Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 103: Harvest Festival, Day 2

Its the second day of the harvest festival, you know?

We met up at around the same time as yesterday. Then we walked around the main street. How could I say this? I felt like doing the same thing two days in a row made this a bit too dull.

By the way, we were planning to look around since there was a music competition. I felt like there would be a lot of flags in the beauty contest, so I definitely had to avoid it.

There were many exhibitions on the second day. Naturally, there were many venues here and there. Additionally, I could see many street performances around the venue. I guess they were aiming at the large number of people who couldnt enter the venue.

Also, many stalls sold foods that you could eat while sightseeing. Because of that, the road became narrow and it was a mess

Yeah, someone bumped on us and dirtied the clothes with the broth of their food.

Ah, no. Its not my clothes, but Trielas.

I felt bad leaving her like that, so we moved to the toilet at one of the corners of the venue to change her clothes but it was very crowded.

Since there were mirrors in the toilet, most of the people inside were using it to do their makeup and change their clothes in the toilet stall They were probably the participants of the beauty contest.

Apparently, the preparation room participants could use had turned into a big battlefield. Thats why the participants for the preliminary contest couldnt use the facility.

Actually, we were going to go to the venue for the performing contest next to this one, but it looked really crowded so we went here. This is the worst.

Ren, its okay. Its very crowded here. At this point, were only going to bother other people. No. Girls have to be clean. Thats right, Triela!

I wouldnt allow her to walk around with the front part of her coat sticky with meat soup. But the toilet was too crowded and there were no empty stalls to change her clothes I proposed to clean the dirt using [Wash], but they rejected it because it would make us stand out.

I think our surroundings think that we are participating in the contest too. They look bothered. Eh? Why did it become like that?

The gaze of the women around us was very sharp, so I had that kind of feeling Most likely, I was right.

No, its not only my fault. I think Triela and Rico were also the cause of this.

Look, I renovated their house, right? That time, I made them take a bath, remember? I taught them how to use rice bran to make them look even prettier. Thanks to that, both of them had shiny hair and good skin complexion.

In the first place, only wealthy people could take a bath every day. Most of the commoners would boil hot water and wipe their body with that. It would be even more difficult if you were an adventurer since you wouldnt earn much.

Thats why, Triela and Ricos hair and skin couldnt be compared with the women around us. Looking at them standing side by side would make those women look dull

I think if we told them that we werent participants in this situation, they wouldnt believe us at all. Hahaha Haa.

Since we had no other choice, Rico and I forcibly made space by linking our arms. Triela finally managed to change her clothes. After that, we had a hard time going out I knew that they were trying to decrease their rivals, but they were honestly scary.

In the end, someone who looked like the steering committee of the contest barged in and released us from that mess. But then, another problem surfaced.

The committee had an eye on us, and they insisted on encouraging us to participate in the contest Especially me.

No, no! Im not joining it!

Then, I received an unexpected ambush. Yeah, its Rico.

What a shame Ren, were already here anyway. Why dont you join? Hey, Rico! Ren already said that she doesnt want to. Dont force her! But Ren would definitely win if she participates! Triela, you also think so, right!?

Triela understood my personality, so she tried to warn her. Even so, it didnt have any effect Rather, the committee insisted, even more, to make me participate in the contest after hearing Ricos words. I started to feel irritated.

Uhh No matter how much I asked Rico to stop, she still wouldnt listen to me. I didnt want to stand out, and joining a contest was too troublesome. I almost forgot about it, but I still had a problem with the merchant with a frog face

Moreover, Rico was being completely selfish this time. She didnt act like this often, so its not like I didnt want to listen to her. Even so, no matter how much I considered her as my younger sister and pampered her, thats still a bit too much

When I was just about to open my mouth to scold her and make her give up,

Huh? What are you guys doing there? Eh, Ryuu? What about you? Im with Boman and his friends to watch the beauty contest, but I got lost. So what are you doing here? Looks like youre arguing here

For some reason, Ryuu happened to pass by in very good timing and meddled in. How could I say this, I knew that the probability of meeting an acquaintance at this kind of scene was high, but I never expected it to happen today.

I lost the timing to speak and ended up keeping my silence, but the conversation continued.

Ryuu had listened to the story from Triela, but Somehow, Ryuu started to preach to Rico after knowing the situation. Wait, whats with this situation?

Hey, brat! Youre being too selfish, you know! Think about the inconvenience youre causing for Ren! Why does Ryuu have to tell me that!? It has nothing to do with Ryuu! You Even if she pampers you a lot, you shouldnt act too wilful, right? Ren has given you a lot of things, but this matter is completely different, right? Hmph! Its not only me who received many things from her! Triela also received it, but why did you all have to scold me alone!? Triela has always restrained herself. And from what I heard from Maricle, she never said anything selfish to her, you know? Dont get ahead of yourself because Ren is nice to you. Ren doesnt like it too, so stop forcing it. Shut up! In the first place, its mostly Ryuu who keeps bothering Ren! Ohh, thats right! Thats why I can say this! Im reflecting on that, and I wont do that kind of thing again for the second time! How about you? Youre planning to act so wilful and end up making Ren hate you like how she hates us? If you dont, then stop acting like that. Thats Unlike me, you have done well until now. Try to cool down your head. Dont be mistaken because Ren has always taken good care of you. Shes scary when she gets angry, okay? ..Im sorry. You shouldnt say that to me, though? Ren, Im sorry.

