Kinda new with comedy, hope this makes you laugh.


My name is Eveden Pisces.

Actually, it is my current name because It seems I have been reincarnated in another world. Like one of those trending isekai novels I've been reading recently, and I gotta admit, I've become a sucker for those genres.

It's to the point that I can't focus on my studies. At this rate, I wouldn't pass my exams! (You're already dead)

Damn those cursed novels making me addicted...!

Huh? You think it's my fault because I prioritize my enjoyment? Shut up. I'd instead enjoy my youth than regret everything when I become an adult. Huh? That's not how enjoying youth goes? Zip it. As an introvert who lacks social skills that hardly goes outside (except for school), this is akin to an Eden for me.

Anyways, my name is Eveden Pisces (twice). And it seems I cannot remember my name in my previous world. Whenever I try to recall my memories, I always get the pain of an excruciating headache. One thing is for sure, though. I was a male back there.

Was.

"God, why did you reincarnate me as a girl...?"

Or was it transmigration? Transmigration is where you take over the body, making the original owner's consciousness disappear. While reincarnation undergoes rebirth in another body without the memories. So it must be transmigration, right?

But, I remember the memories of my current body, and it feels like I haven't taken over her or something. It feels like it's always been like this.

Let me explain. Do you remember a time as a kid when you were doing your kid business and stuff? You suddenly remember something but can't inexplicably explain it, so you tell your parents, and they'd answer with 'Deja Vu?

Yep, this girl has been experiencing them quite often, according to her memories. But unlike your usual victim who experiences 'déjà Vu that usually forgets it later on. She tries to replicate it in her behaviour. No, she imitates it perfectly.

In other words, she's like a good copy of me.

I didn't have to worry about people seeing me act strange.

When I took over, It felt like I remembered my long-lost memories, which were in fact, her memories with her orphan friends and all, after amnesia. However, she should've been the one who experiences my memories, right? Not me from Earth. So it must be transmigration...

Or maybe I am her who mistakenly assumed that I am from Earth?

I mean, If we're going for the Reincarnation route, then I did mature a little too fast... I guess that makes me one of those late-bloomer reincarnator types who they suddenly remember their past life.

But what about the male protag becoming a girl...?

Maybe that's why I couldn't accept that I had reincarnated as a girl in this world. Since I was really convinced that I'd become a boy if I were to reincarnate like those Isekai novels...

If that were the case, then I'm just trying to escape reality...

Ugh, I'm not sure who's who anymore! Whether I am she, or she is I, I don't want to solve it! My sudden developed mentally tried to make sense of this confusing situation and look where that led me. Headache.

... But if I did transmigrate here, wouldn't that fully replace her soul with mine?

That is kind of morbid, actually... It makes me feel bad just thinking about it.

Either way, it is starting to really~ hurt my brain. Is this what you call identity crises?

As I swirl through her memories. I saw something that made me nostalgic.

"Wow, her tomboyish-ness or idio- reckless behaviour really reminds me of...Well, me. It feels like I'm taking a trip down memory lane just seeing her point of view."

The difference was, was that I was currently a girl.

That part wasn't important right now. Because right in front of me— I mean, in my— no, in HER memories currently got my attention.

Her friend. No, her childhood friend.

For some reason, I cringed at the memory. Even though it's not my own...

"I can't believe she's this dense… She's like some childhood friend that you'd see in anime..."

Oh yeah, I'm sort of an anime character now, right? Since this stuff always happens in light novels, it's natural to assume that I'm protagonist.

But nooo~ her memories clearly says otherwise... Her setting is plainly that of a failure heroine that has fallen in love with the protagonists. The reason I call it 'failure' is because childhood friends never wins in a romantic relationship. However—

That's completely fine with me!

But still though...

"Seeing this makes me feel secondhand embarrassment for some reason... The same can be said for the red-haired kid. Just look at his tomato cheeks whenever he gets close to her!"

Now that I think about it, should I be worried about this factor? Don't know about now, but he clearly has a crush on her back then. I mean realistically speaking, if you have a childhood friend that you see everyday then there's probably a chance your brain will see him a sibling, right? So it's kinda weird for me to imagine that type of relationship, even though it happens pretty often according to the internet.

Huh, maybe that's why childhood friends in anime romanticism never wins? Maybe the author of those shows has the same beliefs as me.

And like, I'm always told that the internet is mixed between true and false information. In this case, I want to stick with the latter, unless there's some solid evidence then I'm not changing my belief.

But still... Should I remain cautious?

