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.”

Why would I look at other people’s recipes when I can just have a taste of it? She poured the contents of the bottle until the last drop into her mouth.

“Well…….there are various herbs in it, in which one is peppermint leaves. And, there’s a little bit of holy water and fire properties of mana.”

Ashia, who was nodding her head, said.

“The best herbs at the right ratio. It contains all herbs of excellent quality to suppress your sexual desire.”

Gulp.

Ashia swallowed the last bit of the potion and tapped the entrance of the empty glass bottle with her fingertips.

‘His sexual desire is so strong that it’s enough to cause him to have insomnia after drinking this………’

Ashia shook her head, and said to herself, “You are also a main character.”

Kaligo’s eyes gazed at the fingertips of Ashia. His gaze moved along to her tilted head as she noticed her agonizing.

His eyes, which were moving slowly, stopped at Ashia’s face, who was whimpering in the dark red robe.

All that was revealed was her narrow chin until the tip of her nose.

Occasionally, when her snow-like hands came out of her robe, his eyes would move around busily.

“Alright, let’s get into producing the potion right away.”

Ashia said, putting down the potion bottle she was spinning around on the table.

“I’ll make you a potion that will let you sleep soundly without any side effects as per your instructions.”

The agony will be over soon. Similar to how I ended my transactions with other clients, I will immediately hand over the completed potion and collect the promised payment.

Ashia’s goal of not getting involved with the main characters is very firm from the start. No, after she was kicked out of the tower, that goal of hers became more intense.

Ashia never forgot, not even once.

What happened when she tried to go against the original novel even though she wasn’t the main character.

“In the future, I’ll often have to ask questions that are necessary for me to be able to make the potion. But before that…..”

Ashia rolled up the paper where she recorded this and that and slipped it into her arms, and took off the necklace she had on her neck and placed it on the table.

“Can you do as I say?”

“As you can see, it’s a necklace embellished with a mana stone.”

As Ashia placed her thumbs over the mana stone engraved at the center of the necklace, it began to emit a variety of colors of light in response.

“As you can see from the light, it is a mana stone with four properties in one place.”

“I’ve never seen a mana stone with multiple properties.”

“I’m sure you haven’t. It’s a very, very precious child.”

Ashia smiled feverishly at the necklace.

“Every person has different attributes. Even if it’s a normal person who doesn’t give off a magical power, aura, or even both.”

She also added that the mana stones are needed to be placed on the table to determine one’s properties.

“What should I do?”

“Hold the necklace on one hand……”

“Like this?”

“Ah! Wait!”

Kaligo, who was listening to her instructions, stretched out his long, big hand and grabbed the necklace on the table.

“That’s not right!”
