(Manga Cross-reference---Chapters 20, 21, & 22, plus part of Omake 21.5)

## Previously

As Mahiro transitions away from the male NEET personality that they previously were bound to, to that of a teenage female that begins to make friends with other teenage females, she at first is introduced to Kaede. Later, Mahiro makes friends with Kaede's younger sister, the tomboy Momiji. Plus Mahiro is venturing out in public on her own ! Therefore, one recent day she goes to various stores looking for anime clear file covers. Yet a problem is made apparent, when at a video arcade, she is stopped and questioned by an officer who wants to know why she is not in school (male Mahiro dropped out of middle school two years ago) ? Therefore, Mihari, working 'behind the scenes', concocts a plan to enable Mahiro to reenter middle school where they left off, with a cover story that conceals their NEET time as a recluse, albeit Mahiro is now two years older than her classmates. Mahiro is unaware of what is about to happen to her, but, more or less, accepts what Mihari has planned out for her, as she has been doing ever since she took the MtF transition drug.

## This Episode's Story

As the school day begins at the middle school where Momiji attends, the Sensei (homeroom teacher) takes time before the beginning of classes to introduce a new transfer student---Mahiro Oyama ! Mahiro stands in front of the whole class, and with her name written on the blackboard, utters her name, a few words of introduction, and well wishes. The class presentation of the transfer student seemingly went off 'without a hitch', as the entire class claps to welcome Mahiro. However, after taking her seat at her assigned desk, Mahiro soon falls into a daydream, reminiscing about what had recently happened to her, and why she is sitting in school now.

>>>>>>>ANIME OPENING SEQUENCE<<<<<<<

MAHIRO'S DAYDREAM AND RECOLLECTIONS---She recalls the other day when Momiji and two other girls came to her home, still wearing their middle school uniforms, and stood by the open front door. Mahiro was the one who opened the front door, but when she sees Momiji and the two strange girls with her, Mahiro ducks behind Mihari like she has just seen a ghost ! However, Momiji and two of her middle school girlfriends, wanted to get parfaits after school, and only desired to know if Mahiro would like to come along ? Still somewhat dazed and confused, Mahiro mumbles that she has some important plans for this afternoon......... However, Mihari states that Mahiro actually told her that this afternoon is free, so Mahiro should be happy to go ! Mihari deftly slips some money to Mahiro, and commits her to Momiji's hospitality. Momiji gently puts her hands on Mahiro's shoulders, and steers her toward the other two girls, and out the front door. *"Let's go !"* With a look of pure terror on her face, Mahiro looks back and implores Mihari, but Mihari only shouts, "Have fun you guys!", as the front door closes !

At the Parfait Shoppe, with the four sitting in a booth, it is time for introductions all around ! "I'm Asahi !", says Asahi. "And this is my classmate, Miyo-chan !", intones Momiji, as Miyo-chan sits silent and quiet. With the look of seemingly pure joy on her face, Mahiro exclaims, "I'm Mahiro ! Nice to meet you !", all the while putting a 'death grip' on Momiji's arm and shoulder, at the thought of the fact that she is having interpersonal interchanges with real, live middle school girls ! Nothing to freak-out about, Mahiro tells herself, as she apologizes to Momiji. This does not go unnoticed by Miyo-chan, as Momiji quickly disengages herself from Mahiro.

"Heard that you two were close . . . . . . .", offers Miyo-chan. "We have already heard about you from Momiji, earlier, Maa-High-Ron !", spits out Asahi. "How cute and funny you are!" proclaims Miyo-chan. "And how you are a real slob, who is terrible around other people !", belts out Asahi! Momiji about falls out of her seat by that comment, declares that she did not say that, and tells everyone that Asahi really doesn't mean anything by her rudeness. Mahiro takes the comment 'with a grain of salt', and states that she, herself, would rather acknowledge that comment, than having to live up to false expectations. Mahiro then feels that awkward comment actually helped to 'break the ice', and gestures to Asahi. Momiji apologizes on behalf of Asahi, who is 'such a numbskull!'. "That's harsh !", interjects Mahiro. "Asahi and myself have been together since grade school, and are inseparable friends!", announces Momiji. But now the parfaits have arrived, bringing an end to the embarrassing conversations and comments.

