Chapter 8 [A Man? Woman? ~The Changing Ones~]

<<nothing interesting>>

p1
Golden Darkness
//It seems she is trying to lead Mea down the path of being "human"...
Are these... sisterly feelings?
//It's something useless to a weapon
left: The abyss in Mea's soul that Master speaks to...

p2
Still, those feelings can be used
Based on what has happened so far, I understand it well... Our methods need to change...

p3
Golden Darkness doesn't know
The depth of the darkness that dwells inside Mea...

4
p1
If she continues associating with Mea, she will have no choice but to realize
That no matter how much she aspires to be "human"
She can't fight off her destiny as a "weapon"

p2
When she...
//When Golden Darkness accepts it
The path to the "darkness" of her transform ability will open...

p1
Morning!
Yami-san ♫

p2
Good morning
Kurosaki Mea

p3
Why, Mea, have you become friendly with Yami all of a sudden?
mea: Right, we're fellow transfer students!

p4

6
p1
Mea-san...
Lately, she's been able to talk normally to other students in the class besides Nana
//Before, she seemed to have no interest in this at all. Is this the effect Yami-san's words had on her?

p2
If you see her like this, she looks just like a normal Earth girl
But...

p3
The blood lust at that moment...
flashback: I must // Save Nana-chan
Even if it was to save Nana, she tried to annihilate a truck a person was riding in...

7
p1
In the end... I can't let my guard down...

p2
Momo-chan ♥ How about some karaoke today?
nb: So cute--- ♥
momo: Eh!

p3
Uwah, how annoying!
nb: Uh... Err...
I'm just too embarrassed to sing in front of boys~~~

p4/5

p1
Muhyooo---!
I got Run-chan's swimsuit poster---!!!

p2
I'm going back to my office to thoroughly enjoy it!!
If I look at it with my heart's eyes, it's as if she's not wearing a swimsuit ♥

p3
Hyahooo!

9
p1
mea: Run?
nana: Why, you don't know, Mea?
//nana: Run is a student in this school, and also a famous idol!

p2
haruna: And Lala-san's childhood friend besides
mea: Eh! So that means she's an alien!?

p3
Yes! She's from the royal family of planet Memorze
//If you look at her, you'd think she's one person, but she's actually twins
She's a rare species who changes between female Run and male Ren after every sneeze!

10
p1
Changes between man and woman?
//How's that?

p2
lala: Hehe--- That's~~~
nana: Big Sis!

p3
lala: Ritooo!
rito: Hmm?

p4
Koro-koro Danjo-kun!!
tl note: Danjo means male/female

11
p1
Wah!
Rito-senpai turned into a girl!?

p2
lala: With a pop, he turns just like this!
mea nb: Boobies!!
rito: Look now---!

12
p1
rito: Don't suddenly turn me into a girl just for the sake of an illustration!!
nana: Her chest is huge...
haruna: So cute...
lala: Ahaha, I'll turn you back right now~~

p2
...Huh?
sfx: clack x2

p3
nb: Tehee
Sorry!
It looks like Koro-koro Danjo-kun has run out of power!

p4
Y...
//You~~~

p5
But it's okay! You'll turn back into a man naturally after some time

13
p1
rito: If... If someone like Saruyama sees me while I look like this...
saru: Hey, Lala-chan! Have you seen Rito!?

p2

p3
saru: Ri... Riko-chan!? What are you doing in our school!!?
mea: Ah
rito: You've got the wrong person!!

p4
Please wait for me, Senpai!

p5
Hold on... Mea!? Wait!?

14
p1
Sairenji-san

p2
Have you seen Lala-san and Yuuki-kun?
It seems that even their bags aren't here

p3
haruna: Uh... Something came up, so they had to leave early today...
yui: Leave early!? Why...?

