I Obtained the Final Boss' Power

Chapter 80 : Enrollment (1)

Enrollment (1)

The process of changing their identities went smoothly.

Louis and Rio had their places of birth altered, and even their birth parents' surnames transformed into those of different people.

By the time all the procedures were complete, the two could be born as entirely different people.

Louis Dexter, Rio Dexter.

The two were twins born on the same day and were the children of Permann Dexter.

Their father, Permann Dexter, had a happy marriage and married his wife early; even though his wife had once been a very young maid, she and Permann became a couple because their hearts connected.

A couple made for each other, gaining beautiful children.

Unlike most other nobles who used marriage as a tool for power—through arranged marriages or polygamy—their love was relatively pure.

Permann, who chose love over power, was the very definition of a man of fidelity.

He didn't care at all about his wife's unremarkable looks.

What a kind-hearted lord he must be.

Raised by such a father, the twins did not possess any sense of superiority over others.

The Dexter family. Could there be a more virtuous family than theirs?

"... That's the background setting,"

Louis explained to Silia, who had come to the Dexter domain.

Satisfied by the fact that all identity-changing procedures had been completed, Silia wore a pleased expression.

"With this, the enrollment preparations are finally finished. I've successfully infiltrated as well."

"I'm so relieved that we made it in time."

Silia, who had recently succeeded in getting hired at the academy under disguise, now could visit Louis under the pretense of scouting out good student candidates.

Currently, she was using the alias Talia Pronica.

Right now, Louis was wearing the academy uniform Silia had brought.

Dressed in the perfectly sized uniform, with his hair tidied up, Louis looked quite different from usual.

No one in the world would ever mistake someone who looked much like a model student for a soldier of the 7th Legion.

"The uniform fits me perfectly. Thank you so much."

"That's good. By the way, don't you think there's something strange about the background setting just now?"

Although Silia was happy about how Louis looked in the uniform, she asked with a bitter expression.

"What is?"

When Louis asked in confusion, Silia clicked her tongue and replied.

"Do you really not get it? How is the person next to you supposed to be your mother?"

Silia narrowed her eyes and glared at the person sitting next to Louis.

He was wearing the kind of pink hat that noble ladies often used.

The moment the hat was removed, a person with rather ambiguous features was revealed.

"Ah, hello..."

Rejir, having taken off the hat, introduced himself with trembling lips.

"I-I'm... the legitimate wife... Layla Dexter... of the Dexter family..."

It was Rejir who introduced himself as the main wife. Layla was just another alias.

The problem wasn't just that he was posing as the wife—he didn't look feminine at all.

"For the legal wife, your face looks way too much like a man."

"Yes... I get told that a lot. Because of that, I was bullied as a child for being ugly..."

Of course, all of it was a made-up backstory.

Silia knew that very well, too.

Still, even if it was fabricated, there were too many issues to count.

"Hahahaha! And this is supposed to be the lady of the Dexter family?"

Silia let out a hollow laugh as she scoffed.

"And what's up with your voice? It's so ambiguous I almost thought you were a man!"

"Well, because when I was little... I hurt my throat in an accident... ahem...!"

Clumsily acting, Rejir tried his best to use a feminine voice.

But his vocal cords just couldn't cooperate, resulting in a strange, irregular voice.

"And what's with your face? Did you just slap on some makeup and call yourself a woman?"

He'd tried makeup to emphasize his femininity somehow, but it couldn't conceal his masculine features.

If it weren't for the disguise magitech device he was wearing, he would have looked completely like a man.

"And for a grown woman, you have no curves at all."

"That's just how I've always been..."

Ah, from birth? Well, it's not impossible, I guess.

Silia thought so, but it was still just absurd.

"But can you really pretend to be a woman with just this?"

It was far too lacking.

Because there was no definitive proof of being a woman.

But that was solved quickly enough.

"Of course I can."

Suddenly, Rejir wore a sorrowful expression and spoke.

"I'm a eunuch... hnggggg...!"

Can a man who's lost his 'manhood' really still be a man?

On that point, Silia fell silent, deep in thought.

But the most dumbfounded of all was Louis.

How could anyone have thought up introducing this person as her mother?

"It's bad enough that I'm a eunuch... Why do I have to go along with such an act...!"

He sobbed, his voice tinged with anger.

Resentment toward the world that made him this way.

Yet there was no place for that resentment to go.

"Mom, don't cry."

"...!"

When Louis consoled him, Rejir's eyes grew bloodshot.

Every time he heard the word "mom," he felt a searing pain inside.

But it wasn't Louis who'd turned him into a eunuch.

"Young master..."

At that moment, Rio entered the room with a shy expression.

She, too, was wearing the academy uniform Silia had brought.

Judging by the Dexter family maids nearby, they must have helped her put it on.

"I changed."

Just like Louis, Rio looked like a completely different person in uniform.

Underneath black hair and red eyes, the prestigious academy uniform caught one's attention.

The perfectly fitted uniform accentuated Rio's waistline and emphasized her generous chest.

The exposed thighs under the short skirt, and the black stockings below highlighted the delicate line of her legs.

