106 Episode 105 Mercia and Acting Skills (2/2)

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... That means the potion they gave you won't work on any of us.

”Okay, let's go get some food. Sleeping pills are slow-acting, so if you go to bed too early, people might get suspicious. After dinner, we'll have a chat and if anyone feels sleepy, we'll start sleeping.

”Got it!

”Understood.

After confirming everyone's replies, I stored the magic tools in the item box and headed for the dining room.

When I appraised the water and food that came out, I found that it did indeed contain the medicine that Lake had mentioned.

The other guests were in a similar situation, so there was no doubt that the medicine had been planted in the well.

We then pretended not to notice the medicine, ate our meals, and returned to our room as planned.

But while we were waiting for the attack, there was one problem.

”Hey. How long does it take for that potion to work?

Two to five hours, depending on the formulation.

It's been almost five hours.

All three of us can't remember how long we've been asleep.

We're running out of things to do to pass the time.

However, we can't leave the room, because we'd be exposed as being in high spirits.

Maybe your medication was too weak. ......

It is possible that the magic of the potion was blown away by the magic of the ...... maple. It's a good idea to pretend to be asleep at this time of night. ...... Wait a minute. Do you hear something?

I listened carefully, and sure enough, I could hear what sounded like something walking.

”Footsteps. Ten of them.

And those footsteps are from a guy who knows some martial arts. I think they're attackers.

”......, hurry up and pretend to be asleep!　If they find out you're awake, they might call off the attack!

If they find out we're awake, they might call off the attack!

I'll pretend to be asleep.　I'll hurry up and pretend to be asleep!

We exchanged this conversation in a panic, then hurriedly lay down on the ground and started pretending to be asleep.

It's like students on a school trip who are afraid of the teacher's patrol.

”Soo, soo ......

And this is where Mercia's lack of acting ability is revealed. ”Soo, soo ......,” she said.

I thought Mercia was a relatively perfect human being, but I didn't realize she had a weakness in this area.

There are too many things wrong with her, but it's the assassin's fault for giving her a potion that doesn't work or has no effect. At the very least, it should have been written somewhere that the potion would take effect after a certain number of hours.

But fortunately, thanks to my low voice, the assassins didn't seem to notice me.

Suddenly, the door to my room was opened and about ten men with swords came in.

Good. It looks like the medicine is working.

But isn't the way you're sleeping unnatural?

...... Mercia's performance was immediately noticed.

You can see that the intruders' eyes are drawn to Mercia by the reaction of the tentacles.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The result is black. They're all bandits.

Because they were drugged to sleep. It's not like natural sleep, of course. ...... Now the credit goes to me. ......?

I guess I'll start with the easy ones. I kicked away the intruder who tried to attack Mercia.

Two of the guards also moved at the same time, and the intruder (probably the leader, judging from the way he spoke) was blown up by the simultaneous attacks of the three of them.

The intruder (probably the leader from the way he spoke) was blown up by the simultaneous attacks of the three men, but probably because he was careful not to kill them. The intruder quickly got up and gave instructions to the others.

It doesn't matter how strong they are, as long as we surround them!　I'm not sure what to do.　I'll take care of the weak ones on your side by myself!

I'll take on the weak ones on that side by myself!” We looked at each other when we heard that poor instruction.

”Hey, Matthias, they're taking advantage of you.

Lake, too. ...... Well, it's Kaede that's being taken advantage of the most.

Why don't we just capture him?

Will do.

--About ten seconds later.

About ten seconds later, all of the intruders were captured and piled up in a corner of the room.

Now it's interrogation time.

It's time to use Catherine's magic tools.
