Risseing In a New World (Rise TG Comm)
🕑 Added 2023-01-04 23:00:03 +0000 UTC“What a day,” Erick sighed as he stumbled into his home after a hard day at work. He felt so drained that a part of him wanted to go to bed already. After everything that he had been through today at work, from obnoxious customers, issues happening while on the shift, and other stuff, he felt like it was more than deserved. Still, there had been one thing that had helped push him through the day. That both made the day seem so much longer than it was and made him all the more eager for the work day to end.
The moment he entered the living room, Erick reached into his bag and pulled out copies of the Persona ports for the Nintendo Switch, and grinned. He had been eagerly waiting to get these since they were announced, and the wait was utterly agonizing. He could have ordered it online, but he didn’t want to run the risk of his package getting stolen. He had prepared for this day as much as he could, making sure that it would go as well as possible.
Erick had done everything that he could, to get through the backlog of games that he had. He knew the moment the Persona games came he would forget about them until far later. It had been a long arduous journey, but he had managed to get through them all and enjoy every single one of them. Now he could play them and not worry about the backlog getting bigger.
“The young man stared greedily, almost hungrily at all of the games, wondering which one he should play first. Persona 3 was the one that everybody went to and the one that got the franchise to where it is today. Persona 5 was the latest one that he had played and the one with the freshest memories and that made it call to him as well. His eyes went to Persona 4 and his mind stopped for a moment, as all of the memories tied to it came rushing forward. Sure Persona 5 was fun and a ball, but it was Persona 4 that had gotten him hooked into the franchise since it was his first. If it wasn’t for that game then he never would have gotten into the franchise.
With that Erick’s decision on what he would do next was made. He quickly got his Switch set up, almost skipping around the room as he gripped his controller. He lounged on the couch and wondered how long had it been since he sat down and played the game. He couldn’t quite recall. It was probably back when it first became available on Steam, though he couldn't say for sure.
Memories of the game came rushing forward and he couldn’t help but grin as some of his favorite scenes from the anime and the game came rushing forward. The silly scenes that touched his heart made it tighten slightly as some of the darker possibilities came rushing forward.
“Nope, not going to let that happen,” Erick stated as he went to the new game decision and selected it.
The screen went dark as Erick waited patiently for the gaming intro to start. His feet bounced and the grin that he had on his face only blossomed as time passed. The seconds dragged and the excitement that he had dimmed as worry dug into his heart. Erick’s grin died, knowing that it shouldn't have taken this long for the game to load.
“Please tell me that I didn’t get a bugged cartridge or something. I don’t need to deal with that or my switch getting bricked," Erick muttered, his heart pounding. He stood up from his seat ready to get up when the screen on the TV suddenly cracked making him jump.
“What the fuck happened!” Erick cried. He looked around, wondering if someone was pulling a prank on him or something. He got off the couch and stepped forward to get a better look at it, wondering if he could find out what could have caused that. He grimaced, as the cracks continued to grow and he stopped. He stepped back, and then in one flash, the TV screen broke entirely, as the sound of shattered glass went through the room. The glass fell and revealed a bright blue and white vortex that pulled everything toward it as a white ripple went through the room.
Erick yelped as he leaped to try and put some distance between himself and the wormhole, but instead, all he did was float in the air for a second as if he was being held up by wires. He tried to claw his way over the chair, but he couldn’t. He felt himself get pulled back, and desperately tried to reach the couch or anything, but he couldn’t. The young man screamed fearfully as he was pulled into the portal and closed his eyes for whatever might happen next, hoping he would be alright.
Erick groaned, his head feeling like he had been hit by a truck with how everything spun around him. He shook his head and breathed heavily through his nose. He saw sunlight peeking out over a roof and blinked. He stood up and shook his head again, realizing that he was in an alleyway now. He frowned as the smell of fresh trash hit his nose which made his nose wrinkle.
“Alright, where the hell did that portal take me?” Erick muttered as he stumbled out of the hallway, checking his pockets and making sure that he had everything that he needed.
The young man looked around wondering where he was as his jaw dropped and his head suddenly went light. He was no longer in the big city, filled with large buildings that reached into the skies with stores being advertised around every corner.
Instead, the area around him seemed more of a rural environment as if he had arrived at a small town. What stood out to him were the Japanese characteristics that were on some of the buildings. There was a Chinatown, in the city that he lived in, but it didn’t look anything at all like this, and there was a bit of English telling them what the stores were exactly, but here there were only Japanese letters.
“Why am I in Japan now?” Erick muttered, his face pale.
