My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

now that there was enough Ramogi to go around, the illness was no longer spreading at a rapid pace.

If we continued like this for a little longer, it would naturally subside altogether.

And it was the people who bought it at Mr.
Kalis’s store that were helping to spread the rumor.

Word of mouth really has a powerful effect in any age.

“However, why can’t you deal with the other store now?”

Even if their reputation was ruined and no one bought from them anymore, that was no reason to leave them be.

“To let them squirm… Well, not exactly… But I think they can be pushed a little closer to the brink.”
“What do you mean?”

“There is no doubt that their herbs are no longer selling now.
So they must be very frantic.
And so it’s the perfect time to use that wine you purchased that was selected by Leo.”
“The wine?”

Sebastian started to look highly amused.

I felt a chill run down my back as he talked… Even Ms.
Claire looked a little put off.

“Mr.
Takumi’s wine… It will arrive in a few days.
We will take some of it to the store.”
“And then…?”
“We will say that it is a gift, and make them drink it.
…But if they should hesitate or refuse…”

“You’ll tell them that you know that it was used to spread the disease…?”

“Exactly.
Of course, they may use some other excuse to avoid drinking it.
But we’ll just insist that it was from the duke himself.”

If we went to the store empty-handed, they might feign ignorance.

We did have evidence, such as the diluted herbs and medicine, but they might still find some way to avoid taking responsibility.

I suppose Sebastian wanted to make them as desperate as possible, and then use the wine to finish them off…

If he said that it was from the duke…they would find it difficult to refuse. 

It would be like refusing a drink from the boss of a client company… Well, maybe not exactly.

Still, it was rather ruthless of Sebastian, and the atmosphere in the room changed noticeably.
However, he continued to look amused.

…Yes, he was clearly very angry inside as well.

“Aside from that, I must also make a report to His Grace.”
“To Mr.
Ekenhart?”

“Yes.
Lady Claire and I have been given the authority to act on his behalf.
But we are still merely representatives.”

Yes, it was true.

While they could act in his place on many matters, it didn’t mean they could make decisions about everything.

Especially since this was related to another nobleman.
It would be necessary for Mr.
Ekenhart to deal with it himself.

“When Leo returned to the mansion…I sent word to him about the glass sphere.
However, now that we know so much more, I must write to him again.”

“Yes.
Father must decide what is to be done.”
“I doubt His Grace will have any objections on the matter.”
“He will not forgive those who hurt his people.”

Yes, Mr.
Ekenhart would likely deal with them with a firm hand.

Like Sebastian said, what would likely happen is that he would send the message and acquire permission.
And then we would act…

As the main house was quite far from the mansion, he may not want to come here directly.
