Chapter 286
Even the fundamentally crazy contest called the women’s dress contest has the title of a contest after all. It is a competition that is normally operated under the promotion of the student council and the approval of the temple.
Not only is there a prize money, but the format of the tournament is well prepared.
Fortunately, there are very few participants, so there is no preliminaries.
It means that men dressed as women don’t have to gossip about who will qualify for the finals while appealing their charms.
straight into the finals. After coming out according to the number, making an appeal and returning, the winner is determined through a vote.
I can’t become a completely different person, but if I put my hand on my face slightly, wear completely different clothes, and change the mood, even those who know me won’t notice.
Because there is a cheat key to prepare for this situation, Sarkegar’s ring… … .
It sounds like a real dog to say this, but… … .
There is absolutely no way there could be a prettier guy (?) than me… … .
So, the first thing you need is a dress to wear to the competition.
And what kind of bullshit should I do when I appeal to myself… … . have to decide… … .
should i dance? or a song?
I really, really want to cry. There are countless times when I felt unfair and sad while living here, but this is the first time I feel like I’m going to cry because I’m really unfair.
To me… … . Why are you doing this to me… … .
You must never find out that you are Reinhardt. So that no one can guess that it is me. I have to put in the usual dog-like temperament.
If you suddenly turn around and start playing around, someone might guess, ‘That bastard must be Reinhardt?’
Most of the guys who came to the tournament don’t know me, but maybe some of them have heard of my notoriety, and Kono Lint seems to come with a very high probability.
Elerith returned before long.
empty-handed.
“Um… … . this once. that… … . When I went to the boutique… … . Most of the dresses are custom made… … . They say you need to re-measure and make… … . Of course, there are products, but… … . For you to wear… … .”
“… … .”
My height is about 181.
It can turn into Sarkegar’s ring, but it’s an adventure to adjust its height in case of an unexpected situation.
Why did you go to the dress up contest?
No, but he was short then?
what did you do
You may hear this, but I’d rather be short.
“Let’s get the dress that has a long skirt. You’d have to make an excuse like you were bending your leg. Maybe lower your height.”
“Oh, you mean the hoop skirt.”
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think its name is a hoop skirt.
Reduce your height with Sarkegar’s Ring. If you cover your legs with a full-length hoop skirt dress, you might be able to excuse yourself for bending your knees if you find out later.
Since I’m shorter, the odds of finding out who I am will be lower.
The organizers just need to keep it a secret.
I feel lost at the point where I’m already preparing for a situation to be discovered, but I can’t help it. As for the body type, I can control the body itself, so I can throw away the clothes that fit my body, not the clothes that fit my body.
Ellerith said she would go again then, and was about to leave.
“Oh, that… … . I think the sleeves should also be long.”
If you can see my forearms, that wouldn’t be weird either! Elerith, who heard me, nodded her head again, her lips quivering.
“Oh that… … . yes… … . Lowering.”
pestilence.
plague is real.
Seriously, I hate myself for thinking about how to dress properly!
still… … . I have to win… … .
There’s nothing you can do to win… … . I think I would really want to commit suicide if I clumsily placed second… … .
While waiting for Ellerith, who had gone out to buy a dress, I stared blankly at the ceiling with my mouth open.
Appeal… … . What are you doing… … .
Somebody kill me
* * *
In the end, what I did all Sunday was preparing for the women’s dress up contest.
I have to focus on the finals of the tournament starting tomorrow… … .
Why do I have the feeling that the women’s dress up contest is more important?
As for the dress, Elleris brought it over from the booklet design collection from the boutique and browsed through it. The design was also a problem, but the important thing was that the sleeves and skirt would be big. I chose a wedding-style dress called a hoop skirt.
And even bringing the purchased dress in the trunk.
It was a series of self-defeating feelings, but in the end, I couldn’t do it in vain.
As you said.
There is no point in clumsily reaching the top ranks when you are not properly prepared.
If you don’t get first place, this bullshit becomes nonsense.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Right now, I was finally trying on the dress Elerith had bought. The top priority was that too.
You should be able to wear it by yourself.
So, I was just wearing the dress Elerith had bought for me.
I didn’t change the shape of my face, but I only adjusted my height to match the length of my hair and dress.
I changed my hair to silver instead of my usual blonde so that no one would recognize me. If the hair color is too different, the impression will be much different.
Ellerith was looking at me with a lukewarm expression.
“… … Say something.”
If you’re like a dog, at least say something like a dog!
