* * *

The place we went to for lunch was the restaurant that Rashia had told us about last time.

Although it was a place where the Jack family disguised themselves as a restaurant and exchanged information and missions, there were no complaints as the food was delicious.

“Please give me this and this and this. Oh, and this too. Also…”

Rashia naturally ordered food.

After ordering food, the table was filled with quiet silence.

Usually, the ones I would talk to were Rasia, who would talk to me, and Raon, who would interrupt her, but today, they were both quiet.

Rasia was secretly concerned about Solar, and Raon had a deep thoughtful expression on his face when he heard that I was Rasia’s servant.

Since the two people were talking quietly, I was lost in thought wondering if I should say something, but fortunately, the food was prepared and brought out quickly.

“Please call if you need anything.”

The table was filled with food.

As the employee left, Rashia looked at me quietly.

It looked like he was waiting for me to take care of it.

I skillfully distributed the food. In that order, Rashia, Remi, and Raon.

Then, as I was about to take care of Solar, I stopped for a moment.

Now that I think about it, Solar… I was racking my brain.

Unlike Remy and Raon, who were not particularly picky eaters, there was one food that Solar could not eat.

That’s right, carrots.

Whether on purpose or unknowingly, this time Russia ordered a soup with carrots.

He said that he is not a picky eater, but rather has a carrot allergy, so he gets hives if he eats even a little bit of food containing carrots.

I can’t feed this.

While I was thinking about it, I served soup to everyone else except Sola and then called the waiter.

“Yes. Did you call?”

“I’d like another soup without the carrots.”

“Yes, I understand.”

When I ordered soup separately, Rashia asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“Huh? Jodell, you must be really hungry?”

“No, that’s not it.”

I shook my head and glanced at Solar.

As expected, Rasia nodded while looking back and forth between Sola and me.

“Then…. Ah….. So you knew that too?”

Russia knew that too.

But he ordered carrot soup on purpose. He must be born with the talent for teasing his younger siblings.

I don’t know what was going on in Sola’s mind while I was talking to Rasia, but she just kept staring at me with a blank look in her eyes.

I regretted it for a moment because of that persistent gaze, but since it was obvious that Solar would have eaten it all and suffered later, I didn’t want to pretend not to know.

“Jodel too, I ordered carrot soup for Sola on purpose… But an allergy to a family of assassins… What’s that? Isn’t that right, Sola? An allergy is something that gets better the more you eat it. Your body gradually adapts and accepts it. What’s the big deal about that? ”

…..Lacia, don’t be a picky eater.

He is cold only to Solar, and doesn’t make her do anything he doesn’t like.

Solar didn’t even pretend to listen, as if she was used to Rashia’s cruel words.

Now that I think about it, there was something like that in one of Solar’s old stories that passed by.

A picture of Rascia as a child, feeding carrots to Sola even though Sola was crying and begging her to stop.

This was literally just a fragmentary part.

Remy was born after Rasia had matured a bit, so it’s not like this, but Sola was treated terribly by Rasia when she was young, who was literally no different from a little devil.

There were many more besides these.

The problem is that the Duke not only watched all this unfold, but actually encouraged it.

I also understand why Solar seeks revenge on her family.

The atmosphere became even more tense after Rashia’s words.

Raon looked at Rasia as if he was dumbfounded, but Rasia only looked at me and smiled brightly.

As if no one else cared.

It feels like it’s going to be a hit.

I picked up the spoon and forced myself to take a bite of rice.

Then, soon after, others began to eat as well.

“Jodel, try this too. It’s so delicious?”

“Oh, this too…. Yeah, it’s delicious.”

“This fish was caught today too. Isn’t it delicious?”

Rashia talked to me and took care of me the whole time we were eating.

It was the exact opposite of what he did to Solar.

Remy also took care of me by secretly transferring the side dishes to my plate.

Solar just ate in silence, looking at her sisters who were taking care of her in turns as if it was a new experience.

“Okay, Raon, this is yours.”

“….Are you taking care of me too?”

“Of course. It tastes better with seasoning.”

……Ah, Russia.

“…No. Don’t eat it.”

