Chapter 9

ヒナタくんチェンジ (Hinata kun chenji, lit: Hinata-kun Change) is the ninth chapter of the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
After the park incident, Hinata is haunted by a nightmare where he accidentally changes Yurina's gender. Despite the unsettling dream, Yurina continues to behave as usual at school.
Kyousuke, another friend from elementary school, approaches Hinata, picking up on his unease. He astutely surmises that Hinata's stress stems from his long-standing feelings for Yurina, catching him off guard, wondering if he's ever told Kyousuke. Kyousuke, though, tells him that that it was obvious from looking at his face. However, he decides to respect Hinata's privacy, acknowledging that everyone has secrets that they prefer to keep hidden.
Shifting the conversation, Kyousuke confides in Hinata about something that is bothering him, leading him to an unused classroom transformed into a makeshift studio filled with women's clothing and sewing equipment. Kyousuke reveals his passion for fashion design, aspiring to create women's wear and pursue clothing studies in a vocational school. Hinata expresses support for Kyousuke's dream, but is then unexpectedly asked to model for his creations. As Hinata emerges after changing into one of Kyousuke's designs, Kyousuke closely inspects his work then quickly snaps a photo, his excitement palpable as he declares Hinata the perfect choice for the job.
The session extends as Hinata tries on more outfits, both participants growing exhausted by the end. Resting on the floor, Hinata asks if he was helpful, to which Kyousuke affirmatively responds, albeit with an apology, knowing Hinata's discomfort with being compared to a girl. Surprisingly, Hinata sits up and acknowledges a newfound fondness for Kyousuke's outfits, despite the initial awkwardness. The moment is interrupted when Kyousuke nearly catches a glimpse between Hinata's legs. Hinata panics upon realizing this, which only puzzles Kyousuke, who is still unaware of Hinata's gender change.
Kyousuke begins to copy the photos onto his computer, while Hinata reflects on the rare glimpse into Kyousuke's passions and thoughts, finding an unexpected charm in his serious demeanor. However, he is frozen in shock and embarrassment when he finds Kyousuke editing his face onto various other photos. Kyousuke's next suggestion of trying on a revealing swimsuit is met with adamant refusal from Hinata.