Suddenly his head buzzed as if there was a bee or something inside of it. He shook his head and his breathing picked up. He leaned against the wall forcing himself to remain upright. He gulped down a batch of saliva that wanted to come out of him. When the buzzing in his brain ceased, he blinked and forced himself off the wall with ease as if he wasn’t suffering mere seconds ago. The signs that he previously had no idea what they said now came to him as easily as normal English did.
“That…that isn’t normal,” Erick said, unnerved by his new fluent understanding of the language. There was no way that he should have been able to understand it in microseconds. “Is it a side effect from the portal?”
It was the only thing that he could think of that made some sense. As much sense as getting isekaie’d did anyway. If it was then that meant there would be more side effects to come and he wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.
“Please let nothing bad happen until I can find a way back or something. The first thing I need to do is find out where I am exactly,” the young man pulled out his phone and frowned when he saw that there was a lack of service. “Of course, it couldn’t be that easy.”
He saw some young teenagers who looked to be in high school and frowned when he noticed their uniforms. The uniforms they wore were predominantly black with yellow neckerchieves and a pleated skirt. There was something familiar about the checkered pattern that they had.
“Better get moving, I would look like a creep if I don’t do something,” Erick muttered and quickly walked away, uncaring about the direction that he was going in. With how he could suddenly read Japanese signs and all, he hoped that meant he would be able to speak it just as easily.
Unknown to the young man as he walked down, Erick started to get younger. The years that he had over her disappeared as adolescent youth filled his face. Some of the stress lines that he had disappeared as time passed. The clothes that he wore along with some of his height reduced as he walked, making the pants and shirt that he wore slouch a little over his frame. The tiredness that he had from a hard day at work disappeared as he continued to walk, as more youth filled his being. By the time he had finished getting younger, Erick no longer looked like a young adult in his mid 20’s, but a young man that had to be 16 or 17 at most.
Erick frowned at the new energy that he suddenly had made him increase the speed he walked, but wasn't going to complain about it yet. He was going to need every bit of energy that he could muster if he was going to get anywhere in this town. Though he wondered what might happen to him now if that was what he had to worry about.
The displaced human continued to walk down the street, not sure where it would lead him or what he might do just yet. He stopped when he saw a familiar store with a large red sign that said Junes.
“Wait…Junes?” Erick gasped suddenly as he put together the Japanese characters that he had seen. The uniforms of some of the teenagers that he had passed by. “There…There’s no way.”
Erick shook his head and tried to get it on straight again as his mind continued to spin at the newest revelation. The displaced young man didn’t want to believe it, but the only way this could be was either it happened, or it was a very elaborate prank, but considering what just happened there was no way the second idea was possible. This changed things. If he had just somehow been transported to Japan then he could have called for his family, but here in another world, he didn’t have anyone else that he would be able to call upon.
“Why am I here? Did I replace Yu?” Erick wondered. It seemed like a bit of a stretch and maybe even a little narcissistic of him, but he couldn’t help but wonder about the validity of it. Still, why did he suddenly have a massive understanding of Japanese as if he had practiced it for years?
“Ok…this…makes things worse. Where am I in the Persona timeline? Is this before or after the game?” Erick muttered as he tapped his foot, his mind scrambling as more pieces came flying together.
The young man stopped when he saw a familiar girl walking down the street. She had dark red hair that was done up into pigtails. She wore a yellow neckerchief around her neck and wore a black high school uniform with a pleated black skirt that he knew to be the uniform for Yasogami High School.
“That’s…Rise,” Erick muttered, staring at the cute girl in shock. She was even more beautiful than he had envisioned. Her long beautiful dark red hair drew his attention with how beautiful and lustrous it was. When he had played the game, she had been the one that he had romanced. Even if there were times that she seemed a little too excitable, he couldn’t deny her cuteness.
Rise turned to him and the young man felt his heart skip a beat, and his body clammed up when she smiled at him. His throat tightened and his face burned. His joints locked, despite the strenuous effort that he put in so that he didn’t look like a creep to one of his game crushes. He looked behind him, wondering if one of her friends or the protagonist was behind him, but he didn’t see anyone there.
“Oh, there you are Erick,” Rise greeted with a chipper smile that made his heart and his mind stall.
Erick blinked in surprise at her knowing his name. He didn’t remember telling her who he was and there was no way that they had met before today.
“R-Rise?” Erick sputtered, staring at her in shock. “How…”
“I wondered where you ran off to this morning, and before school too. Jeez!” Rise complained, not noticing his confusion.
Erick’s mouth still struggled to open and close as the young woman ranted at him without any major heat. The displaced young man couldn’t say anything in return and simply listened to her as she vented her morning.
‘How does she know me? Why is she acting like we’ve known each other for years?’ Erick thought.
