Chapter 28: I'm Glad I Was Born a Boy
“Is the academy fun?”
“Yeah, tons!”
The air conditioning inside the car was aggressive. The moment the door opened, a cloud of vapor billowed out; I honestly thought they’d stuffed the place with dry ice.
Despite how it looked, it didn't feel that cold once I stepped inside. Actually, wait—why don't I feel cold when I can see my own breath? Inside, the seats were arranged to face each other.
A lady in a suit with white hair sat there, her back perfectly straight.
“Hello~!”
“Greetings, Young Master.”
Judging by her formal tone and the way she greeted me, she didn't seem to be one of Morian’s friends.
“Even if you’ve consumed a Thousand-Year Ice Essence, it’ll still be a bit chilly. Get that thing we bought yesterday. Hand it over.”
At Morian’s nod, the lady—who looked like a secretary—proffered a thin, windbreaker-like outer garment.
I began to seriously doubt Morian’s intelligence if she expected this thin thing to ward off the current chill. However, in times like these, one must always offer a thankful greeting with a smile.
“Thank you~!”
By the way, the effects of the Elixir I’d taken during our trip seemed quite potent. To think I couldn't really feel the cold even though it was freezing enough to see my breath.
“You’ll be surprised once you put it on.”
“Sure, sure. Huh?”
Just as Morian said, I was surprised. The moment I slipped into the windbreaker, the air around me suddenly turned warm. It was a change that defied scientific explanation.
Magic was incredible. Honestly, I was starting to have a very rational suspicion that science might be an inferior field of study compared to magic.
“Wow, it’s so warm now! Morian Noona~ thank you~!”
“Do you like it? It’s a gift. Keep it.”
Just by acting a little cute, I’d managed to get my hands on a windbreaker that definitely didn't carry a normal price tag. This was why I loved wealthy big sisters.
They were like a bottomless spring of wealth that gushed riches even without me having to shake my tail.
Anyway, unlike when she was with her friends, Morian was wearing a proper suit. Between the four or so unbuttoned studs of her dress shirt, I could see a glimpse of a purple bra that matched her hair color, but she didn't seem to care.
Personally, I preferred clothes that leaned into exhibitionism, but seeing her dressed up like this, she really gave off the vibe of an intellectual, beautiful Office Lady.
Actually, calling her just that felt lacking; her voluptuous body reminded me of a character from one of those smutty games I used to play.
It was truly wicked of her to tempt me with such a unfairly sexy outfit.
“Noona~!”
“Ugh…! Hey… I told you not to cling to me.”
The way the Snow Woman Noona glanced toward the driver’s seat, checking for reactions, was quite cute.
“I missed you sooooo much, Morian Noona! Why did you only come now~!”
She had breasts that justified enough confidence to become an exhibitionist. They were smaller than Mom’s, but they were large enough to be comparable, possessing a magnificent volume perfectly suited for harboring maternal love.
“Do you really like me that much? Honestly….”
Despite her words, the Snow Woman Noona slid her hands under my armpits and pulled me into a tight hug. Since I’d received so much from her, I could at least provide this much fanservice willingly.
A gender-reversed world where there was no reaction even if you touched a woman's chest was the best. The bra was a bit of a nuisance, but even that provided a different kind of enjoyment.
“Do you like Noona’s chest that much?”
“Yeah. When I lean against it, I can hear a thump-thump sound. Then, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy here, too.”
“Khhh….”
The Snow Woman Noona covered her face with one hand, looking like she didn't know what to do with herself out of pure happiness.
She was so easy.

I was curious about the details—how Morian worked, what kind of business she ran, how much wealth she had, how many siblings she had, how much influence she wielded in society, how much allowance and living expenses she’d give her future husband, and whether she planned on hiring a housekeeper.
“Kids these days are so interesting.”
However, since those weren't appropriate questions for a young child, I spent the time answering Morian’s questions about my private life instead.
“Su-yeon keeps making fun of me with her Omega Drake Secret Mode. I’m gonna scold her.”
“Hm? Didn't you say Hindel gave you something really nice last time?”
“That’s out of style! Nobody plays with that anymore! Except for Iris Noona!”
Morian nodded with a fascinated expression.
“Then, should Noona buy you one?”
“But that’s reaaaally expensive! Mom said she can’t buy it for me!”
“Ame said it was expensive? Just how much is it…. Look it up. How much?”
The lady sitting in the opposite seat began hurriedly tapping on a rectangular slab that looked like a tablet.
“...I believe I should ask the Young Master to confirm if this is the correct one.”
On the screen, the Omega Drake Secret Mode—the very thing that brat Im Su-yeon used to flex on me every single time—was shining brilliantly.
“...Wait, that shouldn't be that expensive even on her salary. Is this it?”
“It’s even better than the one Su-yeon has! It’s the Gamma Enhanced Version! It’s super cool! This one even makes sounds when it transforms!”
