The Male Lead Knelt Before Me

“Kuck!”

The mushy touch on the tip of my toes is unpleasant.
I belatedly realized that I had kicked the man’s centrepiece.

But, well, I thought it didn’t matter because in the first place my purpose was to chastise this molester.
It was rather efficient.

‘People say there’s a law that says revenge is an eye for an eye.’

So I need to pay him back for what he did.

The man gently held his legs together while grasping his centrepiece which I kicked before.

I could see how much pain he was in, but I was still not satisfied.

“Mi, Miss Lena, khhm, wha, what are you doing right now………”

“I think that’s supposed to be my line.
Why are you touching someone else’s butt, no, body, huh?”

“I’m Miss Lena’s biggest supporter, shouldn’t I be allowed to do this?”

Sponsor? What sponsor?

While tilting my head, the man said as if he were falsely accused.

“And not only that, do you know that Miss Lena is too strict? This troupe is already unnecessarily strict, but Miss Lena is more strict.
Other actors never do this……….”

“What does it have to do with me being strict and you molesting me? And what if I’m not strict? Are you saying you can just touch me whatever you want? What ridiculous logic!”

 

“I, just, I just thought of Miss Lena as my daughter…….”

“Yes yes, you’re going to use that reason.
So, if you think of me as your daughter, does that permit you to touch me as you want? Even if my own father touched me I would still feel unpleasant, so why are you touching me, huh?”

I threw the bouquet of roses I was holding at the middle-aged man and shouted.

“Get out of here!”

Before I kick you again!

As I acted quite intimidating, the man flinched and rose up from his seat.

The man ran eagerly to the entrance, not even thinking about picking up the bouquet of roses I threw.

Even so, he glanced at me with a vain face as if he still regretted my behaviour.

That man is still out of his mind, huh?

I quietly lifted my feet and showed him the twinkling tip of my twinkling shoe.

Then the man ran away with a pale face.

“How come such a molester here? Crazy bastard.”

I saw the bouquet I had thrown earlier and the rose petals falling on the floor as I shook off my hands.

‘…… Should I clean these up first? Since I’m the one who made this mess.’

Now that I’ve cleared the petals, I don’t know what to do.

 

Can I go back to the room where I first woke up?

I looked at the man who brought me.

So, did he say his name was Bill? I’d better ask that man just in case, right?

“Excuse me……….”

“Gasp!”

As soon as I opened my mouth, the man named Bill hiccups and hurriedly covers his crotch.

‘What’s wrong with him? Why did he react like that all of a sudden?….
Was it because I kicked the Viscount earlier?’

A faint chuckle arose from me.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s no way I could be happy to be treated like a risk factor for kicking someone, but at least people will become wary of me, so it’s good.
It’s not like I would kick anyone I found, by the way.

“Wh, why did you call me?”

He even stammers.
It was ridiculous, but now I don’t feel like explaining it to him.

All I want is just to rest.

“I want to go back, can I do that?”

“Ye, yes! Of course!”

Bill nodded eagerly.
Still with his legs together and his hands covering his crotch.

The way he looked at me was showing that he really wanted me to go.

‘I wish I could, but….’

The problem is that it’s only been a few hours since I became Lena and I didn’t know how to get back to the room where I first woke up.

But I couldn’t just say that I don’t know the way to the room, so there’s only one way.

“I’m sorry, but could you help me carry this to my room? I moved a lot today so I don’t have the energy to carry it to my room.”

I said, waving the bouquet the Viscount brought.

Actually, I was worried that he might be suspicious of me since the reason was so poor.
But contrary to my worries, the man led me to the room I was staying in without any question.

Even before I could thank him, he ran away with a pale face.

***

“Hahaha!”

I stared at the red-haired woman with a disquieting face looking at me, laughing as the world passed away.

It was only a few minutes ago, when I kicked the Viscount on his centrepiece, came back to the room with the help of Bill, got some rest, laid in bed and stretched out my legs.

“Lena!”

The red-haired woman who suddenly opened the door asked me.

“Is it true?”

“Yes? About what?”

“You kicked Viscount Casaro right at the centre!”

“Oh, maybe……?”

“Oh, my God! That’s really unbelievable!”

The woman started laughing frantically with her hand against the wall.

‘But how does she know that story?’

My question was solved immediately.

“As Bill spoke with a pale face, I couldn’t believe it, but you really did it!”

The woman who said it, laughed her head off.
Thanks to that, I was able to know who had told her the story.

How can he talk about it to someone else in that short time?

Bill must be a man with a mouth lighter than a feather.

‘After this woman goes back, I’ll confront him.’

But no chance came for me to confront Bill.

Because this woman kept laughing.
I thought she would stop over time, but instead, she laughed louder, and it became the state I am in now.

‘I hope she stops laughing anytime soon…….’

It was when I was embarrassed and couldn’t even look at the woman.

The woman hit the wall with her hand.

“Hahaha! Hahaha! Oh, my God, he can’t even tell anyone that he had been kicked by a woman, so that’s really fortunate for you and us.
You did a great job, Lena.”

“What? What is……..”

“Kicking Viscount Casaro I mean! He has been flirting with you all this time under a sponsorship excuse! But today he finally got kicked out by you! And more than that, you’re doing it so firmly!”

“Ye, yes.”

