Chapter 27: Coaxing and Preparations
“What? You want me to take the exam for you?”
After hearing my request, Ai sat up straight, giving me a look of utter disbelief as she retorted.
I sat up too, a smile brimming with self-confidence on my face as I explained.
“That’s right. Due to some accident, I’ve forgotten some knowledge, and I was definitely going to fail this final exam. But at a time like this, you, the other me who just finished reviewing everything, arrived in this world. It’s as if you were meant to help me pass the exam!”
“You forgot how it happened… Well, I don’t even want to ask why. In short, you’re saying that if I help you pass the final exam, I’ll have accomplished the mission of coming to this world and might be able to go back?”
Otherwise, I really can’t think of any reason why you would suddenly be transported to this world at this particular time.
Everything that happens has a cause and effect and is beneficial to me.
“It sounds a bit far-fetched… yet, it also seems to make some sense…”
“Well, no matter what, you’re idle anyway. Don’t you want to see this world?” If it were me, I would find an opportunity to explore it and see how the two worlds differ.”
Isn’t it interesting, like a game of Spot the Difference?
“…Indeed, it does sound interesting, like a game of Spot the Difference… Alright then. But even if we are the same person, our genders and hair lengths are different, right? And the most crucial thing is our physique. Even if I wear men’s clothes, I can’t flatten my chest.”
Ai lowered her head, hugging her chest and puffing it out. Such a magnificent sight… She just mentioned her measurements, what were they again? It seemed to be 88, which is already a considerable number, commonly known as ‘large breasts’. I never expected the other me from a parallel world to be such a cute, busty girl. I’m almost in love with myself!
Of course, that’s a joke.
However, to be honest, it’s almost impossible for her to disguise herself as me using ordinary methods. And it would be a shame to cut off that long black hair.
“The hair can be cut, and the chest can be bound as much as possible, so it might work, but it still feels a bit strained… If it were someone I didn’t know, it might be fine, but it’s impossible for someone who knows me not to notice, right? Especially since Teacher Komoe’s eyes are so sharp…”
Ai pinched her chin, pondered, and then said to me.
“If you were to cross-dress as me, it would actually be much easier.”
“N-no cross-dressing for me, please.”
Although looking at her made me naturally think, ‘Maybe I would actually look good cross-dressing,’ I was mentally refusing the idea.
“Since I’ve brought it up, I naturally have a way to resolve it. First, put on some clothes, and let’s go find Teacher Lily.”
“Yes, she’s the key person who can make ‘you’ impersonate ‘me’ without any flaws.”
“Well… In any case, I just need to do as you say, right?”
“Please refer to it as cooperation. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”
I met her gaze directly, and Ai sighed, shrugging her shoulders as she looked at me.
“Ha… I do trust you. After all, I’m not someone who lies. I hope you won’t sell me out.”
“Of course. I promise you, if anything unexpected happens, I will help you escape safely and ensure you are not harmed.”
“You’re quite reliable… Hehe, ‘manliness’? That’s something I lack too.”
“Hey, isn’t that obvious? I also lack ‘femininity’.”
“However, we both have ‘domestic skills,’ which is a huge plus. Being able to cook is a great advantage.”
“If that’s the case, then whoever marries you will be very happy.”
She has both femininity and domestic skills, and she quietly cares for you. Isn’t she the model wife?
“Wh-what are you saying!”
Ai, uncharacteristically nervous, her face flushing red, clenched her fists and waved them down as she shouted.
“I’m just stating the truth. Oh, you’re blushing. You’re biting your lower lip and looking annoyed, but it’s actually because you don’t know how to react.”
Just by looking at her, I could understand her mood, her thoughts, and her emotions.
The initial anxiety about the unknown, and the feeling similar to the ‘uncanny valley’ phenomenon caused by our extreme similarity, led us to both…
But after talking a little and spending some time together, I realized there was no need to be afraid.
Because she is my ‘other half.’
