(Kanzaki POV)
‘I can’t believe it worked!’
The moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived. I could see a purple panel appearing in front of me, informing me of the progress of my current mission.
[Quest Mission!]
[1. Heal Her Heart Succeeded!]
[You Gained 200 BP]
Everything I had done, from trying to open up the woman’s trauma to trying to cheer her up in my own clumsy way, had finally paid off.
I clapped inwardly, thanking the body I now possessed. I never expected Kanzaki's memories of Kanazawa-sensei to give me all the ammunition I needed to win this woman’s heart.
While I was hugging Kanazawa-sensei, the softness of her body and her distinct feminine scent invaded my mind, causing my member to twitch.
My hand wrapped around her waist began to grow bolder, slowly crawling downward, more precisely, toward the mass of flesh that was crushed beneath her own weight.
My palm rested on her butt, and reflexively, I squeezed it, letting my trembling fingers sink into it while feeling its incredible softness.
I was about to explore further, but a slight movement from Sensei on my chest startled me, causing me to quickly pull my hand away from her.
“I-I’m sorry Sensei, I...?”
As I tried to find the right excuse, my eyes caught sight of the woman tightly closing her eyes. Her breathing was calm, and she seemed to be deep in a beautiful dream, judging by the slight curve on her lips.
‘Eh, is she asleep?’
I held her shoulder and began shaking the sleeping woman.
“S-Sensei, wake up.”
Kanazawa-sensei’s eyes remained tightly closed, completely undisturbed by my light touches and calls.
‘She’s really asleep.’
I bit my lip and raised my face to stare at the dark ceiling. I really wanted to curse this situation, and at the same time, my heart couldn’t bring myself to wake the woman.
‘Fuck, what am I supposed to do with this thing?!’
My penis began twitching inside my pants as if protesting, because it wasn’t getting the share it had been promised.
What else could I do? The road to a girl’s heart was steep and full of obstacles.
‘Yeah, let’s think positively and just sleep, okay... sniff.’
I ignored the fact that a single tear had begun streaming down my cheeks, as I tried to suppress my depraved thoughts of taking advantage of Kanazawa-sensei while she was asleep.
Carefully, I shifted my sitting position and lay down on the sofa, while continuing to hold her against my chest.
But our overlapping position only gave me another source of trouble—my penis was being pressed against the woman’s stomach.
Thanks to the thin fabric on my clothes, I could feel the warmth and softness of her stomach.
‘Damn it, how am I supposed to sleep like this?’
I closed my eyes, trying to sink into a dream world that would surely reward me for not falling into the pit of temptation. …A wet dream perhaps?
...But why did I have to hold myself back when there was such a delicious dish right in front of me?
I shook my head, trying to drive away all my lust, whispering inwardly.
‘A man never goes back on his word... Wait, I’m a woman now, aren’t I?’
I wanted to silence the devil in my mind, whose voice was becoming clearer with each passing time.
Out of options, I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes until I was tormented by the endless darkness that enveloped my heart with unbearable unease.
‘Endure it, endure it.’
Time passed as my reasoning and lust continued to wrestle within my chest. And without me realizing it, a small ray of light slipped through the curtain crack in the room, signaling that the day had changed.

“Kanzaki, are you really alright?”
Kanazawa-sensei and I were standing inside a narrow elevator, heading downstairs and making our way to campus for our respective business.
Although I only had classes in the afternoon today, I forced my exhausted body to go anyway.
In the polished wall beside me, I saw my own reflection. My face looked weary, with dark bags under my eyes.
“You should rest for the day.”
The woman beside me kept warning me while holding my hand, afraid that I might collapse at any moment.
I shook my head and opened my mouth.
“Don’t worry, Sensei. I’ll rest in the campus infirmary.”
“But...?”
The reason she kept showering me with attention was because, when she woke up this morning, she realized that she was still lying in my embrace and apologized for possibly troubling me throughout the night.
I told her it was fine, yet, she was quite stubborn, so I let her pamper me.
The kindness she showed me today made me grateful, for I managed to fight my own demons and come out victorious.
‘Not bad!’
A ‘ding’ resounded, and the elevator doors in front of me slid open in both directions. Since I didn’t want to continue the conversation, I immediately took Sensei’s hand and walked outside the building.
When the taxi we awaited arrived, Kanazawa-sensei pulled me inside and told the driver to take us to Tokyo Public University.
During the journey, the woman occasionally glanced at me with a worried expression. Meanwhile, I shifted my gaze toward the system panel that had appeared.

‘Can I postpone a mission?’
There was no answer, only the roar of the car as it traveled along the streets of Tokyo. My head began to nod off. I pinched my thigh to keep me awake.
This wasn’t the first time I had stayed up all night. I even had a record of going two days without sleeping while I was in the hospital... Well, thanks to that, I got scolded by the nurse there.
