Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 421: Mystery Solving ②

"First, how did you find out this dish was poisoned, and should I tell you about that?

Orto's eyebrows move pickly. The unspeakably unpleasant atmosphere that comes from its body is not half. Despite that situation, Sidi opens her mouth pale.

"Sweet ice dishes served just before this dish. That was so delicious. That would be so. Because that dish was the most important part of this dinner party. That's why you were squeezing your wits into wisdom and finishing up with more delicacies on your arms."

Sure, that shake ice was delicious. But it's totally unbelievable that this shaved ice was the point of this dinner party, etc.

"This dish served after......"

Sidi glanced straight at me, wondering if she'd dropped her gaze on a poisonous plate.

"Dear Linos, I'm afraid you can taste this dish?

... are you going to die on me?!? Too much shock, tears accumulate in my eyes.

"No, don't eat it? Probably fine, but never drink. I just taste it. To my beloved Lord Linos, if anything happens, I cannot live. I'm afraid I'll just taste it... No, are you okay? You probably can't drink it. It's all right, it's all right, just let it go."

Siddie flies the wink. Sure it's cute, but what would it be, the empty feeling of coming to this chest? I don't adore you at all......

With that in mind, I drop my gaze on the plate in front of me. These sweets look delicious to see. I tried licking the sauce earlier but it tasted very sweet. I'm sure this fruit is pretty sweet too. I'll stab it with a fork and take it to my mouth.

... I'm sure it's very sweet, but drinking is strictly forbidden. Though poison resistant LV5, alarm is forbidden. If you taste it in your mouth, spit it out immediately.

That's what I told my heart, and I put the fruit in my mouth.

"What!"

I made an amazingly nasty voice myself. No, it doesn't taste good. So unsavory. Haven't had such unsavory food in a long time. What to say...... The moment I put it in my mouth, it spreads full of sweetness, but from then on, indescribable bitterness spreads. Harmony with sweetness and bitterness...... Other than the word tasteless, I don't see a word to describe it. If I dare say, how do I feel when I mix bitter pills with Kao Pis...... Too bad. It tastes too bad anyway.

I'm losing my temper, I'm not blind, I spit out what's in my mouth. Then, contain the water that was poured into the glass in your mouth and wash it with a bukbuk.

"Don't drink that water either. Fine. Spit it out in the plate."

As Siddie instructs, I spit out the water in my mouth. Still, some bitterness remains. I want to wash my mouth a few more times, but I'm going to put up with it here for now.

Sidi looked at me with a satisfying look, but eventually shifted her gaze to Orto and continued talking with a serious look on her face.

"I did just an elf and couldn't make a tasteless, odorless poison...... You couldn't get it, could you? Did I just say naturally that I couldn't because I had refused to make contact with the outside world for hundreds of years? Instead, plants themselves are difficult to grow in the first place in this mountain, so making poison is difficult in itself...... And, more honestly, because we had no interaction with the outside world and lived exclusively with the Elf clan, there was no opportunity or need to deal with poisons in particular? This menu was made by generating poison in it and squeezing wisdom into squeezes. Should I just say that? But Master Orto put himself in the shape of a trap he set himself up in."

……

There is a wrinkle between Orto's brows. A little, it looks like he's getting murderous. Sidi continues her words without being frightened at all, even when she sees how it goes.

"Poison mixed with this dish...... Perhaps it was chosen because of its immediate effect. But this poison has bitterness. What could I really not erase this suffering...... no?

Orto's breathing is getting a little rough. It can often be seen that the force is applied to both clenched hands.

"That's where you thought about this ice treat. Whatever you say, including the cold ones, your mouth will be mahi. Besides, this dessert is cooked to swallow with little bite...... If you do, you will swallow with little bitterness."

"Sidi, wait a minute. How do you know that?

I accidentally got a voice. She gave a slightly unexpected look, but eventually a gentle grin began to speak politely, as if chewing and including.

"Master Linos will cook for himself, won't he? When are cold things served when you are in a position to entertain your customers?

"... first or last"

"Right?"

"Do you serve dessert after you serve something cold?

"... don't. I knew ice cream was the last thing in the ice system."

"I agree."

When she grins nicely, she turns her gaze to Orto again.

"I would have fallen into your trap before and eaten this dish without any doubt. But thanks to the experience of meeting my husband and engaging in cooking myself, I was able to notice this trap. I was bonded to a good man."

What the hell is this Dwarf talking about? The air dominates the scene. But next door, I was honestly happy with Sidi's words.

"It was you, Master Orto, who made all the differences in this dish, wasn't it? It's about you smart, you probably put the poison in yourself, too. This time it was used...... is it Kashitoki? It is a grass that is also native to mountains at high altitudes, and in its fruit you can remove emulsions. If you dry it, it will be powdered. If it's a small amount, it becomes an excitant, but when the amount passes, the muscles cramp hard, and you have trouble breathing to death...... Probably refined that and used it for this dish? So, if so, Master Orto. Your hands should be yellow."

Bishi and Sidi point to Orto and pose for a decision. I look great, but I can't see Orto wandering off at all. On the contrary, he slowly approaches us and raises his hands.

"Come on, take a look at it heartily. Will my hands be stained yellow?

From what I've seen, I can't confirm the color that looks like it. He had his hands on us for a while, but eventually posed to show his hands to King Elf, as if to prove his innocence.

"Look, I knew it"

I hear Sidi's happy voice. Orto turned to us in a tremendous shape.

"Master Orto, what is the pattern of that sword?

"Pattern?"

The pattern of the sword resting on Orto's hips...... the white pattern, but if you look closely, some of it turns yellow. For a moment he gave a ghoulish look.

"Master Orto, you have a habit of holding a sword pattern with your left hand. Perhaps you are, by nature, left-handed. You poisoned and unconsciously gripped the pattern with its left hand…. Careful about you, I thought you were probably washing your hands and wondered if there was any other evidence...... I knew it. Thank you for coming so close to me."

Sidi with a satisfying look on her face. But Orto tries to squeeze out the words and opens his mouth as he moves his temples with a pimple.

"Oh no... that's it... It's a white pattern. Sometimes the colors change, right? This is me... out-of-heart about Shiki. I want you to stop!

Sidi watched the situation, but eventually, with a loud sigh, he shook his head slowly......
