Chapter 107: They swapped bodies with Black Aki.
[four]
Lucky's World.
Omitted for brevity. In short, after realizing that his body had been swapped, [Morofushi Akira], who was quite used to this because he had a younger brother with superpowers, looked in the mirror and then tried to lift the corners of his mouth.
Morofushi Sora'aki's face is not paralyzed. He uses the muscles around his mouth when he talks, so even if he doesn't smile often, it won't make him look paralyzed.
If Morofushi Sora'aki really wanted to laugh, he could naturally make that expression.
So, looking at the smiling face of Morofushi Sora'aki in front of the mirror, Morofushi Sora'aki touched his face: "It's a little strange to make this expression at this age."
But it would be fun to tease other people.
A smile crept across Morofushi Sora'aki's lips, a mischievous urge welling up within him.
However, Morofushi Hiromitsu and the others in this world will definitely realize the problem, so it's best to ignore the people in this family.
As he spoke, [Morofushi Akira] asked for leave first—because Morofushi Sora'aki usually followed the rules and rarely asked for leave, the teacher readily accepted the reason after hearing him say on the phone that he had something to do at home.
While Parents Morofushi were still asleep, Morofushi Sora'aki, carrying his schoolbag, stuck a sticky note on the refrigerator saying he had already left, and then happily went out.
Then, after habitually going to Poirot, he belatedly realized that Poirot hadn't been established yet in this era. At the same time, it seemed that Furuya Rei in this world hadn't gone undercover either.
Realizing he had made a wasted trip, [Morofushi Akira]'s lips twitched slightly.
Then, he heard a voice behind him: "Sora'aki-chan? Ah—it really is Sora'aki-chan."
"Don't we have to go to school today?"
It's Hagiwara Kenji.
[Morofushi Akira]Looking up at Hagiwara Kenji, who was a head taller than him, he felt a little annoyed, so he imitated Lucky-chan's tone and said, "Hello, Hagiwara-san."
"Haha, no need to be so formal, it's fine to call me Hagiwara-nii or Kenji-nii~"
"Okay, Hagiwara-san."
"..." Hagiwara Kenji sighed helplessly: "Call me whatever you want, so are we not having class today?"
[Morofushi Akira]: "I took the day off because my online lover said they wanted to meet me."
Hagiwara Kenji wasn't the kind of feudalistic parent who would break up young couples. He not only wouldn't break them up, but he also wouldn't discourage the child's romantic feelings. On the contrary, he was very interested: "Eh? What kind of person is she? Can you tell me about her!"
Morofushi Sora'aki's eyes flashed, and he said, "He's a very interesting person."
Hagiwara Kenji: "Mmm~ And then~"
[Morofushi Akira]: "He seems to be a few years older than me."
Hagiwara Kenji: "Oh, I get it, I get it. Sora'aki-chan, your younger-man vibe is really attractive to older women~"
[Morofushi Akira]: "His handiwork is excellent; he works in a related profession."
Hagiwara Kenji: "Mmm! I feel like she'll be a very gentle girl!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "He smokes and drinks, and seems to be a heavy smoker."
Hagiwara Kenji paused, the gentle, older sister figure he had imagined suddenly transforming into a cool, sophisticated woman: "Ah, does Sora'aki-chan like this type? And then~"
[Morofushi Akira]: "He has a childhood friend, and he will mention his childhood friend whenever they chat."
Hagiwara Kenji narrowed his eyes: "Childhood friend... are you a man or a woman?"
[Morofushi Akira]: "It looks like a man."
Hagiwara Kenji, who was initially quite interested in the romance of the younger brother from the same family, gradually became serious during the conversation: "Sora'aki-chan, you continue."
[Morofushi Akira] continued, "He also has a bad temper, often works late into the night, and doesn't really like going to social events, but he's always dragged along by his childhood friend."
"Oh right, the childhood friend seems to be very good at socializing. If he became a male escort, he could swindle a lot of girls out of their money."
Hagiwara Kenji: "..."
Hagiwara Kenji felt things were getting more and more complicated. Most high school students were still in their rebellious phase. Even though Morofushi Hiromitsu said how well-behaved his younger brother was, not allowing him to date might backfire.
But... that person that Sora'aki-chan mentioned seems so unreliable!!
Then, [Morofushi Akira] delivered the fatal blow: "When did I ever say that my romantic partner was a girl?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "?!?!?"

After toying with Hagiwara Kenji, [Morofushi Akira] stroked his chin and said, "So, those guys who are completely in the light are like this?"
He touched his neck, then said to the amulet hanging on his backpack, "I'm going to the Good Friends World, it should be more fun there."
Amulet: '...'
[Morofushi Akira]: "Lucky-chan mentioned you to me, and my brother also talked about your mechanism—I won't do anything bad, and I can switch bodies with him, which is also related to you, right?"
Amulet: '...'
In the end, the amulet granted his wish.

The school uniform that [Morofushi Akira] is wearing is from Rouman Academy, and it is different from the school uniform he wore in the Good Friends World.
