271 – What I’ve Done (3)
After a while.
Theo, who had closed his eyes and was checking for external movement, opened her eyes.
He said to Irene and Eisha.
“It looks like no one is there.”
Irene opened her mouth in admiration.
“Oh… Did you feel the external movement without seeing it?”
“Yes. “It’s one of the effects of new things.”
To be exact, he found it out by using his own energy, but Theo responded like that.
I couldn’t tell anyone about Ki because Nei had declared it to be a one-man story.
Theo held the [Invisible Clock] That was on the bed in his hand.
“Then let’s leave. “Everyone, come inside your cloak.”
Theo wrapped himself in a cape.
Sararak.
Theo’s upper body immediately became transparent upon touching the cloak.
“Wow, that’s an amazing artifact. “It seems a bit scary when I look at it…”
Irene muttered as she looked at Theo, who was left with only the lower half of her body intact.
Theo, wearing a cloak, said.
“The size of the cloak is relatively small. “Please come in here.”
“Yes.”
Irene immediately came close to Theo’s right side. It was a distance that reached even a small breath that would normally go unnoticed.
“······.”
Theo flinched. This is because she suddenly remembered the incident in which she had been brutally beaten by Irene at a cafe a few hours ago.
Anyway, she said it as if Irene was amazing.
“Wow, you really can’t see it? I think there are endless ways to use this. “With just this, I think I’ll be better than most assassins.”
“······You can only hide your appearance, but you cannot hide your presence, such as the sound of footsteps. “It’s a temporary measure.”
“Hmm, I see. Anyway, something is exciting. “I feel like I became the thief in a game of catching a thief!”
Irene was so excited that she spun around in her seat, cackling like a elementary school girl who had been gifted a transformation magic princess set. Every time I turned, Irene and Theo’s skin brushed against each other.
Theo spoke in a stern voice.
“······Aisha, you too, join us.”
With her soulful eyes and her mouth open, Isha hurriedly answered as she stared at her.
“Ah, yes. Yes is it so! “G-go now!”
Eisha awkwardly clung to Theo’s left side.
Because she didn’t wear it as closely as Irene, one of her shoulders was still unclear.
“······?”
Theo grabbed Eisha by her delicate shoulders and pulled her closer to him.
“Kyaa, kyaa?!”
Surprised by her sudden physical contact, Isha screamed without realizing it.
Theo frowned at her.
“Be quiet in case someone hears you.”
We can see each other inside the cloak.
But Eisha could not look at Theo’s face, and lowered her head and muttered.
“Hey, hey! Ah, I understand…”
“Let’s start with rehearsal. “Be very careful not to raise your voice just in case.”
Theo bent his knees low and assumed his duck-step stance.
Irene immediately followed Theo, and Aisha hesitantly followed Theo.
The three naturally became closer than when they were standing.
Irene nodded her head.
“Aha. It goes like this because of the cloak area. “I haven’t been able to practice at all since Monday because of someone else, but it went well.”
Theo said hesitantly.
“······I would like to once again offer my sincerest apology for that. Anyway, let’s try to get into rhythm with each other. “Move your left foot first.”

Theo, Irene, and Aisha finished rehearsing for about 10 minutes.
The three immediately started walking towards Gajusil.
However, Balderk Castle is quite large.
It took about 5 minutes to get from the room to the room by walking normally, but it takes several times longer by walking. Moreover, it consumes a lot of stamina.

