71 – What is it? 2

As I looked at Luna licking the back of my hand with a nonchalant expression, I felt her headache coming on.

Even if you’re wearing regular clothes, it’s still a problem.

It’s not enough to wear cat ears and a cat tail… Doing something like that while naked is bound to give me a headache.

‘If you were going to transform, did you hide properly?’

I don’t know the psychology hidden under the desk, in plain view of Espin.

I really think that excessive consumption has caused a decline in intelligence, and I am trying to figure out what to do about it.

Espin glanced at Luna again and spoke in a shaky voice.

“… She was yelling at animals, animals, so I thought it was a joke. I never thought I would really like it… Well, everyone has different tastes.”

This situation itself was so unfair that I almost shouted no.

From the moment you refute it, you end up acknowledging that this situation is true.

I tried to keep her mouth shut and looked at Espin with a pitiful expression.

A silent sign that I have nothing to do with it.

Being a quick-witted Espin, he seemed to realize that I was not involved.

He tells me with a playful expression on his face, as if he doesn’t want to lose control of the conversation like this.

“So why is that person doing that?”

What should I answer?

I’m thinking about what the most ideal answer would be in this situation.

Luna, who was dozing under her desk, came out of the desk and spoke to me through her long yawn.

“… The owner… Seeds too… “I’m full because I ate a lot.”

“…… “

At those words, Espin in front of me looked at me with her somewhat trashy eyes.

Soon, he spoke to me in a very calm voice.

“What the hell… “What are you doing?”

Until now, I had accepted it as a joke or a misunderstanding.

It seems like they decided that it wasn’t a joke or a misunderstanding.

I sighed and spoke to Espin, who was looking at me with a rather serious expression.

“It’s a terrible joke.”

“… Joke? Yes, it must be a joke. That … hmm. “Some people say things like that are a joke.”

This must be what it feels like to sigh.

I kept my mouth shut for a moment due to the extremely frustrating situation.

Soon, he punched Luna on the head and spoke.

“Let it go back to the way it was.”

“I don’t like it.”

“If you don’t turn around, I won’t pet you again.”

When we heard that we would not pet him, Espin looked at us from the side with an excited expression.

I urged Luna to resolve Espin’s misunderstanding.

Luna looked at me with a pouting expression on her face, but then she returned to her cat form again and spoke.

[Okay!?]

When I change into cat form and speak human language, I don’t know why it sends out mana waves so that only I can hear it.

I looked at Espin, thinking that somehow the misunderstanding would have been resolved.

Espin looked calmer than before and spoke to me in a calm voice.

“Ah… “It was something like that.”

I wanted to hear in more detail what that was.

I felt like my shame wouldn’t be able to withstand any more words, so I decided to get my peace of mind back by sending Espin out to her guest room.

“Then it’s late at night, so let’s go.”

“Uh… huh.”

Espin nodded her head and looked at me.

He added words to me as he left the room.

“… “Would you like to tell others about your tastes?”

After those words, I immediately got up and tried to catch Espin.

Espin laughs mischievously and runs down her hallway.

As I was sitting on the sofa, thinking that I was in a lot of trouble, Luna came up on my thigh and talked to me.

[I like it, master… ]

I patted Luna’s back as she clung to me, and decided to educate her on the human way of thinking later.

* * *

Let’s go the next day.

As promised, Espin delivered to me a report containing detailed information to the inspection department.

“I had a strange feeling the whole time I was writing it because I felt like I was betraying something… Well, if you think about it, I’m now on the same team as you rather than the inspection department. “It was possible to compromise to some extent.”

I nodded roughly and looked through the details of the inspectors’ details.

‘In essence, there is no reason or need to touch them.’

If it’s holding you back, you’ll need to deal with it all.

I decided to catch those without influence later, and to arrest the head of the inspection department with the strongest influence first.

‘In that case, we first need to find out the location of the inspector general.’

Espin said that it is impossible to know exactly where it is because it changes its location all the time for security reasons.

‘I said there are places I usually go to.’

I thought it would be okay to just quietly search for those places.

I continued her words while holding Luna who was sleeping in her arms.

“I need your navigation skills.”

[Ugh… ]

Luna nodded and shook her head with a half-asleep look on her face, as if she was still sleepy.

Soon the cat was wiggling her paws and talking to me.

[Who can I find?]

With those words, I told her information about the inspector general, and Luna nodded her head and said she would do so.

[Then… I’ll find it for you.]

Thanks to feeding them many seeds of negativity before, their search ability has been greatly strengthened.

Assuming it wouldn’t be that difficult to find, I decided to stop by the places the inspector general said he frequented.

*

There are three places in total where the inspector general frequently stays.

There were three locations: the basement of a bar in the center of the shopping district, a cabin near the academy, and the basement of the central government.

Of these, the central government is relatively difficult to access, so we decided to stop by the other two places first.

After I reached a reasonable compromise with the professors.

I immediately left the academy during lunch time and stopped by these two places to find the head of the inspection department.

Unfortunately, she didn’t come to these two places, and Luna only repeated that she couldn’t find anything.

‘Then the only place left is the central government.’

No matter how much I am, I haven’t completely grown up yet, so it’s difficult to go in recklessly.

While I was thinking about what to do with this.

Luna gave me one solution.

[The leader cat said that. When looking for the enemy, he said not to go looking for them, but to make them come find you.]

“Are you telling me to come find it?”

[Yes. It will be revealed if the other party shakes up what they want or what they don’t want to show.]

At those words, an interesting thought occurred to me, and I thought about it as I patted Luna’s head to mean that she did a good job.

‘It’s time to use the contract.’

This contract itself is probably an item that the inspector general does not want others to see.

It would be good to secretly spread the word that you are holding this.

Once that decision was made, I decided to return to my home and prepare for this and turned around.

*

The preparation method was simple.

Cut out only part of the contract and the mark that implicitly reveals that it belongs to the head of the inspection department.

All we had to do was copy this and make it so that it could be posted anywhere in the central government.

However, it was too much work to do alone.

I was working on this with the help of Espin and Rumi.

The problem is that Rumi’s condition has deteriorated significantly.

“… “What are you looking at?”

In the original novel, Rumi begins to criticize me, using words he would never use.

Not only did he reveal his malicious intent towards me so openly, but I could see his hands shaking and fidgeting, so I knew it was all an act, but…

‘The intensity is getting worse.’

I ignored Rumi’s words, thinking that maybe he was showing some sincerity because he was dissatisfied with being asked to do the work itself.

‘It would be better to maintain this relationship for now.’

At least until I know exactly what my future will be.

I manifested Mana, thinking that it would be better for both of us to maintain this ambiguous relationship.

‘Then, as soon as these are roughly completed, we will attach them using space compression magic.’

The head of the inspection department decided to trick us into going around looking for us.

When I was thinking about that and playing with my hands.

Espin must have realized that the relationship between Rumi and I had calmed down considerably, and she spoke with a subtle look.

“… “Is it Rumi?”

“Yes?”

“How about maid work? “Is it worth it?”

“Yes. “I am grateful to everyone for their hard work.”

“… I’m glad.”

I told the maids to take good care of Rumi, so in a way, it would be a natural conclusion.

I was picking up a piece of parchment lying underneath, feeling unimpressed.

Espin was watching closely, and perhaps to break the mood, she told Rumi something quite shocking.

“… By the way, did you know that cats can turn into people? “The last time I saw you, you were very pretty.”

At those words, Rumi stopped her hand and narrowed her eyes as she spoke.

“… “A person?”
