Otherworld TRPG Game Master

121 – S2.5. Do Butterflies Dream Magical Female Dreams-3

Physical education class consisted of a brief gymnastics and water play lesson, followed by unlimited free time according to the national rules. Students swam, played water games, and played in their swimsuits.

Some of them had a pool nightmare: swimming and playing at the same time. Kim Lulu had long since become the class’s martial arts champion, deliberately splashing water everywhere.

“Capture him alive! I will make him pay for my sunscreen with his life!”

“Hose him down! Hose him down!”

“────slow.”

Gimlulu rolled around in the water like a dolphin, unleashing a merciless barrage of water bombs on the reavers chasing him.

Chaaat-!!!

When the firepower hit Choi Mo Yang (a physical education specialist), who had just got her hair done at the salon and was not participating in swimming class, the pool king broke the seal and joined the fray.

Thus, the net to capture the pool’s troublemakers was completed.

“You! I won’t stop tickling you until you cry!”

And that’s how Kim Lulu’s ordeal came to an end, as she was captured by the Tianraji net and sent to tickle hell.

And then, as if she hadn’t heard all the commotion.

Round and round.

There was a lone sea otter drifting in the pool, whose name was Roderus.

“…haaah.”

Ms. Odaesu sighed as the sky fell. In the end, she couldn’t tell Kim Lulu that she was actually a man.

It would be so hard to tell her.

She wouldn’t be able to drink miso soup at Mrs. Oh’s house anymore. I can’t live with a man I don’t know. I’ll have to move out.

But I’m ready for independence. I’ll sleep in a jjimjilbang and work part-time jobs to support myself.

Yeah, that’s the way life is. I just have to go back to the way things were, and disappear in front of Kim Ruru and Hye In Oh, as if Oh Dae Soo never existed in the first place.

I won’t be able to eat crepes with them or play Rangem, but I’ll be able to stir and watch from a distance while working my part-time job at the convenience store⋯⋯.

That’s it. That’s it.

The otter was pushed to the corner of the pool by the rushing water, and a shadow fell over her face.

She looked up and saw Oh Hye-in.

“…What’s wrong today, Dae-soo? You love water. Last time you swam like you had a motor in your foot.”

“…Don’t ask me anything. That’s what happened.”

“Ugh, does cutting by yourself make you sick?”

“…”

I was already sick. I ended up sleeping for about three hours last night.

I would wake up in the middle of the night to a stern scolding, “Huh? You’re a big boy? Ew, gross. Why did you pretend to be a girl?” and then I would wake up at dawn with my eyes wide open.

The wound in his heart would not heal, and he would be helpless to do anything about it. I would rather be flogged. I’d rather be struck by a parsimonious lightning bolt.

So Roderus went into otter mode. To catch up on sleep and calm his mind.

Harmony and calm. It’s about surrendering to the rocking of the water, staying calm, and just letting it flow. Thinking of the sounds of nature that often appear in documentaries.

Hye-in Oh gave a languid smile and threw it out.

“Dae-su.”

“…”

“Why, are you so sad to go back, because you won’t be able to change clothes together in the changing room, and you won’t be able to see girls in swimsuits, or because you like living in a girl’s body?”

“…Don’t talk bullsh*t!”

Calmness prevailed, and Oh Dae-Su fell into the water.

—- —-

Roderus was used to being a woman, not wanting to be one, so whenever he signed up for something on the internet, he always filled in the gender field as male.

Sitting with my legs crossed was more about “I’m a woman and I need to be respectful” than it was about “I don’t want all those males looking at my crotch”.

Wearing a skirt, because there’s nothing wrong with a man wearing a skirt. It’s traditional dress in Scotland.

The old man said, ‘In Scotland, it is common sense for men to wear skirts.’ They say it’s strange that I don’t wear it. Of course, it’s because Ruru Kim pecks at me so much, asking ‘Why are you wearing pants?’

So there really is nothing to say about a woman’s body…

“Okay, you don’t have to admit it if you’re embarrassed.”

“If someone hits you on the head at night, think it’s me, Oh Hye-in.”

