บท 124: Five-Greens Antidote

Cuthes appeared at their shoulders, dazed flower-seller in tow, interrupting the conversation. "Tell me everything that happened, if you would?"

It wasn't even him who killed it.

Ahaha. That story was surely getting traction; he should study more about the southern mountains. Defi put on his most nonchalant air. "Only that the beast being in that flower pot was no accident."

Considering how carefully the scyllarelis was arranged to look like a plant, Defi could understand the adjutant's fiercely furrowed brows.
