Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow in surprise, unaware that the girl in the video had been replaced by a different soul.

"Kiyono-san, I... I'm Shoko!"

Nishimiya Shoko looked flustered and timid, appearing pitiful, weak, and helpless.

"When I woke up, I didn't know why, but I suddenly became Yukinoshita-san."

"..."

Seeing the girl's panicked expression in the video, Kiyono Makoto was already mostly convinced.

Yukino Yukinoshita has a cool and aloof personality, so she would never play such a prank, much less show such a weak and helpless expression.

"Next, I will ask you a few questions. Answer them quickly to prove your identity."

Kiyono Makoto interlaced his fingers and looked at the girl in the video.

"Uh-huh."

The girl, who was originally aloof and elegant, has now become exceptionally well-behaved, and nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.

What is your sister's name?

"Yuzuru".

What is the name of the swimming pool where you learn to swim?

"Hoshinomori Swimming Pool".

"Do you have a crush on any boys?"

Nishimiya Shoko answered instinctively:

"Have……"

Chapter 155 The Meek Girl Yukinoshita

"I like Seino..."

Nishimiya Shoko answered instinctively.

"Eh?"

Halfway through her sentence, Shoko quickly realized what she was saying, hurriedly raised her hand to cover her pink lips, and lowered her head in a panic, no longer daring to look at the camera.

The girl's fair and jade-like face quickly flushed red, and in the blink of an eye, it was as red as fire.

"..."

Kiyono Makoto's gentle voice rang out:

"It's confirmed that you are Shoko."

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably swapped souls with Yukinoshita. It's most likely a side effect of the Destiny Earring... Check your current location on your phone first."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly picked up her phone and stammered shyly as she answered:

"That... in Chiba City? Is it a mixed-use enterprise?"

Makoto Kiyono: "Take the train directly back to Tokyo, and we'll pick you up at the station."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

After ending the call with Shoko, Kiyono Makoto promptly sent a message to Yukino. Upon seeing Yukino's message, he had no more doubts.

It can actually cause people to swap bodies... That's quite an exaggerated side effect.

"Then, let's go to the tram station."

Kiyono Makoto quickly changed his clothes and hurried out the door.

After half an hour.

Shinjuku Station.

Upon arriving at the agreed meeting point, Kiyono Makoto looked up and saw a cute girl with waist-length hair standing in the corner, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

It was Nishimiya Shoko... I misspoke, it should be Yukino Yukinoshita now.

"Ok?"

Yukino Yukinoshita stood alone in a corner, her arms crossed over her chest. She seemed to have just been approached, and her pretty face quickly turned cold when she noticed someone approaching.

But upon seeing that the person who came was Kiyono Makoto, the coldness on the girl's face quickly dissipated, and a faint blush quickly rose to her cheeks.

Separated for only half a day, in the settlement space, the shameful scene of overestimating her abilities to challenge water magic surged into her mind again. Even Yukino Yukinoshita felt a rare urge to run away in shame.

"good afternoon."

Kiyono Makoto quickly walked up to Yukino Yukinoshita and asked curiously:

"What name should we call you now?"

"good afternoon."

Yukino Yukinoshita slightly averted her gaze, her voice still Shoko's, but the originally gentle and pleasant tone now inexplicably carried a hint of coldness and aloofness:

"Just call me Yukinoshita."

Seino Makoto nodded:

"Besides soul swapping, are there any other side effects?"

“That’s all.” Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath, her slender fingers pressing against her brow. “This one side effect alone is already a huge headache.”

Kiyono Makoto casually remarked:

"Fortunately, it's you and Shoko who swapped bodies, so it's not a big problem. If it were the two of us, it would be very troublesome no matter how you look at it."

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly bit her lower lip, the scene of her soul being swapped with a boy involuntarily flashing through her mind, and she immediately took a half step back in alarm:

"I will never wear the Destiny Earring with Kiyono-kun again!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Makoto Kiyono spread his hands:

"Side effects are likely random; you were just unlucky."

"..."

After exchanging a few casual words, the two quickly ran out of things to say.

To be precise, it was Yukino Yukinoshita, overcome with shame, who unilaterally ended the chat and turned her head to look elsewhere.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere was broken shortly afterward.

A girl with a high ponytail, wearing a shirt and a short skirt, walked out with the crowd.

"We are here."

Kiyono Makoto waved in acknowledgment.

"..."

Upon seeing a familiar face, Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up instantly, and a genuine, bright, and gentle smile appeared on her pretty face. She covered her skirt with her hands and ran over in a flash.

Seeing "herself" running towards her, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened slightly, and a complex expression flashed across her pretty face.

"...How could I possibly have such a bright smile on my face?"

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her right arm over her chest, her fingers secretly pinching her left arm, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

As a girl, Yukinoshita naturally has a habit of looking in the mirror often, but she doesn't know how long it has been since she saw her own smile in the mirror.

He usually walks alone, without friends or social interaction, always by himself... as if smiles are completely unnecessary in his life.

If I had to say, I'd probably only be happy when I'm feeding stray cats.

"Kiyono-kun."

Nishimiya Shoko took small steps to stand in front of the two, tilting her pretty face slightly upwards. Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, a bright light that Yukino Yukinoshita had never seen in herself before.

Kiyono Makoto said gently:

"Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

“No, I got here very smoothly.” Nishimiya Shoko quickly shook her head. Her originally clear and pleasant voice had become noticeably gentler. She turned to look at 'herself' with a subtle expression. “…Yukinoshita-san, I’m sorry to have troubled you.”

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke calmly:

"It's not Shoko's fault, so there's no need to apologize."

Noticing that people were occasionally glancing over, Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her beautiful lips and whispered a suggestion:

"Shall we go sit in the coffee shop next door for a while?"

"Uh-huh."

Nisuko nodded quickly.

Kiyono Makoto naturally had no objections and followed the two girls into the cafe.

A moment later.

The three of them sat down by the window.

Before we knew it, it was already past five o'clock. The setting sun cast a gentle silhouette on the table.

Seino Makoto sat alone, while Nishimiya Shoko and Yukinoshita sat opposite him.

"Guests, your coffee."

A waitress quickly brought in the coffee.

"Thank you."

Yukino Yukinoshita politely thanked them.

"Ok?"

Looking at the three cups of coffee on the table, Kiyono Makoto felt a slight stirring in his heart, and a strong sense of déjà vu suddenly surged into his mind.

Is this... the scene in the photo?
