Chapter 33
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 . ”
“Yes, that’s the fact . I am an angel on service . So you could call me gender-free . ”
“Do all the angels have no genders?”
“No, our archangel Gabriel is a female . Once we have reached to the upper third level and are not confused anymore, we can choose our own gender then . I am only an intern angel who haven’t been registered in any level yet . So I still haven’t had a gender yet . Maybe this condition will last for a long time . ”
“I see . . . ”
“But, I still need an identification in human’s world, so . . . please consider me as a male . After all, I only go to the men’s lavatory, ha ha . ” Puff!
Male . . . Why had he chosen to be a man . . .
What a pity!!!!!
Seeing me being frustrated, Yu Hui who was standing beside me squinted her eyes and said meaningfully,

“Master Jun Cheng . . . You don’t have that kind of interest, do you . . . ”’
“No, I don’t! Of course I don’t!”
“Really?”
“I . . . ” I glanced at Phil again . The latter was looking at me with the innocent look in his eyes while giving out a sweet smile .
Ah-hem . . . if he was a female . . . what could I do to Phil if he was a woman? What did I want to do to female version Phil?
I mean, why would I have that kind of thought again? Had the enchanting ritual already affected my mind? So even if it had already been taken away, the influence it had caused still remained?
I patted on my face, forcing myself to collect myself .
Wake up, An Juncheng! It didn’t matter if Phil was a boy or a girl . He could only be your friend in the end!
His gender . . . was not important at all!
Being adorable was all the thing he needed!
“Phew . . . ”
It looked like I couldn’t be so careless in the short period of time . Even if the enchanting magic ritual had gone, I was still influenced by it . Before I was fully recovered, I couldn’t let my guard down .
“Have I brought troubles to you?”
“No, I would appreciate your help in the future . ” Now that my mental power was way stronger than before, I managed to cool down very quickly .
I shouldn’t be swayed so easily in most of the cases right now . But Phil could still stimulate me just with his appearance, that really was an exception .
“So, these are all the members of the Sixth Office, right? What about our chief? Is it Eddie?” It couldn’t be Li Nai, I hoped . . . If my chief was this dumbass, I would walk away immediately .
“There is still another one . I haven’t introduced ‘Mr . Shadow’ to you . ”
“Mr . Shadow?” Who? There was no other one in the room now . Had he gone out?
“Yeah, Mr . Shadow has been around you the whole time . He seems to like you a lot . ”
“Huh? Around me?” Where? Why hadn’t I seen him? Wait, Mr . Shadow, it wouldn’t be . . .
“Xiao’ai, turn on the projector . ”
“OK! Watch me now, Xiao’ai light wave!” A beam of light which had been shot out from Xiao’ai’s eyes lighted up the place in front of me .
Then I saw a shadow turning around and waving his hand to me on the ground in front of me .
So that was what it was . . . that really was a ‘shadow’ .