Around the time when Roderus was planning his late-night revenge, Oh Hye-in smiled ‘Ugh’ and waved her hand to say sorry. And she spoke in a slightly downcast voice.

“You can just keep living, in my house.”

“…What?”

“It’s okay, just pretend I’m your cousin, right? Just use my name Oh Dae-su… ”

“…I am a man.”

“I know. But before that, I know that you are Dae-su’s oppa. I also know that you are not the kind of person who would do something strange… And if you wanted to do it, you would have done it a long time ago. Like entering the women’s bathhouse?”

Of course, Oh Hye-in continued.

“You should tell Lulu. Wouldn’t she be sad if her friend suddenly disappeared? Also, wouldn’t she care that Dae-su’s brother is a man? Take the opportunity and tell me.”

“I heard you use it.”

“Oh, so that’s why you had a good time?”

“….”

Roderius lowered his eyes. It can’t be like that… Oh Hye-in moan her head curiously, then she said anyway, and she moved on to the next story.

“The shell is not important, Dae-su oppa.”

“You mean the shell?”

“Yes. Not all students are short-thinking, and not all magic women like battle. In the end, you have to see who that person is… And what they have in their hearts.”

Roderus curled up his body and looked at the surface of the water. Oh Dae-su’s gloomy face was reflected on the gently submerged surface of the water.

“…I have something ugly in my heart. I’m sure you won’t like it either.”

“You didn’t end up having it?”

“It’s no different. There are a lot of mistakes made.”

“I think that and this are different, but… It’s still good because we’re allowed to live together, right?”

Slurp.

As Oh Hye-in sat down next to Oh Dae-su, she asked that question. Roderus nodded his head. Not too much, just a little.

When I thought that this kind of daily life could continue in the future, I unconsciously felt relieved. Of course, the form will be slightly different.

If only we could talk together, eat together, and sleep under one roof.

Friend.

Yes, if you can be with a friend…

“Oh, and while we’re on the topic, I have something important to tell you.”

“…What is it?”

“I analyzed the reason why the transformation device was broken. Didn’t Dae-su keep referring to pure energy as ‘magic power’? I thought they were the same thing, but there seems to be a slight difference.”

Oh Hye-in clenched her fists in both her hands.

“It’s a collision between the power of this world and the other world. As the magical power and pure energy collided, the transformation device cracked!”

“…I expected it.”

“Now let’s get to the point, Dae-su. Up until now, you’ve transformed into a magical female and fought hard. So… Your body is now almost assimilated into this world. It’s adapting to pure energy, not magical power.”

“What do you mean…?”

Even as Roderus asked back, he understood what Oh Hye-in was saying. The story was that she could no longer use ‘Fable’ Here. Move on…

“It’s dangerous to use that ‘Power of Another World’.”

Oh Hye-in clashed her fists together and made a popping sound.

“Now it won’t be the transformation device, but your body. If you thought we were in danger during the final battle, you were going to intervene, right?”

“…No. “I never thought of that.”

“Yes, Tina, it’s all a lie. It’s dangerous… So just hand over the mission of ‘Magic Female’ To me… And go back to being an audience member. Just cheer hard. Okay?”

“….”

Good job, magic female 『Pure Night』.

A bell rang along with Oh Hye-in’s words. Swimming class was over, and Roderus barely managed to change his clothes, holding his head that felt like it was going to explode.

Another thunderbolt came upon him.

From Noble mtl dot com

“Oh Dae-su! They said we’re going to the East Sea on a school trip!”

“…What does that mean?”

“Let’s go buy a swimsuit!!”

“…?!”It was time to shop for swimsuits that I had nothing to wear.

—- —- —- — —-

“Hurray-!!”

Looking at the back of Kim Lulu running with his arms raised, Roderus let out a deep sigh. Oh Hye-in, who was walking next to her, stabbed her in the side with her elbow.

“Oppa Dae-su, why are you dead again?”

“…If it were you, wouldn’t you make a mess and be exhausted?!”

“There’s only a few days left, huh? If not at a time like this, when else would you feel free to see girls in swimsuits? Have fun!”

“That’s what you mean!!”

Before Roderus exploded, Oh Hye-in ran towards the captive with her knife-like timing. He pressed his aching temples and followed them at a fast pace.