Morian stroked her chin as if deep in thought.
“Alright, then Noona will buy this for you.”
“Really?! Wow! Morian Noona is the best~!”
Im Su-yeon, you little brat. You’re dead now. Soon, I’ll get to see you sobbing after being defeated by my toy that actually makes transformation sounds.
“But you know there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, right?”
“Uuu… Yong-hwan is only five, so I don't know hard words….”
The Snow Woman Noona was starting to play dirty, trying to get something out of a kid.
“It means that if Yong-hwan wants this, you have to be good to Noona. If you want this veeeeeryyyyy expensive robot, that is.”
It seemed this wealthy CEO wanted to shake down a toddler. But considering I had no allowance and a mother who lied about not being able to afford dinosaur toys for her son, I had no choice.
“Yeah! Yeah! I’ll do it! I’ll do it! I’ll do everything! Buy me the Deluxe Gamma Version!”
“Hehe, alright. Then… if you give Noona a kiss right here, I’ll buy it for you.”
I was prepared to go as far as a kiss on the mouth, but Morian made a cute proposal, tapping her own cheek.
I immediately gave her a light peck on the lips.
Mwah.
“Eh?!”
“There, done! Now buy it for me!”
Morian covered her mouth with both hands like a virgin and turned beet-red. Well, just like my aunts, the default for women in this world—excluding that Sweet Simp Prosecutor—was to be highly capable but single because there were no "ideal men" around. So, she probably was a virgin.
“Yo-Yong-hwan! A-A boy shouldn't k-kiss a girl on the lips like that!”
“Huh? I do it with Mom every day, though?”
“That cop bitch is already raising him to be her husband….”
Kissing your mom should be common sense in this world, but Morian didn't have any brothers or sons, so she didn't seem to know.
“So you’re not gonna buy it? Even though I kissed you?”
“No, no! I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it! Ugh… my first kiss… gone without any atmosphere….”
With a face that looked like she was about to cry, Morian ordered the secretary sitting across from us to buy it before the filming started. This lady seemed like a good boss, seeing as she didn't delay the payment and got right to it.
Since the flustered Snow Woman Noona remained dazed and kept giving weird answers while touching her lips even when I spoke to her, I had no choice but to shift my target to the secretary.
“Hello, Noona!”
“Yes, Young Master. Is there something you need?”
“What kind of work do you do, Noona?”
The white-haired lady leaned down to match my eye level.
“I am Morian-nim’s secretary, and I also handle her security.”
“Amazing! So cool!”
Seeing her smile while covering her mouth, it was clear that the "cute and well-behaved boy" persona worked everywhere.
Well, except for that unpredictable, silent Siren lady, Yuseoha.
“Thank you. You are also very beautiful, Young Master.”
“Thank you~! Oh, about the Omega Drake Secret Mode Deluxe Gamma.”
“Yes, I believe I can purchase it immediately. Do not worry.”
The secretary kindly informed me that the item would arrive exactly on time. However, if I just accepted it so readily, it clearly wouldn't help my image management.
“Since that’s… really expensive…. You can just buy the regular version.”
The secretary’s blue eyes wavered.
“I mean, well…. I’d feel bad for Morian Noona if it’s too expensive. The Omega Drake Secret Mode is already expensive… I must be a bad boy… Th-that’s… also expensive… so… p-please just cancel it…. Mom said it was really expensive….”
I intentionally rambled, putting on my best performance of a young child struggling with guilt. I knew the toy was expensive. It was from a super robot anime that had been eroded by capitalism to the point of releasing five sequels because of its explosive popularity among kids.
But for someone like Morian, who owned at least a talent agency and a resort, it wouldn't even amount to a child’s pocket change.
“Fufu, Young Master. Morian-nim is wealthy. She can easily afford a toy like this.”
“But… Mom is the richest….”
I could almost see hearts in the secretary’s eyes.
“Morian-nim, what do you think?”
“...Hold on. I’m feeling dizzy.”
Morian, who was suffering from the collateral damage of my cuteness right next to me, was groaning in agony.
“Little Young Master, we can buy you something even better. How about this Dragon Version over here, which features a limited edition magic circle implementation?”
“Isn't that even more expensive?”
“Yes, it’s double the price of the one you wanted. For reference, that’s twice the price of the Gamma version.”
It was a price equivalent to the monthly salary of the ‘Sheep’ I kept at my workplace.
“N-No need to buy it! No need! It’s t-too expensive!”
“Argh, what am I going to do with this cutie! Noona will buy it for you! I’ll buy you two! Seriously~!”
Morian couldn't take it anymore and lunged at me. As she buried her face in my stomach and rubbed against me, I kept repeating, “It’s okay… you shouldn't….”
This gender-reversed world was turning out to be better than I thought.
Just you wait, Im Su-yeon.
