Chapter 6: Careless“You….. I don’t know where you hear that name, but stop making fun of adults. He’s an important senior to me. I won’t let you use his name to make fun of others.”
Kimura fired a sharp bloodl.u.s.t towards me. Scary. He sure had become strong. I probably can’t win against him anymore.
“Kimura, it’s really me. It’s just that I’m now a high school girl. When you got into a fight with yakuza, didn’t I accompany you to their office to apologize? Do you remember that time that I jumped off from the third floor when they said that was the condition to earn their forgiveness? That sure beat me up. Thankfully I was saved by the electric cable. Ahahaha.
“Afterwards, when I stopped going to the dojo, you came to my house over and over again in order to persuade me to continue doing Karate. I was happy, you know. To tell you the truth I did think to show up my face again. But for some reason I failed to do just that even until I died, pathetic huh? Since I was reborn as this cute girl though, I felt lucky instead.
“You see, wasn’t my previous self ugly, fat, and bald? On top of that, I also had abnormal body odor.”
Kimura stared at me as he opened his mouth, flabbergasted.
“Se-Senpai? Isono-senpai? No, that shouldn’t be…… T-Then, you, do you know what store Senpai often visited with me after training?”
“Hah? Are you talking about Ocean House? Or maybe you’re talking about the b.u.t.t pub (NSFW) that you liked for some time? Which one is it?”
“A-Are you for real…..”
Kimura stepped back unsteadily, his eyes looked around left and right restlessly.
Hihihi. It seems you’re confused now. Well, that’s only natural considering I turned into a cute high school girl from being a middle aged man.
I entered the dojo and sit down cross legged, then ordered Kimura to sit.
Kimura sat hesitantly.
“Kimura, I know you’re surprised, but as you can see I’m doing well one way or another. Anyway, when did you get a girlfriend?”
“T-Two years ago. It’s Secchan from the Ocean House….. B-But are you really Isono-senpai? You’re Isono-senpai for real, right!?”
“Aah? That’s true. It’s me. My appearance is like this though. I even have breast, you know? Are you jealous? Hihihi.”
“Laughing vulgarly like that….. So you’re really Isono-senpai!”
“You, what the heck do you mean with vulgar? Well, it sure isn’t refined though. By the way, do you have a cigarette? With appearance like this, I can’t freely buy one. Even though I already retrieved my TASPO from my room, I feel awkward to buy it openly.”
“Yes! As you wish!”
Kimura took a cigarette and a lighter from his bag at the corner of the dojo.
“Sorry for troubling you. Give me one.”
“Rather than one, please take it all! Everyone said you were dead. Fortunately, we can meet again. I’m truly happy.”
“No, I don’t really understand as well. It seemed to be true that my head was. .h.i.t and I died. The girl I carried when I jumped from the second floor is fine though. My body got weak after that and I lost my consciousness. I don’t really know how, but I’m already in this body when I woke up this morning. She seemed to be a student of Oobori High School.”
“So that’s how it is. But Senpai, what are you going to do from now on? You can’t possibly go back to your previous life with that body, right?”
“Well, resisting won’t get anywhere, so isn’t it better to live once again as a high school girl? And this time, I have this face, you know? No doubt I will be popular. Are you jealous? Hihihi.”
“That’s true. You can choose boyfriend as you like with that face.”
“Hah? Idiot, I don’t swing that way. I will search for a girlfriend. Gi-rl-fri-end. I had never have a girlfriend in 36 years, you know.”
“No, Senpai, that’s impossible. No matter how you see it, you’re a girl.”
“Eh? That’s true, d.a.m.n…..”
I’m an idiot. I’m now a girl. No way I can get a girlfriend. I can’t go out with girls. Even though I already planned to get a girlfriend, go on a date, and doing lewd things. Should I resigned to do those things with boys instead? No, that kind of disgusting thing is out of question.
“Well, isn’t it fine. I’m sure you’ll want to get a boyfriend sooner a later. Rather than that, let’s go drinking today. I’ll also invite Itou.”
“I won’t want that! s.h.i.t, how could this happen. To think I was so happy having this appearance…..”
“Hahaha. Senpai, you forgot you became a girl? That’s just like you.”
“My mind is still that of a man after all. Still, this is bad. I wonder if I’m going to be fine at school. I don’t know much about girls.”
“It’s fine. Just enjoy the life of a high school girl to the fullest.”
“Your att.i.tude sure had changed from earlier, comfortably saying such things. Somehow I feel depressed just thinking about that, you know.”
“Well then, I better call the others immediately.”
I still don’t know how things work in the Oono family, going out at night would probably be bad.
