The Book I Wrote Became the Bible

22 – The Heart of the Unbeliever

… Huh?

What is it?

Is that him?

Sky blue hair.

This is a characteristic of the Pulse Rayno family.

His name is Luke Persleyno.

Considering that he is a prince of the Pulse Rayno family, I think he is right.

… I didn’t know it would look like that

…… My sister didn’t talk about her appearance.

Was the reason you fell in love with her appearance actually?

It was very different from the feeling I had pictured in my head for over 10 years.

I didn’t even know you were younger than me in the first place.

Originally, there are many swindlers who have good looks.

This is because they are better at fooling people with their looks.

Looking at the information guild data examined in the hideout, looking at the examples of fraudsters of the rare era, there were many cases with a rather likable appearance.

Contrary to conventional wisdom.

But no matter how true it is, I would never have thought that such an unprofessional would have been ‘the guy’….

“Welcome, Master.”

I tried to calm myself down and acted like an ordinary maid.

“Hello. Are you the maid who will take care of me from now on?”

“Yes, Master. My name is Cheryl, the maid who will serve Master Luke from now on.”

Cheryl is the original name of the identity I borrowed.

Now it’s the name of a maiden who went down to her hometown to receive the tribute I gave.

“Okay Cheryl. Good luck in the future. My name is Luke Persleyno. Can I ask for this luggage for now?”

This man…… Luke Persleyno is right.

“Yes, I understand. I will organize your luggage. Would you like to take a bath to relieve travel poisoning? I’ll get you some warm water.”

“A bath? Hmm…… Okay. I need to take a bath. Get me some water.”

She spoke the maid’s line prepared in advance as if she had practiced it.

There was no sign of suspicion in Luke either.

Yes. After all, it wasn’t God!

Wouldn’t the divine beings, or at least the transcendental ones who have transcended the realm of humans, immediately notice that I have a different meaning?

If so, this man didn’t show any signs of that at all.

It’s hard to see him as a god who came down to this world in a human body.

Acting as an ordinary maid, she finished preparing for the bath.

Then, Luke entered the bathroom and started taking a bath.

…… Over there he is bathing naked.

My… Ideal man.

Oh no, the man who cheated on his sister.

Let’s go inside and check it out.

I don’t want to see that swindler naked!

If it’s a god, there may be other traces left on the body.

Yes. I’m just going in to check.

I never enter for my own desires.

And don’t maids usually do things like take a bath?

Yes, yes. You have to go in to avoid being suspicious.

If I don’t go in, I might get suspicious, so I go in.

Knock Knock

“Master. This is Cheryl.”

“Yeah, Cheryl, why?”

“I will help you take a bath.”

Excitement

My heart started beating like it would explode.

Is it because there is a man I’ve been waiting for for over 10 years?

I’ve never been so nervous when sneaking into an academy.

As I waited nervously, he answered from inside the bathroom.

“It’s okay, Cheryl. I’ll make sure to take the bath myself, so you don’t have to help.”

…… What?

Are you okay?

… Oh, no.

I have to check your nakedness.

Yes, to see if you are a cheater or not!

Uh, what should I do?

If I go in like this, I’ll just become a strange maid, right?

Think… Let’s think.

Should I just step back now and promise later? Since you’re working as his maid, isn’t it something you might get a chance to do someday?

Click

While I was thinking, I opened the door without knowing and went inside.

“… Cheryl? Didn’t I tell you not to come in?”

Wow!

What should I do!

I came in without knowing!

My desire!

It’s ruined!

Uh, what should I do?

“Forgive me for the rudeness, master.”

I immediately knelt down and bowed my head.

So that I don’t see the embarrassed expression on my face.

I tried to hide my face as much as possible… Do you want to hear this?

Fortunately, there was no sign of embarrassment in my voice.

My voice, which I trained to deceive my sister, who is usually smart, shines here.

No, how should I deal with it….

