The Main Character's Body was Taken by the Villainess.

"Young lady, did you really bathe alone...?"

"I'll be bathing alone from now on."

"Oh...!"

Belver responded to the maid, who covered her mouth in shock at seeing him emerge from bathing alone.

She seemed surprised that he hadn't received the usual bathing assistance.

For him, it was an unavoidable choice.

After Bellatrix left, some time passed before the maid came looking for Belver.

It was bath time, and she came to assist.

Bellatrix had certainly mentioned he would receive assistance.

At the time, he thought it would be fine since both bodies were female.

He thought they could get through it by keeping their eyes tightly closed.

But when the time actually came, he absolutely couldn't receive assistance.

Though the body had become female, his mind was still male.

He simply couldn't accept being bathed naked by a female peer.

Though he had plenty of experience being bathed, it had always been by the same gender.

"I'll be going now. It seems they're waiting."

"Yes! Have a good time!"

Belver headed outside the dormitory wearing neat leather shoes.

Though he felt like livestock being led to slaughter, he couldn't refuse to go.

He wasn't the one in charge—Bellatrix was.

His situation was that he had to go out when told to.

Before opening the doorknob to leave, Belver touched his mouth one last time.

Tapping his mouth confirmed he maintained an expressionless face, not smiling.

He couldn't count how much effort he'd spent the previous night correcting his habit of always smiling.

If he didn't consciously maintain an expressionless face, it would always return to a smiling one.

He hoped it wouldn't happen outside, too.

"You came? You were taking so long. I thought you were trying to make a spectacle of me out here."

"Bathing was difficult, so I was late..."

"Oh? You bathed? How was my body? Wait, when you say bathing was difficult, don't tell me you bathed alone?"

"Yes... Please don't say anything more..."

*Whoosh* Bellatrix, who had been grinning and teasing, felt like she could hear steam escaping from Belver.

He was so embarrassed that he hung his head low with his ears completely red.

Thinking this was troublesome, she took his hand and led him along.

She desperately held back from teasing him more, though she was dying to do so because he was insanely cute.

It wasn't good to stay long in a place with so many stares.

From the first day, there was enormous attention because Belver, with Bellatrix inside, had come to visit.

And in that situation, the person waiting was Bellatrix with Belver inside.

Moreover, the infamous Bellatrix was showing a flustered and shy appearance.

A stone had already been thrown into her plan to maintain her image in case they switched back.

"Who's that man?"

"I don't know, but he's quite handsome. So this is the young lady's type."

"My goodness. What in the world is going on?"

"Oh my."

Belver, being half-dragged along by Bellatrix, was having a miserable time.

People around kept talking as if he had fallen for her.

Though the person taking him was internally Bellatrix, outwardly it was a man—and his body at that—so there was no way he could have fallen for them.

He felt incredibly wronged.

It was frustrating that he couldn't speak up boldly.

He desperately wished this embarrassing and shameful time would pass quickly.

Then he realized that walking with Bellatrix would mean constantly receiving such stares, and his mind went blank.

He wanted to talk it over again and lock himself in his room even now.

When embarrassment exceeded his limits, he couldn't even maintain his expressionless face.

"This should be far enough. Now raise your head."

"Where are we?"

"I don't know either. Some kind of plaza? Don't you commoners know where this is?"

"Ah, I understand. This is the First Plaza."

"I see. Let's rest over there."

Fortunately, it was a place Belver knew.

It matched the background of the First Plaza he had seen in the game.

The location made sense too, being directly accessible from the dormitory.

Bellatrix led Belver to a bench.

Fortunately, few people were around since it was still early before the first period started.

In the dormitory, it had become a hot topic among female students because of the peculiarity of a male visitor on the first day.

Sitting beside her, Belver had an expression that perfectly embodied the word 'dazed.'

He was clearly unable to collect himself, looking around aimlessly.

She found it amazing how the same body could show such differences.

She had always appeared cold and rigid in the mirror, seeming likely to cut if touched.

But now Belver seemed like he would yield softly if poked.

Gone were the coldness and rigidity, replaced with an elegant and lively atmosphere.

How must he have lived for such an innocent maiden to exist inside such a sturdy man?

"Now snap out of it. Let's talk about my body, which you've now perverted-ly explored every corner of."

"Eek!"