This strange experience is probably something I won’t have again. I should cherish this time.
“Then, I’ll lend you my school uniform first. It will also be more convenient later.”
“Understood. Then wait for me for a moment, I’ll get dressed right away.”
“Okay.”
I left the room directly. I didn’t need to deliberately get her the school uniform; the location would be the same anyway.
I returned to the living room, finished the yogurt I had half-drunk earlier, and then poured myself a new one. Not long after I sat down, I heard her footsteps on the stairs… Hmm? The sound seems a bit strange.
Ai, now wearing my school uniform, walked down slowly, holding the stair railing. Her gait was a bit uneven, as if she had injured herself somewhere.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
I walked over, helped her to a chair, and asked, supporting her shoulder.
“I only felt it when I got out of bed just now. I might have sprained my ankle when I slipped earlier.”
I squatted down, rolled up her pant leg, and checked. Her ankle was already swollen.
“It looks quite serious… Did you twist it when you slipped earlier?”
“Probably. I was too careless.”
“But we were going to see Lily anyway. I’ll ask her to treat it then. Since you have trouble with your legs right now, I’ll carry you.”
I remained in a crouching position, turned around, and gestured for her to climb on.
“Eh? But…”
“No buts, hurry up and get on.”
“…Okay.”
I felt two soft mounds press against the back of my head. Seeing her wrap her arms around my neck, I picked her up by the thighs and stood up.
She’s very light. Despite her tall stature and generous figure, her weight is surprisingly low.
I carried her to the entrance, helped her put on one shoe, and then prepared to leave with the other shoe in hand.
“Um, aren’t you too heavy?”
“Not at all. I feel like I could carry you all night without any problem.”
…Didn’t you fall down while holding me just now? Aren’t you hurt? You must have gotten injured when you slipped like that, and you were carrying my weight…
“It’s fine, I’m quite sturdy.”
“Is that so… You really are reliable. Oh, right, right, I almost forgot to bring my medicine. It’ll be time to take it again soon. In case I’m not home by then, I need to bring it with me. Since my hands are occupied, I handed the medicine bottle to Ai, and then we headed straight for Lily’s house without any delay.”
We arrived at Lily’s doorstep again, and it was almost midnight.
I asked Ai to ring the doorbell. Within a few seconds, Lily opened the door.
Seeing me with Ai on my back, she was clearly stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.
“Eh? Juncheng?! And this is…”
“Sorry to bother you so late, but I need your help with something. As for her… I’ll explain after we go inside.”
“Oh… oh, okay.”
After going inside, I explained the situation to her, and Lily’s mouth grew wider and wider until it couldn’t close.
“So, that’s the story. She’s me from another parallel world.”
“…Hello, my name is Ai An… Teacher Yang, you don’t know me, but I actually know you. I’m even the librarian…”
**CRASH!**
Lily headbutted the table!
The table took 100 points of damage, denting inward!
Seeing her clutching her stomach and convulsing, a familiar sight, I raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Eh? Could it be that the contract also works on her?”
“Haa, haa. It seems to be the case…”
“Uh, then why are you smiling?”
It looks like she’s smiling excitedly from re-experiencing that pain…
“Eh? I’m smiling? I’m not smiling? Uh, hiss…”
Her uncontrollable smile and drooling mouth completely betrayed her. She was definitely enjoying herself.
I glanced at Ai, and our eyes met. She shot me a questioning look, and I nodded.
She revealed a look of instant understanding, and her gaze towards me became a little strange, like she was looking at trash.
Wait, I didn’t train her! I really didn’t!
It was Lily herself who got carried away. I never forced her to do anything from beginning to end… Suddenly, I remembered that time when I asked her to kneel down… Could that have been the trigger?
If we continue this topic, it feels like it will get very bad, so I immediately coughed twice to change the subject.
