chapter 21
21 – Episode 21 It was a tournament of shock and fear
When the academy’s crossdressing competition is in full swing.
The manager, 3rd director, and deputy director, who overcame the pursuit of the
black magicians in the abyss and came to the second base, took a break.
“Whoa… Damn warlocks.”
The manager put a cigar in his mouth.
It was a gift from the Vice Minister, and since it was a rare and top-notch
magic candle with painkillers, the pain in the wound was relieved as soon as I
lit it. The manager, who was holding the magic candle that was burning black,
looked down at his arm.
3The director asked while bandaging the wound.
“Are you all right where you were injured?”
“I’m fine except for one arm being ripped off.”
The manager’s left arm was missing from the elbow. Although the bleeding was
stopped, the arm, which was still in poor condition, seemed to have to be
amputated up to the shoulder if it continued like this because of the black
magician’s curse.
“Don’t you know how to break the curse?”
“I know, but if it’s that level of curse, I think I’ll need 1 directors or
priests.”
“Shouldn’t I have brought Director 1 instead of you?”
He laughed mischievously and scolded Director 3.
Director 3 smiled and cut his throat with his hand.
“Thanks to me, your head will be broken. Don’t forget that you only blew off one
arm.”
“I haven’t forgotten.”
The two chatted happily. The situation itself is bleak, but the atmosphere
itself is bright.
“No matter how you look at it, the Vice Minister should have been here.”
“I am of the same opinion. If the vice minister had come, I could have wiped
them all out and left at once.”
“How are the deputy directors?”
“Everyone is exhausted.”
The manager stood up and looked around at the deputy directors. All of them were
lying on the floor, moaning.
“They look lethargic.”
“If you see it that way, how about having the manager shoot meat at the next
dinner party?”
“Meat? Ask the deputy minister. Or the minister. Both of them have a lot of
money.”
“I don’t know about the Minister, but I know that the Vice Minister is still
maintaining his salary cut last time.”
“Isn’t that over yet? Then I’m a bit sorry to have dinner with the Vice
Minister’s money.”
He giggled, not looking apologetic at all.
Director 3 shook his head, thinking of the Vice Minister. However, he couldn’t
stop the laughter from spreading across his lips.
At that time, I felt that something was caught in the trap magic that Director 3
had set up in advance. 3 The director said to the manager.
“The warlocks are close by. I think we’ll have to move soon.”
“Looks like somewhere nearby?”
“The first trap you set has exploded.”
The manager, who actively accepted the director’s opinion, exclaimed.
“Deputy Directors! Everyone! Get up!”
If the first trap is triggered, you have 5 to 10 minutes to spare.
Despite being in a daze, the deputy directors who woke up in order immediately
followed the manager.
“Go to the third base in one go.”
Until you leave the bottomless pit.
It’s not long.
After the 3rd base is right outside the abyss.
The manager, director, and deputy director ran with tired bodies to avoid the
black magicians’ pursuit.
EE
—This time, the contestant is Miss Plan, a freshman in the academy! What will
happen to Ms. Flan…
“Hey, Fla, why is he so handsome?”
“I don’t know. I think he’s better looking than me.”
“That’s for granted. Wasn’t he more handsome than Kuran, the most handsome in
our class?”
“Ah, that’s not it.”
A friend wearing glasses exaggeratedly reacted to his friend’s words.
“Kyaaa! Sister! You’re so cool!”
“Hey, tell me honestly. Didn’t Tian-unni’s male costume suit you very well?”
“Tian-unni, you were just like my twin brother.”
“Tirinan senior in the third year?”
“Uh. He was exactly the same as that senior. No, was he more handsome?”
Similar to the penalty, unlike the male students who participated in the
crossdressing contest and were immersed in despair, sadness, and sorrow, the
female students who participated in the crossdressing contest were energetic
based on the purpose of purely enjoying themselves rather than being penalized.
“It’s fun.’
Chris watched the contest with great interest. I thought I knew why my sister
came to enjoy this. It was quite fun to see the students dressed up in their own
unique ways, chatting with the emcee and showing off various talents.
It feels like watching an extreme.
Someone came to the seat next to Chris, who was so engrossed in watching the
tournament.
“Hello. Your Highness the Prince.”
Chris looked at the owner of the voice at a voice he had never heard before, but
the face hidden by the robe was similar to someone he knew, but different.
Then, as he sat in the seat he had prepared for his sister and the Vice Minister
of Magic, Chris realized that his sister hadn’t come yet.
