Part 4

“This is the last one.”

“Good work, Ash.”

Ash set down the third magic incense burner at the marked location on the ground. After touching the built-in Bright Dragon Crystal, the Dragon Magic activated. Aside from emitting a light, no particular change could be detected in the Bright Dragon Crystal, but with this, they wouldn't need to worry about dangerous beasts appearing in the vicinity of the route. The burner would generate a scent that was almost impossible to detect for humans, and only dangerous beasts would be able to perceive the unpleasant odour.

“Since it’s been such hard work, do you want to relax a bit?”

While saying that, Rebecca's fiery red hair floated in the wind. Through the lush forestry, it was possible to catch a faint glimpse of Rubina Lake. The sun shone on the surface of the lake, forming a glimmering reflection, which was like an enormous mirror.

“That would be nice, given that we haven’t had a rest for so long.”

Ash said so without a second thought, but the view of the autumn shoreline was beautifully picturesque, and if he rested with just him and Rebecca at such a place, it would feel as if they were on a date. Date — the instant that he realised this word, a wave of embarrassment, shyness, nervousness and other emotions flooded his mind like an avalanche, causing Ash to immediately panic.

“—W-Wah!”

In that instant, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the forest, and an object like a piece of white cloth just so happened to cover Ash’s face. It felt somewhat warm, and it had a soft texture. An odour like that of sweet perfume entered his nostrils.

“I-I can’t see in front!”

Ash hurriedly grabbed the piece of cloth from his face. And then he was astonished for a moment.

“Uwah! How did this kind of thing appear here…!”

Ash’s entire face blushed red. No matter how he looked at them, it was a pair of ladies’ underwear, and based on the quality of the silk, it was probably a fairly expensive item. It was probably the personal underwear of some aristocratic lady, right?

…Thought Ash. The point was, why did this kind of thing get blown over here by the wind?

“Don’t say anything, Ash.”

Rebecca suddenly used a low voice which carried a sense of tension to warn Ash. She slowly crept closer to the lakeside. Ash also followed Rebecca's movements, while tightly holding onto the lukewarm underwear in his hand. Rebecca paused at the junction between the forest and the lakeside, hid her body behind a bush, and then carefully observed the situation near the lake. Ash also followed Rebecca's gaze as he looked out. He could see a graceful figure bathing in the shallow area of the water.

—Taking a bath in a place like this? This person is too lacking in wariness…

The person bathing in the lake had dark black hair which stretched down their back, and their lower body was soaked within the lake. Because their back was facing Ash, he was unable to recognise them, but their slim figure and certain elegance gave Ash a familiar feeling. Their drooping shoulder line was gentle like a work of art.

“…Hmm?”

Ash inadvertently discovered—

That there was a ferocious looking Maestro that was leisurely lying on the grass next to the lakeside having a nap. Its enormous body was in no way inferior to that of Cú Chulainn's. After seeing the black crystal embedded on its forehead, Ash was shocked to realise that that Maestro was actually Tristan.

“No, hold on…if Tristan is in a place like this, then that means…”

Ash was momentarily stunned. Indeed, the person who was bathing in the lake rather happily was Oscar Brailsford.

—So…too beautiful…

When he found himself inadvertently thinking about such things, Ash was greatly surprised.

—Hold on hold on, that guy is a male! Why the hell am I so fascinated by a man…

Just when an internal conflict broke out within Ash’s mind, Oscar turned around, showing his side profile.

“Eh…”

In that instant, Ash was struck by immense shock, as if the centre of his chest had been hollowed out. Upon Oscar’s chest stood a pair of double peaks that a man could not possibly have. Every single movement she made caused her breasts to sway; it was a highly stimulating sight. Her enormous breasts were like an abundantly growing fruit. What was more surprising was that she had a method of disguising her voluptuously huge breasts considerably well. Her cherry-coloured tips perked slightly upwards. Oscar’s breasts were not only very large, but their shape was also very beautiful and attractive.

“W-W-What’s going on here, Rebecca-san!? If you look closely, that guy Oscar is totally a woman!”

“Haah…it looks like I can’t cover it up any more, a student aside from me has found out about it.”

Rebecca made a long sigh.

“So you mean to say that you already knew about this, Rebecca-san?”

