On the other side of the store, although there was no one there before, suddenly, like a ghost, a person emerged from the darkness.
The last one was a young, bewitching-looking, woman-like guy.
“As expected of the man the King calls sensei. I’ve completely turned off my presence, but you understood it well.”
“……Hah”
I’ve done it……
I was so vigorous about the quip that I couldn’t help but point that out.
“Well, that’s because the King has a good eye for people.”
“……praising your own wares, huh”
“Kukekekeke, fact, fact”
“Well, he’s not afraid to admit it.”
The four of us exchanged words in our own languages, each with a sense of harmony.
Despite his short words, it’s clear that he yearns for King ―― His Majesty the King.
“So, what’s your name?”
“That’s right. I’m Sofia, nice to meet you.”
“No, that’s not it, it’s about your real name. No parent would name a man Sofia.”
““““Eh!?””””
When I pointed this out, for some reason, all four of them were surprised.
“Wha,what do you mean”
“A,a’re you saying you understood? Of how is it that an old rascal like me, have her body became completely that of a female ……”
“As I said, what kind of a rascal you guys have been!”
I quipped grandly.
I wonder what really happened with you being a “rascal”, whose physical body becomes completely that of a female.
“Hey, how did you find out?”
“……Haa”
I sighed.
Because I did it carelessly, I gave up thinking that it was impossible to deceive them any longer.
“That sword hanging on your waist”
“Sword? What’s wrong with this sword?”
“A man and a woman have different centers of gravity, and what you have is a center of gravity which have been lowered by being a man for many years. Since men and women have different things attached to them.” (TN: Well, you already know what’s hanging between your crotch)
More specifically, a person who routinely lowers their sword will have their body’s center of gravity lean slightly toward the side where they lower their sword, compared to a person who does not.
“Heh, so that explains it.”
“Hey, Dinos, I told you before that you’ve gotten really bad at cutting off your presence.”
“Don’t say bad! It just got a little harder!”
“Isn’t that because your body’s balance and your center of gravity, is different than it was before?”
“……Huh”
The transsexual woman―― Dinos huffed, holding her mouth.
That guy became relaxed and, with a natural posture on the spot, took a deep breath.
Immediately after ――his presence diminished even though he was right in front of me.
If you don’t look at him all the time, you will lose sight of him if you look away from him even once as it is.
If he had been hiding in the corner of the store with this from the beginning, I might not have even noticed him either.
“Ooh, amazing”
“……That’s nostalgic”
“Ghiyahyahyahya, I’m back, I’m back to my prime.”
The three people, apparently old friends, laughed and reminisced together.
Immediately after, Dinos, who had returned to his presence, turned straight at me.
“Thank you! Thanks to you, I feel like I was able to regain my old self. I see, it was my body’s center of gravity.”
“Well……”
“As expected of the master recognized by King. It’s amazing that you could see through it with one shot.”
“Well, otherwise that King wouldn’t call him his sensei.”
“……Umu”
“Gehehehehe, I was going to give you a test, but now I don’t need it.”
It seems that the four of them recognized me, easily, because I had quipped about it unintentionally.
……I tried not to think of it as being more in-depth.
