บท 86: Chapter 86 : Body Swap ll

"It's time to wake up, Akira-sama," Sera said, gently shaking Akira to rouse him. "Everyone is waiting for you to join for breakfast."

"Five more minutes, Yotsuha," Akira mumbled, pulling the bed cover over his head in an attempt to go back to sleep.

"I am not Yotsuha, Akira-sama," Sera responded, a hint of displeasure in her tone. She hadn't expected Akira to mistake her name right after they'd shared an intimate evening together. "It's me, Seraphim. You really need to get up now, so you can eat before school."

With a gentle but persistent pout, Seraphim took hold of the bedcover and pulled it off Akira, successfully waking him up.

"Good morning, Yotsuha," Akira said, rubbing his eyes before turning to look at Seraphim. His sudden shock caused him to stumble off the bed and fall to the floor. "Who… who are you?!"

"…" Akira stared at Seraphim with caution, then surveyed the room in bewilderment before looking at himself, incredulous.

"Akira-sama, who are you?" Seraphim asked, frowning. She could tell that the person before her wasn't really Akira.

"Akira-sama? I don't know anyone by that name," Akira replied, shaking his head as he looked at Seraphim curiously. He muttered with a touch of envy, "This dream feels strange, but I'll admit, this girl named Seraphim has a rather enviable figure."

"This isn't a dream," Seraphim sighed, exasperated. "Typical of Akira-sama—always finding ways to end up in trouble, even while asleep."

"Not a dream? Then are you saying this is all real?" Akira scoffed, seeming unconvinced that he was experiencing reality. 'So, does this mean my dream of becoming a handsome guy in Tokyo has finally come true?'

"Come with me," Sera said, pulling Akira along as she led him out of the room. It was better to explain the situation to everyone and get their input on what was going on.

The reason she hadn't just killed the person now occupying her beloved master's body was simple: she couldn't bear to harm Akira's body, no matter who was inside. Besides, she could sense a disturbance in the space-time continuum surrounding Akira's body, which indicated that Akira himself had likely been transported to another place and time, not killed.

"So, are you saying that you went to sleep last night and woke up in Akira-sama's body, Mitsuha-san?" Misuzu asked after everyone had gathered, and Mitsuha explained all that she knew.

"Yes, that's right," Mitsuha nodded, feeling slightly tense. Everyone was staring at her like hawks, which only added to her nervousness.

"Do you have any idea why you're in Akira's body?" Mahiru asked, gazing at Mitsuha, who looked as nervous as a kitten. She couldn't believe Akira could look so soft and gentle.

"No…" Mitsuha replied after a moment's thought. She didn't know anyone named Akira, let alone someone who lived in a completely different city.

"But this is a real problem. We can't just let her wander around aimlessly in Akira-sama's body without knowing anything," Seraphim said, worriedly looking at Mitsuha, who seemed clueless about the situation.

"Is there something I should know?" Mitsuha asked anxiously, sensing that whatever she was about to hear could turn her entire ordinary life upside down.

"…" Seraphim looked around at the others in silence, unable to make this decision on her own.

"I think it's best we tell her about Akira," Mahiru suggested. "It would be dangerous for her to go out in Akira's body without knowing anything."

Although telling her the truth wouldn't entirely eliminate the danger, it would at least help her mentally prepare for what lay ahead. It was better than leaving her completely in the dark.

"You're right, Mahiru," Seraphim agreed, nodding toward Mahiru before turning her attention back to Mitsuha. "Tell us, Mitsuha—how much do you know about the supernatural world?"

"Um…" Mitsuha was puzzled by the question but answered truthfully.

Despite living in a rural town, Mitsuha was aware of the existence of other races and supernatural powers. Knowledge of the supernatural world wasn't a complete secret, and Mitsuha knew as much about it as any other ordinary person.

"I see… In that case, let me tell you a little about Akira-sama—the person whose body you're currently inhabiting," Seraphim began, as she was the most knowledgeable in the room about Akira's identity within the supernatural world. "First, Akira-sama's full name is Nifuji Akira, and he's a descendant of The Fifth Primogenitor, which makes him a vampire. Additionally, he is also known as The Fourth Primogenitor, reputed to be the strongest vampire in the world."

"…" Mitsuha stared at Seraphim in shock, not expecting to find herself body-swapped with someone of such significance. She listened intently as Seraphim continued, knowing this information was crucial, especially given the uncertainty of when this bizarre phenomenon might end.

Mitsuha wasn't the only one listening closely; everyone else in the room also paid attention with curiosity. Most of them weren't fully aware of Akira's status in the supernatural world.

'As I thought, choosing to accompany Akira outside the tower was the best decision I ever made,' Yuri thought, pleased, as she listened to Seraphim's explanation. Seraphim went on to detail the supernatural world, Akira's identity, and, most importantly, his enemies and potential threats that might target him. This was crucial information for Mitsuha, as Akira's body still retained over 90% of his original power—apart from abilities directly tied to Akira's soul, which Mitsuha, unfortunately, had no idea how to utilize.
