Izumi: Hmm~...... I think I get it. I’m still not convinced at all, but I’ve caught the gist of what happened.

‘Body-swapping’, huh. How’d you end up in that sort of stupid situation?


Makoto: Yes. We came here wanting to explain that. We, however, were not expecting Sena-senpai to be here…...

We were hoping that Ritsu-senpai would help us.


Ritsu: Hmm~, me? I suppose I am a vampire who exists beyond common sense, so I have knowledge and understanding of this sort of incomprehensible phenomenon ♪

I’m feeling tired from ‘Knights’ activities increasing so quickly, though.

My cute juniors were thinking I would be able to help them…… In any case, we’re free now, so Secchan might be able to help come up with a solution as well.


Izumi: Hah? “In any case, we’re free now,” did you say? Can’t you see that I’m focusing on my personal training?

Well, whatever. Putting Kasa-kun aside for the moment, I’m worried about Yuu-kun, so I want to get this sorted without wasting any more time. Let’s finish this quickly, shall we?

And plus, it seems there’s not much use in me complaining about it, is there?

First of all, let’s get things straight. Um……. you’re Kasa-kun?


Makoto: Yes. There’s no need to confirm that, though. I’m sure every action of mine exudes elegance ♪


Izumi: Is that right? If that half-wit Kasa-kun was actually behaving elegantly, I’d be doubting the legitimacy of this body swap.


Tsukasa: ……! You- how far will you go to belittle oth―


Makoto: Don’t be so disrespectful! Please correct yourself, Sena-senpai! With what you just said, you’ve not only tarnished mine but the honour of the entire Suou family!

You think so too, don’t you, Yuuki-senpai? It’s awful, isn’t it, that every single time……. this person is far more condescending than is necessary!


Tsukasa: Eh? A-ah, yeah……?

…...Th-that’s right! You’ll be misunderstood and hated because of how cynical you are, Izumi-san!


Izumi: Hmph…… Being hated by someone won’t bother me at all? I know I’m the best.


Makoto: Just where do you get that confidence from…..?


Izumi: You’re too noisy. Let's get back to the topic at hand. And you’re…… Yuu-kun?


Tsukasa: Yes! Ah I mean, yep…… I’m Izumi-san’s beloved ‘Yuu-kun’! I think you should spoil me lots!


Izumi: Hah? I thought you hated me spoiling you as your onii-chan.

You keep changing what you’re saying…… it’s confusing, you know?

So in other words, what exactly did you want me to do? Get to the point. Soo~ annoying!


Ritsu: (Ah, Secchan’s starting to lose patience……)

(That guy’s act is falling apart faster than I thought. I wonder if it’d be better if we moved on faster?)

Come on now…… I get that it’s confusing, but it’s no use arguing with your friends, you know. First, we’ll need to do something about this troublesome situation, won’t we?

They must have some reason in coming to me for help, so I’ll listen to their whole story……

So could Secchan shut up and not make any unnecessary remarks for the time being?


Izumi: Fine fine. Well it seems this has nothing to do with me, so I can go home, right?


Tsukasa: Y-you can’t go home Izumi-san. It’ll be troubling for us since we won’t be able to carry out ou―


Makoto: Hm. Then I will humbly be the one to explain the situation.

This situation began this morning in the nap room when I was sleeping together with Yuuki-senpai―


Izumi: And stop! What was that, why were the two of you sleeping together?

How cruel, Yuu-kun, doing that even though you hate your onii-chan and avoid him like he’s some bug!


Makoto: …... I do not really think he hates you. It is probably just the fact that he finds all the clingy and illogical skinship you lay on him strange.


Tsukasa: Well, to be honest, I do think it’s a bit weird for men to be overly touchy with each other.

We didn’t have a choice this time, though- the futons in the nap room were all taken.


Makoto: Yes. We were in different futons at first, but the moment we rolled over, we ended up sleeping next to each other.

It was an accident, and definitely not my intention.


Izumi: Hey, hold on a sec? Before that, what’s the nap room?

We have something like that?

I know that if you got permission beforehand you could stay overnight at the school for lessons and things, but I thought it was just setting a rental futon in an empty classroom and sleeping there, wasn’t it?


Ritsu: Ah, Anzu had it implemented properly a little while ago.

She built a proper system for staying overnight at school, approached the student council with it, and got permission.

As for the school faculty, knowing that everyone who was staying back would all be in one place would make managing it easier.

It seems that Ecchan gave permission, along with a few conditions.

One of the empty classrooms would be designated as the nap room, and after all sorts of adjustments were made, it was opened to the public.

You need to pay a small fee to stay, but it’s not a lot of money.

The futons and stuff are regularly washed by the ‘school’s part-timers’, so it’s clean and it’s quiet…...

The air conditioning is also perfect so you can sleep really comfortably- I use it a lot.


Izumi: Hmm. Anzu’s done a lot of things, hasn’t she, even though she probably didn’t have much time to spare, with it being just before the ‘SS’ and all.

Well whatever, now I know we have this sort of facility. Personally, I think something like that’s pretty helpful and convenient.

But really, Kuma-kun…… You’re always sleeping so peacefully somewhere out in the open.

I always thought it would be better for you to rest properly in a warm futon?


Ritsu: Mm yeah. Anzu thought the same, so she said the first few times I used the nap room were free.

That she would pay for me for now.

She said something about it being better than me sleeping outside somewhere and catching a cold. Words like that really make you feel grateful, don’t they? Kindness is everywhere…... ♪
