>>1640421It was early in the evening when Kiyone returned from the market. The sun was setting, the streets were peaceful, cicadas could be heard in the distance, and that shy girl from class had walked by absolutely naked.
Wait...what?
The brunette canted her head backward with a disbelieving look, as if to confirm what she thought she saw. Had there been any lingering doubts, the sight of that bare posterior retreating in the distance clinched it.
Stranger still, no one seemed to be paying the blushing girl any mind but her. Not even the males who passed her by. That was beyond weird. It wasn't like she was bad looking... wait, wrong train of thought.
So she hurried up to the bright-haired girl, and against better judgment, touched a hand to her shoulder. Maybe no one else in the street cared, but she wouldn't let her walk home defenseless.
"Are you okay? I can get you some he-..."
Kiyone's voice fell silent as the girl turned and smiled at her, the blush draining from her face, and she realized the female's body was slowly turning translucent.
It was a ghost, a specter, something... not human? "Oh, someone finally noticed... only a girl with a caring heart, selfless enough to help another would ever see me and set me free from this. Well, thank you ever so much..."
Kiyone tried to back away, but her body felt frozen as those soft green eyes met hers, and her muscles no longer responded.
"...but now you have to take my place." Kiyone tried to scream, but as the pink haired girl vanished from view... so did every inch of the brunette's clothing.
And not a single passerby paid her any mind.
