Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Sidi has a Rin look on his elf king. Though he has not changed his expression, it was well felt that he has the thought of a strange emotion… what the hell is going on?

"... was there something wrong with us?

Orto advances in a rushed manner. Siddie speaks in a calm voice, wondering if he had slowly shifted his gaze to him.

"It's a lot of trouble."

"What the hell happened to you? Shall I elaborate?"

When she held the plate placed in front of her, she offered it softly in front of Orto.

"... something?

Orto looks at Sidi with a kyotonic look on his face. But she raised her chin quickly as she shimmered her eyes.

"Please eat this. That way, I think you'll see."

"Huh?"

As if time had stopped, everyone on the spot is solidifying. I'll try to shift my gaze to the dish being served in front of me, but nothing suspicious. It smells sweet. No way, is there poison planting in this dish?

I pour a little sauce with my pinky finger and take it to my mouth. I have poison resistance, so that poison there doesn't work. A little licking would be fine. Rather, praise the elves if they are to be killed in this quantity. So, yuuka, if you don't drink, it's no problem, right?

My knowledge is that the poison in this world works the moment you drink it. This is something I can say from my experience eating plants native to the Renoir Forest with Eryl, and something I learned from May. In fact, she sometimes includes it in her mouth when she examines anything that could be poisonous. I was surprised when I first saw it, but May said it was very important. Neither I nor Eryl were impotent and ate quite a few poisons, but none of them had seizures or reactions the moment they were in my mouth. It's always the case that chills hit me the moment I chew and drink and react to my body, and Eryl always looked at how I would suffer.

"Oh, you're poisonous. It smells so good...... Then, Linos, try this too."

"Fuggo!? Woo...... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"... looks like this is poisonous too"

... That was totally abusive. Yeah, I don't see any other words to describe it.

With that in mind, I lick my finger sauce.

... delicious. What an intense flavor. Very sweet, but still not persistent. I wonder what the hell this is using. Sugar...... doesn't look like it. Is it boiling some sweet fruit to make the sauce?

I want to keep swallowing it, but let's just not do that. I take my handkerchief out of my nose and wipe my mouth.... All right, nothing unusual so far. Looks fine. So what about the pulp? Interested, I reach for the fork that was placed beside me.

"I won't eat any more! Hands on your knees!

Dossy Sidi's voice echoed like I'd never heard before. I shook my body vividly and accidentally placed my hands on my knees, stiff.

Sidi exhales furiously, offering the dish she is offering further toward Orto.

"Enjoy"

"And I understand. But you can't have the dish I gave you. Please wait. Retrieve it now..."

"Eat this."

"Shit... but..."

Orto is confused as he blacks and whites his eyes. But Sidi doesn't leave him stiff with a stare.

"... what happened?

King Elf is up and talking to Sidi. She tries to respond to the king by moving her eyes only, keeping her face to Orto.

"If Orto eats this, we'll know what we have."

"Ugh..."

"Come on, eat. No need to shy away from me. Or do you think there's something you can't eat?

"That is not the case. However, we Elves do not have the custom of eating dishes given to others. Needless to say, that's because you're being rude to that one. Tell me you're okay, but we're not. Elves and people...... Are you Dwarves? But customs and habits will be no different from people's. The two races think differently from each other, as do their habits. I know it's rude to say this, but this is inside the elves. In our midst, we would like you to imitate our customs and customs. I know you are a very wise man, and I know you don't understand my language, but forgive me for daring to say this. I know it can be a lot of things, but I want you to take my thoughts."

What a rap. Unexpectedly impresses me. It's as if the announcer reads the manuscript, a starchy, smooth mouthpiece.

Sidi stared at such an ortho, but eventually returned the dish she offered to her original position. And leaked a crusty and adorable grin.

"Again, it was Orto as I thought it would be. Thank you."

"Ha ha"

He bows his head in confusion, as if he can't figure out what Sidi's words mean. She looked at the situation satisfactorily, but eventually turned her gaze towards me and Meek and looked at Orto again, wondering if she had nodded small.

"Then, because of this, I will have this dish. But I don't think you'll be able to eat it, okay?

"... I don't know what your words mean. What can I say, we are absolutely confident in the dishes we serve. Unlike our people, we do not eat often, but nevertheless, our elves, with a long history, accumulate vast amounts of cooking methods for cooking. You will probably think that the flavor will diminish over time after serving this dish, but our dish..."

Suddenly, Orto gives me a surprised look. Then I moved both eyes to the left and right, and I started to get confused somehow. What the hell is wrong with it?

And then I looked at Siddie next door, and she was laughing lightly. He had a cold grin, as if he had seen everything through. My spine trembled at the look of it.

"What is it, Master Orto?

Gentle, she speaks in a voice as if to labor him. But he is squeezing his fists in both hands as if he had not heard the voice. With a cold grin at the look of it, Sidi took the fork that was beside her and carried the dish in front of her in her mouth with brilliant work.

"... Pep. Tasteless."

While wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, Sidi is staring at the dish she spit out. And turn your gaze to me and Meek again. Apparently I'm telling you to try it.

"Never, never drink"

Me and Meek got a bewildered look, but eventually we take the fork and carry the dreaded dish into our mouths.

... bitter. In the sweetness, unspeakable bitterness spreads in your mouth. This is a mess.

"... it tastes sweet at first, but the bitterness that comes later is indescribable"

Meek is also spitting out the dish as he shakes his head. Sidi looks at the situation with satisfaction. Orto, on the other hand, is staring at us with such a hateful look as he moves his eyes pimply.

"This is what drowning in a ruse is all about. Now I understand everything.... You're the one who killed Mr. Leila, aren't you, Mr. Orto?

The atmosphere of Orto in front of me has changed slightly......
