“What the hell are those clothes?”

“They are mine, why?”

“Don’t you have something more… manly?”

“This is the only thing I have at your side. Besides, it suits you rather well.”

After deciding to follow Kaiyu to the city I hurried up and took a bath, washing off all the dirt and blood which stained my body after sleeping in a cave and a field.

As for my blood-soaked shirt, it was far too dirty and there was some place ripped. It couldn’t possibly wear it again, which led to a certain question: What will I be wearing?

This is where Kaiyu proposed me to wear some of her old clothes which weren’t fitting her anymore.

Giving me a black pants and a sleeveless black shirt. The problem is that they are made to stick to the wearer’s skin, which would be very sexy on a woman.

But for me, they are just promoting my girly figure. Just making me feel like I am a ‘trap’ from a certain bad novel… This is also what Kaiyu decreed as the best after making me wear many of her clothes. 

Today is also the day I lost my man’s pride some kind of ‘women only’ clothes. I absolutely don’t mean her underwear! I would rather die than falling this low, but she still tried to make me wear them.

I now understand what it feel like to be dress doll.

Seeing myself in a mirror dressed with those kinds of slender clothes, I couldn’t believe what I saw.

A young figure with silky black hair as black as the night reaching my shoulder, it was like they were illuminated by my immaculate pale white skin. My pearl-like light blue eyes were of the same color as the ocean and my face had a feminine form, but one could still find a trace of masculinity.

I really look like a tomboy, don’t I? If it wasn’t for the fact that I am a boy, I would be so pretty that most of the women which saw me would feel shameful.

Actually, Kaiyu’s choice isn’t really bad. If I was wearing normal boy’s cloth, I would most likely be floating inside due to my svelte body and be mistaken for a woman. If it wasn’t for those clothes which are sticking to my chest, showing I have no breast, I would definitely be mistaken for a girl.

No wonder Kaiyu was enjoying herself dressing me up…

“I’ll be meeting someone for work, so I won’t be able to help you with your shopping. I prepared some money for you to use.” She said as she handed me a large purse.

“It’s probably enough for you to buy a dozen of clothes. If you later on run out of money, then just ask me.”

“O-Okay…”

Opening the purse, it was all shiny! There were at least over 200 gold coins, I don’t know if that’s a little or a lot. Since Kaiyu is working in a field, she mustn't really gain that much of money. Gold must be quite common in this world.

“Also, if you happen to run into some problem, then just show this.”

She handed me a small blue knife, it looked so sharp that if I were to just graze it, I would probably cut my skin.

I didn’t understand the reason why this would help me out. Maybe she means for me to use it as a weapon? I only nodded with my head.

“Good, then let’s go.”

Taking my arm, she dragged me outside.

“How long will it take to reach the village?”

“Probably an hour or two depending on our speed.”

It’ll take that long? I wonder if that body will be able to support it. It would be bad if I collapsed on the way Kaiyu would be forced to carry me.

I know she is in love with me because of the card, not that I feel that bad about it. But in the end, I am still a man regardless of how cute I look like, I want to appear manly before a girl. Especially with a woman as beautiful as her.

As I was worrying about this and that, Kaiyu swiftly grabbed my arm as it came in contact with her generous chest. Her body rubbed against mine, yet she acted as if nothing happened. Her face was so close to mine that I could almost hear her breathing. It was warm, yet I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“K-Kaiyu?...”

“Yes?” She answered as if everything was perfectly normal.

“A-Aren’t you too...close?”

“I know.”

Her voice was calm and composed like it was a common occurrence.

“You are someone injured, there’s still the possibility of you feeling unwell and falling on the ground. I am only supporting you.”

“Ah… T-Thanks?...”

Her reasoning would, at first, seem reasonable. But after telling me that I would have to go shopping alone in the city, doesn’t it seem somewhat suspect if you think about it?

Not that this situation is unpleasant, but thinking more deeply about it, aren’t I acting weird?

She’s madly in love with me, I know it and she’ll probably accept me no matter what I do. Yet, why am I acting like an innocent young girl? Shouldn’t I be the one who be proactive?

The moment I managed to calm my emotion, she started rubbed my arm against her bosom. As she wasn’t wearing a lot of clothes, I could clearly feel their form as they were brushing my arm, neatly feeling her body heat invading me.

Her expression stayed composed as she was looking right away from me, but I knew she was definitely doing it on purpose!

Soon, I felt a delicate fragrance invading my nostrils. Our body were almost glued together and the scent emanating from her body made my body relax and become hotter and hotter. The exquisite odor coming from her ponytail made me feel a certain desire.

My breathing slowly became hot and rough as a certain part of my body began to swell. Trying my best not to seem suspicious, I took in and out a few deep breath while doing my best to throw away any dirty thoughts.

I think Kaiyu didn’t notice anything, or at least, I hope so.

After managing to calm my feelings down, I more or less managed to hold them back for the whole traject. A whole hour stuck against Kaiyu’s beautiful body and seeing her pretty face from close up… This in a certain way could be described as being at the same time in heaven and hell.

