Chapter 33: I've Switched It

**I've Switched It** is the thirty-third Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

Ichikawa is having a flashback to a conversation that happened the prior week, in which Moe is talking to the other girls about how she would wear the jersey of her "boifwi" if she ever got one. The other girls offer their opinions, and Moe concludes that that wouldn't happen with any of the boys in their class, anyways. Ichikawa prays that such a couple never ends up in this class.

Back at the current time, Ichikawa is now panicking that they have accidentally switched jerseys, and imagines a scenario where the other girls notice and it hurts Yamada's reputation because of his creepy nature. He takes note of the period, saying if she just isn't caught before it ends, they can switch them back during the break afterwards. While he is watching her, though, he sees her putting his jersey on, and considers doing the same with hers, since it's turned colder, but reprimands himself in his mind for even considering it. The teacher begins putting equations up on the board, and calls Adachi up to the board to solve it. He gets out of his seat to go answer, but Ichikawa interjects, saying he wants to solve it instead. Surprised, the teacher accepts Ichikawa's request, and Adachi thanks him for taking up a problem he couldn't solve. His eyes glance to Yamada as he writes, noticing how blatant his name is on the jersey, and he points to his chest to try and bring attention to it, as he doesn't think she's noticed. Adachi, noticing his stance, says he's giving a "you can leave such a simple question to me" pose to show off. The teacher interjects, though, saying that he actually got the question wrong. He returns to his desk, craving death from the social embarrassment, but noting that the real trial is about to begin as Yamada gets up from her seat.

Yamada goes to the cafeteria to get her lunch, always managing to block his name on the jersey throughout the meal, and he later finds her in the library, holding his jersey. She says that they must have switched them by accident, and they trade back. He goes through all the moments where she had it on, wondering when she noticed. She brings up how he never wore hers once, and if he was ever cold, which he denies. As he's inspecting his jersey, he notices some rice on the collar, and says that she must have spilled it while eating, flicking it away. She looks away, blushing.

## Trivia

Yamada likely noticed she had his jersey from the moment she put it on. She seems to be consciously keeping his name hidden during the meal, and has rice stuck to her face after the meal, but leaves it on the collar after sniffing his jersey before he comes inside the library.