Today, it's the weekend in Good Friends World, so there's no school. The amulet, ever the helpful one, immediately escorted him to Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji.
The two best friends raised an eyebrow and looked at their friend who had suddenly appeared in front of them: "This outfit...did you just get out of school?"
[Morofushi Akira] was also a little surprised that the little kid had actually told this secret to someone else. How good must their relationship be?
Matsuda Jinpei has always had a keen intuition; sometimes, he notices things even faster than Hagiwara Kenji.
The curly-haired boy asked, "What's wrong? You don't look right."
[Morofushi Akira]: "..."
Just as the corners of Morofushi Sora'aki's mouth were about to curve into a smile, he forcibly suppressed it again.
The black-haired boy, mimicking the voice of his other self, said, "I'm starting to hate Jinpei-chan."
"Oh, you hate me all year round, how long do you plan to hate me this time?" Matsuda Jinpei seemed completely unsurprised.
[Morofushi Akira]: ...Wait a minute? Lucky, how exactly do you get along with your best friend?
[Morofushi Akira] thought for a moment and decided to drop a landmine: "Once Jinpei-chan stops toying with my feelings, I won't hate you anymore."
Matsuda Jinpei: "???"
Matsuda Jinpei: "When did I ever toy with you?!"
Hagiwara Kenji, the boy, couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you guys think there's something wrong with your conversation?"
[Morofushi Akira] righteously declared: "Because in my world, Jinpei-chan became my online lover, then deceived my feelings, and we even had a three-year-old child."
Immediately, both Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei couldn't hold back any longer: "What's going on?!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Where did you get these kids from?!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "Have you forgotten Hiro-... Umeko-san?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "..."
Hagiwara Kenji: "..."
[Morofushi Akira] said, "Or perhaps Jinko-san?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "...Hey!!"
[seven]
Matsuda Jinpei firmly refused to believe he was that kind of person, so he retorted, "What new script are you playing now?"
Looking at the flustered boy trying to explain, [Morofushi Akira] finally couldn't hold back his smile and burst out laughing.
"I think I understand why he likes you now." [Morofushi Akira] said with a smile, his adorable counterpart's face on his face. "But I still really hate you."
However, it was this one expression of his that froze both Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji.
Matsuda Jinpei: "...Are you angry?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Jinpei-chan might sometimes say things a bit too harshly, but you know Sora'aki-chan doesn't mean any harm! So don't be so angry!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "..."
[Morofushi Akira] smiled and tilted his head, asking in confusion, "I'm not angry."
Matsuda Jinpei: "You still say you're not angry! You're smiling so happily?!"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Yeah, yeah!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "...Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Anyway, you're angry!"
[Morofushi Akira] was genuinely annoyed this time: "I didn't!"
Hagiwara Kenji: "You do!!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "I didn't!!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "You definitely do!!!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "Yes, I'm getting angry!"
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji exclaimed in unison, "You're really angry?!"
[Morofushi Akira] felt a chill run down his spine. How on earth did little Lucky become friends with these two idiots?! He just couldn't understand it!!
[eight]
Morofushi Sora'aki, who originally intended to play a prank, ended up frustrated with himself, while Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji had no idea what they had done wrong—of course, the latter probably did know, but he would never say it out loud.
Matsuda Jinpei: "So don't be angry anymore, I'll treat you to cake?"
[Morofushi Akira]: "I don't like cake."
Hagiwara Kenji's pupils dilated in shock: "What?! Sora'aki-chan doesn't like cake anymore?!"
He suddenly turned around: "Jinpei-chan! What did you do to offend Sora'aki-chan?!"
Matsuda Jinpei: "How should I know?!"
"I'm still feeling down!"
[Morofushi Akira]: "..."
[Morofushi Akira] sighed, rubbing his forehead, "Two idiots."
He felt that he and Matsuda Jinpei were indeed incompatible, and that the world was so naive that he and Hagiwara Kenji also had incompatible auras.
He probably prefers spending time with the more mature Hagiwara Kenji.
However, this world was chosen by Lucky-chan himself, and [Morofushi Akira] will not comment on it.
In short, he should go home as soon as possible; his younger brother will definitely worry.
[nine]
Lucky's World.
After listening to Hagiwara Kenji's rambling on the phone, Morofushi Hiromitsu tried to stop him, but to no avail.
Even though he is Sora'aki's older brother, for some reason, he is now worried about Hagiwara Kenji.
After listening to Hagiwara Kenji's series of remarks, Morofushi Hiromitsu thought for a moment and then asked a sharp question: "Hagiwara..."
"Morofushi-chan, you must pay attention!!"
"I know." Morofushi Hiromitsu sighed, "But don't you think… the man you're talking about, who's a smoker, skilled with his hands, and has a childhood friend, looks somewhat similar to someone else?"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Huh? Who?"
As he was saying this, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly saw Matsuda Jinpei walking past him, and then his phone fell to the ground.
Hagiwara Kenji's pupils earthquake.
