"(Y/n), so you choose to satisfy your curiosity. I wonder where your fate will lead you now."
She said mysteriously then paused for a second before continuing
"That potion that fell on you is permanent...I could obviously turn you back with another potion but I told you to live with what happens. Now that you have learned this lesson you should realize that all your actions have consequences~"
"Is this some kind of foreshadowing you are trying to do? I am happy with how this turned out! I got what I want today and now I am satisfied. Same it's going to be when I take over the school! I always was curious if I would manage to do such a thing."
I tell her looking into her eyes with my signature smile
"Then go ahead, satisfy your curiosity and I hope it all will turn out like today 'the way you wanted' "
She spoke with a smile while her actions spoke other words. She aggressively was poking my new form while I was zipping my hood shut again.
"You are weird, first you tell me to do what makes me happy and then you tell me to not. Hypocrite! How am I even friends with you...Well, I hope to see you again soon and no word about my plans to anyone."
I tell her before rushing off to catch up with my other friends
"I can't promise that!"
She yells after me but I knew or at least I hoped she wouldn't tell a soul
Soon I had caught up with the other Mokke, on the way occasionally falling on my face due to having a lack of balance in my new body.
We decided to head to the Mokke headquarters. It was a boundary under the school where most Mokke came to chill, it was equipped with many cushions instead of chairs and if you ever wanted to snack you could go to the chocolate-bar.
It was the second shop in Minkas possession where her apprentice worked. She only occasionally showed up to check if everything was going as it should. Contrary to the other this one only sold snacks and drinks no potions or other stuff.
As we entered the huge room the curious gazes of the Mokke were directed at our group. We walked over to a cushion circle and they all sat down.
"Guys I am sure you noticed but I am a bit taller than usual."
I said being the only one who was still standing
"Ohh sorry we'll get you a few more cushions."
Mint said as it stood up to get cushions from other circles
After I had got two cushions and Mint had brought me an extra two it finally looked like a normal size for me to sit on.
We started discussing again and soon we encountered a bit of a problem.
"How are we going to make them our servants? Should we suffocate them or drown them in the toilet?"
A Mokke questioned and soon another and another asked each other
"How are we taking down Hanako?"
"Teru will exorcize us all we are going to die!"
"Idiot you are already dead! You are going to disappear. "
"That isn't any better!!!"
"Who will we make our servant first?"
"Shush everybody I have a bit of a plan. When I say we are going to take over the school I mean that we are going to make specific people work for us FORCEFULLY.
Those people are the threats on our list. One by one we are going to take them down and make them unable to fight us. Normal students and teachers can't do anything anyway, we don't care about them.
After we are in command we'll make everybody obey us and then we'll command them to make candy! A few other small details and we have taken over the school and made it our castle!"
I say as I shift my position to sit criss-cross
"Hmm I understand what you are trying to say but if we take them down one by one that is not going to work. If we somehow force Kou to not do anything against us and make him work for us, what will stop his bigger brother from getting rid of us immediately?"
My buddy questions
"Who says that Teru is going to find out~ If we have Kou in our grasp then we can just threaten him to not tell anyone."
I explain feeling confident in my plan as Mint nods
"We should tell everyone of our new worl- I mean school domination plan!"
One of the Mokke suggests
"No! I think it's better if we do this in our small group of four Mokke and one Mokke-Human. If too many know about this, rumours will spread sabotaging our plan. So Cotton, Mint and two others whose names I don't know yet swear that you will never ever tell anybody about this plan.
Those who go against us shall know PAIN!"
"WE SWEAR TO NEVER TELL AND STAY LOYAL TO OUR LEADER (Y/N)!"
They cheer together making the other Mokke look at us
"Not this loud!...keeping this secret might be hard."
I say before mumbling the last part
"By the way my name is Bubble and its name is Ink."
The pink Mokke says while pointing at the dark purple-coloured Mokke

"It's great to finally know your names! Now, gentlemen let's discuss our first target."
I announce formally and we start discussing.
"I agree, Akanes clock is the first thing we need to take after that we can focus on Yashiro and Kou."
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
I say and Ink objects
"If something goes missing we'll be the first they'll suspect. We are always the ones taking things."
"Yea, so what? What will he do ask every Mokke if they stole his clock. Threatening you only helps if you guys know where the clock is~"
I say with a relaxed attitude
"What are you implying?"
They ask in sync
"I am now in a human form so I am not that sneaky or snatchy anymore but you guys sure are. Mint will snatch his clock and give it to me, meanwhile, I'll distract him. After that, I'll hide the clock somewhere, where you guys don't know and voila his threats will be useless."
I explain when suddenly we notice a whispering in the background about us planning to take over the school.
"Rumors sure do spread fast~"
I say full of excitement while knowing fully well that I just fucked up
"We are discussing this in the open and you look like an elephant in a cup shop. Of course, they are going to notice. What happened to 'nobody should ever find out about this'."
Mint scolded
"I-...alright I admit it I didn't think about the fact that we are discussing this in the open but neither did you guys so I am not taking all the blame!"
I say looking away with a pearl of sweat on my cheek
"I have a feeling that you might not be cut out to be a leader."
Mint says and I put my finger on its face
"Shush, little one."
I say as Mint goes a bit pinker while the others snicker a bit
-----
Night started to set in as we continued working on our plan. We had found out that Cotton the overly fluffy Mokke specialized at smuggling, stealing and faking things. It had its own little shop where it sold lots of ripoff and faked items.
