In a room in the castle of the Death King Isis…… The room of Rasal, one of the Death King’s executives, Pleiades, looked more like a laboratory than just a room filled with various research paraphernalia.
The room’s owner, Rasal, was mixing so chemicals at her desk, perhaps in the middle of her research.
[……What are you making this ti, Rasal?]
[Where the heck did you co from……]
[From the entrance. I see you’ve changed the password pattern on the entrance technique in your door. I know you’re just being as cautious as ever, but it’s troubleso for to co in.]
[……Tsk, it’s already broken through huh. You’re still as pointlessly excellent and inconsiderate as ever.]
Although Rasal certainly is cautious and vigilant, the Anti-Intrusion Techniques she had set up at the entrance to the room are mainly counterasures against Eulpecula.
They’re counterasures against the mischievous Eulpecula, who, as in this case, suddenly decides to visit, interrupting her research and taking away items made by Rasal without permission.
However, Eulpecula, whose senses, talent and even dexterity were on the level where she’s called a bug of this world, can break through it in a short ti no matter how many tis she changes the technique……
[So, what are you making?]
[I’m making new detergents under Iris’ request. This ti, detergent for tableware.]
[Heehhh~~ Won’t it be as bad as that soap you made before? That soap filled the onsen with lots of bubbles, rember?]
[I put that away because it was a failure, but you just had to take it out and put it in the bathroom without permission……]
[That soap was quite fun though~~]
For Rasal, the act of researching is her hobby, and she dabbles in many different genres. These days, she often makes household items, making her quite famous in so circles for creating products that often perform wonderfully.
Rasal herself enjoys the research itself and isn’t interested in the prestige that cos with the result though, so she just sells the rights to the finished products to her acquaintances, such as Sechs.
[……Oya? What is this?]
[It’s the prototype of a powerful bleaching agent I was trying to make. Don’t touch it. It was made to be extrely effective for experints, as it literally turns everything white.]
[What are you even gonna do with such an extre product?]
[I made that purely as an experint. It’s more efficient to record the maximum and minimum values of the subject, and then make adjustnts from there.]
[……Hmmm.]
After nodding at Rasal’s words, Eulpecula grinned.
[Rather, don’t touch all those stuff in that area. There are so rare materials that I…… Unnn?]
After finishing the preparations for the experint she had at the mont, Rasal turns around to warn Eulpecula…… but Eulpecula had already been gone for so ti, and in front of the shelf where she heard Eulpecula’s voice a mont ago, there was a wooden box.
[……What in the world is that ill-natured fox planning now……]
Seeing the wooden box that was obviously out of place, Rasal, expecting it to be a prank played by Eulpecula, stood up and carefully observed the wooden box.
[……It’s the type of technique that is triggered when opened, but if it’s just this, it would be easy to disarm it…… Well, there’s no way she would pull off such a simple trick though.]
Rasal recognizes Eulpecula’s intellect…… her cunning. The fact that Eulpecula has been playing tricks on the ever-vigilant Rasal on a regular basis and succeeding is also a sign that she’s quite crafty and clever.
At the very least, she deems that it couldn’t just be a simple trick of opening the box and triggering the trap.
[……As I thought, the key to deactivating the trap is well-concealed and well-designed technique. It’s a two-tiered setup, and it’s quite impressive that she managed to do this in such a short period of ti…… is what I would have said but……]
After muttering to herself, Rasal turned her gaze not to the wooden box…… but to the floor beneath the shelf on which the wooden box was placed, and put on a more serious expression on her face than before.
[There’s a trap over there. I know there would be. If it’s Eulpecula, knowing that I would be able to see right through her trap, she would definitely take a three-step plan…… Good grief, how astonishingly scrupulous.]
Muttering to herself, Rasal deactivated a complicated magic formula that seed to be the main trap, which had been set up at her feet. Imdiately after that, a bottle flew in out of nowhere and struck the hoodie she was wearing…… In other words, Rasal’s head, scattering its liquid contents on her.
[……I see, well played…… A four-stage setup, where the last trap is when the techniques placed in the wooden box aren’t eliminated and only the technique underneath the box is deactivated…… Moreover, to make sure I wouldn’t notice and avoid it, she even carefully placed Recognition Inhibition Magic on the bottle…… and the contents is, hohouu, that prototype bleaching agent we were talking about earlier huh…… Kuha, kukakaka!]
Rasal, a hand on her face, laughed out loud with amusent. After a hearty laugh, she grabbed the huge coffin that was propped up against the wall and ran out of the room.
[CO BACK HERE, YOU SH*TTY FOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXX!!!]
And that day, in Isis’ castle, there was the scene of Eulpecula being chased around by “Rasal wearing a white robe”.
After a long chase, Rasal returned to her room with a tired look on her face, took off her bleached robe and threw it into a trash can.
Considering the effects of the material and other factors for her research, the robe that Rasal wears during her research is not a robe made of magic, but a special robe made of a material that blocks magic power.
[Good grief…… Well, that research robe was getting old, and I was going to get a new one soon, so I guess it doesn’t matter…… Even so, because of that ill-natured fox’s uselessly high abilities, it’s getting hard to keep up with her.]
Rasal, who had thrown away her robe and sat down on a chair looking tired, suddenly stood up as if she rembered sothing and approached the wooden box in front of the shelf.
[……Speaking of which, in the end, what is with this wooden box? Is it just a false trap?]
Muttering this, she deactivated the magic techniques around the wooden box and opened it…… She found a “brand-new robe” inside.
[……Good grief, she really is an ill-natured fellow.]
After astoundedly saying this…… with a sowhat gentle smile on her lips, Rasal moved her hand into the sleeve of her brand-new robe.
? ? ? : [Let explain. “Pleiaaadesuuuuuu~~☆” is an Easy-Going, Slice of Life Cody about Isis-san and the mbers of the Pleiades!]
Serious-senpai : [Wha!? The heck are you on to now!?]
