Chapter 2: Waking up as a beautyWhen I opened my eyes, I was lying on a bed.
Is this a hospital bed?
There was a white, lifeless ceiling. And a curtain rail was surrounding the bed.
When I raised the upper half of my body, a woman with curled hair hugged me.
“Nacchan! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!”
Her age was around the same with me. Being hit by her breast felt good.
Huh? Somehow I felt strange. Was my body always this thin?
On the side of the bed, there was a man with gla.s.ses.
He smiled at me.
He was older than me, around 40 years old? He gave off an intellectual, reliable impression.
“Natsumi! You finally wake up! Otou-san was so worried!”
Nacchan? Natsumi?
Why is these people calling me that?
“Err, just wait a…”
I got surprised at my voice. What’s with this high voice?
I looked at myself.
White hands and slender fingers. And also, I had breast?
I checked my nether region.
The thing that should be there was not there.
I was shocked and put my hand inside the girl underwear. It’s not there!?
My partner of 36 years disappeared!
My junior who never experienced s.e.x and was only used for peeing or masturbating wasn’t there!
What the h.e.l.l is this…..
If it’s like this, I don’t think I can go on entertain myself with soap anymore…..
The woman spoke at my surprised self.
“Nacchan, you had an accident on the way home from school. You had been unconscious for one week already. Okaa-san was really worried, what should I do if you never open your eyes again? Thank goodness you are awake now….”
As she said that, the woman hugged me again.
Mmm. She smells nice.
No, wait.
I have to confirm the situation for now.
“Um, what date is it now?”
“Nn? It’s January 16th. In any case, thank goodness. You don’t have to worry about anything now, just rest peacefully. Otou-san have to go to work now.”
“Eh? T-Take care on the way.”
The day I saved a girl from the blazing house, if I remember correctly was January 9th.
So it has been one week since then, huh?
In that case, what about my previous body?
Moreover, I was supposed to give a presentation about a project the next day.
My promotion depended upon that presentation.
“O-Okaa-san, I want to go to the toilet for a bit.”
“Is that so? Are you fine by yourself? Should Okaa-san accompany you?”
“No, it’s fine.”
There was a cellphone beside the bed.
I took it and showed it to the woman.
“Is this mine?”
“That is right. It is your cellphone.”
“Okay. I’m off then.”
I exited the hospital room and walk towards the toilet.
When I saw myself at the mirror, I was astonished.
What was reflected was a beauty with shoulder-long hair and round eyes.
Her age was around sixteen or seventeen.
She looked like the teenage version of Miyazawa Rie.
“Uwaa~ So cute~”
I tried to turn around in front of the mirror.
The beauty inside the mirror also turned around.
Wait wait. I didn’t come here to do stuff like this.
Does me entering this girl body, means that this girl entered my body?
To start with, I will call my company.
My first priority is to get information about what happened to my body.
I entered the phone number of the person on duty and pressed the call b.u.t.ton.
“This is Nakazono Industry’s first sales department, can I help you?”
The one who answered was an intern whose name was Kawano Eiko.
She was a girl with fluffy eyes who made unpleasant expressions even when just asking me to copy something.
“Err, can I talk with Isono Tadashi-san?”
A few seconds of silence ensued. What’s with this odd pause?
This Kawano Eiko should be able to do something like receiving calls easily.
“Isono pa.s.sed away a few days ago…..”
“Eh? What do you mean by that?”
“I don’t really know the details….. Let me get the person who knows.”
I died? If I’m not mistaken, I jumped from the second floor while carrying a child, and then my head was. .h.i.t by a debris from the collapsing building. Did I really die from that?
“h.e.l.lo, my name is Kuraki, I heard you need to talk to me. Pardon for my rudeness, but may I inquire your name?”
Ooh, Kuraki! My subordinate like you will certainly speak the truth about me. You won’t say ridiculous things like that Kawano Eiko, right?
“Umm, my name is Suzuki. Isono-san helped me greatly before and gave me his company’s phone number.”
“So that’s how it is. It’s because Isono-san had a strong sense of justice….. Did you know him from the fire that happened in the East Ward the other day? Isono didn’t manage to escape with his life after saving a five year old girl. He jumped from the second floor and his head got hit by the debris. That hit was what ended his life. It was a great loss for us all.”
“I-Is that so? Thank you very much for telling me…..”
I hung up the phone and just stood still, dumbfounded.
So I died…..
I can’t go back to that body anymore.
Even though I still have many things that I wanted to do.
No, wait. Many things that I wanted to do?
Myself who was bald, fat, ugly, never have any relationship with a woman, and don’t have anything else to do aside from commuting between home and work?
Myself who never experienced anything good in his whole life.
My ugly self who always failed to have a relationship.
I looked at the mirror once again. The beauty was looking at me.
Right. This must be the chance that G.o.d has granted to me!
If I have a nice face, my life would be better!
That’s it. That must be the case!
Moreover, this kind of beauty can surely choose her partner according to her liking!
A beautiful girl who is envied by the neighborhood and wanted by every man!
Even at work, she will certainly make the customer’s heart pounding!
Now if I get on a train, there is no way I will get mistaken as a molester again!
I won’t get mistaken as the criminal if I caught a thief as well!
Also, women won’t leave by saying she has an errand ten minutes after introduction!
Uhahahaha! I will do it! I will do it!
I will enjoy my second life!
I will make full use of this cute face!
Just as I thought that, I was a.s.saulted by the urge to urinate.
I stood at the urinal and lowered my pants, but when I opened my underwear there was nothing.
That’s right. I’m a girl now. So I had no choice but to sit, huh.
At the same time I was walking towards the stall, an old man entered the toilet and yelled immediately upon seeing me.
“You, you! This is male toilet! The female one is over there, there!”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
I exited the male toilet and entered the female toilet.
It sure feels odd.
Well, I will get used to it.
I sat inside the stall and did my business.
I felt strange somehow. It was like something escaped right from the inside of my body.
When I stood up, the underwear I was wearing got wet.
Uwaa. So gross. What the heck is this?
I took the toilet paper and wipe my nether region.
Right. I have to keep in mind the inconveniences of being a woman.
Moreover, though I can’t see it from above, this area is also very soft.
Afterwards, I stood in front of the mirror and fix myself carefully.
For now, I will go back to the hospital room.
I’m not really sure about that part with the soap, but it wasn’t important anyway.
Her mother sure is carefree, letting someone who just woke up from a coma going outside by herself.
Also, j.a.panese hospital doesn’t have bathroom inside the room? How the heck do the patient bath then…..