Hmmm~ meh, I shouldn't worry much. Once he finds the real heroin, he'll forget about me anyway. I've seen plenty of anime to see where this is going, which I'm completely fine with it by the way!

Then, I realized something.

"Hang on. Are you really trying to copy me? Then what's this?! I-if your really trying to replicate me in your 'Deja Vu — then at least know that he has a crush on you, damn it!"

Tch, well, whatever, It's not like I'm jealous of anyone's romance life or anything... As a matter of fact, just seeing her makes me feel super embarrassed!

To be fair, I didn't see any romance-related anime in her 'Deja Vu memories or any anime at all. Does that mean if I didn't watch anime, mainly the romance genre, in the earlier stages of my life — would I become like her? A dense character but secretly has a secret admirer (crush) behind my back?

Heh, surely not. No girl would want to be with a reclusive and lonely person like me.

Wait, maybe it's because of anime that made me like that.

Perhaps I would've gotten a chance with a girlfriend If I stayed with a normie-life...

But anime... They're just so addicting once you get a hold of them! And their designs are cute. I can't help but look down at normies when slander anime...!

Anyways, should I forgive this girl for being dense? Well, fine~ I'll let her go just this once since she's not me. After all, she's her own person who's only trying to replicate me in my previous life.

I say that, but she's probably no longer here anymore. Then again, I'm probably her who thinks I'm from Earth, basically talking about myself.

Weird... If that's the case, then I'm practically reprimanding myself.

Oh, speaking of which, I woke up in her childhood friend's arms. It was at that time that I was reincarnated? Transmigrated? Whatever! When I saw his crying ragged face, I was like, "Huh? Am I getting a heart attack?" even I was impressed by my stupidity.

What was his name again? Ah yes, Adam Taurus. The one with two horns...

It seems this body made a contract with a Demon before I took over. Nah, just kidding, the kid named Adam is a faunus, and he is Eveden's childhood I talked about earlier.

Yeah, the one that blushed in her memories.

Anyways, you might be wondering what is a faunus? Just think of them as Demi-humans with traits of an animal.

What's my animal trait, you ask? Hoho, how nice of you to ask, but I think it's not something to be proud of...

Well whatever, It appears I have a trait of a fish-based on the fins in my ears, arms, hip, and leg area. It's kind of a weird feeling that I can just retract them and wrap them inside my muscles, but it can at least make me less standout.

Maybe that's why I've always been thirsty yesterday whenever I lay around and contemplate my current situation. I was sure I drank 2 gallons of water in just a day. As I said, it's not something to be proud of.

Fortunately, Adam was there to bring me water whenever I was dehydrated. He even brings me his food whenever he thinks I'm hungry, which I'm not. It made me feel bad to share his hard work with a freeloader, so I outright refused him and ate some hard bread...

He said It was high-quality bread, but why the hell is it so hard?!

Oh yeah, he always wipes my mouth and cheeks with a tissue whenever water drips my mouth. It was embarrassing getting a wipe every time I spilled some drips. It makes me think I'm always this careless in drinking back on Earth.

You know, I can understand getting wiped because of pieces of bread crumbs, but it's always water that my cheeks get wiped on. It's not gonna leave a stain or anything, so there was no need to wipe my cheeks like a worrying mother!

I swear there was that one time I didn't spill any, and he still wiped my mouth. That's pretty creepy, you know... I bet If he weren't so handsome, girls would immediately report him to the authorities.

And like, where the hell is he even getting those tissues?! Were they even sanitary!?

I would probably think of him as a handsome ideal husband with the way he cares and listens to me. And he's like 8 years old? Boy! Since when do children become worrywarts?! Why is he so dependable?! They're not mature enough to become like that! Oh right... I think I found the answer.

As expected of the protagonist power.

As the protagonist, he probably get a harem right? I bet many girls would look at me with jealousy. Since this is reality, maybe the heroins will try to persuade him to cheat on me instead of being all chummy in harem anime? It was always like that in high school as I observed on the sidelines. Pfft, why am I even thinking harem in reality anyway?

Anyways, in a relationship between guys, even if they look handsome and cool. That's an immediate no for me. Sorry, I don't swing that way, bucko.

Or so I thought...

Whenever I see his face. I subconsciously blushed at him and tried to avert my gaze... Adam later pointed that out assuming I have a cold or something.

Naturally, I couldn't stand seeing a beautiful girl or a beautiful trap (male). I was like that in my previous world, averting my eyes and getting made fun of because I lacked the courage to look at them straight...

But this is different! Very freaking different! I literally blushed to a mascular looking boy...! He doesn't even look feminine enough to look like a trap! I'm very sure I didn't have that taste back in my previous life!