Then she began defusing the anticipated minefield. In particular, she fired shots at Lulu Kim.

“Listen, I’m not going to buy it, I’m not going to try it on, I’m not going to try it on, and I’m not going to pick it out for you.”

“Yeah, Oh Dae-su, I didn’t mean to ask you to choose! I’m telling you, I already picked out what to buy at home!”

“Lulu, what are you going to buy?”

“Don’t be surprised when you see this! I—─ this!!”

Lulu Kim picked up one of her hangers and held it high. Roderus sucked in her breath in shock, and Oh Hye-in turned her head, unable to bear to face him.

Because it wasn’t her swimsuit, it was more of her bright red swim thong.

Roderus realized that this was not the time for him to be like this. What came to him was a kind of… Sense of mission. The only person who could stop Ruru Kim at this point was himself.

We have to subdue that crazy colt and make him wear a normal swimsuit.

“Put it back.”

“?”

“Give back that crazy swimsuit, Kim Ruru!!”

“Hey, why do you care when I say I’m going to wear it!!”

Is it possible to explain the harmfulness of slingshots to a child lack whos s*xual knowledge? Roderus did not have that ability. So he used his body his his. If you have a good body, you can save your head.

Then, the swimsuit that went through a tug-of-war between those who wanted to return it and those who didn’t like it ended up breaking in half and dying.

In exchange for paying for the swimsuit, Oh Hye-in ordered Oh Dae-su to wear a standard bikini, and he had no choice but to give in in the end.

Ruru Kim pushed Oh Dae-su’s spotted swimsuit and then they fought again.

I heard something like that happened.

—- —- —- — —-

Beep beep beep beep. Beep beep beep beep.

The alarm rang, and Roderus greeted another morning with his messy hair.

A lot happened. He does swimsuit defense, defeats a crazy tentacle guy, stops a gangster with blonde hair and a tan from trying to get his number her her, and stops Lulu Kim from saying she wants to burn her skin her her her of too .

As I was brushing off incidents like that, I looked at the calendar… Today was my last day as Oh Dae-su.

I haven’t decided on anything yet.

Of course, Oh Hye-in told me that we could live together. Like how to explain it to Lulu Kim, or whether she will re-enter school or not.

How will she get to her, what will she do on the day of the final battle, and so on. There was a mountain of things to decide.

Above all, I was not mentally prepared.

Time went by too fast. So much.

“….”

Still, there will be time to make things right. Roderus has one day left. During the last magical female activity today, I will make sure to make an excuse to Lulu Kim or reveal her identity.

This time, I’ve changed Ruru Kim’s habit of moving his right and left feet at the same time when he swings his fist.

If she uses all her strength today and destroys two of the Four Heavenly Kings, Oh Hye-in will be able to easily win the final battle. She endured her shame and showed cuteness to the citizens to supply pure energy.

Okay, then. I’m definitely finishing it today.

When Roderus made that decision, he got up and reached the mirror in front of the sink.

Jijijijijik──!!

Along with the noise, Oh Dae-su’s image in the mirror was slowly erased.

And what was revealed was the appearance of Roderus. He is a man with a sharp appearance. He looked around urgently, fearing that he had woken up from a dream and returned to prison.

It’s not a prison. There are no wet bricks or crawling cockroaches.If so, something happened.

“Squash, Oh Hye-in! Something happened…”

Roderus opened the door roughly and ran out, calling the two people’s names. And in front of the front door, I was able to meet Oh Hye-in and Munggae preparing for their flight.

And beyond that, a large, pitch-black whirlpool swirling darkly in the sky.

They spoke as if they were embarrassed.

“Originally, I was going to give it time, but… It was an attack. It was a total offense. We were fools for believing in the time to declare war.”

“Dae-su… Oppa. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but you look great! But, I’m busy right now so I think I’ll have to go. “Do you remember what I told you?”

“….”

“Support me. When I come back, let’s order sushi for dinner.”

Oh Hye-in, the magical female 『Pure Light』Took flight with her mascot.

So.

One morning, when Oh Dae-su frantically followed the back of the missing magical woman.

He finally realized that he had been transformed into Roderus.
