Chapter 112 – Soul Transfer
[Haa……ee!? This voice]
[No way……eeeeeeeeee!]
There’s no mistake. I wanted to quickly check my appearance on a mirror. But since it’s not originally my body, the way it moves was different and thus making it hard for me to even walk properly! Before I knew it, I was tumbling with my feet tangling to each other….really. What the hell was going on!?
[I’m now Roxy!? Eeeeeee!!]
I involuntarily yelled after confirming my appearance.
[Eh! Eh! Eeeeee…..]
I walked around the room round and round, trying to calm myself down. But the feeling wouldn’t died down. In the end, I laid down on the carpeted floor. Overwhelmed.
[Kyah]
[It’s real! What now, what now]
[Kyah, I’m going to be assaulted by myself!]
[Calm down. You are Fate, aren’t you?]
[Nn? ……could it be, Roxy?]
[Yes]
[We’ve]
[We have]
[ [ …….switched bodies ] ]
Roxy who was in my appearance, got up. And then, offered me her hand.
[Now, get up. It’s not healthy to sleep on the floor.]
[Yesterday, I was still myself when I went to sleep. But when I woke up, I’ve become Fai. Turns out Fai like to thrash around while sleeping, eh? I woke up after falling from the bed.]
[Ahahaha, I’m not a calm sleeper indeed. Leaving that aside, a similar thing happened to me too.]
[U～n, is that so? Could it be perhaps, this had something to do with that mysterious magic diagram at the hobgoblin forest?]
[Yeah…..most likely. That time I and Roxy were struck by that red light although for a short time.]
Roxy came closer to me.
[You are right! The light was meant to switch our body to each other. But the effect did not appear immediately because Fai attacked and forced it stop midway.]
[U～n, the switch was probably supposed to happen right at that place.]
Me and Roxy……when I think about it, I got scared.
[I think that’s not the real aim. Maybe, they were trying to replace us with the goblins?]
[If so, then it’s even more dangerous. Fortunately I switched with Roxy. I can’t imagine if it’s with a goblin]
[I also feel fortunate that I switched with Fai. I really hate those goblins]
[I am a bit troubled by this sudden body switching. My heart is not prepared for this…]
[Me too….]
[Maybe, Raine might have a clue about that mysterious magic diagram, and this strange occurrence. Let’s go meet her immediately.]
[Yes, let us go. But before that!]
Roxy grabbed my shoulder tightly.
[Eh, what!?]
[Please come here]
Saying so, he brought me to the front of a closet. She opened the closet door and extracted her holy knight uniform.
[Yes, we are ready. Please close your eyes.]
[Close my eyes!?]
[That’s right! It will be embarrassing if you were to see my naked body. Just in case, let me just put a blindfold on you.]
[Hyaaa!]
[Fai, please don’t make strange voice with my body.]
[It’s because this body is more sensitive than my original body…]
[Moou, don’t say that!]
[This is somewhat…..tiring.]
[We are going to meet Raine, how dare you to show up just like this! It’s not over yet. Next, come over here.]
This time around, she sat me down in front of the dressing table then proceeded to comb my hair. It actually felt pleasant.
[How nice]
[It is something we always do though. Being a girl is this hard.]
[Is that so?]
[Yes it is, we are done now!]
[Well then, let us go to Fai’s abode next, I need to change clothes as… well….]
[Un, that’s…..right…..]
[Fate, Roxy……I don’t want to say much about the two of you, but seeing what happened here just now…. I think it’s better if you two stop doing it. There is that thing called rule and order. Suddenly barging in, pushing her down, then changing clothes while blindfolded. As your mother, I’m surprised to know that my daughter has such a hidden hobby!]
[Mother, it’s a misunderstanding!!]
Roxy jumped in and desperately tried to explain to Aisha-sama. But it was in vain, since she’s approaching Aisha-sama while still in my appearance. This instead upset Aisha-sama.
[Fate, you.. Where are you touching, aaaaa! What’s the matter!? Are you not satisfied with Roxy only and decided to go after me either….I’m sorry, my dear husband…what are you trying to do to me!]
[So that’s why. Moou, that surprised me. I thought Fate was going to attack me because he wanted both the daughter and mother. It’s been a while, so I got a bit excited.]
[Aisha-sama, please stop for a moment]
[It’s the parent-child skinship. You see, we are parents and child even if only in body. Even if you don’t want to I still won’t stop.]
[Kyaaaaa, help me. Don’t, you are touching my butt!]
Roxy was also annoyed at Aisha-sama’s antics. Especially since she just had to do it in this time of emergency. But apparently most of all, she didn’t want me to make weird expression while I’m still inside her body.
Roxy jumped at her mother once more, all of us ended up rolling on the bed.
[Mother, please do not play around in times like this.]
[Stop, Fate. My heart still belongs to my husband.]
[Gununu…..mother. At the moment, I am in Fai’s body!]
[Aisha-sama, this is a bit too much.]
[Pardon me. I didn’t know that you are in such a relationship….I won’t tell anyone of what I saw just now. Excuse me!]
=====
[O Fate, it seems that you are involved in something weird once more.]
[Yes, to think I’d switch bodies with Roxy..]
[This may proven to be bad, since you are using the body of a well known holy knight. No one else other than us here, and Aisha and Haru at the heart mansion, should know of this matter. Once you arrive at the military district, you should refrain from acting strange. Remember, you are currently Roxy Heart.]
[I’ll be careful.]
[Fate-sama….]
[It’ll be alright! I’ll be back soon. Until then, I leave the mansion to you.]
[Yes, I’ll do my best!]
[Well then, I’m going.]
With Aaron and Shara seeing us off, we began to stride towards the military district. Along the way, I asked Roxy about the short conversation she had with Mimir, in which she responded with a smile.
[Mimir is not being honest, isn’t she? I think she’s worried. She asked me take care of Fate-sama.]
[I see….. So Mimir did that….]
[Everyone, please do your best as per usual!]
[Let us go!]
[What is wrong?]
[You are not Roxy at the moment, you are me.]
[Ah, right. Now that you mention it, I almost forgot. I am Fate Barbatos at the moment.]
[How about it? Very close resemble isn’t it? I have always watched Fai. You always walk like this]
[That’s not how I always walk.]
[So this is how it feels like to have this]
[EEeeeee]
