Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Lips dyed purple with discoloration of blood on pale skin like the winter sky. Although her complexion seemed like a dead person, her eyes were sparkling with strange light, and the imbalance highlighted her upset.

Carina lost her sight and then opened her mouth slightly. But it didn't work like saying something, and I just moved my lips like a fish caught. A trembling breath leaks out of his throat.

Theoli

Unable to respond aggressively to Alec, who called himself without losing sight of Carina, Theori answered him with only her eyes.

"You didn't drink the contents, did you?

"... yeah, I'm fine. Alec would have stopped me before that happened."

With him in mind, I should have been timing at the very last minute.

That said, Alec nodded slightly loosening his expression. But for a short while, his eyes were rugged back.

I need a medicine bottle from this woman.

"... yeah. Okay."

She nodded to a short instruction and gently removed it from her hand, which was stiff with the medicine bottle tilted. At that time, the hands touched were cold and sweaty, and Shiori couldn't stand it anymore and her eyes fell down.

Leaving her with the approaching Niklas, Alec took the sword and received the medicine bottle he had taken away.

Is it about the size of an enamel bottle? The pointed, characteristic shape of the bottle is probably meant to drain the contents one by one. After checking the label he held with his fingertips, Alec sniffed the smell by stirring the bottle mouth with his hands. Then I leave the medicine bottle with Niklas.

"... sleeping pills. Flowers of evening grass"

Niklas confirmed it in the same way.

"If you complain of insomnia, anyone can easily get it."

Carina, who was restoring a little peace, asked to make amends.

"... yeah, that's right. I sometimes use it when I can't sleep. Shiori-san needs to be active tomorrow so I can sleep well."

"Did you go all the way to get Lord Felicia and the guards to sleep magically and steal the keys? It's a painful excuse."

I suppose I was aware of that. Still, the miserable words that I said with a single wish were no excuse. She chewed her lips and lay down her eyes. But for a moment, Carina opened her mouth again, raising her eyes.

"― ― Siori was in the way to make the plan a success. I was blind. So I was going to let you sleep until it was all over."

"Until it's all over."

Alec said to mock. The gaze is terribly cold and truly expresses the anger and disgust that pushed and killed the heart.

"This medicine is for diluting. Add a few drops to a glass of water and it will work. You tried to make him drink it in bulk."

"I mean... in the prescribed amount, I'll wake up in the morning. I need you to sleep all day."

Carina seemed confused without realizing the true meaning of Alec's words, but Shiori felt a faint fear and pretended to tremble her body.

Simply mix a few drops of the medicine into water and use the stock solution. What that means.

Alec, hugging Shiori's shivering shoulders, asked in a low voice.

"Let me ask you something for your information. Master Carina, how long were you going to let Theoli drink this?"

Carina seemed confused when she couldn't grasp Alec's question, but she answered honestly.

"About half...."

Oops, a moaning, angry breath leaked out of Niklas.

Alec's purple blue eyes, staring silently at her, narrowed even sharper. A much sharper gaze than when confronting a beast.

Perhaps she had never been pointed at since she was born, and Carina's blue complexion turned as white as paper because of the negative feeling of her peeling. The knight supports his body, leaning toward fear.

"I'm glad we noticed. Otherwise, you'd be a murderer by now."

"So... murder!?"

Carina looked away at Alec's words. He shakes away the hand of the knight who supported his body, and leans forward with his footsteps.

"Murder is a big deal! It's a sleeping pill! You'll wake up in a few days at the most!

You're still an amateur. It is not easy for a person with that level of knowledge to tackle a drug-using crime. "

Alec laughed.

"One or two drops of the stock solution will definitely wake you up in a few days. But if you drink half of it, you'll never wake up again. He's in a coma, he's debilitating, and he's gone."

Poisoning deaths due to drug overdose. No matter what kind of medicine it is, I know that if it is too much, it will adversely affect my body, and I am not familiar with the medicine. However rich and advanced, many people in this country must not be familiar with it as common sense, as Japan has not benefited from the means to examine and obtain the information necessary for access to education.

