I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 58. Are you thinking of dying and running away?

Everyone in the dining room looked at the butler Prosciutto. Said the knights in confusion.

“Why are you leaning against a pillar?”

“More than that, you said that the culprit of the poisoning was not Elder Panir.”

“What is going on!?”

In the midst of the commotion, Panir’s shouts echoed through the restaurant.

“Keter, you bastard! What are you playing in front of me now!”

When Keter’s name was mentioned out of nowhere, the knights were bewildered. Gasilius also continued to speak.

“Brother Keter. Could you please come out of the pillar?”

Then, indeed, Keter walked out from behind the pillar and said:

“The atmosphere was too stiff, so I tried some vocal mimicry. It was like a charm, right?”

“You fool, how dare you say where is this place!”

Unbeknownst to the others, when Paneer saw Keter, he turned around and pretended to shoot an arrow.

But it was no pretend. Bows and arrows made of auras appeared in an instant and fired at Keter.

However, his arrow was shot down in the middle. As expected, Gasilius sniped and dropped it.

“How dare you stop me?”

Panir aimed at Gasilius, and Gasilius aimed at Panir.

As the 5-star knights began to erupt, the building itself began to vibrate. The knights’ complexions turned white, and the attendants fainted.

In between, Keter intervened. Then, with a calm face, he said to Panir, who was aiming an arrow at him.

“Your Highness, don’t you like me?”

“This situation is all your fault.”

“Maybe.”

“what!?”

“I don’t like the old man either. So we went. Even if you get hurt, you have to be hurt by me, not by someone else.”

“As I heard from Basil, you are a madman. Doesn’t that mean that you knew about this!”

“I heard it an hour ago. The story of the family head and the old man having a meal together. I realized then. It is a trap.”

“under! On what grounds?”

“here.”

Kether said, patting herself on the head.

“My extraordinary brain is the basis itself.”

“… … .”

The people in the audience blinked their eyes. Those who had seen Keter first made an expression of ‘So it is’.

Paneer was also stunned for a moment before speaking.

“They say they show up at most… … !”

“Don’t worry, the culprit is in here!”

Keter proudly speaks of the obvious.

Sous-Vide, the general butler who was watching, said.

“Brother Keter. This is not the time to play around. Since the head of household has been poisoned, we need to call a doctor as soon as possible.”

Keter then glanced at Basil and said:

“Looking at the situation, you will wake up soon. In the first place, the culprit was after Elder Paneer, not the head of the household.”

“It is absurd. I will go out with the lord. What does Sir Gasilius do without arresting Elder Panir red-handed?”

“Don’t move! The moving bastard is the culprit.”

flinch.

Sous-vide, who was going to carry the family tree on his back, glared at Keter.

It was then.

“Mr. Sous-Vide. Excuse me for a moment.”

Gasilius stopped holding Panir in check and approached the fainting family head.

The movement was so fast that the defense had no time to stop it.

“hmm… . It certainly seems that you are not in critical condition.”

Sous-vide was taken aback by Gasilius’ words.

“Sir Gasilius. Do you believe the words of that madman now? I mean, an illegitimate child with a low level of words and actions would have intervened in this affair knowing something.”

“Butler. Why are you so flustered? You are not like usual.”

“Isn’t the head of the household at stake? How can I not be angry that Master Keter intervened without knowing the subject?”

“My lord is fine. I swear by my name.”

When Gasilius came out so strong, Sous-Vide told the knights around him.

“What are you guys doing? Now that the head of the household is in critical condition, are we going to just wait?”

This time it was Keter.

“You are too much. Are you saying that the head of Sephira is in critical condition due to poison?”

The knights silently affirmed Keter’s words.

A master-level knight given by Basil. He wasn’t just a man who could be poisoned. Besides, didn’t they guarantee longitude of Gasilius? The lord said it was okay.

At Keter’s words, which moved emotions rather than reason, the knights didn’t move easily even with sous-vide’s pressure.

“So, who is the culprit behind this? Master Keter.”

Gasilius asked Kether.

Everyone paid attention to Keter’s mouth. Panir, who was very excited, got rid of his arrows and bow and was glaring at Keter.

Keter glanced around at the people around him. Those who received Keter’s gaze trembled, but did not avoid it.

Paneer rather glared at Kether, and Gasilius remained the same.

However, only one person-

Sous-vide slightly lowered his gaze without realizing it, then quickly returned to his place.

“The culprit is you!”

Keter’s finger pointed at the sous vide butler.

