chapter 25
25. An unimaginable identity.
After hearing Medea’s words, I immediately had all sorts of thoughts.
Kazar Youplane is the sub male lead of ‘Ropanso’. That is, he was a male character. But the person claiming to be Khazar Youplane in front of me is a woman.
‘This is…….’
Either this woman is lying to me, or that Khazar Youplein was a woman.
“… I know Kazar Youplane is a man.”
“Yes? I’ve only lived my life as a woman until now?”
Come to think of it, Seldas’ information only said that he was a descendant of the Euplane family, but he did not mention his gender.
‘The reason Kazar came out as a man is…….’
In the game, he would have disguised his gender as a man to assassinate Count Sayrel. He secretly escapes the county after killing the count.
Then you wouldn’t be able to infer that Kazar was the culprit. He said that it was a man who killed the count, and a woman who killed Khazar.
‘It’s not impossible.’
If that’s the case, it fits why he didn’t have a lot of importance, and why he couldn’t be chosen as the main male lead. Because his actual gender was female.
But I suddenly had a question. Why did Kha-Zar continue his life as a man until he left the county? It’s happening in the future, so I can’t ask openly.
For now, putting all my doubts aside, I tried my best to stay calm.
“You made a mistake.”
“No. The information award may be wrong.”
Kajar smiled and put the teacup away. Then he started talking in detail about Earl Seyrel.
“You could call Earl Sayrel really bad.”
“Bad?”
“He is a man who shows a lot of female color.”
After arranging the tea cups, Kazar sat face to face with me again and continued talking.
“If there is a girl she likes, she will falsely frame her and take her away, or even kidnap her. After that, even if I don’t tell you, you will know, right?”
I nodded. It was really bad. Crazy bastard.
“I was often s*xually harassed too.”
“You’re a bad boy.”
“Isn’t it?”
Looking at the glowing eyes, it seems that a lot has accumulated over the years.
“So, what are you planning on doing?”
“There is a party going on today.”
“Are you going to proceed with the assassination there?”
“Yes.”
“That sounds like a bit reckless.”
Smile. Kazar laughed lightly.
“I can use gender-changing magic.”
“… What? Change gender?”
“Yes. It is impossible to come back.”
Did he change his gender not just with camouflage, but with magic? So it seems that he had no choice but to continue his life as a man after that. The question has been resolved.
“How are you going to change your gender to male?”
“I would say that I brought a lucrative business to Count Sayrell. Besides women, he likes money.”
“So?”
“Then we will move to a private room where we can have a close conversation with him.”
“Are you going to kill me there and run away?”
“Yes.”
A pretty plausible plan. There are people who saw Count Sayrel moving with a man at the party, so no one can guess that it was Kazar Youplane.
Because Khazar Uplane was a woman.
‘Then he escaped from the county without looking back.’
Sacrifice even changing gender for the sake of the people of the county without causing damage to the Euplane family. It must have been difficult to adjust to the new life.
But if there is a story like this, put it in a sub quest.
‘A foolish production company.’
I said.
“I don’t think you need to use gender-changing magic.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll just go in, kill him, and come out.”
“Isn’t that really reckless?”
Well. Since I’m an outsider and a slave from the dukedom, I don’t think you can guess the culprit.
“Just believe. Have you decided on a partner when entering the party?”
“No. I was going in alone.”
“Then take me in. Prepare two masks.”
Kazar tilted his head.
“Why two masks?”
“One when you enter, the other when you kill him.”
She groaned and widened her eyes.
“Then you won’t be suspected of entering with me, and I’ll be able to take care of the count. I’ll take care of the detailed strategy, so all you have to do is join the party.”
Kazar asked.
“But how are you going to kill me?”
“I intend to kill it with my own hands.”
“Then it will take some time?”
“I’ll take care of it, you just have to follow me.”
She opened her eyes shallowly and glared at me.
“What if it fails? Then the blow is a bit big.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t fail.”
“I can see how strong you are. But… ….”
Actually, I’m worried too. Although the Sword Master’s powers are becoming familiar and controllable, assassination is different.
You should also expect blood to splatter. Kazar Yuplane in the game would not have worried about this because he assassinated with magic, but I use an aura that requires melee combat.
“Hmm… ….”
“Wouldn’t it be better if I did it?”
“No, I will.”
“You are stubborn in strange places.”
Why am I so stubborn? There is something difficult when Kazar turns into a man.
Just like me, Somire must be curious about Kazar. If that happens, I can go to Somire according to the fate of the sub male lead. So, it would be better for her to continue her life as a woman and to rule out her possibility altogether.
I asked her.
“Do you have a pen or something?”
“A pen? I have feather pens.”
Ka-Zar rummaged through her messy room and pulled out one of her feather pens.
“But why the pen?”
“Give me this.”
I grabbed the pen and poured the aura. Then, the blue light embraced the pen.
“Looks like it will work.”
“Are you sure you want to throw it?”
“Yes.”
Huh, Ka-Zar opened his mouth and couldn’t follow his words.
“Go outside. I want to test how powerful it is.”
“Yes… ….”
After leaving the house, I stood in front of a nearby tree. I poured the aura into the feather pen again and pulled up the muscles in my arm as much as possible.
“Huh!”
Chack! With the sound of cutting the wind, the feather pen flies at an invisible speed. Tung! With a heavy sound, there was a hole in the tree the size of a fist.