Mahiro gets her composure back when she sees the four parfaits in all their glory, and remarks to herself that this might be the first time that she has actually enjoyed a real, honest parfait ! But 'quick as a wink', in a most astounding way, and dripping with intimate Shoujo Ai (girl's love) feels, Asahi offers the first bite from her parfait (vanilla drizzled with carmel) to Mahiro, to apologize for her callous comments earlier. Mahiro is quite taken aback ! And 'faster than a speeding bullet', Momiji horns in and chomps down on Asahi's offering, then accosts Mahiro with the first bite of her own parfait ! Miyo-chan is surprised, too, but greatly gratified at witnessing this unforeseen, yet so sublime, girl-with-girl intimate interplay !

Afterward, all four girls are on the sidewalk walking towards their homes, with the three in front, and Mahiro by herself bringing up the rear. Mahiro apologizes for intruding on their social group. Nah, Mahiro is part of the group, now, is the response. All four then plan on doing this again sometime. The three turn a corner, leaving Mahiro by herself. Mahiro thinks to herself that even though she was worried about what could have happened at first, surprisingly, she actually had a wonderful time ! As Mahiro turns to depart, Miyo-chan comes up from behind, only to reasssuringly take both of Mahiro's hands into her hands, and passionately proclaim---

*"I'm rooting for you......!"*

Later, at the Oyama home, Mahiro announces her presence as she walks through the front door. Mihari welcomes her with baited breath, wanting to know how things went ? Mahiro only states that the parfait was delicious. Mihari states that she will be making dinner, and for Mahiro to go take a shower. This she does ! But when she emerges from the shower, she finds that her clothes are already laid out for her. But what gives ??? Mahiro dresses in the super cute blouse, jumper dress, and business jacket combination that was selected for her. But when she sees herself in the mirror, she wonders where has she seen this particular fashion style before ? As soon as Mihari sees the outfit, she oozes that her middle school uniform fits Mahiro perfectly, as Mahiro protests that she does not want to play 'dress up doll' right now.

However, Mihari now takes on a serious and somber note, inviting Mahiro to sit down with her at the dining room table. Mihari confides that the drug that she gives to you, Mahiro, does not 'wear off' for quite some time to come, plus you have already made some female friends, including middle school girls. Therefore, Mihari continues, I have already implemented a 'Cover Story' for you, including all the details. "Don't tell me......" , interjects Mahiro. But she is cut off by Mihari, **"You're going back to middle school.......!"** (END MAHIRO'S DAYDREAM)

So that is how I ended up in this mess, Mahiro silently tells herself. Sitting at her desk, calmed down somewhat from the introduction, Mahiro thinks to herself that she should have 'put her foot down' and not agreed to go to school at all, much less as a girl !

However, during the morning break, a parade of other girls in the class surround Mahiro at her desk, and assault her with comments of---

"Let's talk!" "You are so cute !" "Such pretty hair !" (Mahiro has her long, fluffy hair done up in sexy twin tails) "Tell us where you are from ?"

A streak of fear bolts through Mahiro, as she thinks that this must be the transfer student's 'Baptism By Fire' ! Soon, though, a rescuer comes---Momiji-sama ! Mahiro is so thankful, although Momiji had no idea that Mahiro would be placed in her class. Momiji states that she will do personal introductions all around, later. Thankfully, that breaks up the crowd of girls gathered around Mahiro. Soon, two more well-wishers appear---Asahi and Miyo-chan. Momiji matter-of-factly states that she heard that Mahiro had to stay at home with a severe and lengthy illness, and was homeschooled. Mahiro immediately picks up on that; this must be one of Mihari's ploys, and rolls with that explanation. Yet Mahiro relates that she is all better now, just tired from getting up so early today. Asahi points out that with school being so early in the morning, and with Maa-high-row being such a lazy slob ........... (this draws a hatchet chop to Asahi's head from Momiji).

