The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

30 – There are no empty seats (3)

It has nothing to do with us.

In the beginning, it was just one meeting.

I didn’t know who he was, and I didn’t even know his name.

In the beginning, the face was also blurred from memory.

I couldn’t remember one of those thugs I’d never see again.

But unbeknownst to us, he was murdered.

And strange rumors were spreading.

“A lot of bad things were said. Did you have a fight at the inn this morning alone? Twice.”

Erina beat a rogue at the inn until she was about to die.

Even Kyla smashed her room in a fight.

Starting with me, Erina and Kyla.

All of them had an accident at an inn.

Looking back, no party had such an accident.

It is strange that there are no strange rumors.

Still, I was embarrassed.

It happened because the opponent first quarreled.

The same goes for Erina.

Of course, it was wrong to fight with colleagues, but he protested that it was not an act without a reason.

“They were armed. If we had stayed still, we would have been hurt.”

The investigator listened to me seriously.

I was trying to judge the situation as fair as possible.

When the story was over, he said, scratching his head.

“It’s been a while since you came to the capital. You’re from a foreign country, so you don’t seem to know very well, but you’d better be careful.”

Already the investigator had quite a bit of information about us.

The time from when you arrived in the capital to the time you stayed at the inn.

I knew until the time I left the request.

Of course I did not stand still.

He tried to prove his innocence somehow.

“We don’t know anything about it. I now know that the murder has taken place.”

“I know. I’m not suspicious. I’m just asking a question.”

It was a lie to anyone looking at it.

He already thought of us as suspects.

The eyes were sharp unlike the warm impression.

The bloody eyes turned towards us.

“The murder took place from yesterday evening to dawn. Can you tell me what you did at that time?”

Last evening, I stopped by the request office and the magic tool shop for a while, and the two stayed at the inn.

After that, Erina was away for a while, and Kyla and I stayed at the inn.

‘Wait…’

And me and Kyla went out for a walk at dawn.

In an empty place, Kyla and I made an oath.

But I couldn’t say it straight up.

When it turns out that Kyla is Yongin, she will not end up being an investigator.

If you make a mistake, you could turn the entire kingdom into an enemy.

I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a walk at night.

But at my words, the investigator’s expression hardened at once.

“Hmm.”

It’s a suspicious act even if you say it yourself.

A murder happened while the two of them went for a walk at night.

It is a situation that anyone can doubt.

It was too contrived to be a coincidence.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere around him subsided.

The inside of the inn was quiet and people were spying on us.

After pondering for a while, the investigator turned to another place.

Kyla and Erina were hiding behind me.

“Why aren’t the other two talking?”

Unlike before, the tone has changed a bit.

At the same time, Erina stepped forward to the investigator.

She looked at the investigator’s face with an indifferent expression.

She frowned as if annoyed.

A cold impression never shown in front of me.

Maybe Erina was always showing this to other people.

“What’s going on?”

The investigator hardened her face with a sharp tone with a cold attitude.

Unlike me, Erina was not at all cooperative.

“It’s just that I have a question. What did you do while you were out last night?”

“I took a bath for a while. That’s all.”

The investigator kept his mouth shut at the blunt attitude.

It’s not a lie, but it’s a misunderstanding.

She nodded her head, thinking it would be difficult for him to talk any more.

Now only Kyla remains. She cautiously stepped behind my back and she stood in front of the investigator.

Her figure, covering her face with a robe, was suspicious.

“Is there any reason to wear a robe indoors?”

Kyla didn’t answer.

She swung up the robe instead, showing her face.

Her horns on her head were barely visible.

“I’m very shy, so please understand.”

I helped, but my suspicions did not fall.

The investigator, who looked closely at her face, sighed.

Fortunately, she did not forcefully lift the robe. The fact that he was Yongin was not discovered, but his name was not lifted.

“Where have you been at night?”

“I went to a place where there was a big tree on the west street…”

“What did you do there?”

“Well, that’s…”

An answer did not come easily.

I couldn’t help you now.

Please, I desperately hoped for an easy answer from her mouth.

In a moment of tension, Kyla barely opened her mouth.

She answered shyly, avoiding her gaze.

“The two of us went on a date…”

The surroundings froze at her words.

It wasn’t wrong.

But it was an answer enough to cause misunderstanding.

The investigator was also somewhat embarrassed by her words, so he coughed continuously.

“Hey, that’s right. Was there any reason to go out at night?”

In response to the next question, Kyla deepened her robe with her face.

And whispered in a small voice.

“Ah, I want to be alone in a place where there is no one else…”

It was an embarrassing answer that made me feel ashamed of what I was hearing.

My head fell without realizing it.

What did the two of you do in the middle of the night?

Even if I didn’t have to say it, everyone was thinking the same thing.

The same goes for the people around you.

I heard the sound of grinding teeth from behind, but I decided to ignore it.

The investigator bit her lip and nodded her head.

I was holding back my laughter.

“I’m sorry. I think I asked the wrong question.”

Fortunately, a smile returned to the investigator’s face.

From noble mtl dot com

It was close to laughter, but the atmosphere softened nonetheless.

After the question was over, Kyla went straight to hiding behind me.

