Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 70 - THE MOST LIFE-THREATENING CONFESSION EVER

PHASE 70 - THE MOST LIFE-THREATENING CONFESSION EVER

“W-W-What? Of course, I’m not gay!” Eliseo managed to pull out his manly voice even if he’s caught by surprise. “Who told you that?”

“Some privates on my platoon.” The bald general retained his serious look.

“Hahaha! I’m gay? I’m gay!? That’s impossible! I have a girlfriend!” Eliseo said.

“Hmmm…” the general have this doubtful stare at his son.

Eliseo decided to move on with a forced smile on his face as he introduced his fake girlfriend. “D-Dad, this is my girlfriend Diana Solstice.”

“H-Hi, General Fontaine.” Diadem shyly waved her hand to the general.

“Oooooh~” Eliseo’s father was awed due to the beauty of my crossdressing twin. “You really have a fine taste with women, just like me!”

“Of course! Ahahaha…” Eliseo scratched his head as he continues to give fake laughs. Then he proceeded to introduce me and Rikkun. “We’re actually having a double date. Here is Tiara, Diana’s twin.”

“Nice to meet you, General Fontaine, ~” I made a smile as I shook his hand. His palms are rough, and it’s full of scars. This is telling us that Eliseo’s father has gone through a lot of battles.

“And here is my friend Alaric.” Eliseo held Rikkun’s hand as he raised it up high. Disgusted, Rikkun immediately pulled his hand out of Eliseo’s grasps.  

"I see… So you now have male friends. I was worried about you when you were in grade school because you only have girls as friends. I’m so glad that you have seen a bro.” The general was delighted.

Suddenly, Eliseo’s father stood up. “I feel like I’m interrupting you with your double date, so I’m afraid I have to leave.”

“B-But Dad…” Eliseo reached out his hand. “I thought you wanted to talk to me?”

“It’s fine.” The general gave the brightest smile that removed all sinister aura in him. “Now that I have seen that you have a fine girlfriend. I’m no longer afraid that you’ll turn the wrong way.”

“O-Of course, I will never go the wrong way!” Eliseo carefully rolled his sleeves as he showed his thin bicep. “I’m manly as heck!”

“I’m glad.” Eliseo’s dad smiled. And then the general gave out a calling card and the hotel card in which he is currently residing in. “Come visit me after your date and honeymoon.”

Hearing the last word made Diadem’s spine turn chillingly cold. “H-H-H-Honeymoon!?”

“Take care of your precious girlfriend. Cute girls are weak and fragile.” Eliseo’s dad continued.

“Y-Yes!” Eliseo smiled happily.

The threat to Eliseo’s life disappeared as his father walks away from the scene.

We continued eating wordlessly, not believing that we’re finally able to fool Eliseo’s father. It leaves a poor aftertaste in my mouth tricking a clueless person, but at least Eliseo won’t have to worry anymore.

Or that’s what we thought.

“The hotel card says that Dad will stay in Dradecim for two months,” Eliseo said as he stared at the evil card.

“W-Whaaaat?” I shrieked.

“Y-Yeah.” Cold sweat ran through Eliseo’s face. “So that means I have to act like a boy for two months…”
