53 – A risky tightrope walk

The main street of Imperial Lien.

Luxury restaurant ‘Feast of the Fairies’.

Although it was too late to have lunch, the restaurant was crowded with customers.

Like everything else with the name high-end. The people they deal with don’t care about money.

All they lack is place, time and entertainment.

so that,

“Let them eat as much as they want.”

“…Really, are you okay?”

Berta’s hand holding the menu trembled faintly.

My eyes widen and my throat burns.

2100 shillings.

It is the price of the food placed at the top of the menu.

Of course, it’s not the most expensive food, so there are many more expensive menus below that.

“Then… this. I will do this.”

Berta pointed with her index finger to a spot on the menu.

[Salad with Raison chicory and white Chandaz.]

170 shillings.

Siron frowned as he read the menu pointed to by Berta. Because I couldn’t even imagine what kind of food it was.

‘Chicory is chicory, and Chandaz is… what is it?’

Siron, who mainly ate meat with meat, vegetables with vegetables, and foods that used only simple, clear and intuitive ingredients, could not understand the contents of the menu even if he could read it.

‘I came here because they said it was the most expensive restaurant, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.’

Ching-

Siron rang the call bell and called someone.

A woman wearing a neat suit and bow tie approached me with elegant steps.

“May I take your order? customer.”

“Okay, from here, to here. “Give me everything.”

Siron said, drawing a line from the start to the end of the menu with his finger.

The waitress took a step closer and lowered her head. She wondered if the master in front of her was playing a prank.

“…Can I ask you again?”

“From here, to here… No. “Please bring out everything on the menu.”

“…Has confirmed.”

The waitress bowed down and collected the menu.

“Um, teacher? Are you really okay? “Looking at it, the price is no joke…”

“I have a lot of money, so don’t worry. “I’ll especially let you try it too.”

‘You can’t be rude by asking what kind of food it is.’

After a while, various foods came out one after another, filling the table. Because I couldn’t put all the menus on the table that was originally meant for two people. Only after adding an additional table were we able to place all the food.

It’s natural that people’s attention is drawn to that money. A murmur began to echo in the space where the sounds of clinking dishes and occasional conversations were heard.

“What family is this child from?”

“Tsk. “There are no rich men.”

“I think someone orders only enough food because they don’t have money.”

There’s no way Siron’s group couldn’t hear that noise.

Ofelia and Encia, who were guarding the scene, laughed as if it was fun, and Bertha, who did not know what was going on, turned her face red.

“Okay, then I will eat well.”

Berta fanned her hands to cool her heated face. With refined gestures, she cut the food into small pieces and put it into her mouth.

Siron spoke to Berta, who was eating a variety of foods one by one.

“hey. “Can I ask you something?”

“yes?”

“Are you sure you posted the report correctly? “How come there’s no news?”

“Keck!”

Berta, who was shocked by the sudden incident, hurriedly covered her mouth. Fortunately, the food prepared in front of me did not get dirty.

Bertha turned her head and pounded her chest, sweating profusely.

“Knock, call.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hey…what are you doing? It’s so dirty. Ophelia. “Please pat him on the back.”

“yes.”

Ophelia, who received Siron’s orders, patted the pathetic woman’s back.

After a while, after drinking cold water, Berta let out a thick breath before she was able to answer in a hurry.

“S-sorry. “What did you just say?”

“report.”

“A report? Yes, I posted that. Sure. yes.”

“Hmm… But why are you so embarrassed? “It’s like I heard something even though I couldn’t hear it.”

Siron put his hand on his chin and looked at Bertha. We just talked about work during the meal, but her reaction was overly fussy.

“Anyway, if it’s clear that the report has been uploaded, there should be some kind of response from here. But no one came to visit. “It’s not fun.”

“…”

“Are you really saying that you sent someone simply because you were curious about Prien’s succession ceremony? At least I don’t think so. ”

“…yes. “It certainly is.”

“under.”

Siron twitched the corner of his mouth. The woman standing in front of him is currently unable to properly meet Siron’s eyes.

Siron bit into the deliciously cooked lamb ribs. Blood rushed to Siron’s head, and he spun around a few times.

“That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a proper investigation team, and they only sent one person. “Isn’t this suspicious?”

“…It’s suspicious.”

“You too.”

“…”

“Who on earth did the report reach so that they can’t even talk to me properly?”

Siron held a sip of wine in his mouth… and then let out breath mixed with the smell of alcohol. I felt a little worse and my behavior became a little rougher. There is nothing more to think about.

Bertha’s tone and actions. All of this was screaming to Shiron that she was not in an honorable position.

Shiron immediately spit out what he was thinking.

