Chapter 333 : The Return Of Mary
Maya took me to a room with a dressing table and a huge mirror and forced me to wear Liane’s old dress. She then made me sit at the dressing table
「Stay still. I’m gonna do your makeup.」(Maya)
「Umm… We’re just going to show how I look in a dress, right? I don’t think we need toー」(Mark)
Maya glared at me before I finished talking.
「You idiot. We’re going to convince Liane-sama if you can join the mission. I don’t think we can do it if we don’t go all out, so stop talking and face the mirror already!」(Maya)
「Ugh, alright…」(Mark)
She’s right. I almost forgot that I had to convince her first.
I should be more worried about that than the actual mission.
「By the way, I heard from Tryon-sama that he asked you to be friends with Liane-sama.」(Maya)
「Ah, so you knew. Yeah, it will be difficult, don’t you think? She hates me after all.」(Mark)
「Well, whether you can be friends with her depends on your effort, but I don’t think you need to worry too much about her feelings toward you.」(Maya)
「You think so?」(Mark)
「Yeah, I think she will change her thoughts about you because I’ll make you look super cute!」(Maya)
Saying that, Maya grinned mischievously at me as she took out the makeup tools from the drawer.
I wanted to run away so badly, but she would definitely kill me. I had no choice but to stay still until she finished doing my makeup.
Celine said she used to dress like a barbarian back when she was an adventurer, but her work was very delicate and careful as if she had years of experience working in a beauty salon.
That’s a super maid for you.

After Maya finished dressing me up, she took me back to the dining room where everyone was waiting.
I passed a few servants on the way, but they didn’t look like they were making fun of me at all. They bowed at me politely as I passed in front of them, but still, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The strange feeling of openness between my legs was bothering me so much.
As soon as we arrived, Maya knocked on the door and entered the dining room.
「Everyone, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. He’s ready.」(Maya)
Feeling nervous, I spontaneously hid behind the door.
Honestly, my heart is not ready. This is so embarrassing…
「Mark-sama, what are you doing? Come here and show yourself.」(Maya)
「Ugh…」(Mary)
Maya, who had switched into the ‘maid mode’, beckoned me.
I felt a lot of pressure coming from her. It seems that I have no choice but to give up and do what she says.
As I made up my mind, I stepped forward and entered the dining room.
I heard Liane’s voice as soon as I entered the room. I couldn’t hear what she said very well, but I think I heard the word “angel”.
She made eye contact with me, but then she immediately looked away. Her face was as red as a tomato for some reason.
「Oh, Mary-chan, it’s been a while! I’m happy to see you again!」(Tryon)
Tryon raised a thumbs up and smiled at me.
I never thought I would show up as Mary in front of this man again.
「Whoaa! You look so cute, Mark! ーNo, Mary-chan!」(Ester)
「Ara ara~ Look at this pretty young lady! Seems like Maya has done a great job!」(Celine)
「Mary Onee-chan’s so cute~!」(Nicola)
『But of course, not as cute as me~』(Nicola)
『Yeah, yeah. And don’t call me Mary onee-chan.』(Mary)
『Got it, Mary onee-chan~』(Nicola)
『…….』(Mary)
I thought they would make fun of me. Well, Nicola did, but the others looked genuinely impressed, especially Ester.
I don’t know if I should be happy or not with that…
「Liane, what do you think? I don’t think there will be a problem if he joins the mission like this.」(Tryon)
「…….」(Liane)
「…Liane?」(Tryon)
「ーEh!? W, Well… Not bad. Not bad at all. I don’t mind if he joins us.」(Liane)
Liane acted kinda strange somehow.
She talked with her father while occasionally glancing at me with her bright red face.
What’s with that red face? Is she mad at me?
Or…..
No, that can’t be…
「A, Anyway, we’re done, right? Then I’m going back to my room. Have a good day, everyone.」(Liane)
She stood up from her chair and hurriedly headed for the door.
I heard her murmuring to herself as she passed me.
If I heard it correctly, she murmured, “He’s a male and he’s a wall… He’s a male and he’s a wall…” repeatedly.
I know she’s talking about me, but I don’t understand what she means by ‘wall’.
Is she going to punch a wall while imagining that it was me?
Ugh… She’s so scary…
After Liane left, Tryon turned to Celine with a serious expression.
「Miss Celine, I should have asked you this sooner. Since you are Mark’s guardian, do you agree if he joins the mission? It’s a risky mission, so I think he needs your permission.」(Tryon)
Celine is not my parents but she is like an acting guardian for me and Nicola until we get home, so Tryon’s right. I need her permission.
When I glanced at her, Celine smiled at me and replied to Tryon.
「Lord Walltrail, I know what he is capable of. He will surely be able to protect himself and Liane-sama from those thugs. Right, Mark? ーAh, I mean, Mary~」(Celine)
「Ugh, you don’t need to correct it.」(Mary)
「Hahaha! I see. Well then, Mary-chan, would you join the mission and save my people?」(Tryon)
「Yeah, of course.」(Mary)
「Great. I’m going to talk about the mission with the guards. Maya, do you know where Morrison is?」(Tryon)
「I believe he is in his office at this hour. Shall I call him?」(Maya)
「No, I’ll head there myself.」(Tryon)
「Then, let me accompany you.」(Maya)
「Alright. Everyone, I’ll be off for work now. I’ll contact you as soon as we’ve made our arrangements, so please wait in this castle and don’t go outside today.」(Tryon)
「Understood.」(Celine)
「Ah, and, Mary-chan, we’re done for today, but you mustn’t take that dress off for the rest of the day.」(Tryon)
「Eeehh!?」(Mary)
「Fufu. I agree with Lord Walltrail. You better get used to wearing a dress. After all, you may fight some enemies while dressing like this. You don’t want to trip and get killed, right?」(Celine)
「Exactly as Miss Celine said. Well then, I’ll see you guys later.」(Tryon)
After waving at us, Tryon left the dining room with Maya.
So… I have to keep dressing like this for a while…?
Ugh… please give me a break…

I know Mark is a better person than me but I I’d be building some fierce resentment from this treatment. Get some petty revenge later, like refusing to feed them, or not allowing entry to the camping house. He won’t of course
To be fair it not their fault, it’s that noble father who start it lol
And that noble father will say it’s all for his daughter’s sake anyway, so the best you can expect is Mark getting suitable compensation for his embarrassment. I hope he won’t become one of those okama guys when he grows up.
That’s a lil kid tho~?
I’ll just shrug that tbh~
