I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

34 – Breaking the illusion-5

After making a decision, Florence ran towards Daisy’s office.

As she ran in her white dress, the other gladiators looked at her curiously.

However, there was no room for that gaze in Florence’s head.

‘I found it. Ah, no, I found something…’

Partying with her man, she and her superior women had to pay a lot of money to get that one chance.

However, this man seemed a little different.

‘If he could get such a great favor just by fighting him…’

Come to think of it, there weren’t many situations where a woman met a man 1:1 and looked at each other for a certain amount of time.

Even if a woman has a personality or physical charm, in order to show it, she needs to be taken to a place that is on the same level as a man.

‘If it’s too late, rarity may decrease…’

Florence was convinced that if she could overcome all of those processes and face him, she would be able to captivate him with her charm.

But even there was a time limit. When the league starts, he too will be fighting nonstop.

If you waited until then, waited for your turn, not knowing when he would come back, and tried to fight him, you would have to wait for an opportunity among his women, piled up like a mountain before you knew it.

I had to fight him for a few days to get his attention.

“Ugh…”

I envy you. Even though she was born into an aristocratic family and had worked hard all her life, she had never met a man in the garden.

The gladiator named ‘Dana’, who is said to have saved a man who had collapsed on the street, could not help it, but he did not want to be pushed by other gladiators.

Arriving at Daisy’s office, Florence calmly opened the door after catching her breath.

“Excuse me.”

Daisy greeted this cheeky uninvited guest with a smile.

“Ah, Miss Florence? Welcome. Have you seen the Colosseum?”

She had quite a few gladiators she contracted with her, but Daisy remembered most of them.

Besides, I couldn’t forget Florence. It was because she was a gladiator born from an active aristocratic daughter, who was distinctly different from ordinary gladiators.

The skill was guaranteed to some extent, and the character was certain.

If it wasn’t for Evan, it wouldn’t have been easy to bring such a high-level talent into the Colosseum.

“Yes. It’s a little out of class, but it sure was a solid and nice facility.”

According to the data Daisy was handed to her, she was not a ‘real lady’ like this.

It was an unchanging fact that she was a noblewoman, but her second daughter had to worry a lot in her own way.

Her body would suffer less than her commoners, but she had to find her own path.

Her eldest daughter just needs to inherit the estate. Her financial support is sufficient, and her future is stable in her own way.

She was able to somehow meet a man if she let go of her pride enough and if she could sufficiently appeal what advantages she had over other women.

However, her second daughter is different.

She wouldn’t have any problems if it was simply to make a living, but even that wasn’t necessarily easy.

Her second daughter from her common aristocratic family had to prove her worth to herself. She had to somehow make her track record.

Those who fail to do so, or who are attached to the family, will end up getting older and eating their eyes.

“It’s nice to see you like that.”

Florence was a pretty successful person. From a very young age he succeeded in difficult ascents and was talented in duels.

But, of course, he was a bit different from the ordinary and wealthy girl.

“That, I want to ask you something… Come.”

“Is that so?”

Daisy skillfully realized that Florence was desperate.

“Could you arrange a match for me with that… Male gladiator in the Colosseum?”

Florence tried hard to put on a relaxed face, but the words that came out of her mouth were not very ‘cultured’.

After taking it out, Florence was able to realize what was wrong with her behavior.

She broke into the Colosseum manager’s office and asked her to arrange a meeting with a man.

“It’s the main line…”

Daisy’s expression darkened slightly. Florence felt her whole body freeze.

It was a mistake. When she was acting as a merchant, it made sense for her to come up with the topic as soon as possible and then talk to her, even if she was rather direct.

However, she behaved inappropriately with a ‘lady’. If she had been a classy lady of society, she would have been more careful about men’s affairs.

At least after she met Daisy three or more times and polished her friendship, she would very carefully recount her duel with him.

In fact, even that was a reckless and courageous act that went too far.

But Florence had no time. If she hesitated any longer, she might have missed her opportunity.

“Well, of course, it’s at my discretion when, how, and with whom the event will be held.”

