Chapter 6 โ€“ When three coincidences overlap itโ€™s no different to fate

TL: Eevee

Ed: Hungry Panda

โ€œAre you sure that you arenโ€™t going to be carted off for lese majesty at this rate?โ€

That was what Minwoo, concerned, had said to Senyun when he saw her office. Her reply was, ๐—ณ๐’“๐šŽe๐š ๐’†๐›๐ง๐จv๐šŽฦ–.co๐“ถ

โ€œHmph.โ€

Whatever was on her nerves she just hmphed and continued to focus on Prince Clariceโ€™s magazine article. An icy treatment despite being the one who had called him over. Minwoo grumbled something about her personality having become even worse since the last time he saw her and threw himself down on the sofa.

โ€œOi. So whyโ€™d you call me.โ€

โ€œHmph.โ€

โ€œNo, donโ€™t โ€˜hmphโ€™ me! Why did you call me over!โ€

โ€œHmph.โ€

Senyun only twitched her legs that sheโ€™d been resting on the table, and continued to turn the pages. Minwoo was flabbergasted.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€

โ€œHmph.โ€

I havenโ€™t even said anything yet? Just as Minwoo was about the make a scathing remark, he turned his gaze downwards and smirked.

โ€œOi.โ€

โ€œHmph.โ€

โ€œI can see your panties.โ€

โ€œYou little!โ€

Senyun hurriedly pulled down her skirt and took her legs down. Having made the observation that her panties were surprisingly masculine, he shrugged his shoulders at the flushed, angry Senyun.

โ€œSo. Whyโ€™d you call me.โ€

โ€œYouโ€ฆ..โ€

Senyun glared at Minwoo before sighing, opened a drawer and took out a medicine bottle. When she slammed it down on the table it was filled with a suspicious green liquid.

โ€œWhatโ€™s that.โ€

โ€œMedicine.โ€

โ€œWhat medicine?โ€

Senyun gnawed on the corners of her lips. She glared at Minwoo as if her gaze alone would shred through skin and bone. Senyun finally opened her mouth.

โ€œHmph.โ€

Twitch. A vein bulged out on Minwooโ€™s forehead.

โ€œOi! Are you seriously doing this?!!โ€

โ€œShut the hell up!! I have nothing to say to you so why the hell are you still yapping at me?!!

Kwwarrr. A titanic clash of wills. Senyun, enraged was this close to slugging the medicine bottle away, but looking at the photo of Prince Clarice, grit her teeth and shoved it to Minwoo.

โ€œTake it.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t want to.โ€

A firestorm ignited behind Senyun.

โ€œYou wanna die?โ€

โ€œSorry.โ€

When he calmly took the medicine Senyun propped her chin up with her hands as if she was regretting something.

โ€œItโ€™s a supplement. Take it to His Majesty.โ€

โ€œSupplement?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s right..โ€

Minwoo looked down at the sparkling green fluid. It looked like poison no matter how you looked at it.

โ€œDid you really need me to do this?โ€

โ€œNeed?โ€

The corner of Senyunโ€™s mouth twitched upwards.

โ€œSays the person who kept on dicking around on our travels calling them quests.โ€

โ€œUrk! Th, thatโ€™s a heroโ€™s dutyโ€ฆโ€

โ€œYeah, yeah. This is a quest or whatever so bugger off. His Majesty will give you your reward.โ€

And calling up wind magic, she bundled Minwoo out of her office.

***

On the route to the kingโ€™s palace, Minwoo saw a familiar face.

โ€œClarice?โ€

โ€œHero-nim!โ€

Clarice, who had been on a walk accompanied by his servants, recognised Minwoo and approached him.

โ€œWhat brings you here?โ€

Minwoo brought out the medicine bottle and shook it.

โ€œI have something I need to give to the king. And you?โ€

โ€œWhat a coincidence. I was on an errand for Father as wellโ€ฆโ€

โ€œReally? What a coincidence.โ€

Thatโ€™s right. A coincidence

โ€” According to later reports when Minwoo interrogated the mastermind(=king), all of the following events were. all. a. com. plete. co. in. ci. dence.

