Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: The Zoo

|Author's note: Please vote for my novel, after all, I'm participating in the fantasy carnival. I don't really plan on winning or anything, this is after all only my hobby that I do. I do this for fun and to pass my time.

I also didn't notice the fact that my novel have 100 collections, thanks, didn't think y'all love being insulted by the protagonist so much, you masochists.|

Perseus POV

"Moms, where do you keep your makeup products?"

"Oh, it's in the...who the hell are you?!" Mom Rylee exclaimed

I already contacted Edward and he said that he'll check into it, I told him about my deal with the kraken and how I found out that some people killed her children, I didn't tell him about Lilith though.

But he probably heard it already from his networks, that I'm accompanied by a powerful demon, my family was flustered that I know such a powerful person at first, but as long as Leilah and Ruka's around, they'll be fine. It helps since Lilith rented a nearby inn instead to live at.

I tried the just a demon from Tehios but it seemed that they saw through me, so telling em the truth works since they don't plan on spreading it carelessly. And for now, I plan to sneak around to the southern continent in my disguise. Leilah and Ruka would have to come in disguises too.

But luckily with Lilith here, she can extend the range and I can just go with Lilith while the 2 stay home and make sure no one comes after my family. Though it's much to the displeasure of Leilah since Lilith might plan something and now she's written a 10 page document of rules.

As for me, you already know what I'm disguised as.

"Mom, it's my disguise, meet Persia Silver. Though on the outside I'm known as Persia Bellerose. "

"Oh...ok...wait no! How do you have breasts?!" she exclaimed and Mom Nyra walked in and saw my disguise too

That's your concern?

"It's called an illusion, don't worry, they're fake, anyway, I'm gonna borrow some to bring along."

"Is that my dress?" Mom Nyra asked

"Yeah, I asked you this morning that I'm borrowing them, remember?"

"I didn't think...you were into crossdressing." she sighs "So I didn't think you would actually use it...well I'll support you...no matter what you do."

"There's a theatrical play in a month that has a lot of nobles and people I'm looking for attending, they're looking for female ballet dancers, so it's easy for me to enter."

"Okay, since when did you learn ballet?"

"Yeah, and even if you do, don't the male and female role differ from one another?" Mom Rylee added

"I had a lot of times in my hands to learn many different and useful skills, look, I can also change my voice, ahem, hi moms."

"Woah, you sound exactly like a girl and it's super creepy." Mom Rylee replied

"Well I gotta play the part, and I'll probably have to stay over in their rented inn for a while, even though I don't really need makeup thanks to my much more superior skin, I need to have them at my nightstand just to make it more convincing when someone investigate my room or something."

I would just let them use their make up and let someone do it for me before the play, but I can't trust products in a nation that is clearly corrupt, what if they find me cute and put some drugs in the make up products or something, so bring our own should be good.

And if I do find the guys I'm looking for and confirmed that they know something behind the kraken and my accusation, I will kill them since I can get close to them.

*****

Leilah POV

I'm into men. I'm into men. I'm into men.

Lilith POV

I'm lucky that I swing both ways, he looks cute in that form.

Ruka POV

I can't believe that this guy was hot when he's fully grown and yet without an androgynous look, he can pull off being a woman, that illusion ability sure is useful.

Perseus POV

As I got out after I finished packing my stuff, the 3 girls are giving me this weird look.

"Why are you 3 giving me weird looks?"

"No worries, just so you know, I don't mind women." Lilith replied with a thumbs up

"Well, let's go to the southern continent, I need to see who was behind our accusation and this play is our easiest access to it, we get to see a lot of people as performers at such a big stage, it's one of the only times where commoners can talk with nobles normally if they have a good performance."

"Since I don't sense any magic altering that voice, it means that you practiced your vocal cords, since when?" Mom Rylee asked

"I don't just hole up in my room doing nothing, you know."

"Hah, last time I saw you were just lazing around and stare into space."

"I was trying to destress."

"Next you're gonna say that you're some sort of entrapped reincarnated soul from another world, look, before you go today, spend the rest of today bringing your brother on a day out, then you can leave."

"But-"

"But what?!" she glared "Lilith can wait, the audition is in 2 days anyway, spend today with your brother...in that form."

"Why in this form?"

"I find it cute, think of it as repaying for borrowing our makeup supplies."

*****

I apologized to Lilith since my mom is forcing her way for me to 'bond' with my brother, and my parents wanted me to bring him to a nearby zoo at this city that is about several km away.

I personally don't like the zoo since well, not all the animals here are staying here by choice. So it does remind me of the project that I was in since everyone is in captivity, most of which was against their will.

"You!" I heard someone exclaimed and I turned to see a familiar person.

It's Lloyd, the adopted royalty, why is he here?
