Chapter 1
One morning, when I woke up from a worrisome dream, I noticed I had become a catgirl.
There on the table was a mirror, and on top of my face in the midst of my hair, bounced a pair of animal ears. Underneath that was my face…….but it was different from my usual face. The eyes appeared a little bigger and rounder. The lips also had become rounder and fuller. When you added up all of those “little changes,” they completely changed the impression of my face.
“T...this means…..”
Perplexed, I tried touching my face with my hand. The skin on my cheek was surprisingly soft to the touch of a fingertip, and it responded by indenting around the finger.
“This means….I’m a girl?”
In the mirror a girl pressed both hands to against her cheeks and stared back at me with a bewildered expression.

I guess, I was kinda cute…
While making the face of a completely captivated girl, I had that thought.
Had someone pulled a prank on me while I was sleeping?
I was definitely wearing a hair band. And if someone had put makeup on me while I was asleep, my face could look like this.
“It must be Misaki-san because she’s always doing weird pranks….”
As I remembered the face of our mischievous boarder, the ears made sense.
But I couldn’t take them off. They seemed to be attached on top of my head. Maybe she glued them on…? While I uneasily tried to escape from that conclusion, I tried pulling on them once more. Yep, I couldn’t take them off. In fact, tugging on them hurt a little. When I pinched the top of the ears hard, the place where I pulled throbbed with pain. It hurts? What does that mean? Where does it hurt?
“Could it be...these ears are alive?!”
In that moment I realized that what had befallen me couldn’t be explained by a simple prank.