Thankfully, his dense nature as a harem protagonist prevented him from understanding my bashful behaviour.

But still...

"Was I gay?" That is the question. Which is false, by the way!

Even though I like traps, there's no chance I'd bang them. Sure I find them attractive but they're still a guy, you know. So it's still false regardless!

As a result of me doubting reality, I was screaming as I covered my face on the pillow.

"AHHHH! W-What the hell?! I was totally H-h-heated from his presence! Are you still inside your body, Eve?! Why was I blushing in front of him!? Why—"

"–Eve? Are you alright? You've been acting strange recently."

Y-Yes, wait—

"...Y-Yes, I'm alright, Adam. I just remembered some painful memories (from yesterday)... B-But Adam, it's not good if you barge in without knocking, got it? If you do, I won't talk to you the whole day! So you better not!"

"...Fine."

Aha! Take that! A 180 turn of my behaviour whenever someone barges into my room! This is nothing compared to my parents barging in unannounced while I do my business!

Thankfully, I knew Adam was one of those lucky anime leeching protagonists types, so I remembered to lock the wooden doors. I'm definitely not one of those anime heroines who forget to lock their doors and get walked upon by the protagonist's eyes.

I'm not naked right now, but I'd totally be embarrassed if he saw me muttering like a weirdo. I mean, how many friends have I lost because of that!

I might be a girl right now, but I'm still a guy inside. So, of course, I'd try to peek at my new body and try some new stuff, you know.

But whenever I try to look at my beautiful, gorgeous, and innocently frail portioned yet dirty ragged body. I can't get aroused at all!

In fact, I feel guilty molesting it with my gaze since I still think I've transmigrated... I mean, if it's reincarnation, then I'd still do it, right?

Dammit, this is no fun... Instead, my hormones (horny) have been replaced to gaze at some men with bulky muscles! GAH, I'm not gay, alright! So stop! It felt weird to experience two types of hormonal emotions! Sexually attracted and disgusted...!

It almost wants to make me cry. Oh wait, I am crying...

N-no good. My nostril is filled with snot. I can't breathe properly, so I've been sniffling while figuring out what to wipe.

Ah crap, I don't want to get my arms wet... I'm sorry, pillow, you will have to do.

As I wiped my tears and snot, Adam muttered something behind the door that must've been important. I'm sorry, but you timed that wrong. It's not my fault that you muttered it, alright.

My tears have finally dried up, and my nose is mostly cleared. So it should be safe to open the door. I approached and opened the door. To my surprise, Adam was sitting behind my door. As a result, he almost tumbled down and embarrassed himself.

Idiot, that's what you get for acting cool.

"Did you say something, Adam?"

He got up and dusted himself. He frowned at me as if disapproving of something.

'O-oh, I um, sorry for opening the door suddenly...? D-don't look at me like that! It's like my parents disapproving me for liking anime!'

"...Nothing, you should rest more, Eve... I'll try to convince the boss you're sick."

'Stop! That's gonna get me in even more trouble! The boss is going to think I'm a freeloader or something...!'

"A-again? No! It's alright, there's really no need! I'm pretty healthy, see?"

I flexed and posed my nonexistent muscles; I'm not sure if he's convinced, but I'm pretty much proving that I can move around already.

Geh...! However, based on his frowning expression, it seems he is not convinced. Ah crap, how do I convince him? Should I move around more? Yeah, let's do that.

"I can already jump like a rabbit! you see!"

I started jumping like 2 times. I-It was more embarrassing than I thought. I imagined it would've been adorbs since I was a girl now. But It feels like I just shamed myself just now... Well, I couldn't stop now, so I jumped for the last time—

–Suddenly, both of my shoulders were grabbed by Adam.

'Ow, that hurt! Do you know how beautiful, gorgeous, and innocently frail my body is! Owowow, no seriously, stop! You're putting more pressure on it! You're going to give me a bruise!'

"Idiot! Don't go jumping around when you were like a dying person yesterday!"

'The hell's your problem! Owow, I know that you're worried, but don't squeeze your hands on me. It hurts dammit!'

However, despite me being hurt like this, I can't help but make an incredulous expression while also making a tortured (hurtful) expression.

I'm not that weak, am I? In my memories that are now mine, the girl does get sick often... But a simple cold like that doesn't affect my physique, right?

Sure, I didn't do heavy lifting yesterday to prove myself, but I was still organizing my thoughts back then, which is different! I'm not going to get threatened. I'm seriously going to get whipped! I need to prove my worth before this body's gorgeous skin will get a scar!

