Yuki’s tone turned sly, teasing like a poke to the ribs. – ‘How old are you?’
Yui stiffened, arms crossing tightly as she hesitated. – “Why are you asking? Twenty-five.”
Yuki’s voice sharpened, half-scolding. – ‘Don’t lie. I’m twenty-five. If you’re twenty-five yet look younger because of me, how can you be the same age? …Wait, I’m not a boy—you can tell your real age.’
Yui sighed and turned away, cheeks puffing in embarrassment. – “Th-thirty.”
Yuki sighed, disappointed. – ‘I thought you were different from other ladies, but you’re not. …Okay, can you give me control? I want to talk outside.’
Yui folded her arms tightly. – “Huh? Why would I give my body to you? And why?”
Yuki answered with breezy nonchalance. – ‘Just for a moment—I want to test something.’
Yui sighed again, giving control, thinking Yuki wouldn’t listen anyway. A jolt as a weird flicker crossed their minds.
Yuki let out a bored sigh. – ‘Ah, shit… I thought my face would show up, but it’s still yours.’
Yui shot her a glare, jaw clenched. – “What’s with that dull reply? Of course it’s my body. My face is the one that shows.”
Yuki burst into a mischievous laugh. – ‘Okay, okay—here, take it back.’
Yui frowned with clear irritation. – “Seriously, your laugh is creepy. You’re a weird girl—why do you laugh like that?”
Yuki relented, voice playful. – ‘Take control—it’s your body.’
A jolt ran through their minds for a millisecond.
– “You’re definitely a weird girl. What are you trying to do?”
Yuki broke into a giggle, high-pitched and off-beat. – ‘Ha ha ha…’
Yui narrowed her eyes, her tone sharp. – “First, stop that bloody laugh. Just laugh naturally.”
– ‘Now I’ve confirmed one thing. I think you didn't notice it.’
Yui blinked rapidly, confusion slipping in with a frown. – “Huh! What do you confirm?”
Yuki let out a small smirk in her tone, laced with mischief. – ‘When I take control and laugh openly outside, your body also laughs. But when you're in control, even if I laugh, your mouth doesn’t move.’
Yui waved a hand, shrugging. – “So what? Maybe when you’re in control of my body, it reacts to your actions. When I take control, it reacts to my actions. But ultimately, I’m the one who controls.”
Yuki’s voice softened with a grin. – ‘Don’t boost yourself. Okay, you’re the one who can control. But I’m saying… even if I get shocked inside, unless we’re both shocked at the same time… no one outside sees our reactions.’
Yui groaned and looked away. – “Stop with your plays. I’m worried about you… but you're playing games with my body?”
Yuki’s voice dropped with a cunning lilt. – ‘Please give me control.’
Yui sighed under her breath. ‘Shit… why did you get into my body?’
Yuki chuckled low and sly, her voice dripping with mischief. – ‘Hey, I can hear your thoughts too. Come on, give me control.’
For a fraction of a millisecond, a strange flicker ran through their minds. (It happens every time when they switch.)
Yuki snickered and brought one hand up to grope Yui’s chest. With the other, she slowly began lifting the coat—fingers twitching, about to squ—
