I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

15 – Rookie Gladiator-1

The work proceeded more neatly than expected.

According to my plan, Logan was kicked out of Selam. He never saw his face again, but he probably was venting his anger and curses at me.

“I, really… Are you going to do it?”

At the entrance of Selam, no, at the exit for me, Adrian spoke to me in a worried voice.

“Of course. I made a fuss about that one thing.”

“I’m sorry. That… Because of me, you…”

“I told you.

At first, I was at a loss as to how to get to the Colosseum. I didn’t know the road, and the distance seemed not small.

Come out of here, will I be able to properly function as a human being, or will I run away just because it is difficult? Until the moment I left, a string of doubts and anxiety remained in my head.

But at this moment, outside of Selam, the sky looked beautiful. The air is refreshing. It seems that this world is blessing me.

“Let’s see…”

The problem of not knowing the way was unexpectedly solved in a simple way. Of course, you need to have a map.

It was a much clumsy guide than the map that searched the real-time location on a mobile phone on Earth, but this was enough for me.

“Huh, you can’t go through rough things. If you’re having a hard time even a little bit, be sure to tell me. Don’t get hurt…”

“Hey, are you my mother?”

“…Sorry.”

Right after he said it, I wondered, ‘Maybe the mother-son relationship was different from what I knew,’ but fortunately, it didn’t seem like that.

“Then, let’s start slowly. But, Adrian. Thank you very much.”

I hadn’t had a few conversations with ‘ordinary men’ in Selam, but if I had learned the common sense of this world from them, it might not have ended like this.

“Yeah…”

“I’ll make good use of the bag you gave me. Anyway, goodbye!”

“Bye bye, Evan! I’ll remember!”

After saying my final goodbyes, I went down the tall stairs in Selam.

Every step is refreshing and light. In my heart, I want to jump over and over the stairs two or three at a time.

There was no wagon. Since it was about being kicked out of Selam, there was no way an escort or wagon was prepared.

Just like when I first fell into this world, I was finally able to be left alone.

Then, I go to meet the person I want. That alone brought a smile to his lips.

The sky was so clear and beautiful.

“That, that. Isn’t that a man?”

“That can’t be the case… There’s no way a man could walk alone on the street at a time like this.”

“But the clothes look like something I saw in Selam…”

I wanted not to draw attention, but I couldn’t help but draw attention.

However, most couldn’t believe that a man was out there alone.

Some other people hurriedly lowered their eyes, while others stared blankly at me with their hands free of work.

I raised my head and was walking towards the Coliseum in the distance.

“Wow, you mean this close?”

Of course, just because you can see that doesn’t mean you’re almost there.

There were many tall and elongated buildings in the city, but few buildings comparable in size to the Colosseum.

In the future, you will have to walk another hour or so.

“I thought the carriage was… Slow.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t think that even if I walked, it would be faster than this, but I didn’t know it would really be at that level.

No matter how far it was, it seemed like I could reach the Colosseum by walking for about an hour.

Since there was no proper clock, it was not possible to make a quantified comparison, but it did not seem that the time taken for moving in a carriage and the time for walking were significantly different.

I walked toward the Colosseum with a smile on my lips.

Daisy, if I have to classify him, was the kind of person who pushes himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.

Because when she took over, it was Daisy who transformed the slowly dying Colosseum into a city landmark.

But even she needed a break. The little tea time she enjoyed in the late afternoon was an irreplaceable precious time for her.

Shouting, busily moving, doing the job with all your might.

For her, who strictly manages her mealtime and even her sleeping time, this time was one of the few times that she could ‘lean around’ as a gift to herself.

“It’s a big deal!”

However, that time was broken. Daisy looked at the employee who interrupted her tea time with a displeased expression.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come in unless it’s something to do? What’s the matter?”

“I, the man, Evan-sama, suddenly…”

“What?”

She was the one who unreservedly took her anger out on her staff for interrupting her tea time if it was for clumsy reasons, but this was a different story.

