Just how much trouble does a gender-bend girl have to deal with? Yakumo Mikoto had a very deep understanding of this. From small things like being careful not to walk into the wrong restroom, to big things like interacting and dealing with the feelings of male and female classmates. In short, all sorts of problems kept popping up in her daily life.
However, today... Mikoto was facing a truly massive crisis.
"Hey, Mikoto... how do you clasp this?"
In front of her eyes was Yatogami Tohka's smooth, bare back. The girl was completely topless, with the only thing ant to cover her modesty being a pink bra. Because it had a back clasp, Tohka—who had absolutely no idea how to use a bra—couldn't get it hooked properly no matter how hard she tried.
[Calm down. Stay calm. You are a girl too, Mikoto. You are a girl too.]
She had seen girls's bare bodies plenty of tis now, whether it was her own, or her female classmates in the locker room before gym class. But being alone in a room with a girl like Tohka, and having to teach her how to put on a bra... it was simply way too much stimulation for Mikoto.
"Umm... let just clasp it for you."
It couldn't be helped. No matter how much she tried to explain it with words, the hopelessly clueless Tohka just couldn't clasp the hooks on her back. If this kept going, Kotori—who was watching from the Fraxinus—would get suspicious. After all, if she were a normal girl, she would just help Tohka put it on without overthinking it.
Understanding that she had no choice, a heavily blushing Mikoto walked behind Tohka and hooked the bra for her with her own hands.
While desperately trying to suppress her racing heartbeat, Mikoto scread inside her mind:
[Shido— you— idiot—!!!]

Rewinding the ti to a few minutes ago...
As the weather gradually grew warr, the day to change into sumr school uniforms finally arrived. After eating breakfast, following Kotori's request, Shido decided to walk to school with Tohka.
[We went through all the trouble to have her move in next door and beco your classmate. There's no reason to waste the 'Walking to School' event, right?]
Since his cute little sister put it like that, Shido headed over to the Spirit apartnt with Mikoto. Tohka looked very pretty in her sumr uniform. However, the thin clothing also exposed a hidden issue that hadn't been noticed before.
"Tohka... you did put that on properly, right?"
"That?"
"Your b... bra."
"Bra? What is that?"
When Shido asked about the bra, Tohka's answer left everyone present completely speechless.
[It can't be helped. Shido, you go help her put it on.] Kotori's voice ca through the earpiece.
"M... ?"
[Who else is there? Stop complaining and go! You're going to be late.] Kotori urged.
"Guh..."
Shido hesitated for a mont. Suddenly, his eyes locked onto Mikoto.
"Umm, Yakumo-senpai, please help Tohka put on her bra!"
Like grabbing onto a lifeline, Shido grabbed Mikoto's hands and begged.
[Of course he gets smart at a ti like this.] Kotori's dissatisfied voice ca through the earpiece. It was like watching her prey jump right over the trap she had carefully prepared.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered letting Mikoto help Tohka, but Kotori wanted to use this chance to train Shido's immunity toward girls. But it seed she had failed.
"Ehhhh?"
Faced with this sudden plot twist, Mikoto also made a shocked face.
[Wait, Shido! You know I was a guy before crossing over!]
Because Tohka and Kotori were present, Mikoto could only communicate with Shido through eye contact.
[It's fine! You're a girl right now, Senpai!]
[Guh... Why at a ti like this... Shido, you're too sneaky!]
[Call sneaky if you want, but you know...]
[But what?]
[The true friendship of boys lies in the fine line between selling out your friends and being sold out! Prepare yourself, Senpai!]
"Tohka! Kotori says the bra is in your room. Let Yakumo-senpai help you put it on. If we don't hurry, we'll be late!"
"Eh? W-Wait..."
"Mhm... Although I'd prefer Shido to help , Mikoto is fine too, for this thing called a bra."
It was too late. No matter what she said, it was too late. Along with Shido's completely treacherous words, poor Mikoto was dragged into the apartnt by Tohka.
Right before the front door closed, the very last thing she saw was Shido giving her a thumbs-up, his eyes saying: [Farewell, my comrade!]
[Did I take it a bit too far?]
Sitting in the classroom, Shido rested his head on his desk and thought it over. Even though guys throwing each other under the bus was a daily occurrence...
[Yakumo-senpai is a girl, after all. She might actually be angry.]
Mikoto was different. He couldn't just sell her out completely guilt-free like he could with his best friend, Tonomachi. Thinking about this, Shido regretted his careless actions from earlier.
[Yeah, I'll go apologize during lunch.] Shido decided.
But very soon, a completely unexpected event ruthlessly shattered Shido's pace.
During horoom, Tama-chan-sensei suddenly announced that a new transfer student was joining the class.
It was a young girl whose beauty could rival that of Tohka and Mikoto. She had long black hair, wore the winter uniform jacket with black tights, and stood quietly at the front of the class like a shadow.
Under her long bangs, for so reason, she wore a dical eyepatch over her left eye.
The girl elegantly wrote the words "Tokisaki Kurumi" on the chalkboard, and then spoke in a loud, clear voice:
"My na is Tokisaki Kurumi...and...I am—a Spirit."
[!!!]
In an instant, Shido felt like his heart had been grabbed.
Was it just because he overreacted to the word "Spirit", or was he imagining it? Shido felt like the girl nad Kurumi was looking right at him.
"Umm... that's a very unique self-introduction."
Noticing that Kurumi didn't plan to say anything else, Tama-chan-sensei clapped her hands to wrap things up.
"Well then, Tokisaki-san, please take the empty seat to the left of Itsuka-kun. Is that okay?"
"Yes. But before that, I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
Kurumi held up a single finger and said, "Because I just transferred to this school, I don't know anything about it. Even if it's after school, it's fine. I was hoping soone could show around."
"Ah, that's true. Then the Class Representative..."
"No need to trouble the Class Rep."
Normally, showing a new student around was the Class Rep's job, but Kurumi politely refused.
"Eh?"
"Although I don't know the school... I happen to have an acquaintance in this class."
In an instant, the classroom boiled over. Just who could a beautiful girl like Kurumi possibly know? This beca the center of everyone's attention, and Shido was no exception.
Under the gazes of everyone in the room, Kurumi elegantly walked over to the empty desk to Shido's left. She gently put down her school bag, turned her head to look at Shido, and said:
"It's been five years, hasn't it, Shido-san."(TL:yes,I love this change in the story,this is super cool to see a fanfic take this route)
