After dinner, I had some alone time in my room.
To be precise, I was not completely alone because Saya, who possessed me, was with me.
“Hey, if you’re just reading books like that, would you lend me your cell phone?”
“Why a cell phone?”
“There’s nothing to do here, and I’m bored.”
“okay.”
At her request, I threw the smartphone out of my pocket.
Although it is a ghost, it seems that it is okay to touch the cell phone, so she grabbed the smartphone and worked hard on something.
“what! No wifi here?!”
I answered as I turned the bookshelf.
“It’s in the mountains.”
「Uh… .”
She gritted her teeth in anger and started fiddling with other things.
Anyway, since I usually only used my smartphone to the extent of watching games or watching videos, there was no such thing as dangerous when seen by others.
It had been a long time since Saya started fiddling with her phone alone.
I turned my head to see what she was doing, and I was startled.
Because she was shedding transparent tears.
“why are you crying?”
When I asked in bewilderment, she shook her head in surprise.
“You didn’t cry?”
Saying that, Saya took off the shichimi and returned the smartphone she was holding to me.
Then he left the room to get some fresh air.
Anyone could see that he was running away, but he didn’t bother to point it out.
Because I also have that kindness.
Instead, I turned on the smartphone that she had left behind and I recently saw a gallery floating in the app and went inside.
What Saya saw was a group photo of Group D members when she went to the sea a while ago.
In the photo, Ryuji was smiling broadly and drawing a V with her fingers.
This guy seems to have been holding on to the exact same pose he has now since he was a kid.
This was enough to guess why Saya was crying, so I put my phone in my pocket and looked into the hallway beyond the door she had left.
I am not the one who can comfort her.
So for now, there was nothing I could do but watch.

Windfury Trust was a higher-level martial art than I thought.
In general, it is considered that rubber art is less practical than martial arts created in modern times.
There are many reasons for this, but I think it may be because of the completely different aspect of the battle from that time.
However, as the assassination power, which was created with thorough one-hit fatality in mind, focused on effectively attacking and destroying the vital points of the human body, its practicality was not inferior to that of modern martial arts.
There were a total of seven types of gale, all of which had wind-related names.
Type 1 Kamitachi
Type 2 Hayate (Wild Wind)
Type 3 Arashi (Storm)
Type 4 Tatsumaki (Tornado)
Type 5 Oikaze (Sweet Wind)
Type 6 Tsujikaze (Swirl Wind)
Type 7 Ryunobori (Dragon Oreum)
It’s probably not intentional.
‘Cause it’s better that way
Anyway, by the time I finished reading the book, it was already quite late, so I decided to go to bed.
Put the book you’ve finished reading on your bedside and blow out the candle.
As the room darkened, Saya, who was floating in the air, asked.
“I will sleep?”
“It should be.”
“… good night.”
Saying that without being too grumpy, Saya turned her back.
I don’t know if ghosts sleep too, but I didn’t have time to worry about that.
To be honest, I was very tired.
I blinked my gloomy eyes, and then fell asleep without realizing it.

I had a nightmare after a long time.
I can’t remember exactly what the dream was, but it was probably a dream related to a previous life.
As a place like a laboratory burned, I wandered alone, engulfed in flames and struggled.
I watched the flames roll around on the floor, but the fire didn’t go out and it got bigger and bigger.
Then I woke up to the vivid pain that burned to my bones.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh.”
Even breathing is painful.
I clenched my chest, trying to catch a shaky breath.
The inside of her stomach was incredibly hot, as if she had swallowed a fireball.
I grabbed the kettle next to the bed and gulped down the cold water.
Even so, it still feels like the heat doesn’t go away.
I put down the kettle and washed my face dry.
“Whoa… what the hell is this?”
His physical condition was extremely bad.
It’s the first time I’ve experienced something like this since I possessed Kim Yoo-sung’s body, so I don’t know how to respond.
As soon as I got out of bed to get some air, I realized something was wrong.
“what?”
clothes are big
Obviously, the yukata, which was the perfect size for my body, had changed to a strangely large size.
stumble!
Thanks to this, my legs got caught in the hem of my pants and I fell forward, and I realized that I accidentally put my hands on the ground.
It’s not that my clothes have gotten bigger, it’s that my body has gotten smaller.
「Umm… What’s up. At a time like this… .”
Perhaps he heard the commotion, Saya, who had been sleeping in a floating state, rubbed her eyes and got up.
And when our eyes met, he looked at me blankly and frowned.
“who?”
“…it’s Kim Yoo-sung.”
Then Saya’s eyes widened.
“Nonsense! The guy I know is a bit bigger than this!”
I’m not saying something is wrong, but I feel bad.
Thinking like that, I got up with my crooked body forward.
“How did that happen?”
“I don’t know either. Maybe it’s because of the side effects of the drugs I took while fighting you.”
There’s nothing I can do right now, so I thought I’d have to wake up and think about it.

