After having a full meal and receiving tea and snacks from Miss Maid, I started to feel sleepy. I thought I had gotten plenty of rest, but it seems I’m still tired.
ㅤ
“Miss Norchev, I’d like you to rest early today. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be undergoing special training to act as a young lady from another country.”
“Understood.”
“You’ll have your makeup done by Chris, but essentially, you’ll be dressing yourself. Normally, you’d have several maids, but unfortunately, there’s no one we can trust to that extent. I apologize.”
“I should be the one thanking you, considering I get to stay in such a wonderful place. I’m also glad that I can go to school, as I couldn’t before.”
ㅤ
Roa-sama looked apologetic.
I thought my words weren’t getting through, but then everything changed with what was said next.
ㅤ
“I really am sorry for inconveniencing Miss Norchev, who is not comfortable around men, but I can’t hide this any longer.
ㅤ
. . .Chris is a man.”
ㅤ
“. . .Chris is a man?”
ㅤ
I’m pretty sure Miss Maid was called Chris.
ㅤ
The Miss Maid standing behind the sofa is a bit taller than the average woman, about 165 centimeters, but undoubtedly a beautiful young girl.
Her eyes are large, her eyelashes long enough to stir the wind, her nose straight and well-defined, and her lips are small, red, and plump.
She wears a classic maid outfit that reveals her ankles and suits her well. The black shirt with ample frills running vertically conceals her chest area, making it hard to tell if she has breasts.
The white apron, also with many frills, suits her without looking tacky.
ㅤ
“I apologize for the delayed introduction. Please call me Chris.”
“I’m the one who should apologize for not introducing myself sooner. I am Alice Norchev. Nice to meet you.”
ㅤ
As I bowed, my eyes fell right on Chris’s skirt.
. . .I couldn’t help but stare at his crotch.
ㅤ
“. . .Um, are you a eunuch?”
“No, it’s there.”
“It’s there?”
“Yes.”
ㅤ
Even though he’s so cute, it’s there. . .
ㅤ
Roa-sama coughed conspicuously.
ㅤ
“Up to now, Chris has been fulfilling three roles: as a foreign young lady, as her maid, and as a butler.”
“A foreign young lady. . . like the role I’m going to play? If so, wouldn’t it be better for Chris-sama to continue doing it?”
“That was the original plan. However, now that Miss Norchev is here, it has changed. Chris wears makeup when acting as the maid and is natural-faced as the butler. When playing the young lady, he uses a magical tool to transform. The most frequent interaction people have with him is as the maid. If Miss Norchev takes on that role, people are more likely to notice the difference. Therefore, it’s less conspicuous if you act as the young lady, using the magical tool to look the same.”
ㅤ
Realizing what was said, it becomes clear that the only role I can play is that of a foreign young lady. I can’t make my face as cute as this with makeup; I would need plastic surgery.
Despite our small numbers, I can’t just stay cooped up in my room. I want to do something to help everyone return to the Fourth Knight Order.
ㅤ
“Understood. May I ask you a question, Chris-sama? If you don’t want to answer because it’s a sensitive topic, you don’t have to.”
Chris didn’t move, as if contemplating whether to respond in a hidden corner somewhere.
“Go ahead and ask your question here. There’s nothing you could ask that would make me uncomfortable. Also, please just call me Chris. It would be awkward to be called ‘Chris-sama’ outside this room.”
“Alright, I’ll call you Chris. Chris, may I ask you a question?
1. Physically male, but identify as female
2. Physically and mentally male, but enjoy wearing women’s clothes and makeup
3. Physically and mentally male, no interest in crossdressing, but wear a maid uniform for work
Which one are you? If you are the first, I will treat you as a female. If you are the second or third and I have offended you by calling you cute, I would like to apologize.”
ㅤ
Chris stared at me for a while without moving.
ㅤ
“. . .It’s the third one. I have a feminine face and can raise my voice, so I was given this role. My romantic interests are also of the opposite sex.”
ㅤ
Chris’s voice is low.
Even though it’s low, it’s only in comparison to how he’s sounded before. It’s androgynous, but if you close your eyes and listen, you would think it’s unmistakably male.
ㅤ
“I haven’t felt uncomfortable. Please treat me as a woman when I am wearing the maid uniform. Otherwise, someone may notice the truth. So, there’s no need for an apology. If you thought of me as a woman, that’s a compliment to me.”
“. . .I apologize for asking too much.”
ㅤ
I’ll keep it to myself that for a moment I suspected Roa-sama might have those kinds of preferences.
ㅤ
“You’ve only confirmed what you needed to know beforehand. From now on, I will be in my maid uniform when instructing or giving massages. I am still male, and if you’re uncomfortable with the opposite sex, it might be difficult for you. . .”
ㅤ
“The Chris in that form is a splendid woman. I’ve always thought so and that won’t change.”
ㅤ
It’s hard to immediately perceive him as a male when he’s so cute. It’s better for both of us to interact as if he’s female.
For the first time, Chris showed a slight smile.
ㅤ
“. . .Starting tomorrow, I’ll instruct you intensively. Please go to sleep early.”
ㅤ
Sensing an atmosphere that they want to discuss something without me, I stand up.
ㅤ
“Then, I’ll take your advice and go to sleep first. Good night, everyone.”
ㅤ
After bowing to everyone who said goodnight, I entered my private room. As instructed, I left the door unlocked and only closed it.
Though it’s early, I changed into my pajamas and lay in bed.
ㅤ
“. . .I’m lucky.”
ㅤ
It was a night when I inadvertently muttered to myself.
