I Reincarnated as A Little Girl?!

"All right, I'll tell you everything, but please...." Frustrated, the duke bit his lips and gritted his teeth, but after taking a kick from Larissa, he decided to start telling everything that had happened.

He had found by chance a recipe for a drug in some old books he had received and had tried to reproduce the drug. When the drug was ready, he tried it on one of the maids and noticed the beneficial effects the drug gave.

Like an increase in magical power, and also a rapid evolution of muscles and mana.

This worked especially with children in their growth phase.

After testing it on a few selected children, including his daughter, the duke decided to start selling the drug. He would separate them into batches and sell them for a high price that reached tens of thousands of gold coins.

The drug was only sold to nobles of lesser influence who wanted their children to evolve enough to stand out among the nobility. Mainly at school in the capital.

And as the demand had become too great, some dealers were hired, and one of these dealers was the mayor of Grenrok.

After this, the drug started to spread even more among the nobility.

Thus the whole country became infested with this cursed drug, and children and more children became ill. With the nobles realizing the side effects of the drug, sales decreased more and more.

"So we were thinking of exporting it to other countries, but it didn't work."

"I see."

"That's all, so..."

"I'm still not satisfied. I need to know what the ingredients are, where it came from, and where these books are that you found this recipe."

"The books are in the library of my mansion, they are hidden in a safe that is behind a collection of books about the history of the country. Do you want me to show them to you?'

"No need, I think I can find them. But where did these books come from?"

"I have no idea. It came from a public library that is in Slovika, the capital."

"The books came from another country?"

"Or that's what was on the letter that came along with them."

"I see, so you have a letter. Where is this letter?"

"It is in the safe along with the books."

"I see."

"Haaa~~" Sighing, the duke thought he was safe.

But he was wrong, after thinking a little more about what to do, Larissa used magic to cut the duke's belly.

"Gaaaa~~~" He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"I thought you wouldn't kill me, you bastard..." Breaking his teeth with the force he was putting into his jaw, the duke breathed his last.

"This is getting more complicated than I imagined. Do I have to go to another country to investigate this? Well, first let's stop the production of it."

####

Arriving at the library of the mansion that Larissa had visited before, she threw all the books off the floor looking for the safe the duke had talked about.

Quickly she found it.

It was an iron safe and it was locked. It had some buttons for entering a password like a technological safe that existed in Larissa's old world.

She didn't care much about this and used magic to melt the lock on the safe.

After the safe was opened, she took out some old books and also an envelope that was inside.

"It's probably the letter the duke talked about."

Taking advantage that she had already opened the safe, Larissa took the jewelry and coins that were inside and put them in its storage.

She also put the books away and then activated her invisibility magic to go to the room where the drugs were made.

It wasn't very technological and it was also a little dirtier than it should have been.

Larissa was smelling a strong, unpleasant odor all over the place.

"Hey, you." After finding the man hiding inside a small room, Larissa called out to him. The man was terrified to see her.

"Who are you? What have you done with the duke?"

"I am the person who ended up killing your master and now I have come here to kill you."

"!"

Having his neck cut, the man fell to the ground already lifeless.

Larissa then took another look around the room and found nothing of interest other than some cauldrons filled with strange liquids and also some boxes already filled with vials of the drug.

So Larissa used her magic to destroy the whole thing.

'Right, now that I've destroyed it I can leave.' Then she activated her invisibility magic again and left the mansion.

Then she traveled back to Grenrok.

It took some time, but she got there during the night.

She arrived at her mansion and landed in front of the door.

Then she knocked a few times and the door was answered by Emily.

"So where were you and what took you so long?"

"I was solving an old problem."

"..."

"Is dinner ready yet? I want to eat and go to bed because I have to leave tomorrow morning, I need to go to Slovika."

"What? You are going to travel to another country?" Emily exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it will be a quick trip."

"But why? What happened?"

"I just want to solve all my problems quickly so that I can live in peace and without worries."

"I see..."

"Okay, when dinner is ready call me, I'm going to take a shower."

"Oh, sure... You need a bath. And try not to show your appearance to Syl, she might end up getting scared."

"All right."

With her body full of blood, Larissa went upstairs to the second floor and took a shower.

And after the shower, she was called in and had dinner.

After some more time chatting with everyone at the table, she went upstairs along with Syl and lay down to sleep, and so the night ended.

Larissa woke up the next day before five o'clock in the morning. Syl was sleeping beside her peacefully.

She stroked Syl's head and then got up to brush her teeth and start her journey towards Slovika.

'First I need to study the world map a little more so I can get there quickly.'

So Larissa went to the library before making her journey. There she got a map that showed all the countries and their locations. There she found the exact location of Slovika.

And knowing exactly where she had to go Larissa activated her invisibility magic and then began her journey.
