46 – Crack

I put the silent seed of denial in my pocket and looked away.

If you look at this guy’s cute appearance and way of talking, there will be some who think I’m overdoing it.

‘I’m not kind enough to forgive someone who openly betrays me.’

It would have been appropriate to treat it this way.

With that thought in mind, I looked around to see if there was anything else I could check.

‘I don’t see anything particularly useful.’

They probably thought of this as a temporary base rather than a base, so they only brought the bare minimum of supplies.

I looked around at those things and used magic to pop them and slowly get out.

If I tell Espin what I experienced earlier, I thought it might help figure out why the Heavenly God Church made such a large-scale move, so I summoned Espin and told him.

As soon as Espin heard the story, he looked at me with a somewhat strange expression and continued his story.

“… After the Heavenly God Church set a trap and kidnapped the informants. “You were brainwashing the kidnapped informants and making them extract information from you?”

When I nodded at those words, Espin looked like he didn’t believe me at first.

The Heavenly God Church that I captured… To put it more accurately, I showed him something that looked like human earthworm soup compressed in a box, and he quickly nodded.

“Oh, I guess that’s right.”

Would it be a mistake to think that he showed a momentary expression of astonishment?

I looked at Espin, crossed his feet, and spoke calmly.

“Don’t expect reason from them. “These are guys who will do anything for their own ends.”

“…… “

At those words, Espin looked back and forth between the Celestial Church members in the box and me, and his lips twitched as if he had something to say.

I guess I decided I shouldn’t do it, so I just kept my mouth shut and nodded.

When I look at Espin like that, I turn my head and think it’s a bit bland.

Espin sighs and talks to me.

“… “Anyway, if the informants passed over, there may be some among our informants who fell over as well.”

“I guess so.”

“Of course, it seems unlikely because there is a mental protection spell or something like that, but… “You better look for it.”

As I listened to that, I told Espin one thing he was overlooking.

“I’m telling you because I think you’re misunderstanding something. “Why do you think there won’t be people from the Heavenly God Church in the Inspection Department?”

“… What?”

“Starting from the security management department, high-ranking nobles and high-ranking administrators are also involved, so do you think there won’t be such people in the inspection department?”

At those words, Espin had a tearful expression on her face, as if she felt quite bad about insulting the group she belonged to.

Perhaps because she couldn’t deny it rationally, she calmed down her expression quickly and nodded her head.

I slowly continued speaking to Espin.

“Even if it is not necessarily the Inspection Department, there is a possibility that it is a ‘mental magician’ who is applying to the Inspection Department.”

“Mental wizard… ? Are you talking about the wizard who casts the mental protection spell I mentioned earlier?”

At her nod, Espin’s expression changed to a rather serious one, as if he had caught something, and he fell into trouble.

I left Espin to think about it, and as some time passed, I slowly raised my suspicions.

“If humans from the Heavenly God Church have infiltrated the inspection department over a long period of time, there is a high probability that most inspectors will have been caught in a trap.”

Espin was taken aback by those words and spoke to me.

“Not me.”

“Maybe that’s the case now. “If what you set is a trigger, then not yet.”

In a situation where there is enough suspicion, Espin keeps her mouth shut, unable to say anything as her mind becomes complicated.

Of course, all of these are just ‘guesses’, so we should not be hasty in making judgments.

‘If it were the Celestial God Church, they would be able to do that.’

For some reason, I spoke to Espin, thinking that he might have already done that.

“It would be better to ask our family’s wizards to conduct an examination. Of course, it’s your choice to receive it, but don’t make a decision you’ll regret.”

Hearing those words, Espin clenched his fists as if he wanted to deny my suspicions.

He tells me in a tone that it can’t possibly be that he’s being upset for no reason.

“Well, there won’t be anything to worry about anyway.”

He stood up and said there was no problem at all.

She speaks to me in a confident voice.

“If, as you said, there is something wrong with my mental magic, then just like your nickname, I also have four…” “

“Stop.”

I quickly stopped Espin as he tried to bring up the curse and dark history created by Delia.

I thought it would be difficult to handle it any longer if the number of dogs who wanted to be my dog increased.

‘No, to be honest, even now… ‘I can’t handle it.’

I think it started out as a prank mixed with Delia’s provocation.

Now that there are people who are playing this role with a bit of sincerity, I sincerely decline the offer because it is too burdensome.

Espin talks to me with a strangely unpleasant look on his face.

“Oh really? Well, now I’m going to take care of the dog, right? Are you saying a kid like me isn’t even worth thinking about?”

It’s a bit of a pain.

I was holding my aching head and wondering what to do about it.

From noble mtl dot com

Someone crawled out from under the desk in the living room and shouted.

“… “No more, no more!”

Judging by the voice, it seems to be Rumi.

I looked away, thinking that it was quiet even though Espin was here.

‘By the way, how have you been hiding until now?’

The most problematic thing about the current situation was the fact that neither of them noticed even though Rumi was hiding.

‘If we were ordinary people, it would have been a simple incident.’

Even if I say that, in the case of Espin, I am an inspector whose top priority is security and search.

I can’t help but be a bit embarrassed to see that he doesn’t know that Rumi was hiding.

I’m actually looking at Espin with a hardened expression and holding her head as her headache is coming, but Rumi speaks in a hurry.

“Last time… Even bringing in a cat. I’m getting a new puppy this time, so I don’t want too many competitors… !”

Hearing the word cat, Espin looks at me and makes an expression demanding an explanation.

I didn’t want to answer so I avoided answering, so Espin spoke to me with a complicated expression in many ways.

“Would it have been better to say cat instead of dog?”

It’s extremely confusing.

I spoke to Espin, making a gesture that I didn’t want to hear any more of that.

“First, I will introduce you to the wizards, so take them and go… And let’s pretend there was no bet.”

“Of course.”

Espindo nodded her head as if she thought it was no longer a joke and quickly finished her topic.

As if we had made a promise, the two of us got up from our seats, said goodbye, and left.

I feel Rumi hurrying up behind me and following me.

After confirming Rumi, I spoke briefly while suppressing a sigh.

“Do you have something to say?”

At those words, Rumi shakes her head and speaks urgently.

“Well, it’s not like that. I just want to go this way… “

I don’t know how to react.

I stared at Rumi, then turned her head and headed toward the lab.

‘It seems like my personality has changed.’

I think I was the type of person who kept my distance from things I liked and looked at them from as far away as possible.

At some point, he couldn’t control these things and came closer to me, and now he started openly clinging to me and showing affection for me.

‘At this point, I can’t help but pretend I don’t know.’

I was aware to some extent that he had a crush on me.

In addition to the fact that Derne tried to rape Rumi, I gritted my teeth and ignored it because this body was not mine.

‘Even though I pushed him away, Rumi kept clinging to me.’

It was difficult to endure any longer.

I sighed, thinking that since I am also a man, it would be difficult for me to handle such things.

‘No matter how much I pour my mind into research and magic, there is a limit to what I can endure.’

I was really afraid that I would not be able to endure it later and would cross the line.

I looked at Rumi, who was following behind me with a smile.

I decided to talk about this later, but for now I decided to continue pretending not to know.

‘… ‘I haven’t decided for sure yet.’

When there is a way to return to Earth.

A conclusion to concerns such as whether to return to Earth or remain here.

‘If you think about it rationally, it was definitely right to stay here.’

As time passes, the Earth strangely begins to rise.

The firm will to continue living here was breaking little by little.

When I felt that change of heart, I decided that it was too early to decide anything.

When something is decided later.

Lumina Shien and Delia decided to respond to their feelings and decided to put it off for now.
