Irene's first thought was Tracy, the Vice Admiral Ailment, who perfectly fit that description. Her charm truly transcended gender, and it was quite insane.
She stood still for two seconds, silent, as if recalling something. After a slight hesitation, she said, "Besides Tracy, I have indeed met one other person with extraordinary charm, but she left the Black Death very quickly."
"She had fiery red hair, like blazing flames, very flamboyant, and she also liked to wear red clothing. She seemed to possess very powerful flame-related abilities."
The Hunter who had jumped to the Demoness Pathway. Irene's description instantly made Leyton think of the Demoness from whom he had snatched the Conqueror Characteristic.
"Was she the only one?" Leyton asked again to confirm.
"She's the only one I've met," Irene replied, her expression not very good.
Leyton nodded slightly. He didn't detect any inclination for her to lie. Before Irene turned to leave, he spoke again, "Tracy genuinely likes you. Why don't you consider her? Only one of you needs to become a Sequence 4 of the Hunter Pathway, and you can be together without obstacles."
Irene's face turned red then white, then white then red, filled with both embarrassment and anger.
You actually want to pair Miss Hunter with Mr. Assassin? Be a human! Beside the carriage, Klein, who had just emerged from the carriage, almost couldn't maintain Gehrman Sparrow's image.
"What do you mean!" Irene questioned, both embarrassed and annoyed.
She had completely forgotten that the other party was a powerful Beyonder.
Leyton didn't mind her tone, chuckling as he said, "The Hunter Pathway, upon reaching Sequence 4, only exists as males. If a female reaches this Sequence, she will be forcibly transformed into a male."
Females will be forcibly transformed into males... Irene was stunned. Following the other party's words, her mind instinctively conjured the image of herself, as a Sequence 4, pinning Tracy beneath her.
She suddenly shook her head violently, as if trying to shake out something unclean from her mind.
Madam, your reaction indicates that you were tempted by his suggestion just now. Klein silently complained in his mind, and then sighed, "The charm of a Demoness is truly immense!"
Danitz, standing nearby, instinctively touched his chest with both hands, letting out a long sigh of relief in his heart. "Good, I was already male... Wait! Why did I touch my chest? Doesn't that make me seem like a pervert?"
Danitz was about to glance around to see if the others had noticed his action, when he heard Bugs Bunny's voice, which made him grit his teeth:
"If you want to become a female, you can drink the Demoness Pathway potion. Anyway, these two Pathways are interchangeable."
"Thanks, I don't want to become a female at all, I still have to and the ship—"
Danitz immediately covered his mouth, swallowing the rest of his words.
"This rabbit can talk!"
Irene looked at Bugs Bunny in front of Leyton with surprise. She had thought that the rabbit's owner had intentionally dressed it up like that; it wasn't uncommon for nobles to treat their pets like humans.
Leyton maintained a faint smile on his face and said softly, "Aren't you curious that the Demoness Pathway turns men into women? Tracy just happens to be a Demoness, you know!"
"She's a woman... a real woman, I... know—"
Irene answered somewhat eagerly, her voice faltering, losing confidence as she spoke.
Her voice paused, and Irene, her eyes filled with anger yet not daring to show it too clearly, glanced at Leyton and Klein. She quickly turned, carrying her suitcase, and hurried towards the ship docked nearby.
Klein withdrew his gaze from Irene and looked at Leyton, silently complaining in his heart: This guy, when did he become so perverse?
Leyton withdrew his gaze and casually looked at Klein, saying, "You just let her go like that? Are you planning to cross-dress yourself to seduce Tracy?"
"..." Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's expressionless face and glanced at Leyton, his left hand, placed behind his back, slightly clenched into a fist.
A moment later, Klein's voice was low, as if biting his teeth, as he said, "You can too."
"I can't. I can change my appearance and demeanor, but I can't perform with the spontaneity of a Faceless," Leyton said, shaking his head slightly, explaining very seriously.
Moreover, Demonesses are also skilled in divination. Before I even attempt such an action, it's very likely to trigger their spiritual intuition, thus leaving behind traps.
Faceless, is this the name of the Sequence Gehrman Sparrow is in? No, it could also be his glove... Danitz instinctively glanced at Klein's left hand. Although nothing appeared to be there, he had seen the changes when Klein used that glove.
Leyton's gaze fell on Danitz, and in response to the latter's questioning look, he said, "I will be leaving Bayam in the next two days. Do you want to return to the Golden Dream? I can take you back with me."
"Yes!" Danitz replied without thinking.
Finally, I can get rid of this guy Gehrman Sparrow. Staying with this crazy guy, I have to worry every day that he might sell me off for cash if he runs out of money.
"Tomorrow."
Klein interjected, his tone cold.
"Why..." Danitz turned away angrily, but upon meeting Gehrman Sparrow's cold, expressionless face, his tone quickly softened.
Klein didn't answer Danitz. He turned and went back into the carriage. Before closing the carriage door, he said calmly, "To Pier 6 at the harbor."
"Okay." Danitz almost instinctively responded, and after replying, he belatedly froze for a moment. "Damn it! How did I get so used to this?"
The carriage driven by Danitz slowly drove away from him. Leyton looked down at Bugs Bunny, who was still curiously gazing at the carriage, and said, "Let's go. He doesn't want us to see him in women's clothes; he'll be socially dead."
"What is 'socially dead'?" Bugs Bunny asked curiously.
"It means feeling that you've done something very shameful in your social circle, and you can't hold your head up."
Leyton explained with a light chuckle.
Bugs Bunny nodded, seemingly understanding. As a rabbit, it had never had such concerns.
It extended a paw and rubbed its furry chin for a moment, then turned its head, somewhat conflicted, and asked, "Boss, where are we going next? Can we still use the 'Door'? I don't want Spirit World travel."
Leyton chuckled, bending slightly to rub the back of Bugs Bunny's head under its hat, saying, "We're going to watch Klein cross-dress. The 'Door' I use has no essential difference from Spirit World travel. Why do you only get dizzy from Spirit World travel? You're a Sequence 7 rabbit, after all."
"I'm just a rabbit! You can't have such high expectations for a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny retorted with a pout.
Leyton didn't reply. He had already straightened his back and raised his right hand, a slowly rotating cluster of stardust appearing in his palm.
One by one, stars emerged, twinkling with light in front of him, outlining layers upon layers of Door symbols.
The starlight was dense and dazzling, casting forth rays of brilliance that quickly formed a profound, dark "Door" connecting to the Spirit World Depths.
When Bugs Bunny saw the Star Gate form, it hopped and skipped inside.
