A few days passed, and the Royal Capital Festival was upon us.

The festival doesn’t just last for a day, it goes on for three days.

Right now, people would be laughing and enjoying the festivities.

But at this moment, I was feeling a bit down.

Damn it. Why did I agree to this?

Wait, before that, what was I thinking when I asked Lise to help me with this?

As I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, I lost focus for a moment, and Lise made a ‘shh’ sound beside me.

“Young Master, you can’t move. Your makeup will smudge.”

“Uh, okay.”

I nodded unconsciously at Lise’s commanding tone.

Damn it. I feel like killing myself.

To explain how I ended up in this situation, I have to go back a few hours.

.

.

.

A few hours ago, as the Royal Capital Festival approached, I was seriously pondering how to cross-dress perfectly.

Cross-dressing itself is simple, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll win just by doing that.

Honestly, there might be a few guys who take it seriously.

Aside from that, if I go through all this trouble to cross-dress and end up being recognized by someone I know, I might as well die from embarrassment.

So if I’m going to do it, I have to do it perfectly and not get recognized.

Especially not by Kage, Skaya, or Jenny.

Thankfully, Eileen, Origin and Lise are quite discreet, but if I were to be recognized by any of those three…

Damn it. The news might not spread, but I’m sure they’d milk it for years.

Especially Kage and Skaya, they’d squeeze every last drop out of it.

This won’t do. I’ll use my points.

It might seem funny to use my points for this, but Attribute Change is a trait worth investing in.

Anyway, the gender change item doesn’t cost that many points.

With that thought, I entered the cash shop.

I scrolled through the shop and examined each item one by one.

Almost at the very bottom, there was a gender change ring.

500 points…

I checked my current points in the status window.

David von Kaine.

Age: 20.

Traits: Game-like Abilities, Death Return.

Talents: Mana, Imagination. Magi.

Points: 1,000.

Huh? What’s going on? Why do I only have 1,000 points left?

I clearly remember having 1,500 points left after purchasing the color setting by justly defeating Ashard in the name of justice.

Damn it. What’s going on? Did the system take away my points because it didn’t like that I dealt the final blow to Ashard?

No, that can’t be it.

I defeated Ashard justly.

I have no regrets about my actions at that time.

Anyway, that’s not the important thing.

Why the hell did my points disappear?

I wondered if I had purchased something and forgotten about it, so I took out each item from the Space Ring and examined them.

But the Space Ring only contained the items I had bought so far.

My clone is probably just hanging out with Origin and eating snacks.

Anyway, I didn’t buy or do anything.

Hmm. I’ll have to think about this seriously later.

With that thought, I put the items back into the Space Ring and looked at the gender change ring.

Yeah, I’ll buy it.

Since I’m doing this, I’ll win and make sure no one recognizes me.

With that determination, I purchased the gender change ring.

-Pong!

A silver ring appeared in mid-air.

I caught it before it hit the ground and put it on my index finger.

The ring adjusted to fit my finger size, and it slipped on easily.

All I need to do is infuse it with power, right?

-Gulps!

For some reason, I felt nervous.

What would it feel like to become a woman?

Was it out of curiosity?

Without hesitation, I infused the ring with mana.

And then…

My height gradually decreased, and my field of vision lowered.

The important part that should have been between my legs disappeared as if it had never existed.

Not only that, but my chest began to swell, and my facial features seemed to change in a feminine way.

After a while, the transformation stopped.

Where’s a mirror?

To check how I looked now, I approached the mirror in my room.

“What the hell…”

I couldn’t help but curse.

The person in the mirror had slightly slanted eyes, but it made them look more feminine rather than unattractive.

Even though my clothes were loose, my chest was quite prominent.

Moreover, my height had decreased, although it was still a bit taller than the average woman.

It felt like I had been possessed again.

As I was still in shock, Lise knocked on the door and entered to clean my room.

-Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Young Master, excuse me for a moment.”

“Huh? Wait!”

I tried to stop her, but my voice had already changed, so Lise sensed something strange.

“A woman’s voice…”

-Slam!

Damn it.

Lise opened the door and looked around.

After scanning the room, her gaze fixed on me.

Fortunately, I was facing away from her, so she was looking at the back of my head.

I cleared my throat to speak in my original voice and said,

“Ahem. Hey, Lise? I have something to do, but can you leave for a bit?”

“……Yes, I understand. But Young Master, before that, I need to check why your voice and height have changed.”

Lise responded to my question with concern and quickly approached me to look at my face.

“Huh!”

As soon as our eyes met, Lise gasped and stared at me with wide eyes.

She quickly scanned my face and body.

“Do, Young Master? Is that you?”

“Uh… yeah.”