“Based on her body shape and behaviour, I could vaguely detect an air of femininity. Even if she was able to fool the eyes of ordinary teachers and students, she wasn't able to escape my discernment.”

“So Oscar also knew that Rebecca-san had seen through her as well…?”

“That’s the reason why Oscar was forced to take the position of Vice-President, because the secret of her gender was uncovered by me. And the reason why she acted unpleasantly to me before, and insisted on me marrying her was probably because she wanted to contain an insider like me, it definitely wasn't because she fell in love with me.”

As if recalling the past, the expression in Rebecca's eyes seemed to become emotional.

“But why is Oscar a girl pretending to be male…?”

Although I haven’t heard it directly from her myself, the reason isn't difficult to imagine. To this day, the Chevron Kingdom still has not given women the right to inherit the throne. In other words, unless Oscar abandons her identity as a woman, she can never become King—”

“Who’s there!?”

At that moment, Oscar suddenly threw a dagger which had been concealed along the lakeside somewhere in advance. A flash of silver light darted over Ash’s and Rebecca's heads.

—Shack!

The sharp blade embedded itself deeply into the tree behind the two of them. Ash felt goosebumps all over his body, and he froze his body in shock. Her technique was staggering. If one hadn't diligently practiced day after day, it probably wasn't possible to obtain such an accurate throwing technique.

“Well, since she’s discovered us, I guess we can only come out and show ourselves.”

Rebecca didn't seem to feel guilty about anything at all, and she calmly stood up.

“Hmph…so it was Rebecca. If it’s just you then that’s fine…”

Oscar showed an expression of relief, but immediately after seeing Ash slowly stand up from the bushes, she was so flustered that she almost lost her sense of balance.

Part 5

“Uwaaahh! How can this be!”

While wearing only a towel around her body, Oscar wailed out. Although all of her important places were covered up, her slender arms were still highly sexy and seductive, which caused Ash to be at a loss as to where to look. Ever since the identity of Oscar’s gender was exposed, Ash felt drawn to the enchanting charm of every one of her actions. Ash was actually surprised that he was unable to notice it before. Even the sound of her voice now sounded a lot sharper than it was before.

“Damn it, I didn't expect that in addition to Rebecca, even Ash Blake now knows my true gender…how could I be so careless!?”

“If you’re going to blame someone, shouldn't you blame yourself for coming to a place like this to bathe?”

“I don’t have a choice! You can’t expect me to take a shower in the public bath in the boys’ dormitory!”

What she said was certainly correct, and Ash could understand her difficulties.

“So that’s why you normally take a bath here?”

“…Yes, exactly.”

“But since it’s such a delicate secret, you should be more careful, and at least order that eye patch maid to be your lookout, right? Speaking of which, where is that maid?”

“Celes went to buy ingredients for cooking…”

“You don’t seem think things through enough.”

“Eh, shut up shut up! Since you know my secret now, I’ll just have to kill to shut you up! Otherwise…”

Oscar’s eyes pierced through him, as they fixated on Ash.

“Be my bride!”

“What? You want me to be the bride? How is that possible!?”

Using some sort of strange logic, the only conclusion was to ‘marry her’? It was completely baffling. Without showing any mercy, Oscar suddenly pushed down the confused Ash.

“Kuh! What do you want!?”

Ash tried to struggle free, but Oscar’s arm strength was surprisingly strong. It was truly unbelievable that a girl’s slender arms could actually exert so much force. The current situation was almost like a strong female leopard had suddenly thrust him down. Moreover, it was possible to see the deep cleavage of her chest from that position. Her voluptuous breasts seemed as if they were ready to spill out of her towel at any moment.

“You don’t need to worry, you’ll be fine as long as you cross-dress as a girl. I promise to give you the position of second queen!”

“Stop dreaming, how could I possibly cross-dress as a woman!? And if I’m the second, then who’s the first?”

“Of course it’s Rebecca!”

“Since when did you decide that!?”

“Ah, that really is a great idea! If a male dressed as a female and a female dressed as a male get married, they’ll be able to have children normally. Like this, the problem of continuing the family line with an heir will be solved! Speaking of which, Rebecca may be outstanding, but two women can’t have children!”

“What kind of sophistry is that!?”