“Even, I can’t understand why you have to do such a thing… … .”
Ellerith licked her lips as if in trouble.
There is no Demon Realm, but the Demon Realm’s supreme is having his female attire checked by his subordinates, and it’s strange if he doesn’t get deranged.
“Yeah, but… … . This, strangely… … . It suits you well.”
plague!
Don’t be proud!
“That’s what matters. Can you recognize me?”
“yes? It’s just that the color of my hair has changed… … . I don’t think the impression has changed much, but… … .”
It’s natural. In the end, since the original version is the same and there is no make-up, I have no choice but to recognize that it is me.
“mirror… … . Would you like to see it?”
“… … .”
I hate to see it.
I don’t like to look dirty.
“show me… … .”
Still, you have to see.
Elerith summoned a reflective shield in the air. I saw myself in the magically formed mirror.
Reinhardt (silver hair, wearing a dress) was staring at me as if he was carrying all the cares and worries of the world.
cry out
Dizzy.
I… … . why am i
After all, is this my karma?
I think it started when I tricked myself into transforming into Sarkegar’s ring and being confessed to by Kono Lint? The taffy seller didn’t even know about that possibility in the first place, but didn’t I show it to you? Come to think of it, this also goes around and around in the end, is it my karma and my fault?
It’s very sad, but it’s not too strange because he made Reinhardt look good when setting up his appearance.
but a problem.
Even from afar, I couldn’t understand this, but when I looked closer, I had no choice but to recognize that the people who knew me were me.
You should do the following:
“that… … . Even if you start… … . Would you like to?”
Ellerith carefully laid out the makeup tools she had bought in front of me.
Elleris said she didn’t know how to make up at all. It would have been a technique without a reason to know.
So, while walking around looking for dresses in boutiques, she said that she learned how to make up quickly.
I don’t know how much I learned how to make up in that short time, but I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. I thought Elleris would do well because she was Elleris.
But it’s a problem because it’s not her face, but my face.
I took off my uncomfortable dress and sat down in a chair.
I tried on the dress, so I don’t have to wear it anymore.
After that, the only thing I would wear was once, in the women’s dress contest finals.
“Whoa… … . good. Let’s try.”
“Yes… … .”
I felt like I was on the death row.
* * *
Things would be better if I was going to Miss Temple. It’s just that you have to change into something completely different. Rather, it seems like it would be more convenient.
However, this is a cross-dressing contest that I applied for in the name of Reinhardt in the first place.
He had to achieve the bizarre goal of having to look like a completely different person while maintaining as much of Reinhardt’s appearance as possible. In fact, the organizers will keep my identity a secret, but they know it. If a completely different person appears, they will think it strange.
So I changed the color and length of my hair, and you can call it a wig.
and makeup. If you wear thick makeup, you can look like a completely different person. The strange thing was that Elleris seemed to be doing very well for what he had learned in a short time. Hand dexterity was not at an average level. Even if you don’t do it, there will be things you’ve seen so far.
I just left my face to Elerith with a dying expression.
The important thing is, Elerith can’t enter the temple.
There are two ways.
Learn how to make up from Elleris, or visit Elleris on the day of the competition, get your makeup done, and return to the temple.
Both are like dogs.
“… … .”
It was the same for me and Ellerith, the expressions on their faces were dying moment by moment.
Ellerith seems to have no idea what she’s doing right now, her eyes are going tight, but she’s putting on makeup for me, and it goes without saying to me.
However, the more she put on her makeup, the more Elleris’ expression became more and more grotesque.
what… … . With a look that makes you want to.
“… … Why are you so anxious?”
“that… … . that… … . How to say… … .”
Elerith’s lips quivered.
“You fit so well… … .”
“… … mirror.”
I could see her face almost finished with makeup.
“… … shit.”
I can see.
I ate makeup so well.
There are some things Ellerith did too well with makeup, but basically the original is fine, so it feels like you can pull out whatever you want to pull out no matter what you do.
그래 봐야 애초에 라인하르트의 얼굴이 내 얼굴도 아니고, 따지자면 캐릭터 커스터마이징을 한 얼굴일 뿐이다.
얼마든지 바꿀 수 있는 그런.
본판인 발리에가 지금에선 어떻게 생겼는지 잘 기억도 안 난다. 물론 따지자면 그쪽도 괜찮긴 한데.
라인하르트의 얼굴로 더 오래 있어서 이쪽이 내 얼굴처럼 느껴지긴 한다.
아무튼.
