Scene: Morning – The Araki Residence
Machio (in Tachibana's body) tiptoed across the living room, holding up her sleep-shirt like it was a cursed artifact. His face was flushed crimson as he muttered:
"I have boobs. They jiggle when I move. This is a nightmare."
From the other side of the couch, Tachibana (in Machio's body) stared into the bathroom mirror, flexing biceps.
"Okay. Not gonna lie. I look hot."
Then she glanced lower.
"…but why is it twitching again?! STOP THAT!!"
Knock knock knock!
"Machio, breakfast! You promised to help me braid Kira's hair!" called a cheerful womanly voice.
"Crap! It's your mom!" Tachibana hissed.
"You have to act like me!" Machio whisper-yelled. "No weird flexing! Don't glare! Don't accidentally flash your abs!"
"Flash your abs, you mean!" she shot back.
Too late. The door opened.
Azumi Araki stood there with a tray and a raised brow.
Tachibana froze.
"G-good morning, mother," she said stiffly.
Azumi squinted.
"…Since when do you say 'mother' and stand like a yakuza boss?"
Kira peeked from behind her.
"Onii-chan's aura is scary today…"
Tachibana tried to smile. It came out like a murder threat.
Meanwhile, Machio—inside Tachibana—tripped over a cushion, fell flat, and the shirt rode up just enough to flash panties.
Azumi blinked.
Kira blinked.
Tachibana screamed.
"DON'T LOOK!!!"

Scene: The Walk to School
"I swear to God, if I feel you bounce while walking, I will end you," Tachibana muttered, dragging Machio by the sleeve.
"I'm trying to keep them still!" he whined.
Then—
"Yo! Tachibana!" A smug voice called out.
It was Matsumi, Machio's ex.
"Nice thighs today, babe. Oh? You with your little boyfriend again?"
Machio (in Tachibana's body) turned, seething.
"You—!"
But he tripped on a rock again and landed with a bounce. Matsumi's eyes lit up.
"Wait a sec… something's different. You're clumsier. And your hips are swaying like—"
She leaned close, narrowed her eyes, and smirked.
"...You're not Tachibana. You're Machio, aren't you?"
Machio froze.
"What—No—I mean—Yes?!"
Tachibana (in Machio's body) facepalmed.
Then—
"HEY~!" A loud voice interrupted.
Anzu-senpai, the blonde bombshell school nurse, leapt from a nearby bush for absolutely no reason.
She hugged Machio (a.k.a. Tachibana in his body) from behind.
"You said you'd let me lick your abs again today~!"
"GET OFF ME YOU DERANGED NURSE!!" Tachibana screamed, trying to push her away, horrified at the full-body contact.
From a rooftop, Nariyuki blinked.
"…Something's off with Tachibana."

Scene: Lunch – The Rooftop
Machio and Tachibana sat on opposite ends, lunch untouched.
"I can't handle your hormones," Machio whined, holding his cheeks. "I saw a guy bite into a banana and nearly fainted."
Tachibana, rubbing her temples, groaned.
"Anzu kissed my neck, your mom winked at me, and I peed standing up. I need therapy."
Then—
A gust of petals.
A shadow fell over them.
Veronica von Eisgrube landed in her usual swirling cape and thigh-highs, licking a strawberry popsicle like a vampire idol.
"Well well well…" she purred, eyes gleaming.
"How's the swap, my little lovebirds?"
"FIX IT!" they both screamed.
Veronica leaned in, smiling wickedly.
"Maybe I will... if you beg."
She traced a finger down Machio's (Tachibana's) collarbone.
"Or maybe…" she turned to Tachibana (in Machio's body), trailing up her bicep, "…you two learn to appreciate your new forms first."
Both stiffened.
[ALERT: Threesome Route – Tsundere Vampire Queen Edition – Potential Activated]
"Veronica!!" Machio shouted.
"Oh hush," she said sweetly. "I always wanted to know what kissing myself felt like."
She leaned toward Tachibana (in Machio's body). Lips barely an inch away.
"I'm going to enjoy this."
But just before she could close the distance—
BANG!
A loud crash. The rooftop door exploded open.
"KIRA-SAMA HAS ARRIVED!!"
Tachibana's little brother—cosplaying as an anime ninja—charged in, swinging foam swords.
"BEGONE, GOTH WOMAN!!"
Veronica got bonked in the head.
"…ow."
Kira puffed his cheeks. "You can't seduce my brother and my brother-sister at the same time!"
"…brother-sister?" Machio and Tachibana said in unison.
They blinked at each other.
Then screamed again.
