With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 57

“This time, you take over. Whatever you say, I’ll do.”

Xia Xi whispered to Bai Xiao Cha’s consciousness inside her body.

The opponent was a Level 8 gaming pro. Sure, rock-paper-scissors barely counted as a game, but they were probably still way better at it than she was.

“No problem!” Bai Xiao Cha agreed without hesitation.

She didn’t want to be forced to do weird things or say embarrassing stuff anymore.

To everyone else, the little loli Bai Xiao Cha just looked like she was muttering to herself, head bowed in defeat—probably praying something like, “Dear gods, please let me win the next round.”

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

The same old chant, the same synchronized hand movements, but this time, the outcome was different—Xia Xi won! And not just against one person, but everyone.

Truly a “professional stand-in.” One round, total victory.

“Hurry, hurry! Draw your cards!”

Xia Xi, brimming with triumph, snatched the Truth or Dare cards from Konata’s hands and eagerly shoved them toward the others, urging them to pick one.

“Don’t get too cocky. I’ve got Lady Luck on my side. Even if it’s a dare, it can’t be that bad…” Xia Yue grumbled as she flipped over her card, clearly annoyed.

She should’ve never agreed to secret signals. Losing to Bai Xiao Cha even once was a miscalculation.

Ahem. “My Truth question is, ‘Who do you think is the cutest?’ And the answer’s obvious—my dear Xiao Cha, of course~” Leng Xi Yu flashed her card and declared it outright, praising Bai Xiao Cha without hesitation.

This sent Xiao Cha into a flustered spiral inside her mind.

“Xi Yu-jiejie… She called me ‘hers’! Hehehe, Xi Yu-jiejie said I’m cute~”

Good grief. No wonder everyone loved teasing her. This airheaded kid was beyond saving.

“My Dare is… ‘Measure a friend’s size with your hand.’” Konata’s cosplayer smirked before darting behind Kagami’s cosplayer and launching a sneak attack—a full-on dragon claw grip from behind!

“Whoa, feels like you’ve gotten even bigger!”

“Get off me! Why is your dare turning into my punishment?!” Kagami smacked Konata’s wandering hands away, then proceeded with her own Dare.

Hers was pretty tame—just snuggle up to someone shorter than her. Naturally, she chose Tsukasa, hugging her tight and nuzzling her cheeks.

Tsukasa’s Dare was simple too—just show everyone her photo album.

Unsurprisingly, it was full of group pics and selfies, with not a single private photo in sight.

“Now it’s your turn!” Xia Xi gloated, eyeing Xia Yue’s darkened expression.

That sour face could only mean one thing—she’d drawn something extra humiliating. Finally, sweet revenge!

“Yeah, yeah, I know…” Xia Yue kept her head low, her bangs casting a shadow over half her face, hiding her expression.

Then—whoosh!—she lunged at Xia Xi, grabbing her under the arms and hoisting her high into the air in one swift motion.

“Hehe, my Dare is ‘Give a little kid a lift.’ So, little Xiao Cha~ How’s the view up there?”

This girl… She was barely taller than Bai Xiao Cha, yet she could lift her like it was nothing. Absolutely ridiculous.

But… why was this like Kagami’s situation? Someone else’s Dare, yet he was the one suffering?!

“Put me down!” He flailed, tiny legs kicking midair.

“Nope! Gonna hold you up a little longer~”

Xia Yue was struggling—Bai Xiao Cha might be petite, but she still weighed a good few dozen pounds.

But seeing Xiao Cha’s pouty, helpless face? Worth it.

5:00 PM.

The Himouto trio dragged their exhausted bodies back to their dorm.

They’d nearly run into their homeroom teacher on the way—close call.

No helping it. As students, sneaking off to a con was practically underground rebel activity. Their excuse for leaving campus? “Feeling sick.”

“Ugh, so stuffy! Never wearing a wig again!” Xia Yue yanked off her wig and tossed it onto the desk before flopping onto her bed.

Xia Xi wasn’t faring much better.

Underneath the wig, Bai Xiao Cha’s blue hair was a tangled, greasy mess from being trapped under synthetic fibers all day.

After hours at the con, she was done—no energy left to move, let alone walk. She could’ve slept for a decade straight.

Nobody warned her cons were this exhausting!

And their cosplays didn’t even have heavy props. If they’d been lugging around swords or guns all day, their legs would’ve gone numb.

“But Xiao Cha, you seemed kinda… socially awkward today? Like it was your first time at a con or something.”

Bai Xiao Cha had been to cons before. But Xia Xi? Nope.

As a certified couch-potato college student, he never left the house unless friends dragged him out.

His motto? “Home’s comfy. Going outside is just tiring and boring.”

“What? No way! I was totally fine!” Xia Xi tried to defend himself.

Not that it mattered—right now, he was Bai Xiao Cha, body and all. No normal person would suspect possession or body-snatching.

“Ohhh~? Really fine?” Xia Yue drew out her words teasingly.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?”

Xia Xi kicked off his shoes and collapsed onto Bai Xiao Cha’s bed, still in his socks.

Too tired. Laundry and changing could wait for the real Bai Xiao Cha.

“I don’t believe you~”

Xia Yue grinned mischievously, circling around before pouncing onto the bed, trapping the little loli in a hug like some kind of predatory ruffian.

“Lemme see just how fine you really are~”

Leng Xi Yu, returning from washing her face, smiled softly at the sight of the two goofing off.

She quietly pulled out her phone, snapped a pic of the chaotic cuddle pile, and immediately moved it to a private folder—just in case.

Then, mid-struggle, Bai Xiao Cha’s body suddenly stiffened.

Her expression went blank.

She’d regained control.

“Even Ghost-san couldn’t handle Xia Yue’s harassment, huh~”

The little loli sighed internally.
