By accident, six-year-old Hiromitsu Morofushi wandered into the Cursed Springs and fell into the Spring of Drowned Girl.
A splash of cold water turned him into a girl, and hot water changed him back into a boy. The child was terribly troubled by this.
"What's there to be troubled about?" Mrs. Morofushi's eyes lit up. "My precious Hiromitsu is adorable whether he's a boy or a girl!"
How can you call a boy adorable! Wait, he isn't exactly a boy anymore now...
The little boy was in a quandary.
His parents were thrilled. They prepared half a closet full of girls' clothes and happily announced that from today on, the Morofushis had a son and a daughter!
Takaaki Morofushi: ...Mom, put Hiromitsu down first. Stop holding him up!
You're just like that old baboon lifting up Simba in The Lion King!
Boys' classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, girls' classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Before long, rumors of twin ghosts were circulating around school.
One day, he could ski in a boy's body, and the next, take part in a rescue as a girl.
In the morning, he'd compete in a kendo tournament as a boy. In the afternoon, dressed as a maid, he'd be the star waitress at a maid cafe.
Once he entered the police academy, he'd dress as a woman to infiltrate a gang and gather information by day, then change into men's clothes to meet with the Public Security Bureau at night.
#A Public Security elite with two identities thanks to the Spring of Drowned Girl makes a spectacular debut!#
But this body was both a weapon and a cage.
Between rises and falls in temperature, he wove lies. In the shift between light and darkness, he turned death into life.
Who exactly was Hiromitsu Morofushi? A man or a woman?
"True strength is being able to embrace both moonlight and sunlight."
"Once you can love the saltiness of the ocean, it no longer matters whether you are a raindrop or a wave."
