Chapter 21 – Disguise as a Man! Ms. Line
When I looked back, I regretted my actions.
Why?
If you saw those eyes full of desire, no matter how close you were, you would lose affection.
“Um… Shall we resolve it through our words?”
“There is a competition during the day today? Line?”
“I see, it seems like a fun thing to see.”
“Hmm~ I think it would be good for our Rine to participate?”
This year, they have already decided to send me to the competition. I had forgotten until now, but today is the day of the competition.
But wouldn’t it be a disaster if it was discovered that I was a man at the competition?
His eyes were filled with desire, as if he thought that if I went out, he would win.
And the hand of desire slowly reaches out to me.
You have to run away.
“I. Suddenly remembered my promise. Ha. Ha.”
“I think we thought of something to do too? Isn’t that right, Erina?”
“Lee, if you stay still, you won’t get hurt.”
“Yes.”
Ah, I see. Did you know I would be like this?
I quickly strengthened my entire body with mana and escaped this horrible place, and in an instant, three pursuers caught up behind me.
As expected, when looking only at instantaneous acceleration, I was much faster, but compared to the two people who wielded the holy sword and wind, I think my sustainability was lower.
I’m going to get caught like this.
“Rine! “If you surrender now, I will regard you as a male soldier.”
“Of course, this is the male knight who was captured.”
“Heh… Heh… Let’s go together…”
The two are following along just fine, but it seems like it was too harsh an action for the elf who was keeping a low profile.
I need to do some exercise later. It’s easy for him to somehow chase after me with those slender legs. However, perhaps because he was a brainiac, he soon stopped shaking his legs and placed his staff on the ground like a cane.
“Me too… Together… Coughing…”
“Erina! “We’ll catch it!”
“Leave the hunting to me!”
Why do I have to be treated like prey now? And why are my legs shaking too?
I definitely had muscle pain in the morning, and after getting a massage… When I thought about it, I was reminded of a situation where my body wasn’t working properly due to the massage, and it hit me hard.
Bewildered. It is an idiom that refers to a situation where one is surrounded on all sides by enemies or cannot receive support or help from anyone.
Why are you saying this? I accidentally took a wrong turn and everything was blocked.
“Ha… Ha… I finally caught it.”
“Rine. I won’t hurt you, so just be obedient.”
“Stop!!! Deal… Let’s make a deal! For now, I’ll participate in the cross-dressing contest!”
The final option, when all sides are blocked, is to suffer as little loss as possible through negotiation.
First, I need to reduce my exposure. If my chest is exposed at all, they might notice that I am a man.
“Can you please not expose your breasts?”
“Chests… Um… Okay! Instead, I will expose my thighs.”
“I think that will be fine. And.”
“And.?”
“Just give me the clothes and I will dress up as a man myself.”
“Isn’t it easier if we help?”
“No. “I’m comfortable alone.”
He slowly raised both hands as if in surrender and slowly walked towards their hands. Ah… Goodbye, my femininity. But did I have femininity?
As I slowly approached Emil and Aya, they each grabbed my left and right shoulders and dragged me away.
I didn’t even commit a crime.
“Let’s go to the guild first! Ugh.”
“As a female, proudly become a male!”
“What does it mean to proudly be a male?”
“Uhm… I don’t know!”
Why are they emphasizing masculinity only to me, even though I don’t know? If this continues, I might end up becoming a feminist.
Masochism… Being a knight is kind of cool.
Let’s stop thinking these crazy thoughts. Anyway, it’s masochism. Did I go crazy hearing the news that I have to disguise myself as a man?
“Let’s go to the guild first… We have to report.”
“Let’s believe that Shio and Erina will take care of that.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
He said it with a natural expression.
“I need to apply for the competition first.”
“I see.”
“I have to go quickly and apply. If I keep doing this, I might really miss out.”
“Ha… Yes.”
I quickly followed Emil to the competition registration area.
When I went to the application center, there were a lot of nervous women chatting and checking for rivals.
As soon as I appeared, all eyes suddenly flocked.
What? Am I such a dangerous opponent?
“Line! Long time no see. “Line, do you want to participate too?”
“The party members urged me to leave…”
The person greeting me now is a guild employee who often stopped by.
“Can I apply here?”
“Yes! Normally, you have to undergo a physical examination before applying, but we know that Line is a woman!”
“Ha… Ha… Shall we see each other for a day or two?”
“So, you can just go. “I will send you the application form.”
“Thank you.”
