The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me - Chapter 60

“The maid must have spilled water by mistake.”

Adrisha added from the side.

Dalia thought while quietly looking at the letter.

‘……Somehow, it sounds like you’re on your way, but it’s probably an illusion, right?’

Ey, I don’t think so.

Dalia shook her head and shook off her thoughts.

‘What is the gift?’

Since she received something useful last time, she was looking forward to this gift as well.

‘If it’s a piece of quartz again, it could really be used for self-defense this time.’

Dalia shook the envelope to see what the gift was. A small crimson bead settled on the soft blanket.

It was a bead this time instead of a quartz piece.

While Dalia was staring blankly because she couldn’t understand the situation, Adrisha, who was next to her, was more surprised and started to speak.

“Wow, it’s a magic orb. It’s my first time seeing it in person.”

It was only then that Dalia could recall the identity of the item.

‘Magic orb.’

Dalia blankly stared at the bead.

Occasionally, she heard that high-ranking wizards can condense magic and put it into beads so that ordinary people can use it.

It is much more stable and has a stronger condensation. However, it was a tool that was several dozen times more expensive than quartz pieces, took a long time to condense, and it was disposable, so it was not used much.

In the first place, the number of wizards who used high-ranking magic was extremely limited to the point where they had to abandon the quartz pieces and choose beads.

Seeing Adrisha surprised like that, the magic orb was a special item even for her, who is accustomed to the world of magic.

No, is it because she knows it’s true value?

The color of the bead also changes according to the magical properties.

What kind of magic is that crimson color?

“……this is magic for killing.”

Adrisha quietly said next to her.

Her admiration disappeared and her complexion darkened.

“In addition, it is the finest product that can only be admired by the talent of the creator.”

Dalia turned to look at Adrisha in shock.

Her expression was serious. It means that it’s not a joke.

“……how, how powerful is it?”

“If this breaks, probably everyone around Dalia……”

She pretended to cut her own neck. Dalia covered her mouth with both her hands.

“Just in case, keep it with you. If something dangerous happens…… for emergency…….”

“Kill them all?”

Dalia spoke in vain.

Adrisha avoided her gaze. No matter how worried she was about Dalia, it seemed too extreme to tell her to kill all the people around her if she was in danger.

‘Sir Cedric…….’

It seemed that it would take a very long time for him to understand humanity.

“What did you write to Sir Cedric that he sent you this?”

Adrisha asked.

It wasn’t a reproach, it seemed like she was really curious.

Dalia hesitated for a moment and decided to tell her the truth. Since Meldon talked about Cedric, she asked Cedric because she was curious about their relationship.

As she said that, Adrisha’s expression changed. She smiled, putting the bead in Dalia’s hand.

“Then it turned out well. In times like these, this might be necessary.”

For some reason, it seems that both Adrisha and Cedric want her to use this to Meldon. Is she mistaken?

No, whoever it was, Dalia wanted to put off the killing unless it was a really, really unavoidable situation.

“It’s strange.”

“About what?”

“This powerful killing magic is usually hard for you to avoid. He still thinks of Dalia a lot, but I don’t think he would have just put this in.”

“I see……”

Still, Dalia was lost in thought with the mysterious bead in front of her.

Guessing the contents of the missing latter part of the postscript, it seems that there is some use here, but she can’t figure it out right now.

She was already feeling uneasy because of Aceras, but receiving an unknown gift made her feel more complicated for some reason.

‘Since he wrote in the letter telling me to be careful, I’m sure Sir Cedric knows.’

If a person like that even sends magic for killing, this situation……does that mean it’s going to get serious?

However, as she does not refuse anything, she changed the pendant to a larger one and placed both Meldon’s quartz piece and Cedric’s gift inside.

These are from two of the transcendents that are said to be only five in one generation.

In an instant, her anxiety went away and her heart felt reassured.

Of course, Cedric’s gift is too excessive……it was dangerous.

‘Come to think of it, there was also the powder from Meldon.’

Thinking about it, she pulled out the pocket that had been tucked into her bag.

It would be a fake anyway, and the person that she wanted to give the most was already not here. But since she has received it, she wanted to bake some cookies and put it in.

Meldon is a scammer, but he is not a murderer.

Even if it didn’t have any effect, he wouldn’t have sold poisoned powder to hundreds of people.

‘Of course, after this situation ends.’

Dalia roughly threw the powder on the desk.

Small Adrisha. She thought that Hikan would be very cute too. Since it’s impossible to tease Hikan, that’s a bit unfortunate.

Dalia turned to Adrisha.

“Shall we make cookies together?”

She’s going to put in the spicy powder that she told Adrisha to buy.

Adrisha brightly smiled and nodded without knowing Dalia’s wicked thoughts.

* * *

And two hours later.

Dalia walked around the middle of the basement kitchen, not knowing what to do, with a red face.

Even though she emptied one bottle of water, she was still out of her mind.

“S, spicy! It’s really spicy!”

After eating the cookies Adrisha gave her, she became like this.

Adrisha had secretly kept the spicy powder that Dalia had asked her to buy.

She said that she put only a little, but it seemed like a lie.

She has tried all kinds of cookies in her past and present life, but it was her first time eating spicy cookies.

Dalia’s cheeks were covered with tears.

After the spiciness gradually subsided, she could finally taste little by little.

‘……It’s quite addicting?’

The taste of the spicy stir-fried noodles that shocked Dalia in her previous life came to mind.

At first, she cursed at who was eating this, but soon after, she bought it in five bundles and stored it in the cupboard.

“Is it that spicy? I don’t know.”

Adrisha, on the contrary, asked while munching on the cookies that Dalia had carefully made.

Dalia’s cookies also contain the powder that Adrisha bought, so in the end, they both contain the same ingredients.

However, Adrisha was eating it too casually, so Dalia thought that she put too little of the powder, so she picked up one of her own cookies and ate it.

It was equally terribly spicy.

Originally, she said she eats well regardless of anything, but this was not the realm of a human being.

Dalia glanced at Adrisha and pushed the cookies she had made to her.

It was addicting, but she didn’t have the courage to eat more.

However, Adrisha could not finish it either. Dalia packed the leftover cookies to give to Hikan later.

She wanted to see Hikan’s pale white face turn red.

‘But it really changed my mood.’

At that moment, she heard a bell ringing from the first floor.

The maid, who was helping to bake cookies, asked as she rubbed her washed hands on her apron.

“May I go upstairs?”

She was the maid that has been with her since she first came to Vesta.

Originally, she had a very bright personality, but today she bowed her head half-way because she had something on her face.

Dalia gives her permission. The maid walked up the stairs from the basement kitchen.

Now there were only Dalia and Adrisha in the kitchen.

“Who is it?”

Dalia tilted her head and looked at Adrisha. She was staring at the stairs where the maid went up.

“Huh? What’s the matter?”

“That’s……”

Boom!

Boom Boom!

Adrisha’s words were cut off in the middle due to the strange sound.

“…… Huh?”

Dalia couldn’t believe the sight in front of her.

There was a sound like some cheap sound effect, and Adrisha’s body was surrounded by unknown fog.

After the fog was cleared……

Adrisha, who is now around six years old, opened her eyes at a much smaller eye level than Dalia.
