Chapter #6Re:Misanthropic Maid (part 2) by: Unknown Subaru expected an immediate response, but he was wrong: Ram's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost, and her mouth hung slightly open for almost a minute. As soon as she saw he was starting to get very worried, she immediately replied:
"You just called me 'sister'. And that vulgar vocabulary…are you actually Barusu?”
“Eureka!” he exclaimed, hopeful for the first time in the entire conversation. “For a moment I thought I was totally alone in this situation! But… why didn't you recognize me?”
Ram's lips trembled a little when she heard this. She pointed at Subaru as she replied:
"You... have you not seen your own appearance?"
“Huh? What do you-"
Subaru's voice immediately cut off as he first paid attention to it: now that his adrenaline level had dropped to a healthy minimum, he noted how sharp, effeminate, and lovable it was. It sounded formal and beautiful, perfect for the maid outfit he immediately noticed he was wearing.
He felt how a gust of cold invaded his spine, making him feel helplessness; he was finally able to notice all the biological changes he had undergone, from the slightest to the most unbearable, and the phenomenon was so sudden that he almost fell to the ground in surprise. He could feel how long hair, women's shoes and a new center of gravity finished liquidating any rest of comfort in his body.
Fortunately, Ram's increasingly cheeky laughter helped him put that thought out of his mind.
“You…Hey! What's with that laugh?! Do you think this is funny?!” he bellowed. "Would you want to be laughed at if you were in the same situation as me?!"
“My apologies, Subaru…but…you're the most beautiful maid I've seen in years! For the first time we can be next to each other without me accidentally humiliating you!” Ram exclaimed, with an increasingly uncontrollable expression on her face. "And the best part is that for some reason you still have that unusual black hair you've always had!" And without warning, Ram moved closer to Subaru and began to caress his face, as if to emphasize how different it now was. “Now that I think about it, what if this turns out to be the body you should have been born with? What if your masculinity was always God's mistake? That would explain why it has always been so pathetic!"
“COULD YOU SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?!” Subaru finally cried out, unable to contain his emotions. “AND WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG TO CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME?”
That last question was a time bomb that exploded in front of his face.
"It's just that 'Barusu' is too vulgar a name for a maiden as beautiful as you" replied Ram, laughing even more. “Ah, it’s a real shame, but you need a new nickname. Let's see, what should I call you from now on…?"
Subaru felt a withering terror shake his skeleton. Without realizing it, he had ended up at the mercy of Ram's creativity.
“…How about ‘Cinderella’? You know, the name of the character of that story you told me once. You’re such a beautiful, innocent and pure maiden that it fits you perfectly, don't you think?” said the diabolical stepsister.
"Shouldn't we be trying to...find our friends?" was the only thing Subaru could say. He realized that he was about to live a very, very long day.
"Of course. If we can do it quickly, we might have time to enjoy a well-deserved beauty sleep.”
'Cinderella' didn't bother to reply; she had to hide her expression of utter embarrassment as she and Ram headed to that strange school.
