The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

37 – Doll Gift

To the extent that the description ‘everything around exploded’ is appropriate.

Starting with the corpse, the numerous dolls and tools the priest had created, and even the walls that made up the underground waterway were all destroyed.

I spoke as I saw that most things around me had disappeared as if an explosive had been set off.

“You were there.”

Is it correct to say that I was there?

The priest who was controlling the puppet had already been completely charred and passed away.

I’m looking at that guy who looks like he’ll turn into ash and scatter if I touch him.

– Flinch

You can see that it is moving even after receiving damage that would have killed an ordinary human instantly.

‘Take that and live. ‘That’s fun.’

I don’t know if I endured it because I had high stamina or if there was some other reason.

I approach it thinking that whatever it is, it’s somewhat interesting.

I could see a strange mana faintly spreading from the priest’s body.

Excessively soggy and sticky, reminiscent of wastewater.

I don’t know how to express this exactly.

Different from regular mana… I frowned, feeling as if there was malice in it.

‘Could it be demonic energy?’

A unique power that only comes from those called demons.

I frowned, thinking that I could not figure out why such power would come from a ‘priest of the Heavenly God Church.’

‘Did the Demon King plant a spy in the Celestial Church? Or not … ‘

From the beginning, the Heavenly God Church was connected to the ‘Devil King’.

I couldn’t tell which of these two assumptions was true.

One thing is certain: whatever it is, you can kill it.

After realizing that fact, I tried to beat it to death with a mace, but a pretty good idea occurred to me and I stopped.

‘I think it would be better to keep it as evidence?’

If you kill him, that’s the end.

If this is used to inform the central government or the Magic Society, there will be quite a big uproar.

I spoke with a smile when I calculated that if the commotion got that big, no matter how many scheming members of the Celestial God Church, they would have to take precautions.

“Bring in the other guys and collect all the evidence here, then keep this guy in the torture chamber.”

Hearing those words, the guard knight looked dumbfounded, as if he still couldn’t believe the magic I had used.

I immediately nodded and spoke politely.

“… All right. “I’ll call you right away.”

Before I first came here, I felt like I was simply dealing with an immature master.

Now, in addition to the feeling of seeing a monster, I have a strong feeling that I have been recognized as a wizard.

I slowly looked around, thinking that the change was somewhat amusing.

‘By the way, it was a large-scale human experiment… In the original novel, there were two main reasons for doing this.’

The first was to mass-produce undead and use them to cause damage to those around them and make profit by disposing of them.

Second, it was to create powerful chimeras to deal with those that even the Celestial Church could not handle.

‘The first part was the part that appeared and was mentioned the most in the novel.’

If you think about this as a reader and as a possessed person.

I thought that the Celestial Church places the most importance on the second, creating powerful chimeras, rather than the first.

‘In any case, if the Heavenly God Church wants to take over this world, they have to deal with the so-called monsters.’

As long as there are people who are beyond the category of humans, such as sword saints or archmages.

No matter how powerful they became, there was a clear limit, so they were probably creating something like a chimera to deal with it.

‘It’s about becoming stronger.’

I don’t know how they are making it.

Looking at the corpses that kept popping out, it was clear that the method was not normal.

With that thought in mind, I slowly went inside and discovered that there was a huge cavity.

‘Was it because of this?’

I laughed out loud as I saw about a thousand people trapped inside the cave like a beehive.

There was no need to come out, but I realized that the reason I came out and fought the battle was to protect this.

I took a quick look at the facilities in question, assessing the situation.

‘Is this an undead transformation operation? This is a chimera modification… And this.’

As I was walking, I stopped when I saw a pure white box the size of my palm.

… Since I didn’t have any information, I didn’t know exactly what this was.

One thing that was certain was that it was not an ordinary item, given the considerable power contained within it.

‘It would be a good idea to take it and check it first.’

I grabbed this box thinking that it might be related to ‘the reason why the Heavenly God Church has been arresting so many people recently.’

