"Well, can we put that behind us?"
"... circumstances over there, what?
"Sorry, it's nothing."
I thought it was just a nickname. The nickname "Stia” ——
As far as Christina's reaction is concerned, it's obvious that she has some connection to this girl.
But if they want to hide it, let's not dare cut into its core.
Maybe if you do that, this kid will get away with it.
If you're stuck here, it's natural to assume that something is going on that I don't know about.
I need to shake it in moderation first and pull the information out.
When I exhale, Stia sits down.
"So, what can I do for you, Mr. Steer?
"Eh."
I can hear the rust and coat rubbing off.
Apparently, he put his hood back on deep.
"It's this darkness, I didn't see your face. I can only tell the color of my eyes is blue at best."
The sound of pitch and clothes rubbing stops.
"Wait. Didn't you realize who I was?
"No? I wonder if you're a famous lady. I'm not that familiar with the aristocratic community, so maybe I don't know who it is when I see my face."
"... So, did you camouflage?
"Sort of."
Oh, and I can hear the girl sigh.
"Nevertheless, we lied to each other"
"Shh?"
"Yes. The first name you named, a pseudonym, right?
Stia's breathing rhythm is disturbing.
The sound of swallowing saliva was heard low.
"... well, I don't doubt your help, but may I ask how you figured it out?
"It's easy. There's no way a man who wants to hide his identity in a hood at midnight like this can say his real name so lightly."
"Oh, no..."
"Really? Shall we turn on the lights then?"
That's what I said, and I took a seat. A small body hugged me in the arm.
"Oh, that! I'll admit it... I'll admit it, that's all."
I sigh briefly in a pleading voice.
Is he that familiar with his face?
"... if you know me, you also know it's pointless to hide who I am, don't you?
"Still, please, Mr. Rosie. This isn't about me, it's about Stea Reminkles."
... That's what I'm saying.
I felt Yuri and a close atmosphere in those words with a quiet determination.
Gently wave your arms and prompt Stia to leave, slapping him on the back and letting him sit in his seat.
"I know it's wacky. But I haven't decided to take the request yet."
"No, I'm sure Mr. Rosie will take it"
"... heh"
I'm somewhat intrigued by that confident word.
No one can stir me up in just one word.
This looks like something you can expect.
Then let me ask you what you asked for.
Okay, so I said and put it down for a breath, and Stia started wandering her coat about the mess.
"... here it is"
"Yeah?"
Sara, I can hear the flowing sound of sand for a moment.
"I said I couldn't do it and they got it. Because you won't believe me for not showing the real thing."
"May I grip it?
"Yeah, sure."
A cold fingertip opens my hand and puts something like a paper wrap on it.
Every once in a while I shook it and it sounded like the same grain of sand would rub off.
"It's a drug wrapper. It's got something in it."
"It's called the“ all-purpose drug ”that is widespread among the advanced nobles. If you fry and drink with a strong desire to recover from your illness, do you think that the sick person in the abyss of death will also be fully happy the next day? It works for“ old, "and it's a really great drug."
"Hmm, that's amazing"
"Yeah, I think so too"
It seems that Stia agreed with me that I meant to be sarcastic.
Even in a world where there is such a thing as a magic guide as is normal, there are limitations, as in previous life, which were reflected by science and machines.
There are always ura and tanes in miracles beyond human intelligence.
"So, what do you want me to do with this medicine? I hate you, but I'm a fortune teller and I'm not a seller, so I can't buy drugs, can I?
"No! Well..."
Mouthwatering steer.
"There are rumors about the ingredients as well as the medicine and its effects.... I want you to find out if that's true."
I see.
It's called an extension of private therapy.
Even without scientific evidence, it somehow seems to work if they believe it is.
Yotai is famous for saying "rhinoceros horns work for cancer” in previous life.
"... wait a minute"
Break into the timing when Stia opened her mouth.
Somehow, I had a bad feeling about it.
"There was no such thing as a connection to me. So you're saying I'm involved in the ingredients for that drug?
"Yes."
Close your mouth again.
The heavy silence stirs up an unpleasant imagination.
"... Earlier I said it like I made a fool of myself, but the personal difference is that the effect of that drug is definitely genuine. I have defended the prosperity of the king's capital more than once."
"That must be a placebo effect."
"I don't know what the puff... But no matter how great the medicine, if the rumors of the ingredients were true..."
"Regardless of the authenticity of the drug effect, must we turn the country over to our enemies to eliminate it?
Stia exhales trembling.
"... please, listen without disturbing"
The sound of sawdust and saliva swallowing was heard slightly louder.
When she realized it was mine, after she'd already uttered--
"The ingredient, the elf bone… it must also have silver hair (...). Yes, rumored."
It was long after I recognized the words correctly. [M]
