Promising to Raz to come and see how things were going regularly, me and Ville pulled up from the cabin. Then I spent the night looking after patients and looking into the surroundings of the village.

I had an active conversation with the villagers. I also dispensed lotion and aromatic oil to the women.

I've had a lot of thoughts, but I'm glad I didn't get depressed. No, rather, they're asking me about the broken engagement to the prince. Women are always greedy for beauty and gossip.

My seriously ill patient's capacity was stable, so me and Ville were allowed to rest in the inn. By the way, it is addressed to the next single room.

When I was up late at night, I summoned Ville to my room. Next to me - showing me to sit on the bed made me look a little shy, but in the end I honestly followed.

"Ha..."

Tired.

Ville's body stiffened when it came to sloppiness. There is a smell of soap in each other's baths.

I just want to see how many seconds Ville can withstand, but I guess that's just careless. Or maybe this is sexual harassment, and I gently slapped Bill on my back so he would work harder.

... Surprised. I wondered what he looked like, and Ville looked down at me worried. A delightful, complicated mood to be treated like a child and angry.

I cough up and get back in shape. Let's keep the play to this extent. Heavy talk is withheld.

I decided to let you report it first.

"How'd it go with Raz?

"... seemed better than noon. I got my meal, my blanket, and I left the lights."

Ville had an unfloating look. You'll remember your childhood and feel like you're not doing it.

"We should force Raz into a decent place, though. If you're not infected, you can leave the village, right? If you can't leave this village right now, I'll..."

"No, you can't. Don't do anything to buy Raz's objection. It could be terrible."

Ville took a breath and clenched her fist. Did my voice convey the seriousness of the matter?

"... I want to hear more about the daytime story. Isn't it demonic disease that's spreading to this village?

I nod back.

"This village is cursed. No, it's not just this village. Perhaps all the infected areas in Mariala territory are the same."

"Curse? What the hell is that?"

"Somebody's using a spell like the villagers get sick. But such a massive curse is unprecedented. It's no longer terrorism. I don't want to believe it in many ways."

The curse is what the strong negative mental power of the operator has converted into and expressed in magical energy. The big premise is that there is enough intense hatred to want to kill the target audience.

Of course, no matter how much hate the average person makes you hate, you don't express a curse. Unless the surgeon has a talent for witchcraft. That is proven by history.

"There are many different kinds of curses, but the point of making people suffer and kill is common. I wonder if they are aiming to resemble the symptoms of demonic disease this time. If so, you're researching a pretty curse. Originally, the curse artist should be insane and not in a decent state to think about..."

It is further said that the curse will cut the life of the surgeon.

It's just mental power that kills people. That's about as risky as it sounds.

Not to mention this village this time. Perhaps every village in Mariala territory is cursed.

There are people who hate people who live on such a wide scale?

That's risky, too.

Normally, the operator dies before the damage is so widespread.

It's just impossible. But I can't think of anything but a curse, so I'm in trouble.

The most tragic curse in history occurred a hundred years ago.

The royalty of a certain country died one person at a time overnight, and eventually civil unrest broke out and the country itself perished. The killer was the witch Cuprana, who had been imprisoned on charges of causing the drought.

Cuprana was debilitated by the load of curses. The dried bodies were torn to pieces by the hands of the people and burned to the fire, he said.

At that time, there were ten royalties who died as a direct curse.

It seems that nearly a hundred people have already died in Mariala territory, so if the curse is really the cause, it's going to be a huge update on the worst in history.

"I don't know... I hear my witchkiller was made by a magician using a spell, but isn't it?

"The witchkiller is only giving the sword the effect of disabling witchcraft, so it's nothing like the curse we're talking about right now. Though it is said that the use of witch blood is a kind of witch's curse"

I sigh.

"Curse. The development of a precisely“ spell that definitely kills someone without risk ”is one of the Witch's" Seven Prohibited Tests "taboos. Because once the method is established, you can kill all you want."

If I could kill people while they were far apart, the world order would collapse at once.

You can kill all those in power, or you can blackmail them to obey you. It is not impossible to conquer the world. That's why it's a magic trick that shouldn't happen.

"But you think that 'Seven Forbidden Tests' is actually happening? What makes you think that?"