Eh, I was surprised by how Ryuu had considerably matured. Hes really Ryuu? For real?

Ah, I had to answer Rico for now. Ah, but I had to make her reflect a bit more. I realized that I had pampered her a bit too much. So this was also my fault Anyway, I didnt say anything to her and only pat her head. Then I thanked Ryuu.

Ryuu, thank you very much. It helps that you scold her for me. I dont really like being angry

Because it was tiring

Well, different from when we were in the orphanage, Rico was the youngest now She was always patient back then, so I got ahead of myself and wanted to do this and that to make her happy. Dont worry bout that. Shes my party member too. Its not like I can just leave it alone.

Hmm, Ryuus growth was really amazing. He had worked hard, eh~

So for now, the case was closed. I didnt want to participate. But since we already came to this point, how about having Triela and Rico join?

Just like what you heard, this girl wont participate! What a shame

Ryuu explained the situation to the committee, but Hmm

I cant do it, but how about Triela and Rico giving it a try? You can think of this as an experience. Eh? Us? No way! Ill pass. Triela, why dont you try? No way! Especially if Im alone! I dont want to! Then, what if Ryuu participates with Triela? What!? Im a man, okay!? Its okay. Ill do something about it.

Hmm, Ryuus face was actually pretty well-proportioned Right, I should be able to pull out something with the power of makeup!

This is too absurd Then, as a token of gratitude for scolding Rico in my stead, I will give you a one-handed sword if you participate. How does that sound? Uh One-handed sword The one that you could use in real combat. With longer blades than Trielas? I think that will be better for Ryuus physique, but I will make it according to your wish. Uh~ Ah, I get it! Okay, Ill participate!

Its all according to my plan!

The committee who heard our conversation became eager for some reason. They even gave us permission for using the special changing room.

This person was probably okay with anyone as long as they made the contest interesting, right? I feel like they tried to make me participate because it would make an uproar during the contest Well, this should be interesting too.

I cant walk outside anymore. Ryuu, cheer up. You can get a sword with this, you know?

A few hours after that, Triela was consoling Ryuu who became extremely depressed.

Well, I was really surprised with the result! Yeah, Ill just tell you how it ended. For some reason, Ryuu won first place in the ten-years-old-below category. I was a bit disgusted because he won by a wide margin of the votes.

I designed Ryuus female clothing, but I didnt have much experience in makeup Thats why I used [Disguise], [Concealment], and [Multi-task] to calculate and apply his makeup from every angle. As a result, he became an absolutely beautiful girl.

Originally, his skin was already shiny because he used rice-bran soap like Triela and the girls. Once he put on the wig, he already became a completely different person. Plus his body hadnt developed yet, so no one would notice that he was a boy once he wore female clothing1.

And when the contest started, Ryuu caught everyones attention! By the way, Triela decided to become Ryuus attendant and didnt participate in the contest.

Even if Ryuus voice hadnt changed, someone would definitely find out his gender if he spoke. Thats why Ryuu curled himself up on the stage, squirming without saying anything. Even so, people mistook him as an unsociable beautiful girl who was being shy. He ended up receiving very high praise.

And then, Ryuu suddenly ended up winning. What an interesting result.

When I was grinning alone with the unexpected victory, Boman was running towards us at a very fast pace. Since he was a guy who liked conserving his energy, its really unusual seeing him like that. Just what had happened?

Triela, who is that girl from before!? Where did she go!? Eh, what? What happened? Tell me where did she go! Where can I meet her!?

Huuuh? No way, did this become something troublesome?

After listening to his explanation, it really was something unexpected. Apparently, Boman fell in love at the sight of Ryuu crossdressing2.

He was watching the contest from the audience seat, then he thought Ryuu was very lovely or something like that Sorry, it was a bit disgusting. Boman was acting really different from usual, too weird.

Boman kept giving praise to the mysterious beautiful girl, and Ryuus face paled. He looked so ghastly pale like he would collapse anytime soon Its okay, he wouldnt find out Maybe.

In the end, Triela told him that she made acquaintance with that girl by chance, so she didnt know her name. Triela also said that the girl joined the competition because she wanted to cure her shyness, deceiving Boman with a lame excuse. After heating that, Boman ran away to look for that beautiful girl.

Im sleeping in the same room with him. Will I be okay? I feel like my body is in danger3 Its okay, he wont notice anything. But if youre still worried, how about putting a partitioning screen inside the room? Ill do that If anything happens, you can just stab him with your sword. Ah, sword Hmm, to ensure your safety, should I give it to you after the harvest festival? Yeah, thatll help me calm down. Thanks, Ren. No, no. Ryuus situation has become serious, so Ill keep my promise and make sure to protect you. Sorry, please dont talk about that anymore Ah, okay.

After that, we went for a culinary tour with Triela and the others to pull ourselves together and went to see the music contest.

The music contest How could I say it? Its normal?

It wasnt like I never thought listening to music or going to shows werent interesting at all in my previous life, but I didnt want to do anything that would make me stand out in a bad way.

Such a troublesome thing happened. But then, the second day was tolerable.
