11-8: Fiend Drug 2
"I'm going back to the mansion because some urgent business came up…"
"Leriril, I'm sorry but please clean up the workshop…"
"Yes, I understand the same Secilia…!"
Huh…?
I wonder why Leriril looks so strange…
Far from calling me a boy, he even used “sama” instead…
I waved at Leriril who was looking at me with sparkling eyes and came back by teleport…
Come to think of it, I felt like he had calmed down after I finished making artificial leather…
All right, putting aside the trivial, I should go at Totona's emergency…
I want to return immediately by teleporting, but let's check the situation first…
First, let's confirm the mansion with a map…
About 10 soldiers and both high-level knights had come to the mansion…
They're all Viceroy's subordinates…
It's disconcerting…
What do they want…?
After checking the basement of the mansion with [Clairvoyant], I returned there with Teleport…
I ignored the knock on the basement door, took out a pen, ink, and some sheets of paper from the storage and placed them on the workbench…
In addition, I took the candle and the candlestick, turned it on and placed it on the workbench…
Lastly, I put the seal ring there and the preparations are done…
Please let them not see it if possible…
I unlocked the bolt, opened the door and shouted at the person knocking on the door…
"You're noisy…"
"I cannot concentrate…!"
"I, I'm sorry…"
"Chevalier is equally suspected of using fiend drugs…"
"Please come to Viceroy's office…"
"I used fiend drug…?"
We came to the ground talking…
Apparently, they doubted us for using fiend drugs because our level was so high because it was too young…
Sillier…
The risk is too great compared to the effect…
If we just want to level up, I can level up to level 500 in just 10 days without even using such a medicine…
"Masters…"
"It's okay, it's true…"
"I have business with the Marchioness, so take this as an opportunity…"
However, who instigated this, I wonder…?
The marquis should have thought that I was the source of income, while Baronet Dyukeli had a debt of gratitude regarding the matter regarding his daughter…
The possible plot is from the Marquis' followers who do not want their position taken…
It is possible that I will change all these stories and justify some things that may not be desirable if it is very troublesome…
When I asked Ms. Miteruna to keep an eye on the mansion, she gave me some advice…
"Master, I've heard rumors about Baron Vilas' inquisitor that he misused his Fathom skill to master the weaknesses of the merchants and servants…"
"Please be careful…"
I see, so he will change the subject once he starts asking about things unrelated to fiend drug, I should object when that happens…
I wouldn't be caught off guard if I just prepared myself…
Let's create Negotiation and Tact skills to work on them…
While thanking Ms. Miteruna for her advice, I looked at the basement with Clairvoyant magic…
Then using [Magic Hand], I opened the ink bottle on the workbench and wrote a memo using a chicken feather pen with instructions for Bu Miteruna…
I prepared another letter asking to be rescued and stamp the wax seal with my seal…
I collect seals and candles into storage…
I'm not giving it directly at this time to prevent the mastermind from anticipating it…
The handwriting is a bit messy, but it should be fairly easy to read…
"Yes, Miteruna…"
"I forgot to close the ink bottle…"
"Can you close it before the ink dries…?"
"Sure, master…"
I headed for the carriage that the Viceroy office had prepared, I explained the situation to Tiane and the others in the labyrinth and ordered them to stay there for a while…
I took Totona to the Viceroy's office, a large three-storey marble building right next to the east gate…
"Miss Secilia, the inquisitor will be here any minute, please wait a moment in this room…"
Youth like high class bureaucrats, have led us to a very beautiful room for country guests…
I recorded various interiors such as furniture with magic [Photo] because I rarely came to such a place…
"Totona, loosen your shoulders and sit here…"
"Quite comfortable, you know…"
I let Totona who was standing behind me come to sit on the sofa next to me…
I asked the maid who was standing in the corner of the room for two sets of tea…
I whispered to Totona softly that there was nothing to worry about in a soft voice while hugging her head…
Maid san should not suspect anything as Totona's face turned red…
I think maid san didn't have enough training because she looked like she was about to spit out sugar…
The inquisitor finally arrived when Totona was calm…
Moreover, he even brought six armed knights, probably to intimidate us…
They are skilled people of level 20-30…
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Secilia…"
"I'm Baron Vilas the inquisitor…"
"Ah, you can stay seated like that…"
"The investigation will be over soon…"
The inquisitor was a bald man with thin eyebrows who possessed magic like Raka with the skill [Fathom]…
It's a skill that can tell if someone is telling the truth or a lie if I'm not mistaken…
Come to think of it, this is the first time I've met this Baron…
I met all the Nobles who held the title of Nobles in the labyrinth city if I only met the next Vice Viceroy…
"Then, answer my question with『Ya』or『Not』…"
"There is no need to add an exaggerated explanation…"
The inquisitor warned with a posed look on his face that would likely have a light SFX if he wore glasses…
"Inquisitor Vilas asked…"
"Are you using fiend drug…?"
"No…"
"Inquisitor Vilas asked…"
"No…"
"Inquisitor Vilas asked…"
"Are you instructing others to administer fiend drug…?"
