30 – Living Together 1

… No matter how much you have an escort attached.

I was concerned about leaving Rumi unattended in the middle of enemy territory, so I suggested that she come into my house.

Rumi looked at me with her stiff posture as if she was broken.

‘I guess I’m reacting like that because I don’t like it.’

It was a natural reaction.

Although it ended in an attempted attempt, they not only kidnapped him, but used violence as well, and even tried to rape him…

My existence itself was bound to be quite disgusting to Rumi.

‘My thoughts were too short.’

She thought that her consideration had disappeared as she continued to play Dern.

Just when I was about to tell her to forget what she said earlier.

She catches Rumi nodding her face quickly with a stern look on her face.

“Go, I’ll go. Right now… “

I couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised when I heard an unexpected answer.

To be honest, I thought she was going to slap me when she refused.

Because I couldn’t believe that she would just come into my house so obediently.

‘I don’t know if it’s because he’s the type of person who can’t refuse, or because he feels sorry for helping me in the past.’

No matter what happened, she nodded, thinking she was just sorry.

“Then let’s go together after we finish class today.”

“… Yes!”

Is it my mistake to look like I’m happy?

I thought Rumi wasn’t sure what she was feeling, so she slowly looked away.

* * * * *

When Shien heard that a big problem had arisen at the old school, she hurriedly headed to the old school.

Contrary to what she reported, there was no problem, and only the peaceful sight of her greeted them.

“Uh… la?”

The first reporter who saw this looked embarrassed and nervous.

I guess he has finally realized that it wasn’t right to report it to him without even understanding the situation.

In such a situation, she looked at him blankly and spoke in a calm voice.

“Next time, no matter how urgent it is, it is better to check the situation first.”

“… Sorry.”

“It’s okay. “Anyone can make mistakes.”

If I tell you this much, I will try not to make mistakes next time.

If I just keep thinking like that, I will get better someday, so for now I decided to wait until I grow up and turned around.

‘Then, let’s go to the student council president’s office and handle the remaining work… ‘

She was planning to go to see Dern under the pretext of returning the clothes she had borrowed from Dern.

She was already in a good mood at the thought of meeting Dern again, so she returned to the student council president’s office with a smile on her face.

“…… “

Dern’s clothes, which had been placed on the desk, were gone.

Looking under, searching through drawers, etc., Just in case.

I checked all the possible places, but no matter how much I checked, I couldn’t even find the hem of the clothes, let alone the clothes.

I was so embarrassed by this fact that I was blinking my eyes blankly, when one fact suddenly flashed through my mind.

‘… ‘False report.’

Apparently, a report came in about the old teacher, so I went out to check it and as soon as I came back, my clothes were gone.

I was wondering if he made this false report just to steal a piece of clothing.

I couldn’t help but have doubts because the circumstances matched up so well.

‘If the speculation is true… ‘I think the biggest question that will remain is who stole it.’

If we catch the person who made the false report, we will be able to get to the bottom of it.

With that in mind, I asked the first reporter who the reporter was.

“Uh… As soon as I received the report, I frantically went to report it to the student council president… “I don’t remember much except that it was a girl.”

The only answer that came back was that I couldn’t remember.

In response to that response, I looked at him in silence, then slowly lifted my gaze upward and closed my eyes.

‘It’s a girl… ‘

If you take into account that she is a girl and that the only thing missing from the student council president’s office is ‘Dern’s clothes,’ the range of people who could steal them narrows down considerably.

‘Delia or Rumi.’

I continued my thoughts calmly, thinking of the two who had been getting involved with Dern to the point where I felt like I had been overly involved with them recently.

‘In addition, if we classify only the people who knew that I had Sir Dern’s clothes.’

Only a person named ‘Rumi’, whom I met by chance in the hallway in the morning, remains.

“…… “

When that conclusion was reached, he looked out the window in silence and then shook his head, biting his lip tightly.

In her mind, she wanted to hold her responsible for this.

This is just a guess and not an official conclusion, so we had no choice but to stop for now.

‘Furthermore, if this matter escalates, it may even cause damage to Lord Dern.’

Pretending not to know and moving on would be the most ideal choice.

Even though I came to this conclusion, I was feeling a bit emotional and was struggling to control my mind.

From far away, I noticed Dern coming out wearing the ‘clothes’ she had lost earlier.

‘…… ‘

It appears that the criminal stole the clothes from himself and brought them to Dern.

The moment I realized that fact, for the first time, I felt a mixture of displeasure and irritation spread through my mind and realized that my expression sank.

‘I will not forget this.’

As the culprit has not yet been confirmed, it is impossible to say for sure.

She bit her lip hard, thinking that Rumi, who was restlessly following Dern, might be the culprit.

* * * * *

After all of her lectures were over, Rumi quickly approached me and started staring at me.

Strangely enough, I thought that she looked similar to a puppy waiting for its owner, so I spoke in a calm voice.

“Then let’s go.”

“… Yes.”

I slowly walked out of the classroom, seeing Rumi following me as if hesitating and clinging to me.

After that, we took the carriage that was waiting for us and returned to our home.

I see several maids waiting for us, including the maid who took care of Rumi last time.

I made a gesture to entrust Rumi to them and headed straight to the lab.

‘It would be better to complete the range magic first.’

The Rumiya maids will take care of it, so I decided to draw attention to it for now.

Right now, I’ve decided to finish the large-scale area attack spell and am putting all my efforts into it.

Someone is gently knocking on the lab door.

“Hey, can I go in there?”

A cautious yet trembling voice.

I paused for a moment in response to that voice and gave a short answer.

“No.”

“…… “I’m sorry.”

In response to my firm refusal, Rumi quickly apologizes and talks to me.

“Then… Because I’ll be waiting. “Please let me know when you finish work.”

After hearing that, I thought it would be better for Rumi if she rested in her room, so she continued her research without much hesitation.

*

She had been researching for several hours.

I was slowly getting hungry and was about to leave the lab to have a light meal, but I felt something getting caught in the door.

I wanted to know something, so I checked and saw Rumi curled up like a slug in front of the lab.

‘… Could it be that they’ve been like this for hours?’

I refused to tell him to rest comfortably in his room.

She let out a long sigh, thinking that she had no idea that she would be waiting for me so uncomfortable.

‘My head hurts.’

I wondered why on earth I was doing this, so I tried to shake my body to get up quickly.

I must have fallen into a fairly deep sleep and have no intention of waking up.

‘Well, at home, I was constantly in an environment where I received all kinds of criticism and couldn’t even sleep properly.’

For Rumi, it feels like a more comfortable place where no one touches her.

I looked at Rumi like that and sighed inwardly, then slowly picked her up and moved to the guest room near her.

“Wrong… sorry.”

When you are taking steps like that.

Even in my dream, I had no choice but to stop for a moment when I heard Rumi apologizing.

‘… ‘It’s an unfortunate fate.’

From noble mtl dot com

When she was thinking about the words that the humans from the Heavenly God Church had spoken to Rumi as if brainwashing her, they strangely lingered in her head.

Rumi must have woken up and looked up at me with a face full of tears.

Soon, he looks up at me with a bright smile and falls asleep again.

‘How sleepy do you have to be to fall asleep right away?’

If I describe it as it appears in the original novel.

The moment Rumi was about to fall into a deep sleep, she sprinkled cold water on her or forced her to wake up and made her do housework.

I’ve probably never slept this deeply before, except at my house.

I carefully laid Rumi down on the bed so she wouldn’t wake up and was about to head to the restaurant.

Suddenly Rumi grabbed the hem of my clothes and started pulling me inside the bed.