“······.”
With their shoulders pressed together, the three people took a series of duck steps, breathing lowly through their noses.
Sweat ran down my cheeks and chin, but my breathing became easier as time went by.
Eung, Geum. Ugh, gold. Ugh, gold.
The three people duck-walked in the same rhythm. There was no separate decalcomania.
Two, Geun. Two, Geun. Two, Geun.
The three people were also breathing similarly.
“······.”
Of course Theo, who was in the middle, knew that fact.
‘······It’s not easy.’
The pain in my thighs was bearable, but there was one major problem.
My concentration began to break due to the scent of the two women constantly coming from left and right.
In particular, Isha must have been spraying Theo’s preferred perfume, and she kept leaning her body towards Isha.
That’s right.
Although Theo was a taciturn person on the outside dominated by [A twisted nobleman’s dignity], On the inside he was a full-blooded 16-year-old boy.
‘The East Sea and Mt. Baekdu… Dry and wear away…’
To escape his troubles, Theo sang the national anthem to himself.
Ney said, not understanding Theo’s current situation at all.
─Oh my~ Duck walk training at night. Even with colleagues! It’s quite a romantic sight.
─Please be quiet, Nei. It’s hard for me.
─What did you mean by that? This amount of training is less than half of what I normally do. Is it because it’s the first day of vacation? It’s a matter of the mind, not the body.
Ney was half right. Because it’s true that it’s a matter of the mind, not the body.
Suddenly, Theo had this thought.
‘······No, no. ‘Is this also a problem with the body?’
If he had been an old man without the strength to lift a spoon, he would have been calm even in the current situation…
Anyhow, talking to Ney helped me breathe a bit. I became less conscious of the two women than before.
While Theo was continuing to play tiki-taka with Ney, the three arrived in front of the house.
Theo looked alternately at Irene and Eisha’s faces and nodded his head.
‘There’s no one around. Just in case, block the sound first.’
Theo cast the [Sound Proof] Spell through a magic cartridge.
After that, he quickly got up and put his hand on the lock on the front door.
Kugugugu──
A door that only responded to Balderk’s direct descendants was opened. However, thanks to the magic cast in advance, there was no sound leaking out.
“Hurry.”
Theo grabbed the wrists of the two women and immediately entered the house and closed the door.

The inside of Gaju Room was the same scene as seen in this work. Books and ancient documents were also placed in the same location, and numerous paintings and vases were also located in the same location.
This is because the head of the family, Robert, was so organized that people seriously suspected, ‘Isn’t he mentally ill?’
Of course, this only applied to Theo, not Irene and Aisha.
They were looking here and there with curious eyes, as if they were amazed at the grand atmosphere of the Balderk family home, which they had never seen before.
Eisha muttered while looking at the large plaque hanging on the wall.
“Wow… The achievements of past Balderk family heads are all written down. Oh… As expected, the founder is amazing. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Ryuk and subdues fallen dragons and demons. Oh? I think that’s a new item from the Balderk family. “I’ve only seen it in books, but this is my first time seeing it in real life.”
Irene was amazed at the numerous books in her study.
“······As expected, the Balderk family has used the sword for generations, just like the Aslan family. There are so many books on swordsmanship. Oh… I know that book was out of print about 200 years ago, but it’s in pretty good storage condition.”
Anyway, Theo searched the surroundings.
This is to find where Robert’s notes are kept.
‘With this composition… It would be in the fourth cabinet on the left.’
Perhaps thanks to Robert’s organizing wall, Theo was able to easily identify where the notes were kept.
Theo tried to open the cabinet. However, the cabinet, which did not even have a common lock, did not seem to open at all.
‘It doesn’t seem to have any magical or mechanical devices.’
Over the past period, while helping Sonya with her research, I naturally developed an eye for mechanical devices.
When Theo was thinking for a moment, Ney spoke.
─Oh, this is a very welcome item. You can see this here. The storage condition is also very good.
─What are you saying, Nei?
─Child, the cabinet you are trying to open is something that existed before I was trapped in the sword. It’s a high-end item made by a famous dwarven craftsman, so of course it won’t open just by applying force.
─What should I do?
─Try holding the handle with your energy raised. Then it will be opened.
─I understand.
Theo pulled up his flag, wrapped it around his hand, and grabbed the handle of the cabinet.
Kkiik.
Like a lie, a cabinet that had never been opened before was opened.
Just as Theo guessed, the cabinet was full of notes written by Robert over several decades.
─Thank you, Nei.
─Heungheung······ This is a piece of cake for me.
It is currently the year 504 of the imperial calendar.
Judging from Irene’s remarks and Theo’s appearance in her dream, Theo made a big deal around 503 or early 504 of the Imperial Calendar.
The notes were categorized in an orderly manner for easy visibility, so it was not difficult to find them.
Theo began to read his notes.
“······.”
His unrestrained eyes stopped at one paragraph.
『······
My son took advantage of the method of sealing the devil in the family and tried to make a contract with the devil.
