Chapter 33: My Boss Was A Ghost Lady (1)
Translator: Night Fury
That was the first time I had ever seen such a weird person.
I had seen tough girls who were even more manly than men. I had also seen male cross dressers who were even more girly than girls. I had even seen the people in between, who were called androgyny.
But Phil didn’t belong to any kinds of those people.
If I had to put him in one category, he was just like Hideyoshi Kinoshita who was not like a ‘handsome girl’ or a ‘delicate boy’ except that Phil never had the special hobby of emphasizing that his gender.
His breast was nearly flat but still had a slight budding. He didn’t have Adam’s apple, but I still saw that place lightly bulging. His voice was a bit thin, but I couldn’t call that a girl’s voice.
He didn’t have obvious male characters or female characters. He was only in the middle, which made people hard to define his gender precisely. Neither my vision nor my auditory sense were able to help me make the judgement.
It was almost like... he didn’t have a gender at all.
If there finally was a human who didn’t have a gender in this world, that must be Phil.
“Eh? Mr. Jun Cheng?”
“Huh? Ah, sorry that I have been staring at you...” Phil waved his hands in front of my eyes, bringing me back to my sense. After I had realized that it was rude to staring at him, I apologized to him right away.
“You are a boy or a girl?”
“Hey!” Come on, how could Yu Hui ask that question so abruptly.
I had also wanted to ask that question just now. It had taken me so hard to bite my tongue!
What if Phil had been troubled about his gender for a long time. Considering of his feeling, I thought that it would be better if I could pick a this topic at the right time after we had got along for a long while.
But I never realized that Yu Hui would speak her mind like that... like what I had used to be.
“This is the first time saw such a strange human being. You don’t have the Yin or Yang spirits at all... Have you covered that up with some magic arts or weapons?”
“You have asked that question as I have expected.” Phil showed a troubled expression on his face with his head tilted.
“Sorry! If she has annoyed you, you don’t need to answer... Hey, Yu hui, you should apologize now!” That look on his face was torturing my conscience. Suddenly I felt myself deserving to die by even wanting to ask him that question.
Then I pressed Yu Hui’s head at once and apologized to Phil with her. However, before we lowered our heads, Phil reached out his hands to hold our shoulders, saying,
“Ah, that’s fine. Basically all the people who have met me for the first time would ask that. Mr. Eddie even asked me for my cells because he said he wanted to make some tests on my chromosomes.” Hearing that, Yu Hui and I both turned around to look at Eddie. As surprised as we were, we still wanted to ask... what was the result of the test!
“Huh? Oh, that happened in last year. I thought I have suffered from the gender recognition disorder. However, after I have run some tests, I found myself having no problems at all. Then I started to be interested in Phil’s gender. After he had given me his consents, I performed a test on his skin cells... It turned out...”
“Turned out what?” x 3. Yu Hui and I, as well as Li Nai (which I didn’t know why) said with one voice.
Eddie looked at Phil first, trying to ask if he could say the result out loud using his eyes. After he had seen Phil nodding, he then said,
“It turned out... there was nothing there. The construction of Phil’s cells are very likely to ours but was actually completely different. Which means, he’s not a human being at all.”
“Aye?! Little Phil is not a human being?!”
“Why would you be so surprised...” It was not like you had met Phil for the first time like us.
“That’s right, Phil is not a human being, but...”
“An angel?” I spoke the answer ahead of Eddie.
“Wow... you have just spoken out the truth. So that is your ability... interesting.” There seemed to be weird light shooting out from Eddie’s eyes. Suddenly I felt that I had become a mouse for the experiment use. With a chill all over my body, I regretted that I had exposed myself so randomly... However, it seemed that Eddie didn’t have the plan to conduct an experiment on me right away. Instead, he changed the subject,
“That’s right, Phil is an angel. Maybe you have heard that angels don’t have genders. So they never get married or give birth to children.”
