Chapter 11 – Mystery Game in the Bathtub

Episode 11 Mystery game in the bathtub

“Um, Camus.
First of all, I didn’t know that all three of the people you decided to use mind control magic on were task force members.
However, I knew the ‘Knight of the Moon’ because his face was revealed when he induced and disturbed the Suwigun of the Demon Castle.
The other two were guessing.
It is impossible to attack the demon king without a saint-class healer of the sun, and the long-distance movement of the star princess is essential for infiltration.”

And it’s rare to find people with such outstanding individual capabilities.
If you were to estimate the mysterious members of the special task force, it would have been the first thing that came to your mind.

“So when I told you about those three people you would cast mind control magic on.
I thought you designated the target with some certainty.
But now that I hear you say it, did you target them regardless of whether or not they were members of the special task force?
Why is that?”

“It’s really embarrassing, but…
I chose the most representative of the three organizations that represent the human kingdom and the possibility of success in mind control magic rather than whether or not they are on special lease.
For political use.”

“Hmm, that’s right.
It can be.
Don’t blame yourself for not thinking of revenge first.
After all, didn’t you draw a reasonable conclusion on your own?
You endured it because you had a big picture to defeat the hero and destroy Amitie.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

Rumika is sweet.
She’s usually a picky guy, but at times like this, she’s friendly.
No, he is especially friendly to me.

“Didn’t you finally find the answer without knowing the background of them being a special task force member?
So don’t tremble and listen.
It’s not something to be anxious about.
Rather, it is a very good thing.”

The sound of his heartbeat echoes in my arms.

“Anyway, the second question is this?
Why did they keep it a secret and not publicize the exploits of hurting my dad?”

“Yeah, right.”

“I had a similar question as I crossed the battlefield and borders from the Devil Castle and came all the way here.
So, even while hiding my identity, I inquired about it.
‘I heard that the knight of the moon was the one who infiltrated the castle with the hero, did you know?’

“You are really bold…
What if I get caught…”

“This is a woman’s sixth sense, but I thought it was important for some reason.
Hearing you say it makes me more confident.
This is an important issue.
Aren’t all three of them female?
As members of the special task force, including the hero, there were three people who were praised by the human king and bestowed with government posts.
Aside from being a hero, aren’t archmages and rangers higher than saints, noble knights, and princesses?
So, something is fishy.
There’s no way I’d be rejected because I’m a woman.”

“I heard and saw it.
It’s not like there’s a law in the human kingdom that excludes women from the succession order.
There is male priority in succession, but it is not male monopolization.
Why?”

“Because it is.
There is nothing wrong with being a woman in the Special Forces.
Rather, it would be beneficial to keep the members’ achievements confidential in all affiliated organizations?
It’s a contradiction.
Perhaps, I have a feeling that finding the reason for this contradiction is finding a way to win the human kingdom.”

Smack smack.

“Rumika, you are truly extraordinary.
When did you grow up like this?”

“Hey, are you really avenging me for touching your hair earlier?”

“No.
But when I tried it, it felt really good.
Because your hair is full.”

Play around and think hard.

Inferring it, I think it’s because all three of them are under invisible checks inside the organization.

By the time Marianne was interviewing for her bid, the old interviewer was anxious to drop me.
Because she has to take kickbacks and embezzle.
Marianne knew that and she brought in another reformist interviewer like herself.
The reason why the bid selection meeting took so long after the interview was probably to convince the old interviewer.

The old interviewer cannot be the only one who has a conflict with Marianne.
Priests and nuns, who form the older generation and vested interests, are most likely to stand on the opposite side of Marianne.

Didn’t Liv come to her day right away because she was raped by her high priest, who should have protected her even if she was only a nun?
Marianne, who has always been by her side, knows, or at least most likely noticed, what Liv has done to her nun.

That’s probably why she’s looking for people outside the Church of the Sun God who want to join her in reforming like me.

Those within the Church who sympathize with Marianne are likely to be relatively few compared to those who oppose her.
There are those who implicitly sympathize with her Marianne, but few who explicitly voice her and follow her.
As we saw in the bidding process, vested interests are bound to fiercely resist issues that endanger their rice bowls.

Then what about the moon knight and the star princess?
Maybe they are also in conflict with vested interests within the organization?
Isn’t that why they made me hide the achievements of the special lease for attacking the Devil’s Castle?

“Rumika, would you like to listen to my reasoning?
Therefore…”

Let’s pass on my thoughts to Rumika,
Rumika was deep in her thoughts.
Then she turns around and leans her back against mine.
She tilts her head and looks up at me.
Doesn’t her neck hurt?

“It makes sense.
If the achievements are known, there is no way to prevent the power of the party participating in the special lease from growing.
No matter how vested powers turn them into puppets and use them, yes.
But I don’t think that reason alone is enough to explain the exclusion of only three women from the feat.
I’m sure there is at least one organization that will reveal its secrets because it thinks it has more to gain, doesn’t it?”

Yes.
They’re not even connected by nerve cords.
What are the odds that three politically and socially powerful, prestigious, and well-to-do organizations will act equally?

“Camus.
Cathedral of the Sun God, Confederation of Nobles, Royal Palace.
The reason why these three places move in perfect order
Look at one of the two
Either there is a powerful entity or organization that can exert influence over all three organizations.
Or the interests of all three organizations are exquisitely aligned.”

Rumika explains as she opens two of her fingers, then folds them in one by one.

“Agree.
Then, how can I dig up the secrets of the three women, who are my targets?”

