【090】
The piercing scream that tore through the air did not come from my lips.
“L-Luarel! Oh my, the burns are sev—?”
Hans, who had rushed over, froze mid-step.
Nestled securely in Mikard’s embrace, I couldn’t see what had transpired, but one thing was certain.
‘Podong headbutted the pot!’
The moment the pot tilted precariously, a fist-sized white bird shot forth from my arms with blinding speed.
Then, with tremendous force, it flipped the pot over entirely.
[The Air Spirit King, Shapasi, laughs heartily.]
[Did I not tell you? That I would protect you once. Now this creature has returned to Eden with all its strength.]
No, I didn’t even get to say goodbye!
But that wasn’t what mattered now.
‘Just now—my skin changed!’
Wriggling free from Mikard’s embrace, I managed to crane my neck and witnessed it.
The skin that had flushed red from the sugar syrup suddenly receded, transforming into something entirely different.
“You clearly suffered burns, yet…?”
Hans stammered in bewilderment. The monster Luarel responded sharply.
“It didn’t splash. It nearly did.”
“Ah, I see…?”
“Right. It didn’t splash.”
The monster Luarel insisted again. Mikard chuckled at the sight.
“Well, it’s fortunate no one was hurt.”
“Y-yes…”
“That’s right, Hans. No one was hurt.”
Mikard, dangling me at his side, approached Hans and patted his shoulder.
“Still, it wouldn’t hurt for Luarel to see the physician, just in case.”
“I’m a little scared… would you come with me, brother?”
Just before leaving the kitchen, Luarel wheedled in that manner.
But Mikard, his smile unwavering, shook his head.
“I need to get to training now. If you were hurt, that would be different, but since you’re not, you can manage alone.”
“Okay…”
“Supertido, you go back with Lina.”
But was she really unharmed?
No. She was hurt.
“Did you see it too, Lina?”
I grasped Lina’s hand and gazed up at her intently. But Lina only muttered indignantly, her expression a mixture of anger and helplessness.
“That was deliberate! Deliberate! The pots placed on tables for use don’t have thick bottoms. It could have been easily knocked over, and it was done on purpose! I saw everything from right beside you!”
Lina’s face cycled between crimson and ashen.
Then, stopping in her tracks, Lina knelt and embraced me.
“If that had spilled on our young lady’s head… if Master Mikard hadn’t been there, truly… I would deserve death. No matter whose orders, I should have stayed by your side until the very end!”
“It’s not Lina’s fault, don’t worry.”
“No, I was truly at fault… From now on, I won’t step even an inch away from Miss’s side. I swear it on my life.”
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ says that a loyal Maid shall be rewarded for her devotion.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ says that the sound of a conch horn announcing war echoes across the land.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ sheds tears of relief.]
[Thank goodness you weren’t hurt, my child…]
I’m really fine, though.
Podong and Mikard both protected me.
Besides, Mikard saw exactly what just happened. Even Hans thinks something’s off.
As I nuzzled my cheek against Lina’s embrace, my eyes suddenly gleamed with determination.
“Lina, I can’t go to my room like this. Let’s go see Grandfather.”
“The Household Master? That’s an excellent idea. Even if it costs me my life, I must tell him about what just happened!”
“No, I’ll be the one to tell him.”
We have witnesses now!
And evidence too.
With this much, shouldn’t we be able to defeat the monster?
With my resolve set, I turned my steps toward the floor where the Household Master’s Office was located.
While I’m at it, I should give him a taste of these red ginseng-flavored gem candies!
* * *
‘What do I do? What do I do? I just got caught. I’m certain I was seen!’
Luarel, who had been driven out of the Kitchen with a pouch of candies clutched to her chest, gnawed at her fingernails frantically.
A doctor, of all things!
There’s no need to see one.
Because the moment I suffered the burn, my body automatically responded and created new skin!
‘Damn it, this won’t do. This won’t work. If things continue like this…’
Mikard.
She had clearly seen his expression change.
She had been caught in the moment her skin transformed.
‘I deliberately chose a time when Mikard wouldn’t be in the Mansion to avoid ruining the plan, so why did he appear?’
No, no, no, no!
That’s not what matters right now.
‘I have to feed it to her. There’s no other way.’
The candies in her possession contained poison.
She had succeeded this far; now all that remained was to feed them to the Household Master.
After that, since she had done as Belarion commanded, she had no choice but to beg for her life.
‘Where is the Household Master’s Office? Where is it?’
They were supposed to meet tomorrow, but there was no time.
Before Mikard could reach the Household Master first!
“Miss, what brings you here?”
“Tell Grandfather that Luarel has come. Tell him I wish to give him a gift.”
“The Household Master is not someone to be seen carelessly, but… I understand for now.”
The servant standing before the Office door knocked and entered.
In that moment, Luarel took a deep breath, struggling to calm her mind.
‘I can’t appear suspicious.’
I haven’t been discovered yet.
I haven’t been discovered yet.
Repeating this to herself, Luarel squeezed her eyes shut and counted silently.
“He says he was just having tea, so you may enter.”
“Phew…”
After exhaling a long breath, Luarel composed her expression.
Bright and cheerful.
In any case, her current appearance was that of a nine-year-old, so as long as she didn’t act strangely out of guilt, she wouldn’t be suspected.
“Grandfather!”
“Come here, child.”
For now, there were only the two of them in the Office.
Usually, Household Masters always had someone at their side, so I wasn’t sure why no one was here… but this was fortunate.
“What has my granddaughter brought me?”
“Candy! I made it with Superti. And Mikard too. Oh, and there was a maid named Lina as well.”
In case I was expelled from Belarion, I would need to remain in Fasayen.
For that, I needed to create other suspects besides her.
Even in this moment, Luarel calculated rapidly. Simultaneously, she felt pity for herself, knowing this was the only way to survive.
How pitiable a creature I am!
There are those who enjoy power simply by being born!
“Please try one.”
“Candy… it’s been ages since I’ve eaten such a thing.”
But what if he doesn’t eat it?
The enormous old man, with his back to the sunlight, was already sufficiently threatening by his sheer physique alone.
The subtle aura radiating from him made it worse.
‘If only I could devour an awakened one as well…’
But she was far too weak for that.
Before an awakened one, she was nothing but prey.
‘I’ve never tried, but I already know instinctively. I cannot devour an awakened one. I must not.’
Why?
For a moment, a great question echoed within Luarel.
‘Who’ said such a thing?
‘Who was it…’
There was someone who had smiled at her when she was newly born, but she couldn’t quite remember.
Yet even now, look—her body trembles of its own accord.
She cannot even meet his gaze.
“Why, you’re not eating?”
“I wanted to give them to Grandfather first. I have plenty of candies anyway!”
“You eat one too. I can’t be the only one enjoying them.”
Damn old fool!
Just eat what’s given without all the fuss!
Luarel laughed while averting her gaze slightly. And the moment Galiazard finally popped the candy into his mouth—
‘Perfect!’
Luarel’s eyes gleamed with exhilaration.
‘Now I just need to escape. He said I’d die within 48 hours, so all I have to do is find a way to contact Belarion during that time…!’
But that was when it happened.
“Gack, cough…!”
