Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

2-I: Karnatia Seli Anabald (Adviser 3)

Adviser 3:

This is embarrassing.

From what I understand, I am now Karnatia Seli Anabald.

I am the daughter of a duke in the Analeit Kingdom.

So that explains the richness of the family I am in.

Though I am very bothered by the fact that I have to have maids to help me get dressed and bathed.

I am a man at heart, y'know?

Turning into a girl is bad enough, now having to be washed and dressed by maids is just humiliating!

I wish I could do things on my own again.

I have been trying to level up my [Appraisal] Skill as well, but it's not going well.

For one, just using it makes me feel dizzy.

Two, I have no idea if just using it is enough to level it up, since it is still at LV1.

Three, I don't know if appraising the same thing twice gives experience for the Skill and I have already appraised everything I could in the limited area I can go to, well, more like taken to.

I still haven't tried appraising people, out of fear that they can tell they are being appraised by a baby and freak out.

Overall, my new life, despite the luxury, is pretty difficult emotionally.

Girl, I am a girl now.

I am still hung up on that.

I am a man! Damn it!

How about my dignity?!

I remember how people teased me for not being into girls, I just offhandedly mentioned that I don't find girls attractive and they all get on my case for being supposedly gay.

I later convinced them that I am 'straight' by confessing to Wakaba, and in doing so, learnt that she is the legendary gamer, Skanda.

Not much happened between us after that, we just carried on as normal while knowing each other's secret.

Still, knowing that I was unknowingly being friends with a girl, I find myself not feeling much of anything when I learnt about that.

I am a man, right?

I know I confessed to her knowing nothing would happen between us, but she understood me the most, shouldn't I feel something towards her when I discovered our bond?

Am I actually not into girls for real, like, not just because I hadn't developed enough physically?

Now that I think about it, I found myself somewhat uncomfortable around boys sometimes.

Especially, when we were changing into PE uniforms in the changing room.

No no no.

I am a man, I just feel inferior to the others for being a late bloomer.

...Am I?
