One day, my best friend suddenly turned into a sickly girl from the TS - Chapter 18: Jokes Don't Work with Yoru

“What’s up?”

“Well, just something…”

It was after school.

As our friends prepared to leave, Yoru inspected something inside her shoe locker. It was a neatly folded letter, which she unfolded and began to read aloud.

“Let’s see, ‘I’ve fallen for you at first sight. Would you come to the rooftop after school?'”

“A love letter, huh?”

“Wow, Yoru’s still got it!”

It was expected, given Yoru’s appearance. Without knowing her well, it’s not surprising someone would fall for her looks. But now, she’s my girlfriend… which makes this less amusing.

I tried to hide my annoyance, but Soudo noticed and teased me, slapping my shoulder with a laugh.

“Your girlfriend’s quite popular, huh?”

“Shut up.”

His jests could have been more appreciated. I shrugged off his arm. Murakami and Tanaka also seemed to get the hint, glancing between me and Yoru. Yoru, seemingly puzzled at first, quickly understood my thoughts.

“Hehe, don’t worry. You think I’d go for someone else?”

Saying so, she ripped the letter to pieces.

“I already have a special boyfriend. Besides, only Yuki can handle my feelings.”

“Yoru!!”

Her gesture touched me profoundly, making me more emotional than usual. Although I felt sorry for the letter’s sender, Yoru’s loyalty was immensely gratifying.

“Yuki, Yuki♪”

She patted my head affectionately, standing taller than me. I let her touch me in this secluded space, just us and our friends. Then, they collectively muttered something.

“Damn, show-offs…”

“Yoru as a girl… lucky…”

“I wish… Yoru, can I…?”

“No.”

“…”

Murakami, sorry, buddy.

We parted ways with the others shortly after, with Yoru clinging to my arm, smiling contentedly.

“…Mufufu~”

Let’s just ignore that somewhat creepy chuckle.

Walking to her house, I realized how quickly everyone had accepted us. I’d been tense about it, but now I felt relieved.

“Yuki, come to my place today.”

“Alright, I’ll come over.”

“Yay♪”

“Hurry, hurry,” as if being urged on by the night, I was pulled towards her house. Of course, her aunt and uncle weren’t home yet, so it was just Yoru and me, truly alone.

“Go ahead to my room. I’ll prepare some drinks and snacks,” she said, so I headed to her room first. Although she’s now a woman, Yoru’s room hadn’t changed; it was still the same as when she was a man, which was a relief.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Hey, thanks.”

Yoru was in her room, which didn’t look like a girl’s room at all… This mismatch created a sense of novelty, a freshness that was hard to describe.

“Yoru, even though you’ve become a woman, I feel relieved that your room hasn’t changed.”

“What, you want me to make it all pink and frilly?”

“No, please don’t.”

“Right. Even though I suggested it, it feels weird and wrong.”

Yoru said that. I chuckled and munched on snacks, gulping down juice. Then, I noticed Yoru staring at me. When our eyes met, she leaned on my shoulder and spoke.

“Hey, Yuki, is there anything you want me to do?”

“Something I want you to do?”

Yoru nodded. As I pondered, chin in hand, Yoru gazed at me with indescribable expectation. Being a former man myself, I said half-jokingly.

“I want to see you naked.”

“Creepy, you’re under arrest.”

Immediately regretting my words, I tried to say it was a joke, but Yoru widened her eyes and stood up.

“Is that all? Okay.”

“Huh?”

Yoru began to remove her cardigan and uniform, but I grabbed her hand to stop her.

“Wait a sec. Just kidding, sorry, I got carried away.”

Jokes can lead to serious consequences, I realized. I surrendered, raising both hands. Yoru chuckled, then puffed her cheeks and glared at me.

“Getting me this far and doing nothing, Yuki, you’re a coward.”

“Oof!?”

Her words pierced my heart like a sharp knife. And then, the glimpse of her black underwear through her shirt’s unbuttoned gaps… women’s underwear is somehow erotic. Overwhelmed by the sight of Yoru’s ample cleavage, I overheated.

Yoru, smiling slyly, pushed me onto the bed, pinning me down with her partly undressed body.

“I was originally a man, and I’ve always been with Yuki. So I know what words you’re weak to, what gestures make your heart race. I also felt my heart race with girly gestures, so they should work on you, right?”

With that, Yoru fully unbuttoned her shirt. Her large breasts, supported by the underwear, were prominently in front of me.

“Like this, huh?”

Yoru pressed her chest against my face, engulfing me in a softness that made my head spin with its sweet scent. Struggling for air, I moved frantically, causing a commotion in her soft flesh.

“Ah! Yuki, you’re tickling me!”

“…Mmph!”

What is this, this erotic development? Yoru are a man, Yoru are a man… I tried to cool my excitement, but my brain fully recognized Yoru as a woman. But then, Yoru pulled away.

“So, be careful with jokes, okay?”

“Okay…”

“But still—”

When I let my guard down, Yoru hugged me again, rubbing her cheek against my chest, enjoying the sensation.

“I like being close like this. How about you, Yuki?”

“…I guess I do.”

“Right? We’re compatible!”

Yoru were too strong. Pinned down by her, that’s all I could think of.
