The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

60 – Attack 2

‘… If I call out to Dern like that, will he follow me?’

Rumi fell down on her desk in a daze, remembering what had happened earlier.

She thought that if it was Dern, whom she had seen all this time, she would probably come running to her even if she showed signs of displeasure.

Contrary to that judgment, in a corner of her mind, she thought, ‘I could just ignore it and not come.’

‘Well, to Dern, I am just a burden that has no particular value and is of no help.’

This is not the self-deprecation she always did, but a conclusion she came to when she looked at herself objectively.

The more entangled he became with the Celestial Church, and the more damage Dern suffered from them, the more clearly this fact became visible.

‘If it weren’t for me, Dern would have been… ‘He wouldn’t have had to go through this.’

So, even though she was grateful to Dern for helping her, she was anxious that one day he would get tired of her and abandon her.

I feel someone calling me and carefully sitting down next to me.

“… “Can we talk for a moment?”

I couldn’t help but flinch for a moment at the word ‘story’.

Recently, he disappeared under Dern’s protection, but in the past, he often started fights or committed violence after calling him out in this way.

This is because the fear she felt in the past came back to her and gave her goosebumps all over her body.

So she got up in a somewhat frightened state, and an unexpected face caught her eye.

‘Spin senior?’

He is the competitor who took Dern earlier, and a senior who has recently become very close to Dern to the point of making him feel bad.

I don’t know exactly what he does because I don’t have anyone to talk to and I haven’t heard any real rumors.

From what I heard in the hallway, I remembered that he was a very dangerous and great person, and for some reason, I became depressed.

“W-what’s going on?”

I tried to speak as confidently as possible.

I stuttered for a moment, perhaps because of the imprinted fear.

By then it was quite embarrassing and she was clutching her own skirt and wrinkling.

“Can you give me directions to Rue Lercier?”

I heard something completely unexpected.

“Yes, yes?”

She pretended not to hear the question to ask him why.

Espin senior said she didn’t want to explain in detail and she just looked at herself and repeated what she had said earlier.

“Please guide me to Rue Lercier. “Dern said that.”

“… Ah, I get it.”

To be honest, there were a ton of things I wanted to ask and was curious about.

When she saw that Espin senior’s eyes were slightly swollen, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

… No matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t seem to be going to Lerciega for a very good reason.

“Then, I will ask you a favor during lunch after the next lecture… “It’s quite urgent.”

“Yes, yes.”

With those last words, Senior Espin leaves her classroom and she goes somewhere else.

As she watched this in a daze, she felt strangely uncomfortable in her chest and clenched her quill tightly.

As she promised, when the next lecture was over, Senior Espin came to see her and asked her to guide him to ‘Lerciegae.’

Since it was lunch time anyway, she had some time to spare, so she nodded, thinking it wasn’t that much of a problem.

Espin senior came to her side, somewhat vaguely showing her relief.

“Then I’ll leave right away… “

Remembering Senior Espin’s words that she was in a hurry, she is heading towards the Lercier family’s main house at a rather brisk pace.

In her hallway, a female student with narrowed eyes and a smile on her face approached her and Senior Espin.

“Oh my… Rumi, your complexion has improved a lot compared to before. “It looks like you’re eating well these days?”

She said hello, but it didn’t seem like it would be a big problem if you just listened to the conversation.

The problem here is that the female student who is talking to her is the first person she has seen in her life.

She tried to ignore the rather embarrassing words and pass by.

Before that, her female student grabbed her wrist and whispered softly.

“You’ve become very arrogant. “She couldn’t even carry her face when she was in the church.”

At such a single word, a terrible feeling spread throughout her body, as if insects were crawling on her, and she became nauseous.

The moment I look away to ask why she knows such a thing.

The female student continued her words with a mocking expression on her face.

“The church is busy right now, so they’re leaving you and Dern alone. “Do you know that if the church wants to do anything, they can get rid of you and Dern right now?”

Is it because I grew up seeing firsthand what the Heavenly God Church has done since I was young and how powerful they are?

Even though it is only a verbal threat, the feeling of anxiety creeps in as if a huge boulder is about to fall.