Asahi recoils by stating that she will give Maa-high-row some of her boundless energy, by means of an intimate girl-with-girl loli hug. This she does, as Momiji looks on, and Miyo-chan goes bonkers with secret, intimate joy ! Mahiro notes that Asahi 'smells like a fresh summer breeze'. In a few moments, Momiji gets the same loli treatment, as Momiji melts into Asahi's arms. Momiji declares that Asahi can get really 'touchy-feely'! Seeing the girl-with-girl affection being displayed, Miyo-chan is shot into 'seventh heaven' (Miyo's name means "Love For You"). Miyo-chan is also offered a 'kick-start' from Asahi, but declines, saying that she is a watcher, not a doer.

>>>>>>>ANIME EYECATCH (Miyo-chan in her female school uniform, sitting down and shyly waving her hand)<<<<<<<

The boring afternoon classes drone on and on. Thankfully, during the rest of the day, Mahiro was not called on in class. At the dreaded afternoon break time, Momiji and the two girls ran interference for Mahiro, as they became defense for a noisy, boisterous crowd of other girls that once again gathered at Mahiro's desk. As the end of day bell rings, Mahiro collapses on her desk, exhaling sharply, and declaring that she **has survived** ! The three friends collect an exhausted Mahiro and offer to walk her home. Mahiro notes that without her girl companions, she had no idea what would have happened to her.

But 'lightening strikes twice', as Mahiro suddenly realizes that, after all day, she now needs to go to the toilet. She rushes to the school bathrooms, only to realize that she has unconsciously walked into the boy's room, and up to a urinal. Two boys seeing her are quite shocked, make eye contact with her, but say nothing. Coming to her senses, Mahiro screams, scoots out, and around into the girl's room. But just as suddenly, so do the other three girls now decide they want to enter the girl's room, too. Mahiro becomes nonplussed at the gaggle of girls inside, realizing that girls go to the restroom together, don't they ? And she does not now want to 'go' in a crowded restroom (too much tinkling noise !). Mahiro leaves without 'going', telling herself that she just does not have the 'guts' to do so under those conditions.

Walking home together, again, the three are in the lead, and Mahiro is 'bringing up the rear'. Momiji is talking about the fabulous deserts at a local eating place, but food is far, far from Mahiro's mind. All she can think about is how badly she has to go to the toilet. With one hand clutching the front of her dress, and her face turning blue, Mahiro is in dire straights. Momiji turns back and announces to Mahiro that she is already at her home. Mahiro makes a 'mad dash' to the front door, but stops and fondly looks back at her three friends, the three who helped her get through her first day back to school. But with the 'Floodgates of Heaven' ready to burst, Mahiro bolts through the front door, and right into the person of Mihari, standing in the hallway to greet her. Mahiro falls to the floor with an "Oof". However, an Almighty Shudder ripples through Mahiro, shaking her to her very core, and a cloudburst and downpour happens right there in the hallway ...............

***AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!***

>>>>>>>ANIME EYECATCH (Asahi with a surprised look on her face. Two Sensei (teachers) from school both give out a menacing looks.)<<<<<<<

Next school day, Mahiro is already up and dressed in her middle school uniform, but protests going to school. "This sucks...!" Mihari gives Mahiro her school bookbag, and deftly shoves her out the front door, and toward the two waiting for her, Kaede and Momiji. After 'goodbys', the two begin walking, with Mahiro complaining about supposedly how heavy her bookbag is. Kaede wants to know how middle school has been so far for Mahiro ? Hard to tell after only one day.

Now at her desk, a very tired Mahiro vows to get Mihari to obtain a driving license so as to chauffeur her to school ! Mahiro wants to sleep through the first class, but such is not to be ! The first class is PE ! Mahiro berates her misfortune, but that only increases with her being very sleepy, and absentmindedly begins to undress herself for PE class ! She unbuttons her shirt enough to show the top of her lacy bra before reality kicks in, and two boys begin intensely staring at her ! However, Momiji jolts Mahiro back to reality, as she quickly buttons up her shirt, and apologizes. Asahi administers needed verbal discipline and correction to the boys, while Momiji leads Mahiro 'out of the frying pan and into the fire' ! The sign above the door tells the whole story--- **Girls' Locker Room** !

