The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

28 – Rumi

The person named Shien who appears in Yeoju Rolls was like a model of a more noble and upright knight.

I felt like Sien, who was cleaning in front of me, was closer to a wise mother and good wife who was good at helping the house rather than a knight.

I don’t know if it’s because the knowledge that was stuck in my head and what I’m currently seeing are quite different.

I had no choice but to close my eyes tightly, feeling a great sense of disconnection.

‘I’m not saying this is bad, but… Still, it feels strange.’

I looked at Shien, who was tying her ponytail with her headband in her mouth, with a somewhat blank expression on her face.

I struggled to come to my senses and fixed my gaze on the desk.

‘Let’s come to our senses. ‘Now is the time to focus on creating magic, not being distracted by Shien.’

So, let’s pick up her quill and pretend not to notice even if something strange happens and proceed with the research.

Sien, who was watching this nearby, cautiously approaches me and whispers to me.

“If there is any information you need, please let us know at any time. “I picked up the documents and roughly memorized what was there, so I can find it for you right away.”

“… Okay?”

“Yes. So please feel free to tell me anytime.”

I memorized all the contents of the documents I picked up in that short period of time.

I continued my magic research again, thinking that even if Shien had become a wizard instead of a knight, she would not have succeeded.

*

Approximately three hours have passed since then.

I was so engrossed in magic research that I slowly looked away, thinking that I had no idea how much time had passed.

I see Shien dozing off in a corner so as not to disturb me.

‘I guess I was very sleepy because I had to deal with my usual arduous schedule.’

It is not enough to undergo the murderous training unique to a knight.

I even take on the position of student council president, who is said to handle most of the things that happen at the academy.

It would probably be difficult to sleep well or have personal rest time.

‘It’s sad in many ways.’

I think he is the type of person who is so upright that he pushes himself too far.

I slowly approached Shien and carefully covered him with the organized outerwear so as not to wake Shien.

‘I would like to put you to bed.’

It felt a bit excessive, so it would have been better to stop at this level.

I watched Shien sleeping, then quietly walked away and resumed my magic research.

When late evening came, Sien must have woken up and quickly got up and apologized to me.

“D, Lord Dern. Sorry … “I never thought I would fall asleep.”

Hearing those words, I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“… Sorry.”

I said it was okay, but why am I so sorry?

I thought for a moment about calming Shien down like that.

When I realized that this behavior did not match Dern’s behavior at all, I shook my head and endured it.

‘Let’s just focus on research.’

That would seem like more Dern-like behavior.

With that thought in mind, I am conducting research again.

Shien got up from his seat and looked at me hesitantly, then carefully approached me and spoke.

“… “I have some work to do, so I’ll leave for today.”

“You had a hard time.”

“Yes. Lord Dern, thank you for your hard work.”

Shien looked around with a sullen expression on his face, like an abandoned puppy, as if he was quite sad about having to leave my lab.

He soon came to his senses and left, saying goodbye to me.

‘It was quiet to begin with, but now that Shien is gone, it feels strangely quieter.’

I looked around the lab where only silence was spreading.

I struggled to come to my senses and fell into research again.

* * * * *

As soon as Shien came out, her face turned red and she vigorously rubbed her own cheek with the back of her white hand.

‘I showed my shameful appearance to Lord Dern.’

… If possible, I wanted to show only my pretty and good side.

She closed her eyes tightly, thinking that she was just embarrassed to be shown like this.

She was going back to her house as if she was running away, thinking that she was beyond embarrassed.

Suddenly, Dern’s robe in her arms caught her eye.

‘… Uh?’

Because I just woke up and was out of my mind. She thought that the clothes she was holding were definitely her own.

When she came to her senses, she realized that it was not her clothes, but Dern’s clothes.

The moment she realized that fact, she panicked and tried to return it right away.

She became so strangely greedy that she had no choice but to stop because she wanted to keep it.

Dern’s unique sharp yet dry cypress scent spreads through her clothes and into the surrounding area.

