"What's going on?"
Rachins and Hambali, who were outside, heard a strange noise from inside and rushed in to check. They saw Gaston already sound asleep, happily dreaming.
"He was too tired just now, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down. Take him to rest over there."
Satou Kazuma said to explain.
Rom's face was full of shock as he looked at Satou Kazuma. There was no change in the other's expression.
This guy's mental strength seems a little too strong. He's telling such an outrageous lie without batting an eye.
Rachins and Hambali's faces were full of confusion.
Just a minute ago, Gaston was still talking to them, right?
But they looked at Gaston's calm breathing and peaceful appearance now. He really was asleep, so they could only follow Satou Kazuma's orders and drag him aside to rest.
And Satou Kazuma muttered to himself:
"The dose of anesthesia still can't be too much, or it'll look too suspicious."
.....
More than ten minutes later, the crisp sound of familiar high heels on the ground rang out at the door.
Elsa had arrived.
"Oh, who are these two?"
Elsa narrowed her eyes slightly. She noticed Satou Kazuma and Aqua in the room.
She hadn't seen these two when she came to find Felt and Rom before.
A killer's instinct made Elsa pay extra attention to these two.
"These two are our employees. After all, our line of work needs manpower."
Rom said to Elsa with a smile on his face.
The person in front of him looked like just a weak, ordinary girl, not some elite killer.
But Rom was also very clear that you can't judge a book by its cover.
Elsa looked at Satou Kazuma and Aqua.
The man didn't show any signs of training, so he should just be an ordinary person. And the way he looked at her seemed a bit creepy.
As for the woman, she just looked plain stupid.
It seemed that these two weren't worth paying too much attention to.
But...
It wouldn't be bad to have two more people to cut open, would it?
Elsa showed a meaningful smile, then quickly moved her gaze back to Rom:
"What about what I asked for?"
"Got it a while ago!"
Felt said, placing the bag containing the badge in front of the table.
"Check it out!"
Elsa took the bag, took out the badge, and carefully examined it. There were no problems.
"Aqua, go pour the guest a drink!"
The plan was proceeding normally. Aqua followed the plan, walked over to the side, poured the milk that had been spiked into a cup, and handed it to Elsa.
Having Aqua deliver the milk was also part of Satou Kazuma's plan.
He was also worried that Elsa, as a killer, might have very sharp senses and would notice something was wrong.
Aqua's seemingly naive personality might lower Elsa's guard.
But Satou Kazuma couldn't guarantee that this plan would work. He could only watch Elsa from a distance.
Elsa took the cup and looked down at it. At this moment, Satou Kazuma's heart was in his throat, afraid that she would discover something was wrong with the milk.
But Elsa quickly raised the cup and drank from it.
Success!
Success!
Success!
Satou Kazuma couldn't help but want to smile, but for safety's sake, he could only bite his lip hard.
No, not yet, I can't laugh, I have to hold back!
Theoretically, the medicine should take effect in a few seconds!
There should still be thirty seconds!
Let's declare victory in thirty seconds!
Watching his plan about to succeed, Satou Kazuma felt like he was a god!
There's no need to fight against guys like this!
Elsa should be starting to feel sleepy now, right?
Satou Kazuma kept counting down in his mind.
But he found that Elsa wasn't affected at all.
That's strange, that's not possible?
It should have worked by now, right?
Satou Kazuma looked at the cup in front of Elsa on the table with some bewilderment. The next moment, his eyes widened—
The cup didn't contain the milk that had been prepared beforehand, but a cup of plain water?!
How is that possible?!
No no no, I just watched Aqua prepare the milk!
Even if this girl's brain is deficient, she shouldn't make such a basic mistake!
What's going on?!
Just as Satou Kazuma was stunned, Aqua seemed to have remembered something and walked to the former's side with a guilty look, whispering:
"Um... Kazuma, I seem to have remembered something."
"What?"
"Didn't my goddess power recover a little...? My previous purification ability seems to have recovered too."
"What is purification power?"
"I can turn any liquid I touch into pure, harmless water."
"?"
Satou Kazuma turned his head to look at Aqua somewhat blankly.
Purification power?
You, you, you have this ability?!
Did you purify the carefully prepared poison into water?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
His eyes were full of resentment, like a resentful spirit who couldn't get revenge even after dying for a hundred years.
And Aqua showed a smile on her face:
"Hehe, I forgot."
Felt and Rom, who were next to them, also didn't know what was going on beforehand, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
All they could do now was wait and see what happened.
But at this moment, Elsa put down the water cup and said to everyone:
"Where exactly did I slip up? Theoretically, you shouldn't have noticed my identity."
"I, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Felt forced a smile on his face while his body instinctively moved backward.
"When I came in, I could feel that you two were a little afraid of me, and there was a hint of hostility~"
Elsa always kept a meaningful smile on her face.
"In comparison, those two's acting is not bad, but your subtle changes in expression still gave yourselves away. When I was drinking water, the changes in your emotional fluctuations became even more obvious—"
Satou Kazuma opened his eyes in surprise.
At least in his eyes, Felt and Rom's performance was fine.
He didn't expect Elsa's perception to reach this level, that she could capture even subtle changes in expression?
"I originally had a little expectation for you."
Elsa said slowly.