A maid who goes against her master’s words and opens the door! That’s so strange!

I don’t want to get kicked out of his maid position!

I want to be by his side… No, because we need to find evidence that he is an impostor!

…… Oh yeah.

“…… My lord and my savior.”

Let’s pretend to be her sister’s subordinate sent by her sister.

Yes! Then it will be.

“…… What do you mean Cheryl?”

His friendly face instantly hardened into a cold face.

Did I do something wrong? Since this guy is a trickster who makes you think he’s a god, shouldn’t he like it when you say he’s a believer?

Ah. Did you think I was an assassin?

Yes, it could be.

Then I have to show that I am kind to you.

“Ah, sorry, my savior. I was too hasty to tell you without explaining properly. Sorry.”

“…… Yes Cheryl. Can you explain?”

“Yes. My name is Christos Calandra 1st Branch, Ionia. I was ordered by the Scala headmaster to infiltrate the academy in order to serve the Lord.”

My sister’s real name, Lydia, is a name only I know. Maybe this guy knows her sister’s name is Scala…. Is not it. I wonder if her sister let me know. After all, in order to pretend to be her sister’s henchman, it’s correct to call her sister Scala.

Okay. It was perfect. There is nothing to be suspicious of.

“Scala. Yes, Scala ordered it.”

“Yes, it is.”

I’ve never had the experience of cheating and infiltrating someone like this, but I learned about my sister’s work over her shoulder.

A kid like you can be tricked!

“Cheryl.”

“Yes, Lord.”

“I hate lies. Tell me your true identity.”

Caught?

How do you know?

Was there anything I could be suspicious of?

“…… You. Aren’t you a nice guy? Was there anything suspicious about what I just said?”

“No. There was none. If it wasn’t for me, no one would have even suspected it.”

“Then where did you get your doubts from?”

“Since you brought up the story of Lydia.”

“Lydia sister? Why is that…… Oh?”

I showed him that I knew Lydia’s name without my knowledge.

No, before that, you brought up Lydia’s name. This guy only knows her sister’s real name, but she thinks she knows my identity?

“Yes. It was like that too. Come on.”

Nonsense.

How did you know my identity?

“… How did know. That I am Io.”

“Um…… Lydia told me.”

“No. It can’t be. I came here secretly without even telling her sister.”

I can never do that. My sister has no idea that I’m here.

I’ve been busy for the past few days and haven’t come home. Maybe you haven’t read my letter yet.

“Then Lydia would be worried.”

“That’s fine. Because she left her letter to her sister. …… Maybe your sister won’t mind either.”

Nerves…… Won’t you use it?

You’ll be very angry if you see that.

I didn’t think of that when I committed it.

…… Are you okay?

“Yes. Why did you come to see me without telling Lydia?”

“Answer my question first. Then I will tell you.”

“… Good. It wasn’t until you introduced yourself as Lydia’s maid that I realized your true identity.”

In the part where I introduced myself as an Ionian belonging to the Kalandra branch?

Was there anything odd about that?

I thought it was the perfect response?

“…… Why is that a clue?”

What was the problem? Was the name Ionia strange? It was the name of my favorite fairy tale character, but…. Certainly, it might be strange for an undercover agent’s name.

“Because Lydia is not that kind of person. And those who would listen to Lydia’s orders would know that such an excuse would not work for me. Above all, there is no way Lydia will reveal my true identity to her men. If there are exceptions…… You have Io.”

…… Is it.

Obviously, my sister told me very little about Luke.

So, it was only recently that she found out that the object of her sister’s faith was Young master from the Pulse Rayno family.

This guy.

You trust her sister when you treat her so badly?

“… Is it. I thought it was the best excuse, but did it rather become a clue to reveal my identity?”

“It’s my turn this time. Why did she infiltrate the academy and meet me while doing that?”

The reason he infiltrated the academy….

Yes.

The reason I infiltrated is because of you.
