I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

9 – Selam-4

Life in Selam has never gotten used to. A few more days passed after that, but the bad feeling came true like a ghost.

Adrian was on the side of ‘good people’. Men with poor personalities, thanks to their distorted thinking, spit out words I couldn’t quite admit.

All I could do was shut myself in my room and read a book or have a small talk with Adrian.

There was no pain or hardship, but nothing enjoyable. Acquiring knowledge about this world by reading a book was a pretty good thing, but it wasn’t particularly enjoyable.

However, today was different.

“Would you really be okay with clothes like that? Borrowing my own clothes…”

“Hey, according to common sense, if I wear your clothes, will it fit?”

Adrian looked at me with worried eyes. To him, the clothes I was wearing seemed plain and plain.

Of course, compared to the long and beautiful clothes worn by other men, I felt a little embarrassed.

It was plain black fabric with a slightly stiff texture.

“Why, isn’t this okay too?”

However, it was enough for me to wear. In the first place, looking at modern people’s sensibilities, the clothes men wore here were a bit excessive.

Simple, patternless, modern clothes might be a symbol of modesty and poverty in this world, but in my eyes, they looked most wonderful.

“…I’ll make a suggestion to Selam. No matter how public you can rent, what if you bring clothes that no one will wear?”

“No, it’s really okay!”

Having never received a gift from another girlfriend, I had no choice but to wear the clothes that Selam had for public use.

“What can I do…”

Adrian stamped his foot, but I strode out of Selam, full of confidence.

“If it goes well, congratulate me.”

“To be honest, as a friend, I hope it doesn’t go well…”

“Hey, what are you talking about!”

I threw out my anger, but Adrian’s expression was very serious.

“That can’t be the case. There’s no way someone like a gladiator could have such a kind heart.”

“What?”

“If, it can’t be, she’ll just step out of her place if she really likes you… She’ll take care of it. For you.”

“I hope you don’t.”

Today was the day we went to the gladiatorial arena. The outing was waiting.

As I went out of Selam, I felt a refreshing breeze.

If you think about the botanical garden or the air inside, objectively, the air inside might be better than the dusty air in this city.

However, no matter how good the air is, if you can’t breathe, it means nothing.

“Are you here, Mr. Evan!”

“Yes. Let’s start right away.”

It wasn’t that Selam was not free to go out. However, in practice, there were limitations.

In this world, for a man to wander the streets was, at best, insensitivity to safety, and at worst, it was madness.

Unless the girlfriend had the wealth and power to send an escort, she had to get an escort service provided by Selam. And, it was done on a reservation basis.

I thought about going out without being escorted at all, but I didn’t even know how to get from here to the Colosseum. I couldn’t help but think that the road was dangerous.

As soon as the reservation was successful, I ran out with a lot of excitement.

“Goodbye, Adrian.”

“…Does it need to be that exciting?”

“Why?”

“It’s just… Going to meet a girl. Normally, I don’t think of it that well. I think it’s a duty.”

“I’m meeting because I like it, isn’t it natural to go out happily?”

Adrian paused for a moment. It seemed that he was thinking about the meaning of what I said.

“Okay, goodbye. Evan. I wish you success.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll come back successfully somehow.”

I got on the carriage that was completely blocked inside and outside that I rode when I came to Selam. The woman sitting next to her tying her own hands was hard to adjust to by any means, but it didn’t dampen my elation.

“Dana…”

The smile did not stop. The sound of the wagon wheels rolling on the ground was sweet.

Daisy, with her brown hair slicked back, was eagerly educating her staff.

However, the topic was ridiculously simple. Because it was just a greeting.

But the expression she was making was not funny. Daisy bit her lip hard enough to bleed, and she was seriously educating her staff on greetings.

“Hey, you. The thirteenth from the right! The angle is strange. Don’t look at me! Are you going to keep your head stiff like that even when a man is in front of you?”

“Sorry!”

“Leader on the left. Take good care of yourself. The first person Evan sees after getting off the carriage is bound to be you.”

“Okay!”

