a girl with force. I'll definitely get your consent, President. Isn't that right?"
"I won't consent."
Meguri gritted her teeth and said it at once.
Haruno just smiled, unbothered. She leaned close to Meguri's ear and whispered a few more words.
In an instant, Meguri's expression changed drastically. Her clenched fists and rigid body soon loosened again.
There was nothing she could do.
He even knew about that.
What else could she do?
She could only give in!
"So, dear President,"
"I wonder if you're willing?"
Facing Haruno's question, Meguri turned her head aside, leaving only her profile in view. At last she gave a soft murmur of assent and nodded.
There was nothing she could do. She could only accept it.