His head ached in pain and he breathed a little heavier as he shook it, trying to keep the lightheadedness away from him as memories assaulted his mind. He could faintly recall living in Japan for some time, but most of the details were vague. The sudden realization made his head spin, but at the very least he found some solace in the fact he had some history here. It meant that he wasn’t completely on his own and did have a background here.
“Hey, are you ok?” Rise said, immediately reaching up and touching his head, all of the frustration she had just gone in a second.
“I-I’m fine Rise,” the young man said and tried to force a weak grin on his face. “Just a bit of...a crazy morning I guess.”
The young woman didn’t seem at all pleased by his answer, but a buzz from her phone made her stop before she could say anything else thankfully. Rise pulled out a pink flip phone, which Erick couldn’t help but gawk out. How long had it been since he had seen a flip phone he didn’t know. He resisted the urge to ask if he could touch it, knowing that it would sound weird no matter what angle he might have tried.
The carefree expression that Rise had suddenly shifted into a frown. She quickly shoved her phone into her bag and the young woman looked at him as if she had just seen a Shadow appear behind him.
“Erick, we need to get a move on, or else we’re going to be late!” Rise exclaimed as she grabbed Erick’s hand and started dragging him.
Erick squealed for a moment, surprised by the strength that Rise had, and almost stumbled over as he struggled to follow after her. If it wasn’t for his fast reflexes he would have fallen and hit the ground. After a second, Erick’s face darkened as he realized the situation that he was in.
The blonde struggled to keep up with Rise with how swiftly she moved, but the young man couldn’t bring himself to break out of her grip. With how fast she was running, he was sure that if he did then, she might tumble and there was no way he would let that happen to her. Besides this was one of his video game crushes holding his arm. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he wouldn’t pass up.
As they walked the clothes that Erick wore changed. His blue jeans darkened as they gained the same checkered pattern that Rise’s skirt had. As the new pattern continued to appear they tightened and adjusted around his smaller frame until they snuggly fit his lower body. The white button-down shirt that he wore hardened and the sleeves of it grew longer, forming a black jacket. Large gold buttons formed down the coat, as it tightened around his frame ever so lightly. A zipper formed down the center as well, completing its change into a matching jacket. His shoes adjusted as well, as they became black loafers. By the time they had finished, he was now dressed up in the male version of the Yasogami high school uniform, looking like a true proper student of the school.
Erick panted as he struggled to catch his breath. He didn’t think that she would drag him along like this and had to focus so much on his breathing that he almost tripped over his feet. He wanted to lie down somewhere and wondered what could have made her suddenly rush off in a hurry.
“Uhh, we made it,” Rise smiled as she finally let go of his hand.
Erick blinked when he looked up and saw that they had arrived at Yasogami high. The young man stared at the high school, not sure why she had taken him here. The building was larger than he thought it would be, and it looked like it was a decent size in the anime and the game. Despite it all, he couldn't help but feel intimidated, as if he was about to enter a prison. After the initial shock, the young man noticed how different he was now and noticed his clothes had changed.
“What the?” Erick sputtered, staring in shock at the male uniform that he wore now. His heart trembled and his fingers felt cold as if they had been dipped in a bucket of ice water. He breathed and focused on his heart, trying to force the terror he felt away.
Suddenly he felt something leaning against his leg. He looked down beside him and saw a bright yellow bag that was laying against his leg and frowned. That hadn’t been next to him. He didn’t even have a bag when he came here.
“Did someone leave this here?” Erick muttered.
“Oh, don’t forget your bag, Ericka.” Rise said with the same chipper smile.
“Oh…right,” Erick said, playing along as he slowly picked up the bag, expecting someone to suddenly call out to him. “Wait… Ericka?”
“That's your name...Wow, you really did have a rough morning if that is throwing you off.”
“It…is?” Ericka stated, for some reason, feeling more accepting of it than he should have been. The young man frowned and was reminded of times in his youth some bullies would use that to insult and get on his nerves. Now though it felt as if he always had this name, and could remember his parents calling him that when he was a little kid.
Ericka wondered how long it had been since he had last been to a high school. It had to have been a few years at the very least. Yet for some reason he remembered coming here, the halls feeling as if he had walked through them dozens of times. The lessons that he had forced himself through and struggled to stay awake through some of them. “Why do I remember that?”
As he entered the school, Ericka shuddered as the body hair that he had on his body started to disappear along with every other imperfection that it had. He shuddered as the hair that lined his limbs thinned down. With every step he took, more of his body hair disappeared. Every imperfection that he had from the smallest black mole to the scar that he had on his wrist from an accident went away. The young man shuddered at the sudden change but didn’t pay it much thought, as a sudden full-body itch came over him that made him want to scratch himself as roughly as he could. If he could do a full body inspection, the dimensionally displaced man would have noticed that every single strand of hair that he had below his eyebrows was gone.
