I was startled and stopped for a moment when I heard that someone was following me, but after thinking about it for a while, I couldn’t help but feel that something was strange.

‘I know that Mi-haeng are talented people. ‘Is that enough to fool Benedick?’

Could there be such a thing as trickery that could deceive the senses of a monster named Benedick? If those people are following you, I think you should just quietly allow them to follow you.

‘Then you knew and left it alone?’

‘why?’

That’s right.

Benedick’s love for his daughter seems a bit excessive.

I’m not the type of person to let something that threatens me go.

If it were possible, I would have torn apart those who were following me on the spot.

These are the people Benedick feels uncomfortable touching.

Who is it? There’s no way people would think that monster is a brute force nuisance, so it must be political.

‘Is this what I’m thinking about?’

When I heard my grandfather’s playful voice, I giggled without realizing it. Joey, who was next to me, heard my laughter and tilted his head as if he was puzzled.

“What’s funny?”

“There is only one thing in front of my eyes.”

“…Me?”

“Puhaha. I know. Idiot’s devastated face looked so pitiful that I smiled without knowing.”

“That. Is it that much?”

“The hair is as dull as a dry rag. The wrinkles around the eyes are sagging. The corners of my mouth are watering.”

“Inhale?! what. Something! There is no such thing as spit!”

“Seeing how embarrassed you were, I thought you might have spilled it? Puheap. Puhahaha!”

“Lucy. You shouldn’t tease your friends too much.”

Joy, whose face was heating up, hurriedly opened her mouth when she saw Benedick who had followed her late.

“Sir Aln. Do I look that tired right now?”

“…Hmm. To tell you the truth. yes. That’s right. I think it would be better to go to rest.”

“Ugh. I see.”

After listening to Benedick’s sincere advice, Joey quickly leaves in small steps. I went outside the building with Benedick.

As I followed my grandfather’s instructions and checked for traces, my eyes widened slightly.

The tailings of the fantasy world are no joke. Maybe it’s because it’s a world where unrealistic powers such as magic, magical power, and divinity exist, so it’s really hard to understand.

If I didn’t have an aesthetic sense, I wouldn’t have noticed even if my grandfather had told me.

‘There is one suitable guy.’

Why is grandpa so happy? Is it really that fun for me to provoke others?

I enjoy looking at the livestock that don’t know what to do because they’re angry at what the girl said.

Is it okay for my grandfather, a nobleman and paladin, to like this?

I was moving my feet, feeling sorry for the people who treated this old man like a demi-god, but as I was calmly walking down the street, I suddenly stopped and turned my head.

“What’s going on? Lucy?”

Benedick asked a question as if he was puzzled, but instead of answering, I walked towards the man sitting on the bench.

A man wearing a school uniform was reading a book when he belatedly sensed that he was unfamiliar and raised his head.

“…Lady Aln?”

His eyes, filled with confusion, were so natural that one could believe he was the lead of a theater company.

But there were limits there too. The power of the picky crow goddess found strange parts in this guy’s expression.

“What did I… do?”

“Are you acting innocent now?♡ I saw your eyes full of lust, like a monkey in heat?♡”

“…Yes?!”

Did you fall for my provocation? Perhaps he was frightened by Benedick’s harsh eyes. The guy pretending to be a student stuttered in genuine embarrassment.

“You’re still glancing at my legs♡ You’re looking at me like you want to lick me. Did you think I wouldn’t notice?♡”

“No! I. I have never looked at you with that intention!”

“Hey♡ The eyes looking back at me were too sinister for something like that, right?♡ If it wasn’t for stupid Papa, I might have been attacked, right?♡”

When I tapped my chin with my index finger and made a questioning voice, Benedick’s eyes became even more demon-like.

Even though I’m not a party to it, it sends a shiver down my spine. What do you think of this guy who is receiving this murderous intent? Wouldn’t it be difficult to even breathe?

“Not really! Sir Benedick Aln! How dare someone like me harbor such ugly feelings towards you!”

“Hmm♡ Really?♡”

There are two main reasons why I chose this guy as the target of provocation.

