70. A bobcat jumped into a trap
Satisfactory sighs come from among the guests.
It may be due to changing the ingredients of salt pot baking to suit each preference.
It looked surprised and tasted delicious, but it seemed like it received a two-stage preparation.
It was a dinner party that continued in a good atmosphere, but some people didn't like it.
Siena can't hide her mood.
"... onee-sama, can you tell me one thing?
"What is it? I bet you served your favorite river fish in a salt pot. Didn't it taste good?
"Well, that was delicious..."
Oh, I'm a little surprised.
I thought you might say, "It looks new, but the taste was mediocre."
Dear Siena, I'm surprised to be honest... or perhaps it's an aggressive nature.
Adrib is weak, Siena, even though he can make a pretty bad smell.
Only Kate-sama's sister, who tends to explode emotions, seemed to have a fairly large gap.
"... but it doesn't matter now. The problem is that I'm the creator of this dish. Steaming ingredients with salt itself is a cooking technique not found in our hometown. I really don't think Onee-sama came up with that.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm not the originator of this cookbook, I'm Lady Leticia."
My name was mentioned and the table was a little rough.
Siena opens her mouth as if she had just seen it.
"Aren't you ashamed to rely on others for the prosperous food of Manila Day?
"It's not about relying, it's about working together. Is this dish the only way to cook with the abundance of salt in my territory? Everyone has a limit to what they can do on their own. You understand that, don't you? I thought you said this was a way of cooking that I and you couldn't think of."
Kate nods in her father's words.
Mr. Gallon said to Kate, "Your father is a tough man, but he will accept it if he knows what he's doing." But he seemed to be right.
Seeing Gallon approve of Kate, it seems that Siena's frustration is intensifying.
"It's just a beautiful thing to work together. Your sister is the main inviter for Manila Day, but you can't rely on Leticia.
"I'll tell you what. Is there any basis for that?
It's Chandelier.
Chandelier.
Siena speaks a word that she is very good at.
I was quietly convinced that she had fallen into a trap.
Siena's remarks raised the eyes of the guests.
The whole is made of a transparent material that is slightly white, reflecting candle lights and shining brightly.
It was an elegant and complex shaped chandelier worthy of luxurious interiors.
"Is there something wrong with this chandelier?
"Don't you think it's the role of the inviter to decorate the dining room?
"So the beauty of this chandelier is playing its part?
"Yes, it's a chandelier that can be said to be the main character in the interior of this room --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Siena's gaze turned towards us.
"I heard that this separation was a little hasty about five days ago. And the next day, Leticia and the glassmaker came to visit this separation house. I wondered what it was, but now the mystery has been solved. Your sister had Leticia set up a chandelier, didn't she?
"Sure, I was interrupting Kate's separation... could you tell me why you came to such a conclusion?
Siena's words are of the kind that I expected.
It would be best if the salt pot grilled was delicious and finished gently, but there was also the possibility that Siena would interfere.
At that time, I don't want to be left alone, so I set up something that should be called a counterattack thread or a trap.
"Please stop fooling around. I have been in and out of this detachment since before Leticia. So I understand. This chandelier is different from what was previously lowered in this room. It seems very similar, but my eyes cannot be deceived. Isn't it because someone accidentally destroyed this chandelier five days ago?
Siena declared herself confident.
"All that remains is to think about it a little. The chandelier in this room is a special order made entirely of fine glass. There are no two of the same shapes, and if you try to make something similar in a short period of time, you should be asked for a huge amount of money. Onee-sama shouldn't be able to afford that much, so the answer is one. Lady Leticia, who was asked by her sister, must have brought a glassmaker with her money, then let the glassmaker work day and night in the workshop to make a Chandelier imitation."
As Siena guessed, the guests listened quietly.
Lee Riena looks happy and Natalie looks worried.
Then Siena spilled a smile, seeing the other guests looking at me and Kate like they were blaming.
"In just four days, I think Leticia has prepared a similar chandelier. But aren't you relying too much on Leticia's financial resources? It is unfortunate that the chandelier has broken, but I can't help it....."
I can only see Kate lifting her eyes like Siena saying she's sorry.
I understand that feeling, but now I want you to hold it down.
The chandelier broke five days ago, not by chance or bad luck, of course.
It was Siena's breathtaking servant.
Siena, the mastermind, continued her words with an unfamiliar face.
"If the chandelier is broken, there must have been something else, such as using other rooms with inferior interiors. Even so, I don't think it would be a good idea to celebrate Manila Day, either for my sister, who relied on someone else's financial resources, or for Chandelier, a symbol of shallowness."
Dear Siena, who has a feeling of pity and unseen joy.
From such a girlfriend, I decided to draw a vain word.
"... Siena can be sure that this chandelier is different from what was in this room until five days ago?
"Yeah, it's something else. If you look closely, the shape is different."
"... okay. Okay, one last thing. Siena said this chandelier doesn't deserve Manila's day, but does that change your mind?
"I don't want to withdraw my foreword... but what do you want to say?
Siena seems to have been alert to my obstinate questions, but unfortunately it is too late.
Now that it's stuck in the trap, all I have to do is finish it.
"Siena is lying."
"... what?
"I think the evidence will be clear if we look closer to this chandelier."
