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

It was nearly evening when I was doing all sorts of things like capturing spies, interrogating them, etc.

Take Ira, who was waiting at the mansion. The three of us will go to the destination together, too. Sylvia, who gave me a report, was kept in Sierra's custody and remains on standby.

"Excuse me."

"Mars."

The place of destination - Aaron Alcaine, my grandfather with a dark look in one of the rooms inside the Alcaine family mansion, welcomed me.

Melissa was already in the room to deal with it.

"How's it going?

"I saw many doctors, but they all said they didn't even know what was causing it"

That's what I say. I see a woman sleeping in a room bed.

The woman dressed in fine negligee lay down with a painful look on her face.

"... Long time no see."

I shrugged in a weak voice when I saw us entering the room.

"Long time no see, Mr. Miriam."

Miriam Alcaine.

He is the person who will meet the three current women of the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce, and for me it would be more appropriate to call him my cousin.

Sylvia told me that she couldn't get out of bed like she was debilitated from daytime, and Miranda, my aunt, ran into our mansion at twilight where several doctors had given up.

Rather than relying on relatives, it was because they relied on treasures held by high-ranking adventurers.

"Please. Please help my daughter somehow!

Mr. Miranda bows her head.

He had no intention of being the wife of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but was purely worried about his own daughter.

"Miriam is herself refraining from getting married soon. Marriage may also be more difficult in this condition. So I want to help her somehow."

I'm going to sue you desperately, Mr. Miranda.

"I'll pay you anything I can."

"Mother."

"So - somehow get my daughter!

Keep crying, Mr. Miranda.

He couldn't stand the way his daughter was getting debilitated.

Face to face with your people.

"I don't want a reward"

"But..."

"This time, help relatives. It's just that."

Given the circumstances, it's not like I don't know one cause.

However, I don't know why it's debilitating.

Approach Mr. Miriam, where Illis is sleeping, to ascertain his body condition. If you are an Illis with recovery skills, you can learn about your health by simply touching them.

"... this!

"What happened!?

Ilis, who was checking on Mr. Miriam's health, gets stuck in words.

When I heard that, Mr. Miranda assumed the worst.

"Can you cure it?

The status quo is important there.

The [Heavenly Healing] of Illis will consume all magic, but any illness or injury can be treated. Besides, a [sword of application] can be used to restore a condition like a site defect that cannot be helped by normal treatment.

Depending on the conditions due to illness and injury, there is nothing that cannot be dealt with by Illis.

But Iris shakes his neck to the side.

"She's not suffering from illness or injury. It is deprived of its vitality by 'poison'"

"Poison?"

It is Rio's mother who was the same labyrinth lord who is evoked.

She was tormented to take 'The Poison of Depore' by someone who neglected to mention Rio as her new emperor.

"I had a toxic reaction to my body. And a more troublesome substitute than 'poison of depore'. Complete detoxification is impossible with my skills"

"Why not?

Using Illis' skills should make you feel better.

"My skills can both be restored from their current state. But the poison Miriam received resembles a drug and once she takes the poison, she gets trapped in the habit of 'wanting to take the poison'. It can't even be detoxified by my skills"

They say habituality can't even heal with healing magic.

For this reason, there is no other way to be gutsy and treat abnormal people who have taken drugs.

"It's not like there's no way to detoxify it, though"

"Is that true?

"Yeah. If only we could have the antidote..."

The problem is about the antidote.

It may also be difficult to make an antidote unless you are the person who made the poison only to the poison you have no idea.

"Mm, is my daughter going to help!?

Mr. Miranda tells Ilis.

At present, the only person who was told the cause of Miriam's symptoms was Iris, so I had to tell her.

"It's not like there's no way."

"Really!?

"I know who made the poison."

"Yes."

It's not like there's no way.

However, in order to do so, it is necessary to identify the person who used the poison.

If you didn't have a clue at all, it's a good place to block in all directions.

Most of all, I knew who did it.

"Do you recognize anyone in this?

Create a phantom that reflects the Rengen clan captured in the corner of the room.

You will also need a variety of conditions to take the poison. It is possible that we are in contact in some way, and the parties and family may look familiar.

"... the third young man from the right looks familiar"

"Yeah, he's a little different looking, but he's a boy who's been bringing food to the Mansion for weeks. The name is..."

It's Eddie.

Miriam answers on behalf of her grandmother, who could not remember her name.

"I also came to deliver food this morning. At that time, I was the only one in the house who could handle it, so I responded."

"I know who did it."

Probably someone named Eddie is the killer.

Look at Iris and urge him.

It was the face of the Alcaine family who was surprised by the sudden disappearance of Illis, but returned soon. And I was even more surprised to see Eddie held in that arm.

"You poisoned Mr. Miriam."

"Oh, you got it."

Though I was surprised that he was suddenly brought to a place like this, Eddie answers my question without being evil.

I'm annoyed, so I kick.

"Argh, I'm here...!

I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of broken ribs from the way I felt when I kicked you.

"The killer is Koz. But you can't give him away."

"... let me tell you the truth, I just want you to judge me in formal procedure. But you're the ones who captured him. I can't let you hang out with me. However, not only did he know about the killer, but he also held him in captivity..."

"I'll explain the situation now."

That explains the series of kidnappings that took place today.

In view of what they said and did, I'm pretty sure they were thinking of threatening me with taking hostages to pass the demands.

But the kidnapping failed.

So, it was the people of the Alcaine family who were conceived as reserve hostage candidates. It would be a complete coincidence that Mr. Miriam was chosen, but I'm pretty sure he was targeted solely for the reason that he was related to me.

"Are the great-grandchildren okay?

"Yeah, we're safe so far"

We apologize for getting into this situation and tell them that we are safe.

"If I kill this man, will the poison be detoxified?

"I hope so..."

You read this intent. I can get zero grin out of Eddie's mouth.

"It's no use. I was asked by the chief to give her what she needed to poison me."

"... that's it"

Miriam's gaze is directed towards the blue flower decorated beside the bed.

A flower I had never seen before, the blue color had the suspicion of confusing everything. That's why some are attracted.

"When I responded, I was persevered in speaking and only received flowers for the last time."

"That flower has a little finishing to it. Doesn't make sense that I just sniffed it from a remote place, but if I smell it close enough, it'll be enough of a drama to make me sick in a few hours."

You will need an antidote to detoxify the poison.

But only the person known as the 'chief' who made the poison has the antidote.

"I see what you guys are after."

When I say it out cold, I grab Eddie's neck.

"Mr. Miriam will definitely help. So please don't say anything else about what happened here or what's going to happen."

That's what I say. Back to the labyrinth.