I want to investigate the situation a bit more.
“No, this is it for today. I still don’t know how things work in this girl’s family. Also, please keep the matter of me being like this from other people.”
“Eh? I can’t even talk about it with the instructor? He felt really sad when you died, you know. I want to tell him that you’re fine.”
“Well, I will go meet him eventually. I will surprise him just like you. Hihihi.”
“Senpai sure is mischievous. I’ll keep quiet then. But please go to the dojo, I feel lonely if I don’t get to meet you, Senpai.”
“Hahaha. Keep the flattery for yourself. But well, I’ll join the dojo then. It’s fine for me to enter the woman division, right? However, I can’t get my arms to be muscular. I don’t really understand, but there’s still a possibility of this girl going back to her body. That’s why it would be bad if her body is messed up when that does happen, so I’m going to live just like her as much as possible.”
Kimura said yes but his expression turned bitter.
“Does that mean Senpai’s going to die again? I don’t like that…..”
“In any case, since I don’t know why I got to be this way I also don’t know whether I would change back or not. I think nothing will happen for now. Please take care of me. By the way, finally I get to smoke, it sure feel good.”
I blew some smoke to the air, “Fuh.”
Somehow my throat felt ticklish, it was like the first time I smoke.
“Senpai, don’t you think smoking is bad for a high school girl? If the school find out, aren’t you going to be suspended?”
“Ah? Right. That’s true. It’s bad for a high school girl to smoke. s.h.i.t. So no smoking for now, huh.”
I pressed the cigarette to the ashtray, and the fire vanished.
Smoking after a meal feels the best though…..
Still, there is no choice but to endure.
“Senpai, please give your phone number.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
I took out my cellphone and gave Kimura my number.
“Who’s supervising the woman division now?”
“It’s me. So it’s easy for us to meet.”
Kimura grasped my hand.
So he missed me that much. I didn’t know that.
“Whoa! It’s so soft! Senpai’s hand is really the best!”
“Idiot, don’t touch me. I’ll get defiled.”
I went down the stairs with Kimura after saying I want to go to the reception desk in the first floor. A guy who was going up to the second floor looked away in surprise when he saw me.
What’s with him? Am I strange in some way?
As if he could read my mind, Kimura whispered to me when we arrived at the first floor.
“Senpai, your skirt, your skirt. People can see your underwear.”
I checked my skirt.
Indeed, people can see my underwear if they look from below.
“I see. I wonder why women like to be this defenseless? I can even feel the wind pa.s.ses through my groin.”
“Isn’t it because of that fashion thing? Senpai, since you have become a girl, you should get used to it.”
“Humph. That’s how it is huh…..”
Once we arrived at the reception desk, Kimura opened the door beside the office and went in.
Then a female clerk appeared from inside.
Uwaah….. This woman, she called me ugly in my previous life.
I don’t really want to meet her.
Wearing a gla.s.ses, the plump miss Inoue came to the reception desk and handed me the application form with one hand.
“Oh, what a lovely young lady! You are interested in Karate? That’s great. It’s good for your body. Here is the application form. Are you in high school? We need the approval of your parents in that case.”
Ooh. Miss Inoue who was always scowling actually smiled.
As I thought, people’s att.i.tude differs based on your appearance.
“Thank you for your help. I will bring the approval tomorrow.”
When I walked towards the entry hall, Kimura patted me all of the sudden.
“Senpai, you don’t have a Karate uniform, right? I heard from the woman division girls that they have some extra uniform.”
“I see. Right, my size is completely different now. It seems I have to depend on you.”
“Yes. Just leave it to me.”
“Then, see you later.”
I hopped onto the bicycle I parked in front of the building.
The guys around me all sneaked a peek.
Somehow, after becoming a high school girl, I knew when guys are staring at me.
If that’s the case, then when I did just that on the road or in the train, they also knew, huh……
I pa.s.sed the apartment where I lived when I was a man and saw my beloved car in the parking lot.
It’s been 5 years since I bought it second hand, but I didn’t get many chance to ride it.
I’m sure my brother is going to sell it.
It’s going to be end up on someone who’ll cherish it more than me.
I felt a bit lonely on the way home.
The longest chapter so far. Reading it may only take 5 minutes, but translating it sure feels endless.
With how much Kimura said ‘senpai’, I couldn’t help but to imagine him as Iroha-ssu instead. Seriously though, is he even really a guy?
And I’m actually really against smoking from the bottom of my heart. If any of you ever get reincarnated as a bishoujo, please don’t smoke. Or more like, just don’t smoke. Not now, not ever.
