I’ll Live My Second Life!

Dear Ve**ullis,

Are you just here to annoy me? I dont really care if you dont like the story, but can you not complain on my turf? It leaves a completely bad after-taste after working for hours to get this translated.

To sum up, your commenting here is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege is only extended to people who dont piss me off. I translate because I want comments about people enjoying the story. Why else am I doing all this? Certainly not money.

Also dont talk to Chronos that way. You dont have the capital to be warning her of anything.

Love,

the translator

The next day, the members of the Northern Dormitory were greeted with an odd sight.

Recently, it had become a regular sight to see Doug chasing Heath around. But for some reason, it was Doug avoiding Heath today.

One thing was on Dougs mind.

(Does everyone know? That shes)

For a moment, the image almost surfaced in his mind, but Doug panicked and shook his head to clear it.

He couldnt. It was forbidden to imagine it.

In the blink of an eye, Dougs face flushed red again.

(W-W-Why is there a girl here?)

How could he have imagined that Heath was a girl?

But he was sure he hadnt made a mistake. Because that body was

And again, Doug almost thought back to the sight from yesterday. And again, he shook his head in a great panic. Dougs heart had been pounding like mad for a while now.

Actually, now that he knew she was a girl, it suddenly became incredibly obvious from her looks alone.

There was no rule that forbade women from being knights.

Or rather, no girl had ever tried becoming one, so nobody had even thought about it enough to form rules.

(What am I supposed to do)

Dougs head was in chaos now.

Did everyone know that Heath was a girl? Or did they live with her without knowing a thing? Since he didnt really know anyone here, Doug had no idea.

Normally you would think that she was hiding it.

How could there be any girls in the Knight Order?

But she didnt seem to be hiding it at all.

Unable to talk to anybody about this, Doug decided to simply avoid Heath.

And just as Doug was passing by a deserted break area, a voice called out to him from behind.

Doug-kun, its time to have a chat. With me, that is.

When Doug turned with a start, he found Heath there.

She was leaning lazily on the couch, and munching on cookies bought from town. Even though she looked like the very definition of relaxed, her eyes were locked onto Doug with a glint.

Fii had been waiting here the whole time for him.

She had already heard this morning that Doug had been wandering about in a daze. In that case, it made sense that he would wander to a deserted place like this.

That was the plan.

It was absolutely necessary that it was only the two of them.

It was incredibly bad news for Fii that somebody knew she was a girl. But she kept it off her face so that he would never know.

Doug was the one in the wrong here. Fii was the one doing the blaming. It was essential that she create that kind of atmosphere.

Sit down, she said, as she offered him a chair. All as her eyes told him that she wouldnt take no for an answer.

Under her glare, Doug could only obediently sit opposite her.

Ah Um

Say. Did you peek on me because you thought I was a man? Or did you peek on me because you knew I was a woman?

Before Doug could say anything, Fii cut him off and replied with a pre-emptive strike.

She was the one who was in charge here.

T-, Thats not- I never-!

Well, I dont care either way. It doesnt change the fact that you peeked.

Fii didnt care what he said. By denying him the opportunity to express himself, Fii would take the reins of the conversation. And while she was at it, she would gouge at his weaknesses.

That was her aim. And apparently it had worked.

N-N-N-Never! I wouldnt

Doug looked flushed and panic-stricken, and near the end his voice had grown hoarse. Things seemed to be going pretty well. Perhaps even more effectively than she had imagined.

In their previous exchanges, Fii had realised that Doug was on the simplistic side of people.

Although he was good with the sword, he wasnt good with talking or communication.

If anything unexpected happened, he would immediately fall into a fluster, and the time in the bathroom he had turned bright red and stumbled about like a headless chicken. Because he often wore a serious expression, at first he seemed like the cool type, but in fact it was the opposite; whether he was being serious or whether he wasnt, his emotions would always be laid bared on his face.

Being frank about your emotions meant that you would be easily influenced by the mood. And when your emotions were easily changing, it was impossible to influence the mood with your own emotions.

Fii was certain that this could work.

You know, we generally call people like thoseperverts. A guy who peeks on a girl taking a bath is apervert, and a guy who peeks onguystaking a bath isanotherkind ofpervert. If this ever got out, youd never be able to stay in the Order, would you?

The whole conversation was going to proceed on the basis that Doug was in the wrong.

The truth was that Fii would be overwhelmingly worse off if this ever got out.

But Doug was already convinced. First Fiis attitude was too bold. Secondly, Fii had been using the atmosphere to continuously convince him that he was the one in real danger here

Doug couldnt stop the sweat running down his skin.

If it went public that you were a voyeur, itd probably damage the 1st Divisions reputation, huh. And if that happened, itd be entirely your fault. Youd be disqualified as a knight, you know? So what are you going to do?

What am I going to do? W-What am IsupposedI do?

Naturally this was a question with no answer.

The whole problem hinged on whether Fii went public or not, so to begin with it was impossible for Doug to come up with any sort of plan.

But well, eventhatwas one of Fiis tricks.

Normally it would be Doug choosing whether or not to go public, and Fii trying to prevent it. But because of Fiis incredibly unashamed attitude, and the constant attacks on his weaknesses, their situations had completely reversed.

By now, Doug was feeling pure panic.

Peeking

Pervert

Disgrace

Disqualified as a knight

Each word pressured him psychologically, and having believed that Fii was the one in charge here, he reflexively gave her a begging look.

The moment she saw those eyes, Fii was assured of her victory.

Dont worry. Just this once, Ill cut you some slack.

R-, Really!?

Even thoughsheshould have been the one in trouble, Fii completely acted like she was the one doing him the favour. As for Doug who seemed overjoyed that she had saved him, Fii looked at him and nodded in affirmation.

In exchange, I expect absolute obedience, you know?

Eh?

It was almost as though Doug couldnt understand Fiis words.

Absolute obedience, she repeated, slowly and carefully.

Eh-, eh? Why?

It wasnt that he didnt understand the words, but rather that he couldnt believe what was happening to him.

Youstilldont get it? Doug, whether or not you can continue living here as an apprentice knight depends entirely on my mood, you know? If I ever felt like it

The cookie she had been eating rested on the palm before his eyes.

Your life here?

And as though hinting at Dougs future, Fii crushed the cookie with a sicklycrunch.

Thats why if I tell you to do something youd better not disobey me. Okay?

With that, the boy who was known as having an angels smileactually a girl thoughsmiled at Doug with the face of a devil.

Given that he lacked the negotiation skills to deal with Fii to begin with, now that he had been driven to the wall psychologically, all Doug could do was nod.

Yes
