Episode 206 Festival Night (1)
The day has dawned.
The exam period is all over, and the weekends overlap with holidays, so there is a holiday period that is perfect for resting.
And the students of the academy were using this period as an opportunity to discuss the upcoming festival.
The festival preparation committee decided to set the concept for the festival by class or club, and the same was true for the students of Ryukion, a newspaper club.
Dolores, the student council president and club president, nodded.
“In our club, we share a haunted house and a bar, right?”
Imperial Halloween is around late summer.
It was a good news for the festival because he was even freed from the rigorous test during the Halloween season.
“Now then, let’s decide in advance which ghost each of us will dress up as.”
At Tudor’s words, all of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year members nodded their heads.
at that time. Bianca opened her mouth.
“But ‘that tradition’. Is it still valid this time?”
Everyone’s eyes gathered at Bianca’s words.
There was no one who couldn’t understand her words.
At this academy, men always disguise themselves as women and women as men during festivals.
It is a long-standing tradition that even professors cannot avoid.
Tudor Sancho Piggy, Bianca Sinclair and all the others put the idea together.
“Then the man should dress up as a female ghost and the woman as a male ghost.”
“That’s right. Then you’ll dress up as a ghost and your gender will change.”
“But are there separate female ghosts and male ghosts?”
“Rather than being separate, you just need to change your gender while dressed as a ghost. For example, there are female zombies and male zombies.”
“I can serve drinks or meals in that state!”
“Okay, then let’s draw lots to see which ghost each of us will dress up as.”
“Then, let’s select first-years among first-years, second-years among second-years, and third-years among third-years.”
“Since the number and sex ratio are different for each grade, that would be better.”
Eventually, the members drew lots in the box.
First, Tudor drew lots.
Rummaging –
The pieces of paper in the box rub against the tip of my fingers.
If you draw a strange lot, you may be stuffed with dark history, so you had to choose carefully.
“Come out, please…”
Tudor closed his eyes and prayed, grabbing a piece of paper.
When the crumpled swallow is unfolded, the concept of the ghost written inside is revealed.
< Death Knight >
“Ah, this is enough. Gender doesn’t really matter.”
Anyone, regardless of gender, can dress up as a Death Knight with a black armor and a bloody knife.
Tudor finished his make-up by keeping his blue eyes and blonde hair intact and long hair.
Although he had a good-looking face, the lines were thick, just like when he tried dressing up as a woman before, so the result was that the dressing itself did not suit him very well.
Soon Sancho also cast lots.
< Snow Woman >
It was Sancho who got the concept of a ghost with a cold image like a warrior who grew up stepping on the frozen soil of the north.
“Hmm. This role isn’t very good.”
Unlike roles such as zombies and vampires, Snow Woman is a role that must be dressed as a woman, so it is not very good for men.
When the snow woman makeup was applied to her muscular body, Tudor burst into laughter.
“Isn’t it Snow Woman, not Ice Golem?”
“Chuckling- Let It Go, my friend.”
Seeing Sancho openly failing at dressing up as a woman, everyone laughed happily.
Fortunately, Sancho didn’t mind dressing up as a woman.
In any case, she firmly believes that dressing up as a woman is something that only men can do, so it is a manly behavior.
After that, Piggy also drew lots.
< Fairy >
Piggy has been able to reveal her small and cute appearance to the fullest.
Piggy really looks like a fairy when she puts wings on her back in a light dress.
Then it was Bianca’s turn.
< Frankenstein >
Bianca has stitch marks all over her body and nails in her head.
People’s mustache was a bonus.
Originally, she was tall and had an androgynous charm, so this kind of makeup suited her very well.
“Okay then…”
Sinclair was standing where Bianca turned.
But Sinclair seemed to have something else he wanted to do.
“Hey, I’ve prepared the makeup separately.”
“Yes? What is it?”
Bianca’s eyes widened. I didn’t know that Sinclair would show such enthusiasm for dressing up as Halloween.
Eventually, Sinclair opened the bag and took out the outfit she had brought and put it on.
It was a large spider made by poor tailoring.
It is cute that there is a small crown on top of the head.
“Jam- It’s the Spider Queen. How is it?”
“Ooh. I didn’t know you liked spiders so much. But didn’t you scream the other day when a spider came out of the bathroom?”
“Is that so? I remember well… Anyway, I really like spiders!”
Bianca just tilted her head at Sinclair’s words, which seemed to be making an excuse for some reason.
yet.
Everyone’s eyes moved to one place.
Now it’s one person’s turn to draw lots.