Chris didn’t care that the position he had held had been taken away.
It’s about one seat anyway. Chris has to go back without seeing all the
tournaments. he had to stand up Chris asked Yohane, the younger brother of the
Vice Minister of Magic, who was sitting next to him.
“Yohane. When the hell is your brother coming?”
Yohane looked at Chris strangely.
“Why? n
Chris was puzzled. Yohane was looking at him with eyes filled with various
emotions: surprise, amazement, embarrassment, and absurdity.
Yohane stuttered and opened her mouth slowly.
“That… the person sitting right next to him… is my older brother.”
Chris turned his head to the left. Sitting next to him was an ambiguous person
who was not sure if he was a woman or a man.
The face hidden by the robe was half invisible, so I dismissed it as just a
resemblance.
Listening to Yohane’s words, I can clearly see it. The undersecretary for
magic’s face was outlined.
“Deputy Minister of Magic…? Why do you look…?”
Chris stuttered. The appearance of Cadian in front of him was shocking.
If Yohane hadn’t been called an older brother, Chris would have mistaken Cadian
for a neutral person or woman.
Cadian sighed deeply, as if lamenting in the depths of the deep sea, really far
away.
‘This is all for Her Highness Princess Chris’ older sister. It’s because of Her
Highness, Princess Stella.’ Since he couldn’t shout it right in his face, Cadian
spared his words.
“…1it just happened to be the case.”
He explained it so succinctly. It was difficult for Chris to understand, but he
asked about his sister’s whereabouts, thinking that it was probably related to
his sister.
“So where is your sister?”
“You’ll be out soon.”
“Hmm? Coming soon…”
Say?
Chris trailed off.
I couldn’t understand for a moment what the Vice Minister of Magic was talking
about.
But whether he understood it or not, the moderator started making comments.
—Come on! The person I want to introduce this time is not an academy student,
but an outsider!
—-This person’s name is Stella, but! I wonder what kind of male disguise he
was!
—-Stella-sama, come with me!
“no way…”
Chris hurriedly turned his head and fixed his eyes on the podium.
Thoob. Thoob. Thoob. Tboob.
Loud footsteps rang in his ears as he concentrated extremely hard. Chris’ eyes
wide open.
A man… no, a woman dressed as a man entered the podium.
A woman dressed as a man with her hair tied back and wearing a black suit that
matches her black hair enters with purple eyes shining and looks down at the
audience from the podium.
…Chris had a momentary brain freeze.
Stella looked at the crowd once and then turned back and disappeared.
When the moderator can’t say anything about that confident attitude.
Chris slumped in his seat.
As you can see at a glance, his expression turned pure white, as if he had seen
a ghost.
That much… Stella’s appearance was shocking to Chris.
It was none other than that ‘lazy, bored and arrogant Stella’.
In his memory, his sister did that.
It was a shock beyond measure.
“hmm. ..’
Cadian looked at Chris.
he thought
‘Yohane…of course he wouldn’t react like that.’
His Highness Prince Chris’ reaction was subtle.
His Highness was silent, then jumped up from his seat.
“…I must go.”
“Are you going?”
“Yes, yes… I’ll go.”
Shocked by Stella’s eccentricity, he hurriedly left.
It was for the protection of his mind, but also for the protection of his
sister’s mind.
I was shocked to see him, my brother, right away… How shocked would my sister
be if she knew I was here?
Chris, who was quite meticulous, left the auditorium where the competition was
taking place without looking back.
Cadian looked at Chris’ back and called Yohane, who was touching the video
recorder.
“Brother.”
“why.”
“Did you learn anything from watching that?”
“What?”
Seeing his brother tilt his head, Cadian realized.
ah. Come to think of it.
‘Stella still hasn’t told me that she is Her Highness.
Cadian understood Yohane’s nonchalant reaction.
He didn’t have the mindset to make fun of his sister’s dark history until the
end, but when he saw His Majesty Prince Chris, who showed meticulous
consideration for his sister, he said, ‘This is true friendship.’ I was going to
give an example, but unfortunately Yohane doesn’t know Stella’s identity.
Yohane just watched his older brother reasoning alone and arguing with himself.
“…brother…’
Again and again, Yohane also had something to notice.
He had just noticed that Stella was that Stella through Her Highness Chris’
actions earlier.
But… I was desperately pretending not to know.
It seemed like it would be good for his mental health.