"That's a big reason to think it's a curse, not a demonic disease, that it's not a natural way to spread. Yeah, but I don't think this one's a zero-risk spell. I think they're devising ways to mitigate the risk of the surgeon paying. And what your brother told me caught my eye."

My brother said. "One day, suddenly, the infection stops perfectly throughout the village, and the patient recovers dramatically. Doctors and magicians are looking into the cause, but they still don't know why '.

"A curse, they say, if you set the operator's body on fire, it will go away. Massive curse, and the surgeon must have died of debilitation. The curse was broken by the cremation of it in the villages as the sick and dead."

"What? I mean..."

"You mean there's not one surgeon, there's a lot of them. Organized crime... I think Mr. Mastermind in the Weird Case is thick"

If there were so many criminal organizations in Mistria, there would be trouble.

But I don't know what the purpose is. Don't you want to build rose jewels?

You don't have to bother to curse and kill the people, even if it's a collection of materials.

It's quicker to sneak up on what you think, kill and take it away.

"Wait a minute. I don't know. You're mitigating the risk of a curse and the surgeon's dead? Doesn't make sense."

"That there are two magicians for one curse. It divides the roles into two parts. He who has a strong hatred for the target audience, who cuts his life and curses it, and who supports it by his magical talent. The latter is probably a witch."

Ville was out of line.

A witch who wants to terrorize but doesn't want to pay the risk.

A human who wants to curse and kill his target even if he pays the risk, but doesn't know how to do it.

Witches with means and those with motives.

The two hands together and exercise the spell.

If you think about it, Tsujitsu fits.

Symptom weights and infection rates varied from region to region because of the different intensity and extent of hate.

Some patients in Mariala territory suffered from general pain as much as they punched around. So that's all they resented me for.

Some of the operatives hate the whole village, while others hate only the three houses.

And there was no damage in the area without the operator to pay the risk.

The witch of the killer must have found and used a strong hater on every piece of the land. And make him curse until he dies. So you're throwing away your collaborators.

"No way...... is that possible?

"I think it's theoretically possible. But in order to actually express the curse beautifully, we need decades of research. As with the recipe of immortality, perhaps the recipe of the curse is passed down pulsatingly among the witches."

When something like this happens, it makes me wonder if a witch should perish.

Ville has shut up.

To be honest with you too, I'm on my way.

What do you think would happen if we exposed ourselves that this curse terrorist attack was the work of a witch?

It's not like when it's a weird case. Worst case scenario, the witch hunt may be restarted by an angry folk.

I don't expect King Mistria to stop me. I might rather think about taking this opportunity to kill me.

After a heavy silence, Ville opened her fearful mouth.

"So, Raz..."

"You will be one of the sorcerers pushed into the role of paying risk and being used by witches. That kid's eyes, they had rough colors as if he hated everything in the world.... and it's quite debilitating. Looks like they're cutting lives."

A boy who wants to see this village perish. Those with such strong hatred, they don't.

Besides, I've talked to other villagers somewhat, but it sounds like there's no one but Raz who hates this village wholeheartedly. The critically ill say they were adults who were kicking Raz off on a daily basis, or children who were pounding down on him and abusing him.

It will be almost certain.

"This has to stop now"

"I can't. Not as long as that kid wants. If you try to interfere, you could be the object of a curse to me and Ville."

"Then how can I help everyone!?"

Guys. I laughed lightly.

"It's easy to decurse the villagers. All you have to do is kill Raz and set him on fire. But it's hard to help Raz. There are three ways, but none of them have enough time."

I told Ville one thing at a time and made her listen.

"Do you want to unravel Raz's hatred, find and kill another sorcerer, the witch, or go to Cathedral Spiritual Mountain and fetch tear silver Shizuku"

The first, removing hate from Raz's heart.

You don't have to put it into words to see how difficult that is. The resentment that has been abused for years does not disappear easily.

Second, even another sorcerer's witch can't be easily found.

Worst case scenario, I'm not in this neighborhood and might be looking for someone to pay the risk in the next area.

The third is the Cathedral Spiritual Mountain, which rises in the centre of the continent. Any curse can be forcibly broken if it is recognized by the heavenly curse on its summit and given a holy water called Tear Silver Shizuku "Lumitia". It's called "chi and aim”.