Like, of course, I'm going to take care of it, you know? This body doesn't seem to have a villainous role; in fact, she's a tomboy, innocent maiden! So I can't help but feel guilty that I might've transmigrated into her.

And plus, It kinda hurts my pride a little that he has so little faith in my strength...

Oh! It seems Adam noticed my incredulous expression... Ah, however, based on the way he didn't rest his grip, it seems he didn't see my suffering expression. Instead, he is even activating my Aura because of his grip strength!

'H-Hey! Snap out of it already! Y-You're probably going to dislocate my shoulder anytime soon!'

"I'll be blunt, you have a weak body, weak Aura, you're not even suited for this type of work! Without Aura, you're nothing..."

Ouch! Not only physically but mentally! That really hurt my pride, you know...! I-I was totally~ pretty strong back on Earth, you know! But I have no one to show it to... I was a loner, but I was still pretty proud, you know!

However, now that I have become like this... I have become the embodiment of weakness in exchange for beauty. But I didn't even want this kind of beauty...! I didn't even want to become a girl in the first place!

Ugh, I feel like I want to collapse again...

'Not fair! Not fair at all! I wish I was reincarnated as you instead...! Maybe I should pray and ask God that we could exchange bodies. With your face, I could definitely get a harem! I'll even become religious just so you can feel my pain right now! Or better yet, I'll force my way to transmigrate inside you instead–!'

"So please, don't do that again...! Take care of yourself more... Just stay here and rest. I'll definitely convince him..."

"O-oh, r-right, okay... I'm sorry..."

"Don't be... In the first place, I should've been with you more so I could protect you. No, I should've paid attention to your health and give you my supplies that so you could sustain yourself before that happened..."

'Protect me from what?!'

I seriously wanted to throw my thoughts out my mouth, but right now, Adam looks like he's about to cry despite being a tough boy in Eve's memories.

'O-Oh crap, he looks pretty down, about to cry even. S-Should I comfort him or ask him a question about my safety...? Aaahh damn it, let's comfort him! I can always ask him later.'

"Ah, nono! It's really not your fault, so don't blame yourself! Uh, yes! It's because I was being reckless to begin with... I didn't pay any regard to your feelings, so really, this was all my fault. So please cheer up, don't be hard on yourself! I wouldn't want you to become down because of me..."

'No really, I'm already feeling conflicted that you cared that much, but I know that feelings isn't directed at me! Even if I did reincarnate, It still feels like I'm tricking you that I'm Eve! So a good boy like you shouldn't be caring about me too much!'

"As I thought..."

Then, Adam pulled her in an embrace.

"?! Adam—!"

"From now on, don't try so hard anymore, don't be hard on yourself, either. I'm always here for you, so please rely on me more."

"..."

...Oh wow, that last line sounded like from an anime. It kinda made my heart 'badump' to be honest, like skip a beat, you know? And he's worried for me to that extent, um, I didn't have anyone like that back on Earth so didn't know how to respond, so...

I'm kind of flattered.

'HOLD UP! Wait a minute! Something ain't right!'

Did- Did I seriously nonchalantly admit that?! O-Oh my God, m-my maiden heart has been tricked! This 'badump' is only for the girl I love, not for you! Oooh I'm furious at you right now, you know!

To show my anger, I released both of his hands wrapped around me and navigated them into together as I tightened them with all my strength. Unfortunately, I didn't get the same results as him since my rugged grip didn't activate his Aura... Kuh! If that's how it is, I'll glare at him.

"Not fair..."

Give me back my maiden heart! It was only reserved for the beautiful I would soon love!

"It's not fair..."

If only you didn't say that last line, then I wouldn't be tricked. Oh, it feels like the virginity of my heart is no more! How will you fix this?!

And what happened to that face in a verge of crying earlier, huh!? Don't tell me that it was all a trick to make my guard down! Damn handsome men with their two-faced looks!

Adam flinched. He then showed a hurtful expression.

"Eve..."

'Heh, good! It seems that you're aware that the one you have a crush on is mad at you right now. I bet you'd be even more hurt if I left you here!'

No, actually, I'd probably get kidnapped due to how beautiful I am, so let's not do that.

So I just smashed the door in front of him. Ha! Serves him right for taking my first 'badump'! That'll probably hurt his feelings to some extent.

But I wonder, why do I have a feeling that I did something reckless? Ah, now that I think about it, I did need to prove my worth to the boss.

Oh, the boss...

I'm going to suffer today, aren't I?

...I should have convinced Adam to tag along...