With Rio's composed face added to the mix, a beautiful girl exuding a protective innocence was born.

"Big Sis, how do I look?"

Rio asked cautiously, but Silia was left speechless, her mouth agape.

It was unmistakably Rio before her—those red eyes and black hair were proof.

But Silia, who'd seen Rio until now, felt an immense sense of disconnect in her mind.

"Are you really Rio...?"

Rio's uniform suited her so well, anyone would have said so at a glance.

Except for one thing.

"Are you really... the one who bathed in monster blood in the demon realm, pulls her sword first and asks questions later when upset, and hangs people's heads and their manhoods on the wall?"

Not only monsters, but even people—this monster of the 7th Legion drank everyone's blood.

That was the one thing that didn't match the Rio before her eyes.

"Do you not like it?"

"No, not at all! I never thought I'd see you like this again."

Silia sprang up and hugged Rio in her uniform.

It was an overwhelming gesture, so Rio recoiled.

"Big Sis, I can't breathe."

"Sorry."

At any rate, the preparations were complete.

The procedures and disguises for the undercover admission were perfect.

With the carriage arriving soon, all that was left was to board it on enrollment day.

"But how long do I have to live like this?"

Then Rejir asked in desperation.

He looked as if begging to be let off, but that wasn't possible.

"You can quit as soon as the academy infiltration is over."

"And when will that be?!"

"It'll take at least a year, don't you think?"

That meant he'd need to keep up the cross-dressing for a whole year.

Wait, it wasn't even cross-dressing, was it? He wasn't a man anymore, so was 'cross-dressing' the right word?

Either way, it was a gut-wrenching situation for Rejir.

"Damn it... If it weren't for you... If you hadn't cut off my manhood...!"

Rejir gazed at Rio with eyes full of resentment.

Rio was the one who'd made him this way.

But...

"That look really suits you. You're the best."

Rio paid no mind to his resentment, simply giving him a thumbs-up.

A puppet who played the mom role well.

To Rio, he was nothing more or less than that.

"You crazy brat! Do you call that encouragement? Because of you, I became a eunuch!"

Rejir exploded in anger, but yet again, Rio just responded blandly.

"Isn't it a good thing? Your one arm was no use in combat so you were shifted to supplies and then got this new post. You should feel honored."

"......"

Even trash was helpful in this way, at least.

That was the gist of Rio's words, and Rejir's eyes lost focus.

At the same time, Louis's energetic cheer rang out.

"That's why you have to cheer up! You can do it!"

"Yeah. Mom, be strong!"

Louis and Rio cheered him in unison.

And Louis's singing followed.

"Mom, cheer up~ 'cause you have us~"

All together now!

[Mom, cheer up~ because we're here~]

"I love you, mom."

"Love you~"

Rejir collapsed on his feet, beyond just having his spirit broken.

Silia gazed at him pitifully, but soon dropped her sympathy.

Four years ago, before he was captured by the 7th Legion, the wrongs he'd committed were innumerable.

He had basically turned the Dexter domain into a mess in league with demons.

He'd even had countless affairs and took no responsibility for any of them.

'The Imperial Court found out quickly once they investigated.'

He was a piece of trash unable to control his desires.

Losing his, ahem, important part was practically a 'purification'.

'The power of the Imperial Court is really incredible.'

Lord Dexter's influence alone couldn't manipulate information to this extent.

But behind Louis and the special task force stood the Imperial Court.

With just a little maneuvering from them, Rejir could be made into a woman, and Louis and Rio could become siblings.

Thanks to that, information might have leaked inside the Imperial Palace.

But it didn't matter.

It would only flow into the bellies of allies anyway.

And soon, a carriage arrived at the mansion's entrance.

****

A luxurious carriage crossed the edge of the forest. It was large compared to carriages used by regular nobles.

Just from the gilded corners and the splendid white horses, anyone could tell it wasn't simply a noble's carriage.

Knights on horseback accompanied it on all sides.

A large force of soldiers followed, guarding it with airtight security and keeping pace.

"We're almost at the academy. But are you sure you want to stay there?"

A girl sat in one of the carriage's seats.

Opposite her, her escort knight, Rubik, asked.

"I heard rumors that my brother, the Crown Prince, went into hiding there. It may be dangerous, but if you're to catch him, you'll need my help."

With golden hair and blue eyes, she was the Princess, Estelle, of this empire.

After the Crown Prince was deposed four years ago, the Imperial Court lost a royal family member.

That was why all eyes were now on the remaining Princess Estelle.

She was the only one who could inherit the throne.

It was important for her to improve her abilities for that reason, but helping those who had helped her was even more important to her.

"What did you tell the academy?"

"Just as you ordered, only high-ranking staff know that the Princess is visiting for an inspection. No one else knows."

"Good work."

Satisfied that everything was in order, Estelle smiled.

It wasn't just the smooth procedure that made her smile.

"I'll be able to meet her again now."

The black-haired girl who saved her that day.

She would be able to reunite with the girl destined to become the 'Demon King'.

I don't feel pity for Rejir at all....
