Expressionless Awakener

Chapter 34: A Random Drag-Show.

[ Expressionless Awakener ]

Pink lights shined and flicked through the stage, Confetti shot in every direction, and gazes that could feel even without seeing the audience....
....While I, Stood on the stage with the other contestants, Covered in a blanket while drooping in gloom.

'What did I do to deserve this...?' I thought in a straight face.

The "Second" Game was just some drag show for a theme of opposite genders, Where men wear women's clothes and women wear men's clothes.

Women have a higher chance of winning while men have a lower chance of winning the game.
Because of their high structure and their masculine faces, They'd be hard to dress as the opposite gender, while as women have a structure perfectly fit for an idol as long as they have the make-up.

But I, Myself, Have a structure almost like a young girl, Of course as long as it has make-up.. I honestly don't know how I was born with this body.

[ Let us uncover our first contestant.... Micheal Lorn! ]

'The second protagonist..!?'

Suddenly, the laughter of audiences appeared louder as the blanket that covered Micheal was snatched away by the two students that gripped him.

[ "Uh.... Hello everyone..." ] A ringing sound appeared vividly loud as micheal spoke through the mic.. while in a disappointed, gloomy, and sweaty-kind-of expression.

From what I've heard, He was wearing a pink crop top with a short-sized skirt, Along with a medium-short pink wig that doesn't match with his browny-blonde hair.
I also heard that the make-up didn't fit him very well... So much, that the audience laughed as they took pictures of him.. apparently humiliating him in the process.
There were also some audiences that were disappointed from the first contestant, Since the outfit didn't match him at all while his masculine face was shown clearable.

I was honestly relieved and glad I wasn't at first but...

'Poor Second protagonist... The people who dressed and made him get dirty...'

There weren't a lot of people that were professional in make-up, and there were only a few that were hired during the second game... So there were often students that took part in doing make-up for the contestants.

Luckily, The professionals that I was assigned to, Even the supporting character; Lusian luien, were quite good at the make-up they put on me, Though I absolutely didn't want to get involved in this... it's kinda weird whenever I feel the foundation and the lipstick they put on my face.

I sighed as I felt my humiliation turning into discomfort, A continuous sweat pouring down my forehead like I was nervous.. Or is it just the blanket that made me sweat from heat?

'....'
'Should I call myself a therapist after this...?'
I thought expressionlessly.

Lilac wavered her hands on the air as she introduced the contestant Micheal Lorn, giving a smile so gentle and energetic.
[ Now... Let us uncover the rest of the other Golden Grace Contestants! Meet...... ]

[ Allen Krain and Raze loir! ]

'!'

Suddenly, The crowd once again, Laughed and took pics and videos as the blankets once again got snatched away, Clapping utmostly while giggling.

The name Allen Krain was the first time I've ever heard of... I know it's a character part of the novel; Novel reincarnation... But I just can't help but forget the descriptions or characteristics of the character.. Even forgetting the whole entire lore about him.
He wasn't really that famous in the novel so i barely noticed him much while reading.
