I left Darius’s corpse there.
This is a prior arrangement with Ariel.
Regardless of how the murder took place, it’s best to leave Darius’ corpse behind if possible.
The possibility that Ariel is accused at a later time is also high, but...
It’s more important to prove that Darius is dead.
This happy feeling over killing someone… bothers me.
"Fuu ...... "
The unpleasant guy died.
I killed him.
The aftertaste is bad.
I did not deal the finishing blow directly, but it didn’t matter.
Now, I actually felt it.
I am the one who killed Darius.
Killing Auber that tried to protect him, while crushing Darius’s eye, rendering him defenseless.
It was not possible to feel it until now, but this time I felt it.
I do not know what is the difference.
Will it be a problem of distance.
I don't know.
"Huh ...... "
I think that it’s useless to mull over it.
Because this is a path I have chosen.
Then, going to the next room, my wounds were treated by using the King Class Healing Magic scroll that I got from Orsted.
As expected of King Class, even the severed foot was restored.
But, probably due to the thinning of my blood, my body is cold.
Next to me is Eris.
She is looking at my treatment with a blue face.
I pull her clothes off.
Such charming, well-trained ab muscles .......
"...... What? "
Her side’s wound had turned purplish.
Poison.
Auber’s dagger was coated in poison.
"...... "
I tried Elementary and Intermediate Detoxification.
Confirmed that they are not effective.
Cold sweat has run down at my back.
Suddenly, I remember Orsted’s words.
Auber only uses one type of poison and it is non-lethal.
In addition, he also has the antidote.
Go back to the next room as soon as the day after tomorrow to get the antidote from Auber’s corpse.
Eris drank it, and greased her abdomen.
As a precaution... I who received slashes also drank it.
It was dangerous.
If he had more powerful poison, Eris would probably already be dead.
I'm so glad, really.......
"You avoided his 『Oboro Cross』quite well......"
When treating Eris’s side, she said clearly.
I wonder if can be considered avoiding ...... .
Well, I suppose you can given that it is not a mortal wound.
"It's thanks to the mock battles with Eris. Having become accustomed to fast attacks, I was somehow able to evade it. "
"But even I’ve never evaded it ...... "
Saying so, Eris was giving a slightly lonely look.
Eris had been taught the way of sword by Auber.
Was she reminiscing?
"Oh well, that’s fine."
Eris shook her head quickly.
Her character is enviable.
Anyway.
Ghyslaine, Eris and I are safe.
Total victory.
"Then, let’s go back "
"Well."
"Ah."
We'll look at it as a triumph, I am allowed to feel triumphant.
Part 5[แก้ไข]
When we came back to the party venue, an unexpected sight befell my eyes.
".....Eh? "
Luke is pressing a dagger against Ariel’s neck.
Philemon is kneeling and Sylphy is sending a hateful gaze in Luke’s direction.
What kind of situation is this?
Luke glanced at me in confusion and opened his mouth.
Directing words not towards me, but towards Sylphy.
"If you want to help Ariel-sama, then kill Rudeus."
That question was directed towards Sylphy ――