By the way, this is the method used by Emelda and the others to break the curse of the prince in the original "Later”. Spirit Mountain had a lot of ferocious warcraft and tricks to make sure our people were bonded, and we had a hard time attacking them.

"All of this will take time. But today, tomorrow, but the villagers could die. Even Raz won't have that for days in that condition. If one Laz sacrifices now, there are many lives to be saved"

Unless you kill a witch, there will continue to be damage elsewhere, though. It will sneeze on the spot.

"Is Sonia going to kill Raz?

"I don't have the authority to decide that. This is no longer a case to report to your brother and ask for instructions."

"To the Lordship..."

"You're getting lost in my personal opinion. It's also important to help villagers, but I also think we should get information about witches and spells from Raz"

I just want to fix everything if I can, but I'm just loaded. My brother told me to leave the crime scene to the judgment of the crime scene, but not if it's a witchcraft curse, not a demonic disease. I can't take it personally.

"I can fly a dragon bird first thing tomorrow morning to reward you.... I'll tell you first, my brother chooses the minimum sacrifice he needs. That's who I am."

I'm sure my brother doesn't prioritize his life. I mean, I don't flatter Raz because he's pathetic. Choose a path that helps more than one person in cold blood.

Ville closed her eyes in an unsatisfactory manner. Looks like Raz is completely emotional, too. I can't help it though......

But, you know, we have to worry about ourselves, don't we?

The backdrop to the weird case is not less malicious to me.

Now that I'm away from the cruise, there's a chance that something will set me up.

If you hear back from your brother, you should head back to Crewege with Ville.

"Fortunately, now Raz's mind is calm and the patient's capacity is stable. I think there will be a respite tomorrow or so. Let me keep it under magic control. So let's wait for your brother's reply."

Ville laid her eyes down in agony.

"Even you, there's nothing you can do?

There was pale despair in Ville's golden eyes.

I wish I was blunt, but unfortunately I've noticed.

Compared.

Miss Emelda would not give up even in this situation and would try to help everyone. In fact, until now, I've done something with my strength. Sounds like the heroine of the story.

But reality isn't sweet.

No protagonist has been promised victory in this world. That's what I think.

"I'm sorry I've betrayed my expectations, but I do my best for myself and the things I care about. That's all... Ville, don't take it personally"

I'm being harsh. I knew I shouldn't have brought Ville.

"Okay. I have no choice. Obey the Lord's judgment... I'm sorry"

Ville went back to her room with a sunken look.

It's going to be a sleepless night for each other. Bad for your skin.

Be alone, for now, go in the futon and close your eyes.

My chest is spreading.

If I can't save Raz, Ville will let me down. That's not funny. It makes no sense if a villager dies in a time-over.

I can't make a curse medicine.

It will take at least two weeks for me to get to Spirit Mountain and come back. Tears Silver Shizukuishi is not a lightly transferable thing, so you won't get it no matter how much money you pile up.

Actually, I have a trick to bring out the witch once and for all. But it's a childish operation. I don't think I'm going to get caught...... you wouldn't be that stupid.

I want to smash the curtain of a weird case, but I feel like it's a pot I would think if I cut the front and challenged the fight. I don't know the size or purpose of the organization.

I'm getting angry gradually.

I wonder why I have to bother my head so much.

Refrain from jumping on your immediate money in the future. I've learned that you just get caught up in every mess.

I made up my mind.

Withdraw information from Raz while waiting for a response from your brother. If there's still nothing we can do about it... let's give it up.

It's pathetic, but I can't do anything with just feelings. Even Ville should understand, even if it can't be broken right away.

I can't save everything like Miss Emelda. You can't just greedily lose sight of your key purpose in trying to save everything. I came to this village to save more than one person.

But to put it the other way, what Miss Emelda can't do, I can.

I brought the euthanasia medicine. I'm ready to get my hands dirty. I won't hesitate when the time comes.

... It's unpleasant to hang out with Miss Emelda though.

Until the next morning, there was an incident.

One villager died suddenly, and Ville was cursed and fell.

And Raz disappeared.