I guess humans should always live good lives. Because good deeds come back like a boomerang.
If I had even done a physical examination, I would have been caught by everyone in the guild, let alone by the party members. Ugh… If I had been caught, I might have just quit the article.
“Hmm? Lee, you came out quickly?”
“Yes. Since I knew someone, it was over quickly.”
“Hmm… Should I go buy clothes now?”
“I just buy pants from the clothing store. Anyway, if I decorate it just a little bit, it will look like the male knight you are talking about.”
Although it is definitely said to be male and female, it is not difficult to disguise as a man.
I wanted to get it over with quickly because I could look like a different person by just disguising myself as a woman, wearing a wig, and a little makeup.
Why does a year called Yeongju hold such a ridiculous competition?
The product is not just expensive, it is a mansion. This is a mansion that our party can only afford after working and saving for several years.
About 3 hours later
Most of the adventurers in the village came to see the cross-dressing contest, hoping to invigorate their boring lives.
The competition format is simple, with three judges each giving scores, and the contestant with the highest score wins.
As for the judges… The contest organizer, the lord, the guild leader, and the receptionist who saw the contest application earlier are the judges.
But is it okay for the receptionist to do the screening?
The host of the competition brightened the mood before proceeding with the competition and then began calling people by their names one by one.
“Please come out as participant number 1!”
The contest host’s voice was heard, and the first participant came out.
Oh… He really looks like a man?
Of course, he seems like a man by previous world standards. A woman with macho-like bulging muscles and an oak-like face came up to the stage.
Is that really a cross-dressing thing? Isn’t he just cosplaying an orc?
“Hello.”
“Eliminated.”
I was eliminated in an instant, receiving cold looks from the lord and guild leader. But why are they both so serious? Could it be that you like cross-dressing women?
Soon, the host seemed to be embarrassed for a moment, but then came back to his senses and continued.
“Keuhumhmmm. Please come out as the next contestant!”
“Yes!”
Oh, when a voice that was cuter than expected was heard, the audience began to murmur and fantasize about what they would look like.
“This is Participant 2 Skell♥”
Ugh… Shit… There was an orc just now, but this time it’s a goblin? As I watched her, I felt sick and almost threw up.
How on earth can a monster like that be born by disguising as a man?
As the audience reacted coldly again, the judges immediately eliminated the contestant.
“Is this really how I’m going to win?”
As women appeared one after another who were said to have disguised themselves as men but looked like some kind of monster, the audience’s reaction naturally changed to disappointment, and even some people laughed openly.
The judges seemed to have given up half the time, resting their chins on their desks and praying for the competition to end quickly.
“Ah, unfortunately, it’s already the last contestant. Please come out as the last contestant.”
Wow? Annoyance was evident from the voice.
“Yes!”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
“Wow!!!!!!!”
When I came out, the crowd started cheering and praising me.
Everyone is happy because I am the person who purifies their already rotten eyes, and they are happy that proper crossdressing has finally come.
Perhaps because the judges were able to conduct proper judging, they began to focus on the competition again and watch the proper judging.
“At las! The right contestant has come out! “What is your name?”
“This is Line Reihart, a lineman in the warrior Emil Party.”
“What is the concept of this competition?”
“I took it as a male knight concept.”
Something was looking at me so intensely that I started to get nervous. Mr. Ha, but do you really have to say the lines prepared by Emil?
“Ah, I see. Have you prepared any lines or anything?”
“Yes. Please tie me with this rope.”
As they slowly tied my body, I fell to the floor with my arms tied.
Isn’t there a famous line from Namgisa that has been handed down since ancient times?
“Kill… Kill!”
“Wow.”
“I will choose death only if I am humiliated by you.”
When I sat down and spoke with a few tears in my eyes, everyone started cheering.
Well, I only saw monsters for over an hour, but since a cute guy appears, I can’t help but react positively.
Now we have to finally drive in the wedge.
“Even if you drag me away and humiliate me, I will never give in.”
There was no need to explain the situation after this line.
The end result was that the cheering audience and three judges gave perfect scores and the winner was declared the winner.
So what are you doing now? All party members are packing up and moving to a new house.
“As expected, it’s Line!! “The mansion really feels like a dream.”
“I can’t live with my face up.”
“But wouldn’t it be okay since I got a mansion?”
Would that kind of comfort work?
When I looked at Emil with a resentful face, he avoided my gaze. It’s bad.
“Then today is the party!!”
“Yes!”
This party will make life difficult in the future. Who knew?
