Chapter 55 – Coming of Age Ceremony
“I absolutely hate it.”
“Ah, why~”
“Jebaal~”
“Bye!”
At Jun’s firm refusal, the girls surrounding him started crying and screaming all at once.
“It’s really noisy. Jun, don’t be like that, just dress up as a woman.”
“It’s not like you’re going to lose any pepper if you do that.”
“That’s right! Dress up as a woman! Dress up as a woman!”
Then, the boys who were secretly concentrating on the conversation began to persuade Jun on behalf of the girls.
The church cafeteria suddenly became noisy with the sounds of girls screaming and boys chanting.
‘Did they eat something wrong?’
Boys and girls who are normally so anxious to kill each other join forces like this.
It felt contrived.
It seemed like someone came forward, unified the two forces, and then gave instructions to act like this.
Who did that? Actually, there was nothing to worry about.
Jun turned his head towards the entrance of the restaurant with sharp eyes.
Through the gap in the entrance door, I could see eyes that were beautifully curved as if they were happy.
“Sister Kate, stop watching and come in and stop the kids.”
The pupils twitched and trembled.
As I continued to glare, the eyes slowly disappeared, and soon the restaurant door opened with force and a small, petite nun came in.
“Now. Kids, let’s be quiet. No matter how much of a restaurant it is, if you make a fuss like this, you can’t use it.”
The children silently silenced the nun and Kate’s urging.
It was a sight as unbelievable as when the two forces cooperated. For young children, laughing and talking is like a mission.
Is this also part of the plan?
Considering Kate’s reaction from the crack in the door, it didn’t seem particularly likely.
This may have happened simply because the children trusted and followed Kate.
Jun once again thought that this small and dwarf nun was amazing.
It’s only been 4 years since she came to Primuni’s church.
She gained a level of faith that even nuns who had cared for children for over 10 years found difficult to obtain in less than half that time.
It was surprising.
However, I was convinced that she could be like that.
She was bright and cheerful, so it was comfortable and fun to be with her.
She was such an attractive person that even Jun, who only occasionally visited church, felt it.
“Huh~. My gaze is hot. Jun, have you fallen in love with this sister?”
Well, sometimes that cheerfulness goes too far, and it gets annoying.
“I’m sorry about this. “This sister has been given purity by God, so she cannot repay Jun’s love.”
After saying that, Kate approaches Jun with a very triumphant expression.
I walked like a model, probably trying to emphasize my adultness, but my body was so weak that I couldn’t feel it at all.
Jun spoke to her with the same sadness he felt.
“I’m sorry, but Sister Kate is not my style.”
“Foot! Pouf. That’s right, don’t worry, Kate is not our Junie’s taste at all. Foot!”
Fortuna, who was fiercely guarding the girls from approaching Jun, smiled and supported Jun’s claim.
Boing. Using words and breasts.
Kate’s triumphant smile cracked.
She wasn’t always as bright as she was as a person. In particular, things became very negative about her breasts.
“Ho, ho, ho. My Junie is still young and doesn’t know what’s going on. Listen carefully to what this sister says. A woman’s breasts should be big on the inside, not the outside.”
“Uhm. I think what you have on the inside is more important than needlessly having a big inside. In that respect, Port is perfect. “Everything inside is filled with single-mindedness toward me.”
“Hehe ♡ Por is my lord, I can’t live without him.”
“… Pfft!”
Kate steps back as if she has nothing to say to counterattack.
Then the boys who were looking at this with interest said, ‘Jun’s direct attack. Kate took 50 damage.’, ‘Too much damage. She started chattering, ‘Kate has fallen into a groggy state.’, ‘Kate’s special skill, Cliff’s Sorrow is activated!’, ‘Immediately recover from her abnormal status and counterattack.’
What is this needlessly plausible explanation of the situation?
Do you usually play like that?… It must be fun!
“Ugh. “When I get older, I will become ugly and saggy.”
As soon as Kate heard the words counterattack, she reflexively opened her mouth.
No, don’t join in. He looks quite familiar than that. Are you playing along like this too? You couldn’t have spread it, right? Huh?
“Yes, I’m not human, so I don’t age or lose weight. It stays firm forever.”
“Boo, I’m jealous!”
Fortuna activated the racial trait, ‘I am an angel!’ No damage! Counterattack upon counterattack! Kate received 50 damage.
‘Oh! Stop without even realizing it.’
Unknowingly, Jun followed the children and shook his head to erase the explanation of the situation from his mind.
Meanwhile, Kate, who barely survived by activating ‘Old Maid’s Indomitability’, made her final counterattack.
“A breast monster whose chest is bigger than her head!”
