Make It
It’s possible to neutralise toxins with magic. For example, if one makes use of Healing Magic, they’re able to cure it using its healing power. Its uses are also limited, like applying it to a bow, a sword, or mixing it into food. Its effective range is also not as broad in comparison to magic.
Toxins are inferior to magic in every aspect. Hence, the substance known as toxins weren’t really developed.
Things that are unnecessary become obsolete, and on the other hand, magic evolves to be more advanced, more sophisticated. The only ones who continue their research are people with strange tastes like Asch.
However, this person with strange tastes was, unfortunately, a genius. He understands the characteristic of the existence known as toxins, combines it with Magic Power, and turns it into something with both a new and broader range of uses.
“……there’s the need to use it more discreetly”
In a way that it infiltrates into their body without them noticing. In a way that it doesn’t leave even the tiniest bit of abnormality; until the toxins make their way around the body. In a way that it’s effective enough to rob the body of all of its freedom as soon as it’s discovered.
10 hours had gone by when he realises.
Asch doesn’t die even if he doesn’t eat food. He simply enjoys meals as one of his entertainment.
He took a deep breath, left the laboratory, and went up the spiral stairs. Immediately after, a flora fragrance wafts in the air.
“Hmm……it’s pleasant huh”
He feels relaxed while walking. ‘Even an incompetent butler has at least one good point huh’, he very slightly reevaluated her. Apparently, their fragrance sense was the same.
Bata bata bata――――uu!
At that moment, a large number of books and Mira fell from the bookshelf on the inside.
“……what are you doing?”
“Owwww. Sor, sorry, I slightly lost my balan……aaaah―――! Did you finally come out!? I am already extremely hungry, you know”
“……why am I under fire, for you being hungry?”
“I mean, you won’t come out at all no matter how much I called after all”
“That’s quite the contrary. It’s because I don’t want you to call me, that I set it up so that no matter how much noise you make, I won’t be able to hear it”
“Gugugu……you bully!”
“……”
Asch hadn’t the slightest clue on how in the world that word came about, but he felt that it doesn’t matter even if he doesn’t understand anymore and arrived at the dining table.
“Please wait for a bit. I will prepare”
Her hurried, noisy, and busy movements, were basically that of a child. It conveys to him that she’s doing her best, but it’s because she can’t do it even when she’s giving her all that makes it all the more distasteful.
“Good grief……how inelegant……ah, don’t you put carrots inー!”
Like he suddenly remembered it, the fussy-eater Magician, shouts to the kitchen.
“Today is fiーne! It is only in the appetiーser”
“……haa”
A heavy sigh like never before leaked out.
20 minutes later, dishes were lined up before Asch, and even more dishes were lined up before Mira.
“Uwwaー, how delicious I’ve made them huh. I’m digging iーn”
“It’s whatever but……don’t you normally confirm with your master?”
“Why? Don’t family eat together? Even though that’s why, I, had been waiting”
“……I think there’s a need for discussion on the issue,『whether a master and a butler’s relationship is family』though. Well, whatever. I’m digging in”
While avoiding the appetiser’s carrots, the word『family』popped into Asch’s head over and over again.