“Don’t worry. Even if the roles of man and woman are reversed, it’ll be fine as long as they can make the combination!”

“What is this combination!?”

“Hey…are you really trying to make me say that out loud? You pervert!”

Ash was rebuked by Oscar in return.

“Seriously, this is the so-called ‘Avalon Knight’? An indecisive man…since you’re so unwilling to cooperate, you have the freedom to choose right here whether or not you die. Stabbed to death, beaten to death, strangled to death, or being eaten by Tristan — say it, how do you want to die?”

“Of course I don’t want any of those, do you even have to ask? And who are you trying to scare with the last option!?”

“If you don’t want to die then marry me!”

“I don’t want to marry you either! Besides, Eco and I are like a single being! As long as you want Eco, you can’t take my life!”

“Hmm. As you just said, that is indeed correct. How about this then, you and I will enter a contract.”

“Contract? What are you saying…”

“Didn't you understand what I said? There’s only one type of contract between man and woman — combine with me right now.”

“Are you crazy!?”

“Y-You can have my ‘first time’! Surely there’s no disadvantage in it for you, is there?”

Oscar blushed slightly, and she suddenly averted her eyes. For some reason, Ash suddenly felt that Oscar was rather cute, and he couldn't stop his heart rate from rising. Faced with the sudden and absurd request, Ash was barely able to maintain his reason.

“Wait a minute! Rebecca-san is right next to us and watching!”

“No, it doesn't matter, it feels quite interesting anyway, so you two don’t need to pay any attention to me.”

Rebecca revealed a cheeky and playful smile, as she replied casually.

“Wait! Why are even you following along!?”

“Hey, the person you’re combining with is me, you’re not allowed to be distracted by other women! Come on, prepare yourself mentally!”

Oscar placed her hand on top of Ash’s belt. She seemed like she really was going to take Ash’s pants off.

“I’m telling you to stop it!”

Oscar was trying to take Ash’s pants off—

Ash was desperately doing all that he could to resist—

Just when the two of them were in a stalemate, the towel that was wrapped around Oscar’s naked body lightly floated down. While straddled on top of Ash, Oscar’s naked body was laid bare like a stone statue.

“Kyaaaaaaaaahhh!”

A piercing shriek rang out across the lake.

“D-Don’t look!”

The previously bold Oscar acted almost like a completely different person, she shyly crossed both of her arms over her chest to cover the important parts.

Perhaps taking the initiative to attack a man, and having a man see her naked body unilaterally, was in a sense, two different things?

Although such thoughts momentarily burst into Ash’s mind, his mind was currently blank, as a result of seeing Oscar’s naked body in front of his eyes.

A few minutes later. After Oscar neatly put on her uniform, and tied her hair to the back, she returned to being the usual dashing noble. However, after finding out that she was actually a girl, it was no longer possible to see her as a man. Ash actually began to doubt himself on how he was unable to see any of that from her. In addition, he clearly saw Oscar’s naked body. As soon as he recalled that scene in his mind, he found it difficult not to have a nosebleed.

“By the way, Ash Blake.”

Oscar spoke to Ash with an uneasy expression on her face.

“What is it…?”

A sense of caution was raised within Ash, and he put himself on alert.

“When I was putting on my clothes before…umm, I couldn't find my underwear no matter where I looked. With no other choice, I simply put on my pants without them.”

“So what? It’s most likely been blown away by the wind…”

Ash answered rather indifferently, but after learning the fact that ‘Oscar is currently not wearing any underwear’, his sanity was shaken.

“Excuse me for asking, but what is that thing sticking out from your pocket?”

“Eh?”

Ash hurriedly checked the pocket of his coat. There was a bit of white cloth protruding from his pocket.

“This is…!”

Ash finally remembered. After setting the last magic incense burner in the forest before, a pair of underwear was blowing in the wind. Afterwards, when he hid behind the bush with Rebecca, he thoughtlessly stuffed the underwear into his pocket as if it were his handkerchief. Oscar’s face went red as she retrieved her underwear from Ash’s pocket.

“Listen up, Ash Blake! I swear! I will definitely take you as my bride!”

She then jumped onto Tristan’s head, and flew away hurriedly.

“A Beauty in Male Attire ~A.S.B.1365.10~” is closed.
