When I Became a Girl, an Unexpected Love Quarrel Occurred!

Waking Up from a Dream to Find Heaven and Hell Waiting for Me

“Huh?”

I looked around and tilted my head.

For some reason, I was standing on the road. And I’m wearing a uniform.

What’s going on here?

I should have been in the living room of Yurizono-san’s house.

Alice and Yurizono-san had gone to take a bath, and I was waiting in the living room with Iris-san.

When they came back, I would have to take a bath with Iris-san.

Cornered, I decided to run away.

When I say escape, I don’t mean to run away from Yurizono-san’s house.

While chatting with Iris-san, I pretended to be sleepy by biting down on a yawn and rubbing my eyes with my fingers.

Then I leaned back on the sofa I was sitting on and pretended to be asleep.

In short, I decided to pretend to be asleep and run away.

And… 

I looked up and saw a blue sky even though it was supposed to be night.

I’m standing in the middle of the road wearing my school uniform, and my memory of what had happened before was completely gone.

“This happened before.”

It’s just like when I had a dream about myself as a man.

So this is a dream.

I was pretending to be asleep, but it seems that I fell asleep.

But that’s not right.

This is not how dreams are supposed to be.

How can I be aware of a dream as a dream, and clearly remember what happened before I fell asleep, and even the contents of my last dream?

That’s not――.

“It’s not like a dream.”

I muttered, looking around.

If this is not a dream, then what is it?

And there, I saw a kindergartener walking toward me, led by a nursery school teacher.

Soon, the queue reached me.

“Good morning.”

I smiled and waved my hand in greeting.

“I want strawberries.”

“I want to eat.”

“Yes, I want to eat.”

“I want a bowl of melon.”

“You can’t read the air, can you?”

“Ryota-kun, can’t read the atmosphere.”

The kindergarteners were not responding to my greeting but were having a cute conversation in their young voices, and the teacher is giggling happily as she listened to their conversation.

It was strange that the kindergarteners and the teacher would ignore someone who greeted them.

Even if they were ignoring me, it was impossible for them to not respond to me.

It’s not that they ignored me. It’s that they can’t see me.

It’s like the last dream.

No, is this a dream in the first place?

What if it’s not a dream?

“This is the world where I was a man, and now I’m just a soul… or something?”

Hmmm, I wonder if that’s possible.

I don’t even know if there is such a thing as a soul.

But I was supposed to be a man, and now I’m a woman.

When I think about it, I can’t deny all unrealistic phenomena.

Anyway――.

“Last time it was my room, so why the road this time?”

Then I realized something.

This is the road I always take to school.

So that means if I wait here, the guy me and Alice will come walking.

“No.”

A line of kindergarteners passed right in front of me just now.

I tried to check the time on my phone, but I didn’t have one.

But since it’s the time for kindergarteners to go to school, the boys, me and Alice, should already be at school.

I don’t know how long this dream will last, but I’m going to go to school anyway.

So I started walking towards the school.

◆

It was very quiet in the school.

I guess class has already started.

They can’t see me, there’s no need to sneak around, but I’m walking around as if hiding myself.

I arrived at my classroom and peeked inside through the glass window attached to the door.

“There he was.”

There I was, sitting in my seat, taking the class seriously.

It felt strange to see myself like this.

“So, what am I supposed to do?”

I don’t think there’s any point in continuing to look at me as a man taking a class.

“Ah, right.”

I muttered and walked away from the door and headed for a place.

I arrived at Yurizono-san’s class.

In my female world, Yurizono-san is a troublemaker, but when I was a man, I had never heard of her.

She is one of the two most beautiful girls, and her title is Youngest Princess.

(TN: Youngest Princess (深窓姫), comment if u have better ones.)

No matter how outstanding a beautiful girl she is, it’s strange that a troublemaker would have such a ladylike name as Youngest Princess.

In fact, in my world, where I’m a woman, Yurizono-san doesn’t have a title like Youngest Princess.

So there might be a difference between the Yurizono-san of the other side and the Yurizono-san of this side.

That’s what I thought, so I came to see Yurizono-san.

“Oh, there she is.”

I peeked inside through the glass window attached to the door and found her right away.

Her silver hair stood out amid all the black hair.

Yurizono-san, who was running her pen over her notebook with a slightly downcast look on her face, occasionally raised her head to look at the blackboard.

“Oh, you seem to be studying seriously.”

I can’t believe that Yurizono-san has such a serious face.

“I didn’t know Yurizono-san was so beautiful.”

Yurizono-san with a serious face is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s no wonder she’s called the “Youngest Princess”

Come to think of it…

“What kind of relationship does the Alice over here have with Yurizono-san?”

When I was a man, I never once heard Alice talk about Yurizono-san, and I never once saw her and Yurizono-san talking.

