My Little Sister Cute Outside, But Yandere Inside!
Chapter 59 - A Growing Threat
“Your sister?” ask Mercedes.
Hearing my question, Mercedes looked terrified. His body curled up on the sidelines of the sofa and buried his face.
I immediately approached the Mercedes and sat down beside it.
The fact that Mercedes has an older brother is new to me.
“What's wrong, Mercedes?”
Yeah, I know this is the wrong question. If Mercedes alone is scared means her “Kakak” this is an abnormal creature.
Fortunately, my experience with Chiyuki slightly created the logic wall of my brain. So that the little surprise that might happen did not surprise me too much.
“My sister.”
“She is a crazy Elf type who deliberately poisoned the spring water source of the Elf village to test the antidote effect of the poison she found.”
Hmm. This sounds normal to me.
There is no harm in testing poison antidotes by sensing the poison. The sensation of recovery and pain flowing in the bloodstream of blood vessels is very valuable data. Just like testing a vaccine with a developing virus, there is no harm in it.
“My sister was...”
“He is very sure if his poison antidote will work well.”
“For that. he sneakily sold one bottle of poison antidote with the rare raw material of Elf village. After her foul scheme was uncovered, she went missing.”.
I don't know if that Scammers Elf is so scary.
A big question came to my mind.
What made this crazy Elf to be in Flora Kingdom?
What makes these crazy elves settle there?
“Mercedes, are you very sure if she's your sister?” ask me to make sure.
“I'm not sure but the moves reflect my sister.”
“Eh?”
“Master Karl, my brother was so obsessed with rudimentary knowledge. Lately, he developed a magic activation to control the corpses. The Kingdom of Flora may be heaven for him, given the many corpses scattered there and the strange policy applied.”.
“Weird policy?”
“Controlling corpses?”
“Even in the middle of a kidnapping mission. ah. I mean a death prisoner pickup mission we passed through a magic circle that is still not perfect.”
For a moment, something was strange.
“Seeing the activating conditions alone, I could see it was magic summoning undead soldiers. However, the large number of them scared me. It was forbidden magic, but. if we talk about my brother. he does not care about the written rules and is dedicated to perfecting that forbidden magic.”.
Hearing this talk, suddenly the hair on the nape of my neck stood up. A terrible threat will occur.
I can feel it!
“Mercedes.. how is our relationship with the Kingdom of Flora?”
“Normal.. I guess?”
“Well, what if.. some nobles of the Kingdom of Flora have a small grudge against us and then hire your brother to create an army from the dead and attack our territory?”
“Ahahaha! Karl Master. That's so funny, why would they do such a ridiculous thing?”
“This is just my rough estimate. But.. The Kingdom of Flora once attacked us with their main army but failed. But if the one who attacked us is the undead. How to beat it?”
“Ahhh~ undead. Their movements were slow but the resulting terror was able to make one kingdom panic. My brother couldn't possibly accept such a ridiculous job offer, except-”
“Except.. Flora Kingdom has the raw materials and resources needed to make it?”
“That's right, Master Karl!”
“Yeah, new news for you, Mercedes. They already have the raw material, I guess.”.
“Eh?” Mercedes surprised.
“We have been keeping an eye on the trade routes of the Kingdom of Flora just in case, the reports coming in lately are they're making massive purchases from seven different kingdoms with material that you might be able to see from our intel.”
“A-I'll make sure of it, Master Karl!”
Mercedes left me.
In the end..
The decision to leave the Kingdom of Flora to remain standing from defeat was a grave mistake.
