232 – Do Somethin’ (2)
Isabella Len Lopez, the first saint of the Lenimid doctrine.
From Noble mtl dot com
Since she was young, she has had a special ability [Mind reading]. Should I say it ‘thanks’ or ‘because of’ it.
Thanks to her ability to see into the hearts of her opponents, despite being the daughter of a fallen nobleman from a weak country, she took the position of first saint of the Lenimid religion, the only religion of humans on the continent.
Unwillingly, she always saw people’s blatant malice and dirty thoughts, which led her to develop a sense of contempt for people.
Anyway, it became clear that the saint was interested in me.
I don’t know the reason. What’s going on, why are you looking for me?
In the worst case, they may know that I am possessed.
Even in the ‘store’ where I thought there were no missing items, there were no items that could block Isabella’s unique abilities.
······But she continues to be unable to avoid it. The saint is a key character in this work, so she also has to check trends.
Just as I was about to nod to Claire──
[Surprise Quest: Meet Saint Isabella Len Lopez alone in the student council room.]
Reward: 1 store gold coin
Remaining time limit: 00:59:59
──A transparent window appeared before my eyes.
I don’t know who dropped me into this world, but it feels like my every move is being watched on CCTV.
‘I’ll go even if I don’t do it. Hey.’
After thinking about it, I nodded to Claire.
“I understand, Claire. Let’s go. However, it’s late at night, and I have classes starting tomorrow morning, so I hope it ends quickly.”
“It won’t take that long, Theo. Come this way.”
I followed behind Claire.
As expected, as if the quest window knew everything, the place Claire guided me to was the building where the student council room was located.
The student council room is also where Isabella spends most of her day. Even washing and sleeping are done here.
As if Ellinia Academy had a blatant preferential policy for the warrior department, the student council room was even equipped with shower facilities.
Meanwhile, Claire and I arrived in front of the student council room.
“We have arrived.”
Knock knock – Claire knocked on the student council room door.
* * *
After ordering Claire to bring Theo, inside the student council room.
Isabella sat alone, leaning back in her chair.
‘That mysterious bastard will arrive soon.’
Claire said she would ‘definitely’ bring it. And when Claire used the word ‘must’, nothing was left unfulfilled.
Tok, tok, tok, tok…
Isabella tapped her desk with her fingers.
‘······Could it be that I’m nervous right now?’
From a young age, she was far from nervous.
She had no reason to be nervous in the first place.
Her special ability [Mind Reading] Is that she was able to read the thoughts of not only humans, but also Orcs, Lizardmen, Elves, Fairies, Beastmen, etc., All beings belonging to the realm of ‘humans’. .
Of course, the members of the Lenimide Church, of which she is the first saint, are all made up of humans except for a handful of her, so her humans can make her even more nervous. There was none.
But why am I nervous?
Is it because that mysterious bastard was the only one whose powers didn’t work?
‘······No.’
It’s about the human heart. I’ve already seen it so much that I’m sick of it.
Honestly, the number of samples would be at least several million. At first glance, he was probably just another human being.
In my opinion, there is one thing about humans that is fun and not fun at the same time.
Humans have a stronger tendency to abandon others in front of their own gain than any other species.
In other words, it is selfish.
I have seen people cry out that humans are not such beasts… But… Well.
I am sure that he is a bastard who has never seen the abyss of humanity.
Or he could be indirectly claiming that he has a different conscience and moral concepts than others.
‘What a bunch of bastards.’
From the beginning, I have seen the abyss of humanity every day since childhood.
It was fortunate that humans were creatures of adaptation.
Those disgusting feelings have gradually become dull, and now I can interact with other humans for a while and live my daily life.
If not, he would have gone crazy long ago and committed suicide by hanging himself.
‘Yes. The reason I’m doing this right now is because of the old guys at the headquarters. ‘Useless people with no ability but full of greed.’