“Who the hell are you, someone high enough to hide from me? It makes me feel bad because you think I’m inferior to you.”

“Sleep, wait!”

Berta hastily jumped out of her seat and got up. I managed to keep my voice from turning over.

“I didn’t betray you! Don’t kill me!”

Berta recalled a dream she had previously had. The scene of the devil’s hand piercing her stomach replayed in her mind, making her desperate.

The sudden uproar drew attention to the surroundings.

Bertha took a look around and felt an eerie feeling. Soft lighting in a dark space is reflected in people’s eyes. It felt like the devil standing behind him was going to put his hand on his heart at any moment. I wanted to run away.

“what?”

however. Surprisingly, Siron’s expression was not angry, but his eyes were wide open as if he was asking why.

Siron’s face grew hot due to the unintentional attention from people. He looked around and spoke softly to the woman standing in front of him.

“…Hey, it’s embarrassing, so sit down first. “What on earth are you doing now?”

“…yes? “You’re not going to kill me?”

“What bullsh*t. Why am I killing you? Do you want to keep talking nonsense? “Aren’t you going to buy me food?”

It was then. A waiter came trotting from afar. A man with a strict look said while adjusting his glasses with one hand.

“customer. “Can you please be quiet as it may be a nuisance to other guests?”

“S-sorry.”

Berta’s face turned red and she put her head down on the table.

Siron looked at Bertha with pitiful eyes and then opened his mouth.

“Is this all there is between us?”

“…sorry.”

“I know that you are reckless and have some shortcomings, but you are an inherently good person.”

Inspector Bertha was such a person. In the original work, he did not run away in the end, but was crushed by rubble and died while catching an enemy inside a collapsing building.

“So, speak comfortably. “I really need to hear who you are that you can’t even tell me.”

“…”

Berta clenched and clenched her fists, paused, and then closed her eyes. It was a heavy burden for someone who was just a salaried worker to embrace it. When I decided to speak, my heart gradually became lighter.

She let out another breath and tried to open her mouth with a lighter heart.

“my…”

“for a moment.”

Siron cut off Bertha’s waist. This was because Encia, who was standing behind him, was pressing Siron’s shoulder.

‘Someone’s keeping an eye on this place.’

Siron took out a black card with his signature still intact.

“Let’s move our seats.”

*

Siron called a carriage and headed to the mansion.

The destination is not the annex, but the deepest part of the main building. It was Hugo’s office.

Since Hugo had been away from his office for a long time, Siron took out the spare key he had gotten from him the other day.

This place had several anti-eavesdropping spells, so you could say whatever you wanted without worrying about anyone interfering.

Siron, who had locked the door, flopped down on the sofa in his office. Bertha sat in front of Siron, and Encia Ophelia stood side by side.

“…I am the 3rd prince.”

“no wonder. “I thought the level of the person following him was too high.”

“Are you following me?!”

“okay.”

Siron, who looked at Bertha, glanced at Encia, who had sent a suspicious signal.

“I only noticed it later. Was it after this woman suddenly woke up? “From then on, I continued to feel the intrusive gaze.”

“sorry. “I should have noticed sooner.”

Ophelia looked gloomy and apologized to Siron.

“No, the opponent was just bad.”

Unfortunately, Encia and Ophelia, the guardians of the Dawn Castle, were not all-powerful. Enciawa specializes in attack. Ophelia, who specializes in defense, is a combination optimized for protecting someone.

We must not expect them to detect or search for things beyond their capabilities. Of course, it is possible to find low-level people, but if a strong person who specializes in hiding or has skills related to it decides to do so, it is natural that they will not be able to find them.

‘If he were that strong, he wouldn’t be someone the 3rd prince could handle…’

Siron searched his mind once.

A list of named names that stay in the ecliptic and are unlikely to be discovered by Encia and Ofelia, who are in charge of the last half of the region.

[Hugo Prien]

[Guard Knight Commander Zad]

[Court Wizard Arak]

Except for Hugo, Siron’s associate, the two people who came to mind were people who could not move under the orders of the 3rd prince.

‘Is this the emperor’s name? However, the current emperor would not be interested in the third prince…’

Who else was there… Siron continued to search his mind. Dozens or hundreds of characters in the game appear and disappear repeatedly.

Leave aside the possibility that he is an apostle of a demon god. If he were an apostle, there was no way Encia and Ophelia wouldn’t harbor hostility.

If the hostility can be reduced as intended, and the character was in the imperial capital now, 10 years ago from the original work, he should be able to travel freely throughout the continent.

like that,

Siron thought of only one person.

[Forgotten Wizard Seira]

“Seira.”

When Siron called her name, everything around turned white.