“…”
Bikir with a somewhat tired expression stood up from his seat.
The
moment Bikir’s chair was pushed back, everyone swallowed in gulps of tension.
For some reason, it was a matter of considerable interest to the entire academy for what Bikir would choose.
It was to the extent that there were already reporters from the Fever Army Club holding a camera to take a picture of the mana screen.
Tudor and Sancho Piggy muttered with envious eyes.
“I heard that freshmen from 1st grade to seniors from 4th grade lined up to participate in dressing up Bikir?”
“I heard that the make-up artists in the imperial palace also officially submitted applications to the academy?”
“Looks like magazines that are said to be the king of the empire are buying Bikir’s crossdressing photos for a hefty price.”
Of course, these external approaches were all rejected in the academy’s student protection dimension.
This is because Professor Morgue Banshee was annoyed and rejected all applications and interview requests.
yet. The lot drawn by Bikir was revealed.
< Witch >
A ghost with a perfect female concept. It is a role that requires delicate and high-quality women’s clothing like Snow Woman.
If a fair number of male students had drawn such a lot, there would have been bursts of laughter among the audience at once.
Just like Sancho did before.
but.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Nobody laughed at Vikir’s role.
No, rather, a strange feeling of unidentified anticipation hovered among the audience.
Soon, the witch’s outfit was put out in front of Bikir.
A black hat, a black cloak, an old broom and long black fake nails.
The witch look that seemed to cast forbidden black magic at any moment was completed.
However, the quality of the witch’s outfit was no longer a subject of interest.
The expressions of the female students in charge of Bikir’s face makeup were relaxed.
“It’s really not worth seeing alone.”
“…He’s a real man, right?”
“If I put this mana screen on, tomorrow’s newspaper views will be great, right?”
Amid everyone’s buzz, Bikir slightly frowned.
Fair skin, sharp nose, lips as red as blood, eyelashes long enough for eyes to pile up.
With makeup on, Bikir looks as pretty as an out-of-this-world face.
To the extent that the male students who were watching were confused about their gender identity.
This was a natural result, as the native tribes of Hagiya Suhae started a war of aggression after learning about Bikir’s appearance.
…… However, Bikir himself was awkward with these reactions around him.
‘It’s something I’ve never experienced in my previous life.’
Before returning, Bikir was more used to the contemptuous gaze.
He was much shorter than he is today, had thin bones, and was lame from a childhood injury.
In addition, the face was muddled with knife marks and burn marks obtained during various missions.
So, not only women of her age, but also young and old women often cried or ran away when they saw Bikir’s face.
Of course, the young and pretty ladies of the academy didn’t even deal with Bikir.
He gave them contemptuous glances or even spat. It was to the point of throwing away things that happened to be touched by Bikir.
He even avoided being in the same space, saying he didn’t want to share the air.
Of course, as a hunting dog, Bikir was trained to completely exclude emotions, so he wasn’t hurt by that.
however.
In this life, I grew taller because I ate well, and I don’t have a scar on my face.
The result of this was quite different from what was expected, and it was not easy for Bikir to adjust.
“……Um.”
When Bikir frowned once, a commotion erupted everywhere.
“Bikir! Why! What’s wrong! Just talk!”
“Thirsty? Hungry? Frustrated? Is there something that makes you uncomfortable? Can I get you some drinks?”
“Are the clothes too tight? Should I loosen the corset a little on the back? Do the high heels fit well? Do your toes hurt?”
“Are your eyelashes too heavy? Oh, are these your original eyelashes? Then, is it stuffy because you put on too much makeup? Oh, you put on light makeup and your skin doesn’t have any blemishes? Uh…” “The window is too sunny
. It’s strong, right? I’ll block it with my back!”
“By the way, do you have an older sister? Maybe you look like you? If so, can I call you brother-in-law?”
“This is a major incident. Guys, block everything from behind! If this face leaks out, it’s at least a stampede!”
“But are you a witch? Are you not an angel? If you look at your face, you’re an angel?”
“Oh Rune… This is the face I’ll be uploading tonight at the confessional… Please forgive this obscene lamb…”
Right then.
“omg!?”
From the other side of the club room, an alarmed whistle of wind was heard.
Everyone who had been concentrating on Bikir’s face turned to see a third year student holding a lottery box with a white face.
Standing there is Dolores, who has just cast lots.
“…”
She looked at the swallow in her hand with a thoughtful expression.
The role Dolores should dress up for this festival.
Inside the swallow was written the following words:
< Night Hound >
