Having boarded the ship of the attacking
pirates, Mayuki, nervous that she might be troubling them, was cooking with
Sheila using the kitchen inside the pirate ship.
“Okay! It’s done!”
Mayuki was looking at the boiling
liquid inside a large pot, nodding in satisfaction. However, Sheila next to her
was somewhat…… no, her face was completely frozen.
“Th-That’s…… Mayuki-san?”
“Nn? Wha~t is it, Sheila?”
“...... a-about this dish…… what
is it?”
“Heh? It’s curry, you know?”
“...... eh?”
“After all, when I was still in
Japan, I saw on TV that the navy designated curry one day a week. It’s hard for
them to know what day it is because they are always over water. That’s why they
created a curry day so as not to lose sight of what day it is.”
“Eh, yes…… Sheila understands
that, but….”
Somehow, there was a curry
roux-like ingredient inside the kitchen, so the pirates might also eat it.
However, that didn’t matter. What Sheila currently worried about was that even
though it was curry………………………… only red can be seen inside the pot.
Occasionally, pop, the boiling bubbles burst, and it
made Sheila think she was watching magma.
(Sh-Sheila wonders if this is……
curry…… no matter how Sheila sees it, it is not something edible….)
She didn’t know whether she was
sweating because the kitchen was hot or because of the curry (temporary
designation) before her, but Sheila could feel that sweat was dripping from her
forehead.
“U~n, I thought of making it
redder to make it look more delicious~”
Mayuki began to talk as if
there’s nothing wrong. Although Sheila didn’t see the cooking process and couldn’t
know why it turned red, she can tell that there are definitely red pepper-like
things inside. That’s because her eyes had been stinging since a while ago.
She guessed that the steam contained the stimulant that stung her eyes
because of the too much added red pepper. It was a mystery as to why the
person who was right in front of the pot, Mayuki, didn’t feel any damage.
By the way, what Sheila made was
simple salad and fried fish. It wasn’t a problem to make seafood because they
were at sea. Inside the salad was delicious looking shellfish and fish meats
which intertwined with the vegetables.
Sheila was good at cooking, so
she was dumbfounded by the totally red and deadly smell before her.
At that moment, the pirates came
crowding inside the dining hall while saying, “We are hungry~.” Mayuki filled
the plates with her curry (temporary designation).
“............ Oy Mayuki, what is
this?”
After everyone entered the dining
hall and sat around the table, the head, Eula, had her cheeks cramp up when she
saw the plate before her.
“Nn? This? You didn’t know this?
This is curry!”
Since they boarded her ship,
Mayuki and Sheila found out that Eula was a good person because of their small
talk.
“N-No, I know what curry is…… eh?
This is curry?”
Not only Eula, everyone was
looking at the red liquid that seemed to be capable of burning holes.
“...... hey, somehow my eyes are
hurting.”
“Aa, even I can’t stop my tears.”
“I-I can’t see what’s in front of
me….”
Eula, Reiss, then Gazi, they
stated their impression in that order. Tears were flowing just like a waterfall
from Gazi’s eyes. The other pirates were also rubbing their eyes.
“Mou~ doesn’t it looks delicious
and stimulating? Come on, you’ll feel it once you eat it!”
Mayuki innocently recommended
them to eat. Everyone was gokuri,
gulping. They timidly took their spoons, and they quietly sunk the spoon into
the magma.
Only one person, only Sheila had
predicted what might happen after this as she joined her hands in prayer, but
no one noticed her.
The first of the victims was
Eula.
“Bogafuuh!?”
Her tail that grown from her hip
and her beast ears on her head were reflexively pin, straightened towards the sky. Sheila saw fire coming out of
Eula’s mouth.
“Ababababah!?”
“H-Hit hurt!? Hy houth hurttttts!?”
“WHaherrrrr!”
It was just like a portrait of
hell. Everyone’s lips were swollen to twice their sizes, there were some who
was crawling on the floor in search of water, there were those with the whites
of their eyes shown and foaming in their mouths, and there were those that were
convulsing with completely red faces.
The red magma mysteriously looked
like blood. It was a scene where those who didn’t know anything would misunderstand
it as a place of tragedy.
“Mh-Mhayukiiiiiiih! N-nywhat’ch
wich dis choo siicy obcect!?”
