The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

63 – Conflict

It wasn’t that difficult to find the contract.

The moment I entered the room, a completely locked safe caught my eye.

As she approached, Luna stuck out her face and spoke.

[Because it looks very difficult to solve just by looking at it. I’ll free you! I’m waiting for you!]

I guess he wanted to receive praise this time too.

She pricked up her ears and spoke to me triumphantly, then stretched out her hand and spoke to me.

[There are three layers of locking magic. It would have been very difficult to solve without me, right? No! I wouldn’t have been able to solve it!]

Luna, who had been laying all kinds of groundwork to receive greater praise, draws mana to use her unlocked magic with the sound of her laughter, which is unknown to her.

After seeing this, I pushed Luna’s head into my arms.

She reached into the safe with her free hand and spoke, directly interfering with the ‘locking magic’.

“No need.”

[Why!]

Ignoring that voice that was talking harshly.

I answered briefly, forcefully tearing off the locking spell itself with my hand.

“You just have to destroy it.”

The locking magic is forcibly torn off with a clanging sound.

Luna, who was watching this, stood upright as if she was scared, and then she spoke urgently to me.

[How did you do it… ?]

Then, as if she couldn’t understand, she tilted her head and kept asking me questions.

I ignored Luna and forcibly used force, completely ripping off the locking magic from the safe.

Wood clack!

I used mana to forcibly distort the steel door and check the contents inside.

‘All kinds of goods, documents and… Contracts.’

It appears that there were more than one or two people who were secured by contract.

I took all of these, thinking that I could do some pretty fun things using them.

‘Then I got everything I could from here.’

Now we just have to go and finish it.

I used magic to free all those who were trapped and went out.

As soon as I returned home, what I saw was Espin and Espin’s family.

After nodding lightly to her family, who expressed their gratitude the moment they saw me.

I handed the contract to Espin.

“You can cancel it if you ask a wizard within the family. “Please hand this to the expert wizard on the second floor.”

“… Uh?”

Spin looks embarrassed, as if he didn’t know that I would actually bring the contract.

As I looked at Espin like that, I realized that if she continued like this, she would be bombarded with all kinds of questions, so I took her steps as if running away and spoke briefly.

“I have something to study for a while, so don’t disturb me. “Butler, I would like to ask you to entertain the guests.”

“Yes. All right.”

I quickly headed to her lab, avoiding Espin’s attempts to grab me.

Just as we arrived at the lab and were about to continue our research on space expansion magic.

Someone is knocking on the door and calling me.

“Deer is… !”

When I heard the voice, it seemed to be Rumi.

At first, I thought I would just ignore it because it was so annoying, but since the Academy had handed over Espin, I decided to open it for now.

“What’s going on?”

They open the door and welcome you.

Rumi talks to me with a slightly red face and a foolish smile.

“Oh, no. It’s not like something’s going on. Just … “I want to see your face.”

If it were normal, she would have whined or done something strange.

Unlike usual, he spoke to me somewhat calmly.

I found it quite strange and looked at Rumi in silence, then opened her door a little wider and spoke.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

“Oh… That’s okay! “I only came to see the real face.”

“Come in.”

Rumi fidgeted at those words, but then she nodded her head and entered the lab.

I was sipping my coffee without saying a word as I looked at Rumi sitting nervously, wondering why she was so anxious.

I slowly looked at Rumi’s face and decided to try to figure out the cause of her anxiety.

“Has anything happened recently?”

When I ask how she is, Rumi looks at me with a face full of embarrassment.

I guess it’s because I’m unfamiliar with asking how I’m doing.

I was trying to act calm while receiving such attention, but Rumi smiled awkwardly and answered.

“Nothing’s going on… ! “Everyone is so nice and kind.”

For something like that, his expression is somewhat stiff.

I wanted to go into more detail, but any further interference could have the opposite effect, so I decided to stop at this point and continued.

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“… hehehehe.”

Rumi, who was smiling so awkwardly that it seemed awkward, immediately stood up from her seat, as if she was about to leave.

… She usually tried all kinds of tricks to stay in the lab longer.

As he was about to leave, I thought something was strange, thought about it for a while, and decided to just ask him directly.

‘For some reason, I feel like I’ll regret it if I keep going like this.’

I am confident that I have a good sense of humor.

I had a gut feeling that I shouldn’t let things go like this, so I quickly opened my mouth.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking. “No need to worry.”

“…… “

At those words, Rumi looked at me blankly and pursed her lips.

Since she can’t read Rumi’s mind, I’m not sure what she’s thinking right now.