“Ahem… In any case, I hope Lily, you can cast the ‘Impression Reversal’ magic circle on her. The effect should be to reverse the impression of ‘female’.”
Let’s not talk about Ai for now. She must be undergoing a baptism of her common sense being shattered, just like I was back then.
Lily looked surprised, meaning she had never done anything like this before.
“Can’t you do it?”
“This, I haven’t tried to reverse a specific impression before… But if I specify it during the setup, maybe…”
“Well, let’s try it first.”
“Okay.”
A moment later, the magic circle was cast, inscribed on the inside of the school uniform’s collar.
To my eyes, there was no change, but Lily’s stunned gaze indicated that it should have been successful.
Her eyes widened, and she pointed at us with two fingers, murmuring.
“Jun…cheng…”
Even though she was the one who cast the magic circle, she was still startled by the predictable result.
It seems there are no flaws in her appearance.
“How does it feel?”
“I don’t feel anything, but when I look in the mirror, I see your face. It’s incredible. Does magic really exist? And Teacher Yang, are you perhaps a succubus…?”
“You’ll see more incredible things later, so be mentally prepared. So, Lily, how long can this magic circle last?”
“As long as the mana supply is maintained, the effect will continue… My mana is abundant, so it can last for three months like this.”
“That’s good.”
With that, half of the preparations were complete.
Next, I still need to… Oh, right, I almost forgot about the medicine and treatment.
“By the way, Lily, can you help treat Ai? She injured her ankle.”
For some reason, Lily became overly enthusiastic and immediately leaned down towards Ai’s foot, scaring Ai.
It doesn’t feel like she’s treating it—blowing hot air on Ai’s foot with her tongue out!
Saliva is about to drip. Is she supposed to be healing it or licking her feet!
Judging by her state, I suspect she’s probably horny again, and clearly, she’s been holding it in for a long time.
When she tutored me before, she would often lose focus and look at me with a resentful gaze.
It made me feel like I had done something wrong every time.
I freed her, yet she complained. What kind of logic is that?
According to the Principal, it’s ‘desire without an outlet.’ But even I, who has rendered the contract effectively null, can’t help her ‘release’ it. I can’t possibly go and beat her up, right? As a result, she naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.
After all, in Lily’s eyes now, Ai is the same as me and still under the master-slave contract, which can provide her with a sense of satisfaction. Well, no matter what, ‘it has nothing to do with me.’
“Is… Is something wrong? Um, let go of my foot, let’s talk properly…”
“I have a request. Can you… call me Teacher a few more times? Ah, no! Don’t call me Teacher! Haah, this hateful expression is wonderful!”
“Ughhhhh…”
Ah, I feel like I should leave for a while… Something terrible is about to happen—
“Mmm– I’ll go buy some drinks first. You two continue, you two continue… Speaking of which, Ai has quite a bit of ‘experience’ in this regard… Hmm.”
“Continue your head! Hurry back and help me! Wait, Teacher! Don’t pull down my pants! I’m not wearing any underwear!”
“Hey, no! You’ll get the school uniform dirty!”
“It’s okay, I’ll wash it for you… both the uniform and your body…”
“Don’t lick the soles of my feet, uh! Wait, not there, ah, ahh… Aaaahhh!”
Listening to the sounds that made my face flush, I closed the door.
“I wish you happiness, Ai.”
“Mmm, let’s go to Black Street again. Eddie, that night owl is probably still awake. I’ll ask him for some equipment…”
“Hmm? Why did you stop talking?”
“Ah… I didn’t expect Lily to suddenly… Ah…”
“I trusted you so much! And yet you!”
“Ahem, it was my fault… Please forgive me, okay?”
I coaxed my younger sister, my teacher, my girlfriend, but I don’t know how to coax myself…
“…Later, I’ll get you back a hundredfold! You remember that!”
“Okay, okay~”
Oh, right. I don’t need to coax myself at all.
Then I’ll just wait for her revenge~ Heh. It’s quite interesting~
