The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

81 – The Identity of the Captain Cat

Like someone who witnessed the end of the world.

Rumi looked back and forth between me and Delia with a smileless face.

“…… “

Then he stopped for a moment with a somewhat complicated expression.

She then bites her lip tightly and slowly takes her steps.

She was in such a frustrating situation that she tried to say something like she usually did.

[So please stop now. Please… ]

The words she had heard before came to her mind and she had no choice but to close her mouth.

If you really think like that… Just saying something could be a burden.

‘So let’s just leave it alone for now.’

As Captain Cat and Delia said.

She hugged Delia carefully, thinking that it might be better to ignore her for now.

I feel Delia, who was hugging me, shaking her body and burying her face in my arms.

‘I don’t know if this is really true.’

She hopes to get better and reveals her complexities.

Rumi slowly passed by me and muttered softly.

“… Trash.”

If you look at the situation, you might think that he simply said that because he was angry.

‘If you think about Rumi’s thoughts and personality from her original novel… ‘

I could tell that saying that was an unusual situation.

Due to Rumi’s personality, she usually degraded herself when she did so, because she was not the type of person to criticize others.

So, realizing that something was wrong, I was about to open her mouth, but before I could, Delia hugged me tighter and shook her head.

‘Are you telling me to leave it alone?’

I was conflicted at those words for a moment, but then decided to follow Delia and the cat captain’s words and closed my eyes.

‘Even if I come forward and make an excuse, nothing will change.’

If it’s not going to change, I thought it would be better to at least try to change.

‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

… I thought that if I just defeated the Heavenly God Church, everything would be resolved.

I never imagined that other additional factors would hinder me even more.

Just when I was thinking that all these situations were getting so twisted that I was getting a headache.

Suddenly, a black cat’s fur on Delia’s shoulder caught her eye.

‘Did you bury it while you were at the mansion?’

That’s because the outfit is different from before.

The moment I felt something strange and tried to catch it.

Delia talks to me, dropping her body from her slit.

“Rumi has gone.”

“…… “

With those words, I stopped her rising doubts and spoke to Delia.

“Thank you.”

“What, how much did I receive from you? “Of course I can do this.”

I spoke to Delia as she nodded her head at those words.

“By the way, is the house okay?”

“Oh yes. It’s painful to see the employees die… “It’s okay because the rest can be recovered.”

Maybe it’s because the family is famous for having a lot of money.

It is said that damage to the extent that an ordinary noble family would have been destroyed can be recovered.

As I was looking at Delia, thinking that she was amazing in many ways, she clapped her hands and told me that Delia must have thought of something.

“Oh, by the way, can I stay at the mansion for a while? “My house was destroyed and I had no place to stay.”

Didn’t you say earlier that you could stay in a separate building or villa in the mansion?

I remembered this and tried to refuse.

“Plus, I think it would be better for me to be here to make Rumi jealous.”

The second reason given later gave me no choice but to accept it.

I nodded, deciding to rent it since there were many empty rooms for guests anyway.

‘It feels like we are gathering more and more at our house.’

It is unavoidable to protect them from the Celestial Church, but I am thinking that there may be too many people flocking to them.

Delia talks to me with a bright smile.

“Then, since we never know when and where Rumi might be watching us, I think it would be a good idea for her to constantly engage in skinship like this.”

Rather than trying to make Rumi jealous, it seems like she made that suggestion to satisfy her own self-interest.

‘There is no other choice.’

I nodded, deciding to pretend I was being fooled and just do it for now.

After that, I returned to the lab and sat down on a chair, deciding to do some ‘research’ to calm my complicated mind.

When my mind was busy, it was best to do something that I could concentrate on.

I decided to move on to the ancient magic and came up with the next magic.

‘Space expansion magic.’

A concept opposite to compression magic.

It is not very difficult to use, but like space compression magic, it is a skill that requires ‘skill’.

For a while, there seemed to be a need to build proficiency in this field through research.

So, I decided to focus on this in my spare time and came up with the theory of space expansion magic.

I’ve been thinking about how to modify the expansion magic for a while.

Luna, who was in my arms, comes out and she yawns long and talks to me.

[The owner smells like a leader cat.]

I was somewhat taken aback by those words and answered with a laugh.

“Since you introduced it earlier, of course it smells like a cat.”

[Uhm, no. It smells like something was being hugged continuously!]

You were hugging? The moment I hear those words, the face of Delia, whom I was hugging earlier, flashes in my mind.

Because there was no one other than Delia that I hugged today.

While thinking about such things, I spoke to Luna as she shook her head.

“I’ve never held a leader cat before, so you must be mistaken.”

[No, it’s true!]

I was about to pass by those words, thinking he was a strange guy.

Suddenly, several questions crossed my mind.

‘Now that I think about it, isn’t there a strange overlap between what the big cat said about eating everything and taking responsibility for it and what he said about being okay with being Delia’s concubine?’

In addition, the opinion from earlier about ignoring Rumi was both said in a similar way to the point where it seemed artificial.

In addition, I was somewhat suspicious that I ‘met Delia’ as soon as I finished talking with the cat captain and went into the hallway.

‘… ‘Something is strange.’

Actually, this wasn’t the only strange thing.

If you think about it, Luna’s encounter with the leader cat was actually included in the most strange category.

‘The situation is such that not even stray cats, not even birds, are allowed into the mansion for security and hygiene reasons.’

At best, a stray cat was meeting Luna while avoiding security magic and the eyes of numerous employees?

When I thought about it, I could see that something was strange.

‘No, we may have met outside.’

Out of curiosity, she asked Luna where she first met the leader cat.

[Because I can’t leave you alone, master! We first met in the garden!]

They confirmed that they had met in a park within the mansion and ordered him to be killed, dismissing this as the truth.

At that fact, I silently snapped my fingers.

Soon, he calmed down his expression and asked Luna the last question.

“Does it smell the same as Delia and the Captain Cat?”

At those words, Luna nods her head and speaks as if it were natural.

[Yes!]

I felt her head hurt at that one word and covered my forehead.

* * * * *

Delia lay down in her guest room and stamped her feet.

I never thought things would turn out so well.

‘The correct answer was to transform into a cat and approach.’

Wanting to keep an eye on Dern a little longer, the right answer was for her to turn into a cat and wander around aimlessly.

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought her foresight was good, so I laughed and started shaking, but soon calmed down and got up.

‘Anyway, I kept pretending to be a cat and giving Dern advice.’

She lightly slapped her cheek with the palm of her hand, thinking that her goal was to get him to give her a ‘chance’ as well.

‘So let’s be careful not to let Dern find out that I’m the leader cat.’

To avoid being caught, he turns into the cat he saw in fairy tales as a child.

It goes beyond using tricks such as intentionally changing the tone of speech.

He imitated the cat exactly and even ate strange cat snacks, so Dern would probably never notice.

‘No… There is one thing that is a bit difficult.’

I just remembered it now.

Naturally, it bothered her that Dern had understood ‘when people were speaking’ and she had answered right away.

Fortunately, Dern didn’t seem to care much, but she would get caught if she didn’t pay attention to such trivial details.

She strengthened her resolve and told herself to be careful from next time.

‘Then what advice should I give you next time?’

Earlier, I advised you to show Rumi how you flirt with the girls around her.

She thought it would be a good idea to ask her to show stronger skinship and affection next time to stimulate Rumi more.

‘Hmmm…’ ‘I’m not satisfied with anything.’

She thought she was already happy at the thought of flirting with Dern.

She rolled around on her bed again, remembering the scent of Dern she had smelled earlier.