And the investigator came to me.

“I’m sorry. The atmosphere has gotten heavy.”

He patted me on the back with an apple.

It was strong enough to make my back tingle.

With a kind smile, a smirk was revealed.

“There was nothing special about it.”

“I know. I’ve tried them all before.”

Then he whispered in a small voice.

“By the way, no one comes to the back of the warehouse on the south street, so keep that in mind.”

The investigator who left useless words smiled broadly.

My vigilance has softened, but I don’t know if I should call this fortunate.

Fortunately, the investigator dispelled the suspicion.

Instead, he gave us several pieces of advice.

“I’m still a beginner, so I don’t know, but reputation is important. Rumors spread faster than you think.”

“Oh, yes.”

“This time it was unavoidable, but fights are easy, so it’s better to avoid them. Unless you want to use a useless frame like now.”

The investigator tapped me on the shoulder with words that I did not know whether it was a warning or advice.

So the investigator left the inn.

After he left, it was only natural that the inn was engulfed in silence.

People’s eyes were focused on us.

A sense of vigilance and curiosity, and a sticky energy at the same time. There was an atmosphere full of discomfort.

I couldn’t stand the embarrassing atmosphere.

There was no reason to be here in the yard where the secrets were exposed to others.

I hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two and pushed them into the room.

Meanwhile, the girl who guarded her counter had her face blushed.

She endured her shame and approached the clerk.

“Can you prepare dinner in an hour? For three servings of roasted wild boar.”

“Yes, Neet…!”

As soon as the answer came, I hurried up the stairs and entered the room.

Is this what it feels like to hide through a mouse hole?

I wasn’t the only one who felt embarrassed.

With a blushed face, Kyla was clutching her face.

Her Erina was looking at her like that with her disgusting eyes.

If it hadn’t been for my words, there would have been a fight.

There was no mess. There has never been a day like this since I came to this world.

“First, unpack the luggage. I have something to tell you, so let’s get together for a moment.”

The two of them moved quickly at my words.

Erina took off her armor and arranged her weapons neatly.

Kyla took off her robe and locked the door.

I wanted to take a little break, but I have one last thing to do.

She sat down at the table and clasped her chin.

I thought it was complicated in many ways.

Looking at the flames of the candles waving on the table, I was lost in thought.

After tidying up to some extent, the two sat down at the table.

We sat down at a small table and looked at each other.

“Everyone worked hard.”

I stopped the rush first.

It was a difficult day not only for me but also for both of us.

I didn’t express it, but everyone must have been tired.

Right now, even me, I was getting sleepy and holding back my yawn.

It will be the same for both of you.

However, there was a point that had to be overlooked.

“Too many things happened today.”

I didn’t say it was because of anyone.

Even if she didn’t, Erina’s body trembled.

Even Kyle didn’t like her expression very well.

Watching Erina’s eyes, her nerves stood still.

“Erina.”

“Yes…”

I didn’t have to say anything. Erina confessed to herself.

“That’s what I did…”

A murder case in the capital.

Two days ago, the bully we had an argument with died.

As soon as I heard the truth from the investigator, I noticed it. The culprit is Erina.

Otherwise, the timing could not have been so good.

Fortunately, Erina was so good at her lies that she didn’t get caught.

But it was a very dangerous moment.

“They were making fun of you! Seeing you curse at you with a disgusting face, I couldn’t stay still…!”

If I didn’t even say a word, I would have endured it.

But when he made excuses that didn’t work, a fire broke out.

Why the hell did you do this?

However, the spilled water could not be picked up.

“Listen. Never hurt anyone again.”

“Yes…”

I didn’t say anything else because I already scolded him out loud this morning.

She asked her mouth to see if she knew her fault.

You must never commit murder in the capital.

I’m glad I didn’t find out.

If I did it wrong, I would be branded as a criminal and almost become a fugitive.

But she could not be relieved.

Even at this moment, the investigator was running around for the case.

“Listen to everyone.”

The situation is the worst. A little while ago, according to what the investigator told us, we became famous in a bad way.

And Kyla joined, and her activities were limited.

I almost got caught by an investigator just now.

“The situation is not good for staying in the capital.”

The notoriety spread among the people.

I didn’t have a good reputation at the request center either.

It came into the eyes of an investigator due to a murder case.

“Erina and I are fine, but Kyla is different.”

If the fact that it was Yongin was discovered, it could have been really dangerous.

Knowing that, Kyle also shook her head.

There was no place for us in the capital.

In the end, I decided to come up with the next best solution that I had only thought of.

“Let’s go on an expedition. We need some time for the rumors to calm down.”

Expedition request. So far I’ve only been planning.

But in the current situation, it could be the next best solution.

The two quietly nodded.

He followed my words without saying anything.

“Let’s take the quest tomorrow and leave. We’ll be leaving at least in the afternoon, so prepare ahead of time.”

Kyla, who had been listening to her all this time, quietly raised her hand and asked me a question.

“Can you tell me where I’m going?”

Coming to think of it, he didn’t tell me that.

There was already an expedition quest that I had decided in my mind.

“Nostalgic Snow Mountain.”

Kyla’s body flinched and trembled at my words.
