    Episode 401: Special 2: That Can’t Be Real.. Wouldn’t The Empire Be Screwed If That Was The Case?

    Year of the Empire xxx.

    Recently, a terrifying rumor had been spreading throughout the empire.

    “Have you heard that news too?”

    “I’ve long heard the news that His Majesty the Emperor is not a man but a woman.”

    “No, no, not that one.”

    The man, famous as a gossip, cast a soundproofing spell fearing someone might overhear. Idiot, if it’s such an important matter, why talk about it in such a crowded tavern?

    “I can clearly see what you’re thinking. Surely, you’re wondering why such an important story is being told in a crowded tavern like this?”

    “…Yes.“

    “But there’s also this saying: To hide a tree, hide it in the forest. To hide a person, hide them in the capital. So, to fulfill a gossip’s destiny, a tavern full of stories like this is perfect.”

    “So, what is the rumor that even required a soundproofing spell?”

    gulp

    Contrary to his usual demeanor, the gossip wore a face filled with great fear.

    He was also a commoner who valued his life.

    But one born with the fate of a gossip must spread trivial issues periodically.

    “His Majesty the Emperor… no, a girl who looks very much like His Majesty the Emperor.”

    “There’s a rumor that she wanders naked through the back alleys of the capital.”

    “…“

    “Moreover, like a female dog, she suddenly peed and then grinned widely at a man she encountered.”

    “…I’m hearing all sorts of ridiculous rumors. I’ll be getting up now.“

    The wanderer wearing a straw hat abruptly stood up.

    Why on earth would the most powerful emperor on the continent go for a naked stroll?

    It was nonsense.

    “Indeed, if anyone heard this, their head might roll.”

    There are indeed brave souls in this world who spread such terrifying rumors.

    The wanderer muttered so as he stepped out of the tavern.