Daisy grinned. She, who runs a huge business called the Colosseum, also knew how to deal with people like this.

“But somehow, it might be a bit difficult to fulfill a personal request…”

Florence bit her lip.

It was something I was determined to do. The opponent is a formidable opponent for Florence to pressure simply with the value of the name of the family she belongs to.

If she contacted her sister and forced her, she would only get a spot before the event, but that was her long-term loss.

Neither she nor her family had the financial power to take over the entire Colosseum.

Then, she is bound to be interfered with by Daisy as long as she is in the Colosseum after all. She did nothing good by being hostile with her.

In the end, we have to resolve the conversation in a way that is mutually beneficial.

“If it’s gold coins, I have some.”

It’s an aristocratic family’s ascension. The privileges that could be received, the escorts that could be used, and the privileges and personal connections were huge enough to be incomparable to those of ordinary merchants.

Of course, the money Florence had saved was not small.

“Gold coins…”

“How about this?”

In the documents Florence showed me, it was written that she had no small amount of money available for her personal use.

“Didn’t you quit your job at the company?”

“That’s right… I bought it. I’ve disposed of it now.”

But apart from her success, Florence has taken care of her business.

“Oh, I see… Excuse me, but may I ask why?”

“Well, I also… Wanted to meet a man.”

“Is that so… That can’t be helped.”

Men wanted women to have a lot of money, but they didn’t want to dedicate their lives to it.

Women are ‘of course’ rich and sincere, but instead of pouring that sincerity into something else, they should have poured it entirely into the man.

Men who engage in personal leisure activities did not even come into my eyes, and even if they do things that they can brag to others on their own, women’s work takes precedence over men, so they cannot satisfy the eyes of high-ranking men. .

Since men had such a mindset, Florence, who wanted to meet a man as soon as possible, had no choice.

No matter how quickly it ends, you have to be away for a few days.

Men wanted a woman who could run beside them whenever they wanted.

Unfortunately, Florence had to give up his top in exchange for a chunk of money.

‘Please…’

However, Florence’s hard-earned money vanished in vain.

She also knew with her head. Men’s extravagance and vanity are by no means small, and to satisfy them, you have to literally spend money like water.

Still, she was not an immature young lady who only spent money earned by others.

Every time she bought a rare animal, beautiful perfume, or expensive clothes for a man, her heart burned.

Rather than wasting money, it was despair over investment without a promise. She knows that no matter how much she contributes to Selam or what she gives as a gift, it will be meaningless.

Compared to that, the money spent on this sword fight was a much more reasonable investment. So much so that Florence spends most of her fortune here.

“Hmm… You’re really, really serious. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

“It won’t be enough. Even the girl thinks that this level of investment is worth it.”

Daisy was smiling her mouth full, at this woman’s delightful offer.

“There’s no need to do that. This alone is already a lot of money. However, I personally can’t take the money and hold an event exhibition in return.”

Anxiety filled Florence’s eyes.

“That, what do you mean by that…”

“It’s not illegal… But you know what? If the patrols cracking down on morals see this, they won’t think well of me.”

“Hee!”

Florence’s body froze. Even for her kind of aristocrat, her inflexible madmen were terrifying.

“A-Are you being treated as indirect prostitution…?”

“There’s a possibility. As expected, you’ve met men before, so you’re wary. You can talk.”

At least indirectly, it is to sell an encounter with a man in exchange for money.

She seemed like she was no different from Selam in fact, but Daisy didn’t have the courage to defend herself with such a bold statement after she was arrested.

“That, that’s…”

“But.”

Daisy smiled slightly and seduced Florence with sweet words.

“I think we can voluntarily ‘invest’ in the business we are doing…”

“Investment?”

“Well, by any chance, you don’t know. For reasons absolutely unrelated to that investment, Florence-nim’s event might suddenly be held?”

Florence smiled broadly, as if relieved. After thinking about it for a while, she made a promise to cooperate with the investment.

The two women were laughing in a friendly way.
