Chapter 2: The Four Girls

When I suddenly woke up, the cheerful chirping of sparrows came through the window.

As I lifted my upper body, an unbelievable sight came into view.

There, lying asleep like a doll, was a girl with a small, pale frame—slender arms and legs—but with a chest clearly disproportionate to her petite body.

And she wasn’t wearing any clothes. Not even underwear. She was completely naked.

"Ah… right."

I remembered that yesterday I had started going out with Akeura-san and invited her to my place. So…

"Hm? Senpai…?"

Akeura-san’s eyes fluttered open as she rubbed them. Something—though I won’t say what—shook noticeably.

"Ah, sorry. Did I wake you?"

Huh?

My voice sounded weird. Did I catch a cold?

"No… is it morning already?"

I checked the clock. It was just past 8 a.m.

"Yeah, around 8."

"I see… heh."

Suddenly, Akeura-san smiled at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking… senpai was really cute yesterday."

No, no, you were cuter… Wait, that’s strange…

I remembered pushing her onto the sofa, but I had no memory of what happened after that.

"Is something the matter?"

Perhaps noticing my expression, Akeura-san sat up.

"Was I really that cute yesterday?"

"Yes. Extremely. Making all those noises… hehe."

Making sounds? Me? Isn’t it the other way around? Well, I didn’t really remember…

"I-I see…"

"Ah, are you embarrassed? Geez! So cute!"

She hugged me, her chest pressing against mine. And I… didn’t feel anything!?

Wait! That’s not right! I should be hard by now… but I feel nothing.

I moved Akeura away cautiously and looked down. There was only a faint, subtle bulge where there should have been my Desert Eagle… but it was gone.

"…Huh?"

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

Akeura-san tilted her head.

"Akeura-san, we’ve been going out since yesterday, right?"

"Yes. Did you forget?"

"No, just confirming."

"Yes. You confessed yesterday, I said yes, and you brought me home and pushed me down."

Yeah, that’s correct.

"By the way… am I a boy? Or a girl?"

"Huh? What are you saying?"

"No, just confirming."

"You’re a girl. Definitely. You used to be a boy, but now… a girl."

Was I?

"Huh..um Eh?????"

"Senpai, are you okay? Drank too much? Or overworked and stressed?"

"No, it’s nothing like that…"

"Then you must be half-asleep. It’s a day off today, so let’s go back to sleep."

Akeura-san lay back down, spreading her arms toward me. To my eyes, she looked like a goddess inviting me to her chest.

"Well, whatever! Yay!"

"Geez!"

And so, we went back to sleep.

"…something like that."

I finished my explanation and looked at the three of them.

All three were making somewhat awkward faces.

"Umm, so basically, you woke up one morning and were a girl too, huh?"

The brown-haired ponytailed girl asked, confirming.

"Yeah."

"And your girlfriend reacted normally too, right?"

The blonde, short-haired gal checked next.

"Yeah."

"And then… you’re basically the idiot who likes big boobs, right?"

Finally, the black-haired twin-tail girl, with her weird speech ending, asked.

"Not an idiot, but yeah."

Big boobs are the best.

"I see…"

"So aside from your girlfriend, you’re pretty much like us, huh?"

"Exactly. For us, it was just a 10-second explanation of 'we woke up as girls,' but this guy went on and on."

Well, I mostly just wanted to brag a little.

"So, what’s next?"

"Who knows?"

"Even if you ask me what to do… yeah, I don’t know."

"Don’t know, nya."

Does this gathering even make sense?

After my second nap, Akeura-san had already gone home—she hadn’t brought any clothes—leaving me alone to worry.

Feeling a bit lost, I tweeted on SNS: “Woke up as a girl lol.”

Almost immediately, I started getting messages from others experiencing the same phenomenon.

Those were the three girls. Over the past few months, I’d been communicating with them online, and today we finally met at this family restaurant.

I went through and explained, one by one, what had happened when each of us changed gender.

"I still think this is some kind of prank," I said.
"What kind of prank makes you turn into a girl?"

Fair point.

It’s one thing if everyone around you turned into girls—it could be done with some switch—but yourself? Impossible.

"Hmm… but why is this happening?"

"No idea. For now, just report anything unusual. Also, we should meet regularly."

That had been decided before coming today.

"Sunday works for you guys, right?"

The gal asked to confirm.

"Yeah. Me and Nishino are working adults, and you still have school, right?"

Ah, Nishino—that’s me. Megumi Nishino.

"Yeah, that’s fine. I probably won’t make it before tests, though."

"That’s fine. We might have urgent matters or work come up too."

"Got it."

It was a little surreal hearing these girls talk like guys…

"Well, since today’s just an introduction, shall we call it a wrap, nya?"

This girl’s personality is over the top…

"Yeah, let’s wrap it up. Oh, I’ll pay here."

The brown-haired ponytail girl grabbed the check.

"Ah, I’ll cover it."

I couldn’t let the student gal pay, but I’m a working adult too.

"No problem."

What a nice person.

To be honest, lately my money has been disappearing fast…

…Mostly on love hotel expenses.
