"So... This is what you felt for me for this long." Chisato said.
"Are we finished now?" Shinosuke said. He clenched his fists as he is clearly contradicting himself just now.
"I have a story to tell you... Once, there is a girl went out in the midnight feeding a stray kitten only to find its corpse within the fog." Chisato said.
"This story...?" Shinosuke muttered.
"As the fog thickens, the girl became lost, and never to be found again." Chisato continued.
"Never to be found again... Did the fog took her away?" Shinosuke asked.
"Perhaps that is one way to put it. Even if the girl made it back home safely, her parents ignored her, even denying her existence." Chisato said.
"What...?" Shinosuke uttered in surprise.
"She became what they called a lost child." Chisato said.
"Does that mean that you...?" Shinosuke asked, Chisato nodded in response.
"This have to be some kind of joke... It is just... Impossible..." Shinosuke is in doubt.
"The Amanogawa Chisato in front of you is not the one you met on your way to the opening ceremony, but Yukimura Mayoi. A miracle happened that caused us to exchange our identities." Chisato confessed.
"So that is why I'm feeling weird when it's with you." Shinosuke said.
"Huh? What do you mean by weird?" Chisato sounded angry.
"Ah no! Assuming it's true, the feeling I had when I am with you is different from when I'm with her on the first day." Shinosuke said.
"A gut feeling huh..." Chisato commented.
"Yeah..." Shinosuke replied awkwardly.
A breeze passed through their awkwardness, the two of them did not say anything. They looked at each other, as if some kind of connection formed between them.
"Now that I think about it... The one I came to admire is not the Chisato I met before the opening ceremony, but you..." Shinosuke said.
"But then... The promise we made before the opening ceremony... I still remember..." Shinosuke added.
"So you never forget about that..." Chisato said.
"Of course I haven't forget it! It's the first time anyone ever talk to me like that!" Shinosuke said.
"Haha... That's true though..." Chisato chuckled.
"Hey... Is that your only time when a girl confesses to you?" Chisato asked.
"Yeah... What about it? You gonna tease me?" Shinosuke responded.
"So here here comes a question: If I were to confess to you right now, does it count as the first time or the second time?" Chisato asked.
"Huh? Why would you confess to me... Wait, what?!" Shinosuke was shocked.
"I never felt that way towards you, but I wonder why, but it seems I can't take my mind off you. Is that because feelings are not transferred when I switched my body?" Chisato said.
"..." Shinosuke remained silent.
"Or is that... I developed feelings over time... Even though you are supposed to be with Chisato?" Chisato asked.
"Let's go on a date, I believe that is what you wanted." Shinosuke said.
"It shouldn't be a problem... You can think of me as the Chisato you knew, once I fulfilled my wishes, I'll leave, and you will still be together with Chisato... A happy ending... This is a very good idea..." Chisato is at the verge of crying.
Noticing this, Shinosuke grabbed Chisato's shoulders and looked directly at her face.
"Don't look! Please..." Chisato cried.
"The one I'm bringing to the date is you, not Chisato." Shinosuke said.
"Huh?!" Chisato is surprised. Her tears dripped down her chin. A bold, strong girl facade she built up slowly reveals her true self in front of Shinosuke.
"This is what you wanted, to fulfil your wishes and return Chisato to this body. This is your promise, wasn't it?" Shinosuke said.
"That's right... I believe she heard all this." Chisato said.
"Wait, you meant Yukimura-san is right here the whole time?!" Shinosuke is shocked. The door opened and slammed quickly, leaving behind the dampening footsteps that slowly fades away.
"Wait!" Shinosuke started chasing.
"Anyways, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow in front of your house." Chisato said.
"Huh?! Why suddenly?" Shinosuke is dumbfounded.
"I want to feel how is it like to be a couple... So don't skip school tomorrow!" Chisato pushes Shinosuke out of the door and shuts it, leaving him to chase after Mayoi.
"Chisato... She must have misunderstood something... If she was crying... Is that because of her...? President... Why you must make things like this..." Shinosuke thought to himself while he frantically searches for Mayoi.
Meanwhile, at the art room, Mio is preparing to close up the room and Mayoi bumped into her.
"Ouch... I'm sorry, are you alright?" Mio asked.
"...!" Mayoi had a flashback, the one moment when she first met Mayoi and accidently switched bodies.
"No, I'm fine... Don't touch me, and please let me hide somewhere. I'm begging you." Mayoi sounded desperate.
"I see... Come on in." Mio opened her clubroom's door and allowed her to hide inside. Suddenly, Shinosuke came up to Mio.
"Excuse me, had you seen a girl with red ribbons tying her ponytail? She's a third year, have you seen her around?" Shinosuke asked frantically.
"I haven't..." Mio said.
"I see, it seems like it is quite late, please go home immediately when you finished up." Shinosuke said as he runs away.
"... May I know what is this about?" Mio asked.
"... There is something going on between the president and him... I don't want to get involved, but when I saw them together, my chest tightens... I don't know what to do!" Mayoi confesses.
"..." Mio stayed silent, maybe she is able to empathise her feelings as she is also in the same situation.
"Found you at last... Chisato." Shinosuke stands at the entrance.
"I think you can't hide anymore... I'm sorry." Mio apologized to Mayoi.
"I see... Thank you for helping..." Mayoi thanked Mio.
"Let's talk this out... Chisato, I know you were hurting... Please let me explain this!" Shinosuke pleaded.
"... I understood what you were trying to do, but it just frustrates me that she gets to be very close with you..." Mayoi confessed.
"Aren't you the one who has always been by my side?" Shinosuke asked.
"Eh?!" Mayoi is sruprised.
"You made yourself invisible to me, and clung around me the whole time didn't you?" Shinosuke asked.
"Doing this, you were trying to make up the promise you failed to fulfil back then. I am totally at fault for not noticing this any sooner." Shinosuke added.
"No... I didn't..." Mayoi tried to deny as her tears could not be contained anymore and started gushing out from her eyes.
"Yes, it is the truth! Since that day, my feelings towards you had been growing stronger little by little... The serious face you make when you are working hard, the defeated face when you faced failure, the tired look on your face when you were trying to keep up with president's orders, I've seen it all!" Mayoi shouted.
"But then... Only her gets to compliment you, comfort you, and tease you... That was supposed to be me... Yet... I could only watch..." Mayoi cried.
"... Chisato..." Shinosuke approached Mayoi and embraced her.
"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Mayoi tried to squirm away from Shinosuke's gentle embrace, and she gave in.
"You big dummy!" Mayoi cried.
"Yes... I'm a big one indeed..." Shinosuke said.
"..." Mio remained silent as she is confused at what happened in front of her.