I speculated that it might be good at smuggling because it could hide anything in that fluffy fur. It laughed it off and never gave me an answer.
As the question raised how we are going to make me infiltrate the school? Ink explained that we should act like I was a student, nobody would notice amongst the hundreds of others that I was just a fake.
After that, we got to work on getting me ready to blend in with the other students and Cotton was the perfect Mokke to help me with that.
At Cottons shop it gave me a fake student ID which still needed a picture of my face.
"Alright decide now, what do you want to be girl or boy depending on that we'll get you your school uniform and your picture on your ID."
Cotton said as I looked around its store.
The Mokke had a hand full of fake awards, IDs and even Pineapple phones I wonder who they ripped off there.
"Hmmm...I'm a MOKKE I don't do gender! What am I right now?"
I said zipping open my hoodie and they all piled up in front of me to see my face
"Oh shoot bad news I only have a girl's school uniform, not a boy's. It would take me a bit to make another one."
Cotton says and I look at him dumbfounded
"W-what?"
I question as the Mokke around me start chuckling and approach me slowly with dark expressions
"Guuuuyyys?! What are you planning?"
I ask nervously and suddenly they jump at me with feathers in their hands.
"Make her sneeze! So he turns into a girl!"
Mint commands with a mischievous grin
I stumble back and roll to the side at last second.
"EHHH? Oh no...I ain't going to let them touch MEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
I thought as stood up and dashed towards the exit of the room. I stepped outside of the room and suddenly a heavy weight was noticeable on my back
"This is it, the fall and I didn't even have the chance to rise yet."
I think dramatically with tears in my eyes as doom came nearer with every second that passed and then it hit me!
I face-planted into the floor painfully giving it a big smooch. I lifted my face in agony as suddenly Mint sprinkled pepper in front of me making my nose itch.
"Ahhhchuu!"
I sneeze putting my hands in front of my face and suddenly PUFF
"Mission accomplished!"
The Mokke cheer and high five crawling of my back
I sniffle taking my hands away from my face and suddenly I see red on them. I blink trying to adjust my blurred vision making tears flow down my face. Soon another and another crimson splatter joined the mess on my hand slowly flowing onto the ground.
It hurt, it hurt so bad.
"Red liquid is leaking out of me?!?"
I continue sniffling with now buckets of tears rolling from my face. The Mokkes cheers died down as they turned to look at me.
Seeing my state their expressions turned horrified
"Her n-nose is bleeding what should we do?"
Ink asks with a scared look
"Shoot you have a nosebleed! Quick get some tissues."
Mint commands and soon Bubble approached with a few in hand.
I take them hurriedly and press them with both my hands against my face in pain.
"Calm down (y/n). It's just a nosebleed, no need to cry!"
Mint gently says stroking my back
"N-no it really hurts a-and there is red everyw-where."
I sob
"It's because you have a human body now. It's normal for them to bleed and apparently they have smaller pain tolerance than us. You'll get used to it."
Mint explains soothingly as the other Mokke walk towards me cautiously before giving me a hug
"Sorry, we hurt you."
They say and then Mint says
"...I didn't think of that I am really sorry."
"...it's alright. Don't worry."
I say trying to calm down and stand up
"Anyway! I need to get ready for my picture. Gimme the school uniform."
I say to Cotton and it hands me the clothes. I rush over to the bathroom and change. I look at myself in the mirror and my heart skipped a beat as my face overheated
"Woah~ What's going on with my face it's all red and shit just like Mint was before when I was teasing him.
My face it looks kind of nice...in a human way? Aren't humans weird as heck...I am not supposed to think they look alright!! UHHhh this...is QueStioNable and I DON'T LIKE IT!"
I think shaking my head and leaving the bathroom
"I'll get your close washed."
Mint says taking my bloody hoodie
Soon they had taken my picture and gave me my ID. It was all done now, tomorrow the plan would start and I would enter the building for the first time as a student.
I walked back to my old hide out which I called my home but as I arrived in front of it I realized something crucial.
"What am I going to do? My house is tiny..."
I whined wondering what I could do next
"Mints hideout is probably tiny too...Oh, wait there is Cottons shop but it seems not very comfy. My other Mokke friend's homes will be tiny too. Leaving only..........MInKa.
There is no way around it, I'll need to ask her for help."
I walk through the creepy night alleyways with sketchy supernaturals left and right, I try to keep my head down.
Finally, I reached the candy-bar and raised my hand to knock on the door but before I could even make contact with it. The door swung open with a heap of wind and an ominously loud creek.
At the selling area, Minka was drying a glass directly staring at me with a wide grin
"Let me guess. Your place is too small for you to stay at~"
She says teasingly
"Did she know I was coming?...What a show-off!"
I thought before grumbling an answer while realizing I was homeless now.
"Yes"
"We'll kind me must help you then. Come in!"
She says smiling proudly while putting the glass down
I walked into the shop and she led me up the stairs that usually no customer was allowed to enter.
They led to the attic. It was very dark, dusty and overall small with creatures hushing over the dirty wooden floor.
At the back of the room against the wall was a bed made out of dark wood with white sheets and a pastel purple blanket.
Besides my bed was a beautifully shaped window it looked like a house but with curves. Outside of the window was a lantern lit with small willo wisps floating around it.
The yellow tint wrapped the room into a cosy blanket. Overall dusty, crusty but comfy.
I happily jumped into bed, Minka left the room and soon a new dawn would rise