"- That's not true."

Carina moaned.

"I... I don't mean that..."

"Even if I didn't mean to, if I did, it's all your fault."

"But it's an attempt! Theoli is safe!

She must have raised her face to the harsh words of Alec. While saying that she was safe, her tight gaze clearly grasped Shiori, and her hair fell in love with her apparent intention to kill.

"- That doesn't mean you're innocent, lady."

Carina finally knelt on the spot and covered her face with both hands, in a quiet, but cut-and-drop Niklas' words. A crazy woman's sobbing echoes indoors.

Siori looked down and stood up without a word, with her lover holding her shoulder. My first impression of being an intelligent and sober woman has not changed. If she was the top star manager, she would have been a very talented woman. It was not pleasant to see her uncover her sins and grieve.

"--Why did you do this?"

Connie appeared from behind the knight and asked quietly.

"I understand that it's going to get in the way of the plan. So what's the plan? Are you going to put Mr. Felicia in jail?

She nodded softly, covering her face, just to ask him gently.

"Why? It was clear to everyone that you two trusted each other. I've seen you take care of her. And why would you do that?

The hand covering his face quietly moved away and rested gently on his lap. However, I can't even look at his face with his face down.

"... I was jealous. Ferris has gone up in just a few years to the glorious place I couldn't reach. I taught him the song from scratch, but he got better before he knew it - he quickly overtook me. And yet I...."

Cumming, you can only see the bite around your mouth.

"At best, my front seat stops. While I couldn't get the results, I was being overtaken by the rest of the kids, and in the meantime it was a cash box. That's why I was going to give up this world and live as a tutor."

And then I met him. I was attracted by a daughter named Felicia and realized her talent as a tutor. I returned to the world where I should have given up once as a manager, and I felt jealous when I saw her emerge as a flower singer.

While heightening her reputation as a competent manager, she overlaid herself when she was still shining on the stage - and was badly struck by the divergence between her now shining figure and her miserable figure, who had to give up her dreams.

The presence of Hildegardo was also unacceptable to Carina. Interrupted between herself and Felicia, who had cultivated friendship over the years, she was in a position to be called her best friend in a very short period of time. She grabbed her place as a flower singer, no matter how hard she reached, just like Felicia did.

It was a day when I felt alienated when I saw two singers talking to each other and consulting about troubles. In my position as a manager, I couldn't get into it at all, but I was too miserable to my daughter, who grew up in Shimomachi, whose identity as a nobleman and former entertainer was inferior to my daughter.

Days of shaking between friendship, jealousy and duty, unknown grief.

"In the meantime, there were more and more days when I couldn't sleep well. That's why the doctor told me. She said she should stay away from work and rest in a quiet place for a while. I would rather live away from this world than overcome it as it is."

"--Did you give the sleeping pills to the doctor?

Carina nodded as she leaned over to ask Niklas. After a period of silence, he opened his mouth again.

"I thought I'd like to get some rest. My fiancé also told me. This is a good opportunity for me to keep my register and move on to the territory. That's why I decided to quit my job and move to a resting place soon. But..."

Your slender hand, still resting on your lap, is squeezing in.

"I regretted it. I had to quit my dream, give up my job and drag myself into the countryside, but Felicia was gorgeously active as a singing princess in King's Landing."

"So you're going to fall in love, embarrass yourself on the stage and discredit yourself?

Connie nodded quietly.

"I was jealous. I envied the boy who had everything I wanted. I envied her for her gorgeous appearance, her top star seat, her friends talking in the same position, and everything she could not get even if she wanted me!

"--Then I'll give you where I belong, so give me where I belong."

Carina, who gave out her thoughts, had the words of a woman with lotus leaves that didn't match the scene.

--Beyond that, she turned in amazement, Felicia stood with her fluffy body supported by a helmet.
