The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

33 – Espin 2

When I said hand, I simply meant to give up your hand quickly.

It seems that Shien took it differently than I intended.

He put both his hands on top of mine and his face was turning red.

‘I’d like to at least make an excuse and say I didn’t mean it that way.’

It’s too late to say that.

I decided to just leave it like this and held Shien’s hand tightly.

“… “Sigh.”

He just held her hand tightly, but Shien made a strange noise and closed her eyes tightly.

She wasn’t anything special, I just touched her hand, so I thought, I don’t know why I’m so nervous.

I spoke briefly to ease the tension.

“Is it okay if I do this?”

Hearing those words, Shien opened his eyes slightly and looked at me.

She nods her head rapidly and begins to blush even more.

“… I get it.”

I thought that talking lightly would make the situation better, but it feels like it had the opposite effect.

Looking at Shien like that, I decide to wait until he calms down and sit him down on a nearby chair.

“Oh… Sir Dern… “

Shien must have felt uncomfortable sitting alone, so she looked around and tried to find the chair she was looking for.

She looks embarrassed because she has nothing else to sit on other than sitting on the desk.

I found Shien’s appearance like that quite funny, and when she was laughing inside, she confidently told me that Shien had remembered something about her.

“There is no other place to sit, so you can sit here.”

She then taps her thigh with one hand and gestures for her to sit down comfortably.

She ignored it at first, thinking it was a joke.

With her serious expression on her face, she was hard to ignore as she continued to slap her thighs.

‘… ‘Are you serious?’

Still, isn’t it a bit awkward to sit on her thighs?

I am gritting my teeth and pretending not to notice Shien’s suggestion.

She seemed to think that Shien would not be able to do anything, so she pulled on the hand she was holding and spoke.

“It’s not as hard as you think, so you don’t have to worry. Although I have been training my muscles for a long time. “Every time I finish training, I get a massage to relax the muscles, so it’s softer than I thought.”

Then he touches his thigh and speaks somewhat triumphantly.

“How do you feel? Isn’t it quite soft? This is all the result of working hard for Lord Dern since childhood… “

Shien must have come to her senses while speaking, but she quickly closes her mouth and widens her eyes.

Then she blinked her eyes one after another and seemed at a loss.

Soon, her face turns bright red again and she hands over her apple.

“… “I’m sorry.”

I didn’t know how to answer so I closed my eyes for a moment.

I tried to make a short joke to ease this situation where there was only silence.

“It’s okay. “It’s definitely soft, just like you said.”

Only after speaking did I realize that I had said something wrong.

I’m trying to act like nothing’s wrong, regretting that I should have just stayed quiet.

Shien, who was staring at me blankly, slowly nods her head and begins to burn her strange will.

“Yes… ! Even more… “We will try to make it smoother.”

What does it mean to make meat even softer than meat?

I felt like I would become strange if I continued like this, so I decided to go back and talk to Shien.

“I have a problem to solve, so let’s go.”

“I was really grateful today.”

I nodded and slowly left the student council president’s office.

I went to bed early to relieve the fatigue I had accumulated, and woke up faster than I expected.

I have nothing to do anyway, and it would be better to go to school early if I want to talk to Espin.

When I got to school earlier than usual, Espin came to the classroom as if he had been waiting for me.

“Tell me a story.”

Looks like we’ve already figured something out.

I nodded, thinking that regardless of his personality, he definitely had the ability.

After entering the painting in the art room, I sat down and spoke somewhat arrogantly.

“I guess I found out something.”

“…… “

Looking at Espin’s face as he nodded slightly, it seems that the scale he confirmed was larger than expected.

I looked at Espin in silence, wondering what on earth was happening that made him react like that.

Espin bit her lip lightly, thought for a moment, and then slowly opened her mouth.

“We discovered traces of large-scale human experimentation.”

… Human experiments?

I couldn’t hide my surprise at those words.

Even in the original novel, the Heavenly God Church conducted large-scale human experiments, but that was in the ‘mid to late half’ and did not originally occur at this point.

‘Is it because I stole the historical site?’

Originally, it was a time when the Heavenly God Church took over the historical site and was researching ‘ancient magic.’

Since the ancient magic, including the ruins, was taken from me, it seemed like they were working on this first.

After hearing those words, I first tried to figure out if what I knew was correct.

I looked at the contents in a tone as if I was testing Espin.

“Then, have you figured out what the Heavenly God Church is doing to conduct human experiments?”

She nods her head and talks to me with a frown on her face.

“… “I got the general idea.”

“For example?”

“In order to use human emotions as an energy source, they maximize pain and then mix dozens of humans into one. Or, things like exterminating numerous people at once to perform an unidentified ritual… “

I nodded as the passages from the novel continued.

This is because I noticed that what Espin had figured out and what I knew were similar.

‘That means we can use it to some extent.’

What they are going to do is already in my mind.

If we use this, we will be able to prevent what they are trying to do in advance.

I continued talking, thinking of using Espin for such things.

“So what do you want to do?”

Espin is troubled for a moment by my question.

As an inspector, Espin may have had the will to prevent this.

As a ‘student’, Espin must have felt that he did not want to be in unnecessary danger.

‘Furthermore, it is not just an ordinary murder case, but a serious and serious matter that is being carried out on a large scale.’

It will be even more worrying.

I am tapping my foot as a sign that I can think about it a little more while looking at Espin.

She bit her lip and closed her eyes, then spoke as if she had decided.

“I plan to tell my father and handle the case.”

“It’s my father.”

If her father, a high-ranking administrator, found out, the central government would try to do something.

‘The problem is that there are so many followers of the Celestial God Church in the central government.’

Instead of properly suppressing the humans of the Heavenly God Church.

In the past, there was a high probability that it would end in vain due to checks and obstructions coming from various sources.

I was clearly aware of this, so in order to prevent this, I threw out words that would shake her up.

“Is he also the youngest inspector general? “As soon as a problem arises, you don’t think about solving it on your own, but start thinking about running to her parents.”

“… What?”

When I point out to her, she gets upset and glares at me.

She continues her story slowly, thinking that if you touch her, she will respond in a pleasant way.

“I can’t say your choice was wrong. It’s hard to say that it’s a good choice. You are an inspector, not an ordinary human being. “I am a human being who is in a position to lead someone.”

Let’s intentionally summarize the ideal aspects of her that she wants to be.

She bites her lip again and closes her eyes tightly, as if worried about coming.

I gave her a quick smile and said some more degrading words to her.

“When I see a person in that position failing to solve the problems in front of me and reaching out to my father… “I think I understand why the others don’t want to give you the job.”

She continues to stab her with a sharp awl.

Espin finally can’t stand it anymore and she raises her teeth and glares at me as if she’s going to kill me.

Looking at her like that, I thought it would be a good idea to throw a carrot at her, so I hinted at something she might like.

“… But if you and I resolve this matter, that atmosphere will almost disappear.”

I slowly continued speaking to Espin, who was interested in me.

“If only we could solve something that was not just an ordinary task but a national disaster called large-scale human experimentation. “People will no longer see you as the youngest mascot, but as an inspector who can fully fulfill his role.”

At those words, Espin nods her head calmly, as if she has decided on something, and she talks to me.

“… “You speak well.”

“I take it as a compliment.”

“It’s a compliment. “In fact, people are calling you a dog trainer.”

… Dog trainer?

Just when I was about to feel resentful and wonder why I got such a nickname.

In places like the auditorium or hallway, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut when I realized that Deliana, Rumi, and Shien kept talking.