“… What are you doing?”
“Can’t you see it? I threw my pen.”
“No, how can I use an aura like that?”
I don’t know. I just did it.
“You’re not going to kill Count Sayrel like that, are you?”
“Then how do I kill you?”
“Huh.”
Kazar can’t close his gaping mouth.
“With this, the solution is solved, and the rest is to attend the party.”
I looked at Kazar and continued.
“Is there anywhere to get a mask?”
* * *
Time passed, and I wandered around the county. Fortunately, I was able to purchase two masks at the mask shop.
A cat mask with indigo fur. And the other mask was a rabbit mask that reminded me of Frances.
“When does the party start?”
“It will start soon.”
“Do you have any clothes to wear?”
“I have, but I don’t have men’s clothes.”
“Hmm.”
It’s impossible to wear a duke’s uniform. Need to buy something to wear to a party? Then you should buy a suit. I have no money
“Kazar. Do you have money to buy a suit? Because I didn’t bring any money.”
“… You don’t have money right now, so you want me to buy it for you?”
“Yes.”
Haa, Kazar sighed.
“You are shameless.”
“Then you can’t go out wearing this uniform. Your identity will be revealed.”
“You probably have the clothes your brother used to wear. I’m not sure if the size is right…….”
Kazar took the lead.
“Follow me. I will go to my hometown.”
I asked on the way.
“Is the family living well?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I can’t live without being a count. Whether it was commoners or nobles. It’s the same.”
The count’s family seems to suck a lot of blood. Well, people like that have always existed regardless of the era.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at Kazar’s home. It was a modest, small mansion.
“Come in.”
I entered the mansion. There were no attendants. Even other family members.
“Is anyone there?”
“My younger brother and my parents went to work as counts.”
Since you said you were a local baron, you’ll take care of all the work of the count’s family. From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like Earl Sayrel is working.
‘I don’t know if it’s not overkill.’
Well, this is a problem that can be solved by killing Earl Sayrel, so let’s not take it too seriously.
“This is the dress.”
The clothes Kazar brought were beige suits.
“Try it on. I need to check the size.”
I only tried on the top for a while, but it was a bit small. My body should be in moderation.
“I think this will be fine.”
“… Can’t it be torn apart?”
“I know.”
“I’ll be out for now, so try on everything.”
Kung. Kazar closed the door and left. I threw off my uniform and put on a beige suit. It’s a bit tight, but not to the point of being uncomfortable.
“Come in.”
“How are you? Do you think it won’t break?”
“It’s a little uncomfortable, but it won’t tear.”
“… Should I be careful? My hands were shaking when I bought that suit.”
Are you that poor? It seems that you live worse than commoners in the dukedom.
“If it gets torn, don’t worry, the Duke’s family will compensate you.”
“… Well, it’s Duke Descartes, so money shouldn’t be a big deal.”
You will be surprised to learn that I was in fact a slave.
“Then why are you covering your neck with a bandage?”
“I got hurt while training.”
“As expected, it seems that the training is intense.”
No. It was wrapped to cover the slave certification choker.
“When does the party start?”
“Not long. The time will be just right if we head to the Count’s House from now on.”
“Let’s leave right away. Are you going by carriage?”
“Yes? You can’t take a carriage to the count’s house, can you? It’s not a livelihood.”
Oops. Can’t live like that I was forced to walk with her. On the way to the Count’s house, Kazar asked.
“Can’t you just tell me who I should be teaching magic to?”
“This is Princess Descartes.”
“Does the princess use magic?”
“No, I will learn from now on.”
“Hmm, it’s not easy to use magic.”
Kazar stroked his chin.
“You must have a talent for magical powers, and you also need math skills to solve magic formulas.”
“That’s no problem. Because I checked everything.”
In the game, Frances used black magic. This means that I have a talent for magic, and I can develop the ability to solve magic formulas step by step, so everything will work out.
“But do I really need to teach you? If I go to the Duke, I think I can find another good teacher.”
“There are deep circumstances here. You will know when the time is right.”
“You make people curious.”
With her help, there will be no problem for Francesco to learn her magic, and later he will be able to carry out large-scale projects using Ka-Zar.
‘It’s going according to plan.’
I asked her.
“How much further do I have to go?”
“I will be arriving soon.”
Looking up at the sky, the sun is setting. It’s the right time to start the party.
How long did it take? The sun had completely set and it was a dark night.
“I have arrived.”
It is a different size from the buildings I saw while looking around the county. She was so extravagant that every corner leading to the entrance to her mansion was decorated with statues. The garden was so large that it was comparable to the Duke’s.
“I think I know why people in the county are not living.”
“Isn’t it? Anyway. Go in.”
Kazar showed the pattern and invitation to the knight guarding the entrance of the Count’s family. Then the driver bowed his head and opened the door.
“This is the beginning.”
“Yes.”
I wore a cat mask that covered the top of my face. Whispered to her on her way into her mansion.
“As soon as I enter the party hall, I will move separately. Because I have to meet Count Seirel.”
“Yes. What can I do?”
“Enjoy the party.”
“Yes?”
“Enjoy the party.”
Kazar became dumbfounded. I raised the corners of her mouth at her and gave her a grin, then fiddled with her feather pen.
‘Killing a count is nothing.’
