NOVEL NEXT chapter 50
50 – Pet saintess and the unsmiling hero (4)
—–
I thought I had already accepted my destiny.
To defeat the demon lord no matter what happens,
I was prepared to sacrifice at least one part of my body for my precious childhood friend.
In order to fulfill the dream of adventure that we talked about while sitting by the moonlit lake with her.
To show her another side of this world.
To let them know that there are not only painful things in this world.
Some may laugh at it, but
For me, it was a dream worth sacrificing my life for.
… However, the change that happened to me was a completely different matter from hardship and pain.
These days, I keep thinking about the person I thought was a good friend, so I can’t sleep,
I can’t support that person’s romance at all.
Like going to that person’s room.
When I see that person’s thoughtless face, I get angry for no reason.
If a hero carrying a huge mission for humanity is thinking about something like this,
You will become the laughing stock of the world.
I don’t think it should be like this either.
So, I figured that if I regrouped, meditated, and focused on my training every day, I would be able to get back on track.
… is it so.
In the end, everything was accepted.
I think you’ve accepted it.
The fact that I am a woman and a warrior.
I think the time has passed to be acceptable enough now.
“Hey Lindsay. Isn’t this ruffled dress beautiful too?”
By the way, Miss Elysia is recommending new clothes to me.
“Uh, uh… however… Yes.”
This is a pale pink dress with beautiful horizontal pleats.
The princess thinks that this kind of clothes suits me.
… So, I am a woman now.
Even skirts should be worn comfortably like other women.
why is it so difficult
I’ve never done it before, so maybe it’s difficult because it’s my first time.
All you have to do is close your eyes and wear it.
“… By the way, porter, how about these clothes?”
I heard the voice of the saintess from the other side.
I feel so sorry for myself that I do not miss this sound, no matter how small, in this crowded place.
But is the saintess going to wear that kind of clothes?
It’s black, but it’s all transparent, and the chest seems to be dug too deep…
Still, I seem to be full of things I don’t know about ‘women’…
In addition, my friend, savagely, doesn’t even realize that her mouth is open, and is focusing her eyes only on the saintess.
But why am I angry?
“Is it Lindsay?”
Even if Eleasia-sama is puzzled, I forget the answer and my gaze is fixed on that side only.
“When it’s just the two of us… Let me wear it ♪”
And again, I’ve heard of it.

Moreover, Caiman and I met eyes.
… Seeing that Caiman clears his throat and turns his head, he seems to have read my expression.
Why can’t I manage my facial expression?
Since getting a new body, everything is in doubt.
The dress that Alice chose for me is floating in front of my eyes.
“… I’m sorry, Lindsay… ”
“actually… From long ago, I gave you clothes like this… I wanted to wear it.”
… Mmm,
To be honest, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know.
Even when I was in my hometown, there was a time when I secretly invited you to try on your own clothes.
In addition to being embarrassed, I was even more embarrassed because it was Alice’s clothes, so of course I refused.
Alice, without saying anything, seems to be even more pleased that I am of the same s*x as her.
It’s good that I’ve grown closer to Alice, too…
Did this really happen?
Other people seem to want me to wear something like this.
In addition, I am concerned about the clothes the saintess is wearing right now.
You said you only wear it when you’re alone with Caiman.
It definitely looks like high-quality clothing.
Whatever the saintess wears, it has nothing to do with me.
Caiman likes it, so you’re trying to dress like that, right?
… Caiman feels outrageous.
I don’t know why.
… Me too, if I wear clothes like this, but more…
Thinking that someone else might like it,
Is it because I have changed?
***
This is different from the shirt and pants you’ve seen all along.
that’s it again,
Since Lindsay’s original version is so fraudulent, it can be said that it is not bad,
Although I think it can satisfy certain tastes.
There are other clothes that a pretty girl should wear than a matching top and bottom beige shirt and pants.
And that’s it.
neat.
Originally, among the party members, the one who could be said to be the closest to neatness was,
Unsurprisingly, it could have been Lindsay.
