Sighing, he turned his attention to the pocket watch on the desk.
"Louis, I've been worried about the clock for a while now, but are you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah, a little bit."
Theodor stroked Van's head with his finger on the sofa in front of him, strangely staring at us.
"... it's complicated."
"What? Maybe we can finally go back to the world we came from today."
Yes, the day has finally come to move on to action tonight.
Tomorrow, as the date changes, the Spirit King plans to leave the Land of the Spirit of Light. Therefore, accordingly, we also go to the land of the Spirit of Light through the van at midnight across the date.
The day you've been waiting for, you can't hide your expectations without anxiety or nervousness. However, while thinking so, I have been troubled by the conflict over whether I can really go back like this.
"Of course, I want to go home now." But... there's too much left to do, so I'm worried. "
In response, Theodore stopped stroking Van's hand and lowered his eyebrows.
You mean the Lady Rachel of this world.
"Ah, I've finally got a few clues." Now, when I get back, who killed Rachel? Why did you aim for it? There's no way to know that anymore. "
--Who attacked Rachel for what purpose? Are you sure you want to return without revealing the enemy? Not to mention the fact that the opponent is not known in the original world, which could put Rachel in danger.
"I'm finally getting closer to the truth. If I say that I don't have any embarrassing feelings, I'm going to go crazy."
The strength naturally enters the hands firmly clustered on the desk.
With a bitter smile, Theodore got up from the sofa and stood in front of me. He changed from a loose expression to a serious expression.
"...... is Louie really suspicious of her involvement?"
In a room with only two people, Theodor moves his gaze to keep an eye on his surroundings, then asks me, hiding his voice.
"Even Theodore, isn't he? You knew it. Why hasn't my fiancée killed me in this world broken the silence so far?"
"... well..."
Theodor frowned and lowered his gaze in grief.
In an instant, the sound of a knock on the door echoed through the silent room.
Your Highness, do you mind?
In response to Cyril's voice outside the room, Cyril quickly stepped forward to me and Theodore with the paperwork in his hand.
Oh, Cyril, what did you ask for?
"This way."
What? Midway through reporting?
Theodor strangely peered into Cyril's desk.
This is the herbal report that Alberik asked for.
His Highness Alberik has warned us that we will not be able to confirm this because of the course of events.
"No, that's all I need to know."
She looked through the documents from corner to corner and gave them to Theodor, who was looking at them from the side.
"Huh, Lord Alberik is amazing after all." I didn't expect to find out this much in the next few days. "
“Thanks to Theodore's prompt investigation into the Curse Medicine that Rachel allegedly acquired.”
From the little information written in the letter from Lady Carol, it is only Theodore's information network that has reached us.
Despite the fact that the owner of the pharmacy, the books, the medicine that had been sold, all but one of them disappeared, Rachel was able to identify the medicine that she had acquired thanks to the network that Theodor had built on his own legs while he was away from work as a magician.
"No, I was honestly surprised that Miss Carol's case was so connected." But if you look into that store, it stinks. It seems to have handled a lot of medicinal herbs that are not allowed in the country. Was it fast escaping? When the Knights headed after the incident, there was nothing left. "
“The fact that we were able to escape the case before it became public is likely to have been linked to the tea party case and the mastermind that killed Rachel.”
"Are you the mastermind...?"
Cyril opened his eyes wide in my words.
“Does that mean someone switched tea leaves at Miss Rachel and Miss Carroll's tea party?”
"I guess that's what it is."... who knew that Rachel would get the Curse Potion. No, there could be someone who gave Rachel information about herbs and pharmacies and led Rachel to buy them there. ”
What matters to the mastermind is the fact that Rachel acquired and used the medicine herself to harm Carol. I mean, whatever kind of poison it is, it can be done.
"In other words, the person who was able to change the poison at that tea party." Then it will be narrowed down to just a few people. A tea party for two, at the Marquis Marcel's residence... No, but will Marcel's servants do that? "
"I don't think so." Marquis Marcel is a very discreet man. There is hardly any replacement of servants. But it looks like a few of Rachel's friends were asking about it that day before the tea party with Lady Carol. Besides, the royal ball was close, and several people from the royal palace came and went. And it looks like you and Lady Carol were among the gurus of the Grand Church. "
The area is detailed in the file of materials Cyril used to look into.
"Everyone who came in and out of the Marquis's house on that day was questioned and said to have nothing suspicious... but I think we need to wash them out again."