The moment they entered the building, Ericka looked around, wondering how different it would be now that it was 3-dimensional instead of the standard 2D. It was both amazing and rather mundane, like when an iconic set was made. Everything looked like it had been plucked from the game world into the best possible replication of what it would look like in the real world. Ericka was so fixated on what was happening that Rise had gotten a lead on him and he quickly rushed over to her.
“This is so surreal,” Ericka muttered as he wandered through the halls, taking all of the schools and the students in. The steps he took felt natural and practiced despite never being here before in his life. Sure he had walked around it all the time while he was playing the game, but that didn’t mean he should have a personal connection with it.
The young man noticed the looks that were being sent their way and could hear them muttering, but the words kept getting jumbled together, preventing him from hearing what they were saying exactly. He looked at Rise and even though he couldn’t see her face, he knew that she was a little annoyed just from the way that she was walking. All of the attention made him roll his shoulders and looked down, trying to look as small as possible.
'How much did she have to put up with this?’ Ericka wondered. This was just a high school and yet it gnawed at him as if there were reporters everywhere asking him questions. He could only imagine how much worse it was when she was being a celebrity out in the public eye.
As the young man pondered what it must have been like for Rise, Ericka started to get smaller, his clothes adjusting to compensate for his shrinking stature. The inches that he had on his body just continued to disappear, as if all of the words and stares from the people were causing him to get smaller. The changing boy finally finished shrinking when he had become a tiny 5’1.
The whispering and excitement that some of the people had only made it worse for the boy. He groaned, wishing that he could explore the town right now to try and find a way back home.
“Please stop,” Ericka muttered, wishing that they were looking at anyone but him. He always hated being the center of attention,
‘Probably jealous that Rise knows me or something,’ Ericka sighed. It would make sense considering the celebrity status she had.
Rise looked over her shoulder and stopped. She turned and placed her hand on Ericka's chin and gently forced him to look up.
“What?” Ericka gasped, staring in shock at how much taller Rise seemed to have gotten since he last looked at her. Now the two of them stood at eye level with each other.
“Hey just ignore all of them ‘kay? remember they don’t matter, Rircka,” Rise said with a comforting tone that washed away all of the fear that he had.
“D-did she grow when I wasn’t looking?” Rircka muttered and then his eyes quickly began darting around again. The boy jumped when he suddenly noticed how much taller everyone seemed to be right now. No, it wasn’t just the students that were taller looking, everything else was as well.
Rircka looked at the bag that he had slung over his shoulder and shuddered. The bag looked like it was almost a third bigger than when he had last looked at it. It weighed the same as it did before, which only served to further unsettle the young man.
“C’mon let’s just get to class,” Rise said.
The changing boy let himself be led as he focused on her words, feeling that there was something familiar about them. Again more memories rushed forward about his time when he first started school for the semester, and how people would talk about him as he passed, muttering in awe, while others had disappointment for a reason that he couldn’t fully recall.
“Why do I have these memories?” Rircka questioned, trying to make sense of why they felt so real, and yet he knew that he didn’t experience them. He focused on his real life, the life he had before he came here and it came to him with the same picture clarity, much to his relief.
The two of them arrived in their classroom, and the displaced human looked around, again memories of lessons coming forward. He recalled spending time here, even though he knew that he had never been here as a student before today. At least as one that wasn’t behind a screen. He walked across the room, again the familiarity of the environment telling where to go. Rircka took his seat and gulped and Rise took the one next to him. He went through the bag and ran his hands over the contents until a feeling of rightness came over him that told him this folder had everything that he would need.
“What’s happening to me?” Rircka questioned, as the teacher entered the room. He quickly took all of his stuff and paid rapt attention as the lesson progressed, hoping that something would come to him if he did.
As the lesson progressed, the young man was pleased that the knowledge that he had gained from college and high school was able to help him out with the lesson. Even though he had been suddenly dropped into a classroom with no indication of what he would be learning, it all came to him easily. It allowed him to think more about his situation and the full ramifications as well.
Rircka wiggled his feet as he tapped his foot against the floor, and as they did they changed. The young man’s face twitched as his feet felt like they were being squeezed by something, and his breathing picked up a little more as they continued to get tighter. They let out a low crack as they got smaller, his toes adjusting to their new size. The young man moved his feet from side to side as they got smaller and could feel his shoes loosen as they did until they became smaller petite womanly feet. Suddenly his shoes followed his example and tightened around his feet ensuring that they wouldn’t just go flying off.
Rircka crossed his legs as they trimmed, losing some of the fat that they had gained over the years. His lower legs got smaller, trimming as they refined with soft delicate muscle. When they finished changing he had toned calves that perfectly complemented his new feet.
