“First, let’s talk about ‘Teodartes’s Plate’... Akashiterika-sama, Emi-san... Do you know the name Teodartes?”
At Director Rakigataa’s question, Emi shook her head sideways.
“...If I remember correctly, he was the prime minister of the former Yoiyattsu Kingdom, about five hundred years ago?”
Akashiterika, on the other hand, put her hand on her chin, thought for a moment, and retrieved the answer from her memories.
“Correct. Gufufu, as expected of Akashiterika-sama.”
Director Rakigataa smiled, and continued his explanation.
“And Teodartes is more famous as a heavy drinker and gourmand, rather than for his achievements as prime minister. In his later years, he collected various tableware to enhance his meals, but there’s one plate that he bought... but never used. That is...”
“Teodartes’s Plate...”
“Exactly.”
Emi, listening to Director Rakigataa and Akashiterika’s conversation, tilted her head.
“He bought it... but didn’t use it? Why?”
“...It had a hole in it.”
“This one too... despite being discovered by the Frozend family, is a mysterious item whose true nature is unknown. First, its history is unknown. Why they were placed in a hidden room, who hid them there... there are no records left. From the clothes the dolls are wearing, it’s assumed that they were probably made four to six hundred years ago, but... Also, these Living Dolls have the astonishing property of being impervious to damage, and their material is still unknown.”
“Life-sized women... That means... they must have been quite large treasures, right?”
“Yes, Akashiterika-sama... All the dolls were of young, beautiful women, between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, so you’re right. Their clothing varies—some are dressed like nobles, some like maids, and some like commoners.”
“............”
Akashiterika, having taken in the information about the three stolen treasures—the Superbad Jeweled Crown, Teodartes’s Plate, and the Frozend Living Dolls—began to think.
She crossed her arms, fell silent, accelerated her thinking, and organized the information.
“............”
Beside Akashiterika, who continued to concentrate silently, Emi was also deep in thought.
At first, she had her hand on her forehead, glancing at Akashiterika with a slightly apologetic look.
But then, as if she had noticed something—
She also crossed her arms, and tilted her head.
【Teodartes】
He was briefly mentioned by Herotti at the beginning of Arc 23, and they seem to have been acquainted.
