"Y-you damned Commoners-...ow!"
"Ugh, shut up, we’ve heard all that crap more tis that we can count, I’m pretty sick of it at this point," Frowned Lexia, before slapping him again for good asure.
"Damn, I wish that was ," Sighed Colt wistfully.
"Grr..."
It was the 5th of May, 1919, and Colt and Lexia were currently in Amber Village, where a Noble who had been discovered to have been supporting Exalt had been identified.
While the vast majority of Exalt’s supporters had already been imprisoned, so of whom had been executed with a lot of the rest scheduled for execution as well, a few had slipped through the cracks, and the Knights had been trying to identify them by interrogating their allies.
Colt and Lexia had been tasked with apprehending this Noble, which they managed without any trouble. They had broken all four of his limbs, leaving him immobile and slumped against the wall.
"Hey, let’s rip out a few fingernails before we turn him in," Suggested Colt with a gleam in his eyes, the Noble’s face turning pale.
"No, I don’t want to get lectured again. But before we go, we should search the place. There might be evidence on any other collaborators and supporters of Exalt," Pointed out Lexia objectively.
"Yeah, good point."
"I know."
"Heh, if we find so useful info, then we could probably get away with torturing this guy, at least a little bit."
"Mhm, exactly. Let’s just make sure this piece of shit won’t get away first," She replied, as she extended out bone crescents with sharp edges from her hands and jamd them into the wall around the Noble’s neck and wrists, pinning him against the wall.
"Y-you already broke my arms and legs, h-how the fuck would I get away?"
"Shut up and stay put, shithead."
Colt and Lexia then began exploring the mansion, searching each room thoroughly, knocking on the walls and tiles to try and find any hidden spaces.
After going through most of the rooms in the building, they entered the living room and started searching the space, tearing up the couch cushions to see if anything was hidden inside.
"Hm? Hey, there’s sothing over here!" Suddenly called out Colt, as he took a painting off the wall, revealing a safe installed in the wall behind it.
"Huh, surprisingly nice work, for you. Think you can bust it open?" Inquired Lexia, as she walked over and inspected it.
"I can try slicing around the lock with a pressurized beam of blood. Don’t know if it’ll work, but only one way to find out," He replied, before stepping back and raising his index finger towards the safe door.
He then fired out a piercing beam of blood, before steadily increasing the pressure and slowly moving his arm around, cutting around the lock.
The door then creaked open as he finished up, before Lexia pulled it open curiously and peered inside.
"Let’s see, what have we got here-...oh. It’s just a bunch of sex toys."
"Damn, that’s quite a collection...I’m not even sure what so of these would be used for," Replied Colt in bemusent, as Lexia stepped back in disgust.

"Close it and let’s get out of here, it doesn’t look like there’s anything useful hidden in this place," She sighed in exasperation.
"Wait, hold on...there’s sothing else in there, I think it’s a Magic Item. No, actually, it might be an Ancient Magic Artifact," Remarked Colt, as he reached in and took sothing out, a handle-like object with a gleaming gemstone embedded in the middle.
"Ew, I can’t believe you put your hand in there, who knows what kind of nasty juices are coated all over those toys?" Frowned Lexia apprehensively.
"No, there’s a slight chemical sll, so I’m pretty sure they’re all sterilized. He probably cleans them after using them," Surmised Colt, as he inspected the object he took out of the safe.
"Are you sure that’s not so fancy dildo or sothing? How do you know it’s an Ancient Magic Artifact, or even a Magic Item at all?" Responded Lexia with a grimace.
"Well, I an, this is definitely a Magic Crystal in the middle of it. Regular gemstones don’t glow like this, after all. But Magic Crystals are kinda obsolete these days since modern Spells, except for a few like Sealing Spells, don’t use them. And the item itself looks pretty old and worn out around the edges," He pointed out, before adding curiously, "Huh, I wonder what it does and how it works?"
"Co on, put it back, it might be sothing dangerous. We shouldn’t ss with Ancient Magic, it could be-...," Began Lexia as she reached out and grabbed the item to put it back in the safe.
Before Colt could let go, the Magic Crystal suddenly began glowing intensely, Lexia’s eyes widening in alarm as the glow grew blindingly bright, the two of them forced to shut their eyes, before the light suddenly faded.
"Hm? What happened? It doesn’t feel like that did anything...maybe it’s just a light bomb or sothing, like a weapon to blind an opponent?" Wondered Lexia, before adding as she began to open her eyes, "Hold on, my right eye feels strange, and my body feels a bit off too."
"Wow, that was bright, my eye stings-...wait, why does it feel like my right eye is stinging too? Actually, why does it feel like I have a right eye again? And my body feels kinda different...," Colt thought to himself, before his eyes widened in bewildernt as he opened them.
"What...the...fuck...?"
"Huh? Wait...no way, is this...? Woah, holy shit."
"N-no, this...this can’t be happening. I-I...I’m in your body!?" Exclaid Lexia in horror.
