The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

38 – Dinner Party 1

When I returned from washing up, I saw Rumi dozing in front of my room, hugging a stuffed dog.

If an ordinary woman was doing that, I would have thought it was strange.

‘… ‘It’s definitely pretty.’

If you look at her appearance alone, she was so beautiful that you didn’t even know why she was being bullied.

Even though she was acting like that, rather than thinking that she was strange, my first thought was that she was cute.

I laughed at that fact, but then I came to my senses and slowly called Rumi.

“Rumi.”

“…… “

Judging by the lack of reaction, he must have fallen into a deep sleep like last time.

I tried to pick up Rumi countless times and take her to her guest room.

I can see the corners of my eyes trembling ever so slightly.

‘Were you just pretending to sleep?’

I don’t know why he was acting like that.

There’s no need to hug him anymore than you know he’s not sleeping.

With that thought in mind, I was trying to tell Rumi to wake up, but I was offended that he was trying to deceive me, so I hit Takbam hard.

At the same time her pleading sound echoes, Rumi looks up at me in surprise, covering her forehead.

After seeing Rumi’s expression of frustration, I felt quite satisfied.

She answered briefly, pointing to her guest room.

“If you’re going to sleep, sleep in your room.”

“…… “

After hearing those words, Rumi looked at me with a pouting expression, as if there was something about her that she didn’t like.

She soon seemed to have remembered something and spoke as she held out the dog doll she was holding in her arms.

“Thank you for this… “I was waiting.”

It looks like he came to say thank you.

Still, she nodded, thinking that she was a good kid.

Rumi spoke while carefully hugging her stuffed dog.

“That… “I will do my best to become what Dern wants.”

What do I want?

Realizing that the conversation was somewhat distorted, she quickly tried to ask about it.

“So… Please watch over me… ! He’ll be a great dog!”

Before that, Rumi declared to me, taking control of her will, even though I did not know her true identity.

Immediately, I started running somewhere as if I was running away.

I sighed, thinking I had no idea why everyone around me was trying to do dog-related things.

The next morning, when she arrived at the academy, I saw Espin calling to me with a mixture of embarrassment and a little envy on her face.

It seemed like he was calling me to talk about what I did yesterday, so I approached him.

He talks to me in a completely different way than usual.

“I never thought I would actually do it! “Our junior was a very capable person!”

To the extent that it can be said that yesterday’s Espin and today’s Espin are different people.

Everything from the tone of voice to facial expressions and actions showed the exact opposite feeling.

I spoke briefly, wondering where Espin, who had been attacking from the beginning, had gone.

“It’s noisy.”

“…… “

Espin must have come to his senses from my tone that seemed to pour cold water on him.

She returned to her original expression and spoke to me in a somewhat cold voice.

“Anyway, good job.”

For someone who pretends to be arrogant, the corners of his ears are too red.

I am acting like I am not, but I am looking at this and realizing that I am actually very embarrassed.

Espin told me a story about what happened last night.

“It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but with the help of you and the Lercier family, the story about large-scale human experiments has spread widely among the central government.”

I nodded as if it was obvious.

This is not an ordinary family, but is related to the Lercie family, which boasts omnipotent power.

There was no way that the story about the incident would not spread.

If it’s obvious, I’m nodding my head at the obvious result.

Espin must have been quite excited and continued talking to me, little by little, speaking faster.

“Because of that, the public security management department, which had been quiet until now, began a large-scale audit. There is talk that our inspection department is also planning to be deployed to the case.”

Actually, this is not very important.

To be honest, it was a story that had little to do with me.

So, as I nodded somewhat awkwardly, Espin cleared his throat and changed the subject.

“So what… I said it was hard. “I will let you know about the details once the investigation begins.”

I nodded with satisfaction at those words.

This is exactly why Espin was included in this case.

Looking at Espin like that, I thought it would be a good idea to throw him a carrot, so I blurted out the words.

“In return for this work, let me mention that Inspector Espin was of great help in this case.”

Hearing those words, Espin blinks and looks at me, as if he didn’t know he would do something like that.

I continued speaking calmly, avoiding that somewhat burdensome gaze.

“Then let me ask you next time.”

“… Okay.”

Espin, who was nodding his head, moved his lips as if he had something more to say.

He must have decided that it would be better not to do it soon, but he just nods his head with his lips tightly closed.

I looked at Espin like that, then slowly looked away and headed back to the assigned classroom.

* * *

When I entered the classroom, some people blatantly glared at me.

I was lost in thought, laughing at that malicious gaze.

‘There is no way that what happened in the early morning could have spread to ordinary nobles who were already students… ‘

The guys glaring at me like that are most likely members of the Celestial God Church.

I decided to remember their faces well in my mind and deal with them later when something more certain occurred.

As I sat down with that thought in mind, Delia greeted me with her face.

“Derndern.”

Overly friendly tone of voice.

I’m already feeling dispirited and trying to ignore the greeting.

Delia talks to me in a somewhat humorous voice.

“The dinner party schedule has been decided.”

Now that I think about it, I thought it would be soon.

It was annoying, but since I promised, I nodded and Delia spoke to me with a playful smile.

“One in two days.”

“2 Days?”

“Yes. Originally, I was going to do it a week later… What was it when I heard it this morning? “I’m not sure, but the problem was so big that it would take over a month to resolve it, so they said it would be done in 2 days.”

“…… “

When I realized that the reason the schedule was tight was because of me, I had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

I was sighing inwardly, thinking that I had exploded so quickly for no reason.

Delia talks to me with a smile.

“There is no need to feel burdened. Since you are coming as a guest anyway… Just eat in moderation and enjoy yourself.”

Hearing those words, I nodded and looked at Delia.

Actually, as I said, if it was ‘just a visit to have fun’, there would be no problem.

‘If the head of the Herdi family has other thoughts.’

It was clear that he would face many difficulties at the dinner party.

For some reason, I was pressing my forehead, thinking that the head of the Herdia family was going to do something.

Delia hums her song and tells me what’s so exciting.

“Oh, by the way, when are you going to do the magic modification and reinforcement you mentioned last time? Of course, I know that I shouldn’t rush it as a four dog, but… Still, it’s easier in many ways if you tell me the general idea. So, do you have anything planned?”

It’s so loud that it hurts my ears.

I feel like I’m going crazy if I keep listening, so I ignore it and try to go outside.

Delia holds on to me and continues to talk frantically.

“Are you sure you’re ignoring me because I don’t imitate a dog? Then there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to do it. Well then, let’s get started… Ugh. Whoop.”

I spoke coldly, interrupting Delia’s mouth when she was about to make a fuss.

“Shut up. Noisy.”

“…… “

At those words, Delia made a sullen expression and looked at me.

She must have suddenly thought of something interesting, and she sticks out her tongue towards my palm, which is covering her own mouth, and starts licking it.

I narrow my eyes as I watch Delia do something that an elementary school child would do, and she looks at me with an idiotic grin.

‘Anyway, it’s a pain in the ass.’

I am determined to catch me later and beat me continuously.

Someone knocked lightly on the classroom door and called me.

“… “Lord Dern.”

When I looked back at those words, I saw Shien looking back and forth between me and Delia with an expressionless face.

After Shien approached me, she silently glared at Delia for a moment, then slowly turned her gaze and spoke to me.

“I have something to say to you for a moment. Are you okay with the time?”

She nodded, thinking it would be okay until the lecture started.

Shien held my hand covering Delia’s mouth and led me out slowly, as if leading her young child.
