Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 422: Mystery Solving ③
"Then you, it wasn't yourself who poisoned you. Is that what they say?
"Naturally."
Orto stares at Sidi with a serious look. On the other hand, she looks at him with cold eyes. It's like flames and ice collide, and it overwhelms us. The elves, starting with the meek, seem to be sipping and watching what happens.
I saw eye to eye with King Elf. He is nodding slowly. Apparently, you're telling me to do it fully.
"For that matter, even though I found out this plate was poisoned, I didn't see how I could wolf at all?
"Ku......"
"Apparently, all of you elves are really trying to take the lives of me, my husband, and Princess Meek. Besides, even you, who are supposed to be protecting us... I'm so sad."
"By order of the King, I am here to protect you. Indeed, it is my responsibility when it comes to the fact that there was something inappropriate in today's dishes. My sincere apologies. On top of this, poke the poisoned with all your might. I don't know if there's anything you're comfortable with, but please step back to your room first."
He raises his right hand horizontally and urges us to exit. But Sidi goes on to say even more without being frightened at all.
"Before you do, I'd like to confirm something"
…………
"Whoever killed Mr. Leila, will not be caught, yet?
"... Yes. Not yet."
"Can't you even find a clue?
"... Yes"
"Who was the one who was examined?
"Kensi?"
"You're the one who checked the scene where Mr. Layla was murdered and looked into her cause of death. No way, no one checked, you didn't put it on the daisy, did you?
"… I have confirmed"
"Is that you?
Siddie's voice color changed. Something, angry.... Scary.
"What else, have you checked?
"No."
"What an inferior! Did you unhappily bare one woman who died!? I heard the elves honor women, but what do you do!
…………
The signs of the elves have changed. He's obviously hostile to us, pointing at us. This woman, what are you talking about? It is also clear to me that he is pointing his consciousness. Orto's eyes in front of him got cuddly smaller.
"There are good things to say and bad things to do! That I would naked Leila, and so on! That can't be happening! What the hell did you do that for? This is an insult to me!
He turns to King Suh Elf and gives him a compliment. But the king does not change his expression in any way and keeps looking at Orto. He slowly raised his face, but it solidified as he gazed at the king.
"... Dear Orto"
Siddie speaks in a gentle voice. He turns to his face slowly, but with the look of not talking to him, he immediately tries to turn to the king.
"You, really, haven't naked Mr. Layla, have you? Believe me, are you sure?
"I don't know what your words mean. You are sometimes asked questions that go beyond my comprehension. Why would I have to bare Leila, who took her life? Besides, she's stained with blood. Touching her is impossible."
He explains in such a way as to bite and include, as if to teach a child. From the atmosphere, I saw the emotions that I told you not to talk to me any more.
"... ok. Okay, let me check one last time. What the hell was the cause of Mr. Leila's death?
Orto shook his neck left and right, not asking me to give him a break anymore. And, well, open your mouth like it's a pain in the ass.
"Leila was dead when she was pounded in the stomach."
"Right? Left?
"Left. That's enough, right? I'm afraid..."
"Did you hear that?
Block Orto's words, Sidi turns to me again. She turned her gaze in turn with King Elf, Meek, and turned her gaze to me again.
"Dear Linos, now Mr. Orto has been told what caused Mr. Leila's death?
"What...? Sure, he got his left belly pounded and killed...?
"Did you hear that? I heard that, too."
Sidi grinned cously and, with that look on his face, turned his gaze to Orto.
"You fell to talk"
"Nah..."
"Master Orto, you have now been told yourself that you are the culprit"
"Huh..."
Eyes open and surprised Orto. Sidi looks at him with a cold look.
"You were told that Mr. Leila was killed when she was pounded in the stomach. Isn't that right?
…………
"How did you know it was a one-poke?
"It's... you can see it"
"Were you wearing clothes?
"Re... Leila... because there was only one place with blood on it"
"It came with blood... I bled to the point where they took my life. It would have been a significant amount of bleeding. The clothes would have been stained with blood, too. In that, how can you say it's a punch?
"Ugh..."
"Isn't it strange not to suspect there are multiple wounds? My dear compatriot's life was taken. At the very least, it's obviously unnatural not to let anyone in the woman reveal the wound, not you. I didn't do that, and I can determine that the cause of her death was the one that got her pounded, because you were the one who killed her."
"Chi...... no. Not me."
Orto is turning to the king and complaining about something. Perhaps the killer is elucidating that he is not himself. But from that rush, it was enough to have certainty that he was the killer.
"... Orto tells your father that he didn't kill himself."
Meek squeaks in a small voice. That would be so. I'm the killer, and there's no way I can say that.
"It's ugly."
Siddie's cold words echo.
"You killed a dear compatriot to fall on us. I approached him as he behaved like one of our allies, caught him off guard, and tried to take his life. Are Elves the kind of people who do that kind of cowardly thing?
"Shut up!"
The look on Orto's face is distorted. I'm letting my killer go from all over my body. I shouldn't do this.
"Let me tell you something!
At that moment, I wondered if light had been emitted from Orto's arm, and a ball of burning fire had been emitted.
"Siddie!"
I'll take her arm and pull it over. The flames are coming at us precisely.
"Shh!
Unexpectedly hugs Sidi and turns her back on a scorching bullet.
Dosh!
The dull sound echoes.
…………
I open my horrible eyes. There was the same view as earlier.
"Yeah, I'm fine. That's right, Master Linos."
When I realize it, Sidi is touching my back with a pet. Apparently, the attack earlier was defensible in my line of sight.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly Sidi hugged me. When she wondered if she had a full smile, she looked soothingly serious and turned to Orto again.
"Now we have all the questions solved. After all, it was you who killed Mr. Leila, Mr. Orto, I'm sure."
…………
He's staring at us with a hateful look. Soon, the elves who had refrained from being in the room have gathered near him as well.
"Mr. Orto, I had anticipated from quite an early stage that you were the killer, but I was really not sure about the murder weapon. But when I saw the attack, I was sure."
Sidi glanced around at the assembled elves, gushing her chest.
"Shall I tell you how Mr. Leila was killed?"
Orto's breath is getting rough......
