There had been a moment where it seemed like a major disaster might occur.

However, thanks to Li's quick thinking, the meeting of Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross avoided trouble and continued even as the sun was beginning to set.

They continued while taking breaks that were essentially casual conversations.

Everyone was taking it seriously.

Especially since Li was present, questions were asked enthusiastically.

Even after dismissing their familiars due to the large mana consumption, the noble young ladies still had many things they wanted to ask.

Li carefully answered each question.

At times she even demonstrated things herself.

And she never forgot to praise the noble young ladies when they practiced.

Show them how it is done, explain it to them, let them try it and praise them. Otherwise people will not act.

However it was already around sunset.

Just as Li was thinking it was about time to wrap things up,

"Hauah!"

The Saint suddenly cried out.

Her face had the intense expression of something straight out of a dramatic manga.

"Is something wrong, Erika?"

"Oh ho, oh hoho. It's... ah!"

The Saint desperately tried to cover it up but large beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead.

"Are you feeling unwell? Are you alright?"

"Ah! I can't anymore, I can't, I can't."

The Saint stood up and began walking in small steps with an oddly inward stance.

"Erika!?"

The Saint was heading toward the toilet Li had installed.

Seeing her retreating figure, Li suddenly realized something.

It was the mayonnaise used in the hamburgers.

According to Li's knowledge from her previous life, one had to be careful about food poisoning when it came to mayonnaise.

Chickens lay eggs through the same opening used for excretion and salmonella bacteria easily attach there.

This salmonella bacteria causes food poisoning.

If the incubation period was short, symptoms could appear within just a few hours.

Li remembered the symptoms as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

"Hakyuun!"

Alberta suddenly let out a strange cry and stood up.

"I... I also need to... the flowers... ohhh..."

Alberta hurried away.

That seemed to trigger the other noble young ladies and they began to fidget.

Wrinkles appeared between everyone's brows.

Ah, this is bad, thinking so, Li secretly used magic without the noble young ladies noticing.

[Goddess's Healing]

Li did not know which magic would work against food poisoning.

So she used the highest-level magic available to her.

It was the magic that used the Goddess's divine authority and had once saved the Queen from Grand Fever.

However the output was greatly reduced.

A gentle divine authority like rain falling on parched land poured down across the entire room.

The effect was immediate.

The complexion of all the noble young ladies except Li instantly returned to normal.

In truth Li had hesitated to eat the mayonnaise.

According to knowledge from her previous life, salmonella bacteria were weak to heat and eggs were washed in hot water so they could be eaten raw.

However this was another world.

Here as well it was said through experience that eating eggs raw was dangerous.

But unlike in her previous life, it had not been identified as being caused by salmonella bacteria.

Perhaps it was caused by some other bacteria.

Or perhaps something other than bacteria entirely.

That was why Li had deliberately avoided making mayonnaise.

The Saint may have attempted purification using her sacred magic.

However if bacteria were not even recognized as existing, how much sterilization could actually be done?

That uncertainty had worried Li.

Inside she sighed in relief thinking, I'm glad I did not make any.

Incidentally, status ailments had absolutely no effect on Li.

It was customary for noble families to develop resistance to poison.

It was a harsh and difficult process.

However, ever since childhood, no poison had ever worked on Li.

She believed it was because of [Noble Lady's Etiquette] but the truth was known only to the Goddess.

After all, an overwhelmingly beautiful girl does not do those sorts of things.

The Saint and Alberta returned from the toilet.

"Are you alright?"

"There was nothing wrong."

"That is good then."

"I also had no problems."

Alberta said this with a flushed face.

Li decided to pretend the food poisoning had never happened.

Later on she secretly told only the Saint the truth.

That white sauce was the cause.

When the Saint heard that, her face turned pale and she bowed her head to Li.

After all, Li had protected both her dignity and that of her friends.
