Several days ago, when Aiden asked Meiruki for a favor.
"...That's none of your concern." In the meeting room, Aiden finished replying to Meiruki on the other side of the iron table, then broached another subject, "Besides that, there's something else I want you to do."
"Please, command me."
"Since you are so proficient in pharmacology, can't you make a potion that feigns death?" Aiden asked.
"Feigned death?" Meiruki didn't catch on at once.
"I mean a potion that makes the consumer lose all signs of life for a while, indistinguishable from actual death, yet with the application of a remedy, they can be brought back to life. Do you have such a potion?" Aiden asked again.
Aiden had heard of potions that induce fake death in various fictional stories in his previous life; however, these potions did not actually exist in the world he came from.
