I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

60 – After Action-6

“Nice to meet you.”

I was lucky. I didn’t even think that Florence would be involved in this case.

Perhaps it was a natural thing.

Although her background is not bad, she is a woman who has not been able to find a man. Before she entered the Colosseum, she was no different from Florence.

“Uh, how… In a place like this…”

“I-I called you! You seem to be under a lot of stress lately, so I thought it would be okay to have you in a comfortable place like this.”

It was my plan.

Unlike the men of Selam or the Pungi Guard, these nobles’ motives were relatively pure.

I am moving to make the people around me jealous. Since they have nothing to gain, they become more jealous of those who have it.

Then, you just need to make something to protect. If you have something to look forward to, you will hesitate to fight.

“By the way, Miss Eleanor? If I remember correctly, I don’t think you used that tone of voice…”

“Please shut that mouth!”

Somehow the atmosphere was hideous, but it wouldn’t be a big deal. Rather, it was more important that things go according to plan.

“Pretty!”

Marie’s daughter, Mia, looked at the teacup with her curious eyes.

“There are six of us… Are there any seats available?”

“No, of course!”

Seeing the shameless-looking aristocrat embarrassed by my smile was quite interesting.

It wasn’t bad. Compared to Selam, it was a long way off, but it was a lack of conscience to want such a huge treat.

“Hey, how do you know this place…”

“Somehow, I had a chance to hear the name. At first, I didn’t feel good, but…”

The purpose should be clear. They did something wrong, and I have to say clearly that I was harmed by them.

“They’re Florence’s friends, right? Once, I wanted to see them.”

However, if you simply push for it, it will backfire. It is not something that can be solved by force.

If I try to press hard on their thoughts right now, those women will start harassing me in a different way.

So, we need to create hope. There must be room for reconciliation.

“I-I’m glad you came to visit us like this. We, too, were very sad that Evan-nim was being treated so terribly.”

“It’s terrible.”

You probably don’t know that the person next to me is a gladiator.

Maria, even though she has a body that looks a bit soft, you can’t miss Dana and Jerry’s muscles.

In order to prevent this from happening, there was no reason to bring them here, but it seemed that there was no particular effect.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to openly insult other gladiators in front of the gladiators, but I immediately started talking with the word ‘terrible treatment’.

Perhaps, this may be the result of her patience enough to endure in her own way.

“We will help. No matter how much debt you have, we can pay it off for you, or if you need a place to stay, we can arrange it for you.”

“No need.”

“Yes?”

Her expression distorted.

“Being a gladiator is something I want to do, and if I get in the way of this, I’d feel pretty… Bad.”

If I had come here alone, they would have united and made me a strange person.

However, there are not a few on my side. It wouldn’t be easy to whisper among themselves, and it would be difficult to create public opinion against me right now.

“Ha, but…”

“First, I’d like to enjoy the tea. It’s okay, right?”

She reluctantly nodded.

“Florence. What the hell happened to this?”

The head of the group, who took a moment to look at her and summoned her Florence, glared at her with her fiercest face.

However, Florence’s face was relaxed.

“So, do you not like it? Do you know how much this is worth in terms of money?”

“Awesome…”

Despite the well-prepared garden and tea party, it was a place that was a bit insufficient to satisfy the man’s endless desire.

“You don’t become noble just because you use an unreasonable classy tone.”

“I’ll take care of that with Evan.”

The noble lady gritted her teeth. As long as she had Evan on her back, no matter how she fought, she was bound to be at a disadvantage.

“Not too long ago, I dropped a dumbbell and almost got hurt, but he came running after thinking about it. Really, how kind of a person he is.”

“Damn it…”

Jealousy appeared in her eyes.

He said that there was a male gladiator, and when he volunteered to become a gladiator to follow him, all the women in this group worried about him. Or, criticized.

Even if there was a male gladiator, he thought he would be kicked out of Selam right away and forced to do vulgar work because he had no money.