The scene inside the locker room emotionally assaults Mahiro---middle school girls in various states of undress ! Mahiro is now an atomically correct bodied female, so to be in the Girl's Locker Room is the proper place for her to change into her PE outfit. However, leftover male attitudes and traits not yet banished or corrected still bedevil her (like going into the boy's room yesterday), and she sometimes becomes awkward and apprehensive at certain times and situations, like right now ! Mahiro sees the sleepy girl undressing, as well as other girls in various stages of undress.

To turn from such troublesome landscapes, Mahiro stands in front of her locker and stares directly into it. She decides that a touch of self-control and distraction is needed just now, and turns to look only at Momiji and Asahi. Both are showing that they wear only training bras, as their bust has not developed yet. Mahiro next turns her attention to Miyo-chan. Miyo-chan is changing quickly by herself, and trying to hide in front of her locker; she already has an attractive, mature, developed bust, and wears a regular adult-style bra. Mahiro turns her gaze away from Miyo-chan, with a hearty, "I'm sorry !", as she, herself, begins to undress. She takes note of her own modest bust, nonetheless, she also wears a regular bra. When she is finished dressing, Miyo-chan comes over to Mahiro's locker, and nonchalantly states that she, Miyo-chan, can 'cover up' with her track suit, so that nobody probably will notice her abundantness.

On the outdoor field, PE class begins with stretching exercises, done in pairs. Mahiro is paired with Miyo-chan, whereas Momiji is paired with Asahi. Mahiro asks Miyo-chan what kind of training are they preparing for ? Long distance running, all month long ! UGG ! The female troops are then assembled in front of the PE instructor, who tells them that today they are going be clocked at the 1500 meter run. "The pure dread of this is making me sick to my stomach", Mahiro softly remarks to herself. She goes bonkers from the frustration of it all, and this clearly shows on Mahiro's face. This is noticed by Miyo-chan, as she asks Mahiro what is wrong ? Not feeling well in my tummy. Miyo-chan then catches the attention of the female PE instructor, and coming up to her, quietly whispers her concerns, even though she may be misunderstanding what is motivating Mahiro's distress. The instructor shouts to Mahiro, telling her that she can just sit and watch for today. Thank goodness !

Looking on from a grassy knoll, in the shade, Mahiro now has a smile on her face, relishing that fact that she doesn't have to run ! That unintended 'sick girl' story sure came in handy ! Soon, Miyo-chan comes running by. But Miyo-chan is the one distressed now, running with her ample bust noticeably bouncing under her track suit. Next, Momiji comes by, killing her old time record. Not surprising, Asahi streaks by, 'on fire' and it is Asahi who wins the 1500 meter distance track run. Bringing water bottles to the two friends, Mahiro shows that she is useful for something. Eventually, Miyo-chan makes it to the end, is vexed by her noticable bouncing, is very tired, but is in good spirits otherwise. She is given a water bottle, too. After drinking, Miyo-chan whispers to Mahiro, asking her if she "has one" with her ? If not, she will give Mahiro "one of hers" ! Asahi is puzzled, and asks Momiji, "What are those two talking about (\*) ?" Momiji tactfully leads a confused and protesting Asahi away.

That evening, over the dinner table, Mahiro relates the day's activities to Mihari. Mahiro says by the time she realized that her classmate was worried about Mahiro's supposed period, it was too far gone to come clean and say that she was just tired and did not want to run. Mihari is nonplussed, and sternly tells her not to 'buy into' stuff like that any more. Anything else happen ? In the girl's locker room was a bit dicey. Also, Mahiro noitced that a couple of guys were stealing glances at her in homeroom. And they looked again when she was in the boy's restroom.

***"WHAT???"***, belts out Mihari !

Mahiro relizes that she is 'in too deep', and quickly excuses herself from the dinner table.

(\*) Apparently, Asahi has not had her first period, and does not know what is eventually coming her way.