One is because this guy was the easiest to start an argument with.

The other reason is that this guy’s eyes were really following me.

What are you talking about? This world is full of pedo perverts.

As I giggle and lower one shoulder, the top draped over my shoulder falls down, revealing my white skin and deep collarbones.

The man, whose eyes were naturally drawn to follow him, belatedly tried to act calm, but could not even hide the physiological phenomenon.

“So what is this?♡ Huh?♡ Huh?♡ Do you want to answer? Disgusting pervert?♡”

“No. This is.”

“I’m just saying this just in case, but don’t tell me it’s that size to begin with♡ Even so, if a little guy tried to fill his self-esteem like that, I’d really die from laughter♡”

I took a step forward with a sneer, as if telling him to listen, and continued speaking while looking blatantly in the middle.

“Now that I think about it, I guess he’s a pervert, but he’s not a pedo♡ There’s no way a person this small can be an adult♡ Right?♡”

When I touch a nerve by pushing my face right in front of the chin, the man’s eyes roll back and the hidden energy seeps out of his body.

Feeling that energy, I understood why Benedick had noticed them but left them alone.

Why did my grandfather make me provoke others?

That’s because the energy that flowed from the man’s body was clearly divine.

“This is true.”

Benedick easily grabbed the hand that the man had stretched out to grab my collar, and smiled cruelly as he crushed the other person’s hand.

“You are in trouble.”

The man’s face, which had been consumed by anger, suddenly turned pale.

“I stayed calm because I knew he was from the church, but he repaid my consideration in this way.”

“Ah. Lord Aln. There is a misunderstanding here.”

“Misunderstand. Could you please explain what the misunderstanding is? I hope that the explanation is correct. Otherwise, I don’t think my anger will go away.”

The commotion that started with me quickly spread to the surroundings.

The ones that stand out already are Benedick and me.

In a situation where we are raising our voices, it is inevitable that other people will turn their attention.

Benedick’s anger. With my ridicule. In the curious eyes of others. The man, sweating profusely, opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, not knowing what to do.

You probably don’t know that the commotion will grow as time goes by.

“Sir Benedick Aln. Lady Lucy Alln.”

The person who spoke on his behalf was a man who appeared through curious eyes.

He came with a faint hint of divinity so that I and Benedick could notice, bowed his head politely and then continued.

“I will explain separately, so can you leave this place?”

“What should you believe and do?”

After hearing Benedick’s rebuttal, the man took out an unusually shaped cross from his arms.

…That’s the interrogator’s evidence.

no. no. for a moment. Are you saying you’re the church’s inquisitor given by the guys who were following me?

Why did these crazy people who punish heretics follow me!?

“I swear to the great man I serve that I had no intention of causing trouble to your daughter. How can we do something to a close friend of the saint?”

“…Okay. I hope that explanation will soothe our hearts.”

“I will answer sincerely.”

The church’s inquisitor took us to a private room at the Academy.

The person who had stayed in the private room, as if he had ordered someone else to take his place, lowered his head as soon as he saw the interrogator and quickly left the room.

Then, the man who had set up a barrier so that the outside could not overhear the conversation took a seat across from me and Benedick.

“Hello again. My name is Nian, the inquisitor of the main church.”

“How did the Inquisitor, who is busy dealing with the enemies of the Church, come here?”

“Because a miracle unfolded at Soul Academy not long ago.”

“…Miracle?”

“The miracle I am talking about is not something abstract. It is a phenomenon that can only be said to have occurred according to the will of the Great One.”

Benedick expressed doubt at what may sound abstract, but I did not. As a party to the miracle that brought this person in, I had no choice but to know what the interrogator’s words meant.

“Mmm. yes. I know there was such a thing as a miracle. But what does that have to do with my daughter? If something like that happened, visiting the saint would be a priority.”

“In essence, yes, but.”

The interrogator’s eyes tightened as he agreed to Benedick’s question.

“Not this time.”

His eyes, flashing with madness, pass Benedick and reach me.

“Because the saint is not a party to miracles.”

…

uh.

Did you get caught?