“Come to think of it, you’ve been using honorifics for a while.
Are you going to push ahead with that concept now?”

The woman looked at me, still laughing, and suddenly she put her arm on my shoulder.

As we got closer, I flinched and trembled without realizing it, but the woman didn’t care and continued talking.

“But you don’t have to do that to me, do you? How long have you and I been together!”

Well, I’m not…..!

I put up with wanting to reply like that.

To me, today is the first time I see this woman.
Besides, I don’t even know her name yet.

However, it was inevitable since the truth could not be revealed.

I’m sure she won’t believe me if I pretend to suffer from memory loss now.

‘Let’s just pretend it’s my new concept.’

Yeah, that would be great.

I sneaked off the woman’s arm around my shoulder and said.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible.
I can’t wait to get used to the new concept.”

“Oh, my God.
I got goosebumps.
Do you know you’re really awkward right now? Can’t you just behave as usual? I think it’s better.”

The woman shuddered with her body wrapped in her arms at my words.
She seemed to hate it sincerely, but it was obvious that she said it as a joke.

So I was relieved, but the problem was that I didn’t know how to ‘behave as usual’ to this woman.
Because I’m not someone this woman knows.

When I didn’t know how to say it, and as I stayed still, the woman shrugged her expression.

“Yeah, well, the choice is yours, so just do what you like.
Anyway, you did a great job kicking out the Viscount Casaro today! It’s the best!”

The woman said, gave me a thumbs up.

I feel ashamed to be praised.
It hasn’t been long since we met, but somehow she seems like a good person.

“Well, although it’s too much for you to kick him there.”

…….
what a good person!? I take my words back!

The woman grinned as I hardened my face.
She seems to be dying of fun for teasing me.

The woman, who laughed for a long time, turned away, saying she could not keep the funny news by herself.

“See you tomorrow, Lena!”

With that word, the woman left and went out swiftly.
Just like the first time she walked into my room.

* * *

As the woman sauntered, what I was concerned about didn’t happen.

Thanks to that, I was able to continue my life finely the next day and the day after.

No, it is such a lie to say that I was fine.
To be exact, I was ‘pretending to be fine’.

There’s no way I could be fine when I found out that I was dead and suddenly became someone else.

But for a few days, I’ve already become ‘Lena’…

I thought if I searched the room, I’d get something that would tell me why I became Lena, but it was all in vain.

From diaries to wills to common scribbles, there was nothing.

Really nothing.

I tried to find a clue from everyone if ‘I’ had acted strangely before I became Lena, but everyone looked at me with a look as if they didn’t know.

Fortunately, that wasn’t a zero outcome.
Because I found something that wasn’t originally Lena’s.

It was the colour of the eyes that turned golden when contacted with light.

Originally, Lena’s eyes were silver-grey but didn’t turn to gold when contacted with light.

Surprised to learn about this, Veloca called a therapist and even got me a checkup, but there was nothing wrong with this body.

I was advised to visit the temple if I was really worried, but I couldn’t.
Because they asked for a lot of money just to meet a junior high priest there.

In the end, I had no choice but to ignore it, thinking ‘well, maybe the cause is because I entered this body’.

But other than this, nothing special had happened to Lena before I possessed her body, so I had to pretend to be Lena so desperately.

I wonder if it’s fortunate that they were too busy preparing for the stage, that they didn’t notice that there’s something weird with me as Lena.

Anyway, while I lived as Lena for a few days, I was able to get the general information.

The troupe I was performing in was in the capital called “Chloe’s Theatre”.
The man who performed with me on the stage called ‘Rael’, and the red-haired woman who seems familiar with me called ‘Veloca’, and the three of us are the same age, 23 years old.

Maybe because Lena was the same age as me in my previous life, I was relatively comfortable with Rael and Veloca.

Essentially, it was because they basically were kind-hearted people.

And I’m feeling sorry for Lena and my parents in my previous life, but I’m quite suited to this life and I liked it.

I don’t know the reason well but maybe because I could work as a professional actor I’ve always dreamed about in my previous life.

Although I’m not always in the main role, as there were times when Veloca starred in the main role.

But even if it wasn’t for the lead role, I was always on stage, and even with being a side role only, I’m in great pleasure.

In addition, the stage composition here was as advanced as my previous life.

The reason was the magical stone.
Magical stone was produced after purifying the core of an animal beast, which can be used in various things.

Then two types of magical stones were used in the theatre, one that made the voice rang loud as if using a microphone and one that allowed us to play the recorded accompaniment.

And so I don’t know how Lena really felt, but I really liked my life here.

Except for one thing.

It was the people who were looking for me when the play was over.

Some people sincerely handed me flowers, saying they saw my acting well, but most of them were men who had similar hand habits to Viscount Casaro, who ended up kicked by me.

They all tried to touch my body, showing off that they were sponsors, and every time they did it, I retaliated without hesitation using a bouquet of flowers, as if it was a wooden sword, with my kendo skills that I had learned since I was young.

The men who were kicked and beaten by me were busy running away at the end, contemplating.

Of course, among them, some came purely to congratulate me and I misunderstood them and made a mistake.

In that case, I apologized repeatedly and compensated them appropriately, but there was a strange person among them.

A weirdo who asks me to hit him as his reward and compensation!