“Hmm… Well.
First of all, because I asked you when you went to the refugee camp with Marianne?”

Rumika tilted her head.
Her face, which looks slightly larger from her shrunken shoulders, tilts.
It looks like the doll is tilting its head.
Unknowingly, I want to kiss you.

“I have taught you before.
What if I can’t think of a solution right away?”

“‘Think the other side’.
Ah! I see!
Other than those three girls
You can investigate those whose exploits were revealed first!
As much as the hidden exploits, there must be a reason for the revealed exploits.
Like the hero Alberic.
Maybe they intercepted the ball from them, or there might be a reason for driving the ball in the process of shooting!”

“Right, that’s it.
If you teach one, you know ten?”

“Lol…
What is this, embarrassing.”

Rumika was shy and proud, putting her palms on her cheeks and twisting her body.
… Because don’t twist
If you keep rubbing it…
My penis reacts…

“Rumika, you’ve grown up really well.
As your teacher once, I am truly thrilled.”

“What, really, didn’t I grow up well because of you?
If you want to use the teacher-teacher play that you learned from that lady, let me know.”

“Master is not an aunt!
In terms of humans, they look like they are in their late 20s?!”

“If she’s close to 300, she’s not that Auntie, what is?!
Unlucky! Away!”

Ugh.
I fight with my ex because of my ex who broke up with me about 100 years ago.
It’s ugly.

“Hey, don’t go out.
Sorry.
I’ll apologize, so sit down.”

Rumika jumped up and tried to get out of her bathtub, and I grabbed her silence followed and pulled her up.

With a splash!

“Ufufu!”

You splashed a lot of water on your face!

“Camu!
You’re sick, so just pull on me and don’t do that.
It’s been a while since you woke up!
Don’t make me a nagging bad girl, take care of yourself.
I’m not angry
I just sat there because I was afraid you would get hurt, so I know that.”

“Okay.
I won’t bother.
They get excited when you carelessly talk about Master.”

“What?!”

Splash splash.

Rumika turned around on top of my legs and sat down directly facing me.
And with both of her hands, she strangles my neck.

“Are you siding with your ex in front of me?”

A little bit of strength comes into the hand.
Why is he like this for real?!
You are my ex-girlfriend too!!

“No, because you disparage every woman by saying that you are playing a game between a teacher and a teacher… That’s right…”

Rumika’s eyebrows go up.
Oops, I think I made a mistake again.

“If you just talk about her again, she’s too busy siding with her!
Do you remember who broke up our marriage?
Who is the woman who has been nursing you for two whole nights?
Your body is broken and your mind is broken, who is it that soothes you now!
You don’t even notice?!
Do we need to talk about another woman here?”

“Rumika, that’s not it…”

“Okay, I hate to hear it!
You go and live with her!!”

It seems like I’m screwed, right?

Ruined.
It’s dangerous to talk about other women to the woman in front of you,
(I didn’t take it out, the other person took it out first, but pointing out that is pouring oil on the fire)

Angry at her for imitating another woman, and even defended her,
(It’s an undeniable fact that if Master is a human, he looks like he’s 30 years old, but just bringing that up out of his mouth would make him seem sympathetic)

I told you that the reason you defended the other woman was because ‘the woman on her lap disparaged the other woman’…
(Here, it gets even worse when the woman sitting on my lap insults the noble being who is her teacher by calling her teacher ‘Ajumma’ and disparages her teacher-teacher relationship.
It sounds like it’s your fault that I’m angry.
The problem is that I’ve said it all now)

But who am I?
The genius hypnotist Kamu.
Real genius is not magic, but how to move people’s hearts with your tongue.

“Rumica.
I am angry because your relationship with me is special.”

“… What is that all of a sudden?”

“Didn’t you tell me earlier?
It’s called ‘a play between priests and priests’.
I still vividly remember the time I spent with you as a tutor nearly a hundred years ago.”

In fact, when Rumika entered her bathtub, it brought back memories of the two of them going to the beach together.
My words are so true.
Just say it a little sweeter.

“…”

“When you got into the bathtub, I was thinking about the two of us going to the beach.
Do you remember that time too?
In the past, if you went to a place where you could not reach your feet, you would call me and hug me.”

“… Don’t try to talk about it.”

Our memories are so precious.
I am always reminded of it!

“I really cherish the days of teaching you.
But since you talked about those memories as ‘play’, I got a little excited.”

I’m not a teacher, I’m just angry because you disparaged my relationship with you!

Chambang.

I grab Rumika’s arm and pull her gently.
Rumika lifted her hips slightly without resisting and slid towards them.
She is right in front of my body.

“I’m saying that Nene and you are playing priests, not our relationship… Suck!”

She lifted her head and gently hugged Rumika, who was making excuses.

When persuading a woman, you need emotion, atmosphere, and skinship, not logic!

“Teacher-teacher relationships are noble.
Especially you and me… More special.
Don’t ever say ‘play’ again.
Do you think it’s a joke that I’m next to you?
Are you just lightly by my side?”

“No, that…
No, nothing.
I don’t know.
Don’t ask.”

Rumika places her hand gently on my waist and rests her forehead on my chest.
I buried her face in her fragrant hair.
The scent of roses tickled her nose.

… Come to think of it, this bath salt.
It was a hypnotic elixir dedicated to Rumika, right?
It had been in the bathtub for a while, and it must have permeated every nook and cranny of the body by now.
It wasn’t just because of my verbal skills that I persuaded him.

The atmosphere is strange…
