One day, my best friend suddenly turned into a sickly girl from the TS - Chapter 26: Together Forever, Wherever We Go(End)

Asahina Yoru, a second-year student, was well-known.

Already famous for his good looks, his transformation into a woman spread like an event across the school. In modern times, gender transition (TS) is accepted, but changing from male to female is still rare.

Even unintentionally, many students would glance at Yoru, thinking, “Ah, that’s the person.” It’s natural to feel some resistance, knowing she was originally male, regardless of her striking beauty.

However, spending time with Yuuki, Yoru gradually became more feminine, to the point where she seemed like she had always been a woman. He… rather, she, could never return to being a man and must live as a woman—a constant truth.

“The second-year Asahina-senpai is beautiful.”

“Asahina-senpai from the second year is so pretty, isn’t she?”

Unaware of Yoru’s struggles, some admire her. More feminine and beautiful than average girls, with no trace of her past masculinity, Yoru, smiling beside Yuuki, truly draws attention.

“Asahina-senpai!”

“What is it?”

At times, a junior would call out to Yoru, who showed no interest in them, making them regret speaking. Yoru, with an indifferent look, only smiled when talking to Yuuki.

Only Yuuki and a few friends like Kanase could bring such smiles to Yoru.

“…Sorry. It’s nothing.”

“Alright. Let’s go, Yuuki.♪”

In front of the junior, Yoru took Yuuki’s hand and walked away.

Naturally, many boys, not just the junior, watched them. The fantasy of having such a beautiful girlfriend seemed so delightful.

Some were jealous of Yuuki for receiving Yoru’s love, while others envied Yoru for acquiring such beauty despite her past. They were a topic of discussion, but the couple showed no concern for such chatter.

For both Yuuki and Yoru, there was no need to worry. Their happiness and the support from those around them were evident.

“Hey, Yoru.”

“What’s up?”

It was a certain day during the holidays.

Whether doing something special or not, Yoru was always by his side, and today was no exception. They spent the holiday at home, simply enjoying each other’s company.

Glancing at Yoru reading a manga, shoulder-to-shoulder with him, he never tired of her beautiful profile. The thought of her being his girlfriend filled him with happiness.

“Nothing much happening recently, right?”

“Worried again? There’s nothing, you know.”

…Alright, she’s not hiding anything.

There had been incidents of senior girls harassing Yoru, making him, as her boyfriend, a bit sensitive. Yoru was strong and wouldn’t be perturbed by minor annoyances, but it was always better to be concerned.

“…Seriously, my boyfriend is such a worrywart.”

“Hey, wait…”

Yoru, putting down the manga, pinned me down.

Straddling me, she leaned close, rubbing her cheek against my chest, sliding her abdomen and hips up and down as if to imprint her touch and scent on me.

“I’m fine. I wouldn’t burden Yuuki, my precious lover, with needless worries. But I’m happy you care about me like this. That’s why I’m so fortunate.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah… kiss“

Yoru, bringing her face close to mine, kissed me. It was a light touch, and she pulled back, smiling beautifully.

“Hey, Yuuki.”

“What’s up?”

“What if… just if, a cure for TS was found, what would you do?”

“What do you mean…?”

I thought hard about it and decided to be honest, though it was hard to say.

“I’d prefer things to stay as they are…”

Otherwise… right?

Laughing heartily at my response, Yoru apologized for laughing so much.

“I feel the same. I have no intention of going back to being a man. I want to be your girl forever.”

“…Yoru!!”

“Come on, hold me tighter♪”

Yoru always had sweet words for me, and now was no different. How could I not be happy? I naturally wanted to embrace the lovely girl before me.

“I could just stay like this forever.”

“Agreed. Melting into each other like this…”

“That’s a bit scary.”

“Yeah, I realize that now.”

We exchanged a wry smile. Yoru moved away, and I sat up, embracing her. Her softness and scent made me want to stay like this forever, and Yoru hugged me back.

“…I’m really glad I met you, Yuuki.”

“Me too. Yoru, we’ll always be together, right?”

“Of course,♪ I’ll always be with you.”

My girlfriend was once a boy but became a woman due to illness. Our connection, impossible without TS, was made possible by it.

“…I’m thankful for TS now. It gave me a future where I can love you.”

“Happy about it… is that okay?”

“I couldn’t be happier. If time were infinite, I’m confident I could love you forever. I’m sure of it.”

It’s heavy, but… it’s also true.

“Yoru, I’m counting on you from here on.”

“Yeah. Here’s to a long relationship.♪”

I’d continue living with this wonderful girl, not just a fleeting connection but a strong bond that could withstand anything.

“Yuuki, I think I’ll start getting used to seeing myself as a woman…”

“Don’t push yourself. Just be yourself, Yoru.”

“…Really, I love you.♪”

“Hey, it’s still daytime—”

…The fact that she was originally a man, knowing all the right things to do, is a threat. I’m utterly fascinated by Yoru, tied by a destiny that won’t let us part… Well, that’s what I wanted.

I thought so, responding to Yoru’s love.

◆

Several years have passed since then.

Yoru and I were still inseparable, always together. Despite our efforts to be mindful, Kanase and our friends often told us to tone down our affectionate displays.

Today, Yoru and I are about to enter a new relationship phase.

“Come on, Uozumi-kun, make sure you’re looking.”

At Kanase’s cue, I entered the room, and a beautiful woman stood in the center. She was dressed in a pure white wedding gown.

“…How do I look?”

“You look amazing.”

Of course, she was Yoru.

Today, Yoru and I were getting married. We had been together since our student days, and now we were truly becoming one – a family.

“…I wonder if it’s okay to be this happy.”

“It’s more than okay. This isn’t a dream or anything.”

“…You’re right. Exactly.”

Yoru shed tears, so I hastily wiped them with a handkerchief.

She was relieved that her makeup hadn’t smudged… but even then, her stunning beauty was now magnified with her makeup.

“Yoru.”

“What is it?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Is it a bit early? Well, it’s always been our favorite thing to express our love for each other.

Surrounded by many people blessing us, Yoru and I had our wedding ceremony.

It was a significant day, marking our vow always to be together.

And with that, the story comes to an end!

This was a challenge as a TS (Transgender) themed work, but it was a typical sweet love story. I plan to continue writing various kinds of unconventional stories in the future.

Thank you, everyone, for reading this far.
