The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

101 – Complaints?

I continued speaking, thinking that there was nothing more difficult than explaining a strangely distorted excuse.

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

“… Is it a misunderstanding?”

Thinking that I didn’t know where to start explaining, I held back a sigh and slowly opened my mouth.

“Okay. These are rumors that were distorted and spread from the beginning… “

While I was speaking, I couldn’t help but be momentarily speechless.

There were many reasons why I was speechless.

The biggest part of it was ‘Do I really have to say this out loud?’

‘In addition to the other women making a fuss, how on earth can I tell you that the rumor started because Rumi asked me to get pregnant?’

In the former case, Cien is also responsible to some extent.

In the latter case, it’s something Shien has never heard of, so it’s really embarrassing to say.

As I was pressing her forehead, wondering if it was right to explain this to her fiancé, Shien pushed her face towards me and spoke.

“Why are you doing this? Is there any problem?”

Sien’s unique sweet scent that hits you suddenly.

I felt Shien’s soft hair touched the back of my hand and shook her head.

“It’s not like that.”

“Is that so? If so, I’m glad.”

When Shien tells me that I’m okay, she smiles and lowers her body a little.

I looked at Shien like that and concluded that I had no idea what to say.

I had no choice but to try avoiding the topic.

“By the way, how are you doing lately?”

When I blatantly changed the topic, Shien looked at me as if she didn’t understand.

More than that, he seemed quite happy that I had asked about his current situation, so he smiled brightly and told me about it.

“As always, I am training swordsmanship and working as student council president at the same time.”

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes. If I may add, I often find myself thinking about Lord Dern these days.”

“… “

I keep my mouth shut, thinking I don’t know what to answer.

Shien looked at me blankly and then asked me a question in a voice full of shame.

“… Lord Dern. What do you think of me, Lord Dern?”

Even though he can’t make eye contact properly because he’s too embarrassed, he seems to be looking forward to it based on his bright eyes.

Looking at Shien like that, I slowly nodded and spoke.

“I’m doing it.”

I had no choice but to do it.

Even though I don’t want to think about it, there were too many things that got me involved with Shien.

However, since there is no need to talk about it later, I omit it, and Shien speaks with a very satisfied expression.

“… Is that so. Thank goodness.”

Then, with a big smile, he hugged me carefully and then spoke to me in a calm voice.

“Then let’s go back now.” If you feel like it… “I want to steal Lord Dern’s lips, but if I do that, I’ll be doing just that all day, so I’ll just hold back and go back.”

With those words, Shien bows and says hello to me, then immediately goes outside.

I closed my eyes, laughing at Shien’s somewhat stormy behavior.

The next day, when I returned to my room after leaving the academy, I saw Espin waiting for me.

It appears that he came to discuss the previously mentioned assassination of Delphian, the head of the Magical Society.

As I approached Espin, Espin opened her mouth toward me.

“I researched all the information about Delphian and put it there, so please refer to it.”

I lifted the grimoire and nodded.

Espin slowly opened his mouth to me.

“It’s the Delphian assassination… To be honest, I don’t really recommend it. It is difficult to assassinate, and more than anything, the repercussions of assassination seem to be excessive.”

At those words, I nodded and continued talking.

“I know.”

“But why on earth do you want to do this? There are other ways to bring down the Heavenly God Church.”

In response to that question, I met Espin’s eyes and told her one thing she had forgotten.

“The essence of the Heavenly God Church is a gathering of demons that exist to bring down demons, so this method is correct.”

“… Ah.”

If they were a group of ordinary humans, I might have used a different method.

In any case, it is highly likely that humans are divided into relationships based on their own interests, regardless of the concept of good and evil.

‘But the demons.’

Since the goal itself was the same as ‘conquering the Earth and annihilating humanity’, there was no need to save it.

‘No, it would be correct to say that they should not be kept alive any longer than that.’

So, I looked away, thinking that annihilating those related to them would have a positive impact on the world Rumi would live in.

“Are there any other questions?”

“No, not really…” “Well, I can roughly understand it.”

I nodded my head appropriately at Espin’s words and walked slowly.

“Then we need to discuss the date of the operation and the method of assassination. Do you have anything planned?”

“I made a rough outline just in case.”

I nodded with some satisfaction at Espin’s extremely capable actions

Espin looked at me and smiled awkwardly as she continued speaking.

“In order to be recognized as an official religion, official permission from Congress is required. Among the conditions for permission, the consent of commoners, including nobles, is also required.”

“… Citizen?”

Something unexpected came out and I looked at Espin with a puzzled expression.

Since this worldview itself is an extreme class society, I thought the opinions of commoners would not be listened to at all.

It was surprising to hear this because it was unexpected.

“Oh, of course that’s what it says. In reality, it is an element created by powerful nobles to increase their speaking power. Just think of it as a decision between nobles.”

Apparently, the commoners mentioned there are puppets who relay the opinions of the nobles.

To put it another way, when voting, you could think of it as creating an alt character and casting two votes.

“Of course, the standards for commoners who can express that opinion are quite strict. It’s not something everyone can do, but… In any case, what is important now is that the nobles decide this issue among themselves.”

I nodded my head at those words.

Espin looked at me and pointed to the grimoire.

“That’s why Delian is running around in various ways to recruit high-ranking nobles who will take his side his his his. One of them is the Per family.”

Per family.

This is the family that Shien belongs to. It is a knightly family that values strict discipline.

I nod, remembering this, and Espin looks at me and continues his words.

“Anyway, according to the information, Delian has been running around in various directions trying to recruit the Per family recently, but as you know, that family is a fairly stubborn family, so it’s not working well.”

I nodded, thinking I could tell what Shien felt just by looking at his personality.

‘I don’t know how Shien’s father feels.’

I looked at Espin, thinking that there was a high probability that he was someone as stiff as Shien.

Espin looks at me and smiles.

“Then a question arises here. Why is the Celestial God Church stubborn and trying to persuade your fiancé’s family, the Per family? There is only one answer to such questions.”

“If we can just convince the Per family, everything will be solved.”

“That’s right. So there is a high probability that he is being persuaded.”

Once the family passes, official recognition is over…

I’m nodding my head at those words and thinking about what to do.

Espin smiled brightly at me and spoke.

“And to paraphrase this… “If the Per family doesn’t go over, it won’t be recognized, so why not try taking advantage of this?”

“You’re using it?”

“For example, something like informing the Per family about the true nature of the Celestial Church?”

Espin slowly approaches me, grabs my hand and touches it, and then she slowly continues her words.

“If their identity is made known to the Per family, the Per family, which has been maintaining balance, will realize that they are demons and begin to do something.”

“If that happens, it will put tremendous pressure on the Heavenly God Church.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Sounds like fun.”

However, it would be a bit disappointing to end here, so I added one additional thing to Espin.

“In addition, how about asking the Per family to put an end to the bishop-level person on their side?”

Espin nodded as if he thought it was a good idea.

I continued speaking while looking at this.

“Then it would be a good idea to meet with the head of the Per family tomorrow and talk about this.”

She ended the strategy meeting by deciding to ask Shien to talk.

*

Because it was decided to do so.

I immediately went to see Sien and she said she wanted to meet the ‘head of the Per family’.

Shien spoke to me with the brightest expression I’ve ever seen.

“So that means… “So you’re saying you want to meet in person!”

I covered my forehead, realizing that Shien had completely misunderstood something about her.