When you are unable to do anything in such a situation and are frozen in place, the female student continues her story with her smile still on her face.

“If you don’t want to hurt Dern, wouldn’t it be better to come back now? Otherwise, the priests will get really angry and I don’t know what they will do.”

When I heard the word priest, my mind was turning completely white.

Senior Espin, who was following behind her, grabbed her wrist and calmly opened her mouth.

“Get out.”

“… What?”

“f*ck off. I can not hear you?”

Then, he glared at the female student as if he were going to kill her and spoke coldly.

She took out her own magic book and spoke.

“I don’t know who you are. Because if you open your mouth one more time, I will tear you apart. “It would be better to go when you have good things to say.”

At those words, the female student seemed to be in tears and tried to attack him.

When she saw Senior Espin’s appearance, she bit her lip as if she thought this was not right and ran away as if she were running away.

Senior Espin saw this and looked away from her, and she spoke to herself.

“… Let’s ignore it and go. Guys like that aren’t even worth worrying about.”

Her head nodded and she started to take her steps slowly.

The story she heard earlier keeps echoing in her head.

[If you don’t want to hurt Dern, wouldn’t it be better to come back now?]

A strange sensation as if my heart was being stabbed by a sharp awl.

I’m talking openly about a problem that I’ve been ignoring for a long time.

Emotional agitation comes to me strangely easily and my mind becomes complicated.

‘Even in the eyes of others… ‘It seems like I’m causing a nuisance, right?’

No, no need for anyone else to see it.

From my perspective, he was not just a nuisance, he was an obstacle in Dern’s life.

That’s why the story I heard earlier about coming back kept lingering in my head.

‘… ‘If it’s not me.’

If you don’t have confidence, everything might work out properly.

While I was thinking about that, someone lightly tapped me on the back and spoke.

“Don’t pay attention to what that guy said earlier. “It just looks like she was trying to confuse your mind.”

“… Yes.”

“On the contrary, if you fall for such words, you will only be doing good to the Heavenly God Church. Just ignore it and do what you normally do.”

That tone of voice is somewhat dependable.

Thought that this was why Dern was becoming close to senior Espin, he lowered his head even more than before.

* * * * *

I laughed at the enemies who were so filled with fear that they could do nothing.

The guys who said earlier that they could tear me to pieces at any moment.

It was really funny that he was now shaking to the point where he was lucky if he didn’t urinate.

‘I would have done that if I hadn’t even shaved my mouth.’

I can’t help but laugh when I open my mouth.

I looked down at the guy who was trampled by my feet and was struggling, unable to do anything.

I slowly turned my gaze and looked at the abandoned mine.

‘I said there was a contract on the bottom floor.’

I think it would be a good idea to find out for yourself whether that is true or not.

I used mana to raise the guy underneath me and spoke briefly.

“Let me make a suggestion.”

I continued speaking to the guy whose face was covered in dirt and who couldn’t even speak properly.

“Please bring the contract from the bottom of the abandoned mine. “If you don’t get it, I will kill the comrades you brought one by one.”

This was the reason why Origin Explosion was used first on the abandoned mines rather than on the enemies.

Because it takes too much effort and is dangerous to go in and find the contract in person.

Rather than doing that, it would have been better to bring in enemies and have them come to you instead.

That’s why I made that suggestion.

He still couldn’t figure out what to do, because he was looking around with a bewildered expression.

I had no choice but to lightly hit his shoulder with the mace to make him come to his senses.

– Wow!

The sound of bones crunching.

I repeated what I said earlier as I heard loud screams along with those sounds.

“It’s your last chance. “Go and get it right away.”

He must have finally come to his senses after hearing those words, and his whole body was shaking.

He grabbed one of his tattered arms and started running towards the abandoned mine as if struggling.

‘Okay then… ‘I’d like to prepare a gift for you too.’

The Heavenly God Church sent me some sweet taffy.

I also raised the corner of my mouth, feeling the need to send a matching treat.

‘It was definitely a kidnapping and a contract.’

I thought that kidnapping was a field I was very confident in, and I began to have fun worrying about who to kidnap.
