Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Poisoned cake. I didn't know because I was mistaken for the smell of alcohol, but if I looked carefully, there was a dangerous smell.

However, it smells like something you wouldn't normally notice.

Did you notice?

Yes, I saw that I was more nervous about waitresses than poison.

More than the cake itself, Sylvia was wary of "something" from the suspicious appearance of the waitress.

Suspicious as it may be, the waitress is professional.I was trying not to imitate it, but to be calm.It was calm on the surface, but Sylvia saw the effort to be calm.

"Oh, you... what are you doing!?"

The store manager is in a hurry.

It can be said that it was fatal when poisoned food was behaved in a restaurant.

Um...

The waitress chewed the bitter bug to pieces.

"Sorry! I don't think it's a problem to apologize, but please forgive me."

"I don't mind forgiving."

Melissa was poisoned.

I won't say anything because the person says "forgive".

"But why did you imitate poison?"

If the poison is an attack, Melissa is being targeted.

I was not alert to the fact that the four of them were having a nice meal.I don't think poison can be found in stores where my friends already eat.

I've never met a waitress girl.I don't remember whether the store was recently hired for something that I have used several times.

I don't feel hated.

As for Melissa, I don't know what to worry about.

……

But the waitress who was asked wouldn't answer.

Instead, state what Melissa has discovered.

"You're using a lot of ingenious poison.It doesn't have the power to kill people, but it's a poison that's hard to notice until the symptoms appear. "

Melissa is also familiar with poison because she can formulate.

"Normally, you can't get it."

Poison that cannot be obtained without an alchemist who can formulate the poison.

You can't have a waitress that only looks like a normal girl.

"--Who asked you?"

"......!"

I saw clearly that the waitress took a breath.

Rather than thinking that the waitress herself resented Melissa and poisoned her, it's natural to think that someone asked her to poison her.

……

"I don't want to. No, you can't."

"Yes"

The waitress responds with fineness.

He asked me to kill him, so I can't say anything about him.

"There must be something going on."

Are you sure?

"Interrogating girls is not a hobby."

"Agreed. I was pathetic just looking at what I just saw."

Isla looks sorry for the waitress.

"Hey."

Melissa inadvertently put a poisonous cake in her mouth while she was looking at Isla.

"Customer!?"

"What are you doing!?"

The manager and waitress panicked as they watched Melissa eat a poisoned cake.

I know it is poisoned, but I can't think about eating it normally.

"Rest assured"

However, Melissa, who was supposed to have eaten poisoned cake, was cheerful.

... or I'm a little worried that nearly half of the cake is gone.

"We're strong.You can't even paralyze your body with poison like this. "

Weak poisons can be perfectly disabled due to their high status.

In addition, if there is a problem after eating, Melissa can eliminate the poison with Purify , so many poisons do not work.

"Killing doesn't seem to be the end in the first place."

My client also knows that poison doesn't work.

It seems that there is only a purpose to make people recognize that they are being targeted.

"I wonder if it would be too much trouble to be with us."

I want you to get back to Alistair.

Is that what this is all about?

The waitress wasn't really taught what to do.

"Um... what happens to me?"

Melissa is not going to make this a problem.

It wasn't about her being targeted, it was about her being chosen because she joined later and was not alert.

"Now, what happens?"

Point your gaze only at the customers around you.

I heard a voice chatting with the other person in the room, and it seemed to be talking about the poison.

I can't undo the fact that it has already happened.

"What did you do!?I'm sorry, but the guards are coming out! "

"Oh no...! If I can't work anymore, my sick mother..."

"Let's hear more about the situation."

Sylvia asked on behalf of Melissa when she heard the word "sick mother."

The waitress came out of a nearby village to make a living in the city.I was finally able to get a job, but I have sick mothers and siblings back home.I can live a minimum life because of my accumulation, but I can't afford to treat my illness.

She kept on working, but because of her own life, she was really about to be forced to die.

It will be easier if you go to the city.

I was reminded that only a handful of people had succeeded.

"That's what happened."

When I was working in the back of the store, I was offered a deal to spread poison.

The waitress had to jump because large sums of money were given, whether successful or not.

"Well, you know the guy who made the deal."

Someone who was watching us made a deal to poison us.

I don't like it.

I keep my hands clean and I keep them under surveillance.

There is no watchman in the store.Most of them were sympathetic when they heard about the waitress.

"It probably has nothing to do with my client.You don't care what happens to you. "

"Oh no....!"

"I don't have to worry about it because it's the target side even here...."

Melissa's eyes turned towards Sylvia.

Sylvia was in a similar position, so I couldn't help feeling pitiful about the waitress.

I want to do something about it as a friend.

I want to help you not because of the pitiful waitress, but also to relieve Sylvia's anxiety.

"Yes - then, 'Please charge for the service here.'"

"... yes"

The manager replied and disappeared into the back of the store with the waitress.

I started talking again as if nothing had happened to the other customers who were in the store.

"You...."

"Rest assured, it's not slave magic."

I told you not to analyze it.

"Yes, I can't use Slave Magic ."

However, magic similar to Implicit , which can also be said to be in front of Slave Magic , can be used.

Melissa, the victim, said there was no incident.At the same time, I erased my memories of the noise from the customers who were in the store by using Implicit magic.

The effect range is in the store. It is still a newly developed magic, so the range is not wide.

"If this is the Labyrinth, [Labyrinth Magic] can easily imply..."

"You'll break your promise, so don't be any more powerful."

"Yes, sir."

I looked at Melissa's hand and found that the poisoned cake was gone.

"Now there's no more evidence."

Everyone stood up at the same time.

I could have left him alone if he was under surveillance, but there was a clear attack from the other side.

We can't ignore it anymore.

I'll take care of it.