15
p1
Maybe they eloped~~~

p2
yui: Wha- wha- wha- eloped!?
risa?: Ahaha Yui, you're getting too agitated~~~

p3
haruna: I wish I skipped school too...
yui?: Those two would never do such a thing
haruna?: Oh come on~~!
haruna: Maaan~~~ Why would you act so seriously at a time like this...?

p4

16
p1/2
mikan: So... I understand that you left school early and came home
mikan: But what's with the outfit?
rito: Lala forced me to wear this!!

p3
lala: Ehehe--- It's just that Mea-chan said she wanted to see the cute side of Riko-chan ♫
mikan: Mea?

17
p1

p2
mea: Your boobies are so big, Senpaaai---- ♥
sfx: fondle x2
rito: C... Come on, stop fondling my breasts~~~

p3
mea: Eh~~~ Why not~~~
sfx: fondle x7
mikan: ...
rito: Uh...mmm
//rito: Sto-...

18
p1
mikan: Who is that?
rito: Uh... Yeah, she just tagged along...

p2
nana: She's my friend!
//nana: Her name's Kurosaki Mea!
mikan: Nana-san's?

p3
mea: You're so cute, Senpai
mea: I'm going to lickity-lick you ♥
rito: Hold-

19
p1
rito: Come on, don't lick me, seriously~~~
mea: Mmm, salty ♥
mikan: Somehow, there's another weird person around Rito now...

p2
nana: H... Hey, Mea! What are you doing with a beast like him!?
momo: This is how you clear this stage
celine: Mau-
lala: Ahaha, what an interesting girl she is--- Mea-chan ♫

p3

p4
mikan?: Mea-san, would you like coffee, or maybe tea?
mea: Ah! I'll have tea!

20
p1

p2
Ehehe-

p3
nana: Gegeh... Are you going to drink it like that, Mea?
mea: Yep. I have a sweet tooth.

p4
celine: Mau---!
mea: Oh my! You want to drink too? Alright

p5
H... Hey, are you going to be alright, Celine!?

21
p1
celine: MAU---!!
rito: Buwah---!

p2
Ri... Rito!?

p3

22
p1
Whoa... Sorry
Are you alright, Nana!?

p2

p3
nana: What are you insinuating about me---!!!?
rito: Wah! That's not what I meant!

23
p1

p2
Rito's Room

p3
Haa...

p4
Because of Mea's tea, my body and my clothes are all sticky now
//Well, I'm not going to wear this forever, so I'd better change...

p5/6
Where do I start undoing this from...?
That Lala! Making me wear something so complicated...

24
p1/2

p3
Ca... Calm down
It's my own body after all...!

p4

25
p1

p2
I've turned into a girl many times, but I just can't get used to it
Like it's not me

p3
I wonder if this is what Nana yearns for
But somehow they're heavy and look like they'll get in the way...

26
p1
Do you have a deep fascination with the female body?
It's a good thing, Rito-san ♥

p2
!!
Momo!
Kn... Knock when you enter someone's room!!

p3
Huhu ♥

27
p1
Even if it's not exactly your own body, if you just ask, I'll show you mine

p2
Any...
Part of me you wish... ♥

p3
momo: It'll be embarrassing, but I'll bear it ♥
rito: N... No, I didn't ask for something like that...

28
p1
momo: You're so cute ♥
rito: Heh!

p2
If it's you, Rito-san, even in a female body
You might make me come...

p3
rito: B...
//rito: By the way, where's Mea!?
momo: She went home

p4
Heh

29
p1
After you left, Nana showed her around our living space, and she went home right after
"Say hello to Rito-senpai" she said

p2
I... I see

p3/4

p5
What do you think?

30
p1
She even came to our house
What was she after?

p2
Mmm...
She just
She wanted to see our house...
That's all...?

p3
There's that possibility too...
//But something still bugs me
!...

31
p1
Why did...
She become so friendly toward you, Rito-san?

p2/3
Now that I think of it, she was like that from the start
But in her position, I expect it wouldn't be strange if she saw Yami-san's target as an "enemy"...