I couldn’t deny it; Lise’s gaze was almost certain.

Damn it. This is terrible.

At least it’s Lise who recognized me, which is a small relief…

Damn it. I feel like killing myself.

Why did I sign up for the cross-dressing competition?

What the hell am I doing, going to such lengths for that Attribute Change?

Just a moment ago, I didn’t think much of it, but now that I’ve been recognized by someone I know, I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment.

My face felt hot, and I clenched my fists, trembling. Lise, with a curious look in her eyes, cautiously asked me.

“Do, Young Master… Have you ever thought about trying makeup?”

“Huh? What?”

“Yes! If you put on makeup right now, you’ll look so pretty!”

Lise was unusually excited, unlike her usual self.

For a moment, I felt like she had discovered something strange, but it was probably just my imagination.

Yeah, that must be it. Damn it.

In the end, I gave up and nodded in agreement to her question without thinking.

“Uh, yeah. Then, please do my makeup.”

“Yes! I’ll do it.”

.

.

.

I sighed deeply, breaking my train of thought.

“Haa…”

“Young Master, is there anything you don’t like about your appearance?”

“Huh? No, it’s fine. It looks great.”

It wasn’t a lie.

The person in the mirror was so perfect that no one would ever guess it was Kaine in a cross-dress.

I’m sure that if I walked down the street like this, people would turn to look at me.

That’s why I feel even more overwhelmed.

As I was feeling overwhelmed, Lise tilted her head and asked me.

“By the way, Young Master. How did you end up like this?”

“Uh, well…”

Should I explain?

To be honest, it’s a bit awkward to lie now that she’s seen my appearance.

So instead of lying, it’s better to explain.

But the problem is… how do I explain it?

It would be too embarrassing to tell Lise that I wanted to win the cross-dressing competition, so I transformed.

Damn it. I feel so ashamed.

I stuttered as I explained to Lise why I looked like this, leaving out the part about the quest.

“So, you wanted to win the cross-dressing competition, so you transformed into this… using that ring?”

“Uh… yeah, that’s right.”

Lise nodded in response to my words, but her face showed that she genuinely couldn’t understand me.

Damn it. Don’t look at me like that! I feel ashamed too!!

As I felt ashamed, my face grew hotter, but what made me even angrier was that the reflection in the mirror was so damn pretty.

As I was thinking this, Lise complimented me with an embarrassed expression.

“You… look so pretty, Young Master.”

“Uh, yeah. Thanks.”

Was that a compliment? I think so.

“Anyway, can you do my makeup on the day of the cross-dressing competition?”

“Yes, I’ll do it. I’ll make it even more perfect than today.”

In response to my request, she nodded confidently.

So, if she can make it even better than this, no one will recognize me…

As I was thinking this, I felt a sense of unease.

I looked at Lise with a serious expression and asked,

“Lise. How did you recognize me as Kaine right away?”

“Huh? No matter how you change, you’re still Young Master, right? And your hairstyle was exactly the same.”

Damn it. Why is her insight so good?

“So, if you saw me like this for the first time, would you have recognized me? Assuming I wore a wig.”

“Well… I can’t say for sure, but I might have had a slight suspicion. I think I wouldn’t have recognized you.”

“Then, would the others recognize me?”

“Hmm… I don’t think so.”

Damn it. That’s probably true.

With that thought, I sighed in relief.

I returned to my original state, removed the makeup, and walked towards the grade tournament venue, feeling ashamed.

Meanwhile, at that moment, my clone was watching Kaine from a distance and shaking his head.

“Why do I feel embarrassed too?”

“Why? Isn’t it cute? Honestly, if I were next to him, I would have hugged him.”

“Don’t say that in front of the main body. You’ll probably die of embarrassment.”

“Ugh!! Then I’ll have to ask him to show me later!”

… I don’t know about that.

The clone ignored Origin’s crazed gaze and looked at the distant mountains.

The clone changed the subject because he felt embarrassed too.

“By the way, do you really not remember getting drunk?”

“Huh? Of course I don’t remember!”

“Hmm. Really?”

Actually, I do.

To be honest, I remember everything I did in a drunken rage.

But it’s too embarrassing to admit that it’s my black history.

To be honest, I knew I was weaker than when I descended, but I never imagined I’d be so weak that I’d get drunk.

Origin blushed with embarrassment and opened her mouth with exaggerated gestures.

“Anyway! Let’s forget about that! What about you? Was there anything suspicious when I wasn’t around?”

“Yeah, everything was the same as usual.”

“Hmm. Really? Tch! Then, let’s keep watching for a while.”

“Yeah. We’ll know if we keep watching.”

With that, the two of them resumed watching Kaine from a distance.