and morning.
Fuuma-senpai, who understood the whole situation too late, muttered with a surprised face.
“It’s absurd. Did my new drug have side effects like this?”
“Now that it has come to pass, I want to return to my original body as soon as possible.”
I said that as I moved my shrunken body back and forth.
ghost hwan.
Obviously, the last time I ate it, I was lethargic for at most a few days, but the new drug I took this time showed the side effects in a way that made no sense at all.
Ignoring all the laws of physics, it’s because the body’s age has returned to the past.
I look younger than when I just possessed this body, from the upper grades of elementary school to the lower grades of middle school.
“Umm… Maybe we made the discovery of the century. A drug that rejuvenates people. Honestly, it’s an unprecedented event.”
I’m also curious
I’m not a detective with a body of a child and an adult with a brain, but suddenly my body’s time went backwards because I took one wrong drug.
But that’s it and this is this.
The muscles I had worked hard for years evaporated overnight.
To be honest, it was hard for me to accept this fact with my bare mind.
If it wasn’t for someone who probably knew my old self, there was a high probability that they wouldn’t believe me even if I said I was Kim Yoo-sung.
Because my body now is incredibly small.
“I changed the formulation of Ghost Hwan, but it is not much different from the previous one. If it is a temporary side effect, there is a chance that it will return to the original body after a few days.
“What if it doesn’t come back to normal?”
“Then I will take responsibility and take care of you.”
“…something seems to be a condition in which only Fuuma-senpai can benefit.”
“no way.”
“Ha, there’s nothing I can do about it. For now, we have no choice but to watch the situation.”
I let out a deep sigh and clasped my hands, which were vastly smaller than before.
It was spring break when I was in my 3rd year of middle school that I had to go to the gym in earnest and get out of the anchovy situation.
There was a tremendous sense of disparity between my original body and the delicate body of the past.
I swung my folded sleeves back and forth over and over again, and then I asked Fuuma-senpai.
“First, would you like some new clothes?”
“Okay. I’m coming.”
Saying that, Fuuma-senpai got up from his seat and asked as if he had suddenly remembered.
“By the way, is the acquisition of the gale going well?”
I nodded.
“I started by memorizing the contents of the book. It will be difficult to master all the techniques in three days, so I want to know the theory of technology quickly.”
“Does that mean you can memorize it?”
“Did you memorize it?”
I don’t know if it’s an old country, but Kim Yoo-sung’s body was possible.
It’s not because I’m the top of the class for nothing.
Even if you can’t memorize everything, you can take a picture beforehand.
“Even though you’re definitely small, you’re great.”
Hearing that, I shrugged my shoulders with a sullen expression, and Fuuma-senpai looked at me for a moment, then suddenly stroked my hair.
“…what are you doing?”
“No, just because you look cute.”
I was momentarily at a loss for words.
Because ‘cute’ was an expression I hadn’t heard before in recent years.
With a shy expression on my face, I patted Fuuma-senpai’s hair that had just been stroked, and said in an awkward voice.
“I’ll eat breakfast first.”
Then, Fuuma-senpai nodded with a warm smile.
“I’ll prepare it right now.”