It refused to stop there, reaching his thighs, which now started to balloon and push his pants. The young man blinked when he noticed that his thighs felt like they were brushing against each other and continuing to rub against the other. Riricka looked down and gasped when he saw his thighs swelling, straining his pants and making him wince as his pants got tighter. The displaced boy watched as the gentle supple curve of his ballooning thighs became more prevalent with every agonizing second.
“What’s happening to me?” Rircka questioned again. It was the one question that he kept having as if it was on a loop as they continued to grow. He squeezed them and shuddered at the bolt of pleasure that coursed through his body and made him shudder. If it wasn’t for his pants he was sure that the flesh would have escaped between his fingers with how plush they were now. He didn't know what he could say or do with everything that had happened.
The moment class ended was like a godsend to the young man and Rircka stared at the transformed legs. He poked and prodded them, shuddering as his fingers went into the flabby flesh with greater ease. There were small tiny bolts of pleasure that came from them, but they did nothing to alleviate his worry. It only served to make the dry heaving that he wished to do all the stronger, and even now his stomach churned as if he was about to throw up.
The next class started far too quickly for the young man and he forced himself to relax. His fingers curled and his breathing hitched slightly as he forced himself to look forward and focus on the lesson, but he couldn’t. Not with the trend of his body had been changing, and knew that something else would look more feminine in the next hour. The only question was what would happen next.
His arms felt cold and he breathed through his nose as he tried to think of something to do. The nails that he had spent little time caring for grew longer, sharpening. A small reflective sheen came over them that he immediately knew was nail polish. He wiggled his fingers and flinched at how smaller they were getting as the seconds passed. Soon there was nothing left of his large fingers and in their place were perfect dainty womanly hands that would have been perfect on a lady.
The changes went up his arms and Rircka shook as his forearms changed, becoming slimmer. He hesitantly prodded them as if they would explode if he did so too much. The flesh there tightened ever so slightly as they got smaller, tightening into smaller feminine limbs. The womanly appearance only became more prominent as they changed.
Rircka's biceps deflated and he gulped. He squeezed his arms through his clothes and he could tell how much smaller they were getting. Some of the flab that they had disappeared and gained the same trimmed refined appeal that his arms had. Rircka winced as his shoulders let out a small pop as they got smaller to better fit his smaller frame. When it was over, Ririka ran his hands over his altered limbs, wondering if this was real and not some fantasy that he was having. He rolled up the sleeves of his jacket to check for himself and felt the same hairless slimmer, womanly limbs.
“Ririka?” The feminizing young man jumped at the concerned feminine voice and turned his head so fast that one would think that he had gotten whiplash with how swiftly he did. He turned and saw Rise, the class having long since finished what they were doing, and packing up for lunch. “Are you ok? You have been acting weird all day.”
Ririka wished that he had an answer that would have satisfied the poor girl, but he knew that there was no way that he could explain it, especially since Rise didn’t seem to notice them already. What could she say that wouldn’t make her seem like an absolute lunatic or crazy to Rise?
A buzz from his pants made the young man yelp and wonder what it was until he remembered that it was his phone. Ririka reached down to get his phone out, wondering who or what could have messaged him considering that he had no service in this world. To his shock instead of pulling out a black smartphone, he pulled out a bright yellow flip phone.
‘How long has it been since I held one of these?’ Ririka wondered as she opened and closed the device. He knew that he had one of these when he was a teenager and they fell out of style when smartphones became more apparent, seeing it now was almost like holding an old treasure.
“Oh, looks like we will be meeting up with the others on the roof for lunch,” Rise said with a pleased smile.
All of the worry that Ririka had at that moment disappeared at her words. A small bit of excitement went through him at the thought of seeing the rest of the Persona 4 cast. These had been characters that he had long admired and adored for many years and now he was going to see them in person. A smile came to his face and he couldn’t help but grab his bag in excited glee. As bad as winding up here and the changes that were happening to his body were, he could take some solace from the fact that he would be able to see all of them.
Ririka followed Rise out of the classroom, almost skipping in his step with how excited he was. His lungs felt like they were clenched in the excitement that he had. Again the memories of the game and some new ones in this world of time that he had spent with the people that he liked came forward and all that he could feel were excitement. Though, he would make sure to try and find a way back after he met them all. If he could go back to his world, then maybe it would reverse all of the changes that he had gone through at this point.
As the two of them went to the roof, Ririka felt off about his hair, as if someone was running their hands through it. The effeminate boy could feel something trailing down his ears and gulped as he grabbed it. Ririka winced in slight pain and then eased as he realized that it was his hair. He pulled it up, preferring to focus on that rather than the crowd around him as his hair changed color. His blonde locks slowly changed and gained a small reddish tint that became more prevalent as time passed.