The moment I grab the box, a strong energy suddenly spreads out, as if it is rebelling, and tries to eat me.

I laughed at such resistance and spoke by stamping it with mana.

“You’re arrogant.”

At best, I don’t like the idea of things trying to push me down.

I hit it harder than usual, and the box lowered its energy like its tail and became quiet.

After seeing this, I felt like I shouldn’t start a fight, so I strangely didn’t like the idea of running away, so I wanted to make him pay for it.

I hit the box hard with my fist without saying a word.

– Kwaek!

Then, a strange sound is heard, a groan is made, and the box begins to shake and vibrate.

… It appears that it was an object with an ego rather than a regular box.

Thinking that something quite interesting had arisen from that fact, I roughly put the box in my pocket and turned around.

‘Then let’s go back now.’

The knights who will arrive soon will take care of the captured people, so I turned around, thinking that I would just go back like this.

I was slowly returning home after saying that I would go first.

I can see a doll store in the distance.

Originally, it was a store I would have passed by without even thinking about it.

Is it because I witnessed the cruelty of the Heavenly God Church firsthand?

I kept thinking of Rumi, who suffered from them on a regular basis, and it was difficult to get past this.

‘In addition, I decided to buy you a doll.’

Deciding to keep this in mind, I went into the store and picked up a doll that was suitable for hugging.

‘… ‘This will do.’

The only doll large enough to hug was a ‘dog-shaped’ doll.

I ended up purchasing something related to dogs this time.

I thought there was nothing I could do and went home with it.

When I returned home, the maids and butlers greeted me with worried expressions.

Not long after I left, they must have thought something had happened when they saw a large number of knights show up.

I told them it was okay and handed the gift box to a nearby maid.

“Please deliver this to Rumi.”

Fortunately, it was packaged in a gift box designed so that the contents were completely invisible.

The maid doesn’t seem very suspicious and she nods her head at me.

I thought I was a bit tired from looking at it and decided to take a shower for now.

* * * * *

Rumi was lying on her bed, thinking about her daughter who had not been looking for her recently.

‘Am I very busy with work?’

Last time I heard, they were talking about magic research… Maybe it’s because I’m continuing this story.

I don’t think I know any details about Dern.

Just when I was thinking about going to the lab and lying down to wait, someone knocked on the door.

“Rumi. Dern sent a gift.”

… A gift?

Perhaps because something completely unexpected appeared, I was so startled that I jumped out of bed.

Then she fidgeted and waved her hands frantically to and fro.

I quickly opened the door and spoke.

“Oh, hello.”

At those words, the maid nodded her head politely and then showed herself a rather large gift box.

“This is it.”

“…… “

It is so big that it is rather embarrassing.

I was blinking and wondering what on earth was in such a big box.

She talks to herself as the maid places a gift box on a nearby desk.

“If you want, I can help you unwrap your gift.”

“Oh, no, it’s okay. “I can solve it on my own.”

“I understand. “Then I will leave now.”

When she said it was okay because it seemed like a nuisance, the maid politely nodded and left her room.

She herself watched the maid’s back for a moment.

She carefully opened the gift box, expecting it to be the biggest thing she had ever seen in her life.

“…… ?”

What came out was a large dog doll the size of her own body.

She blinked blankly, as she had no idea that the blunt Dern would send something like this to her.

‘Did I send it by mistake?’

I think it may have been mixed with another gift.

When she thought about how the maid handled her work, she could be sure that she had not made such a mistake.

‘Then she is correct that Dern sent a dog doll… ‘Why?’

She thought deeply about such questions.

Suddenly, I felt a realization pass through my mind.

‘Dog dolls are… Anyway, it’s a dog. ‘It could be that he will recognize her as his dog from now on.’

Otherwise, I don’t think they would have sent a big dog doll and not a teddy bear.

It was late, but I sat down tightly holding the dog doll, feeling fortunate that I could still be recognized by Dern.