“I’m not sure if the Yurizono-san over here has anything to do with Alice…”

If there is no relationship between Alice and Yurizono-san, then what is the environment that Yurizono-san is in?

Of course, Yurizono-san over here has nothing to do with me as a man.

She also has nothing to do with Alice.

If that’s the case, then she has nothing to do with Takanashi-san, Kiniwa-san, or Yanomiya-san.

And if we don’t go camping together, I won’t be able to get to know Iris-san.

In other words, Yurizono-san here is all alone.

I can’t believe that Yurizono-san, who is so cheerful, energetic, and always seems to be having fun, is all alone.

She messes with Alice a lot, and Alice gets mad at her and beats her to a pulp, and yet she is so happy to be bothered.

Yurizono-san is a lonely person.

And yet, if things continue as they are, Yurizono-san will never be able to get to know Iris-san, she will never have friends, and she will always be alone.

I know it’s none of my business, but I can’t leave her like this.

I’ve come to know the real Yurizono-san.

“That’s right.”

That guy knows the real Yurizono-san.

That’s what I thought, and I hurried to my classroom.

◆

The class was over, and the hallway became noisy.

However――.

“What should I do…?”

I muttered to myself as I look the seat beside me, a man preparing for his next class, hands clenched.

No matter how much I shouted, my voice would never reach him.

This guy can rescue Yurizono-san from her lonely world, but I can’t tell him that.

I was lonely too, but I had Alice. Yurizono-san also has an older sister named Iris-san, but they are still at odds in this world.

Now Yurizono-san is all alone. I can’t imagine how painful that is.

“Hey, Minazuki Amane. Do you think that Yurizono-san is a troublesome nuisance? Are you relieved that the relationship is over?”

The male me did not respond to my question.

“You know her. You know the real Yurizono-san, the lonely, lovely, and kind girl. Such a child is crying alone in the dark. Are you going to leave her alone? If you are going to do that, onii-chan will get angry.”

I said this and tried to grab him by the chest.

But my hand slipped through in vain.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Then, the classroom, which had been reasonably noisy, suddenly became quiet.

I looked around, wondering what was going on, and saw something in my field of vision.

“Hmph!”

Standing at the entrance of the classroom, Alice crosses her arms and sniffles.

I wondered if the classroom had quieted down because of Alice’s arrival.

When I was a guy, Alice never tried to get involved with me at school.

But now that she’s in my classroom, I guess everyone is surprised.

“Alice-chan. Ya-hoo!”

I, the man who noticed her, smiled and called out to her.

The classroom was abuzz.

What’s that “Ya-hoo!”. My character has completely collapsed, you know. You should try to act like me a little bit.

“Kuu.”

Alice, who groaned, glared at me as a man. Alice’s face turns red as soon as she sees it.

“Who are you?”

Alice, shouting angrily, came zipping into the classroom.

Tension runs through the quiet classroom.

The Alice over here, she’s supposed to be a cat, playing the role of the ideal beautiful girl. That Alice is furious. It’s no wonder everyone is confused.

(TN: Not sure what the “cat” means.)

“Why did you come to school alone?”

She walked up to me, a man, and banging my desk, raising her voice.

“I was on duty.”

I smiled at her.

When Alice saw this, a vein snapped up at her temple.

“Why didn’t you call out to me!”

Alice banging on my desk.

“I thought you might get angry if I approached you.”

I, a man, replied to the angry Alice with a smiling face.

When Alice heard my answer, more blood vessels appeared on her temples.

“I’m angry! I’ll be angry, but you have to speak to me! Be prepared for me to be mad at you, but call out to me!”

Alice is showing her selfishness as she bangs on my desk.

But to expose her true nature in a classroom, in front of a crowd of students?

The other side, Alice, has undergone a major change when her onee-chan became me.

With the change in what’s inside of me as a man, is there a big change happening to Alice over here?

“Haha. You must have been lonely because onii-chan left you. You’re so cute, Alice-chan.”

I’m the guy who’s laughing and smiling, and I’ve said the thing I shouldn’t have said.

“Oh, my God, you…”

I think what I said as a man is right.

The reason Alice is furious. It must have been sad that I, a man, didn’t talk to Alice and went to school quickly by myself.

But you can’t say that. Alice’s personality makes it clear that she loses her temper.

And yet…

“A-Apologize. I’m not going to say anything bad, so apologize. Or she’ll really kill you.”

I told the man me, breaking out in a cold sweat, but unfortunately, my voice didn’t reach him.

I looked at Alice impatiently and saw that she was trembling with a fiery red face as she stared at me, the man.

You’re a man, so prepare yourself.

It’s an exaggeration to say you’ll be killed, but you’ll be half killed.

“What the hell… is this?”

Alice opened her mouth. Her voice was faint and trembling.

Her blue eyes stared at me, a man. Tears pooled in the corners of her eyes.