32
p1
Ha...
Mmm...
Fu...
rito: Mo... Momo, what are you d...
momo: Eh?

p2
Ahhh...
//Since we have this rare chance, why don't I teach you
The secrets of a girl's body... ♥

33
p1/2
As the king of a harem
It wouldn't hurt you to know that... ♥

p3
!!?

p4
Fuah!?
//Wai- Momo...
Tha...
momo: Uhuhu ♥ Please stay still

34
p1
Heeeh
So this is the real Momo-chan ♫

p2

35
p1/2
Huhuhu
The tactic of pretending to go home has been a big success!

p3/4
I knew it, the two of you have realized
//My identity
That's what I've been thinking since you two have started looking at me with watchful eyes lately

36
p1
You've probably heard it from Yami-oneechan?

p2
In that case
//You have to be fair and show it to me too!
Your secret, Momo-chan ♫

p3/4
...My secret...?
I'm not sure what this is about?

p5
Aha ♫ Playing innocent
The "real Momo-chan" that no one sees at school

37
p1
It's psycho dive
You see... If I attach myself to a body part, I can get into the mind of that person

p2
flashback: Is he dreaming?
Before Nana-chan introduced me to Senpai... I wanted to know what kind of a person he was

p3
I dived into Senpai's dream when I by chance saw him napping on the roof

p4/5
rito: Eh...
mea: The dream that Senpai was seeing... Was based on a certain event that he had recently experienced in the bath
mea: I probed the memory it was based on...
//mea: And saw it ♥

38
p1
Momo-chan, who is so classy and cute at school, who every boy yearns for
Was clinging to Senpai while they were both nude... ♥

p2

39
p1
In... my dream...

p2
Have you remembered it, Senpai?
That's right, in your dream...

p3
rito: Ahh
rito: Hyaaa
mea: You squeezed me
mea: Right here...

p4
nb: Wai...
nb: Ah
nb: Don't...
momo: Rito-san did something like that, even if in a dream...
momo: That's what I'd expect...

40
p1

p2
...So what are you trying to say, Mea-san?
"Don't get in my way unless you want the whole school to find out your secret"...?

p3
mea: No, not at all
//mea: I've been interested in the two of you after that
mea: That's why... Let's be friends ♥
rito: Ahh
rito: Hya

p4
I'm supposed to be staying in this town for a while
//Wouldn't it be boring if the atmosphere became strained?
Then there's also Yami-oneechan telling me that contact with people is important...

41
p1
Is that your own desire?
Or your "Master's"...?

p2
...Who knows?

p3
If we become friends, then I can even help the "harem plan"?
Ah... Although my position won't allow me to be of assistance when roping Yami-oneechan in--- ♫

p4

42
p1
mea: Huhu
//mea: How do you like it, Senpai, Mea's lickity-lick?
rito: H... Hey now, s... stop!

p2
Become friends... huh... It's not really a bad offer
Interaction with Mea-san is required in order to make her an ally and to draw her "Master" out into the foreground...
Besides, now that she knows even of the "harem plan", it's too dangerous to leave things as they are

p3
I should go along here...

p4
...I understand

43
p1
Let's be friends
Or school life won't be fun

p2
Wonderful ♥

44
p1
momo: By the way, Mea-san
mea: Yes, Momo-chan?

p2
momo: If you're doing the licking, then wouldn't it be more effective to change it up like this?
mea: Ohhh, that's what I'd expect from you, Momo-chan!

p3
mea: For example, here... If I go like this?
momo: Right right! But maybe it would feel good to do this here...
mea: I see! How do you like it, Senpai!?
rito: Y... You two...
//rito: Cut it out...

p4
Pop!

45
p1
Rito---
Lala said that now is about time for you to return to your old body...

p2/3

46
p1
mikan: Momo-san... Mea-san... What are you two doing?
momo: Ah... We're not doing anything
momo: We're just helping Rito-san change his clothes...

p2
mea: Eh... Why? I thought we were just licking him?
momo: Idi-...!

p3
mikan: Alright, go home now---!!
mikan: Rito too, change your clothes at once!!
rito?: Y... Yes!!

47
p1
What's all that racket...?

p2
What should I do...?
It might be a problem if I show up unexpectedly...

p3
I want to see him...
Rito-kun...
nb: Even further trouble stirred up by Run's visit---!?