Even before the gender change, if it was Lindsay who sometimes gave people around her a clean and considerate personality,
Now that she has crossed the gender barrier…
It could be seen that he had overcome the limitations that stood in his way with the pole vault.
It was her clothes that had been hiding the woman who had surpassed her limits until now.
If it was the shirt and pants of the stall that were purchased through a bundle sale because they were needed for training,
Now even that bondage has been released.
The angel lost its wings and ring and fell to the ground.
Noble, noble, shy, pitiful like a beautiful flower.
“… caiman?”
Oh, come to think of it, Lindsay asked me how I was.
why did you ask me
Are you just a close friend?
or not…
Suddenly, I remembered what happened when Lindsay came to my room.
”… hmm… That’s so pretty… ”
All sorts of thoughts flooded my head, and I could only say the usual words.
By the way, did Lindsay want to hear these words?
I’m not sure either. Complex twists and turns aren’t my specialty, so I just said it honestly.
“… eww… ”
Lindsay lowered her head without showing me a reaction.
can’t read the expression
“Ni-im the porter?”
Next to me, the saintess smiles like ice.
Look at me, what are you saying?
***
Because Lindsay eventually rejected all other clothes,
I stopped buying anything other than the clothes Alice recommended to her earlier.
Although the princess felt sorry for it (feeling like Alice), it seems that she eventually decided to commit to a later date.
I feel like I was satisfied with letting Lindsay take the first step.
Other than that, it was to the extent that the saintess bought her own clothes or bought my clothes.
As I was leaving the store door, the saintess whispered softly in my ear.
“… Be ready tonight.”
“… yes?”
What are you prepared for?
I can’t understand. I do not know.
I’m a good kid, so I’m going to sleep with the door locked today.
I’ll have to block it with a chair.
“… Don’t be foolish, porter-sama♪”
A saintess with her eyes wide open and a bad-tempered smile.
”… privacy of others.”
“What is privacy?”
I don’t know if the concept of privacy exists in this world,
It doesn’t seem easy to resist a saintess who can read thoughts.
“It’s not that there isn’t a reason why I came here to look at clothes today.
It’s because I don’t have much time left to go see my father.”
The princess tossed words as if she was walking down the street.
“… yes?”
… However, it was something that could not be easily overlooked.
The princess’s father is the emperor.
Even those who can’t read are the only rulers who can memorize his name and rule the brilliant empire.
In other words, there aren’t many days left to go see His Highness the Emperor.
Of course, I’ve never seen it.
I think I’ve probably seen (former) Caiman.
I don’t know a single thing about etiquette, but it happened.
“Since Lindsay has to wear a dress when she has an audience with her father,
I thought it would be better to get used to these clothes beforehand.”
“Yeah, that’s right… By the way, will it be okay… ? Suddenly, I became a woman… ”
Lindsay looks quite perplexed.
… Certainly, the last time I saw him was a man, but this time a woman,
There is no way you can comprehend it with common sense.
Could something troubling happen? Lindsay seems to be worried about the future.
And I also thought it was a reasonable concern.
“Just trust me. Lindsay.”
The princess grinned while revealing her white teeth.
***
We boarded a carriage to the capital.
It will be a long journey that will take 3 days just by moving,
Looking at the luxurious chariot pulled by white horses, which seemed to have been sent directly by the emperor, one could only admire.
“… Can I be treated so well?”
I asked the question as I climbed into the carriage.
Even though it’s quite high, you can’t feel the shaking of the ground or even the noise.
Looking at the magic patterns engraved all over the inside, it must be a wagon with enchantments hanging on it.
As if the horses are overflowing with power, the scenery of the street passes by quickly.
“Enjoy it while you can. You never know what the journey will be like.”
The princess is in the mode of looking into the distance, as if she is already enjoying the scenery outside.
Seeing how they seem accustomed to such luxury, it feels like they were born differently.
Pelicana is also dozing off in the wagon that sways pleasantly.
Like the saintess, she is dozing on my shoulder.
I suddenly met eyes with Lindsay, who was sitting across from me,
Lindsay turned her head outside the window without saying anything.