* * *

“Heh heh, heh heh heh.”

The designated defender laughed without hesitation. His laughter echoes through the restaurant.

Eventually, Sous-Vide stopped laughing and shook his head.

“I don’t know how long I will have to hang out with these childish pranks.”

He gestured for consent, but no one sympathized.

Just today, Keter made an achievement. The great achievement of fighting against the knights of the Vident family. Thanks to that, Keter also had a say.

Sous-vide understood that phenomenon, so he said it without force.

“I will listen. Why am I the culprit, having served two patriarchs? Master Keter. Do you have any proof?”

The defense was very confident.

evidence? does not exist. No one knows that the chef and he had an affair. Unless the chef himself reveals it.

But it was strange. Kether spoke very confidently, like someone who had evidence.

“There can be no evidence, is there? You are not stupid.”

“… … !?”

It was sophistry, but on the other hand, it made sense.

Keter continued before Sousvide could retort.

“Instead, there are witnesses.”

“… … !”

Everyone was agitated by Keter’s words.

“Come on in.”

At Keter’s words, everyone looked at the entrance of the restaurant.

But no one came in.

Subide said with a smile.

“Seriously, how long are you going to play around… … .”

Sigh.

There was the sound of a door opening.

However, it was not the sound coming from the entrance of the restaurant. It was the sound of the kitchen door leading to the dining room opening.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards it.

“Oh no?”

“That person!”

His face was so bad that he couldn’t be recognized, but it was very easy to tell who he was from his cook’s uniform and his chubby body.

It was Hulan, the chef of the Panir Mansion.

Subide’s eyes started to tremble slightly.

Keter approached Hulan and put his arm around his shoulder.

“Hey, say it again with your mouth. Who ordered what?”

“S-Svid Chojisanimi Gaz-sama ordered me to ride the dog in the soup.”

Even in the midst of leaking pronunciation, as if all his teeth had come out, there was no one who could not understand his words.

Everyone looked at the butler sous-vide with disbelief on their faces. Subide said in an absurd tone.

From noble mtl dot com

“Perjury. It is not clear that he gave false testimony through violence!”

“You seem to want to say, ‘This witness is a fake.’”

“You’re asking the obvious!”

“The head of the household was poisoned. Are these fake?”

“that… It is true.”

The first to run to the householder and give him a neutralizer was the sous vide butler himself.

“Sous Vide, you acted like someone who knew that the head of the household was poisoned. They fed me neutralizers without even checking.”

“Are you going to force it? There were no outside intruders, no attacks. In the meantime, if you vomited blood through your mouth while eating, what is it if it’s not poison?”

“I wanted to hear that. Those words, ‘The family lord definitely ate poison’. ruler! Then where was the poison?”

The answer was given by Gasilius.

“The head of the household only ate soup.”

“Then the soup must have been poisoned.”

Tuck, Tuck.

Keter wandered around Sousvide.

Tension rose to its peak in defense. I had no idea what the hell he was trying to say, so it was impossible to react in advance.

“Poison is very difficult to keep. So, I put it in a specially treated glass bottle. Chef Hulan here also received a glass bottle. For sous-vide, a vial of poison.”

Keter, who was always resting, immediately took out a glass bottle from her bosom and lifted it up.

Everyone looked at the vial.

That’s the glass bottle containing the poison that killed the family head!

It was then.

The defender shouted out loud.

“under! That’s absurd! You want to fool someone with a fake like that!”

At that word from Sous-vide, everyone was silent.

Those who had not yet grasped the situation only blinked, while those who were quick-witted had their pupils widened.

Keter nailed it.

“How did the old man know that this was fake as soon as he saw it?”

“What!”

“Annit!?”

Those who had been silent could not hold back their astonishment.

“Huh!”

Even the seasoned defender took a breath and backtracked.

It was an act that was tantamount to a confession.

“All, of course I mean! If the culprit wasn’t an idiot, he would have disposed of the medicine bottle, but the fact that he brought it intact is a fake!”

A defender who tries to counterattack belatedly.

However, the gaze has already changed. His gaze narrowed and sharpened.

“Defense. Like you said, this is fake. I guess I need to clear things up here. Was it a coincidence that the family head ate the soup? Or was it inevitable?”

There were two people who could answer this question. Gasilius and Panir, who were present at the scene.

Gasilius said with a calm expression.

“It was the sous-vide butler who offered the soup.”

“Even if sous vide didn’t recommend it, would the head of the family eat the soup?”

“I wouldn’t have eaten. That was not the case.”

