Chapter 41
Always on my side…
I was stunned. The words Sister spoke while holding my face went straight to my heart.
“Sister won’t go back on her word like Xubai.”
Thank you for being able to love a “little sister” like me… one who has hidden his gender.
“Why didn’t you tell Sister earlier that your name was on the assassination list?”
Sister lowered her hands and asked me solemnly.
“Because… if I told you, you’d be even less likely to agree. Sister, your gaze is a little scary,” I said weakly.
“If you had told me, do you think I would have ignored it?” Sister gave a dark smile. “Heh, someone in this world dares to assassinate my little sister?”
“Maybe the rebels think that killing the Saintess would be a heavy blow to the kingdom?” I scratched my cheek with a finger. How helpless.
I wasn’t scared when I heard people wanted to kill me, I just felt resigned. I wonder if it’s because I’m a “hot-blooded man” that I’m not afraid of anything?
Sister said to me with great seriousness, “Little sister, remember, no one in this world can harm you. Even if it’s Xubai, I will fight her to the death. A mere assassination organization… Sister will make them disappear from this world right now.”
“Disappearing is too terrifying. I just want to bring them to justice and hand them over to be dealt with by the law.”
“Then Sister will try her best not to kill them. According to your plan, what about Lian Qi? Do you plan to confess to her?”
Confess what? Confess my identity as the Saintess, of course! Not confess that I’m actually a boy. I realize I have so many secrets from Lian Qi. It’s no wonder she was angry before.
“I have my own arrangements for Lian Qi. I’ll give her a surprise when the time comes. Before that, I hope Sister can continue to keep it a secret for me,” I put my hands together and acted cute.
“Alright. It is indeed better for you to tell her yourself.”
See, Sister is already used to me acting cute.
“Since you’ve agreed, Sister, I just need to go to the Church one more time and everything will be ready. But before that—”
My gaze fell on the wine bottles scattered all over the headmaster’s office floor.
“Let me help you tidy up the room.”
“It’s not good to trouble you with this, little sister. Forget it, watch, I’ll take care of it myself in an instant.”
Sister used magic to control all the empty bottles in the room, making them float up and stack into a wine tower. Even though she’s from the Evocation school, her control was incredibly precise.
Sister finally feels ashamed that the dignified headmaster’s office has fallen into such a state, huh?
“Anyway, you just sit there and don’t worry about anything.”
Sister is taller than me, so she looked down at me, placing her hands on my shoulders and pressing me down to sit on the sofa.
I looked up at her and noticed that the way Sister was looking at me today was a bit strange. The person I’ve seen look at me like this a similar way most often is Qifeng. The word for it is… ambiguous.
“Little sister, your sitting posture is very pretty.”
I froze for a second. Is Sister drunk-talking?
“Is it because you received etiquette training from the nuns since you were little?”
“Mhm, I’m already used to sitting like this,” I replied with a smile. Just as Sister said, I’m used to sitting with my legs together and my hands on my skirt in all sorts of situations.
Just as I finished speaking, Sister sat down next to me. Her leg, clad in a black stocking, pressed tightly against mine. She’s my sister, after all, so I wasn’t uncomfortable with her suddenly being so close—eh, eh, eh??? Why is Sister’s hand on my leg? Was it an accident?
Th-this… I’m a little flustered.
“Little sister, I noticed you’re always wearing our school’s uniform. Why do you still wear it even after graduating?”
Sister keeps calling me “little sister,” but I’m actually a little brother…
“Mhm, because wearing the school uniform isn’t as shameful as wearing a maid outfit,” I answered with a smile.
Remembering my days as a maid at Fontainebleau Manor, every time I went out in the maid outfit, I felt so awkward… because I had to face the stares of passersby. Wearing the magic academy uniform makes me blend in more. I especially like it when Lian Qi wears it with me.
“Sister also thinks you look very good in our school’s uniform. Just like one of my students.”
“I was your student. I even attended your classes.”
“Then… can you call Sister ‘Teacher’ just once?”
“R… Sister, your request is a bit weird, but I’ll grant it. Teacher~ Hello, Teacher Aijieliya~”
I tilted my head and smiled at her.
“Mhm, very good. Fei’er is so well-behaved.”
Sister looked at me drunkenly.
“Because you might be returning to your role as the Saintess soon, Sister might not be able to see you in your school uniform anymore. That’s why I made such a strange request just now. You don’t blame Sister, do you?”
“No, how could I? No… Sister, if you like seeing me in the school uniform, I can wear it for you in the future, too,” I said with a smile.
“R-Really?”
I nodded repeatedly. I’ve realized that ever since my male consciousness awakened, I’ve started to enjoy cross-dressing. I never had this kind of mental need in the past, did I? Now, it’s great. Even though it’s shameful, I’m addicted to all kinds of Lolita dresses, maid outfits, school uniforms, and other women’s clothing and can’t pull myself away. So, I’m more than happy to wear the school uniform.
“Then, from now on, when you come to the school to find Sister, can you always wear the school uniform?”
I realized Sister seems to really like the feeling of me being her student. Is this role-playing? It’s a bit strange, but it’s not an unreasonable request.
“Okay~ I promise.”
“Fei’er, you’re so good. It was Sister’s fault for neglecting your magic education in the past. Sister shouldn’t have treated you like a greenhouse flower. But from now on, Sister can give you remedial lessons.”
As she spoke, Sister put her arm around my waist. Since it was my sister, I didn’t think much of it and just sat there demurely, until her other hand started stroking my thigh through my over-the-knee socks.
Sister really is drunk! Is she being this impulsive because she likes seeing me in my school uniform?
“Sister, you’re finally willing to teach me magic?” I gave a weak laugh. Good thing my sitting posture involves clamping my legs together, with my hands on my skirt, which just happens to protect the secret underneath~ That’s why I can be so calm.
“Mhm, from now on, coming to your house for remedial lessons is~ also fine~”
Sister’s hand is… stroking my leg… This feeling, I don’t know what to do.
“Remember, you must wear this uniform, okay?” Sister whispered softly in my ear.
“Th-Then I’ll wait for Sister at home in my school uniform?”
“Mhm, Sister will… impart~ all her knowledge~ to you~”
I looked up at the clock.
“Waaah~ Sister, it’s getting late. Why… why don’t you take me home?” I said weakly.
Because I feel like if I stay any longer, the atmosphere is going to get weirder and weirder.
