The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Gilles Carreras was born as the eldest daughter of the Earl of Carreras family.

The Carreras family is part of the traditional gateway nobility and attaches great importance to format. Only imperial men have the right to inherit the governor in the empire. Gilles is a woman and does not meet this condition. I mean, no matter how, Gilles can't succeed the Carreras housekeeper. Originally, it would be Theory who would adopt an aristocratic boy who was flattened by the governor's inheritance of another house, or let Gilles' son-in-law adopt the governor.

But this is the ugly part of the aristocracy that adhered to the name tradition. Gilles was raised as a man who should succeed the housekeeper, even though he was a woman from an early age, thanks to the intention of the Carreras family, beginning with his grandfather, who did not want to show weakness to other houses.

Of course, no matter how much I fix on the paperwork, such a plan full of holes will soon be worn out. Even if it was believed at an early age, after growing up, Gilles' body had completely turned into a woman herself. At that time, I also notice the Carreras family's reckless and extreme plans. In a way, this is an act of treachery against the state. Hopefully, there will be certain penalties for the Carreras family as well. So Gilles desperately acted like he was a man.

A memorial boy was born to his parents when he was nearing graduation from the Knights College of Magic Guidance. I don't know how many bribes my grandfather had accumulated, but a few months later, Gilles' household registration had become a woman's. And at the same time as he graduated, Gilles was banished from the Carreras family.

Naturally, I was angry at the way the smell was treated with a lid. But I felt sorry for myself and couldn't forgive myself for not being able to say anything more to my father or my grandfathers.

I guess it also meant a deposit. Conveniently, 5 million G of money had been paid by the Carreras family. Based on that money, he enters the commercial guild of strength supremacy, which he has always been interested in, and begins to do business. One day, I will give back to all the Carreras. Gilles was so vowed to her heart at this time.

In a commercial guild, it doesn't matter who you are or how old you are, purely what you make money is the winner. This clear and simple system goes well with Gilles to increase wealth. Still, only my complicated thoughts about my parents and the inferiority of living at the bottom of my heart never went away.

That's when I meet one strange boy in even the poorest peripheral territory of the empire called Millard Territory.

The boy's name is Gray Millard. He was, like, all abnormal.

Of course, manipulating magic more like a limb than a court magician, or possessing insanely extreme abilities such as an item box that stops time, or the ability to metastasize, is also well worth the surprise.

But the most noteworthy thing about him was his remarkable brains and his very ways of being.

After getting to know each other for a while, Gray brings in a business negotiation for product development in Gilles. That turned out to change Gilles' fate.

That's the 'hand pump'. A revolutionary invention that renews the circumstances of the world's water intake.

Initially, Gilles saw this' hand pump 'only as an invention of water draw from a well. But that it is a big mistake, in the carriage to Straheim, is spoken out of Gray's mouth.

That's fried water. The technology of this' hand pressed pump 'shall be convertible as a miracle technique for watering grace on land with low precipitation. Even realizing that fact, Gilles cannot succeed in automating and ends up with his help. Still, for the first time, Gilles was able to leave her own footprint in this world. I was just glad to hear that.

Gray gets applauded for his insanity as he gets older.

Clocks and various inventions will be accomplished, starting with glass. And in the undead, an unsolicited crisis that struck that empire, he let the world take its name.

It was shortly after this incident that the Carreras family, who should have figured it out, came into contact with Gilles.

Gilles had also made quite a bit of money by this time, and initially I also wondered if he would shamelessly seek assistance for Gilles.

But their purpose was not to Gilles, but to Gray. I heard about Gilles being kind to Gray and asked him to make contact with him.

Gilles had no idea what my grandfathers intended at this time. Because the Carreras are a gateway aristocrat. For them, so to speak, Gray was a busy and unfavorable lad who drove the Curos family to ruin, which was his compatriot. Because that contact with him should be nothing more than an act of disobedience to the same confederation of blood and nobility.

But the intense willingness to work on destiny in their eyes was very unlikely to be spoken of with Dada or insanity.

Regardless of my father, my grandfather is a hateful person who can read the political situation in the country, for better or worse. Maybe he feels in that skin that Gray will fundamentally change this empire.

"Do you, Gilles, intend to accompany Lord Grey?

And this one word my grandfather asks me drives a person named Gilles decidedly crazy. To be more precise, they have shattered the fixed concepts that they have so desperately envisioned.

After that decisive shift in perception, Gilles no longer sees Gray as a friend.

The first time I met him in Imperial Capital, his chest gets hot for no reason, even though he's not much different than usual. I managed to hold back that feeling and came to that ceremony.

Side chamber declaration of His Majesty the King. That's supposed to be the greatest honor for a woman living in an aristocratic society, but at that time, all that was in Gilles was just intense disgust.

And I was carelessly feeling like I was happy at this time that Gray didn't care about my position and helped Gilles.

Gray took me back to his room, but that Park Shinren gave me men's clothes more than anything else. A guy who doesn't even understand dust at all what it's like to be a woman.

I can't contain my angry feelings. Even as I confused myself like that, I told him for the first time a story about my past.

By now, Gilles is aware of her feelings. And I was tired of continuing to falsify myself already.

So...

"Competition with His Majesty the Emperor, definitely win"

"That's it."

It was with that word that I conveyed this intense thought to him.
