Exchange Experience, Ceruno

(Ceruno)

Mono's magic?

It's just the Demon Eye floating around her.

Because she had Demon Eye to replace her sight, after she Witchification, she even closed her eyes, letting those seven or eight Demon Eye fly around the bedroom, and they even crawled under my skirt, which I pulled out and held in my hand as a stress-relieving toy...

It feels very bouncy, like a rubber ball.

"Wow! Don't pinch my eyeballs!"

Mono covered her face and wailed, even though her eyes weren't there.

"So, what can these reconnaissance Demon Eye do?" I asked.

"It's a new power after Witchification! I can switch the sight and hearing of both parties who have had their Demon Eye implanted, remember?"

"Hmm... but what can we do about it?"

"Hmph, Xiaoling!!"

What do you want with Xiaoling?

Mono suddenly shouted at the door, and a head with short black hair dyed red poked its head in from outside, peeking in and revealing two sharp canine teeth with a smile.

"I'm here! Call me if you need anything."

Mono pointed at me and Miluno and said:

"Come on, switch their bodies."

Huh?!?!

I was "fortunate" enough to experience Xiaoling's head-swapping magic once. After the swap, my five senses were still in my body, but I was stripped of control. In reality, my neck and body were not truly connected; it was just a graft.

"Let Xiaoling exchange control of your bodies, and then I will use my Demon Eye to share your senses, thus simulating a 'body exchange'."

I have such mixed feelings.

So the Demon Eye can sense more than just sight and sound?

"... But what can be changed by exchanging bodies?"

"You don't like Miluno being clung to by other girls, so after the swap Barbara will be clinging to you, right? Doesn't that solve your problem indirectly?"

Mono said this with his eyes closed, and Barbara tilted her head in confusion.

"I also like Miru, will that bother Serena?"

"You're in love with my lover! This kind of behavior is unacceptable in human society!"

Barbara hugged Miluno tighter and asked in return:

"Then why can you like it?"

"Because I was here first!!"

Without understanding common sense, without tasting the forbidden fruit of wisdom, and without comprehending the feelings of shyness, they experienced the taste of "liking" someone.

For this reason, Miss Barbara's courtship behavior was almost instinctive...

"Let's go then!"

I opened my arms.

"I want to switch bodies with Miluno."

"Wow! It actually worked!"

I'll find a way to make Xiaoling angry, so she'll use magic to remove my and Miluno's heads, and then put them back on each other's necks.

A straightforward and immersive Louis XVI experience.

"Ha, Miluno has gotten shorter!"

I've grown taller too.

Being tall gives you a fantastic view of others!

But that's not enough. We can only control the other person's body, but we can't sense their five senses. It's not a true exchange of bodies; it's just mutual manipulation. This is where Mono's Demon Eye comes in.

"Let's get this straight: although you can share, my magic can't mask the sensations of your original bodies. So even if you swap bodies, you'll still be able to feel your original bodies. In other words... when you hug each other, you'll feel two sensations!!"

Huh?!

If I were to do that thing right now... no, what am I thinking?

Now is not the time to think about such things!

"That's fine too! I can accept it!"

You can even infer what the other person is doing with their body from their senses...

When I said that, Miluno nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go."

With our permission, the two Demon Eye entered my body and Miluno's body respectively.

This completes the implantation process.

"Then I'll have to share your five senses, okay?"

Then, I felt a hug on my arm; it was Barbara's arm around Miluno... Oh, now it's my arm.

"Miss Barbara, I'm Ceruno now... Miluno over there the one you wanted to hug?"

"No, this is where Mi Luno's body is."

Although she lacked common sense, Miss Barbara was quite clear-headed!

Miluno, who was sitting on the other bed in a duck-like position, now had my body on her.

Her naturally aloof expression, combined with my petite yet wonderfully shaped body, created a kind of ascetic beauty. My seemingly soft body made one want to hold me in their arms and cherish me...

Ah, so this is what it feels like?

I think I can understand everyone's feelings of wanting to hold me back!

"How is it? Does it look natural?"

Mono asked this question, but Miluno replied:

"It's more like everything feels out of place."

"Hmm? Haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

Miluno shook her head and pointed to her heart.

"Ceruno's heart was pounding faster inside me, but I didn't feel anything."

Was it my fault after all?

"Because Miluno is so attractive right now."

It is indeed strange for the body to act against one's will and generate excitement on its own.

"It's a strange feeling, but I don't dislike being able to sense your 'feelings' like this... Mono's suggestion is good, this way you won't be jealous of Barbara, and we can understand each other better... Let's just leave it at that for tonight!"

Miluno said that, but I had other concerns.

"Can Xiaoling's magic withstand it?"

Mono is a witch, so she has an ample reserve of magical power.

But Xiaoling is just a magical girl; can her magic sustain the "head separation and grafting" of two people for one night?

"Worried about that? No problem!"

Xiaoling struck a strong pose.

"At worst, I'll just not let Xiaojie sleep with her head on my chest tonight! Don't let my appearance fool you, I have pretty much stamina!"

So, she spends most of her time with her head ripped off, and when she sleeps, she disassembles herself completely. This is the daily training Miss Antarctic Star arranged for her, and so far it seems to be working well; her magical energy reserves are superior to those of other magical girls of the same age.

"Thanks, Xiaoling."

Goodnight! I'm going back to my room to sleep too!

Barbara definitely doesn't plan to go back to the Garden District as a stage backdrop.

She wouldn't sleep in the next dorm room either; she clung to me, ready to sleep with me for the night... and I didn't want to kick her out.

"Sigh, let's go to sleep then."

Left with no other option, the situation became...

I slept with Barbara in Miluno's bed using Miluno's body;

Miluno used my body and Mono slept in my bed.

What do you mean by sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams?

I don't dislike Barbara. Her pure, innocent, and otherworldly thoughts give her a unique charm. She is too "clean" as a person, more like an elf from a fantasy work.

Just like now...

Although she was touched by my feelings for Miluno, she didn't know what to do next, and she couldn't do anything except hug me wholeheartedly.

"... Um?"

Although that's what I was thinking, I felt a gentle kneading sensation on my chest.

Then, I heard a "thump" from the other bed.

That feeling then disappeared.