Belver trembled violently, startled by the voice whispering in his ear.

How could he not be startled when a familiar voice whispered so sticky and suggestively as if blowing words mixed with air into his ear?

It was a voice that seemed to raise goosebumps to his toes.

He hadn't properly collected himself, but Bellatrix's words brought him sharply back.

Because it was a topic he neither wanted to hear nor talk about.

"How was it? Though small, a woman's body is soft, isn't it?"

"Wh-what are you saying...! No indecent talk! Don't say such things with my body!"

"It's my body now, isn't it? And what do you mean indecent talk? I'm just suggesting a legitimate exchange of information. Ah, should I go first?"

"Don't! Eek! Why am I so weak?!"

*Flutter flutter!* Belver frantically tried to cover Bellatrix's mouth with his small hands, matching that sound effect perfectly.

It was obvious she was about to say something indecent and improper about his body.

She would tease his body and mind with words.

Though he knew it was teasing, to his pure self, who had no resistance to such talk, it was like deadly poison.

So he tried to stop it.

Though it was futile with Bellatrix's weak body.

"It's incredibly big? And hard."

"Kyaaak!!"

"I'm kidding. Don't attack me so viciously."

"It really was a joke, right?"

"It was a joke, but the content was true? It really is big?"

"Th-this...!"

"Yes?"

"This is sexual harassment!!!"

Finally, Belver exploded.

Thank goodness there were few passersby and none nearby.

To others, it would have looked like Bellatrix shouting "Sexual harassment!!!" at some strange man.

Seeing Belver getting teary-eyed and breathing heavily again, Bellatrix decided to stop teasing for now.

If she made him cry here too, it would be absolutely irreversible.

From then on, she would never return to her original body.

Even if they found a way.

Never.

"Let's stop the jokes and talk about what's ahead. While waiting for my double major application to be processed, I've been thinking, don't attend any classes except the ones you take with me."

"Why?"

"You won't understand anyway. I'll teach you during that time."

"Ah. But I can understand?"

Belver tilted his head.

He was good at studying.

He knew this well himself.

Based on what he'd seen of the level in games and novels, he could reliably pass all exams up to graduation at this academy.

He also had more knowledge about magic than Bellatrix expected.

He knew at least all the magic and miracle usage methods implemented in the game.

She was offering to teach him because she didn't know these facts.

"Let's say that's true. I'm just saying this because I'm terribly anxious about leaving you alone. I feel like you'll ruin the image I've built up. Even if you're a commoner, you're my age, but you're so childlike."

"I'm an adult!!"

"A maiden suits you perfectly. Anyway, you'll be staying with me for a while. Now, let's go to my first period. Guide me to Training Ground 5."

Bellatrix stood up and headed toward the unknown Training Ground 5.

She who had considered physical labor beneath her wouldn't know about the required general education courses for the knight department.

She simply entrusted the guidance to Belver and went where her feet led her.

While ignoring the chirping of Belver beside her, protesting not to call him a maiden.

She found it cute that he kept insisting he was an adult man when he was clearly a maiden.

Though she didn't point it out to tease him, even when sitting on the bench, he had elegantly kept his legs together so the skirt wouldn't show anything and placed both hands demurely on his thighs.

Who in the world would think that person had been a man until yesterday?

"That's not it!"

"Oh? Thanks for the guidance."

"Just you wait!"

***

Having safely delivered Bellatrix to Training Ground 5, Belver walked around the area to regain his peace of mind.

After slowly enjoying the cool morning breeze for about 30 minutes, his mind gradually calmed down.

*Inhale* *Exhale* Just breathing in and out the clear, refreshing air brought peace to his mind.

How difficult it had been being teased by Bellatrix.

Though it wasn't entirely unpleasant since he felt cherished, the embarrassment was unavoidable.

She had kept teasing him in strange ways too.

"She keeps calling me a maiden. I'm so manly though."

Belver believed without doubt that he was manly.

It was a lack of experience and common sense from not having interacted with various people.

"Why are there so many people there?"

During his walk, he noticed people gathering at Training Ground 5 where Bellatrix was.

Why were so many people gathered where only training students should be?

Curious, Belver approached to watch along with them.

Arriving at a spot with a clear view of Training Ground 5, Belver walked straight toward the center of the commotion.

With a hardened expression.

"What do you think you're doing?"