I quickly snatched the bowl that Rashia was handing to Raon.

Where did you get the poison from!

I saw it clearly.

The sight of Rasia quickly pouring poison into Raon’s bowl….

If Raon dies from drinking the poison given to him by Rasia, the original work will not just be distorted like before, but destroyed.

The original work doesn’t have a main character….

There was no way the story would progress further.

“Huh? Why?”

“….I’ve been poisoned. Never eat anything Russian or anything that people here give you. Only eat what I give you. Got it? ”

“This is too much. Raon~”

“Why me!”

“……”

Rashia, Remi, and Solar responded to my words in that order.

Remy and Solar had resentful looks on their faces.

Right now, they aren’t obsessed with Raon yet, but later on, they too will change, so it was necessary to be careful with Raon.

Of course, there are a lot of episodes that have changed and disappeared, so I don’t know how things will progress in the future, but it can’t hurt to be careful.

The meal that seemed so daunting has finally ended.

“I have to go to Professor Luken. Let’s part ways here.”

I got lucky first.

He told me to come today because he had something important to do.

“…Then I should go to a cafe and have some tea.”

When Raon said that I was going, he shrugged his shoulders and said that he would see me later before leaving first.

“Professor Luken keeps calling you, Raon~? You’re interfering with my time with Raon… Should I kill Professor Luken?”

“….No, it’s okay.”

“Just kidding. Just kidding. I have plans too~ Bye~”

I shook my head at Russia’s terrible joke.

Fortunately, Rashia waved her hand as if she was really joking and walked back towards the restaurant she had just left.

Heading to the restaurant means the next thing on the agenda is an assassination mission.

As Rashia left, Remy also left, saying he had something to do soon.

Now all that was left was Solar.

Well, I’m sure Solar will take care of it.

I left Solar behind and started walking back to the academy where Professor Luken was.

At that moment, I heard footsteps following me.

If you take one step, it’s the same one step, if you walk quickly, it’s the same fast…

Even though I stopped and told him to go first, he had no intention of going.

‘…..Why on earth are you doing that?’

I turned around and looked at Solar chasing after me.

Solar was tilting her head while looking at me with eyes that were so hazy that they were almost blank.

I was dumbfounded by that confident gaze as if asking why I wasn’t going.

“….How far are you planning on following me?”

“….where you going?”

“No. You go do something. I’m busy.”

“…..um, I don’t like that….”

I ignored Solar and started walking again.

As expected, Solar followed.

Yeah. I lost. I lost.

Finally, I took a deep breath and looked at Solar.

“…Do you have something you want to say to me?”

“Yeah.”

Solar answered as if she had been waiting.

If you had something to say, you should have said it sooner instead of just chasing me.

“…..What is it? Tell me quickly.”

“It’s a bit awkward to say it here…. Ah, that would be nice.”

After saying that, Solar started walking ahead.

I followed Solar, half curious as to what she was trying to tell me, and half wishing she would stop following me.

And where Solar brought me was…

It was deep inside an alley that didn’t feel popular at all.

I was dumbfounded by Solar bringing me to a place so gloomy that it looked pitch black even though it was daytime.

It was a space where anyone who looked at it felt like they were going to do something to me.

Solar, who brought me here, raised the corners of her lips as she looked at me.

The eyes I saw earlier were not smiling, but only the mouth was smiling, a strange and bizarre smile.

“Okay, now I have something to say. You have to listen to everything I say without missing a single word, right?”

As she spoke, Solar grabbed my shoulders with both hands and looked me in the eye.

….There’s no way I didn’t know this pose.

It came from a webtoon.

It was obvious that Solar’s position was the perfect position for hypnosis… that she would take this position on me.

It seemed that Solar had decided to hypnotize me instead of Raon.

…..but why on earth?

I looked at Solar with eyes that couldn’t understand.

Why are you hypnotizing me? You and I have only met twice so far.

Is it because Rashia and Remi are interested in me?

“……Now, you need to focus on my voice. You will feel more and more at ease.”

As Solar began to hypnotize me in earnest, I barely managed to suppress my heaving sigh and became lost in thought.

‘What should I do with this?’