“Why! Why the hell! Selam didn’t even tell me!”

On the last visit, a letter from Selam arrived two days before he left. There was time to prepare, time to prepare.

“That, we haven’t figured out the situation yet!”

“When did you come!”

“It’s ten minutes ago!”

“Are you crazy?”

Daisy’s head became dizzy. Whatever the reason or situation, if a man visits this place, he should not be left unattended even for a minute or a second.

According to common sense, a gladiator is not a job that requires much education. The same was true of the Colosseum staff who had a side-by-side with them every day.

Among them, Daisy was the only one who could have a conversation with a man without causing trouble.

“Why did I find out about this now?”

It was a waste of time to speak. Daisy ran away like a flash, leaving her fragrant tea in the smoke.

“He, of course, came in when the guards were changing… And he also said that he didn’t need to call Daisy.”

“What, what?”

For whatever reason, it was not a pleasant thing to buy a man’s distrust.

Considering his disposition, he wouldn’t be rude or framed for something he didn’t like, but that’s not a good sign.

“Why do you come, at times like this…”

At this time, the sword fight has just ended. They said there was a gladiator dinner today, so it wouldn’t be strange if no one was walking around the lobby.

Daisy, who rushed forward, could see Evan, who was quietly listening to the explanation for the table.

“Sir, excuse me!”

Daisy almost slipped onto his knees and bowed his head.

I felt the pain of rubbing my flesh, but now that wasn’t the important thing.

“Sorry for realizing it so late! From now on, I will serve you as warmly as possible, so please forgive my rudeness!”

He received her words in a natural and gentle voice.

“No, why are you in such a hurry… Why are you here? Mr. Daisy even said that it was break time so there was no need to call.”

Daisy breathed a sigh of relief. It’s not that she didn’t hate her, it was that she was considerate of her personal time.

It wasn’t something to think about. In the end, Evan was a man, and the things he had to treat with respect didn’t change.

“First of all… Is there a place where we can have a quiet conversation? Dana’s work as well… Well, I have something to discuss.”

Daisy felt a chill run down her spine.

She was the one who told Dana to turn him down. However, as she looked more closely at the distinguished guests visiting the Colosseum, it was a serious disrespect for a man.

‘Ji, I really didn’t know…’

From the moment she touched the Colosseum, she thought she would never have a relationship with a man. That was a reasonable and efficient hypothesis, and most of it worked.

She just needs to remember that when she sees a guy she sometimes runs into, she gets on his knees in the utmost respect and avoids eye contact.

Once she remembered that, she had never needed any more information about men in her life.

That was until a kind man with a peculiar taste appeared who rushed after seeing a gladiator.

As she escorted Evan into her drawing room, Daisy felt the horror of being dragged into her slaughterhouse.

‘I came to be angry, I came to be angry, I came to be angry…’

There was still tea in her drawing room. If he had waited here for 10 minutes and noticed that Daisy was enjoying tea time leisurely.

If there were two tea cups, or a full cup without a single sip, there might be an excuse.

“Ah, you were enjoying your tea time. I’m sorry I interrupted you.”

Daisy had also heard the story that a man turns the blame for the sake of dignity.

Perhaps the meaning of this word is, ‘I was struggling underneath, but you were leisurely enjoying yourself?’ Would have the same meaning.

“Sorry! I’ll serve the car right away!”

“Really? I didn’t have to do that… Thank you. I’ll be grateful.”

For Daisy, the boiling time for the tea felt too long.

Having barely received the cup, he took a sip and smiled ecstatically. Daisy, barely breathing, spoke to him cautiously.

“Can I ask why…

“…First, would you please raise your head? Since I’m in the position I’m asking for, I’m a bit sorry if you’re with that… Attitude.”

Daisy carefully raised her head.

Evan took a deep breath and bowed her head deeply as if she had made up her mind.

“Take me as a gladiator!”

Daisy’s mind was confused by words she had never imagined.