She raised her hands and covered her face with them.

I could hear her sobbing faintly.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking. Just when I think he’s starting to look out for me, he leaves me. I don’t know what you’re thinking, onii-chan…”

Covering her face with both hands, Alice let out a shaky sobbing voice, turned on her heel, and began to limp away.

Then she just walked out of the classroom.

I thought she was going to get mad, but she didn’t.

Her onii-chan attitude suddenly changed, and she was confused. But I’m sure she was happy about it. But she was left behind by me, the man, and she didn’t know what was going on.

When he saw, the man, he was puzzled.

He looks as if he is never expecting Alice to cry.

“Do I have to chase after her?”

That’s what the man me asked.

You may think that Alice is alien to you.

But to leave your sister alone when she cries?

You are the same as me, aren’t you?

If that’s the case――.

“A-Alice-chan!”

I, a puzzled man, huffed and paled instantly, and stood up vigorously. And then I ran out.

“Whoa!”

My legs got tangled up, and I fell with great force.

“I’m sorry, Alice-chan! I didn’t mean to make you cry!”

The man who fell, I stood up, screaming, without showing any sign of pain. I then ran out of the classroom after Alice.

“That’s all I need.”

I would have blown him off if he would have left the crying Alice alone.

Well, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.

I was about to leave the classroom, following the man me, when I had that thought in my gaze.

“Whoa!”

“Gyaa!”

I heard two voices coming from the hallway.

I think one is my voice as a man.

The other was――

“Yurizono-san?”

The girl’s scream that I heard sounded like Yurizono-san’s voice.

When I ran out of the classroom, I found myself lying on the floor in the hallway. Yurizono-san was lying on her butt beside me as a man.

It seems that the male me ran out of the classroom with great force and bumped into Yurizono-san who was just passing by.

“A-Are you okay?”

Yurizono-san frowns and talks to me as a man, perhaps because my hips hurt.

It was me, the man, who was at fault, given the circumstances. And yet, she’s worried about me, a man.

“You’re a good kid at heart, aren’t you, Yurizono-san?”

He nodded his head, muttering to himself.

I don’t know much about this Yurizono-san, but I can tell you that both of them are good girls at heart.

“Alice-chan!”

I, the man who was lying prostrate in the hallway, looked up with a shout.

“Y-Yes!”

A jittery and shaken Yurizono-san replies.

As a man, I would have shouted out Alice’s name, but Yurizono-san’s name is also Arisu. For Yurizono-san, she must have thought I was shouting her name.

“Eh? Arisu-chan!?”

When I heard Yurizono-san reply, I, the man who saw her, shouted in surprise.

“Eh? Oh, yes.”

Her red eyes were black and white as she nodded her head.

He seemed surprised and confused when he called her name and replied.

“Just what I needed! Alice-chan is in trouble!”

“Eh? Trouble? Me? I’m not in any trouble…”

Yurizono-san, who looks confused, replies to my words as a man.

Calm down, male me. Yurizono-san is in trouble.

I mean, it’s an amazing situation that I’m annoying Yurizono-san. It’s refreshing because it’s usually the other way around.

“It’s not Arisu-chan, it’s Alice-chan!”

“So, Arisu is me, what is it?”

Yurizono-san tilted her head back at my words as a man.

Because the man me in a hurry, what he’s saying isn’t getting through to Yurizono-san at all.

“Oh my god!”

Numbly, I, a man, grabbed Yurizono-san’s hand tightly.

“Eh? Wait!”

He suddenly grabbed her hand, and her face turned red as she opened her eyes in surprise.

I didn’t know that Yurizono-san would turn red just because she held my hand.

“You’re Alice-chan best friend, aren’t you? Lend me your strength!”

I’m the guy who stands up while pulling Yurizono’s hand saying that.

“Eh? I don’t know what’s going――Hya!.”

Yurizono-san screamed when he was forced to stand up by me as a man.

“Don’t worry if you don’t understand. You and Alice-chan are good together, so you’ll soon get along! So follow me!”

“Hyaaaaaaaaaa!”

I’m the guy who runs out screaming, and Yurizono-san is dragged away screaming.

“I wonder if she’s okay…”

They can’t see me, and they can’t hear me. So I can’t do anything. But I was worried, so I decided to go after them.

That’s what I thought, and just when I was about to go out――.

“Minazuki-kun made Alice-chan cry and took Yurizono-san away…”

When I turned my head to look at the voice I heard, I saw Takanashi-san standing at the entrance of the classroom.

“Minazuki-kun, he’s holding Yurizono-san’s hand.”

Kiniwa-san, who stood next to Takanashi-san, muttered with a smile. Takanashi-san shivered when she heard the murmur.

“Rin-chan, you’re a little curious about Minazuki-kun, aren’t you?”

