Chapter 65

女の子のままで (Onna no ko no mama de, lit: Remaining a Girl) is the sixty-fifth chapter of the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
Embracing Hinata, Kyousuke confesses that he's actually relieved that "Hinako" was really Hinata all along. He explains that before he knew the truth, he started liking Hinako but found himself picturing Hinata whenever he thought of her. Trying to comfort himself, he reasons that it was only natural because "Hinako" wasn't real. Yet, he can't hide his emotions, tearing up as he speaks.
Seeing this, Hinata quietly puts her wig back on and asks Kyousuke to look at her again. She tells him he can think of her as Hinako, just for now. Kyousuke hugs her once more, expressing his newfound gratefulness that it was her. He admits he didn't want to feel guilty towards someone so kind and honest, and realizing that person was his best friend made him feel fortunate, grateful to have the best friend in the world.
Hinata, too, expresses gratitude to Kyousuke and the rest of his friends for their constant support. After a brief pause, she tells Kyousuke that they might have found a way to revert to her original gender. However, it requires a deep, genuine desire to change back, which she admits she is unsure if truly possible. She then adds that staying as a girl doesn't seem so bad, and asks Kyousuke if he would still be her best friend if she chose to live as a woman from now on. Without hesitation, Kyousuke assures her that their friendship would only grow stronger. He then makes a personal request, asking if Hinata would dress up as Hinako from time to time. Hinata agrees, but only on the condition that it remains an occasional thing.
On a call with Youka, Aki informs her of the recent developments. Youka raises a concern about the culprit's plan to cause a gender-changing pandemic. She questions how a virus transmitted by kissing could spread so rapidly on a large scale. She asks Aki who else has been affected by the virus. Aki lists out Yuuri, Suzugami Miya, as well as Goriyama-sensei, but Suzugami Miya's name alone catches Youka's attention. She proceeds to share that she met "Miya-kun" a long time ago.
