When I felt someone was calling me to clear my ears, my consciousness surfaced. I hear I'm still alive.

Noisy outside the room. Ka-chan, and a dog voice.

When I slowly opened my eyes, the room was a lot darker. The lamp on the pillow is slightly glowing and I can manage to look around.

... I don't have Sonia.

I was terribly upset about that.

Sure, he said he'd be by his side until night. Did you go check on the other patients, or did things work out?

My body may just be spicy and weak, but I can't stop making chest noises.

"Stop it, or the sick are asleep."

When I started hearing the noise scratching the door, I also heard a man. Probably the owner of the inn.

I scolded my brain trying to fall asleep again, inspired my body heavy as lead, and I headed to the door as I crawled.

"Hey, are you okay?

When I opened the door, my innkeeper was just about to hold a rambling chill. Chill looked at me and raised her voice of joy, quickly entering the room.

"I'm sorry I woke you up. I left it with Sonia, but she ran away at some point. Here, dog. If you want a walk, I'll do it. Come on."

Chill roared hidden in my feet. Peeling is going to break my bones.

"Fine. More so, Sonia, where...?

"I just left the inn. I haven't heard where you're going.... Yeah, but I was getting some letters, so maybe I could do some urgent business."

Someone summoned me, and Sonia seems to have left.

Could be a messenger from Lord Sunnig. Have you come to a conclusion about the treatment of Raz?

The fact that my body is still eroded like this means at least Raz hasn't been set on fire yet. I guess they haven't found it.

"Anyway, you should go back to bed and sleep. You look terrible. If you need anything, I'll bring it."

"It's okay...... but can I keep the chills? Because you're not supposed to get used to animals."

The innkeeper seems to be telling me not to leave the room.

If you think it's a contagious disease, it's a natural response. They have no more vacancies in the assembly hall where the patients in the village are being quarantined, and they have no choice but to put me to sleep in this room. Since only doctors and magicians seconded by Lord Sunnig are staying at this inn right now, there will be no complaints.

I bowed my head to the innkeeper and closed the door.

But he looks up at me like Chill complains about something and pulls his trouser hem like he's going outside.

It doesn't look like they're taking a walk. I guess I'm worried about Raz. I'm worried about Sonia, too.

Gradually, I'm starting to feel like I'm desperately begging for help "give me a hand". I'm not optimistic enough to ignore this and sleep. If I don't follow Chill's appeal, I feel like I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

"Ok...... I'll go"

When he answered, Chilu growed up and shook his tail bluntly.

I took off my clothes for the sick, changed my clothes, and got the witchkiller. Again and again, kneel on the floor. Hell, my head wobbled and it was hard to walk properly.

With that said, and remove the bottle with thunder salt crystals from the luggage.

It is a replacement for the medication. Don't hesitate to chew the shards out with your back teeth. Much clearer head for intense irritation. I hear salt has the power to corrupt evil. Can it withstand the curse a little?

Confirming that there was no sign of the innkeeper in the hallway, I borrowed the lamp and left the room with Chilu. I manage to leave the inn behind without anyone witnessing me.

Chill said, "This way! Follow me!" and rush out to the back of the mountain with all the momentum. I followed him as fast as I could right now.

I don't know where Sonia or Raz are. I just had to believe in chills.

He fell many times, cutting his skin with a tree branch, and his breath climbed inclined constantly. If there's nothing ahead of Chill, I'll have to laugh. You'll die shipwrecked like this. There is no more power just to turn back the same distance.

I don't know. A sense of impatience pushed my back and drove the dark mountain forward.

If Sonia and Raz are in a pinch, now I'm just gonna pull my leg.

Still going. My mind and body want that. I can't think of anything difficult.

"What...?

The perimeter was brighter for a moment and I heard an explosion in the front. Someone is fighting. Neither Chill's call nor my heartbeat was a mistake.

I swung my last strength and I hurried.

"Sonia!"

And I witnessed it. Where the Lord is falling with blood everywhere.

Sonia was ravaged by a herd of snakes and was being ambushed by a black robe woman. The light of sorcery is floating, and I know exactly how it is. The contents of her belly were exposed unmistakably. My skin is covered in holes and bloodstained.

"Ah... oh... eh"

It's a lie. It's impossible.

It's like Sonia's dead.

