Your POV:

Kazuma: I'm Iris. I'm sitting right here.

Megumin: ... ... ...

"... ... ..."

Iris: WHAAAAAAAT ?! For real ?! I'm Iris now ?! Oh man ! i'm in a frilly dress and everything ! Wow ! It's like waking up to find out someone put girl clothes on me ! it's kind of... Fresh and exciting !

Kazuma: Stop !! Don't do such crude things with my body !!

Iris: You girls are something else ! You walk around in public completely defenseless like this ?!

"Get away from each other this instant !! This looks absolutely wrong on so many levels !"

Claire: Lady Iris ! I hear a lot of yelling ! Is everything all right ?!

Kazuma: 'C- Claire !'

Iris: C- Claire ? It's nothing ! I j- just got a little riled up talking to them !

Claire: Is... Is that so ? Well and good, then... But see that you don't spend too much time talking with the likes of them.

Iris: I- It's all right ! Don't worry about us !

"That was close... You think we should tell her ?"

Kazuma: A- Absolutely not !

Iris: But what do we do now ? Personally, I don't necessarily mind spending the rest of my life as a beautiful girl, but it is hard to let go of the body I was born and raised in...

Megumin: He really said it without any hesitation...

Iris: Man, what a pain... I tried repeating the sacred words, but this thing just glows a little. We don't change back !

"You think there's a different incantation to undo the switch ?"

Megumin: Still, that's quite a trick. Making people switch bodies... I've never heard of such a powerful item.

"... Switch bodies... Divine item..."

Chris: The items I'm looking for... One of them summons a random monster and allows you to control it without paying a price. The other allows you to switch bodies with another person...

"... ... ... O-ohhhhhhhh..."

Kazuma: ... What am I going to do... ? What if I never get back to my body ? Will I be forced to live out my life as an adventurer ? Chased out of the castle, left to go on a dangerous journey... Then again, adventurers live lives of freedom, unconstrained by any rules... Facing monsters with their trusty companions, discovering lands unknown... Big brother, what shall I do ? I'm starting to think this might not be so bad after all !

"Too fast. You're reaching the fifth stage of grief way too fast. I know grass always looks greener elsewhere, but please don't say something so stupid..."

Iris: 'I guess we really can't go on like this... If this thing technically casts a curse, Aqua might be able to do something about it... Hm ? Wait, speaking of Aqua...'

Eris: Aqua-senpai set several divine items loose in this world... please, would you help me retrieve them ?

Iris: 'Could this be... ?!' All right, guys, don't worry. I know what we're dealing with now. This thing's a divine item. If anyone but the original owner uses it, it'll only work for a limited time. I don't know for how long, but we aren't stuck this way forever.
