“Oh, are you sure you are finished?” (s.h.i.+ori)

I had just finished dinner and am now drinking tea.

s.h.i.+ori asked me, just as I was just about to thank her for the meal.

If I was still a man, the amount I had eaten wouldn’t have been near enough, but now what I ate was enough to make me uncomfortably full.

“Oh, yes. It was more than enough.” (Kei)

It makes me a little sad that I can’t eat the same amount I used to.

“Dear, such a small girl wouldn't be a big eater.” (s.h.i.+nji)

s.h.i.+nji chides s.h.i.+ori, while looking at me. Is there something to his expression or am I misunderstanding?

“I'm sorry. I think you've mistaken me for Keiichi.” (Kei)

“Well, that's right. If Keiichi were this cute when he was little, he would look a lot like Kei now. [Heh heh].” (s.h.i.+nji)

Oh, I look similar to what I did when I was a child? I never thought of that, I tend to think of myself as a completely different person now.

I wonder what Kaori thinks, so I look at Kaori to ask her and…

…Kaori had stopped in the middle of taking another sip of her tea, in a cold sweat.

“Well, I guess. We are cousins after all. [Heh heh]” (Kei)

I managed to mutter a reply while staring into my teacup.

“Thank you for the meal!” (Kei)

I exclaim loudly, pick up my dishes, and take them to the sink.

“Come on!” (Kaori)

Again, Kaori drags me by my arm to her room on the 2nd floor.

“Do you think they know?” (Kaori)

Kaori may be my childhood friend, but I think I said I haven’t come over here since we entered high school. Her parents are likely worried since they haven’t seen me for a long time.

I think if they question me, I won’t be able to hide who I am.

Well, I don't think I should have to hide my ident.i.ty.

“What is it? I’m just trying to avoid problems.” (Kei)

Kaori seems to think about it, while looking into my eyes.

“It’s not easy to say… right now.” (Kaori)

Kaori says and looks away from me, embarra.s.sed.

More like most people would have a hard time to do so.

Oh, well…This is kinda fun to see her like this.

“I see. Thanks for that.” (Kei)

I stifle a laugh and look at Kaori fondly, although she still won’t look at me.

“Well, I'm not doing it for you.” (Kaori)

Ya. Ya. I have no idea how I can avoid trouble.

I’ve been a girl for more than two weeks now.

I think my situation at school has calmed down. Peace and quiet is much, much better.

After that, Kaori and I continued talking until someone knocked on the door.

“Yes.” (Kaori)

Kaori says while the door is opening at the same time and s.h.i.+ori looks inside. Is it common for mother’s to knock and just open the door without waiting for an answer?

“Kei, the bath is ready, so you two can get in.” (s.h.i.+ori)

“Oh, yes.” (Kei)

I replied without thinking, but a bath with Kaori?

I haven’t taken a bath at Kaori's house since we were in elementary school.

“Kaori you going to join Kei.” (s.h.i.+ori)

“What?!” (Kaori)

Kaori raises a strangled protest to s.h.i.+ori’s statement.

Oh, speaking of, Kaori was the one who taught me how to use rinse and treatment.

Although, I wonder how s.h.i.+ori knows that we have bathed together before.

“Hey! How do you know that?” (Kei)

Did Kaori tell her? Well, she does know basically everything about her daughter.

I wonder if Kaori is going to try to hide herself, but I have seen both of them nude many times.

Forget it.

Thinking about the past, I notice something serious…

...this pattern, don’t tell me she knows who I really am?

“What are you talking about? If you are a girl, you’ve seen everything already, right?” (s.h.i.+ori)

I look back fearfully at the entrance of the room, but there’s only the usual s.h.i.+ori looking at us with an amazed expression.

I still felt somewhat afraid, but this is this and that is that. I’m a girl after all, so I'm sure it won’t matter.

Well, it looks like the decision has been made, so I’m taking a bath.

I take out a change of clothes from my bag and prepare to go to the bath.

“Then we'll have a bath first.” (Kei)

“Please take your time in the bath. Hey, Kaori get moving as well.” (s.h.i.+ori)

s.h.i.+ori says and leaves the room.

The aftermath of her announcement leaves Kaori looking angry and confused and me standing there holding my change of clothes.

“Well, I'll go first.” (Kei)

Even so, Kaori moves reluctantly, as I head off toward the bathroom.