The more such a person is, the richer and more powerful the woman will be.

I’d rather meet him as a young lady of a noble family. It was an outrageous act.

However, in the end, it was she who succeeded. She doesn’t seem to have entered the position of a formal lover yet, but considering the time she met him, it was understandable.

“Other men wouldn’t know, because I know Evan better than anyone else.”

The result proves everything. Even as a woman who doesn’t know much about men, more than once she succeeded, Florence was an expert who knew more about men than anyone here.

“Uh, how long do you think that momentum will last? At least you were kicked out of Selam…”

Her desire not to lose made her cross the line.

“That’s it. If you’re cursing him, I have no intention of putting up with it.”

The smile disappeared from Florence’s face.

“Even if I don’t apply for a duel right away, just tell him this and this place will be over.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“It’s about respecting each other. No, even if it’s not my lover… Any woman will get angry if the man who cares for and loves me is criticized.”

Nothing was wrong. The young lady had to bite her lips and accept her provocation.

“Rather, shouldn’t we be thankful for this situation?”

“How!”

“He came all the way here himself. No matter how much he likes sword fighting, he doesn’t have very high eyes when it comes to relationships with women.”

Perhaps, it was a dangerous statement that she might consider insulting the man she was dating.

Rather, that is why the aristocratic young lady could trust Florence.

“Then, really looking for a new girl…”

“Don’t you know? It’s not like I can know his heart, and I probably won’t know what he’s thinking about for the rest of my life. But, isn’t it a chance?”

There are many competitors. I couldn’t even prepare the captivating and extravagant clothes prepared for men.

However, I couldn’t say that this wasn’t an opportunity. Because the people here weren’t the ones to judge the quality or dignity of men.

“Well, is there really a possibility?”

“It depends on what you expect. He’s fair. He doesn’t care about the money or status of the girls he hangs out with.”

“Then… What?”

“Basically… It seems like you like people who are comfortable being with you. It’s more important not to do things you don’t like than to do things you like.”

The aristocratic lady let go of her anger and was listening to Florence.

It would not be easy to compete with those countless gladiator people.

However, I couldn’t give up this opportunity. If it was an opportunity to meet a man without spending a single penny, it was a fool not to try.

“Looks like you’re waiting for us. First of all, shall we go outside and talk more?”

“…I see.”

The aristocratic young lady reluctantly nodded.

“…Delicious.”

The nobles gathered here were desperately watching me.

Coincidentally, the table I was sitting at was just big enough for six people.

Even if the table is a little bigger, it seems that no one has the courage to speak alone with me in this situation.

Yet, this was not enough. I sent a signal by touching Dana.

“Aww…”

With a reddened face, Dana picked up a snack and brought it to me. I took it and ate it casually.

The cookies were delicious too… But just a little bit, her fingers could feel what it tasted like.

Do not open your mouth. Because I have to make this seem like a normal, very natural thing.

Dana’s expression was worth seeing. It’s not the first time, but it must have been the first time showing off our relationship in front of so many people.

However, she also needs to get used to it.

I enjoyed the gazes of the young ladies of nobles, who were slowly getting bitter with jealousy. Now it was time to move on to the next step.

“There seems to have been some misunderstanding… Between you and me.”

“That, what is that…”

“This time, there was a protest at the Colosseum, right? I heard that you were behind it.”

The noble ladies looked at me with bewildered faces.

“But, it can’t be. This kind of good people couldn’t have come to attack where I am. Right?”

Gradually, they broke down their logic.

Dana, as well as Marie and her daughters, Jerry and Florence, instilled the fact that ‘I like them’ through appropriate skinship into the aristocratic young lady.

Not only that. By properly showing the image of subduing the women around me, it made me question the hypothesis that ‘I am forcibly held in the Colosseum.’

I don’t know if they will really succeed, but at least they were shaking. This was enough.
