CHAPTER 4 OF THE STORY (Revised English Translation)

## Previously

Akira-chan is adapting to her new school quite well. Nobody knows that she was born a male, and she keeps that information as a deep, dark secret. To the other students, Akira is nobody special, just another girl trying to get through the school lessons. However, one particular girl, Rumi-chan, is intrigued and fascinated by Akira's looks and personality. Rumi becomes fond of Akira, even to the point that she invites Akira to her home for a day of fun and play. But much more happens when both Rumi and Akira, due to an accident, get soaked with iced tea. But the dark clouds have a silver lining---Akira gets to wear a pretty girl's dress and cardigan for the first time, with Rumi assuring Akira that she is really a super cute girl. Such an unforeseen event thus bonds the two girls together in a very loving relationship.

## This Chapter's Story

CHAPTER 4---According to the MANGA version---

TWO YEARS LATER---

It is morning, but ten year old Akira Fujimiya is still in the shadowlands, that mysterious and nebulous state of mind halfway between deep sleep and waking consciousness. With this dreamy feeling upon her, Akira's mind drifts to that of a flashback in time, a time long ago when they were a male, a young boy, and an incident from that time tip toes across, and then forms in their mind like a screenshot of an anime on a computer screen.

FLASHBACK---Akira's Mom has taken him to a park that has a child's playground with lots of interesting attractions to interact with and play on. Akira is on one such apparatus, like a jungle gym that has numerous steps and multiple levels. Many children, both boys and girls, are playing on the apparatus, as a group of moms look upon all the activities. Akira's Mom proudly declares, for all to hear, that her son is so tall for his age, so full of energy, and thus surly he will become a fine man ! Mom continues by mentioning that he is so hyperactive that she has to keep an eye on him all the time now, or she won't rest easy at all ! Right then, Akira jumps off of a platform from the second level, and attempts to land on the ground. However, as he lands, he twists his ankle, causing him to become off balance, and to fall forward. Mom hears a loud 'thud' as Akira's head and face slam into the ground. Mom screams, **"AKIRA!!!"** Surprisingly, Akria pops right up and declares that, " It doesn't hurt ! ". He even states in a matter-of-fact tone that he is a boy, and boy's don't cry ! Mom screams that he has blood gushing from his nose !!! Akira looks downward to see the puddle of blood forming on the ground . . . . . . . . . (End)

As Akira struggles to reach consciousness, she wonders if what she just recalled was really true ? Did it really happen ? Hummm . . . . . . . morning . . . . . . . but it's so hot ! Sweating in my sleep is so awful . . . . . . . . and I still don't have my boy bits back, she mumbles as she lazily grabs her crouch. Haaaa . . . . . . . . I don't even remember the feeling of it anymore. I should take a shower . . . . . . . summer . . . . . . . . so hot.

Now in the kitchen with Mom and Grandmother, and still wearing the striped t-shirt and black shorts that she slept in, Akira announces nonchalantly that she is going to take a shower. Mom comments that her hair has grown a lot from what it used to be. Akira says nothing. In the bathroom, in front of the mirror, she acknowledges that her hair has grown longer, but her height . . . . . . . . all the girls in her class have grown taller than her. She takes the t-shirt off, glancing at her bare chest. Her body has stopped growing taller, but her chest is getting bigger; she can feel it ! She stares at her 'muffin tops'. She tells herself that her hair has, indeed, grown, but she has to keep it long, or the other kids will say that she is weird. She also comments that she never, ever thought that she would want to look like a girl.

" If the kids at my old school looked at me now, I'm sure that they would not recognize me ! ", she laments.

At school, today is fifth grade PE class. The class will be held out at the swimming pool, with all the students changing into the school's official swim suits. A boy (Shouma) yells at Fujimiya, asking if she is skipping class again ? Akira and Rumi are sitting together poolside, but both are wearing t-shirts and shorts, not swimwear.

" AKIRA-CHAN HAS A DELICATE NATURE AND A FRAIL BODY ! **LEAVE HER ALONE !!!** " , belts out Rumi in a forceful tone.

Akira thinks to herself quite the opposite. She wants to swim, too, but she doesn't want to wear the girl's swimsuit. She thinks back to when she first transferred to this school. She would sit out swim class then, too. As time passed, a steady stream of other girls would sit with her. But if those girls were not in swim class, it was because of "THAT", right (girl's period) ? When the class is finally over, both girls get up and head for the lockers. As both Rumi and Akira are undressing, Rumi asks Akira if Akira is going to Summer Camp ? Or staying home ? Akira answers in the affirmative, she is going. She has already talked with the teacher about going. Akira turns to look at Rumi; Rumi is still wearing a regular girl's training bra ! Akira shyly tells Rumi that she wants to have a sleepover with her. Rumi tells her that she is making her blush and grin with happiness.

For some unexplained reason, another flashback crosses Akira's mind. This back to a statement that Rumi's older sister made when Rumi first had Akira over for a visit and playtime---

" You'll understand the depths of my suffering in 4 or 5 years ! "

" Will I . . . . . . also . . . . . . . ??? ", Akira quietly mentally torturers herself. " I don't want that . . . . . .", she utters as she strokes her chest with her hand. "OUCH !"

" Are you okay, Akira-chan ? ", quizzes Rumi. " Yeah, I'm fine. " , replies Akira. She ponders on how sensitive her nipples have become.

## Chapter Lookback, Commentary, and Opinion

As this chapter of the story ( MANGA version ) begins, it presents Akira has having just awakened. She checks to see if she has changed sex back to that of male mode. Although it has been 2-3 years since she acquired the body of a girl, nevertheless, she apparently checks at random to ascertain her sexual appearance, in the hopeless, one in a million chance that she would supposedly turn back to having male equipment.

## What Manga Fans Are Saying About This Chapter

**Shogun T / 10 months ago**

She actually got a decent friend!

**The Lord of Fetish / 10 months ago**

This [manga] has me quite worried for some reason.

**dokidoki / 4 months ago**

ahhhhhhh snappppp !!! Glad to see this amazing series, cant wait for more [chapters.] I 100% believe it will turn Yuri, you really think she's gonna like guys after the horrible way they treated her with getting her naked and [all that], but seriously tho I feel like this is more of a redemption series and no [boy-girl] romance at all.

**IlaiaCorde / 1 month ago**

The family is just abiding by what the M[ain] C[haracter] wanted following the genderswap, since the MC has not yet come straight out and told them she want's be treated more like a girl now. Though . . . . she is actually thinking about these things and wants to tell them. So there are no stereotypes at all here. It's a situation where the MC has not decided for themselves and made their desires known.

**Gensou\_Eng / 11 months ago**

Things finally seem to go in a good way for M[ain] C[haracter] [Akira], I hope MC can deal with her past and what awaits in the future now that he has to live as a girl.

**kurisu / 11 months ago**

She needs the [disposable paper panties] because she wets the bed because of [past and present] trauma, read Chapter 3 again.

**fran TRF / 11 months ago**