Ririka's hair trailed down his ears, making the displaced human shudder slightly as he hesitantly reached up, already having a feeling about what it was. He felt like he was touching his hair and gulped as he could feel it brush against his digits and curl slightly. He breathed a little heavier, as he tried to keep himself calm. it tickled his chin as it moved, and could feel some of it brush against his back as it did. By the time it was over it now reached down to his chest and he was left with beautiful coppery silky smooth hair that was a perfect match for Rise’s. They made it to the rooftop and to their surprise they were the only ones there.
“Looks like we are the first ones here,” Rise said.
Ririka didn’t pay it much thought as he continued to examine his hair and move it around as if it was a toy. The fluffiness was a shock for him that he couldn’t quite get used to. It was so soft and cuddly that he couldn't bring himself to stop as if he was snuggling with a soft and fluffy blanket.
“Getting a little tired of your hair going all over the place, don’t worry Ririka, I know just the way to fix that,” Rise said. The young woman went through her bag, pulled out some hair ties, and smiled as she grabbed some of Ririka’s hair. The young man blushed as her soft delicate hands fiddled with his hair, taming the longer strands of hair. The young man calmed as she messed with his hair, finding it somewhat relaxing.
More memories came to Ririka, of the two of them being younger, before Rise left Inaba. Memories of when he was a little kid, the two of them together, playing various games, singing together, and anything else they could do. The two of them were inseparable from each other and did everything that they could together.
“Man, it feels good to do that again,” Rise sighed, happily. “We should do more stuff like that again. When was the last time that we did each other's hair like that?”
“It…has been a while,” Ririka admitted. Again the memories were still a little disorienting for him, but the fact that he was able to recall his life in his original world with the same clarity did something good and allowed him to keep some measure of control. Though he noticed that he couldn’t look at Rise the same way he did earlier. The crush that he had disappeared the longer that he was around her, now he could only look at her the same way that he would an old friend or a sibling with how close they were.
The door opened, and Ririka’s jaw dropped at the sight of the gang coming through the door. First was Yousuke, Chie, Yukiko, and Kanji, all of them dressed exactly as they did in the show. The one following up behind them all was none other than Narukami Yu.
Ririka stared at the protagonist, a part of him feeling a little disappointed that he was here, but was still eager. If there was one thing that he would always approve of Narukami Yu, was that he had style in the game. Looking at him now he could see why so many girls, all but threw themselves at him. He was good-looking, plus he did manage to help them get over the issues that they were having. What wasn’t there to love about a guy who was willing to do that for you? For some reason, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of him and his face burned for a reason that he couldn’t identify.
The displaced human’s nose twitched and the warmth that came over his face multiplied to the point that sweat was coming over him. Ririka’s nose let out a faint pop as it got smaller and he could breathe a little easier. He winced as his cheekbones adjusted, changing the shape of his face into that of a heart, and making his face soften further. The heat quickly abated and he breathed as it ended.
The young man pulled out the new phone that he had and braced himself for whatever he might see next. Ririka jumped when he saw looking back at him was an exact copy of Rise’s face, which was only exasperated by the hair color and same hairstyle it was in. The only difference being the glasses he wore.
More memories came forward of him with Rise, though gone was the friend-like dynamic and its place was one of twin sisters. Ririka’s memories told her that the two of them had been thick as thieves before her sibling had gone off to be a pop star. They would do everything together from seeing movies, playing games, and anything that their little minds could come up with, and they did it.
Thankfully the effeminate young man could still remember his past with crystal clear clarity that allowed him to think about everything else. It was the one thing that prevented him from having a total freakout.
The glasses that he wore thinned down. The black spectacles changed as they gained a pinkish color that became more prevalent. He pulled them off and watched as their colors fully changed. By the time they finished changing, Ririka’s black glasses had become stylish pink glasses that would have been perfect for a girl to wear. She sighed as she put them back on, and found comfort from the familiar weight.
“Are you ok Rirka?” Yu questioned as he placed his hand on Rirka’s forehead, earning a blush from being so close to a handsome guy like Yu.
“Yeah, I’m fine! It’s just been…one of those days,” Rirka answered. The words sounded stupid the moment that they came out of his mouth with how flimsy they seemed.
The white-haired boy didn’t seem at all pleased with the answer as he continued to stare at him, and Rirka squirmed further under his inspection, especially with how close he was. It gave him the perfect opportunity to examine his strong masculine features.
“Do you need something to drink?” Yu questioned.
“I’m fine,” Rirka waved off.
“Don’t worry if my sis needs to eat I got our bentos, Sempai” Rise answered as she went through her bag and pulled out two bentos. She then winked at him and continued flirtatiously. “If you want I'm willing to share with you.”