I closed my eyes and stood there for a moment, smelling that scent.

Then he slowly buried his face in her clothes and just stood still for a long time.

‘… ‘I don’t know myself either.’

I don’t think I can figure out why this is happening.

After rubbing her burning face with the back of my hand, I headed towards her house as if running away, hugging Dern’s clothes tightly.

* * * * *

The next morning.

As if it was worth staying up all night, I smiled proudly as I looked at the new creative magic that had now taken some form.

‘It’s still a long way from completion as there are still a lot of work to be done here and there.’

The structure itself has been neatly combined, so there will be no major problems even if it is used in real life right away.

Thinking of that, I am smiling as I look at the newly created wide-area attack magic.

Outside the room, I could hear the maid knocking gently on the door, indicating that she had to leave for school.

‘… ‘I’m tired.’

I feel like I just want to take a nap, but if I do that, I won’t be able to maintain my position as head, so it’s better to hold out.

I was stretching out and getting ready for school when I suddenly realized that the clothes I had covered Shien with were gone.

I was laughing, feeling that Shien was definitely embarrassed when I saw that.

Suddenly, a cutely folded rabbit-shaped origami caught my eye in one corner.

‘Did Shien make it and leave it behind?’

I thought he was doing something quite cute, contrary to his actions.

I carefully lifted it, placed it on the bookshelf, and then left the place.

When I went to school with somewhat sleepy eyes, the first person to greet me was Delia.

“Are you here?”

Delia smiled and looked at me. She

She immediately took out a book and spoke to me.

“I brought it to you after completing the information you requested about the Celestial Church.”

Already?

He looked somewhat suspicious when I heard that the information investigation that was supposed to take a week was completed in one day.

Contrary to my expectations, I was quite surprised to find that the grimoire contained quite detailed and accurate information.

‘Contrary to what he does, he’s quite good at his job.’

I looked through the contents of the Celestial Order written in the grimoire and spoke with a satisfied smile.

“Well done.”

Delia looked at me with an embarrassed expression, as if she didn’t expect me to praise her so obediently. She

Soon she couldn’t hide her joy and answered, ‘Yeah, really?’

I was concentrating on my book, leaving Delia, who was quietly smiling next to her, when someone spoke to her from the side.

“Hey, over there.”

I looked to the side to see if there was someone, and Rumi was looking at me with her restless face.

Soon, he took out my clothes that Shien had brought with him last night from his arms and spoke.

“This… “I brought it because someone else was holding it.”

Why does Rumi have this?

I couldn’t understand the situation at all, so I looked at Rumi.

Rumi carefully arranges my slightly wrinkled clothes and places them on my desk.

Then, with an unidentifiable smile on her face, she nods and returns to her seat.

“…… ?”

Am I the only one who feels strange today?

I looked at Rumi’s body to see if something had happened to her, but I didn’t see any injuries.

‘I haven’t heard anything from the escort… ‘I don’t think I was violated, so why did I do that?’

I looked at this thinking something was strange.

Soon, she shook her head and, looking at my clothes in front of her, a bigger question came to mind.

‘How on earth did you get this? ‘How did you know it was my clothes before that?’

… It was not easy to guess anything.

I looked at Rumi and wanted to ask her about her teeth.

I felt like I would be looking into an abyss if I asked for no reason, so I tried to keep her mouth shut.

So, I decided to pretend not to know if possible and continue reading the grimoire.

“… Rumi’s condition is particularly strange today.”

Delia, who was next to me, continued her conversation, bringing up a topic that I had tried my best to pretend not to know.

“Could something bad have happened?”

“… Something bad?”

“Yes. “What he’s doing makes me feel like a puppy that has been hurt by someone.”

No matter how much I think about it, I have no idea what that feels like.

I’m trying my best to get over this, thinking I can’t understand it at all.

I was suddenly able to think of a problem.

‘… Come to think of it, has she talked to Rumi recently?’

The moment I remember that we have never exchanged words since I rescued him.

I had no choice but to stop turning the pages of the grimoire.
