Extra Episode Part 3 - Continued

The next day, or more accurately, the third day, I sat in front of Fuujima once again.
"Transient global amnesia," Fuujima said, holding a manga in his hands and resting his legs, clad in black stockings, on the table.
They all tell you not to tempt your students! You perverted teacher!
"Transient amnesia is caused by the brain being..."
"Sorry! I already know this."
"Because you are a delinquent, it's normal to forget even if you try to, right?"
"Huh? What kind of creature is a delinquent in your mind? A goldfish?"
"Not only have I lost my memory of Monday, but also Wednesday's has disappeared!"
"Hmm..."
"And when I woke up this morning, I found myself lying in the trash can again."
"Hmm..."
"Pay attention when people are talking to me!" I snatched the manga from Kazama's hand, blushing, and averted my gaze after looking at the cover.
This guy is actually watching *** in the health room in broad daylight!
At first, Fuuzen had puffed up his cheeks, but after seeing my reaction, he chuckled and said, "So, Aoki-kun is actually so innocent! I thought Aoki-kun, who has already stepped onto the adult ladder, is no longer interested in this kind of thing."
"I'm definitely not uninterested! No wait...I'm definitely interested! No, that's not right...I haven't reached the level of an adult yet!"
"Wasn't it because you went to a brothel without money and got kicked out? To think you actually go twice a week, Sugimaki-kun, you're really thirsty."
Feng Jianyan Cover Mouth and Exclaimed, His Eyes constantly scanning my lower body.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
"Ah, what? Are you complaining?"
"I've been looking online these days, and there has never been such a case before. So I want to ask if you know anything about it?"
"Well..." Kazama tapped the table with her fingertips, and my heart swayed back and forth with her fingers.
"Maybe he was abducted by aliens." After pondering for a while, she came to this conclusion.
"Huh?"
"You see, it often says in books, right? Someone goes missing for several days and then returns home..."
"I say, you're a doctor, right? Think about the problem from a medical perspective!"
"Hmm... Perhaps you are a genetically modified artificial human?"
"I see..."
"Hey, come on, make fun of me!"
"Maybe I am a genetically modified artificial human mixed with goldfish genes, you know, they say goldfish have a memory of only seven seconds, right?"
"I'm sorry, the teacher actually found other possibilities."
Feng Jian was sitting down, bowing to apologize to me.
"Other possibilities?"
"Take a look at this—" Feng Jian opened a page on the computer.
I went up to take a look and involuntarily recited, "Identity disorder due to differential recognition of mind and body."
Feng Jian nodded, "It's also known as schizophrenia."
I continued reading, "The differences in behavior of such patients cannot be explained by the different behaviors of normal people in different situations and roles. It's like completely different people, each personality has its own name, memory, traits, and behavior. Usually, the original personality is not aware of the existence of another personality."
"Isn't it very in line with your criteria?"
"..." My brain was buzzing with this bombshell news, and I couldn't say a word.
"In order to protect one's own spirit, people will selectively forget some memories. These forgotten memories will show up under a certain circumstance, which is..."
"Schizophrenia..."
"Have you recently experienced any major setbacks?" Fumika reminded.
"Not really..." I shook my head, anyway, I've been doing okay for the past ten years, it can't get much worse."
"Well... then you had better go to the hospital to check it out, after all—"
"It says here: 'The time when another personality appears will gradually become longer than the host personality's, and unconsciously invade the body.'"
Oh... ah?
Looking back now, my body has been invaded for two days, hasn't it?
If this continues to develop, will I die? Occupied my body by that interloper.
Is this possibly the least painful way to die?
"Aoki, are you crying?"
"No..."
"... What?"
"Although I have also thought about dying, but... I really have so many things I still want to do..."
"For example?"
“我还没有和女孩子牵过手呢！”
“有点出息好吗？你可是个不良哦。”
“才不是不良啊！”我抽泣着说道，“明明……明明我也没有干什么坏事……除了偶尔逃课以外，也没有欺负过别人……”
"Skipping class is already very wrong, isn't it?"
"...can't you just comfort me a little?"
"... I'm sorry."
……
I don't remember how I got out of Fumika's place, I just remember that when I came to, I was already in front of my house.
Pushing open the door, my mother was busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, Mom..." I couldn't remember how long it had been since I had called her like this, these two words awkwardly burst out of my mouth.
My mother raised her head and glanced at me, without saying a word.
She's as cold as ever, but I can't worry about that now. I continued, "These past ten years...I've caused you so much trouble, I'm really...sorry."
Struggling to finish the sentence, I rushed up the stairs.
"Yah!"
Something bumped into my body, I staggered and steadied myself.
"Sis, sister?" I looked in surprise at the girl I had knocked down, she had never been back so early due to her studies.
Just thinking that I might never see her again, I couldn't help but feel sad. I suddenly bent down:
"It's really great to be your little brother! Thank you very much."
"Uh...hmm?"
Leaving my sister in a daze, I ran back to my own room.
The sun cast the last bit of twilight, and the whole room began to shimmer and shine.
So lovely!
After staring blankly for a while, I sat down at the table.
Perhaps tonight, I will fall into a never-ending slumber. At least, let me leave behind something in the last moments of my life.
Take out the most exquisite notebook from the collection, and I unleash my thoughts on the pale yellow paper:
To Another Self
I am really sorry. It took a lot of effort to be born, but I ended up in the body of a guy like me.
I have no friends, and my family hates me. The only purpose of this body seems to be causing trouble for others, right? Even so, I hope you can treat it well. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't.
很久以前就考虑过去死的事，可一直鼓不起勇气。真是谢谢你了……
Yeah right!