"No…"
Lengthy…
He may ask one question at a time to prevent fraud…
"Inquisitor Vilas asked…"
"Do you know the recipe for making fiend drug…?"
A dangerous question finally came up, but I didn't need to answer it…
"Sir Villas…!"
"What do you think you've done…?"
"Miss Secilia has saved my son and the daughter of a state guest from Lost Thieves…"
"So in short, he is the benefactor of the city of Selbira…"
"He wouldn't have brought his supposedly subordinate Lost Thieves to the surface alive if he had anything to do with fiend drugs…"
The one who entered the room with a long protest was the Marchioness…
Even the Marquis himself was behind him…
A fox in tiger clothes, version 2…
This time the connection or rather the bribery power of the previous investment has produced its fruits…
"My wife's right…"
"Who ordered you to arrest Miss Secilia…?"
So the person who ordered him to arrest me was really not Viceroy…
"I-it's because the story about the difference between Miss Secilia's strength and her followers and their age is the talk of the salon..."
"In other words, you have bought some baseless nonsense in the salon and made it that is one of your Nobles, undergo an embarrassing inquisition…?"
"Viceroy equals, i-it's a misunderstanding…"
Apparently, I have been considered as unsightly to participate in the Marchioness tea party…
There were indeed some narrow-minded people who were angry only from a newcomer participating in the tea party only once…
Maybe I'll exterminate them or maybe not, who knows…
I took advantage when the Marquis denounced Baron Vilas and asked him, he confessed while sweating a lot that his goal was to gauge my weakness by first asking about the fiend drug…
Looks like Vice viceroy has instigated it…
The reason why he admitted it unnaturally was probably due to the Interrogation and Coercion skill…
Maybe I better normally change both skills OFF…
The Marquis will handle both the Baron and Vice Viceroy the instigator…
Since the Marchioness looked satisfied at the back, handing her over should be fine…
I thought that they would only be given a harsh warning, but since this meant that they would not freely disturb us again from now on, this was already good enough…
I told Tiane that the problem had been solved and they did not have to worry anymore…
The reason why the Marchioness comfortably broke through at this moment was thanks to Bu Miteruna acting according to the memo I left in the basement…
After I was taken by the carriage, he went to the Marquis mansion to send out a letter with my seal mark as instructed…
Normally, the letter from the Lower Nobles would be delayed and left unceremoniously, but apparently as a result of the cake I gave back then, the maid gave the letter to the maidservant and the maid gave it to the Marchioness, so he could quickly read the letter…
I'll present them with a variety of sweets later…
Since Ms. Miteruna came by train, I took Totona and let them go home…
I'm going home with them, but I can't refuse the Marchioness' invitation to dinner…
It has been a dinner where we say our thanks and apologies on each side…
The princess forced me so much to tell her stories about the labyrinth during dinner, I answered her while being careful not to disturb the other servants…
It would be bad if I carelessly told him some exaggerated stories and made him and my fat son go to the labyrinth again…
None of the dinner menu, called full course, used ingredients made from monsters at all, perhaps it was the fixation of the Marquis house chef…
If I had to say, there aren't enough vegetables…
Every dish is delicious, but the beef soup is amazing…
I'll re-create this flavor for everyone later…
I thank the coachman of the Marquis house for driving me to the mansion and entering the mansion…
Miteruna ma'am who came to see me gave some kind of basket to the coachman…
Because I smelled something sweet, it was probably the candy Totona made…
I searched the map while relaxing on the sofa…
It seems like Sir Sokel has been arrested, he is currently being locked up in one of the Viceroy's office rooms…
Surprisingly enough, Besso still escaped…
One of Besso's male friends had been captured by the Explorers Guild, he was in the dungeon of the western Guild…
I was surrounded by everyone when I finished checking and closed the map…
"It looks like it's terrible…"
"Yes, tonight's gonna be even worse…"
"Hoe... “I won't let you sleep tonight”, sort of…?"
"Yes, yes, you are sweet…"
I off-handedly swept over Lina and Tiane who were fooling around…
"Since Lost Thieves is more troublesome than I thought, I thought about taking it seriously…"
"And also, there seems to be baggage carriers and slaves who were kidnapped by the Lost Thieves and made to work, so I also want to save and protect them…"
"I'll help…?"
"I'll work hard…!"
"Mrs…"
I stroked Ciel's head looking up from where he was sitting on my lap…
Ciel peeked in from both sides, but I couldn't let them help me this time…
However, I felt a little lonely that not retaliating even though I said something so absurd…
"I'm sorry but please stay home this time…"
"Mia, can you make Artificial Being like Aialiaze san…?"
"Mrs…"
"Is there anything suitable for surveillance…?"
"The Wing Ball"
No, wait, I'm not saying that you should use it now…
Mia called out something that looked like a ball with wings…
Can it do surveillance even without eyes…?
Mia said it was fine as she puffed her flat chest…
"Then, please keep an eye on the Viceroy mansion and the western Guild with the Wing Ball Mia…"
"Call me if there's any interference…"
"Mrs…"
"Neck…"
All right, let's get some work done for the sake of a safe labyrinth life…
