Chapter 5 [Part 1] – In A Locked Room

‘But, insomnia is a side effect…..’

Well, there is nothing strange about insomnia being known as a new side effect when new diseases are discovered and when new treatments are developed every year.

“Are you taking any medicine at present?”

At her question, Kaligo raised his eyebrows.

“…..I wouldn’t have had a woman in an enclosed room without any precaution.”

“Is it something worth preparing for?”

“If you’ve heard the rumors, you’ll know.”

“……Oh.”

“Had I not taken any medicine, I am well aware of what I’d do in a place where no one is allowed to enter.”

“……….”

At his words, silence filled the office once again.

Kaligo, who had not been moving for a long time, got up from the sofa and returned with a small box and sat down.

As soon as he placed the box on the table, he turned his head to face Ashia.

“What is this?”

“This is the potion I am currently taking. It was created by a wizard belonging to the Etous family.”

“……You still called for me even though you had a wizard in your family?”

“It’s not like this potion doesn’t have any side effects either.”

“…….”

Kaligo, who sat down on the sofa again, continued his words as he looked at the potion inside the box that was placed on the table.

“As I have mentioned earlier, I am looking for a potion without any side effects.”

Ashia glanced at him for a moment before she reached out her hand to take the box that was placed on the table and opened its lid. As soon as the lid was opened, the mana and energy that flowed out made her aware that it was a well-formed potion.

‘You said he was a wizard from your family, but I don’t think his skills are ordinary.’

The mana contained in each option was also not inferior.

Ashia picked up one among the many potions placed inside the box and threw the lid off the bottle. She took it under her nose and smelled it, and then, as if it wasn’t enough for her to simply smell it, she poured it into her mouth.

Gulp.

“?!”

Kaligo, whose back was slumped against the sofa, quickly raised his upper body at the sight.

“What is it now……”

“A component that can be missed cannot be distinguished just by smelling the potion.”

Ashia smiled nonchalantly. She enjoyed the potions until the last minute and took advantage of his bewildered face as a snack.

TL/N – Best female lead lmao

“You can just ask them to come and bring a list of the ingredients used on the potions. The same symptoms may start appearing on your own body…….”

“Among the wizards who make potions, to find the exact recipe to completely suppress a client’s sickness, I must risk my life. Neither do I want to ask for it, nor do I want to see it.”

She said, casually. She then held the potion bottle up high and continued to talk as she looked at the lamp.

“You need not to worry about the ingredients in this that may cause harm to me or its toxins as they can easily break down on their own in one’s body. A wizard who makes potion doesn’t simply drink any potion without any precaution.”