“Y-Yes!?”

Takanashi-san, whose cheeks had turned red at Kiniwa-san’s words, raised her voice as if to cover it up.

What? Takanashi-san was concerned about me as a man? Seriously?

“Minazuki-kun seems kind, doesn’t he? I’m sure he’ll be able to accept all of Rin-chan insecurities.”

“I-I don’t deny that he seemed nice, but I wasn’t really paying attention to him…”

The grinning Kiniwa-san poked Takanashi-san with her elbow and raised her voice, while Takanashi-san, who was being poked, turned red and mumbled.

Takanashi-san’s reaction is…

I can’t believe she really cared about me.

I knew that Takanashi-san wouldn’t hate me because of her personality, but I thought she didn’t care about me.

But I didn’t expect that――.

“Ahhhhhh! I should have called out to him! Ahhhh!”

I couldn’t help but hold my head and scream.

“Rin-chan, if you’re going to move, the sooner the better. The other party is Yurizono-san, it’s really bad, and if you don’t do something about it as soon as possible, it might be too late.”

To Kiniwa-san’s words, Takanashi-san did not answer.

“Well, it’s none of my business if it’s too late!” I was expecting her to say that, but she didn’t deny it.

“It looks kind of interesting!”

Yanomiya-san suddenly appeared beside Takanashi-san who was standing there.

Huh, Yonomiya-san is as cute as ever.

“Kuu-chan, come here. I’ll stroke your head.”

I crouched down on the spot, opened my arms, and called out to her.

However, Yanomiya-san didn’t respond to me.

Normally, she would run up to me with great joy and pat me on the back.

It’s sad.

“I’m going to go check it out!”

Yanomiya-san said and ran off.

“So, Sora!”

Takanashi-san shouted at Yonomiya-san as she ran down the corridor, and looked at Kiniwa-san with a bright red face.

“I-I’m going because I don’t want Sora to get in trouble!”

Takanashi-san, who had told Kiniwa-san that, ran out.

“I never thought that Yurizono-san would get involved. The other party is indeed bad, but I’m sure Rin-chan will be able to…”

Kiniwa-san muttered to herself as she stared at the back of Takanashi-san as she ran off, chasing her.

“I want to support Takanashi-san, too.”

For me, Takanashi-san is a prize beyond one’s reach

She was beautiful and cute, and although she seemed a bit strong-willed, she’s actually very kind.

I’ve been interested in Takanashi-san ever since I first saw her when I entered high school. But I thought I wouldn’t get involved with her until I graduated because I’m a loner.

“Attention, man me! This is your chance to make friends with that Takanashi-san!”

I shouted and ran off as fast as I could.

◆

“Come on, come on, come on!”

“Kyaaaaa!”

I screamed as I ran down the hallway as fast as I could, and then I heard a scream right next to me.

“A-Are you okay?”

I heard a voice.

I opened my eyes and saw Yurizono-san face right beside me.

No, no. It’s a more mature face than Yurizono-san.

“… Iris-san?”

The person in my vision is Iris-san. And we are at… 

“You were sleeping comfortably, but suddenly started to feel sick. Did you have a terrible dream?”

When Iris-san asked me about it, I finally understood the situation.

I think I was sleeping. It seems that I was sleeping on Iris-san lap.

So, was what I just saw a dream?

But I remember it clearly from beginning to end.

I can’t believe it was a dream.

But I was asleep, and now I’m awake, so that means it was a dream after all.

Even if it was just a dream, I’m curious about the rest of the story.

I wonder if the male me and Alice were able to make up after that. What happened to Yurizono-san? And Takanashi-san… 

I’ve been wanting to meet Takanashi-san for some time now.

“Have you calmed down?”

I huffed at the voice I heard and looked at Iris-san.

“Ah, yes, I’m fine now. I’m sorry for making you worry.”

I apologized as I used Iris-san’s lap as a pillow. Then a miffed Iris-san poked my forehead with her finger.

“You promised to be my onee-chan when we’re alone, right?”

Hearing Iris-san’s words, I noticed that Alice and Yurizono-san were nowhere to be found.

“Where are those two?”

I ask Iris-san as I sit up.

“They’re asleep.”

While listening to Iris-san’s answer, I looked at the clock on the wall.

It was half-past one in the morning.

It was probably around eight o’clock when I fell asleep, so I must have slept a lot.

“Now that Amane-onee-chan is awake, let’s take a bath.”

“What?”

Bath? A Bath…

“You’re not in yet?”

“Yes! Of course!”

Iris-san nodded loudly at my question with a big smile on her face.

Of course, you mean…

I thought I had successfully avoided it, but I hadn’t.

I mean, bathing alone with her in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep just made the situation worse… 

After that, I had to go through the heavenly hell of washing myself with Iris-san in the bath in the middle of the night.