其实我也有很多想做的事啊！好想有个女朋友啊！
But now it's too late to say all this. I hope you can fulfill my little wish, but of course it doesn't matter if you can't, after all, it's quite difficult!
Finally, please treat my mother and sister well, I love them.
ps. If you find my father, please give him a good beating for me.
pss. My collections are all in the box under the bed, feel free to take them, no need to be polite.
To the original owner of this body, I salute you.
Placing the notebook in the most conspicuous place on the desk, I lie quietly in bed, awaiting the arrival of the final moment...
No! I suddenly sat up, at least, I still want to have dinner with them one more time.
That evening, I didn't exchange harsh words with my mother and sister at the dinner table, which was a rare occurrence. After a comfortable hot shower, I lay down in bed once again.
The warmth of the bathroom seemed to still surround me, causing my consciousness to gradually become fuzzy...
On the second day, no, maybe it was the third day, I opened my eyes and found myself lying in bed in the room.
Looking at the alarm clock on the bedside, it was already pointing to eight o'clock.
I'm going to be late for school... I thought to myself as I slowly sat up and reached for the neatly folded clothes next to me.
Huh? I never neatly fold my clothes like this before going to sleep.
Is it done by another guy who is possessed in my body?
On the table, the notebook was obviously touched by someone. After opening it, it was placed vertically next to the computer, casting deep shadows in the sunlight.
I almost jumped to the edge of the desk and started flipping through with an urgent heart.
Finally, on the other side of my writing, there was an ugly handwriting that said:
"So you're still here, what a pity (╯︵╰)——"
Since it's handwritten, please don't use emoticons!
"At first, it really scared me. Suddenly becoming a boy...I thought I had crossed over like in a novel..."
What does this mean? Isn't this guy another consciousness of mine? With strong curiosity, I continued reading.
"First of all, you've got it all wrong. I am not some "other you". My name is Kyoko, and if I remember correctly, I should already be dead +_+"
“But just as I was about to die, another voice asked me if I wanted to keep on living, and of course I chose [yes]. And then when I woke up again, I was here.”
"You look really fierce, I was really shocked the first time I looked in the mirror-"
"I'm sorry to look so fierce..."
"But I like it! How about it? Want to be my henchman?"
Is "subordinate" a new way of confession? But I really can't get excited about it!
"And then together, we will seek revenge on that guy!"
Huh? This should be the easy and daily life, right? The style has completely changed, hey!
"If I can fulfill this last wish, maybe I can finally rest in peace and become a Buddha~"
So, does that mean there is hope to drive this guy out of my body?
"ps. Your taste is really terrible. I've disposed of all those collections for you. Don't thank me."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" I screamed miserably as I crawled under the bed, the box full of treasures was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, I made up my mind to help this guy fulfill her wish, and I must get her out of my body!
But the name Apricot always feels like I've heard it somewhere before...
There was a magazine that I had flipped through halfway lying on the bedside. I walked over to put it away, but as soon as my eyes landed on it, I couldn't move away again. The part I hadn't finished reading last time was written—
"...according to the police investigation, the victim had red bruises on her neck, and further examination of the body revealed that the victim died from mechanical asphyxiation...based on the student ID found on the victim, the victim's identity is a student named Kyoko from Tianshui Academy...please have the victim's relatives come to the police station to claim the body as soon as possible...the police stated that they will definitely bring the culprit to justice as soon as possible..."
Apricot... Apricot? It can't be just a coincidence, right?
I put down my notebook in a daze, my brain buzzing with this earth-shattering news.
The spirit that should have vanished in the water, has actually been reborn, and it has attached itself to me, making me seek revenge with her against someone.
When I was a child, I often sighed about the ordinary and unremarkable life, fantasizing about being involved in superpowers, gods, and other things one day.
It wasn't until this day really came that I realized how much I longed for the previous ordinary, even sour daily life.
"Are you there?" I tentatively asked.
…………
A silence.
I should have known better. Could she really talk to me in my head like in novels?
I cursed myself for being foolish, neatly put away the notebook, and pushed open the door to leave.
In the living room, mother is preparing breakfast while humming a song. It looks like she's in a good mood today, but she might be late for work.
Oh! I just remembered, today should be Saturday. This week, my body has been occupied by that person named Kyoko for three days.
If I can't get rid of her soon, doesn't that mean my life is cut in half?
Thinking about it is really scary! I sat on the sofa, determined to ask her if she still has memories of being a victim at night.
“Go wash up quickly,” my mother urged in a brisk tone.
"Huh?" Did the sun rise from the west? My mother actually initiated a conversation with me, which really surprises me.
She continued to babble, "Maybe I didn't care enough about you before, which made you rebellious. But since you have decided to mend your ways, don't look sloppy anymore…"
"I, I see..."
In the bathroom, recalling all the unusual signs this morning, a sudden thought crossed my mind.
"That guy Xingzi, always doing unnecessary things. But, this feeling doesn't seem bad..."
When I returned to the living room, my sister was already sitting at the table.
As my mother put the bread onto plates, she said to my sister, "In the future, you should get along well with Xiaomu and help him with his studies."
As if recalling something, my sister's cheeks turned as red as if on fire: "Who wants to help him? That big pervert!"
"Hey hey, why do you say I'm a pervert?" I sat down on the opposite side of Qing Shui, crossing my arms and glaring at her.
Saying that I am bad is one thing, but calling me a pervert is a blatant insult, I can't tolerate it!
Her sister's face turned even redder: "And you still have the nerve to say you're not a pervert! You... you actually did that kind of thing to me..."
My older sister covered her face and ran away, leaving the room in an awkward silence.
Hey, hey, can you please finish what you were saying? What did I, or Aya, do after all? Mother was starting to look at me with suspicion.