Eula, with her whole body dyed in
red, rose up and she approached Mayuki but,
“Eh~? Is it that spicy?”
Mayuki took her spoon then she
carried one spoonful curry (temporary designation) into her mouth. Sheila
thought Mayuki would notice her cooking’s destructive power and become more
prudent with it but,
“Mogu mogu…… un, I think it’ll be
better if it was a little more spicy, right?”
Sheila wasn’t the only one who
doubted their ears. Apparently Mayuki’s taste buds were already broken. When
they heard her words, everyone’s feelings became one.
“””” You IDIOTTTTTTTTTTTTT!””””
Needless to say, since then the
kitchen was off limit for Mayuki.
One day Yoyo Yatsugi Crowtail was
looking over the documents piled on her desk as she worked inside the study. A
knocking sound came from the door and she allowed the person to enter. As she
thought it was Souji. After all, only Souji would visit the room when she was
at work.
However she recalled that Souji
would without fail greet her, and when she raised her face she noticed that it
was not him.
The one standing there was
someone she has never seen before. She was a woman with an abnormal, doll-like
expression. Light blue short hair and almond eyes gave off a cold impression.
But what’s more noticeable was that she wore maid clothing.
“Who are you?”
Yoyo tried to calmly ask her.
Naturally she wasn’t an invited guest or someone from this mansion. Furthermore
no atmosphere could be felt from her.
The question as to why no one
noticed her coming here resounded in Yoyo’s mind. There should be maids who
were working in the garden, and there’s also Souji inside this mansion. No
matter how excellent one is in stealth, no one should have been able to come
here at this time or at least not without anyone noticing….
Even so, Yoyo kept sitting in the
chair without showing any sign of being shaken by it. However she was
desperately thinking of a plan inside her head. Then from behind that woman,
“Fufufu, as expected of Yoyo
Yatsugi Crowtail.”
A girl with silver blonde hair
appeared. It could be seen that she was younger than Yoyo. To put it bluntly,
she was a child. Though she might be older than Ninthe, there’s not much
difference between them. However, a strong mind can be felt from her eyes and
her confident appearance.
Because the light blue haired
woman was tall and the girl beside her was small, they looked very unbalanced.
But the two were definitely a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl.
Since the beautiful girl took the
initiative, Yoyo judged that perhaps the beautiful woman was her maid.
“It looks like you don’t show any
fear in your expressions in the face of strangers who suddenly appear.”
“Answer me. What are you?”
“Fufufu, please relax. I’ll
surely introduce myself…… after you are captured.”
At the moment the girl said that she
narrowed her eyes, and the woman beside her moved towards Yoyo at a tremendous
speed.
Though Yoyo stood up to try to
counter attack, her arms were instantaneously twisted behind her. She then felt
something cold placed around her wrists.
“Kuh… a Magic Sealing Lock... kh!?”
It was a handcuff with the
additional effect of literally sealing one’s magic. Moreover, the maid-like
woman’s movement was much more refined than a mere maid. It was the movement of
someone who received advanced combat training.
(... no, this is…!?)
When she was caught, she noticed something.
“Fufufu, your expression finally
changed.”
The girl smiled happily. When
Yoyo tried to shout, her mouth was covered as if they had predicted what she’d
do.
“Looks like the capturing is
complete. Well then, I’ll introduce myself as promised. My name is Femme D. Dresoj!”
When she saw the girl giggling with
her hand before her mouth,
(Dresoj? Certainly there is such
name related to the Ozwine Province in the South continent….)
Yoyo surmised the other person’s
identity with the vast knowledge stored in her mind.
(Holy Kingdom Lavahha should be
in Ozwine Province. Among the royalty and nobles, there is a Dresoj….)
As she arranged the information
in her head, she looked up at Femme who drew closer with each passing step.
Femme looked down at her in amusement.
“Because you’re knowledgeable,
about me, you should’ve noticed it, right?”
“............”
“Well, my identity doesn’t
matter. Let’s go, Testa.”
When the woman called Testa
touched Femme’s outstretched hand, Femme’s body gradually turned transparent.
(...... magic!? Moreover, invisibility?
I see. That’s how they got inside….)
Though she seemed to understand
on how these women entered the mansion, she couldn’t do anything in her current
state with her magic sealed and her body restrained. Yoyo’s body also became
transparent.
(............ Souji….)
The three suddenly disappeared
from the study.
