65. the only thing i can give
Having lived only in the forest, I could never understand that an unmarried man and woman slept in the same room, from my conservative point of view like an elf.
Even when she was a Sherpa in the Pandemonium Forest, she made an additional guest room for guests who needed lodging.
“The room on the 1st floor is like this, it’s a bit more spacious than the 2nd floor.”
She sneaks around the room and slowly puts the pillow she was sitting on on the bed.
“……Whoa.”
Taking a deep breath, I peeked behind me, and Rin smiled strangely and slipped away the blanket.
“now.”
“Don’t strain your voice.”
When I deliberately challenged Rin, who speaks in a sticky voice, I giggle and lie down on the bed first.
‘It must be because it’s really scary, right?’
Although, just in case, I accepted Rin, who told the robbers that I couldn’t control myself properly because I mixed the power of the crest in my chest and used magic.
Looking at her now, it doesn’t look like she lied because she just wanted to sleep with her.
“Are you not going to sleep?”
It was complicated in my head as I watched Rin gently sweeping the place where I lay down, but in the end I turned off the light and lay down.
Turn around to face Rin in the opposite direction, and say good night.
I thought it was okay because I didn’t say anything, but he gently caressed my back with his hand.
“Stop it.”
“You know, Daniel.”
I tried to answer what’s there, but Lynn was faster.
“Have you seen me go wild with this power in the future?”
“……”
I turn around slowly to check on her.
It was a dark room with the curtains closed so that even the moonlight did not enter, but her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, so her face was clearly visible.
trembling in fear.
A poor village girl with unwanted powers.
“Am I losing my ego and killing people or manipulating like I did to the robbers today?”
“……”
She kept her mouth shut because she couldn’t answer.
“There is a line drawn inside me. If you cross that line, it feels like there is no turning back.”
“No need to, I will protect you.”
As I slowly put my gaze on the ceiling and spoke, Rin smiled bashfully and gently grabbed my hand.
“Actually, everything else is fine, but what if.”
Her voice, giving her strength, was trembling and at the same time faintly wet.
“If you think I will hurt you or make you sick, just kill me.”
“……”
“Understand?”
Unknowingly, the girl’s voice whispered softly into the hand that was holding her. It may hurt, but Rin seemed to like it, and said that she would never let go, and put both hands on my hand.
“Because there is no such thing.”
“I know, you will protect me. Still, I don’t know If so.”
“There is no such thing as You will shake off that disgusting force, get over it, and live without any problems. Think about what you’re going to do after graduation.”
“Hey, what are you going to do when you graduate like that?”
“Since you have a talent for magic, try to pursue a career in that direction. The dean seems to be coveting you.”
“Um, is that so? But rather than dealing with magic academically, I want to help ordinary people, albeit in a small way.”
“okay?”
Come to think of it, I was a little interested in Rin’s future because I didn’t know anything other than being the owner of the army.
“I want to become a doctor who uses magic. Grandpa Benchen in my village is also getting old, so he’ll have a hard time examining patients now, so I’m taking his place.”
A doctor who uses magic.
This was a very capable doctor, but in fact, there were very few doctors like him.
Because there was a better way than a doctor in front of a wizard who could use healing magic.
Of course, there were no such unique people at all.
“Not bad.”
To me, she’s a little crazy, but to other people, she’s still a nice and kind girl.
I was the first love of the boys in the village, so if I become a doctor, I think male customers will come constantly.
“I was thinking when Daniel was bitten by a wild dog. At that time, like me and Ares, the dog scratched me, so I just got hurt.”
“It did.”
“I wanted to be a person who would get rid of my precious people around me when they got sick.”
“I see.”
“Yeah, Daniel. I will definitely overcome this power and become a doctor.”
Rin yawns slowly, as if she is sleepy. When I stayed still without saying a word, she slowly fell asleep but did not let go of my hand.
“Yes, I can.”
*
“wake up.”
“Ugh.”
“Get up.”
“……!”
I open my eyes and open my eyes at the small hand that shakes me here and there. In front of me is a white-haired girl, Sen.
She was waking me up without any change in her expression, but I was startled and tried to get up right away, but the feeling of weight next to me stopped me once.
“What is he?”
