Miss Most Perfect Beauty
Poison Making
“Master, it turns out you are here,”
A handsome man with a flat face and a cold expression entered the room and immediately greeted Carlen.
“Oh Max, you've come apparently,”
“So he led this shadow army? Hmm okay it seems she is reliable,” Inner Scarlesia observes Max from top to bottom.
“But sir, why did you come here without informing me first?” ask Max.
“My sister wants to meet you guys. He said there was something he wanted to talk about,”
All eyes were on Scarlesia who was sipping tea served to her. Scarlesia who was aware of their gazes paused for a moment her activity and focused first on her true goal.
“Who makes this tea?” ask Scarlesia.
“I-it's my Miss,” replied one of the short red-haired girls.
“What's your name?”
“My name is Grace, is there something wrong with the tea Miss? Do I need to make a new one?”
Grace looks panicked because Scarlesia asks her about the tea, she is afraid that the tea she makes does not suit Scarlesia's taste.
“Not so, I mean this tea is very tasty. Can you teach me how to make it?”
Scarlesia praised Grace's tea which she thought was delicious, hearing the praise from Scarlesia Grace's face blushed for a moment.
“S-s-I'll teach you a-you later,” nervous Grace.
Scarlesia chuckled at Grace who was ashamed of being praised by her, Carlen suddenly nudged Scarlesia's arm.
“Psstt quickly start, say what you want to say. Talk later about the tea,” whispered Carlen.
“Oh yes right. Almost forgot my real purpose,”
Scarlesia immediately fixed her facial expression, now she looked more serious than before. Everyone who was there was getting tense, they did not know what Scarlesia was going to say to them.
“I'm here to ask you for help,” said Scarlesia.
“What can we help Miss?” ask Max.
“You all come from poisonous clans, that means you are experts in making and using poison right?”
They were jolted when they found out that Scarlesia knew their area came from because the poisonous clan had long since been destroyed and it was considered that the clan had already disappeared - not even a single person knew of their existence except Carlen, who was the only one who knew of them, Aldert, and Eldrick.
“How did you know Miss?”
“I have many eyes and ears. I know each of your weapons uses a poison made from red pythons that you mix with the sap of the genaru tree. Then in the bag you carry it is an illusory poison strong enough to trick your enemies,” terka Scarlesia.
All of Scarlesia's guesses were correct, they were even more surprised that Scarlesia knew about it in detail.
“Actually you want us to do what?” ask Max to make sure.
They were still confused, Scarlesia did not explain in actual detail what it was for to make poison in large quantities.
“Sorry Miss, what exactly are you going to do with those poisons?” ask Felix to interrupt.
“In a period of 1.5 months there will be a wave of monsters. The Roosevelt Empire and other empires would prepare for the war. I need poison to be poured into the weapons of all those who fight in order to make it easier for them to kill these monsters,” Scarlesia explained.
“But where did you know there would be a war between monsters and humans? Don't tell me you can see the future?”
Scarlesia responded to his question with just a wide smile.
“EEhh? EHHHHH?!!”
They were surprised that even a flat-faced Max could make a surprised expression on his face.
“That's why I asked you guys for help. I can't make the poison alone because the amount I need is quite a lot. I want to make a poison that can destroy the monster's hard body and make it die in one sword slash or one arrow pull,” Scarlesia said.
“But the monster's body is not hard Miss,” refuted Felix.
“The previous thing I saw was not hard but in the future I saw the body feel very hard and not strong against sharp objects. That's why I saw the battlefield turn into a bloody sea, for that I want to overcome it so as not to happen. I want to change that future, so please help me,”
Scarlesia begged terribly, her future too frightening for her. Seeing the blood splattered all over this imperial place, the countless corpses, as well as the cries of the one who asked for help. His feelings were torn apart when he saw such a bleak future, which is why he did not want it to happen in the shadow of his future and he wanted to change it immediately.
“Good. Miss just tell us what are the ingredients to make the poison you need,” replied Max agreed to help Scarlesia.
Scarlesia's face turned carefree.
“I will write down the ingredients. Please give me a pen and paper,”
Scarlesia wrote down several materials on the paper, ranging from the roots of a 1000-year-old tree, the stems and flowers of violets, and the blood of griffins.
“Are you sure you can make poison from all these ingredients Miss?”
“Of course. I told you that I would make a destructive poison and that was the necessary ingredient. You guys just look for the ingredients first and I'll tell you how to make it,”
They instantly moved to search for all the materials ordered by Scarlesia. None of them remained silent, their movements were as swift as a shadow. It is suitable for those who are called shadow troops.
“They're good subordinates, it's a good thing they met with big brother. I am relieved to know what kind of people they are,” Scarlesia said.
“Klan they were destroyed by a black demon. I accidentally met them at that time so I brought them here and hired him as a shadow troop,” Carlen said.
“But I think the most instrumental to their progress is brother because brother is a good leader for them,” flattered Scarlesia while smiling to face Carlen.
Carlen was embarrassed to be praised by his own sister, he cleared his throat while turning his shy face away from Scarlesia.
“It turns out my sister can also make such an embarrassed expression,” thought Scarlesia chuckled.
By the next day, all the ingredients had accumulated and Scarlesia immediately began to make poison from the ingredients. They made their poison in the shadow army headquarters, they were too eager to make the poison including Scarlesia herself. It would take them nearly 1 hour to complete their experimental poison.
“Finally done!”
