Chapter 53

わがまま (Wagamama, lit: Selfishness) is the fifty-third chapter of the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
Everyone is shocked to see Hinata as a girl. Overwhelmed, Hinata faints. Ms. Katsurako catches him as he collapses, assuring everyone that she will explain the situation later.
After finding some clothes for Hinata, Katsurako gathers everyone and explains that Hinata is affected by a mysterious disease for which a cure is being sought. The students murmur among themselves, and one asks if they could be infected too. Katsurako reassures them that it is unlikely for now, deliberately withholding details about how the virus spreads to avoid causing unnecessary panic. She also instructs the students refrain from posting about this on social media, uncertain if she can protect them all if things spiral out of control.
Hinata suggests that he should isolate himself from others for a while, given the situation. However, Katsurako insists that she would never want a student to go through something like that, promising to take responsibility for anything that happens, acknowledging the decision as one made out of her own selfishness.
Despite his worries, the class is quick to accept the new Hinata. Both the boys and girls agree that Hinata is very cute, and, understanding how difficult it must've been for him, they express that they wish he had told them sooner instead of keeping it hidden. However, just as he is at the center of the class's attention, he notices Yurina quietly leaving the room.
Hinata quickly follows after Yurina. In the hallway, with her back turned, Yurina asks Hinata why he didn't tell her. Before he can answer, she brings up what he said about the "special makeup" during the school festival, now realizing it was a lie. Hinata admits that he lied, after which Yurina, on the verge of tears, runs away.
The next morning, Yurina is still missing from the hotel. Alone, she is sitting alone on a bench near Fushimi Inari Taisha. She realizes how selfish and hypocritical her actions are, having said many big words about how her feelings for Hinata won't change no matter what. However, she now struggles to see the same way now that he's turned into a girl. As she talks to herself, Youka happens to walk by and overhears her mentioning Hinata's name.
