Because There Were 100 Goddesses in Charge of Reincarnation, I Received 100 Cheat Skills - Chapter 135

Chapter 135 - Anti-aging medicine

“……You’re not wrong. I’m the one who cursed this kingdom’s king”

When I caught the culprit who was staying in an inn in the royal capital and dragged her with me to the royal palace, she confessed immediately when the main people involved in this appeared.

It was a young woman.

And a beauty at that.

“Father. Do you recognize her?”

“I, I don’t know her! I, I don’t know women such as this!”

When Esbert asked the King, he hurriedly denied it.

“……Ufufufu, dear? Is that the truth? The absolute, honest, undeniable, perfect truth……?”

“Hiih!?”

The Queen approached the King with a smile, perhaps this was women’s intuition at work.

However, her eyes weren’t smiling at all.

On the contrary they turned into abysses swirling with darkness.

“Her curse wouldn’t work without sexual contact. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, that’s right”

When asked to confirm it, the beautiful spellcaster nodded.

“Karuna-donoooooo?!”

“Deeaar……? Would you come over here……?”

“Pl, please wait! It was just a sudden impulse……”

“A sudden impulse? Because of a sudden impulse you thoroughly enjoyed this young and beautiful woman……?”

“Hiiiiiiiih!”

The Queen dragged the screaming King behind her.

“Aaah! The pain is coming again! P, painful……! Dear, please wait! If this keeps up I’ll die!”

“No, I already lifted the curse, you know?”

“Karuna-donooooooooo!?”

The tactic of feigning illness was also fruitless, so the Queen disappeared with the King into the next room.

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

We could hear a terrified scream.

Just what kind of punishment is he undergoing?

RIP.

“Anyway, with this, the King won’t have to die”

“…..Isn’t the likelihood of him dying sooner greater now……?” 

“He should die once and get his nature beaten in shape!”

While the deathly screams were echoing around us, Esbert blushed, looking like he fully understood just what his father did with the spellcaster.

“Bu, but, just how did she approach father……? No, it’s more natural to think that someone in the palace hired her…….If that’s the case, the who……?”

“……I was commissioned by Her Highness the Second Princess”

Seemingly having resigned herself to fate, the beautiful spellcaster revealed her client.

“Big sister…..? Did she perhaps try to kill father for the throne……”

The second princess isn’t in this place.

We immediately headed to the second princess’ room.

“Older sister! Excuse me!”

Ellen opened the door without knocking.

Unfortunately, the second princess wasn’t in the middle of changing her clothes, but was elegantly sitting on the sofa sipping some tea.

She unpleasantly glared at the sudden intruders.

“What might be your business? Would you mind not setting your smelly feet into my room?”

“Th, they aren’t smelly!…..Sniff, sniff”

Though she immediately denied it, she still uneasily crouched down and smelled her feet.

“I mean, more importantly! I’ve misjudged you! For the culprit who cursed and tried to kill my father to possibly be my older sister!”

“…..What might you mean with that? What might the basis be, for you to throw such accusations at your own sister? Has your head finally completely turned into muscles?”

“We have evidence! Alright, come in”

When she saw the beautiful spellcaster entering the room, surprise could be seen on the Second Princess’ face.

“…..I, I don’t know that woman!”

She seems so intent to feign ignorance.

I decided to slightly use mind manipulation magic, Confess.

“I did it”

…..She admitted to her crime in a matter of seconds.

Amazing, for it to be so effective.

There’s no need for something like investigations.

『Since Master holds 〈Mind Manipulation・Extreme〉』

Could I also make people fall in love with me?

 『…………It is possible, but I wouldn’t recommend abusing it』

Hahaha, I’d never do something like that (Monotone)

“Just why would you do such a thing, older sister?!”

Ellen questioned the Second Princess.

Then the second princess glanced in Esbert’s direction.

“Because…..Because! If I don’t hurry up, he’d just grow up……!”

She yelled with a serious face.

““”Yes?“””

Everyone was speechless.

“Wha, what do you mean with that……? Please explain it so that even I can understand it!”

“……This patter, I feel like she will turn out to be some useless person……”

Thira’s intuition is getting better.

I went to the back of the room and slid the book shelf to the side.

“A hidden door, in a place like this……?”

What greeted me when I opened the door was――

“Plants……?”

A lot of plants were cultivated in this room that’s at most 10 tatami mats big.

A workbench occupied a part of the room and on top of it were a lot of equipment that could be used for something like chemical experiments.

“Just what, did big sister do in this place……? Co, could it be, making magic drugs……?!”

Esbert’s guess isn’t far off.

By the way, magic drugs are like the ones on Earth, but because they contain magical power, their effects are much diverser and more powerful.

　I used 〈Appraisal・Extreme〉 to analyze the plants and the unfinished drugs.

“I see, I solved the mystery”

“Eh, really?”

I nodded, and then I saw through the Second Princess’ secret.

“She was secretly developing a potion to stop one’s growth!”

“……No, I don’t really get what you mean with that”

“You haven’t figured it out yet, Thiratson-kun?”

“Who’s that supposed to be……?”

I tried to showcase Holmes-like excellent reasoning, but before I got the chance the culprit confessed.

“As that man said, I was making an anti-aging medicine”

Normally one would want to preserve one’s own youthfulness. 

But in her case it wasn’t like that.

“Of course, I’d have Esbert drink it……! Because, if he grew up he’d lose his precious appearance…….!? Something like that…. I absolutely can’t forgive something like that……!”

““”Eh?!”””

As we turned speechless again, the Second Princess turned her feverish gaze towards her younger brother, Esbert.

“Aah…..Cute……Precious……Cute……Precious……Haah, Haah…….Never lose this………If that were to happen, the nation, no, the whole of humanity would suffer a serious loss……!”

That’s right, she was a serious Shotacon!

“However, development is going slow and I wouldn’t make it in time……! So, I thought about becoming the Queen and pouring the national budget into this!”

As expected of someone with the title of Ellen’s older sister, these aren’t thoughts of a normal person.

“But before that could happen, I’d have to remove the hindrances……! So I hired that spellcaster over there……!”

As a result, the King (her father) was almost killed by his own daughter.

“Seriously, why are there only people making things difficult around me?”

Thira whispered with a crestfallen expression on her face.

“This world is kind of strange after all”

“I don’t want you do say that, Karuna-san”

By the way, Esbert is frozen solid.

The truth behind this case just went in an unexpectedly weird direction and probably having found out that his big sister looked at him like that even made this child prodigy freeze up.

“However, it’s already over……”

However, the Second Princess suddenly started running with steady eyes.

“I shall, at least, let you die in this precious appearance!”

She slashed at Esbert with a knife she kept hidden somewhere.

However, Ellen, who deflected the blow, knocked the knife down.

Even though it’s Ellen, she still had some good points to her.

“Aah……Esbert……”

With even her vain resistance ending in failure, the Second Princess collapsed where she stood.