โ€œKyaaa! Thief!โ€

That the thief that had been running away bumped into Minwoo was a coincidence,

โ€œEh? Whereโ€™s the medicine?โ€

That the thief had stolen the medicine from Minwooโ€™s hands was also a coincidence,

โ€œWind! Blow away our enemies!โ€

That the mage corps that had been chasing the thief had used wind magic at that particular moment to send the thief flying was a coincidence,

โ€œTh, the medicine!โ€

That the thief lost his grip on medicine bottle, sending it spinning through air and dropping it was a coincidence,

โ€œDamn it!โ€

That the fired wind magic just brushed the bottle out of Minwooโ€™s reach was a coincidence,

โ€œClarice!โ€

That Clarice just happened to be standing where the bottle fell was also a coincidence.

โ€”Later, the words that Minwoo said as he gave the mastermind(=king) a hiding were โ€œin the world I come from, we have a saying that โ€˜when three coincidences overlap that means itโ€™s fate.โ€™

โ€œWha, whaa?!โ€

The medicine bottle that broke at Clariceโ€™s feet erupted in green smoke, and covered Clarice without a trace. Everyone, Minwoo included, could only stare at the catastrophe that occurred with their jaws dropped.

Without even the chance to do something, the green smoke started to fade away. And Clariceโ€™s coughing shadow would be seen through the smokeโ€ฆ

โ€ฆโ€ฆ.Minwoo had an inexplicable bad feeling.

โ€œC, Clarice?โ€

Minwooโ€™s worried voice was shaking. His heroโ€™s instincts, honed over countless battles and tribulations, were shaking his soul and screaming.

That youโ€™re fucked.

โ€œHe, hero-nim?โ€

The oddly high-pitched voice sought Minwoo out. What was with this difference. Even if the Clarice he knew had a very fair voice it โ€˜wasnโ€™t like this.โ€™

โ€œCough! Hero-nim!โ€

A small slender hand emerged from the smoke. Minwoo took hold of that hand and Clarice, Clariceโ€ฆ.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆCla, rice?โ€

Minwoo murmured, flustered.

โ€œOh my! How on earthโ€ฆโ€

The servants covered their mouths, shocked.

โ€œHero-nim? Whatโ€™s wrong?โ€

Blink blink. Clarice looked at Minwoo with docile eyes. Following along with his tilted head, the brown hair that almost came to the waist flowed with the movement.

Even though Clarice definitely had short hair.

A perplexed Minwooโ€™s gaze went slightly lower. Clarice in Minwooโ€™s embrace. Between them, were things that should never have been there.

Breasts.

Breasts bigger than your average women, milk jugs, titties, bust, were squished up against Minwooโ€™s hard chest. A peculiar sensation that made oneโ€™s head spin.

Maybe, just maybe.

โ€œClarice.โ€

It couldnโ€™t be.

โ€œExcuse me for a sec.โ€

โ€œHiiik?!โ€

But when the forewarned hand made its way to Clariceโ€™s crotch and found nothing there. The face of the king laughing his ass off came to Minwooโ€™s mind.

Shit. I fell for it.

***

โ€œWhatโ€™s this?โ€

Clarice said after looking at his own face this way and that in the mirror that a servant had brought him.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€

Minwoo couldnโ€™t say anything. Because he knew he wasnโ€™t asking what the mirror was.

โ€œHero-nim. Was my hair always this long?โ€

Clarice fingered his now-wavy hair before looking at Minwoo with innocent eyes.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€

Minwoo couldnโ€™t say anything. Because he knew he wasnโ€™t really asking out of ignorance.

โ€œThese are some amazing breasts. Theyโ€™re really heavy.โ€

Groping the breasts that stretched and jigged, Clarice said, amazed.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€

Minwoo couldnโ€™t say anything. Because he knew that what Clarice wanted to let out werenโ€™t words of appreciation but screams.

โ€œHero-nim. Have I become a woman?โ€

Clarice reached his hand down to his empty crotch and smiled at Minwoo. It was a lewd act completely unbecoming of a prince, but there was no one here that would blame him for it.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ..โ€

And once again Minwoo couldnโ€™t say anything. Because he knew full well that Clarice was the one who knew the answer to that question the best.

โ€œHero-nim.โ€

โ€œMm.โ€

Clariceโ€™s smile split and cracked.

โ€œIโ€™m going to faint for a bit.โ€

โ€œWhat?!โ€

And Clarice blacked out.

TLN: Just remember this is a hobby project that Iโ€™m translating irregularly while I wait for TLEโ€™s fate in early-mid September. Even if Iโ€™m still allowed to translate TLE, I will be uploading chapters for this. However if not, then this will become my new main project while I look for something else as well. (This seems to be pretty short, seems like itโ€™ll end around the 30s-40s chapter range)