It drew blood from my whole body, and I stood still. Probably supposed to be a few seconds in real life, but I couldn't get around for long as if the world had stopped.

Chill yelled at me and I finally went back to sanity. At the end of Chill's run was a big nan, and the razz hung. He also didn't know if he was alive.

"How could you!? Why don't you have a jewel!

The woman in the black robe was confused, and she didn't even react when I showed up. As soon as I saw a piece of flesh creeping up in one hand of the woman, blood rose slightly on her head.

This woman killed Sonia.

Strange and mindful, I understood the situation at once. This is the wicked witch who used Raz to curse the village. Sonia fought to kill the witch, but she must have lost using cowardly hands such as being shielded by Raz. I guess I was uncovering my belly because Sonia misidentifies me as having rose jewels......

"Huh!"

After that, my body moved on its own.

Without the witchkiller, I was about to slaughter a woman.

Noticing a flash of red blades, the woman left Sonia. A sword sweeps at the woman's neck, and blood smoke makes a noise and rises. Proof that the person you slaughtered is a witch.

"Come on!"

I could hear the tongue pounding. I felt like tongue-in-cheek, too. Normally, I could not avoid my neck, but my body didn't follow me. Flirting and restarting the sword.

You can burn out all the blood vessels and nerves.

You don't have to stop your body moving again.

I don't mind discussing it.

I will never forgive you. At any rate, I will give this woman death. I'll taste the pain!

The hatred that boiled out of the bottom of my heart burst into tears and accumulated in my eyes.

"How did you get here... and I didn't know you could move cursed by it.... Well, fine. You were one foot late, Ville Obsidia. You look better than I ever imagined!

At, the woman shrugged her shoulders as she smiled nasty. Your body moves unnaturally. Maybe I can't move my right arm.

"As you can see, that damn busty little girl died. I'm sorry, too. I thought I'd get the jewels because of you...... I don't need you here anymore. Shall I spare your guts and show mercy? As you may know, if you burn Raz's boy, you can break the curse. Survive. I'm sure he wants it too."

I kicked the ground hard and waved my sword.

A curse?

I don't care anymore. It was not something I learned about myself or the village.

I couldn't protect Sonia. I lost it as soon as I swore I would stick with it for the rest of my life.

The passion seemed to be burning itself. I'm sorry if I didn't kill the woman in front of me and tear her apart unharmed.

But an endless boiling snake held back every blow I rolled out. You felt frustrated. The witchkiller grows more radiant.

"Ha!"

I didn't mind being bitten by a snake. I stepped in deep and shouted my sword to the side.

The woman's arm flew as the flashy blood smoke rose. A scream beyond hearing is thrown out of the woman's mouth.

I forgot to breathe. My body was over the limit on the offense. They suck all the magic out of witchkillers and get on one knee on the spot.

"Damn, damn it! What a guy! Looks like you should just disperse. VILLE OBSIDIA! Make sure you pay for this arm one day!

It was faster for a woman to get back on her feet. Doesn't look as painless. The slashed arm may not have been through the nerves. Screwed up.

"Wait!"

Will you let him get away here? I managed to get up, but the magic of light disappeared and the woman's figure melted into darkness. I lost sight of it.

My heart was about to be dominated by despair, then.

"- Eggs eaten by darkness and eternal. Spinned, resistant to flow, cracked shell]

Rin's voice echoed in the darkness.

And intense light dyes vision.

[Blood, flame, devour the lives of my enemies - Ramias Phoenico]

Two colored firepillars went up.

There's a red and black flame wrapped around the black robe woman's leg. All the snakes that were around me were extinguished in an instant.

"Ghaaaa! Why!? Why! Ahhh."

A woman dances trying to escape the flames. The woman's eyes were behind me, directed at another mass of flames.

"Sonia...!?"

There stood a girl wrapped in white flames.

Even though its mysterious appearance is like an angel, it is as powerful as a demon.

She wiped the blood from her mouth flat and gave a grin. My skin and hair are burning white. Wouldn't it be hot, I thought of something dumb.

"Haha!

Raising her childlike innocent voice, Sonia twists the red and black flames. The woman in the black robe was in agony, calling in the serpent, but in vain.

He looked crazy and Sonia was manipulating the flames precisely. Not allowing the woman to resist, the serpent is swallowed by one disastrous flame after another.

feet, torso, neck, and face.

