Chapter 14: Casual Broadcast. But Now with Cosplay
by AfuhfuihgsCasual Broadcast. But Now with Cosplay
Woong-
A sharp axe is swung with a terrifying momentum.
After avoiding the attack, which came at a very fast speed for such a large axe, with a slight movement, I trip her leg to break her stance and strike her torso with a rod.
Thwack-
Fran, who was rolling on the floor, scratched the ground to reduce her speed and launched herself again.
The training room of the mansion.
Normally, physical conditioning would come first, but since there’s an interview today, we proceeded with practical training first.
“Increase the concentration by 1%.”
As the ominous look in her eyes intensifies, Fran approaches with an even more explosive momentum.
The sight of her nosebleed suggests she won’t last long.
Woong-
Mana fluctuates on the axe blade, breaking everything it touches.
A technique that mimics an ultrasonic cutter with mana.
It can’t grind things down due to its wide range, but it boasts a sufficiently threatening destructive power.
“Your movements are too big. Don’t be consumed by the drug.”
I stab her exposed side with my large attack.
With an added rotation, vomit pours from Fran’s mouth.
“That’s it for today. I’ll switch to self-training until tomorrow.”
“Thank… you… for your hard… work.”
“Haran. I’ll leave Fran to you.”
I headed to the bathroom to prepare for the interview.
Swoosh-
In the bathroom I entered after undressing, there’s a mirror reflecting the anteroom.
The body, which might look sickly due to its whiteness, appeared healthy with visible lean muscles, and the sufficiently large but not massive breasts maintained their shape as if ignoring the effects of gravity.
The black hair was glossy despite not being maintained at all, and it never tangled.
Maintaining the best physical condition, a privilege of high-ranking Awakened.
There are no remaining scars since wounds disappear whenever I die and come back to life.
‘I didn’t mind before.’
When my body first changed, I had no time to think about the changed body with the endless deaths occurring.
Afterward, I separated my past self from my current self, so I didn’t feel embarrassed.
But after coming to Korea, memories of being a man resurface whenever I recall the past.
‘It’s a bit embarrassing.’
Somehow, it feels like I’ve returned to the past.
No. It’s stranger than back then.
If it were the old me, would I have felt embarrassed?
‘That wouldn’t have happened.’
Returning to the past with a healthier mind?
It’s like I just became a woman now.
“More importantly, my body is really sexy.”
The owner has no awareness as a woman, but the body emphasizes that it’s female.
I can understand why criminals looked at me with lustful eyes, saying they would violate me or that I should become their woman.
‘Understanding doesn’t mean forgiveness though.’
If the Association President knew, she would tease me again.
But I can’t not tell her either.
Returnees’ mental health is the most important aspect for R.A, so false reports are impossible.
“I wish I had been born ugly.”
The reason I could infiltrate wearing various outfits to reduce harm was possible because my face supported it.
If the damage were human casualties, I wouldn’t say anything, but they made me wear such clothes because the ground would be damaged.
At that time, I wore them without feeling embarrassed, but now I don’t think I could wear them if asked.
“Haah… I suddenly feel like a virgin maiden.”
Is it fortunate that I don’t have periods at least?
The Awakened body is nice in that aspect.
‘Let’s not look at the naked body.’
And I can’t be the only one suffering!
“Work hard.”
I’m looking forward to today’s broadcast.
♦♦♦
Song Haran.
A woman once called an untouchable flower, and now called a dangerous flower if touched.
After becoming a child due to the effects of Ban Lo Hwan Dong, another warning bell rang in her life, which had only received dangerous gazes.
“You’re telling me to wear a school uniform?”
“I’m in a stewardess outfit.”
To reiterate.
She was once called a national beauty and an untouchable flower, and all those who harassed her died spitting blood from their entire bodies.
A pure body that no man’s hand had ever touched.
And now being told to wear a school uniform?
At this age?
After living for over 200 years, a school uniform?
“Why on earth?”
“It’s in the clause, so you can’t refuse.”
“I’ve never seen such a clause!”
“‘Actively participate in training for mission performance.’ That’s the clause.”
“This is ridiculous!!!”
Why is a school uniform necessary for mission performance, and why a stewardess outfit?
And why a school uniform of all things?
“That’s… not it.”
“Finish what you were saying.”
“Th-The broadcast time is approaching! I need to change quickly~”
…
How sad.
[Casual Broadcast. With Food.]
