The Balloonatic

Nagase...

It's you, right?

And you're Taichi, right?

Yeah, people aren't going to switch bodies every—

Wh-What's wrong?

Don't tell me that...

Did three people switch bodies this time?

Maybe?

Yes!

I'm Kiriyama Yui!

I'm Aoki Yoshifumi!

I'm Inaba Himeko!

Student Cultural Society

Want some more tea?

No thanks.

I can't take any more of this!

Why do I keep getting stuffed in this yucky body?!

Why don't I get to switch bodies with Iori?!

What? With me?

Uh, I think you're missing something here.

I won't be stuck in this body forever, will I?!

Hard to say.

Yesterday, they switched back after thirty minutes.

Taichi, Iori-chan, shouldn't you go to class?

I don't want to keep you here because of us.

Nah, skipping class now and then is cool.

It's sort of exciting, almost like we're a secret society.

Easy for you to...

Did you switch back?

Seems like it.

Some Fascinating Humans

Yeah. Well, you know,

I don't think this is necessary,

but I have a reputation to keep,

so pretend like I'm grilling you.

Oh, I'm gonna keep on eating

since I'm having soba.

Can't let the noodles get soggy.

Well, you guys are usually good students.

Though you've managed to make me curious.

Man, I always choke on the first bite

when I eat something hot, you know?

Wait, that doesn't happen to you guys?

Just get it over with, Goto.

Now look here, Inaba.

I want to be considered an open and friendly teacher,

so I let the students call me Mr. Go,

but that doesn't mean it's okay to drop the mister.

You don't get to lecture me until you start doing your job.

Who did the bookkeeping for our class after the cultural festival?

Right, thank you very much.

Try not to mention that while other teachers are around.

So why are we here again?

Oh, right.

What were you all doing?

The three of you, plus Aoki and Kiriyama

didn't show up until third period.

We all had some mini chocolate buns yesterday

that turned out to be spoiled,

so we were all late due to upset stomachs.

That's what happened.

Is that the same answer Aoki and Kiriyama will give Ms. Hirata?

Of course.

If that's your story, I'll buy it.

You're excused.

Inaban's a real pro.

Yeah, she can lie through her teeth

and still come across all haughty like that.

She'll grow up to be a scammer or con artist.

Seriously...

If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up.

Did Aoki and Kiriyama get out of it okay?

Yeah. And?

What's wrong, Yui?

Hello?

What's wrong?

Did you see a ghost or something?

Oh, I need to go to the restroom.

Enjoy.

What to do?

I need to find a place where I can be alone!

Whoa!

What are you doing in here?!

That's right.

Then I have no choice!

Hm?

Again?!

What is going on?!

Hello? Is this Taichi?

Yeah, that's right.

Is Kiriyama with you?

Yeah, Iori's trying to calm her down.

Where are you right now?

Me?

I'm in the

restroom.

Huh? Oh.

You switched back?

Y-Yeah...

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

Hello?

Hello, Inaba? Can you hear me?

Why am I in the restroom?!

What was Taichi doing?!

Put Taichi on the phone!

Yaegashi...

It's our turn to clean the restrooms today.

Don't run out on me.

Back to the restroom.

Huh?

You look tired.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

Sorry, it took a while to finish up cleaning—

Student Cultural Society

Taichi!

I have...

I have a question for you!

Wh-What is it?

What's wrong, Nagase?

What happened between you and

Fujishima-san while we were switched?!

Uh, nothing important...

I'll tell you if it was important or not!

How often do we get to see Iori-chan this flustered?

Uh, well...

I probably should have said something sooner.

He played with my boobs!

How am I supposed to get married now?!

I had to do that to figure out what was going on!

When you were in my body,

you went to the girls' restroom.

You couldn't have...

I was just trying to find a place to hide!

Wait, that's not even important!

What matters is that...

Fu-Fu—

Fujishima-san is...

A-Are you okay, Nagase?

Why are you so upset?

And what's so special about Fujishima?

I've never seen Iori so stressed.

What's the 1-3 class rep like?

Perfect manners, stellar grades, and the teachers love her.

She's a model student.

Forget that! Taichi!

How big were Iori-chan's boobs?!

Ow, hot!

We don't have time to waste on that!

If you really want to know, I can just tell you.

Iori is a C cup.

While we're at it, I'm a B,

and Yui's an A.

Wh-What do you think you're saying?!

It's okay, Yui!

You might be lacking in the boobie department,

but you've got it going on in plenty of other areas!

Get that look off your face! It pisses me off!

And I'm not lacking!

Smaller can be better sometimes!

Oh...

So Inaba is a B and Kiriyama is an A.

Don't just stand there and stare!

Let's focus on Fujishima-san!

What am I supposed to do?!

We should focus on the body swapping.

Hey, hello there.

Goto?

How long have you been standing there?

I just got here.

What's wrong?

Are you feeling under the weather?

I feel perfectly fine.

Since this man is much healthier than he needs to be.

The problem would be that I

lack motivation, tenacity, courage, spirit,

and all that other stuff, I guess?

Um... What's wrong, Mr. Go?

I came to see if you people were

panicking about the personality swap.

Mr. Go, how do you know about th—

Oh, could you stop calling me Mr. Go or Goto?

That's not who I am.

Who...

...are you?

Who are you?

Yes, how do I respond?

I suppose that Heartseed counts as my name.

Heartseed?

What does a little-known plant have to do with anything?

Dunno?

Well, I basically play the role of an observer.

I just happen to

be borrowing this Goto person's body at the moment.

So you're something else in Mr. Go's body?

That sounds about right, yes.

That means you have something to do with our personalities swapping.

Yes... Well, then...

The five of you will randomly swap personalities for the time being.
