Volume 2 Chapter 17 (1/2)
The Hero’s Spectre Runs into Several Unexpected Situations
It happened in the afternoon two days prior to Minnalis ranking us up
That day, I entered Yuh the backdoor used by its staff
「Whew Doing this kind of work sure is tiring」
「I know, right?」
「Stop coet overheard, and I for one a punished with extra work」
「「Fiiine」」
Threeand co out the trash as they chatted away
（Well, in I go）
I slipped in through the open back door after casually glancing at theto see that they were still focused on doing their work My current body was one that could easily phase through walls The only reason I bothered going through a dooras because this host created by the【Heart Flay Hence, it could pass right through the physical, but was highly susceptible to other ies Yuoing through theh an open dooras the better of the two options by far
Invading through the back door would, under nor off one of Yumis’ custom made spells The spell would not only notify her that someone had intruded and inforhly defensive golee the intruder in order to buy time
Of course, those conditions only applied under normal circumstances
My prior experiences had allowed me to learn exactly how the spell in question functioned In other words, I also knew that it had no effect onof an extremely careful construction
I was completely invisible and in a spiritual form The only way for me to be detected was foreither an innate skill like Scarlet Eyes or a skill of the highest calibur like the Mind’s Eye
There was no way that she didn’t have the skill she needed to spotshe would only be able to obtain after training with me
（You know, I think this is actually eous, well decorated hallway Being a spirit, I couldn’t actually feel anything at all, but even so, I was able to tell that the carpet was soft It just looked so gaudy I couldn’t iine it to feel any other way
（Hmm… Where should I snoop around first…?）
The reason I had visited Yuure out exactly what I needed to do to oal was She was coic iteh to allow her to have her name carved into a specific Elmian stone monument I clearly recalled how insane she had looked back when she tried to capture me; she had appeared obsessive and tunnel visioned It was like she had corasp on reality
I knew that she’d always sought to fulfill that one goal, even froure out why she obsessed over it that much It had clearly been more than just a childhood dream Her eyes had conveyed tothat would instantly bring her so out her drive would allow reatest weakness There was even the added benefit of potentially discovering her other lesser weaknesses as well
It would’ve been easy for us to just choose to physically torh
I wanted uess I’ll try looking for so the lines of a study）
Yumis’ secrets were likely hidden away in her study, and her desires in her diary if she happened to keep one Looking through both had a good chance of providing me with the information I needed
This world’s coher status owned therooher floors, so I i was extremely vast, and exactly what one would expect of a personal hter
「Huh? What… was that just now…?」
One of the maids span around as I passed her by, an action that caused me to stop in place and stiffen up
She, a woeneral vicinity with a confused look on her face
（Tsk! Did she notice me!?）

Her stats page didn’t see me Her innate skill, intuition, ination」
Sori, thethe area for a bit before finally deciding to continue on her way down to the building’s first floor
（Oh shi+t!）
「Welcome home, Yumis」
「Hey Sori」
However, I wasn’t allowed a chance to relax, as Yu insect I wanted to crush, had suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stairwell
「Weren’t you scheduled to spend the rest of the day at thepapers aside, I’ve finished all the day’s work I can just do that here, so I’ve decided to visit so I could catch a breath of fresh air I’ the documents I need to staht it would be a good idea for the two of us to take a bit of ti the usual to ht away」
「Fufufu I’ll see you upstairs then」
（Huh, this actually looks like a pretty good chance to learn a bit more about her personal life）
I felt like I was letting uard down a bit too much, but I couldn’t turn away the chance that I’d just been presented with Seeing Yumis talk to the maid reminded me of her identity She was both Yu care of her sister Yumis trusted her so much that she had entrusted her duties as the feudal lord to her upon vacating her post
The maid clearly knew a lot, and was probably aware of Yumis’ circumstances From that, I realized that this was a chance for rumbled, and in essense, suffered
The corners of my lips twisted upwards as I chased after the pair

The initial reason I followed theht of an interesting scene or two I hadn’t been prepared to do anythingas I heard her talk about her worries