But it seemed to be different with Kanzaki’s body. If I remember correctly, even though her life was difficult, the girl had never once stayed up all night because, according to her, rest was important for facing the next day.
‘Her way of thinking is pretty healthy.’
I didn’t know how many times I had been amazed by this girl named Kanzaki. She was just an ordinary person living an ordinary life as best she could, but, that was exactly what I had longed for in the past, where I could only stare at the world through the transparent glass of my hospital room.
‘Wait, maybe the fact that I had been fighting my lust was also the cause.’
I chuckled and looked toward the window, watching the scenery pass by as I waited until we arrived at campus.
The tires squeaked softly before the car came to a stop right in front of the campus gate, which was still relatively empty of students.
When I was about to pay my own share, Kanazawa-sensei pushed my hand away and paid for everything.
“No, Kanzaki. You don’t have to.”
“But...”
Before I could finish my sentence, the woman shook her head and looked straight at me.
“Use that money for yourself. Besides...” She paused for a moment, then finished the payment and motioned for me to get out at the same time.
I was still waiting to hear what she wanted to say next, but the woman chose to remain silent and walked through the entrance gate.
Before I knew it, the two of us were already in the lobby.
“S-Sensei, about what you said just now?”
I gathered the courage to ask, making the woman turn toward me and smile.
“You promised you’d treat Sensei to a meal, right?”
Hearing that, I blinked my eyes several times, reminding me of the small promise we made that day.
“Of course. I haven’t forgotten.”
‘And that’s when we’ll have s*x!’ I added.
I pinched my own thigh, reminding myself just how wild the lust inside me was.
‘Shut up, me!’
Kanazawa-sensei nodded. Her face was brighter, she looked more beautiful than usual. The woman let out a short breath, her relaxed expression returning to a rigid, strict one. She was entering her professor mode.
“That's it for now, Sensei will go to the office. Kanzaki, you need to rest in the infirmary. I’ll come check on you later in case you’re still asleep.”
I bid her farewell and walked in the opposite direction from her office.
As I walked, I glanced behind me and saw that the woman was still standing in the lobby. Then, when our eyes met, she waved at me.
Seeing that adorable gesture made my lips spread into a grin. I waved back at her.
‘God damn it, she’s adorable.’
Where had the strict expression that was on her face gone? I shrugged my shoulders. I didn’t mind her changing. In fact, this was exactly what I had been aiming for.
‘Little by little. Be patient, and I’ll definitely get my reward someday.’
My footsteps felt light as they carried me to the infirmary. I stood in front of the door and knocked three times before a voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open with a creak, releasing the cold air trapped inside, along with the distinctive smell of medicine that entered my nose.
Inside the room, three beds with white mattresses were lined up neatly. In front of them stood a cabinet that was filled to the brim by drugs.
There was also a work desk with a computer on top. Sitting in front of the monitor was a beautiful, curvy adult woman named Hanamura Kagura. She was the nurse at this campus as well as a teacher who taught biology.
“Hanamura-sensei.”
When I called her, the woman looked at me and showed a surprised expression for a second before her face returned to its usual serene expression.
I swallowed. From behind her glasses, her sharp red eyes seemed to undress me. Although she was beautiful, for some reason, I had the feeling that this woman was looking at me like a predator staring at its prey.
‘...As if. I’m the predator here.’
The woman chuckled and leaned back against her chair. She then crossed her legs, showing off her plump thighs wrapped in black stockings that caught my attention.
To make matters worse, the woman was wearing a white shirt with several buttons undone, revealing her cleavage. I could faintly see a black bra underneath.
She slipped both hands into the pockets of the white mantle she wore over her shirt.
“Kanzaki, what brings you here?”
When my name was called, I blinked in confusion. Since when had I introduced myself to this woman?
Then, old memories surfaced from when Kanazawa-sensei had brought me here. That was probably when she learned my name.
“Sensei, may I use one of the beds to rest for a while before my afternoon class? I didn’t get enough sleep last night... Oh, and don’t worry. I don’t have any classes this morning, so...”
Hanamura-sensei smiled softly and extended her index finger toward the bed near the window.
“Go ahead and use it. Sensei is grateful to have someone accompany her in this dull, boring room.”
I almost retorted, ‘Then, why did you choose to become a nurse?’ but held back and forced a strained smile.
“T-Thank you.”
I walked closer to the bed. As soon as my body lay down on it, my eyelids started to feel heavy. I surrendered to the exhaustion, then my consciousness quickly sank into a comfortable darkness.
***
I don’t know how much time has passed. My long or short sleep was disturbed by the sensation of something wet and warm gripping my crotch.
Then, the wet ‘slap-slap-slap’ of flesh colliding echoed in my ears, forcing me to open my eyes and see an unbelievable scene where Hanamura-sensei was sitting on top of me, with our private parts joined together.
“Oh, good morning, sleepyhead!”
The woman licked her lips, staring at me like a hungry predator.
