"Excuse me."

Again I heard a woman's voice. Kakuin turned around slowly, expecting to see her again. There was the Dwarf woman who had appeared before.

"May I have some water, please?

He nodded cockily.

"I was thirsty. Thank you!"

Sidi claps her hands and talks happily to the elf who has brought a pot-like object. I could have at least magicked out some water for you. ....... I let out a giggle as I think about it. That's right, I can't use magic.

Sadie is curious about the pot that has been brought in. It is a cylindrical one with no spout, and from my position I can't see how she pours water from it. And there seems to be no cup of any kind. How would one drink the water? Is he going to drink it directly?

But the elf man turned his palm toward the ceiling, and what looked like a glass appeared there. He puts it on the table and points his palm toward the ceiling again. A glass appears. After he produced two glasses, he turned his eyes to me. He seems to be asking me if I want a glass of water too. I give a small nod.

He gave me a look of blatant disapproval. Why do you hate me so much?　What did I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at the elf and Sidhi, stifling my indescribable emotions. The pot seems to have a spout on the ceiling, which he holds in his hand and tilts slowly. Then water is poured into the glass.

"Thank you very much."

Sadie greets him more smilingly than usual. He can smile like that. Seeing her smiling like that, Sidhi is cute. .......

While I was thinking this, the elf left the room without saying a word. Siddee watched him, picked up the glass and drank the water.

"......Yeah, it's delicious. But is this ice?"

She stares at the glass in her hand, observing it. She looks at the glass from every angle, then suddenly brings it to her mouth. She seems to be pressing her lips against the glass.

I'm a little intrigued, so I shift my position. Then Sadie presses her lips against the glass with her eyes closed. It looks like something you would see on a page of a pop idol's photogravure.

At that moment, Sadie's eyes opened and she turned her head to look at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you think of this ice, Mr. Linos?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take the glass she offers and hold it in my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's cold."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's just the way it is, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Don't look so disappointed. It hurts my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you make this glass of ice, Mr. Linos?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at the glass again. It's very pure ice. It is not simply frozen water. And the ice does not melt when I hold it in my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I suppose you could make it, but it would ...... take a lot of time and effort."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even with my water magic, it takes time to make ice this pure. It is impossible to make it in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sidhi pauses to reason again, thinking about something. She slowly walks around the room in this posture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sidie ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Pure ice is hard and hard to melt. ....... Mr. Linos."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How long will it take to melt this glass of ice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a little puzzled, not understanding the intent of her question, but I think about it for a while as I look down at the glass in my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you really try, you can melt it in an instant. No, not just dissolve, but evaporate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She nods and walks slowly around the room, pausing to reason again.

tips...... tips...... tips...... tips...... tips.......

She walks with a precise rhythm, as if a second hand is ticking the time. And then the motion stopped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Probably, definitely. It's the smartest thing I've ever seen. The rest is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is mumbling to no one. She seems to have had a flash of inspiration, but I have no idea what she is talking about. In spite of my confusion, she is thinking about something again, staring at the ceiling.

Then I see Meek's hand reaching for the pot on the table.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At my words, Meek shudders and freezes on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I hate to think it, but it could be poisoned. You should not eat or drink anything until you leave this castle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Suddenly, Sidhi's voice is heard. She slowly turns her gaze from her heavenly position to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This water is fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You say it's good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, Sadie. No, Sidhi. You have the Deer God's blessing to resist poison. You should have no problem with ordinary poisons. But Meek doesn't. So be very careful. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As for this water, it's fine. My gut feeling is that it's probably safe to drink."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So ...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sidi gives Meek a look. With that, she pours water into a glass and drinks it with a gulp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. It's good water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How is this water made?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It is made by melting snow. The water melted from the snow of this mountain tastes good, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meek looked satisfied and poured water into the glass again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Dear Linos, ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sidi talks to Meek while watching him. His expression is a little tense and somewhat powerful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If they are going to take our lives, they will probably poison us. As you pointed out, I have the blessing of the Deer God, but Master Linos and Princess Meek...... especially Mr. Meek are not resistant to poison. We must be very careful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh ....... Yes, I know. Not just poisons. It could be a poisonous fog or a poisonous needle that kills you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Poisonous fog can engulf those around you if not handled with great care. Poison needles seem to be ...... hard to plant. I don't think that's ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's be very careful about what goes in our mouths."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She looks at me again with a stern expression on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't look so worried, Mr. Linos. I already know who did it. Now we just need to figure out how to lure him out. The only thing left is to make sure we get out of this castle in one piece.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　What did you just say?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So... so... so... so... We already know who did it. But the elves will be more convinced if the culprit himself says I'm the culprit than if we reveal the culprit to them. The question is how to make that happen, but we will find a way. But the fact remains that Princess Meek is the target, so the question is how to protect her. So, Mr. Linos, please be very careful with Princess Meek. It is unlikely, but if she offers you something to eat or drink, be sure to stop her."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah ...... ah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was still too confused and anxious to understand Sadie's explanation, but she suddenly softened her expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't look at me like that. I absolutely need your help to get out of this castle safely. It is only with your help that I am able to concentrate on my contemplation. I will be fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So ...... I see. I'm glad to hear you say that. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She smiles at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sadie is really cute when she smiles like that. That smile keeps me calm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Is that so?　I'd be happy to do that for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She turned to me, her expression serious for a moment, and then immediately broke into a big smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ahem, Linos-sama!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ggh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ri...... Rinos-sama!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I involuntarily crouched down, holding my chest. Sadie's smile was so cute that it shot through my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sadie rubbed my back. I felt sorry for her and burned her smile into my mind. .......
