Wrong Genre! - Chapter 28.1
Rueg hurried over and grabbed Yuri’s arm. At that moment, he saw something like a black haze rising from Yuri’s body.
‘What is this…?’
The energy gave off an inexplicable sense of rejection. It felt as if it were gripping Yuri’s throat.
“Haa, huuk…”
Just then, Yuri, gasping for breath, tore open the buttons that had been fastened neatly all the way up to her throat.
As if struggling to breathe, Yuri’s collar fell wide open, and Rueg, shocked, hurriedly grabbed it closed.
…Is she trying to get exposed as a woman right now?!
“Y-You can’t do this here! Y-You’ll be found out!”
At the alarmed voice, Yuri’s blue eyes turned toward Rueg.
But instead of speaking, she only continued to gasp for air.
What should he do?
After a moment of hesitation, Rueg clutched the front of Yuri’s clothes and said,
“J-Just hold on a little. We’ll go to the infirmary right away and—!”
“No, don’t…”
“……?”
“The bath. Please… take me to the bath.”
“The bath? No, why the bath…”
Rueg faltered, his lips parting. Yuri was drenched in cold sweat, yet she was asking for the bath instead of the infirmary.
Could she be delirious from the pain?
Various thoughts crossed his mind, but in the end, Rueg nodded and supported Yuri.
If she was asking to go to the bath in this condition, there had to be a reason.
Struggling as he held Yuri up, Rueg headed straight for the communal bathhouse in the palace where the dormitories were located.
On the way, pained groans escaped Yuri’s lips, but at some point, her breathing steadied into harsh pants instead.
“Huuuuk…”
But there was another problem.
‘Which one should we go into?’
Rueg stopped in front of the men’s bath and the women’s bath.
Considering Yuri’s actual gender, she should go into the women’s bath. But naturally, he could not enter the women’s bath himself.
As he hesitated anxiously, Yuri immediately turned her body toward the men’s bath and said,
“For now… it’s fine. There shouldn’t be… anyone inside…”
As Yuri spoke through heavy breaths, something black suddenly dropped from her mouth. The strange dark substance evaporated the moment it touched the ground.
‘What in the world was that…’
While Rueg was still processing what he had seen, Yuri staggered toward the men’s bath.
Not even having time to question the black aura, Rueg followed behind, watching Yuri’s complexion as he spoke.
“E-Even so, if someone sees you going in, they might misunderstand…”
At Rueg’s worried voice, Yuri lifted the hand that had been resting on his shoulder and covered his mouth.
“Please… be quiet for a moment. My head is pounding.”
“…I’m sorry.”
Had he been too noisy in front of someone who was sick? Lightly slapping his own lips, Rueg quietly looked around.
“Th-That’s a relief. There really isn’t anyone inside.”
Rueg spoke in a lowered voice, but suddenly Yuri began unfastening the buttons of her top.
“Y-Yuri?! A-Are you crazy?! W-Wait a second!!”
You’re a woman! Why are you taking your clothes off in front of me?!
While Rueg stood there in shock, Yuri finished undoing her clothes, removed her top, and immediately threw herself into the bath.
“…Aaaah!”
Splash!
With the sound of water, Rueg let out a scream and quickly covered his eyes, turning his back.
No matter how close they were, how could someone take their clothes off so casually in front of a person of the opposite sex!
For a while after that,
The water that had been sloshing gradually settled, and the only sound left in the bathhouse was the draining water.
“Y-Yuri…?”
Suddenly feeling uneasy, Rueg swallowed hard.
Now that he thought about it, Yuri hadn’t even been able to support herself properly. What if she had lost consciousness the moment she entered the water?
“Yuri!”