If we recall her original novel and analyze Rumi’s actions… She most likely hit the nail on the head.

“Lerciega… No, because I won’t break down.”

I don’t know if I answered correctly.

Looking at Rumi’s much improved face, the thought that she probably didn’t give the correct answer crossed her mind.

As I looked at that expression, I slowly stretched out my hand and stroked her head as I spoke.

“So there is no need to think about it.”

If I saw this scene on the first day, I would have nagged him and told him that I was not like Dern at all.

I continued speaking, feeling that acting was gradually becoming more difficult.

“Get a good rest.”

“… Yes.”

Rumi nodded her head with her eyes redder than before, and then she ran out of her lab as if running away.

I’m not sure what kind of change in feelings this would have brought about.

I decided to focus on research, hoping that things would change in a good direction.

* * * * *

Rumi made her way quickly down the hallway, holding her slightly matted hair between her hands.

‘… Why?’

I usually don’t say things like that at all.

Did he say something like that when I was feeling shaken?

“…… “

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the reason, so I started walking quickly as if I was a little frustrated and taking out my anger.

I soon stopped near the open window and looked outside blankly.

Perhaps it’s because summer hasn’t arrived yet, but the cold night air slowly flows down my cheeks.

As I close my eyes tightly, feeling the night air, the words I heard earlier replay in my mind.

[I don’t know what you’re thinking. There is no need to worry.]

I don’t know how he felt when he said these words to me.

At least it was clear that the words were said out of concern for him, so strangely enough, he felt like crying.

She sniffled for no reason and quickly shook her face from side to side.

‘I don’t know either.’

When I was leaning against the window frame, thinking that I had no idea what the right choice was.

I remember a story I heard at lunch from a human from the Heavenly God Church.

[If you don’t want to hurt Dern, wouldn’t it be better to come back now? Otherwise, the priests might get really angry and do something.]

The moment that thought occurred to me, I felt my face, which had become hot, gradually cooling down.

Ever since I was adopted… This is because, without fail, she has seen ‘things she liked’ ruined and disappeared by the Heavenly God Church.

‘Dern said it wouldn’t happen like that… I want to believe it, but.’

To be honest, I couldn’t be sure if she would really be okay.

The Heavenly God Church were people who would really do anything to make their plan a success.

So, I wrapped my arms around her body, feeling the anxiety that I had tried to bury keep rising.

She then took a deep breath and repeated in her mind that she was okay.

As I was mumbling this for a while, someone gently pressed my back and spoke to me.

“Are you okay?”

Looking next to her, she sees senior Espin looking at her with a worried expression.

She smiled silently at her senior’s expression.

She leans against the window next to her and talks to herself.

“Is something difficult going on?”

“Oh, no.”

“No, it looks really difficult.”

“…… “

She is smiling awkwardly, thinking she is a sharp person.

Espin senior looks out her window and she talks to herself.

“You don’t know me, but… “I know a little bit about you.”

“… Yes?”

“I don’t know if you know, but I’m an inspector under the Department of Inspection. Of course, it’s only the end… “

“Ah.”

She blinked and looked at those words.

Senior Espin continues her story with a wide smile.

“Well, while I was researching the Heavenly God Church for some reason, I heard a story about you.”

I know about this.

Previously, when Senior Espin came to visit her mansion, she heard before her eyes that she had conveyed these words to Dern.

So, as she nodded without saying a word, senior Espin spoke with a sigh.

“Oh well. I was sorry back then. Since she became an inspector, she had to constantly be suspicious of others, so she developed an occupational disease of constantly being suspicious of those around her… “

“It’s okay.”

Hearing those words, Espin smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek. She

She soon sighs and she talks to herself.

“Anyway, I don’t know what it is, but why don’t you trust Dern? Me too … “I was able to solve it thanks to Dern’s help this time.”

As I looked at Senior Espin in silence, she waved her hand and spoke.

“It’s hard to tell the details, but she was in quite a bit of trouble because of her involvement with the Celestial Order, but I think all you need to know is that Dern helped her resolve it.”

I felt my heart pounding at the mention of the Heavenly God Church.

She thought that maybe it was because of her that Espin had suffered something unspeakable.

‘It’s not a pointless thought… ‘

From before, the Heavenly God Church has been persistently harassing the ‘surroundings’ of those who have become friendly with them.

There were many cases where the person I became close to made me despise or loathe me, so it was difficult to just say no.

So, it was around this time that conflict was blooming again.

I noticed someone walking hastily outside.

‘Sien Student Council President… ‘

Dern’s childhood friend and fiancé.

The moment I saw such an object, I could feel a strange emotion coming over me.
