I Favor the Villainess

"Hey, wait a minute. Yoel-Santana must be a man, right? Even the immigration papers are applied for as men, right?

"Yes, Your Honor. As an organism, Yoel is a complete man."

"I don't understand what you're trying to say."

Your Honor is confused.

I can't help it.

Because even the world of the twenty-first century is still a mindset that cannot be said to have received full support.

"Sex has a gender of mind, apart from the gender of the body, Your Honor"

"The gender of the mind?

"Yes, ordinary people are never aware because those two coincide, but there are those who suffer because those two coincide with Him"

"You think that's Yoel-Santana?

"Yes."

Your Honor took Joel seriously.

Yoel is a man himself, dressed and faced, with little feminine parts.

"Sure, in plays and such, there will be women like men and men like women, but he will be a normal man no matter how he sees it"

"It doesn't look like a problem. This is a question of which gender you perceive to be."

Joel is in a state of gender disagreement, which I mentioned earlier during Yu's incident.

"Yoel, will you let me hear it from your mouth, too? What thoughts thou hast and what haunteth thou?"

When I urged Joel, he seemed to have been pulling his mouth together for a while, but eventually opened his mouth.

"I was born a soldier's house man."

His voice, which speaketh so, is a low baritone.

"I was born and raised as a man. I've always been raised to be a strong man so that I can be a soldier in the future."

The way I spoke pale seemed rather painful to me.

"But I've been thinking about it since I was a little girl. I wonder how I'm stuck in such a body, my body shouldn't be like this."

This statement is commonly found in people with gender differences.

"The more I train, the more masculine my body becomes. As he grew, his discomfort with his body grew larger. When did my disgust with my body go unchecked?"

Yoel's words were flat.

That seemed to me as if I was desperately restraining my emotions from overflowing.

"Sometimes I learned to steal my mother's eyes and put on makeup. Of course, it doesn't look good on a face like this. But only while I was doing that, my mind settled in wonder."

Some might call that a compensatory act, a false self, or a symptomatic treatment.

But I think sometimes it hurts as much as I need pain relief even if it doesn't heal.

"I've heard rumors since I was in Bauer. There are enough makeup artists in the Empire to be considered divine. I've been looking for that makeup artist ever since I came to the Empire. If it were me... I might even be reborn... because that's what I thought."

I've seen Joel in a colorful street before, but he wasn't there to play with a woman.

He had been searching for a rumored makeup artist.

"It was on the way that I met Berta. I went to Berta's when I heard there was a good makeup artist. I didn't remember, but she remembered me. And she asked me why I wear makeup. I answered honestly. But..."

Joel distorted his face there.

"Berta has told me to give her the money if she doesn't want her secrets to be scattered. It was an extrajudicial amount, not as a cosmetologist's reward. When I refuse, she's been saying things about me. I left the place thinking I was done. And then Ray's right."

Joel spoke so faintly.

But I have to make sure that there is another important point.

"Yoel, it's gonna be hard, but let me hear another one. Which one of the men and women do you like in a romantic sense?

"... a man"

The audience turns colored.

It was intolerable for a godson to be seen with the kind of eyes he sees a rare beast, but now clearing up the suspicion placed on Yoel is a prerequisite.

"Your Honor. As stated above, he has no reason to ramble Mr. Berta"

"But......, then why was Berta-Barquet wounded?

That's right.

That's where it was puzzling.

"As for that, I have this testimony. Permission to speak, Your Honor."

"Allow"

Master Claire also stands up and opens her mouth.

"Mr. Berta has been with you for a long time - no, there seems to be a man who is stuck. His name is Damian-Carossa. Damien seems to have some kind of weakness in Mr. Berta, and every time she was cheating on her money, she got testimony from her colleagues at the tavern where she works."

Master Claire continues.

"We have also obtained testimony from Damian himself. No, I doubt I can call that a testimony."

"What do you mean?

"Damian seemed to have his hands on illegal drugs. I'm almost out of my mind. It's just a guess from here, isn't it Damien who rambled Mr. Berta? Different?

When Master Claire asked, Berta leaned down without saying anything.

"Objection! It's baseless reasoning."

"Objection dismissed. Berta-Barquet, please answer me by oath in the name of God. Have you been assaulted by Damian-Carossa?

……

To the Your Honor's inquiry, Berta remained silent.

Perhaps they are included in telling lawyers not to make statements against them.

"Will you keep quiet? Fine. But I dismiss the charges against Yoel-Santana. Are you sure?

"No, Your Honor!

The defense attorney coloured,

"... Yes, I don't mind"

Berta said that in a fine voice.

"Berta! We can still fight!

"... no, that's okay. That's enough."

Groaning so, Berta sat down under the stand.

Why she covered Damien, why she didn't charge Damien from the beginning, and why she tried to incriminate Yoel.

I guess she has a real reason to be her.

There were a number of novels and cartoons in previous life that dealt with women wearing sexual tantrums on men, but some of them were portrayed as very malicious beings.

But a very small percentage of that happens in reality.

I'm not saying there isn't.

But not much.

From a man's point of view, I can deduce the feeling that I would be afraid to be dressed in such a sin from a woman, even of the opposite sex.

But the average woman has no point or reason to do that.

Of course, that's why it's odd that all the claims on the woman's side go through.

There is no doubt that there were problems with the Japanese judicial system prior to reincarnation.

But everything has to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

I don't know exactly what happened in Berta's case after all.

Maybe Damian was the culprit of it all, or maybe it was Berta's arbitrariness.

Everything stays out of the realm of speculation, and the trial is about to end.

"And Yoel-Santana. I have something else to say to you. I revoke your eligibility to study in the Empire."

I wasn't surprised.

Will it still be so?

"I understand your circumstances, but your body is both given and given by God. It is a sin to differ from it. You can't keep a sinner in the empire like this."

……

Joel is not surprised either.

That is not because I am not uncomfortable with the judge's decision, but because I have given up that it will be.

There is a decidedly different part of Yoel's case from that of Yu-like, which was heterosexual.

In the case of Master Yu - apart from what the upper realm said - it is a case of return to the original body.

In contrast, Yoel is a case of denying his "original" body.

In the doctrine of the Spirit Church, the judgment given to the two is very different.

If this were Japan in the twenty-first century, there would never have been such a verdict.

But that's not the kind of value that's growing in this world yet.

"Yoel-Santana shall be forcibly returned to the Kingdom of Bauer. The deadline is one month. Please leave the country by then."

The court was adjourned at this time, and the presiding judge closed the trial.

Nobody is saved, it was a vain trial.
