“Now, swing it around as much as you want.”
The captain, who had his arms crossed, opened his eyes wide as if he was going to watch. Lara felt like she was going to die from the burden, but she did as she was told. She waved her sword in the air a few times, making a boom, boom sound, and then glanced back at the captain.
His face was on the verge of petrification, as if she had been attacked by Medusa in the blink of an eye. His expression, as hard as a rock, was scary enough to send goosebumps up her arms.
“This kid, this brat, isn’t swinging it around for fun? What the heck!! Am I kidding? Huh!!”
“Eek… … .”
“Don’t do that, swing it like this, like this!!”
In the end, the captain, who couldn’t stand it anymore, approached and placed his hands on Lara’s arms, who were holding the sword. As soon as his hands touched her arms, the captain’s eyes shook wildly like a boat in a storm.
“You… are you a woman… …?”
‘No, how would you know if I just grabbed your arm?!’
I can’t believe I got caught like this, Lara was surprised and stepped back, wondering if she could get caught like this. At that moment, a knight passing by accidentally bumped elbows with him, and for a moment, the knight’s eyes began to waver.
“You… are you a woman… …?”
‘No, how would you know if I touched your elbows!’
Lara was equally confused. Isn’t it usually the chest or chest that you get caught? Could it be that they’re a group of superpowered people who distinguish men and women by their arms?
“Hey, Captain. Don’t grab too many newbies.”
A knight approached her from afar, flashing a friendly smile. Lara felt a little sorry for the person who came to help her, but she pretended it was a mistake and stepped on his foot.
I only stepped on his foot a little, but the knight’s eyes, which turned to Lara, began to tremble.
“You… are you a woman… …?”
‘I’m not surprised anymore. Yes, you know everything.’
<This is a non-cliche… … .>
When she heard serious muttering, Lara finally understood what was going on. The moment she was about to take her steps, thinking that it would be best to leave this place, a voice grabbed her from behind.
“Wait, you… you saw me yesterday?”
Lara desperately ran towards the entrance, thinking that she couldn’t get caught here, but she couldn’t shake off the current knight. Lara’s body was forcibly turned around by a strong grip that grabbed her arm from behind.
She flinched and let go of the arm that was holding her, and her brother’s gaze was wavering as he looked down at her. ‘You too.’
“You… a woman? How can a woman be in the Knights… … .”
‘No, if you know she’s a woman, you should also realize that she’s your sister!’
<The cliché that you have to see or touch a specific body part of a woman to realize that she’s a woman has been destroyed. How miserable… … .>
Lara could completely understand the god’s miserable feelings, who couldn’t continue speaking. The situation had really gone to shit.
Within a day of joining, a third of the knights knew that Lara was a woman. She was a supporting character anyway, so even so, the problem was the female protagonist, Elina3. While they were sitting together to eat, Lara looked back at Elina3. She seemed like a boy, naturally joining in while talking about training, but she didn’t know.
Taking advantage of the restaurant’s atmosphere where people could talk freely, Lara asked, “Is Edgar3 popular with the ladies?” Nine out of ten of them avoided eye contact or snickered with a mysterious smile. It seemed like the composure of someone who knew.
As expected, the knights knew that she was a woman. Judging from the way they treated her like a comfortable colleague, it seemed like they still didn’t know that she was a princess, but it was still hopeless.
<The cliché that when the female protagonist dresses as a man, no one around her except the male protagonist knows she’s a woman seems to have disappeared.>
‘Does the Knight Commander know that Elina 3 is a woman, or rather a princess?’
<I don’t know either. How far has the power of the evil non-cliche spread… … .>
‘Then it’s a big deal. I have to check it out right away!’
Lara kicked the table and got up. As she was walking out of the restaurant, she heard footsteps behind her. Thinking that Elina 3 had stopped eating and followed her, she turned around to see her brother, whom she didn’t want to think about, standing there, hesitating.
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you without even knowing you were a woman. I thought you were a pitiful guy when you were in my sister’s room in the middle of the night.”
‘… What on earth is a pitiful guy?’
Lara suppressed her trembling fists and forced a smile. “I’m busy, so I’ll go.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Let go of this!”
Lara glared at her brother’s hand that was holding her wrist, her eyes turning bloodshot. Lawrence brought his free hand to the back of her neck and rubbed it awkwardly.
“I understand why you’re so sensitive.” “If you know, please leave.”
“Whew… … . I want to get along with you. Can I contact you in the future?”