Gasilius couldn’t believe what he said.

Why the hell is the sous-vide butler? Why did he poison the family head to slander Elder Panir?

It was an act I couldn’t understand. But all circumstances were telling me that Sous-vide was the culprit.

At that time, the sous vide general butler took off his monocle and said.

“So, do you have any proof? It’s not just the words, but the clear evidence, the motive and evidence that I poisoned the family head’s soup.”

It was a last resort, and a sure means of defense.

motive and evidence. Even those who thought Sous-Vide was the culprit were agitated when they heard that.

“Surely there’s no reason for sous-vide general butler to add poison, right?”

“Sous Vide is the one who served the three heads of households. He wasn’t on bad terms with Elder Panir either.”

thud!

Keter stamped the floor, drawing attention.

“Then I would like to ask the opposite question. Where is the evidence that Elder Panir poisoned the headmistress’ soup?”

“Elder Panir has a motive. Sir Gasilius. You know what I mean.”

“Um… … .”

Gasilius swallowed his saliva and said nothing. That was meant positively.

“Also, I have solid evidence.”

Subide grinned and clapped his hands.

“… … .”

But nothing happened.

The defender was also taken aback and clapped his hands again.

Then Keter said.

“Are you wasting time? It’s the old way.”

“Let me go out for a while. I will bring the evidence myself.”

“The evidence is this, isn’t it?”

Kether pulled out a piece of paper from within her bosom.

Subide’s eyes widened when he saw the paper. Others were curious about the identity of the paper.

“That, why did you do that?!”

“One of the ladies-in-waiting was restless and wandering around, so I searched for something like this. I heard that you received an order from sous-vide. Give me a signal and bring this letter as if you found it by chance.”

“Brother Keter. What the hell is that letter?”

When Gasilius asked, Keter said in a nonsensical tone.

“This is a letter about my existence. A letter from my mother to my father.”

“Why did the sous vide butler… send such an important letter? … ?””

“Perhaps the head of the household lost this letter. I’m looking for it, how about coming out of old Paneer’s house?”

“… … !”

You can’t know unless you’re an idiot.

While Panir and Gazoo were sitting together, he was poisoned by Gazoo and collapsed. In the meantime, what if the missing letter is also found in Panir’s mansion?

Paneer would be branded as a traitor.

A truly perfect trap.

“You are writing a novel. Do you have any motive for slandering Elder Panir?”

“Doesn’t Elder Panir know about that?”

All eyes were on Elder Panir. One word from him would decide everything.

Keter looked intently at Panir.

Here is the last hurdle.

The answer is that he came to Panir’s mansion after smelling the incident.

It was good to know the circumstances after cutting off Chef Hulan, who was always trembling with anxiety, but the preparation time was too short.

Searching the mansion, finding the suspicious lady-in-waiting, and even finding the letter was the best.

‘From here on, the realm of deterrence and perjury.’

The sous-vide general butler was truly formidable. It put a lot of psychological pressure on me to make mistakes, but I made up for it.

As he said, there is no evidence.

I couldn’t even figure out the motive.

However, the culprit is definitely him.

Here, just pushing was the most important thing.

Paneer is the key.

It was very easy. If sous vide is not the culprit, Paneer becomes the culprit. You will have to actively protest.

‘You have a choice. Suicide or admit it.’

You just have to admit it. You can decorate it. It just needs to be said that Sousvide is good enough to do this.

However, Paneer was troubled.

Suicide or admit, which one to choose.

It was because of Keter.

‘I don’t know why he’s helping me, but I don’t like it. Even if I die, I can’t wait to see him play an active role in this family anymore.’

Paneer’s thoughts were extremely destructive.

I’d rather die than be helped by the idiot Keter.

Paneer knows that this is an irrational judgment, but he is tired. All this strife and mess.

I even thought that it would be better to admit that I was poisoned and die cleanly. Then, at least, it won’t cause any damage to Sephira.

“I am… … .”

The moment Paneer decided to commit suicide-

“Elder Panir!”

At the sound of someone’s voice, Paneer’s mind flashed.

Paneer was angry.

Was this voice invented by Kether again?

It was Catherine’s voice. Catherine, who did not have a family, is the only daughter she cherishes.

But she can’t be here. Because she’s on probation.

‘Keter, you intend to mock me to the end. good night. If you’re going to die anyway, I’ll make you my companion.’

Paneer glared at Keter, holding back his life.

And in the next moment, Paneer’s pupils widened.

Beside Keter, there was a woman.

It was Catherine.
