The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

32 – Espin

Inspector Espin.

The youngest inspector secretly planted by the central government for inspection.

Her nominal reason for planting her in her academy was to keep tabs on the involvement of her high-ranking nobles in her academy.

‘It is only for nominal reasons.’

In reality, it was just the result of her father, a high-ranking administrator, expressing his desire for Espin to have a normal school life for her.

‘As a result, Espin was quite dissatisfied with the current situation.’

Perhaps because of that, she always maintained her fierce attitude and pushed away the people around her.

Her evaluation within the academy was quite poor.

‘Well, anyway, the important thing is. I guess I should use this to make Espin on my side.’

In addition to her status as inspector general, her ability to grasp information made her the youngest inspector general.

She will be able to give me considerable help when something like this is happening.

After recruiting her as much as possible, it would be a good idea to treat her like Delia.

‘Yes, as long as I can recruit him.’

I was lost in thought, recalling the note I had thrown into the painting earlier.

First of all, I threw in some material that Espin might like… If she runs away without biting her teeth.

This is because I had a feeling that things would become quite difficult.

‘Well, if things don’t work out, I have no choice but to find someone else.’

Still, if possible, she grabbed her quill, thinking that she would like to recruit Espin.

I don’t know if I should say it’s fortunate.

When it was time to leave school, Espin received a reply to her message.

[Go there earlier.]

Given that the reply was quite brief, it would be correct to say that he responded to understand the situation rather than to comply with my conditions.

When I saw that, I tried to head straight to the art room.

“… Where are you going, Derne?”

Rumi stands in front of me as if she were blocking my path and looks up at me.

I looked at Rumi like that, thought about it for a while, and then spoke calmly.

“I have a promise.”

At those words, Rumi’s expression slightly hardened and she lowered her gaze.

She quickly returns her expression to its original state and speaks to me.

“Oh… Then I’ll be waiting here.”

“It’s okay. It may be late. “You go back first and rest.”

“Gwae, it’s okay. “I can wait as long as I want.”

I was trying to tell you to do whatever you want.

I shook my head when I realized that there were still many people from the ‘Celestial Order’ within the academy.

“No. “Go home and wait.”

There would be no more frustrating situation than waiting for me and being tricked by the Celestial Church.

Let’s flatly refuse and tell him to go home.

Rumi talks to me, nodding her head sullenly, like a puppy getting caught in the rain.

“Yes… “

Looking at Rumi like that, I left a message to Delia asking her to take care of something, and then immediately left the classroom.

I passed the students who were busy walking around the hallways on their way to school and entered the art room.

I enter the art room, which, unlike the hallway, is extremely quiet.

I slowly approached the picture with Espin in it and opened my mouth.

“So what is the answer?”

When I asked briefly, Espin stretched out his hand inside the picture and gestured for me to come in.

It seems like it would be a burden to continue talking in the art room.

After seeing that reaction, I slowly entered the picture.

– Kwaaang!

My surroundings explode with a powerful explosion sound.

It appears that the attack flew sideways to avoid me on purpose, so it seemed like it was fired as a warning rather than an attempt to hit.

As I stared indifferently at the strong wind blowing, Espin gritted his teeth and spoke to me.

“… What is your identity.”

I responded to those words with a sneer.

“You are the first person to ask about my identity. Espin.”

“…… “

It was a very arrogant answer.

Actually, I answered like this because it made no sense for people to go to the academy and not know me, the youngest son of the Lercier family.

Espin stared at me, biting her mouth tightly, then smiled and spoke.

“… So why did the son of the famous Lercier family throw rice cakes at me? “I wonder why.”

I answered that as if it was obvious.

“Wasn’t it written on the note? Could it be that the famous youngest inspector can’t even read that?”

The moment I uttered the title of youngest inspector, Espin flinched and looked at me.

It seems that her title was an annoyance to her.

I looked at her like that and told her a short story.

“If you don’t like it, you can refuse. “For me, you are not the only option.”

This was true.

With my authority and ability, it wasn’t difficult to recruit others even if they were inferior to Espin.

“But there is no guarantee that this opportunity will come again for you.”