“A cliffhanger with breasts smaller than those of children!”
Fortuna fights back without losing.
So the two began to glare at each other fiercely.
Is it simply a matter of mood that sees the shapes of squirrels and cows behind them?
“Both of you stop it.”
It was a very exciting match, but it was not good for her children’s emotions, so she stopped them at that point.
They both hummed at the same time and turned their heads.
“So, Sister Kate. Why did you come here? “Is the nun teaching you how to sing?”
“Jun, that’s not it.”
“Sister Kate is so tone-deaf.”
“By the way, the vigilante man who overheard the nun’s song said that the goblin’s roar would be better to listen to.”
“Kya! You! Is this really happening?”
“Save people!”
“Kyaha! Apod!”
Haha! Wow!”
Kate responded to the children’s bombardment of facts by chasing them away, stomping like an angry monster that did not match her small and petite body.
After a while, after finishing her punishment and catching her breath, she smiled and said to Jun.
“Jun, let’s go find clothes to wear for the coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Just in case, I’m asking. It’s not women’s clothing, right?”
“. Hehe.”
“Goodbye. “I will not attend the coming-of-age ceremony.”
Jun stood up coolly, as if he had no regrets at all.
He wanted to participate to make lifelong memories, but he didn’t want to make memories that would become dark history.
“For a moment! “It’s a joke, a joke!”
“Really? “I swear to God?”
“Well, that is.”
“Goodbye.”
“Ah Okay. I knew it! I swear to God!”
Jun smiled with satisfaction after receiving the oath as he wanted.
With this, you will be able to avoid any unexpected pranks.
“Why do you keep trying to make me dress like a woman? It’s not like there aren’t any girls celebrating their coming-of-age ceremony this time.”
On the way to the studio, when the children’s gaze disappeared, June asked Kate.
Then Kate smiled her wry smile and answered his question.
“There is a part in the middle of the song sung at the coming-of-age ceremony where a man and a woman sing a duet as representatives.”
“That’s right.”
“Among the girls, not a single one wants to represent them.”
“Yes? “Why?”
Jun was puzzled.
This is because fierce competition took place every year in the selection of the female representative, even if it was not for the male representative.
That’s right, unlike boys who start looking for jobs after their coming-of-age ceremony, girls start courting.
At this time, the business card that said they sang a duet as a representative at the coming-of-age ceremony was of great help to the girls.
This is because male and female representatives are usually selected based on their appearance.
In other words, the fact that she was selected as the female representative means that the village officially recognized that she was the prettiest among the girls who celebrated the coming of age ceremony together.
There was no better way to raise one’s standards in the countryside.
There must be a good reason for kicking up such an opportunity.
“Oh, maybe the male representative…”
“Isn’t it okay to ask?”
Judging from Kate’s answer, it was clear that Leon was the male representative.
To be honest, Jun may be ahead of him in appearance, but since the village elders were the ones to select the representative, his daily behavior and interpersonal relationships could not be ignored.
Anyway, when Jun found out that the male representative was Leon, he was able to understand why none of the girls represented him.
‘The difference in level should be reasonable.’
Over the past four years, Leon has also become a very handsome man, although he may not be as good as Jun.
So much so that even Fortuna, who is very picky about beauty, admits it.
It was a natural result since she was born with the blood of both a royal family and a saint.
Going back to the main topic, what would happen if Leon, who may have one of the best looks in the empire, and an ordinary country girl stand side by side?
No matter how much makeup you put on and pretty clothes you wear, you will still end up as an ugly squid.
And that will have a huge negative impact on courtship activities.
“I don’t know who it will be, but the girl who will be standing with Leon will have the worst coming-of-age ceremony.”
Jun clicked his tongue and made the sign of the cross for that poor sentient being.
Kate, who read the sincerity contained in it, was done and quickly asked him.
“So, why don’t you dress up as a woman and represent the women’s representative? “It’s like saving one person.”
“Hmm…”
June stopped and began to think about her thoughts.
Kate’s face, which was full of worry, smiled.
Sigh
As Jun raised her hands and drew a circle with her bright smile, the smile became even brighter.
“Jun!”
Kate was moved by his decision and tried to hug him tightly.
At that very moment,
Poof!
“… Eh?”
His arms, which were about to complete a circle, suddenly crossed in front of his chest, drawing an X.
“Hehe, you were fooled, right? It’s a punishment for inciting the kids.”
After feeding her troubles, June walked past her.
Kate, who barely came to her senses after being dazed, hurriedly stretched out her hand toward his back and asked.
“Woman, dressed as a woman!”
“Why are you asking something so obvious?”
The answer is NO!