Rin is sleeping with her face close to me and hugging me tightly.
I don’t know if it’s a sleeping habit, but I slowly take it off and look at Sen.
I tried to ask not to misunderstand, but she pointed out the door with an expression that really didn’t matter.
“A guest has arrived.”
“Guest?”
“Come out quickly.”
Looking at Sen’s back, who frowned at the fact that he hadn’t seen him until the end, put on a coat and go outside.
“mister……”
Michelle is eating the bread Hayoon gives her at the counter.
“Michelle?”
“I brought him because he was hiding in an alley crying alone after he went out on patrol at dawn.”
“Hidden in an alley?”
When I approached Michelle, wondering what was going on, the girl said to me, looking as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
“Oh, some people in armor just came to my house this morning, drew knives and threatened! He told me to go outside and play for a while, but my dad is yelling at them and scolding them…”
“People in armor?”
There were people who could guess, so I asked, calming Michelle down.
“Have you ever had a woman? Wearing glasses, blue hair, and a badge with a falcon and hammer overlapping on his chest?”
Then, Michelle nodded randomly as if she had come to a fortune teller.
“right! right! Is your uncle crazy?”
I mumbled bitterly as I slowly stood up to Michelle, who had a great expression on her face.
“Hey, Rosales. Even she, the inspector, noticed something was wrong with Michael.”

Just then, Rin came out of my room.
Sen and Michelle didn’t react much, but Ha-yun looked at me and Rin alternately in surprise, then came next to me and stabbed me in the side.
“You’ve been kicked once, so you change women right away? Eris-san will be sad!”
“It’s not like that.”
“No, what is it?”
I tried to convince Ha-yoon, who was looking at me almost like human garbage, but failed.
Ha-yoon began to regret the fact that she had helped me while snorting Eris, but I went back to my room and immediately changed into street clothes.
“I’ll go over there.”
I thought that Heiney would still be at the Fortren Manor, seeing as Michelle hadn’t been out long enough, but my guess was correct.
Heini comes out of the Fortren Mansion just in the middle of the day.
She looks at me, pouting her lips and crossing her arms.
“As expected, did you know something?”
‘People were originally competent, but I don’t know if they did it to finish the case quickly or became competent because their lives were in danger.’
Heiney, who immediately noticed the reason I came here, didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding the situation from me, knowing that the fighting dogs and I were hostile.
“It’s 100%. Michael Forten is a fighting dog. I went through the main gate because I was beaten by the captain of the guards, and a list of people and things that were not in the official records appeared.”
“……”
“But that number is strange. It says that there is only one coachman, but it is written like “person 50” next to it. No matter how large a carriage may be, it cannot accommodate so many people in one.”
“……”
“And from what I see, you seem to be holding a piece of the puzzle that I don’t have.”
Heine, who raises her glasses, approaches me as if under pressure.
The number on the list is probably the number of corpses seen in the hotel.
“Yes, I know. But what if I tell you?”
“yes? Won’t I receive a commendation…? I’ll personally give you some gratuity…”
Heini answers in a vague way, probably out of the blue. But it wasn’t about me that I wanted.
“Michael Fortren. I wonder what will happen to him.”
“Of course, we should catch it right away and hand it over to trial. I’m clearing my name But judging from the current atmosphere, I don’t think I can go over it easily.”
“what do you mean.”
When asked again with anxiety, Heini looked at the mansion and sighed.
“Even if we bring the evidence and make an arrest on the spot, I think there will be strong resistance. Even if I ask for help, it won’t come soon.”
“……”
If you did not comply with the arrest on the spot, there was nothing to say even if you were executed on the spot.
In the end, if that happens, Michel Fortren will be left alone again.
“I have all the evidence and physical evidence you want.”
I proposed to Heini with a serious expression on her face.
“I will hand over all of this, so give me a chance to finish this case. By tomorrow at the most, I will arrest Michael Fortren and bring him back.”
I cannot save him with my own power.
He had already committed too many sins, and much blood was soaking the buildings and grounds he owned.
All I can give you is a little time.
The unbearably huge tragedy that was planned for the little girl has now become irreversibly huge.
I wanted to give the girl a little time to say goodbye to her beloved father.
