"Aah!.... I don't know the way to her school. I should go back and ask Yotsuha to guide me," Aki realized as he walked a little. Deciding to head back, he turned around and walked back to the house.
"Imouto-...wo?" Aki called out as he opened the front door, thinking they might already be in their rooms. To his surprise, both Yotsuha and their grandmother were still standing by the door.
"Ahh, Onee-chan, why did you return? Are you feeling unwell?" Yotsuha asked in surprise as Mitsuha suddenly returned while they were arguing.
"If you are sick, you can rest, dear," their grandmother advised with some concern.
"No, I am fine. I just need help. Imouto-wo, can you guide me to my school?" Aki asked, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"That... Okay..." Though Yotsuha's suspicions were growing, she still obeyed her sister and led the way. "I will be going too, Granma."
"One again see you grandma.," Aki said, waving his hand backward as he closed the door.
"... Oh god, please help our family," Hitoha prayed quietly as she looks at the disappearing figures of her grandchilds.
"Can I ask you something, onee-chan?" Yotsuha said as they walked on the roadside towards Mitsuha's school.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" Aki responded nonchalantly, kicking stones along the way.
"... Never mind, it's nothing." Seeing her sister's mood, Yotsuha felt scared to ask. She looked down, worried about her sister but too afraid to voice it.
Realizing the situation, Aki sighed as they walked. "Are you worried about Mitsuha?"
"Hah, no, no! What are you talking about? Are you joking, sis?" Yotsuha tried to hide her fear, but her curiosity was evident.
"I know that you might already be aware that I am not your sister, right?" Saying this, Aki stopped walking and looked at her.
The place they were at was really empty; there were no passersby, only some random animals in the distance.
With tears forming in her eyes, Yotsuha tried to be honest. "Yes, I am worried. Is my sister okay? Please don't eat us, Mr. Ghost. We are good kids." With her hand on her chest and a quavering voice, she pleaded.
Seeing her reaction, Aki wanted to laugh. 'Mr. Ghost, huh? Now I've got a good nickname.'
Touching her face and wiping away the teardrops with his thumb, he responded, "Yeah, your sister might be fine. If you want to confirm, wait for tomorrow. But for now, let's enjoy your time with this 'Mr. Ghost' of yours."
Yotsuha looked up with mixed emotions. 'Am I going to wait to know my sister's condition until tomorrow?' she thought.
But the hand that touched her and the voice she heard, even though it was her sister's body, it was gaving her a different feeling along with measurements.
With a deeply red face, she nodded. "Okay, I will wait, Mr. Ghost."
Hearing her confirmation, Aki asked, "So, can I still call you my imouto? I like how it sounds," Aki teased.
"Then is 'Mr. Ghost' okay with you?" Yotsuha, being a smart girl, knew he was teasing and responded in a way to counter.
"Oh, you can, but I'm surprised you assumed my gender as male so quickly," Aki responded.
"Of course I knew. When you confirmed you are not my sister, I figured it out."
"Wow, you are really smart, imouto," Aki praised her by ruffling her hair.
"Don't casually touch me! I know you're a pervert, so I'm going back. Your school is just ahead. You can find it if you go straight," Yotsuha said, embarrassed, as she ran away.
Aki looked at the disappearing figures for a few seconds and murmured, "Damn, she is 9. What was I doing?" Aki laughed at his actions. After that, he resumed walking towards the school.
On his way, he met Mitsuha's friends, who were all puzzled and surprised to see her/him wearing a male uniform.
"What is going on, Mitsuha? Isn't this your clothes Tashiga? " shouted. Natori.
"Yes. I didn't know you were going to wear it when I gave it to Yotsuha," Tashiga responded, looking at Mitsuha's new appearance.
"Don't think too much. I just want to experience something new. Tomorrow I will return to normal," Aki responded as he walked, and the two followed him, though skeptical.
The second he reached the school, everyone's eyes were on them. Many expressions could be seen: surprise, concern, amusement, and even lust.
"Um, Mitsuha, are you comfortable?" Natori asked, concerned about the gossip that would follow her friend's choice.
"Don't worry, Mitsuha. I will protect you," reassured Tashiga.
"No, thanks. I don't need your protection," Aki replied swiftly, feeling goosebumps all around hearing it from a man. Besides, he wasn't that concerned; after all, it was the real Mitsuha's problem to solve.
With that in mind, Aki went inside Mitsuha's classroom, following the duo.
It was the same reaction inside the classroom as outside; everyone was either whispering about him or eyeing him.
"This feeling... This feeling is funny. What will be her reaction tomorrow?" Aki laughed in his heart, not knowing what kind of chaos the real Mitsuha was causing over there for him.
In the classroom, whispers spread like wildfire.
"Is that really Mitsuha?" one classmate asked.
"Why is she dressed like a guy?" another one questioned.
"Do you think she's trying to make a statement or something?" someone speculated.
"Maybe she just wanted to see what it feels like," a more understanding classmate suggested.
"Well, whatever the reason, she looks hot," one student said with a hint of admiration.
"I wonder if she will accept me if I purpose, to her.," another commented.
The conversations continued, filled with curiosity and speculation about Mitsuha's bold choice.
The day went on with many comments and new experiences for everyone. As it was bedtime, Aki stood up from the dining table and was about to go to bed but noticed that both Yotsuha and Hitoha were not moving.
"Aren't you going to bed, Yotsuha?" he asked.
"Ah, Grandma and I are going to sleep together today," she responded while Hitoha nodded.
"Oh, is that so?" Aki said, about to leave, but suddenly he had something in mind. "Imouto, you're not sleeping with Grandma today."
"Eh? Why?" she protested.
"After all, you're going to sleep with Onee-chan, right?" Aki teased.
"What? Like hell I would, you pervert! You waste of society, idiot ghosts!" she cursed with every word she could find.
Veins bulged on Aki's forehead. He was just teasing, but now he was determined. "If you refuse me, then I will not return your sister. Do I make myself clear?" Saying that, Aki went upstairs to Mitsuha's room.
With teary eyes, Yotsuha looked at Hitoha for help, but Hitoha diverted her gaze away, not even reassuring Yotsuha. Hitoha knew that Yotsuha was not in danger. Even if she knows Mitsuha now was a completely different person. She didn't see any ill intention in her eyes when she invited Yotsuha, so she let it go.
"No! How can you abandon me, Grandma? You're all bad people!" Yotsuha cried, going to her room, which was upstairs next to Mitsuha's room.
As an hour passed, Yotsuha felt unsettled. She had initially wanted to sleep with her grandmother to feel at ease, but now the ghost she was previously scared of told her to be in the same room with him. He even threatened not to return her sister. With a heavy heart, she knocked on Mitsuha's door.
Aki was not asleep. He was writing many ways to earn money for Mitsuha. After all, it was three years back in time, so he borrowed a cellphone from a school teacher. Yes, he really borrowed it without the teacher's knowledge, and he would surely return it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Hmm, my father's company is already at its peak. Wow, I looked cute when I was 11... I didn't realize we had an age difference of six years. She may already be 21 compared to my timeline. Hmm, Mother also looks cute when she was young, but why do I feel she looks like someone I know..."
As he scrolled down in the name of the Shijo family, he saw a group photo. "Who is this girl, and why is she locking my neck in her arm? Sigh, poor Aki. He was really bullied; that's why he became a scumbag."
While scrolling through the pictures, he heard a knock on the door. "Hmm, who might it be? Wait, is it Yotsuha? Did she really come?" Aki wondered. He quickly broke the SIM card, switched off the cellphone, and hid it in the cupboard before going to open the door.
