"I don't know where to start..."
"Wouldn't it be nice from the beginning?
"If you talk badly, you don't know why, do you?
"Hmm...... So let's start from the beginning."
How Teresa was advised by Lucia and Beatrice, who were acting with herself, and decided to start talking at the beginning —— i.e., three days before she came to this town.
Her words like that, three days ago, Lucia took Teresa and Beatrice from the royal castle, signs of Inari sushi (?) was from when it was flying in the direction it did.
"Three days ago, Miss Lucia took me away from here and my concubines stepped down at a liquor store."
I heard Teresa say something like that--
"Why are you in a liquor store again..."
--They all seem to recall that they are far from alcohol. She didn't immediately see why the three of them had decided to go to the liquor store.
"Actually, in that liquor store, do you make” vinegar ”on a trial basis?
"Uh, I mean, Lucia reacted to the smell of sushi, right?
"Yeah! If you think there might be sushi in this country, you won't be able to stay or stand..."
"I see..."
"So? The vinegar I made in that tavern... it wasn't vinegar."
"There was talk of wood vinegar liquid... pesticides after all?
"Hmm. The owner of the liquor store... Randy said she wanted to use vinegar to repel insects because she wanted to deal with the insects that spread to this town? Probably told a traveler or someone who visited the land that vinegar would wipe out insects."
"Hmm. But then I'm going to make sushi vinegar... which has nothing to do with wood vinegar liquid, right?
"Originally, of. So... Lord Randy used the wrong yeast to make vinegar, and he ruined all the liquor that was in the liquor store. As a concubine, I wanted to leave the place..."
"Really, Teresa, isn't it awful? I can't believe you're abandoning your sushi ingredients..."
"Yeah, I am. You're so good..."
"... and there were about two people who blamed the concubine. So, I taught Lord Randy how to make a quick wood vinegar solution. At that time, I thought if I let it go, this liquor store would crumble soon."
"Hmm. But with that mouthful, do you feel like you realize it doesn't crumble, unlike you expected?
"Mm-hmm. Actually, Lord Randy... he was the sister of Lord Messier."
"... can I say what I thought?
"What?
"Lucia...... you, actually, weren't you caught in sushi? To Messier......"
"Oh, I don't think so, do you? There should be no bad people in the world who love sushi..."
"Well, good..."
And, while I felt a problem with my sister's thinking, Waltz didn't point it out. She gave up so much about Lucia, who loves Inari sushi so much...
"So, that's what you found out, and what did people say about Messier and his Randy?
"No, this is it? It was just a coincidence."
"Is that true?
"Hmm. I bowled it with Lord Messier when I got home, but I saw him, the concubines, and it hardened... Well, there's no denying the possibility that the ceilings and walls at home were filled with holes?
"Why do you have a hole in the house to make wood vinegar liquid..."
"There was a lot going on. Well, it's a kind of accident.... Hmm? Miss Lucia."
"Ugh, yeah...... Because the bugs..."
Just Lucia's words like that--
"That's the thing..."
—— Waltz seems to have guessed the circumstances. In other words —— Lucia, who had put a bug in front of her, had carried out a series of magic and left the house full of holes. It didn't seem hard to imagine for her to see about the bugs that were attacking Vega's roses at the Royal Castle.
"I joined Julia just around the time... when the wood vinegar solution was finished. To be more specific, Miss Lucia puts a hole in the house--"
"............" gogogogogogogo
No, it's nothing.
That's what I said, Teresa turning away from Lucia. At that time, there was something like a visible black aura coming out of Lucia because of the minds of those on the spot...
You notice how Lucia is like that, and Julia mouths the supplementary words.
"It's not Lucia's fault that the bugs I've caught escaped, because it's also my carelessness, is it?
"I'm sorry, Sister Julia...... Really, Teresa, you don't listen to accommodation, do you?
"... So, at? There's something about Lord Randy that bothered me a little."
"What?"
"Actually? Lord Randy had a benefactor, and she wanted to make vinegar pesticides for him. So, Lord Randy is Lord Messier's sister?
"I mean, a guy named Randy... was trying to keep bugs away from Vega roses, craving vinegar, you mean?
"Well, guess what? But isn't that an impossible guess?
"Right. But... is that it? Wait a minute, okay?
"Mm-hmm? What's wrong?
"You feel like you're forgetting something... I've forgotten a lot lately..."
"Nah, there's nothing wrong with that. I can't even remember my concubine for breakfast this morning. Probably waltz forgetfulness isn't a big deal."
"In your case, I think it's a little bad..."
Waltz smiles bitterly at Teresa for saying so.
Such a loss of their minds will later lead to a major problem...... It may be that Waltz, Teresa, and those around them didn't realize that.
Anyway, there are so many words in the world that you don't regret it...