이상할 정도로 괜찮아서 더 짜증 난다.
문제는 그거다.
“……아무리 봐도 라인하르트처럼 보여.”
“그렇긴……. 합니다.”
라인하르트의 얼굴은 일부러 그렇게 만든 건 아닌데, 그렇게 살다 보니 그리된 건지 인상이 강한 편이다.
그래서 ‘라인하르트가 여자로 태어났다면?’의 현실판 같은 느낌이란 거다.
나라고 곧장 알아보진 못한다 해도, 날 아는 놈이라면 누구라도 ‘쟤 라인하르트 여동생 아니야?’ 아니면 ‘라인하르트한테 여동생이 있나?’ 이런 소리를 필연적으로 들을 것만 같은 모습이다.
코노 린트가 나한테 여동생 소개해 달라고 하는 걸 상상해 버렸다.
최악이다…….
화장으로도 한계가 있다. 그럴듯해지는 것엔 성공했지만 아무리 봐도 잘 숨겨지지 않는다.
이제 마지막 작업에 들어간다.
“일단 이 더러운 눈매부터 어떻게 좀 해야겠어.”
아주 미세하게, 세부 성형 작업에 들어간다. 사르케가르의 반지, 그 힘을 사용한다.
성질 더러워 보이는 눈매를 살짝 다듬고, 턱선을 좀 더 얇게, 지나치게 티 나지는 않지만 아주 조금씩 조금씩 조정한다.
자괴감 따위는 일단 접어 두자.
난 우승한다.
무슨 짓이든 해서, 반드시 우승한다!
거울을 보며 미세한 조정을 끝마치는 데에도 한세월이었다.
프리셋을 저장하는 느낌으로, 라인하르트의 모습을 기억해 둔 것처럼 이 모습도 기억해 둔다.
모든 작업을 끝마치고 나니 눈알이 빠질 것 같았다.
“……저하.”
“……왜.”
“Now, unless it’s a girl… … . I feel strange… … . It seems to be on that level… … . That, I will stop.”
As I felt like I was dying more from the praise, Elerith stopped talking.
That’s right.
Unless this face is a girl… … . that’s even weirder… … .
“however… … . The more I look at this, the more I like Reinhardt’s older sister or Reinhardt’s younger brother… … .”
“Yes… … .”
Since the overall framework cannot be touched, whether changing the color of the hair or finely adjusting the face, it is inevitable that he will eventually become a derivative of Reinhardt.
You can’t turn everything around either.
It’s like hell. Ellerith hesitated and opened her mouth with difficulty.
“Lowering… … . I think I know what the problem is… … .”
“What?”
“expression.”
Ellerith pointed to my face in the mirror.
“The expression is the problem.”
my expression in the mirror.
You can see that everyone is dying and stressed out. This feeling of nervousness stretching all the way to the top of my head and about to explode.
Yes.
This is the default expression for Reinhardt mk.I.
A normal expression that is not for nothing. It wasn’t that my eyes were dirty in the first place, but I went around with an expression that made my eyes look dirty.
However, while preparing for this, I was under more stress, so my already dirty expression was ten times dirtier than usual.
So, right now I’m ten times more like Reinhardt than usual.
“a little… … . Seeing you smile… … .”
“… … I’m not in the mood to laugh at all.”
After all this, what is it that you can’t smile at in the mirror?
I want to, but that didn’t go well.
The corners of his mouth trembled as if they were about to rise.
Forcing yourself to smile was harder than I thought.
Hell, practicing smiling in the mirror. What announcer are you preparing for?
“Joe, be a bit fresher… … .”
“I am trying… … .”
The mood is going to be stuck in the gutter, but you have to create a refreshing smile.
It was a real taste to die for.
Elerith was right when he pointed out that facial expressions were the problem.
“surely… … . It seems to work.”
He only changed his expression, but he looked like a completely different person.
Not even reminiscent.
Even though I just changed the expression I always wear into a smiling face.
In the end, time passed again and again until midnight, I practiced laughing in Ellerith’s semi-basement room.
Finally.
“This is enough… … . It seems perfect. It’s like a completely different person.”
“okay… … ?”
In the mirror, his mentality had turned to powder and had been shattered, but his expression was as bright as it was disgusting.
I can see.
He never looked like Reinhardt.
With this, all the preparations for the women’s dress up contest are over.
This is how it feels to have a god come up from within. No, bitter water rises because it is not sour.
That night, I almost cried in my sleep.
no… … .
It was, really, a little stingy.