In the end, she changed into a school uniform.
An actual middle school girl’s uniform.
Is it somewhat fortunate that it’s not cosplay?
-Nooooooo
-Wow~ Cosplay broadcast.
-Has it become a female streamer now?
-Isn’t this a public authority broadcast?
No. It’s not okay at all.
A joke! At my age?
Female streamer? I have no intention of doing that!
“Hello, everyone. Today is a casual broadcast. The outfits are for practicing not to be embarrassed when doing undercover investigations. Please don’t misunderstand.”
“It seems unreasonable to ask not to misunderstand with this outfit.”
“When I wore a dress last time, I was so embarrassed. If it had been a static location, it would have looked strange. But Tia-ssi looked so professional, blending in without any awkwardness.”
Fran?
Wearing clothes for broadcasts seems different though.
This 100% includes an intention to make fun of us.
-The stewardess outfit is one thing, but a school uniform…
-That’s a 00 middle school uniform.
-It suits her though.
-She looks a bit small for a middle schooler.
“To say this body is smaller than a middle schooler’s! What nonsense!”
“Calm down, Haran-ssi.”
I’ll find that guy’s location and immediately make his growth plates close.
“Anyway, today we’ll proceed with a casual chat and Q&A feel.”
“The interest of people will mostly be on Tia, what would they have to ask us?”
-How is the training?
-Are you still eating those foods?
-Have you fought Tia-ssi in earnest?
-Has Haran ever gone on a mission? I’ve never seen it.
-What is Tia like when not broadcasting?
Contrary to expectations, many people were asking us questions.
Half are related to Tia though.
“Still those foods? I’m eating similar things. The intensity of the food keeps increasing, so I can’t adapt.”
“The intensity will continue to increase until you can eat A-rank monsters without issues. Beyond that, I’m not sure since I can’t heal you.”
-Isn’t feeding A-rank poison equivalent to killing?
-With a healer? assassin nearby, it’s fine.
-Assassins are usually knowledgeable about poisons.
-But Haran doesn’t use poison?
I don’t use poison, but I’ve been threatened with assassination many times, so I know most poisons.
And after working as a healer for 5 years, I also know how to cure monster poisons.
“Haran-ssi. Have you ever fought with the Team Leader at full power?”
“I did 4 days ago when you collapsed. I don’t want to think about it again.”
We went to a dungeon owned by R.A and fought with full power.
I used all means and even techniques never revealed to the outside.
I even used a secret technique that can only be used once a month, but it was just one arm.
Even that arm returned as if nothing had happened as time passed.
Compared to that, what about myself?
My body was riddled with holes and torn apart occasionally.
The sword spewed fire, and the hammer shot electricity.
She would suddenly teleport, hide in shadows, and even have her body turn into water and disperse.
I wouldn’t have been this exhausted even if I had faced 100 people.
And the fear I felt at the end.
“It was really scary. I felt the fear of certainly dying and collapsed. Although I’ve felt the crisis of life many times as an assassin, I’ve never been as frightened as that.”
“When I was training too, I can’t tell you how scary it was. My immunity to fear has reached immunity level, not just resistance.”
“You really felt that? Hmm. Even I can’t solve that.”
-If Haran is that scared, she must be really strong.
-She even killed Death. Of course she’s scary.
-She’s someone who kills even Awakened who don’t die. Of course she’s scary.
-There was speculation that Tia turns Awakened into weapons.
That seems quite possible for her.
-Saying such things while wearing a school uniform feels like child abuse.
“I should tear this school uniform apart!”
“No! The broadcast will be suspended!”
The reason I obediently wore this outfit might be because the fear from that time still remains in my body.
I’m not scared at all now!
“Alright, next question. What is Tia-ssi like outside the broadcast? Outside the broadcast, she seems the same to me.”
“She’s living her life too boringly. Always talking about work. She’s never talked about herself.”
“Today too, she trained until the interview. She had a meeting in the evening as well.”
-Tell the Team Leader to go on a workshop.
-Let’s go once if new recruits are selected this time.
-Not much spring left.
-These people are public authorities?
-They did a big job. Let’s have a drink.
♦♦♦
“Tia-ssi. I’m disappointed.”
“I’ve never done anything to disappoint you.”
“You were my hero. But not anymore.”
Heavy air filled the space where the interview was taking place.
Amidst everyone holding their breath during the interview, the interviewee kicked the door and left.
