Volume 3 - CH 9

It is morning.

But the sun has not yet risen, and the light peeking through the curtains is dim.

In other words, it’s morning in the sense that it’s time for me to wake up.

Ever since I started school, mornings have been very early and difficult for me.

To make matters worse, being a traveling merchant is not a job that forces you to go to bed and get up early, so my body is not used to it.

Even more so in my case, where I have to take about two hours to apply the dramatic miracle makeup to change my appearance from that of a man to that of a woman.

I bathe, remove any unwanted hair, apply hair conditioner, and carefully and evenly apply a wig.

If I find a beard, I pull it out with tweezers, even though it rarely grows.

Next comes the makeup.

I apply a thin layer of lotion and foundation.

I will be subjected to a lifestyle lecture if it is too thick, so I must be careful.

After putting on underwear, breast pads, and a freshly ironed sailor’s uniform, I sprinkle on some magic perfume that imitates the smell of a woman’s body to complete the process.

“Hey, wake up!”

I said as I opened the curtains and looked at the slowly whitening mountains in the distance.

“I’m still sleepy.” The female warrior mumbled as she wrapped herself in the sheets.

She was without her armor and naked inside, her magnificent blonde hair looking glorious against the white sheets, giving her the appearance of a princess.



But in reality, she is a much stronger person than I am, so I doubt that the role of the captive princess will ever come up. If yo u a re ab le to re a d thi s mes sa ge, yo u are re ad in g fro m an unaut hori zed agg r egate si te.

“Hey.”

I light a cigarette, and the female warrior opens her eyes and calls to me.

“Why don’t you take a break? Like, take a day off.”

“I can’t do that. My job is too important right now.”

“Eeeh. I promise I’ll take you somewhere fun once in a while.”

I was a little surprised by her unusual flirtatiousness, which came out of the blue, but I couldn’t let her drag me down right now.

“Lady,” I started, “you can come here as often as you like, but I’m neither your husband nor your lover, so you don’t have to do these things, you know?”

Despite her pouty face, the female warrior seems to know this, so she doesn’t argue.

I have not done anything to this woman since that incident, even though we share the same bed every night.

I think I am a saint these days.

“But it’s boring to be alone in a hotel every day.”

“Then you should just leave. What about the information about the heroes? Isn’t that your goal? Are you sure you’re not wasting your time here?”

“I am doing what I can.”

The female warrior, still wrapped in her sheets, jumped up and went to her bag of belongings.

“Here.”

What she lent me was a scrap of newspaper and magazine articles about the Hero, with notes in her own handwriting.

“Well, this is interesting. It shows how the Hero has expanded the front lines.”

But after a quick look at it, I felt something strange. So I looked at it again and had a serious doubt.

“The goal of the Hero was to defeat the Demon Lord, wasn’t it?”

“Hm? Of course?”

“Then why are they attacking a Demon settlement on the other side of the world?”

Before you say anything, of course, I know that when you attack an enemy country, you have to take into account various geopolitical maneuvers, such as cutting off their logistics, so it does not mean that you have to take the shortest route to get there.

However, they have even attacked and destroyed Demon countries on the other side of the world.

Frankly speaking, it’s an area that I don’t think they should get involved in if they just want to deal with the Demon Lord. This ch ap ter tran sla tion is ma de p ossi ble by stab bing wit h a syr inge tran slatio ns. Ch eck only up -to-d ate tran slat ions on my Wo rdpres s sit e.

“So what? The Demons are there. Besides, isn’t it the nature of a Hero to fight for the Humans?”

The female warrior’s eyes really light up when she talks about the Hero.

“As expected, it would be better for you to join the Hero’s party as soon as possible.”

I said that and left the room.

As soon as I left the hotel, I went to the cathedral.

That’s because I had no choice but to ask the priestess for the magic to change my voice.

“Welcome. Take a seat there.”

I sat down on the chair the priestess had designated for me.

Then she muttered an incantation and held two dimly lit fingers to my throat.

“Okay,” she said, “that’s it. It will last twelve hours longer than it does now.”

“Aaah~ aaah~. Great skill as usual.”

“Well, yeah.”

The priestess always performs her magic with such skill.

But there was one thing that was different today.

“Hey, Priestess.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you wearing a sailor’s uniform this early in the morning?”

Yes. For some reason, Miss Priestess was wearing the same sailor’s uniform as yesterday, even in the cathedral.

“Nothing special. I just felt like it. Do I look strange?”

“Yes, it’s strange. After all, a priestess shouldn’t wear anything but a priestess’s uniform in a cathedral.”

No matter how strange this priestess is, since she is an important person in the church, it would be bad if she didn’t follow the dress code while in the church.

That’s what I thought when I warned her, but suddenly she…

“This is none of your business. The magic is done, so why don’t you get the hell out of here?”

The priestess immediately became grumpy and kicked me out of the church as soon as I said it.

Now that the disguise is finished, let’s get ourselves together and go to school.

However, I felt a bit heavy.

After all, the two girls I had accidentally given my dick to after school yesterday were in the same classroom as me.

I went to class feeling as if a stone had been laid on my heart.
