291. The Last Supper
“Well, what do you think, chef? “I think Volance wine is better.”
Before we had a meal, what I saw when I arrived at the restaurant was Deia.
He must have been busy with a lot of work, but he didn’t bother to prepare dinner today and was helping the chefs and employees.
“Miss! The herbalist has dug up some wild greens! Also, the hunter I followed caught a few rabbits. Is there any use for these as well?”
Did they even bring together herbalists and hunters from North Weden?
Workers come inside with both hands full of ingredients.
“Chef! What do you think about the fresh ingredients we just brought? “Do you have somewhere to write?”
“I’ll take a look at the vegetables, but I think it would be good to use rabbit instead of meat in appetizers. “Because it’s fresh!”
“Okay. “Then let’s start with the rabbit, and I’ll roughly take care of the vegetables.”
I’m always busy, but I get along well with the chef.
Wouldn’t they treat VIP guests this passionately?
As Deia was picking out useful items from the vegetables and taking them to the kitchen, her eyes landed on me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to tell you something, but you came first.”
“Well, I’m helping. “I have a knack for gourmet food.”
“Is that so?”
“Bye.”
Deia sticks out her tongue proudly.
I thought I would put it in properly, but I felt like it was sticking out for about a minute.
“It is now.”
“I was being rude to you.”
“… ….”
“Tell Sebia to mess around. “Then you do it?”
I suddenly received unexpected information. She said something was wrong with a child who could only babble.
“Every time Sebia peed, Findeneye got upset. “She can’t have double lust, so she’s purified herself in some way.”
“That’s a very good lesson.”
After a brief chat.
Deia quietly asks.
“So what do you have to say? “Do you have anything to say to the chef?”
“Yes, there is a separate menu I would like you to add.”
“Hmm? Tell me “I’m in charge now anyway.”
It is quite a confident declaration, but there is something somewhat puzzling about Deia’s words.
“Why are you working here? “You must be busy with other things, right?”
“Uh, huh?”
Deia panics as if she has been stabbed in the core. Her hands wandered here and there with no place to go, and eventually.
“Ugh, did I do something bad for no reason?”
“Bad thing?”
“I mean Goben. I was suspicious, so I did some investigating. But he was a clean guy. Well, when I was living in a gang, I was also a common criminal, and even after becoming a coachman, I didn’t do anything particularly bad.”
“… ….”
I know.
He was a gentle man.
From Stella and I’s perspective, there wasn’t anything major wrong with her, and Finden Eye’s intuition was also negative.
But.
It’s different now.
“I feel a bit sorry, so I am intentionally involved in the diet. Goben said our meal was delicious and he ate it with his eyes wide open.”
Deia raises her thumb and winks, afraid that I might say something.
“So, as an apology, let’s have a delicious meal…” … !”
“I knew.”
It seems like Deia was trying to hide it, but she was expecting it. There’s no way she wouldn’t do her background.
She said, “I thought she would at least do a background check.”
“Do you know that it feels just as bad? She seems to have become a sullen woman. For Iluania and Seville…… !”
He came close to me, grabbed Deia’s shoulder as she was about to speak passionately, and pushed her back to keep her distance.
She was excited and had no intention of reprimanding her and asking her why she did such a thing.
Rather.
“Well done.”
“Huh?”
She suddenly looked up at me with her mouth open, asking what she was talking about, and I continued talking.
“Continue further investigation. Not Goben, but the guy who gave Goben this Clark Republic request, and go up to the business partner. “Reveal your roots.”
“…… Why?”
Deia asked with an expression that said she couldn’t understand. It was good for her to believe in what she had researched, but right now her trust was holding her back.
In the end, information is updated and changes in real time. When Deia and Findenai investigated, there were no major problems with Goben.
“It will be different now. There is a need to dig deep. And please do it as quickly as possible.”
“… ….”
Daya realized that her problem was serious. Even though she nodded her head without saying anything, she asked with a hopeful heart.
“Can I leave Iluania and Seville to Goben?”
I feel like I can hear Deia’s pounding heart all the way up here. She must have hoped that the answer she wanted would come out of her mouth.
“Before going to the Republic.”
But.
“Not now.”
* * *
“You, too! “It’s so delicious!”
Goben, who ate the main dish of the course meal, exclaimed that he was impressed.
Iluania, who would have normally noticed him, was also looking at her finished plate with startled eyes.
“hehehehe.”
Deia is just shrugging for no reason.
It may have been because she meddled, but today’s meal was not that good compared to the food served in the royal family.
It was an award filled with an atmosphere that can only be felt in the northern part of North Sweden.
“It was really delicious! “I never knew eating could be so happy!”
Darius smiles and nods at Goben, who is making a fuss.
“Okay, I hope it’s delicious. “It is a repayment for Iluania, who devoted herself to us.”
“Well, that much…” ….”
Iluania didn’t know what to do. In fact, she was the employee with the shortest tenure.
She was just a special woman to me, so she gave me this special treatment.
Wow!
Is it because the atmosphere is good?
Sevilla also voices that he feels good. It further heightens the heated atmosphere.
“I will do my best to Illuania and Seville. You will be recognized by the Chamber of Commerce for this transaction! My position will also be stable! “You can even rewrite the contract entirely!”
Darius just smiled at the detailed explanation asking me to believe him.
Goben declared, looking at me with his hand on his thigh.
“Since the Monumental Master will protect you, I will definitely make you two happy. “I will live my life in love!”
“…… “There is one last dessert left.”
I didn’t answer and just turned around.
Just then, the chef brings a plate filled with dessert.
A small plate that can be held with one hand.
What was there was a piece of cake.