Today, she received a response from the church headquarters regarding the ‘[Lenimid’s Mercy] Recovery case.’
For a response that took so long to receive, the content was truly impressive. In summary, it was as follows.
[Dear First Virgin Isabella Len Lopez.
We would like to express our gratitude to our school for personally leading our precious bodies and willingly taking on troublesome tasks that were not even requested.
However, support is not possible for various reasons, so you must do it yourself.
Of course, you should not use Claire. If the guardian knight, who is the face of the church, moves carelessly and gets caught for no reason, the image of the school will be tarnished. The Walderk family is the main supporter of the church.
Anyhow, if anything goes wrong, you will overwrite it. Okay?
You worked really hard to study at Ellinia Academy, the best educational institution on the continent.
I always look forward to spreading the reputation of our school to non-human species in the relevant institution.]
‘You bastards.’
Let alone forced access to the Balderk family, even the use of Claire was prohibited.
Well, just now, I asked you to bring Theo back and not reveal anything about [Renimid’s Mercy], So it’s probably okay.
‘Anyway, the atmosphere at our school is strange.’
Just a year ago, I would have welcomed the idea of sending him on a mission with open arms… But it was really strange.
I thought that most of the major powers of our school were within our control, but have new powers emerged in that short period of time?
Anyway, it was a good excuse to call out that mysterious guy.
“Hmm, when will it come?”
With that thought in mind, Isabella was about to tilt her chair back again ──
Knock knock knock-
──A knock was heard. There is only one person who will knock at this hour.
“Come in.”
─Yes, saint.
The door opened, and Claire and a mysterious guy with silver hair came in.
At the same time, Isabella frowned without realizing it.
‘······Crazy. It doesn’t read either.’
This is because [Mind Reading] Did not work for Theo. For Claire next to him, it worked normally.
‘I can’t help it. ‘I’ll have to try to trick it out.’
After gathering her thoughts, Isabella stood up from her seat and spoke.
“Claire. “Could you please leave for a moment?”
“······I understand, saint.”
Claire carefully closed the door and left the student council president’s office.

After Claire left, Isabella approached Theo.
“Hello, Theo. “I’m a senior, so I can talk to you comfortably, right?”
“Please do so, Isabella.”
Isabella was somewhat surprised by his attitude without any change in expression, but she did not show it outwardly.
“Yes. “Let’s sit here and talk.”
As Isabella sat down on the sofa provided in her student council room, Theo nodded and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
Isabella observed Theo with a weak expression.
‘What a mysterious guy…’
His behavior is extremely stiff, but he doesn’t seem nervous.
After becoming the first saint, human behavior in front of her was largely divided into two categories.
The first is the type that pretends to be relaxed on the outside, but on the inside they try not to be intimidated by swearing and swearing.
The second type is the type that is equally nervous on the outside and inside.
Theo did not belong to either of the two categories.
Even with his insight into humanity, which was forcibly fostered from a young age, he was not easily distinguished.
With that in mind, Isabella locked eyes with Theo across from her.
“I’m sorry for asking you to see me late at night. “You’re probably busy too, so let’s get straight to the point, shall we?”
“That’s right.”
“Three types of parts from [Renimid’s Mercy] That the Balderk family borrowed from our school for a long period of time. “I want it back, will you give it back to me?”
Isabella said, putting on her sorry expression.
That’s right, when I said this, I understood everything.
That’s how powerful the first saint of the Lenimid Church, the only religion of humans on the continent, was.
Even the emperor of the greatest empire on the continent treats a saint with courtesy.
When she spoke with an apologetic expression on her face, she listened to everything as long as it made some sense.
She was afraid that if she refused for no reason, the vengeful saint would cause harm to herself and her family.
Of course, she has never been rejected, and she has never done any harm.
But──
“I don’t think it will work.”
It wasn’t this guy.
Theo, who refused outright, had the same calm expression both for the first time and now.
