Chapter 6

私しかいないんだから (Watashi shika inai n dakara, lit: Because I'm the Only One) is the sixth chapter of the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
An intense cloud of smoke envelops Mr. Oriyama, and as it clears, a woman stands in his place — Oriyama, now with a slender yet muscular figure, has undergone a gender transformation. Hinata and Akira deduce that the change was triggered by an accidental kiss with Hinata during Oriyama's tumble.
Ms. Katsurako demands an explanation from the two, leading them to disclose their own gender-changing story. When questioned about her knowledge of Hinata's situation, Katsurako reveals that she saw it in the mirror. Katsurako notes that such gender-changing phenomena are common in nature but unprecedented in humans, theorizing that Hinata may be harboring a special virus which transmits by kiss.
With Hinata desperate for a cure, Katsurako proposes that Hinata and Akira kiss on the spot, hypothesizing a reversal through the same means as the transmission. However, this would prove futile after Akira's round of intense kissing despite Hinata's embarrassment. Katsurako advises them to stay quiet about the matter and avoid kissing anyone. She consoles a disappointed Hinata by promising that he is always welcome to come back to her, holding him tight to her chest. Akira, bothered by Katsurako's sudden display of intimacy with Hinata, confronts her about her behavior. However, she extends her welcome to Akira as well, expressing a particular fondness for children like them navigating through gender fluidity. Unsettled by this, both students quietly take their leave.
As the school day concludes, Akira informs Hinata of his new role as class president and reminds him the rule against kissing anyone. Yet, he promises that he, and only he alone, will always accept Hina. As Akira leaves, Hinata contemplates the implications of this restriction, until Yurina soon appears and invites him to walk home together.