Lara’s fiercely glaring eyes softened slightly and she quickly opened them wide as if she was looking at something dirty. That thing floating on her brother’s earlobe, that faint light, was definitely blushing.
“Why do people say that? People are attracted to the opposite sex who resemble themselves. … Hmm, I thought that when I first saw you, but you look like me.” ‘That’s because we came from the same boat, you idiot!’
The more she heard, the more she felt like banging her head against a nearby stone pillar. Oh, God. Please save that hopeless brat.
<In order to save your brother, you have no choice but to connect the male and female leads as soon as possible.>
It was a good opportunity to regain a sense of purpose. “I need to go to the bathroom! Excuse me.”
“That direction is the boss’s office… …?”
A voice stopped me twice, saying, “Wait, over there,” but Lara ignored it and used the Lady’s Retraction Technique. She was able to gain the courage to move forward as she recalled her precious childhood memories with her brother.
Knock knock.
When a neat knock sounded inside the office, Diches, who was looking through documents even during lunch break, raised his head. Without asking who it was, a neutral voice was heard from beyond the door first.
“I’m a new employee, Laan. Can I see the boss?” “Please come in.”
Diches put down the documents in his hands for a moment and looked at the door. If it was Laan, it must have been the new employee who came in today.
“Do you have any business?”
“I have something to ask about my friend.” “Go ahead.”
“Edgar3 has been complaining of stomach pain for a few days. He seems to be in a lot of pain even during training. It doesn’t seem to be a disease, and it doesn’t seem to be a simple stomachache… I was wondering if you know anything about it.”
“I’ve never heard of any underlying illness.”
Dichess spoke thoughtfully, as if he had no clue. Meanwhile, Lara’s eyes were more precise than nanosecond lasers, carefully scanning his face.
‘… No matter how you look at it, you don’t seem to know that he’s a woman, do you?’
<There’s no way you wouldn’t know about menstrual cramps, but Edgar3 and menstrual cramps don’t match up… You definitely don’t seem to know.>
‘Should we try harder?’
Lara, who had received God’s consent, raised the bar.
“We were training with Edgar3 earlier, and we fell over and rolled around on the dirt together. When I asked him to go into the shower room with me, Edgar3 insisted on taking a shower alone, right? So I forced him into the shower room and took off his clothes.”
“… … .”
At that moment, Diches’s face turned cold and hard. “Why are you bringing that up in front of me?”
<… It seems like you’re obsessed.>
‘I think so too. He seem to know that she is a woman?’
Just when Lara was confident and delighted, Diches suddenly kicked off his work desk and stood up. As a murderous atmosphere swept over him, Lara slowly raised her head and looked at his face above her head.
The shadowed face had become even more shady. The murderousness had also become even more intense, and Lara couldn’t help but worry about her own safety.
It was short-sighted to openly provoke the male protagonist, known as the Sword of the Empire. He was disguised as a commoner knight, so she thought that if she kept going like this, she might get killed.
“You are now completely under my command.”
“… That, that… I think it was really reckless. Please spare my life… … .”
“But as soon as you join the Knights, you touch someone else’s clothes? You didn’t touch me even once.”
A firm hand roughly grabbed Lara’s wrist. Then it began to dig into the gap between his open suit front.
“Try to take off my clothes too. Now— Go ahead and do it.” “Whoa! What are you, what are you doing? Let go of my hand!”
“And you will go to the shower room with me and take a shower. Before that, we will train together and roll around in the dirt, and that is all with me.”
Lara was startled by the man’s firm bare chest under her palm. The bulging, moving chest muscles were so unfamiliar.
That was when a knock was heard outside the door. Lara felt alive because she thought someone would save her from this situation, even though she didn’t know who it was. “Come in.”
The door opened and a knight, presumably in his late 20s, bowed his head politely and entered.
“I just got back… … . Oh, I’m sorry.”
The knight’s face hardened as soon as he raised his face. A young knight was putting his hand between the captain and the captain’s open shirt. The captain’s hand was holding the boy’s wrist, whether he was trying to pull it away or preventing it. In any case, it was clear that there was room for misunderstanding.
“… Captain, if you’re talking about something important, I’ll come see you later.”
“No. Come in and sit down.”
‘No, please take my hand off!’
Whether he knew Lara’s intentions or not, Diches sat down on the sofa. When Lara forced herself to sit down next to him, the knight also sat stiffly on the sofa opposite him.
Diches cast a slightly soft gaze toward the knight who couldn’t meet his eyes. “Did you have a nice honeymoon?”
“Yes, I just got back.”
“I heard from the escort knight. How was your trip?”