A dessert covered with a translucent cover is placed in the center of the table.
“Hmm? “Is this all?”
The chef bowed his head and answered Darius’ question, not knowing what the situation was.
“Yes, this is the dessert that the second master specifically requested.”
“Deius?”
Darius glances at me.
But my eyes were focused on Goben.
And Goben.
“Huh?”
I was embarrassed.
As I looked at the golden flowers placed on top of the cake for decoration, my eyes were shaking violently.
“Goben.”
When my voice filled with coldness rang out, the heated atmosphere just now calmed down.
“You know what that flower is, right?”
“Oh, no, Monumental Master. “That’s it!”
“This is what my maid brought from your carriage. “Don’t say you don’t know.”
Finden Ai, who was guarding her position behind her, quietly walked in front of her.
The sight of her crossing her arms and snorting was laughing at Goben.
“Are there a lot of flowers and seeds that appear to be samples? “Do you raise hamsters?”
“Well, that’s not it! Please listen to me just once! “I have my reasons too!”
Goben stood up in a hurry and shouted, breaking into a cold sweat.
“It was for the family! “It was also an offer that helped me, a low-ranking person, rise to the top right away!”
“Goben.”
I exhaled and warned quietly.
“Don’t say things like this for the sake of the two of you in front of me.”
“Ah… ….”

Darius and Deia, who did not understand the situation properly, said they wanted an explanation from me.
I pointed to the flower and said.
“The Clark Republic. “It is the raw material for the most vicious drug made by Flower Garden, a company that specializes in drug manufacturing.”
“Drugs?”
“… ….”
Darius frowns and looks at the flower, and Deia crosses his arms asking him to continue the explanation.
The pleasant dining experience has already disappeared. This was the place where criminals were interrogated.
“Not only is it incredibly addictive just by inhaling it once. Symptoms such as hallucinations and auditory hallucinations are basic, and they completely destroy the personality itself, turning a person into a vegetative state.”
“Now, wait! I didn’t even know that! “I thought it was just an ordinary drug on the market!”
Iluania’s expression suddenly darkens at those words.
“Well, so…” … “So you were looking for Colton’s gang?”
“Iluania! It was for you! So that you and Sebia can live a better life! “So that you can live happily as promised to the memorial master!”
Goben shouts urgently.
But Iluania was in tears.
Now she knows.
Families that were built are being destroyed.
The days that I thought would lead to happiness were falling apart.
“If that seed spreads throughout the kingdom, it will not be at the level of a crisis. “The roots of the nation may be shaken.”
That is why even in the Clark Republic, where drugs can be obtained at pharmacies, golden flowers were not released carelessly.
“I trusted you, Goben.”
A word that is heavy and sinks down.
Goben’s expression turned white and he ran straight in front of me, got down on his knees and bowed his head.
“Commonwealth Master! Yes, I have committed a mortal sin! But! But please just trust my sincerity! It was for the family! “I did it because I loved you.”
The fist is clenched.
Hands shaking.
Teeth clenched so hard that my jaw hurts.
I became more angry.
What he is shouting now.
Declaring my love for Illuania.
Because it was sincere.
“Rather.”
I really would rather.
“I shouldn’t have loved you.”
I shouldn’t have given such hope.
“Looking at the amount of sheep you brought, I guess Griffin probably has a separate sales book.”
“Well, that’s…” … !”
It has been a long time since I felt this much anger. A similar feeling as when facing the great warrior of the Marias Forest who kidnapped Iluania.
“From now on, don’t listen to anything I say.”
My head was hot with anger, and my vision was dizzy as if I was shaking.
“The one who made the seed and made the flower bloom.”
The legs were firmly fixed, and the lips spilled the prophecy of death.
“The one who sold them all to you. “The one who helped load the carriage and tempted you with his wicked tongue.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
It went well.
“A distribution company to receive and distribute the seeds, a broker to contact them, a buyer to purchase them, a person to raise them, and also the land.”
The more witnesses there are, the more heavily my declaration lands on this earth.
“Someone drew this kind of mediocre picture.”
The size was not normal size. It can be said that it was only a sheep carried in one wagon, but the important thing was that it was a seed.
Thousands and tens of thousands of seeds were almost spread to Griffin.
I don’t know about Goben, but there must be a reason why a gang member of a ‘former drug dealer’ was driving the carriage heading to the Clark Republic.
“As a huge graveyard carrying the soul of the continent.”
My everything.
“As a memorial service to comfort the messengers of the kingdom.”
I bet with all my heart.
“As another Deius Verdi.”
I swear.
“All of them will take responsibility for today. Even death will not be a refuge.”
“Woah, Monumental Master! Please! Jebaaal!”
Goben grabbed my pants and begged with tears in his eyes. Findeneye tried to drop it immediately, but he motioned to stop it.
“As the head of the household! I wanted to make you happy! Truly! I truly just wanted to be a proud husband and father to these two! As for me, I’m a bad guy so this is the only way I knew! Please! Please!”
Goben’s sobbing words continue to stab into his heart like a dagger.
Because I am sincere.
Because my heart was sincere.
His plea made me suffer.
Before leaving for the Clark Republic, the bright smile of a man appeared.
Just one week.
A week that changed everyone’s future.
“Did you enjoy the Last Supper?”
I’m sorry.
“Everything you ate, Iluania, Seville, and mine…” ….”
It was blood and flesh.
I bit my lip and turned around. Because of the sudden movement, Goben’s hand, which had lost touch with the hem of his pants, is shaking.
Without even seeing him lying face down.
“He is a smuggler.”
I declared, swallowing bitterness.
“Arrest.”