Not only does she hold the title of ‘youngest’ in real time, but even her father is her high-ranking administrator.

Would they really want to take on a dangerous mission?

‘If it were me, I would never leave it to you. If you leave it to them and something goes wrong, all responsibility will fall on you.’

So, her inspection department goes beyond just being a pet peeve and sees her as just her mascot.

She was in a situation where she was only entrusted with easier missions and lighter missions one after another.

‘Under such circumstances, through her father’s wishes, she came to the academy… ‘

In a situation where there was so much dissatisfaction, I was given an opportunity.

Even if she was annoyed, it was a very attractive opportunity for her.

She must have been well aware of that as well, as she tried to refute me, but she pursed her lips and closed her eyes tightly.

Soon, he lets out a long sigh and speaks to me.

“… So, what on earth do you mean that the ‘Celestial Church’ written on the note you threw is committing evil deeds?”

Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he subtly changes the subject.

I smiled slightly as I looked at Espin and answered slowly.

“Please do your own research and find out the details. No matter how much I talk about it, you won’t believe it until you see it for yourself.”

“…… “

“But if you leave it like this, you won’t be able to find any information, so I’ll give you a hint. Recently, too many dead bodies have been appearing in outlying areas. Let’s find out based on this.”

Actually, I came to ask because I didn’t know why corpses were occurring.

If I say that, Espin will look down on me and try to eat me.

It would have been right to stick to Party A’s position in this way rather than trying to exploit its weaknesses.

‘It will be easier to use it later.’

You say that based on that judgment.

Espin glares at me, but she doesn’t say anything and turns her head away.

‘If only I had done this much, it would have been enough.’

If Espin can’t find any evidence even with the information I gave him, he can just cut it off.

If something related comes to you, you can recruit it and acquire information at the same time.

I turned around, thinking that whatever happened to me was a benefit.

* * *

After talking with Espin, I was about to return to my home, when I heard the sound of someone walking hastily in the hallway.

I glance ahead to see who it is, and a familiar face catches my eye.

‘Sien.’

I thought he was busy with his work as the student council president, so I looked at him to see why he was walking down the hallway. As soon as Shien made eye contact with me, he smiled brightly and started walking towards me at a faster pace.

“Lord Dern… !”

Then he puts his face right in front of my nose and talks to me.

“Could you please spare a moment?”

“Time?”

“Yes. “There are things that cannot be done unless you are Lord Dern.”

There must be such a thing, but it is quite surprising that such a problem has come to Shien at this point.

I nodded, thinking it would be a good idea to check those words.

Shien smiled brightly and took me to the student council president’s office.

“So what should I do?”

As soon as I arrived at the student council president’s office, I asked why I was called.

She is fiddling with the papers on her desk, and she talks to me in some gibberish.

“… There was a big problem recently, and an emotional conflict arose… Oh well… “I’m sorry if I caused any inconvenience.”

Normally, I would have answered logically, but it is quite surprising that you answered in such a strange way.

I looked at Shien’s face, wondering if there was a big problem.

Shien looks at me like that and slowly lowers her gaze and speaks in a low voice.

“Her hand…” I want you to hold her hand.”

Hands? I looked at Shien in silence at the unexpected, though trivial, suggestion.

Speaks to me in a voice that gets quieter and louder.

“According to the clerk, simply holding hands can relieve stress and even improve relationships… “It would be really nice if you could hold my hand.”

If I keep going like this, my voice will become so quiet that I won’t even be able to hear what I’m saying.

Looking at Shien like that, I smiled softly and held out her hand.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Perhaps she didn’t know if I would really do it, but Shien smiled brightly and immediately tried to hold my hand.

When she saw the calluses on her own hands, she immediately hid her hands behind her back as if she was embarrassed.

I was looking at Shien like that and couldn’t help but say that it felt like she would continue to be like this if she stayed like this.

“Hand.”

… The way he spoke became like he was giving a command to a puppy.

I tried to talk about this to say that it wasn’t like that.

“Hey, I’m here.”

Before that, Shien placed her own hands on top of hers like a puppy.