More memories came rushing forward of the first day that the white-haired boy had come to Inaba and their first meeting. How he just seemed to be going with the flow and everything that was happening, a little lost even as he got used to things. Honestly, with how nice he seemed and how lost he was on those first couple of days, he wanted to do what he could to make him feel a little welcome. It had led to the two of them hanging out regularly ever since he had arrived and the thought of Rise getting with him made his stomach churn as if vomit had gotten on his shoes.
Rirka's thoughts were interrupted by a pull between his legs that made him shudder as he struggled to keep his head on straight as his fifth limb was pulled into his body. He breathed in and out, trying to keep a level head as he could feel every centimeter of his member disappear. His body shuddered in aroused embarrassment as his face burned brightly. He gulped as he tried to keep himself from going mad, but it was getting harder with every bit that disappeared. He could feel the front of his member enter his body and shuddered as he desperately bit back the moan of arousal that wanted to come out of him.
What made it worse was his balls that were trailing along his thighs almost teasingly. A tired pant came from him as he shook his head, forcing himself to keep some measure of control as the changes continued. His jitters only got worse as the heat between his legs only continued to spike when they reached the entrance between his legs. A gasp came from the transitioning man as his shuddering grew from his balls forcing themselves into her new hole, completing the transition.
The sudden loss of her manhood made the young woman reel and she gulped as she stumbled back, her vision getting blurry. Ririka looked down as she stumbled and watched as the male uniform that she wore changed. The pants merged to form a black checkered skirt and the jacket that she wore combined with her top to form the sailor-style female uniform. Ririka’s face burned slightly at being in the female attire, but the embarrassment she had was vastly overwhelmed by the sudden change in gender and how weak her body already was.
Before Rirka could land on her butt, someone had wrapped their arms around her waist and held her close. She shook her head and was surprised to see Yu was the one holding her, and looking at her with a small frown as his eyes shone with concern. Her face burned at being so close to Yu and could feel the slim muscle he had, pressing against her body. She never would have thought that he was this defined by how he looked in the anime. Before she could say anything, Yu lifted Ririka off the ground and held her in a bridal style that made her heart skip a beat.
“Rirka are you alright?” Rise asked, rushing over to the pair and looking at her like any good worried sister would.
“I’m…I’m okay,” Rirka replied, just rolling with the new name.
“I’ll take her to the nurse's office,” Yu declared.
“T-There’s no need for you to hold me like this,” Rirka stuttered, hating that she was liking it. “I can walk on my own…”
“I don’t want you to stress yourself,” Yu answered in the same cool tone that she remembered so fondly that would make the girls swoon.
Rirka couldn’t help but squeal at how cool Yu sounded and her face darkened at the giggle. She closed her eyes, hoping that she would wake up, but it only made her embarrassment worse as her sister let out an aww that she knew was because of how cute she looked. She forced her eyes open and saw Rise had her phone out and took a picture, much to her horror. Yousuke rushed to the door and held it open for him. She saw Yousuke send a thumbs up for some reason but paid it little thought as Yu walked.
As they went down the stairs Rirka shuddered as her butt felt like it was tingling, her breathing picked up, and then she blushed as she could feel it growing, making her underwear a little tighter. Despite her posterior’s growth, she could feel it tighten, gaining some hint of athleticism. When it was over the former boy knew that she had a toned perky butt. She rubbed it and her blush darkened at the bolts of pleasure that went through her and she noticed the peach-like firmness it had.
“Rika?” Yu questioned.
“Could you please put me down?” Rika said, her voice timid. Again the new name settled in her head just as easily as the rest of the changes that had happened to her. The heat that came from her inflated rear made her want to pat her buttocks and see what it was like, but she restrained herself. As much as she knew Yu was a good guy, there was no way that she would do that with him around.
“Are you sure?” Yu questioned, his strong voice making her melt a little at the genuine concern.
“Yes,” Rika said. While a part of her was a little disappointed at the thought about being put down, it would be weird if someone were to see them like this. There was no way that she was going to let the rumor mill go wild.
“Do I have to?” Yu asked.
“I…uhh,” Rika started. The young woman didn’t know how she should respond to that as the flush on her face darkened again. She couldn’t believe that Yu said something like that to her with a straight face.
Before Rika could even formulate a string of something to say in return, the heat that assaulted her body spiked. The young woman looked down at her flat chest and her face darkened as her chest pushed out. She stared at her growing bust, preferring to focus on that rather than look at him so her mind could. The outline of a visible pair of breasts formed that made her shake. She breathed through her nose resisting the urge to moan as her pecs pushed out. Every second that they grew was like someone teasing her, especially as their growth slowed. Her bust’s expansion came to a stop when her breasts became a large C-cup that were the size of large oranges.
