The brain is shaking!

【Please… truly love everyone you recognize and accept.】

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Su Mo tilted her head in confusion.

【Please… no, I beg you, love every person you come to recognize, regardless of race.

I will help you once, to ensure your progress goes smoothly.

So…

Really… I’m begging you.

—Edenia Beatrice Estelle】

After finishing those words, the little assistant’s voice completely vanished, as if it had ceased to exist.

“Wait! What do you mean by help?! And if I use my previous appearance, I won’t even be able to get close to the protagonist!

Also… that name you just said—was that me?”

Su Mo quickly asked, because what the assistant said made her realize the other party definitely knew something about her.

Even though that name wasn’t explicitly tied to her, Su Mo felt certain it was referring to her—that it was her name.

But she had no memory of it whatsoever.

Compared to what the little assistant said about loving everyone she accepted, Su Mo didn’t find that hard at all.

After all, that really was something she would do.

What gave her a headache was figuring out how to help Lofiel and the others while using her old appearance.

Would she have to become some shadowy mastermind lurking behind the scenes?

“Noah, young master, are you at home?”

Just as Su Mo was still thinking about all this, a girl’s voice came from outside the manor.

She instinctively wanted to respond, but immediately remembered that her current appearance had absolutely nothing to do with Noah Brandt, and quickly shut her mouth.

“I guess I’ll just have to play it by ear.”

Even though the assistant’s words left her feeling a bit unsettled, there was nothing she could do right now.

With a sigh, Su Mo gently placed the Fool’s Mask on her face.

The next moment, the pink-haired girl vanished from the bed, and a white-haired boy took her place.

“Ah…”

After turning back into her original form, Su Mo just sat there on the bed in a daze.

A few seconds passed, and then she suddenly clutched her head with both hands and shouted loudly:

“What the hell was that just now?! Why did I subconsciously make such girly expressions and gestures?!

And why did I say such embarrassing things without even realizing it?!

—Ahhhhh!!! My brain is trembling!”

Yes.

After becoming male again, the changes she hadn’t noticed before finally hit her all at once.

And as someone who always called himself a true man, discovering he had turned into such a girlish creature made Su Mo feel like he was dying of secondhand embarrassment—he already wanted to dig himself a hole six feet deep.

You mean that super-mega-ultra-universe-first-cutest-most-beautiful-goddess-who-turns-heads-everywhere-is him?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

To erase those shameful memories, Su Mo started slamming his head against the wall, and then his head popped right off his body, rolling all the way to the edge of the bed.

After changing back, his head had also reverted to its detached state.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above, Su Mo’s eyes went blank.

It was already this embarrassing with no one else around.

If anyone actually saw him like that, he’d probably just explode from social death on the spot.

“Edenia, huh…”

As his emotions gradually calmed down, Su Mo recalled the name the little assistant had said earlier, murmuring it softly.

“Forget it, there’s no point in overthinking this. Better keep this mask on.”

That horrible experience was something Su Mo only wanted to go through once, and besides, he had originally planned to act in this form anyway.

“So let’s just seal Edenia away. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I can’t let her appear again.”

Su Mo felt like calling the female version of himself “Su Mo” didn’t sound right, so to distinguish between his two identities, he decided to use the name the assistant gave—Edenia.

Even though he had zero desire to ever become that ultra-girly version of himself again…

Still, Edenia—powered by 80 patches—was definitely strong. At least much stronger than he was now.

That could serve as a trump card.

Next time, even if he transforms, he will absolutely restrain himself—he will never act so girly again!

‘I’m a manly man! I will NOT turn into a beautiful girl!’

Su Mo swore this to himself in his heart.

“Noah, young master, I’ve been calling you outside for quite a while, and you haven’t answered. I also heard some loud noises.

For your safety, please forgive my rudeness.”

At this moment, that girl’s voice had reached right outside the guest room door, making Su Mo remember that someone was still out there.

Judging by her words, it sounded like she was about to break in at any second—but right now, his head and body were still separated.

If she saw him like this, that would be true social death!

At this point, there was only one thing Su Mo could do—call out to his most trusted partner!

“Help me, Body Bro!”

At the critical moment, Su Mo’s body jumped into action.

With a loud “Bang!” from outside, the guest room door was violently kicked open.

But in such a short time, his body couldn’t possibly reattach his head properly.

So in a panic, his body grabbed the blanket and wrapped itself up, leaving only the head sticking out.

From the outside, it just looked like Su Mo was still sleeping.

“Noah, young master… are you alright?”

The figure entered the room, looking uncertainly at Su Mo lying on the bed.

Because of the frantic movements earlier, the blanket was draped sideways over him.

And right now, Su Mo’s head was facing forward while his body was lying face down—so it looked like he was lying there with his neck twisted 180 degrees.

“Ahahaha… it’s fine, it’s fine! I’ve been working on my neck flexibility lately—been practicing a long time, and I finally got it! Ahahaha…”

Su Mo clearly noticed this too, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he laughed awkwardly to explain.

“Is that so… and you dyed your hair?”

The other person didn’t seem suspicious, which made Su Mo breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe twisting your neck 180 degrees was normal in this world?

Su Mo secretly thought to himself.

“Ah, I just got tired of my old hair color, so I changed it. How does it look? Pretty good, right?”

The other person stayed silent for a moment, and just when Su Mo thought he had been found out, the girl spoke again.

“It suits you well, Noah, young master.

I came here to inform you that Princess Alice’s banquet will begin tomorrow night. Please make sure to attend.”

As the voice drew nearer, a figure entered Su Mo’s line of sight.

It was a girl in a maid uniform with long black hair. She wore red-framed glasses and lowered her head slightly, her golden eyes gazing at Noah’s face.

“This is the invitation to the banquet. Please keep it safe.”

She pulled a white envelope from under her maid skirt and gently placed it beside Su Mo’s head.

“Then, I’ll take my leave. Please forgive me if I disturbed you.”

The black-haired maid, named Aria, bowed slightly to Su Mo before leaving the guest room.

Now, once again, Su Mo was left all alone.