“Once in the morning, once in a group, and once before the wagon arrives, check your outfits. This isn’t just for the leader, it’s for all of you to listen.”

Daisy shouted in a loud voice, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“Of course, I will check as much as I can, but in the end, I have no choice but to check the details myself. Everyone understands, right?”

“Yes, I understand!”

Wondering why it was so loud outside, Dana sticks her face out to watch them drill, and she meets Daisy’s eyes.

“Sister? What is all this doing?”

“Prepare greetings. Evan-nim has decided to visit this gladiator arena tomorrow.”

“…Really?”

Dana’s face lit up. Daisy looked at her with her pity, then she reluctantly let out her words.

“Tonight, see me. I have something to tell you.”

Dana looked at the beer and snacks on the table and smiled brightly.

However, the look on Daisy’s face, who was sitting down first, was unusual. Dana cautiously sat down in her chair, and she spoke to Daisy.

“What did you call me for, sister?”

“Didn’t you say Evan was coming tomorrow?”

A smile immediately appeared on Dana’s face.

It was a romantic situation. It was Dana who experienced how erotic and tough his body was, with her body.

There was no way it wouldn’t be fun.

“I didn’t tell anyone else, but that’s… They’re coming to see you. They must have liked you.”

“Really? Really?”

It is definitely a good thing. It’s something to celebrate. However, Daisy’s expression was still dark.

“That, I want you to decline.”

Dana’s face froze.

Under any circumstances, Daisy took her side.

Although they weren’t real sisters, both Daisy and Dana considered each other like real sisters. If they congratulated each other on their happiness, they congratulated each other, not a jealous relationship.

“Why?”

The first day she saw him, he was like a dream to her. It was like a romance novel he secretly flipped through.

Romance novels used to be banned in the country on the grounds that they could “Instill a wrong perception of men and teach false s*xual notions.” Filled.

His appearance in front of her was nothing short of a miracle. Rescuing a man in danger from an urgent situation is every woman’s dream.

And what was even more unrealistic was that he wanted her.

Contrary to the hopes of gladiators and mercenaries, the man in reality was not interested in the woman who saved him.

He could have caught up with the woman who saved him saying that something bad had happened and treated him as a criminal. Ashamed that this had happened, he could have returned with an escort at a later date.

After that happened, the woman who rescued the man would end up in prison as a suspect in an assault or murder case. Sadly, it was a common occurrence.

Through all her miracles, he chose her. For Dana, this was an opportunity not to be missed.

“Do you know how talented a woman who wants to date a man is?”

“But, because he’s nice. It’ll be different…”

“It could be different. Surely, there was affection in the eyes looking at you. I’ll admit that.”

Surprisingly, Daisy obediently accepted Dana’s insistence. However, that wasn’t the end of it.

“Evan, you must be popular. Even if it’s not you, he will date another woman. Then, wouldn’t the gift she gives you compare with the gift you give?”

“Still, I earn a lot of money…”

“At least it’s just a gladiator.”

Dana was already earning a lot of money that an ordinary mercenary or low-class gladiator could never have imagined, but that was not enough.

“Even quite a few aristocrats say that you have to deduct the budget of your estate to meet a man once. Unless you are a merchant with a lot of money or a famous wizard, in the end you will be compared.”

Dana couldn’t even guess how much those people make. However, he knew that the world he lived in was different.

“And you. Can you spend all the money you earn? Then what about the orphanage you support?”

“That, except for that…”

“You know it’s not a problem that can be solved that way.”

Daisy let out a sad sigh.

“You might be happy right now. But, the more lovers Evan has, the harder it will be. His friends will also criticize him for why he met a gladiator… Why didn’t he meet a better woman.”

That was enough information to shake Dana’s heart.

It’s not that she’s despised and compared by her, it’s because she didn’t think about the fact that he could be despised and compared to her because of her.

“So, I’m really sorry to you, but just listen to me this time. If that person asks you if you would like to date… I hope you decline.”

The fire burning Daisy’s heart moved to Dana.

The fire burned their hearts again and again. Until only ashes remain.