"Wow, I forgot what it was like to have two working eyes," Remarked Colt, looking around before jumping a couple of tis and letting out a chuckle as the unfamiliar, voluptuous chest he’d found himself with jiggled.
"Stop that! How the fuck are you so calm right now!?" Snapped Lexia, reaching out to grab his collar, but missing.
"It’s gonna take a while to adjust to the lack of depth perception, so-..."
"Stop talking as if we’re stuck like this, because I refuse to accept that! O-Okay, just calm down and think...when I grabbed that Artifact, the crystal began glowing, and then we swapped bodies. Which ans-...," Began Lexia as she paced around in Colt’s body.
"Well, technically, we might have switched minds instead of bodies."
"Sa difference, dumbass! Alright, us both holding the Magic Item at the sa ti is probably what triggered it, so maybe if we both take hold of it again, it’ll switch us back!" Surmised Lexia hopefully, before holding the item out towards Colt and adding, "Co on, grab it! The sooner we switch back, the better!"
"Yeah, yeah, okay. It was just nice to have two eyes again, I’m sorry."
"I know you’re just trying to guilt-trip , and it won’t work!"
"Aw, guess you know too well. Alright, fine...," Colt sighed wistfully, before taking hold of the Magic Item...but nothing happened.
"Wh-What...what the hell!? Why the fuck aren’t we switching back!?" Exclaid Lexia, starting to panic.
"Hey, calm down...let’s go interrogate that guy, he must know how it works," Pointed out Colt.
"Y-Yeah, right, that’s a good point...o-okay, let’s go," She nodded as she cald down a bit, before storming over towards the room they’d left him in, with Colt trailing behind her.
"I’d really like to ss with her a bit more, but looking at how panicked she is, I’ll refrain. What a waste of an opportunity to get so great reactions out of her. Though, it is kinda weird seeing her mannerisms and speech patterns in my body."
"Ow, what the-...? Why are there pebbles in your shoes?" Frowned Lexia, wincing before taking off Colt’s shoes and turning them over, several small pebbles falling out.
"I an, I like the pain, it stings the soles of my feet so delightfully, so-..."
"I shouldn’t have asked such an obvious question. Let’s just beat so answers out of that bastard and switch back."
As she reached the door to the room they’d left the Noble in, Lexia kicked it open and stomped in, before stepping in front of the man and slamming her foot onto the middle of his chest as she glared at him seethingly.
"Alright, asshole, you’re gonna tell us how this Magic Item works. Particularly how to reverse its effects," She growled threateningly.
"H-Hah, I see...you used it, didn’t you? Serves you right, you stupid Commoners-...arghhhhh!" He laughed, before howling in pain as Lexia grabbed his hand and broke one of his fingers with a violent twist, a crunch echoing out as his finger got bent off to the left, swelling up rapidly.
"Don’t fuck with ...I’ll keep breaking them one by one until you answer. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll move on to ripping off your fingernails. And then I’ll chop off your fingers, one segnt at a ti...and then-..."
"A-Alright, alright, I-I’ll answer!" He cried in terror, before continuing, "Th-The item activates when two people take hold of it, i-it then switches their bodies temporarily, f-for two hours! Y-You’ll switch back automatically after that, b-but it can’t be undone before that, a-at least not as far as I know! I-I swear, that’s the truth!"
"Tch, so we’re stuck like this for two hours? Well, I suppose it’s better than being stuck indefinitely. We’ll find out whether you’re lying or not in two hours...and if it turns out that you were lying, I promise you this, you’ll experience hell, I’ll make you suffer like nothing you’ve ever been through before," She warned him icily.
"Two hours, huh? Cool...this is pretty unique experience, it’d be a waste if it wore off too quickly. Though, one problem is that, evidently, we can’t control our Auras...I’m trying to suppress it, but your Mana feels so different to mine, I guess it’s because we have different Magic Classes. Well, at least we aren’t exerting any real Aura pressure. With our Magic Power Levels, ordinary people would get hurt just by getting near us," Mused Colt thoughtfully.
"Hm...okay, let’s drop this fucker off at the outpost and then teleport to Garnet City. Tacitus’s Nullification Magic might be able to undo this, I’d really prefer not to stay in your stupid body for two whole hours. Hey, are you listening? Pay attention-...," She began as she glanced at Colt, before trailing off incredulously as the sight of his fondling her boobs t her gaze, a look of fascination on his face.
"Wow, so this is what these feel like...," He muttered with a gleam in his eyes.
"S-Stop that!" Exclaid Lexia with a mortified look on her face as she slapped him, before snapping, "And get that pervy look off MY face, you jerk! Grr, I can’t believe you made slap my own face!"
"Woah...hey, slap again, that stings way more than usual! Maybe it’s because my hands are bigger than yours and your skin is softer and more supple than mine. Co on, give one more," He grinned, his face flushed as Lexia’s eyebrow twitched irritably...
