“Gyahahahahaha! So that’s why you dress like a girl, huh? Gyahahahaha!”
After I told Lili-san the whole story, she laughed to her heart’s content.
That means, she’s not angry…right?
Seeing the chance, I immediately thought up of a defense for myself.
“Y-you see, this body is just a body double! So, sure, the double might have violated your settlement’s rule, but the real me has never actually step foot inside this place!”
If they were going ahead with an execution anyway, I wanted them to be content with only the double’s execution.
“I see…but the way you’re answering now is so much better than before, aren’t you?”
“Gh…”
“Could it be that the real you is able to control the doubles?”
“Ghk…”
“So, if my guess is right, even though the one in front of me is a body double, inside it is the real you. So, can you still claim that the real you has never set foot inside our settlement?”
“Ghkghk…”
She’s so sharp…
She just learned about my body doubles, but she figured out so much on her own already.
“But that would also mean that the real you can see what the double is seeing. So, have you ever gone into the bath with us?”
“I-I didn’t look! I didn’t look!!”
“Ohh? That reaction tells me you at least know the double took a bath with us.”
“!?”
Crap, everything I say only exposes me more…
“We’ve bathed together too…so, I’ve been in a bath…with a man…uuu…”
With teary eyes, Lala-san blushed and groaned something.
You’re the ones who forced me to go into the bath with you in the first place though!
I wanted to protest so, but I had a feeling Lili-san would only use that to drive me deeper into the corner, so I held back.
“Kukuku. Oh well, we do owe you a lot. Don’t worry, your punishment won’t be execution.”
“R-really?”
Mhm? That phrasing…
“But in exchange…you’ll have to show us you p**p**! Everyone, strip him!”
“Gyaaaaa!?”
“Haa, haa, haa…damn it, I can’t believe you’re running all over the place!”
Lilli-san breathed heavily as she bellowed out her annoyance.
“I mean, obviously I’ll run!”
“What’s the fuss? It’s not like looking at ‘em’s gonna make them smaller.”
“That’s not the problem!”
Following Lili-san’s orders, the settlement’s women jumped me and tried to strip me down. I managed to get away though. Well, if anything, through teleportation, it was only natural that I was able to escape.
“Tch, no helping it, we’ll have to give up on exposing his thing for today.”
“For today…?”
Are they aiming to strip me every chance they get from now on…?
If so, it might be a good idea to have underwear that couldn’t ever be taken off be made and wear them.
At any rate, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was hiding from them all this time the fact that I was a man, after all.
Plus now, I didn’t have to pretend I was a girl anymore. In other words, I was now completely free from cross-dressing!
While I was celebrating internally, Lili-san said something totally unbelievable.
“Ah, by the way, whenever you visit beastmen tribes, be sure you do it dressed like a girl.”
“…excuse me?”
“Obviously, that goes not just for our settlement. You have to do that whenever you go the others’ settlements.”
“W-why!? I can sort of understand doing that in here, but whenever I go the other beastmen settlements too!?”
“Oh well, guess if you really dislike dressing like that, I don’t mind however you dress when it’s outside of our settlement…but the other beastmen think you’re a real girl, don’t they? And that’s how they’ve been treating you all this time, in case you didn’t know.”
Upon hearing that, something dawned on me.
Whenever my consciousness wasn’t in a particular body double, they moved autonomously. So, without me realizing it, the doubles might have put me in a situation where it would be more troublesome than I expected if other beastmen found out I was a man.
“I won’t go over the details, but I think it’s better if you keep up the act, no? There are beastmen far worse than us, you know.”
At that, I fell to my knees and heartbrokenly hanged my head low.
“I thought I was finally free from dressing up like this…”
“Gyahahahahaha! So that’s why you dress like a girl, huh? Gyahahahaha!”
After I told Lili-san the whole story, she laughed to her heart’s content.
