Following his senses, Ethan easily found the adorable blond "trap" in a stall of the girls' restroom, huddled on the toilet seat and engrossed in a handheld game. Looking at Gasper's cute girl's uniform, Ethan knew that if he hadn't personally verified Gasper's gender, he would never have believed such a beautiful boy could exist.
Thinking of Nanao Tachibana, who could actually switch genders at will, Ethan could only conclude that vampires in this world were, in a sense, truly terrifying creatures.
"Gasper, why are you hiding in the girls' restroom?" Ethan forced the stall door open and demanded. "Even if you don't want to participate in the Sports Festival, you could play games somewhere else. Hell, even a stall in the men's room would work."
"Eeeek!" Gasper let out a high-pitched, feminine shriek. Only when he saw it was Ethan did his racing heart slow down. With an expression more pouting and delicate than most girls, he grumbled, "I can't play in peace anywhere else! Those boys are so annoying, always trying to talk to me."
"Then just reject them. What does that have to do with hiding in the ladies' room?"
To the outside world, Gasper was still a girl—a cute, weak-willed blond gamer girl. It was perfectly normal for boys to hit on him.
"It has everything to do with it! If I hide here, those boys can't come in!" Gasper argued logically. Since everyone besides Ethan's inner circle thought he was a girl, being found here wouldn't even be considered strange.
"Actually, Ethan-kun, aren't you the weird one?" Gasper put away his console and huffed. "You're a guy, yet you enter the girls' restroom so naturally without any shame. Aren't you afraid of being caught by other girls?"
"So what if I am? It's not like I haven't done business in here a few times before."
Within the academy, Ethan and girls like Yukina Sasaki had played out all sorts of fantasies in various locations. Of course, he always used magical barriers to ensure total privacy. When it came to "toilet play," Ethan actually preferred the girls' room. It wasn't about the environment; it was just that the thought of a guy potentially walking into the men's room killed his mood. In the girls' room, the idea of an unknown girl entering nearby made his cock throb with excitement. Sometimes, he'd even intentionally drop the barrier slightly so a girl outside would hear the wet, lewd sounds of fucking, causing her to flee with a bright red face. If he met a bold one who was pretty enough, Ethan wouldn't mind giving her a quick fuck as well.
Just then, the door opened. Aika Kiryuu and her two friends walked in, only to see the cute blond "girl" on the toilet and the tall, handsome Ethan looming over her.
"Wow, even Gasper-chan has been claimed by Ethan-kun? What a terrifying man," the bespectacled Aika said, pushing up her glasses with an exaggerated tone. "By the way, Gasper-chan is so small. Can she handle it? I've heard that Ethan-kun is... exceptionally large down there."
Despite the incredibly lewd topic, there wasn't a hint of bashfulness on her face—only pure excitement. Ethan had an impression of her, knowing she wasn't a normal human either, but since the timeline was a mess, he just treated her like a regular student.
"I don't know if Gasper can handle it, but I know you definitely could," Ethan said, shamelessly eyeing the girl. Aika Kiryuu was actually quite pretty, but her plain glasses, dull ponytail, and slovenly attitude suppressed her looks. Even so, she was well above average.
"Me? Hahaha..." Seeing Ethan wasn't joking, Aika laughed nervously and backed off. She loved talking dirty, but she was a pure virgin who hadn't even held a boy's hand. While Ethan was exactly her type, she wasn't ready for things to get real.
Ethan didn't linger. He dragged Gasper out after nodding to the two other girls. He didn't know their names, so he had no interest in talking to them. Gasper, being socially anxious, followed Ethan obediently, feeling much safer by his side than with his classmates.
Once they were gone, the two other girls blushed and looked at Aika with envy. "Aika-chan, you're so brave! If I had your guts, I could... ngh..."
"Yeah, even if we couldn't be his girlfriend, losing our virginity to Ethan-kun would be the greatest memory of our lives..."
Aika gave a strained smile. She knew they were right. For most girls, Ethan was the ultimate choice for a first time. But Aika, despite her dirty mouth, was surprisingly conservative at heart.
Ethan didn't care about their conversation. He brought Gasper to the Student Council room and asked directly, "Gasper, are you actually a boy or a girl?"
"Huh?" Gasper blinked, then acted shyly. "I... I actually want to be a girl..."
"So you really are a boy?"
"Yeah... Ethan-kun, you said you already knew. Why ask again?"
"Well..." Ethan hesitated but decided to push. "Gasper, can you show me proof? Just by looking at you, I honestly can't be sure."
"Proof?" Gasper's face turned bright red. He gripped his skirt and bit his lip. "W-what kind of proof?"
Ethan and Gasper stared at each other in silence until Gasper finally resolved himself. "F-fine..."
He reached under his skirt and slowly slid his cute striped panties down to his knees. In every other aspect—clothes, mannerisms, face—he was a girl. But when he lifted the hem of his skirt, a tiny, uncircumcised "silkworm" was revealed.
Ethan scanned it with mana to ensure it wasn't a transformation spell. "Alright, thanks."
Gasper frantically pulled his panties back up. His face was as red as an apple. But Ethan's next words made him snap.
"Gasper, I understand why you want to be a girl now." Ethan patted his shoulder with a look of mock tragedy. "Don't worry. Being small is also cute."
"I just haven't hit puberty yet! Vampires are long-lived! We develop late!"
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say."
"..."
"Anyway," Ethan said, getting serious. "You said you want to be a girl, but you were born a boy. So your gender was determined at birth?"
"Duh? If I could choose, I'd be a girl right now."
"But I thought vampires could choose their gender?"
"What? No way. Where did you hear that?"
Ethan explained the situation with Nanao Tachibana. Gasper was filled with envy. "So lucky... switching at will... why couldn't I be born like that?"
Ethan chopped Gasper on the head to snap him out of it. "Ow..."
"So, do you know why?"
Gasper rubbed his head. "You said he has True Ancestor blood. It's likely a mutation caused by the True Ancestor lineage mixing with humans. Each True Ancestor has unique traits."
So Nanao was a special case. Ethan wasn't surprised. He decided to use Gasper to help "fix" Nanao's gender to female.
"Gasper, I need you to help me convince Nanao to choose to be a girl. In return, I'll grant you one request within my power."
"Really? I want to become a real girl!" Gasper's eyes lit up. In a world of magic, a sex change wasn't impossible.
Ethan shivered. If he started turning guys into girls, where would it end? "Choose something else..."
"Ngh... fine. I don't have anything else right now. And I can't guarantee he'll choose to be a girl."
"Just do your best. Regardless of the result, I'll owe you a favor."
Ethan brought Gasper to the infirmary to meet Chisato Hasegawa. Since Chisato was close to Nanao and had a welcoming "motherly" aura, it would be easier to introduce Gasper through her. After explaining the plan, Ethan returned to the Sports Festival to fulfill his duties as President.