After arriving in the city, we separated after agreeing on meeting at the city’s door in three hours.

Well then, who will my next target be?

* * * * *

Kaiyu’s POV:

Am I really lacking in charm? While I consider myself as a beautiful woman, I can’t help but doubt.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

At first, I thought that seducing him would be something easy. But even having him touch my chest for a whole hour, Yuu didn’t look perturbed. At least not as much as I was.

Before knowing him, I never had any interest in a single member of the other gender. What should I do to make him fall for me? Ah... I can’t stop thinking about him. I want to see you even though I just saw you a few minutes ago.

I only know some basics founded on rumors, like ‘using food to capture his stomach then heart’ or secretly having as much skinship as possible. But how do I know if this is successful?

What I am lacking right now is information… People say ‘Love is War’. 

War require information, and so I do. One of the main reason for me coming here is to obtain them, and I know who might have them…

Walking toward in the dark side of the city where even the guards are afraid to go, I was quickly encircled by a dozen of men. 

“Houhou~ Look at what we have here.”

“Wow, what a beauty.”

“Huhuh. Hey, young girl, this side of the city is pretty dangerous. Why don’t you follow us toward a safer place?”

Most of them have a lecherous expression, they aren’t even trying to hide it. All wearing a yellow bandana on the head, they probably belong to the same faction.

There're many factions in Karos, but never did any of them even dare surround me. Are they newbies?

“Hihi~ She’s totally ignoring us.”

“Is she underestimating us? Boss, let’s just rape her!” The man yelled as he turned toward a bald man in his thirties.

“Walking in our territory without permission, you need to pay a fee ya know?” He said trying to be intimidating.

What should I do? It’s not like killing those lowlifes would be difficult, but I don’t want to show myself before Yuu soaked in blood… Guess I’ll just give in for now.

*CLANG*

I took out my purse and threw it on the ground, it made a large sound as it fell to the ground.

All of the thugs just looked at the purse with their eyes wide open. Even their boss looked as if he was out of breath.

There's only 500 coins inside the purse, not that much but still enough for them to live a few years without working.

I feel bad for having to give in to their demand, but it isn’t as important as the image Yuu has of me.

...Actually, they should try to enjoy it while they still can, I’ll retrieve my money and some ‘INTEREST’ the next time I head out at night.

With that said I walked away, but I suddenly stopped as I felt a hand drop on my shoulder. It was their ‘boss’.

“Where do you think you are going?~ You really thought this was enough?”

“I already paid your ‘fee’, what else do you want?”

“Kukuku~”

The man laughed for a moment with a disgusting expression before moving his left hand.

…

The man suddenly froze as dropped to his knee and his hand fell to the ground.

“Y-YOU BITCH! Rape her!!” He shouted.

“She cut the boss hand, kill her!!”

“A bunch of small fry… Actually dared…”

One of the thugs ran toward me as he took out a small dagger wrapped around his pants.

“You actually dare disgrace my body… The only one allowed to touch my body is Yuu!”

The very next moment, I was behind the thug. He had a foolish look on his face as he looked where I was gone. Turning his head to look for me, the body didn’t follow the movement as his head fell on the ground.

A blue dagger in my hand, it was slightly stained with blood.

“W-What did you do?” The boss asked, showing an ugly expression distorted with fear.

“None of you… Shall leave alive.”

One of the thugs on his bottom as he took a glance at my dagger. His visage turned white, his body started to shake, unable to calm down.

“H-Hey, isn’t that blue dagger…”

“It can’t be… The Ice Reap-”

The man never finished his words, blood flew in the sky before raining down on the ground. The surrounding was soaked in a reddish color.

“Only him… Only Yuu can touch my body…”

The moment I regained myself I was surrounded with dead bodies, my clothes stained with their blood.

Ahh… I am covered with blood… What will I say to Yuu now? I should hurry and change myself. I think I left some clothes at his house, well it was my destination anyway.

Walking for a few minutes, I quickly arrived in front of a small wooden house in the deepest part of the slums. This time, no one dared to stop me with my blood-soaked clothes.

*Knock* *Knock*

An old man opened the door, it was Radus. He wasn’t surprised by my bloody appearance but only sighed.

“It’s rare for you to visit me, do you suddenly need something?”

“For now, clothes. Also...” I hesitated for a few seconds while blushing.

“Also?”

“Do you know a new faction wearing yellows bandanas?”

After what they did, I ain’t letting them escape like this.

“The yellow brigade? They indeed gained some strength recently, they are pretty ruthless so no one really want to be their enemy.”

“Give me the location of their headquarter, you can take the information’s fee on the previous contract’s reward.”

“Aww~. I guess they ran out of luck. I know someone who’s in contact with them, give me a few minutes.”

“There’s another thing…”

“Yes?”

“Tell all you know about… how to seduce a man.”

Radus fell on the ground while holding his chest.

“The hell?! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! I never thought you knew how to joke...” I frowned.

“It wasn’t a joke…”