“Rika?”
“Oh…yes Yu-kun?” Rika started and then looked up, hoping that she had gotten her blush under control and looked like she wasn’t struggling anymore with the heat in her loins.
The next thing, Rika knew there was a pair of soft lips being pressed against hers. It took her a second for her to realize that Yu was kissing her. The young woman’s eyes widened at the gentle kiss on her lips. Her red face darkened further at her first kiss. No, that wasn’t her first kiss, well it was her first kiss technically in this world and life but still, it did not detract from the fact that it was her first kiss with a man.
“Would you like to go out to dinner after school, Rika?” Yu questioned.
“L-like… a d-date?” Rika questioned. The young woman couldn’t believe that this was happening. Not that she was against it, but her heart felt like it might burst out of her chest.
“Should I kiss you again?” Yu questioned with the same blank face that he had before.
“I…uhh,” Rika sputtered as her mouth moved on its own. The copper-haired girl tried to think of something that she could say, but her mind became duller than a sack of hammers because of what just happened. Her face burned at the thought of them smooching.
“You’re adorable when you get so flustered like that,” Yu commented, and then before Rika could react, Yu leaned down and kissed her again. “I want us to be together, I want to be with you because I love you.”
Unlike before when the former boy was too stunned to properly react, this time, the young woman was able to react. She returned the affection given, slipping her tongue with his as if they were vying for dominance. All of the emotions and memories that Rika had gained as her body assimilated to the world that she was in came rushing in all at once. What was once only a slim drip came in all at once, perfectly coexisting with the memories of her old identity. They continued to kiss each other and only broke apart again when the two of them needed to fill their lungs. They stared at each other with warm smiles, the two of them pleased by the romantic affection they had just displayed.
“Can you put me down please?” Rika questioned. If she was going to do anything then she would do it when she was on her own feet rather than being held in his arms. No matter how nice they were.
Yu gently placed her down as Rika shakily stood up. She got rid of the wrinkles on her uniform, making sure that she looked like a true prim and proper student, but also because of the weight of her new chest.
“So do you have a place in mind?” Rika questioned.
“Is that a yes?” Yu questioned, the calm veneer having a slight tinge of worry in it, that she almost didn’t notice.
“Do I have to kiss you?” Rika giggled, earning a laugh from Yu.
“I have just the place set up already,” Yu answered with a charming smile that put her at ease. A growl came from Rika’s stomach that made her blush.
“C’mon there’s some good food waiting for you,” Yu said.
The two of them went back to the roof, knowing that they would have to make up for the time that they lost with their confession. Both of them would say without hesitation that the gained was more than worth the time lost. Though Rika hoped that she would be able to survive her sister’s teasing until she finally got it out of her system. It was going to be a while before she stopped.
A Few Years Later
Rika sighed as she browsed the web, looking for anything about the Phantom Thieves as Rise’s newest album played in the background. With how much time had passed she was sure that they would be active around this time. She would make sure not to be in the city at the time, especially since the Thieves would be able to handle it themselves. Besides, it was unlikely that they would just let her help them if they knew. It was weird to pay so much attention to the news, but it would help her out in this case, especially since Strikers came out. While their groups might have gone their separate ways in pursuit of their dreams or desires, they still kept in touch and made sure that they would be able to spend time together.
She had committed herself to her studies and unlike her previous world, this time she knew what she wanted and was gunning for it like crazy. This time she would be able to get the degree that she wanted far quicker.
Rika faintly heard the door open and was about to turn around but stopped when someone lovingly wrapped their arms around her waist, earning a squeal from her before she relaxed. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at the sight of her long-time boyfriend, Narukami Yu.
“You haven’t had too much trouble today I hope. Got everything that you needed done?” Yu questioned.
“Yeah I got all of my stuff done, I’m just seeing what is going on in the world,” Rika answered. “So far nothing disastrous.”
“Good, I wouldn’t want our date to make things harder for you if you needed to work on something,” Yu smirked.
“It would have been just like Yasogami all over again,” Rika sighed. Back then whenever they had a date planned or something the two of them would work together to get their homework done as fast as possible. After they did then they would spend the rest of their time together on small little dates, like watching a movie, playing a game, or whatever else came to mind.
“Are you ready?”
“Of course!” Rika exclaimed as she got out of her seat and turned off her computer. She got out the wrinkles of her dress. She had wanted to look her best when it was time for their date and this time was no different.
The two of them left the room, both eager to have some fun. Unknown to the copper-haired woman, the Wildcard’s other hand was holding a small black box, that would make this night one that she would always remember fondly.
