I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

65 – After Action-11

“Good work, I have nothing to say… I should have taken care of this on my own.”

Daisy hung his head, speechless.

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s almost finished now, right?”

Protesters who had not yet left the scene remained, but their eyes had lost their energy and energy.

The audience at the Colosseum, who had gradually become accustomed to their woes, were now coming here as if nothing had happened, let alone being surprised or reluctant to see them.

“Well, most of it seems to have been sorted out. Thankfully.”

However, I didn’t spend that much time looking at them. In the worst case, it wouldn’t be strange if a protest was taking place away from me.

But it didn’t even look like that. I let out a sigh of relief.

“But, well… I haven’t done much.”

It was I who came up with the plan to convince the noble women, but Florence helped a lot in the actual battle.

It would have been much more difficult if there hadn’t been an intermediary to make things smooth between them and me.

“Are you still meeting with those people? Those, nobles.”

“I made an appointment once. Well, it wasn’t that boring.”

Feeding my daughter-in-law Marie something delicious, and sometimes going into such an airy space could be a change of mood.

In a situation where they couldn’t see their faces, they couldn’t bear to curse at the things I like in front of me.

It wasn’t that there were still people who looked at me kindly, but it was a minority. If you keep going there, they will eventually change their gaze.

“In Selam… Well, Adrian came to see me first. I couldn’t even do anything.”

I could have been a little more nervous. Because there was someone who cared about me, someone who told me that my choice wasn’t wrong.

In order for Adrian not to regret it, I had to survive safely. As much as possible, I had to succeed as a gladiator.

“This is how the relationship continues.”

“It would have been nice if we had met in a slightly better situation.”

Well, it was self-employed. It was the same for me and him, waiting for each other’s contact without contacting each other.

Still, the fact that he was living well did not change. If it was something to be relieved of, I wouldn’t know, but it wasn’t something to be sad about.

“Actually, I tried to contact the Pungi Guard once, but… I couldn’t really understand them there.”

I thought that I was different from the ordinary men in this world. There was a strange sense of superiority.

It’s too embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but compared to other men, I thought that I wouldn’t show it even if I was ‘fairly treated’.

“…Those humans are invisible people. There are not a few men behind them, so they may be more difficult to deal with than Selam.”

“Is that so?”

“Because the men from Selam are rooting for their actions. The real powerful ones who are old and well-established.”

“Whoa…”

Come to think of it, in the end, Selam’s men were just ‘young people’.

With the expectation of meeting a better woman in their arms, they are fighting each other and competing.

“…Daisy. Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“If he, in general… A man who was unsuccessful, what kind of life would he lead?”

Daisy frowned.

“It’s a difficult thing to find easily. Even if I know the man well in this Colosseum, I’m far from objectively lacking… It might be better to ask Miss Florence.”

I nodded. She only had a lot of experience meeting women who had ‘met men’, and even with the title of successor to the Colosseum, she was a little short of meeting men.

No, given her wealth, she might have been able to join the competition somehow.

But she didn’t seem to like it either. She seemed like Daisy too, she wanted a life she lived for herself, not for something else.

“Still… To the extent I know, it is said that men with extremely bad luck sometimes get married as if they were being sold.”

“Really?”

“Usually … When she’s old enough, but the family of the woman she’s dating falls, or when she herself gets involved in a crime?”

In the eyes of others, it’s just the sound of being full.

But even there was competition. Not everyone enjoys a happy and comfortable old age.

“Hmm…”

These are men worthy of looking after the Punggi Guard. Not only is he not one person, but he must be someone who can establish a position and exert influence.

“Things won’t be easy.”

“These are not people who can be won by fighting or persuading. Just like a natural disaster, waiting to pass.”

“If that side doesn’t give up, what are you going to do?”

“It doesn’t happen once or twice, and I’ll stop doing it in moderation. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“…Why?”

“That’s right, the enemy of the Pungi Guard isn’t just the Colosseum.”

I paused and pondered her words.

“No way, are you doing this sh*t all over the place?”

“Of course. Plays, novels, songs and paintings… It was a bit noisy not too long ago because of the banning of one painting.”

“A painting?”

“What… Was it a painting?”

Daisy bit her lip.

“Well, it’s erotic, but… How should I explain it?”

She lowered her head for a moment, then explained the incident as easily as possible for me to understand.

“In general, exposure of men is not allowed in paintings, but I tend to be a little more considerate when depicting the contents of myths or events recorded in history books, right?”

“I see.”

“However, they broke the precedent. They banned the painting in which the man’s collarbone was exposed, and arrested everyone who had the original as well as the copy of the painting.”

“Can you take whoever you want?”

“Basically, all media that dealt with men is a gray area. If it’s like the moral guards, they tend to have the legal authority to catch them.”

Somehow, I couldn’t understand the language, was he a person who could do anything he wanted?

Well, then it couldn’t be helped. As she said, we have no choice but to wait for the storm to pass.

“Looks like you gave up after all.”

“Giving up. It’s just waiting for the right moment. Because there are so many filthy and filthy things in the world, and the manpower of the moral guards is limited.”

The fact that the security forces were involved in the protest was something that the head of a group could not easily say, no matter how public it was.

Even more so, especially in front of the princess, Iris.

She was deeply involved with the guards and was ready to arrest anyone at any time if any illegal activity occurred.

However, Iris couldn’t do anything except bite her lip.

“The person who will become the princess’s husband believes in us, but we can’t easily turn our backs on him. We just thought that right now, as protesters, there’s no benefit to be seen.”

The number of men who look after the Punggi Guard has increased by one. It wasn’t anyone else, it was her lover.

“Aren’t you nervous? Last time, it seemed like you were taking a young and pretty child…”

Iris bit her lip.

“He has no intention of interfering with her relationship with a woman.”

Her words were true, but she wasn’t unfazed.

Whoever Logan met was her freedom, but no matter how much, Iris is the Crown Princess.

She didn’t live in the imperial palace, she had her own mansion, but even so, the owner had to be her. Not Logan.

If she had known, she would have been less agitated, but her ignorance meant that her security was at risk.

“…”

I had no intention of blaming the workers. If Logan had instructed Iris to hide the fact that women were in and out of the house, she would have ignored the order and no one would have been able to tell her the truth.

Even if the truth came out, Iris couldn’t afford to defend her whistleblower from Logan’s clutches.

“I’m cautioning them so they don’t get presumptuous. But… You’d better be careful. It’s never good for the Empire that Logan’s favor is directed elsewhere. “

Not all couples necessarily love each other. She didn’t need much relationship to bear children, and as long as she gave birth to a few imperial heirs, he would be free.

However, there must be a minimum of bonding and sociality.

No matter how much you fight each other like killing each other, you have to look like a real lover in an official setting.

“…I’ll be careful.”

Actually, Iris gradually said, ‘Is that something to be so angry about?’ She even got to the stage of questioning what she did.

She couldn’t understand Logan’s anger. It was hard for her to comprehend her contempt for her, or her resentment towards him.

Even though she and him lived closer than ever, Iris felt that her relationship with Logan was far removed.

‘…Was this enough?’

Fatigue, rather, allowed her to see her situation objectively.

The world seen through eyes that had lost their passion was so cold and relentless.