A woman's skin was burned and her flesh was found to be boiling. But still unable to breathe, the woman opened her eyes and continued to scream.

"Ha, help......!

My legs are extinguished and I collapse, and the woman is left with a fire that just bursts on the ground.

I was unconsciously holding my mouth down, filled with stench that seemed crazy all around me.

It's as miserable as blowing away the joy that Sonia lived.

"If you want to help, I've heard a lot about you in the village. It's all the words of the people you've tormented. You did something you shouldn't have done... disappear."

The moment Sonia squeaked pale, the red and black flames exploded. Burning was not a man's nor his form nor his colour.

"Ah..."

My body fluttered and suddenly became lighter. They broke the curse with the woman's death. But really not now.

The flames shriveled and disappeared from Sonia's body as well.

Silence dominated the scene. The lamp thrown out on the ground is emitting unreliable light.

"... Sonia!

I reacted aggressively to support her fluttering body.

When I hugged her, she felt lukewarm and vid.... blood.

But there were no burns or scratches on Sonia's skin. There's nothing wrong with the belly that was torn. Even though the clothes are worn out and are stained with a lot of blood.

"What do you mean... you, no way -"

There was only one thing I could think of.

Something that allows such super recovery...... rose jewels.

Was Aronia's research complete? Or was it made by Sonia?

You said you didn't have it all over me or Sedonil.

But it didn't seem to be in Sonia's belly.

Can it also be used hidden in other areas? Or...

"Ville... I didn't think you were really coming. That's a big loyal dog..."

An unfocused red eye looked up at me blurry.

"Are you okay!? Hey!

"It's okay, it's okay.... Ville came and honestly saved me. I've earned time to regenerate, and if they messed with the contents more than that, they could have just died... peeking into the gaps was the limit. You're out of control."

Hehe, laughing powerlessly, Sonia closed her eyes. I was half frenzied. Desperately call Sonia's name to connect consciousness.

"Ville, if you can move, take Raz back to the village. It might still help now..."

"Wow, okay! You too..."

"I'll see you later."

"Ha!?"

"You can't show this to anyone. It'll be hard to explain...... I'm fine. I'm not going to die..."

Go quickly, Sonia commanded in a fine voice.

I was so bitter. The same is true of Sonia, who still seems to be breathless. I want to take you with me.

But we cannot do anything to the detriment of the Lord. Sonia is in a difficult position.

What if a rumor reaches the witches' ears that they have rose jewels...

"I'll be right back!

He held a razz that was unconscious at the root of Da Nan and hurried down the mountain with Chilu. A creepy black mole had disappeared from Raz's body. There's just a few strangled moles left.

When we reached the village, we deposited the raz with the doctor and magician seconded by Lord Sunnig. The villagers, who had fallen under the curse, had recovered one after the other, and the assembly hall had become a fuss despite the late evening.

I thought they would ask me for an explanation, but as soon as they found out I wasn't hurt or anything, they freed me. The doctors began to concentrate on extending their lives because Raz's body was competing for a moment.

I strongly hoped in my heart that you would help me.

Chill rang a "kick-ass". I feel like I'm being thanked, but I can't respond now. I borrow the blanket that was loaded and give it back my heel.

I didn't feel like it. If Sonia dies while she's away, if she's gone.

Fear was about to crush my heart.

... Sonia slept bloody in her original place.

I wrapped Sonia around my blanket and carried her back and went down the mountain again. The body was completely chilled out because of the blood and the night breeze. Plus, it's amazingly light.

An unreliable heartbeat and breathing take calm away from me. I felt like I was seeing something very unreasonable, and I wanted to cry. I don't know why anymore.

I managed to get to Sonia's room in the inn without anyone blaming me. Everyone seems obsessed with the rally hall noise.

"Thanks...... Ville"

"Were you awake?

"Yeah. Take me down in the bath. Blood is disgusting."

As they say, I took Sonia to the bathroom. I started taking off the clothes that were sticking with blood ramblingly, so I rushed out. It seemed to work normally. I finally felt my shoulder load come down in many ways.

I also went back to Sonia's room dressed full of blood in my room, wiped the hallway of the room I had defiled, and did all sorts of evidence obliteration. I'm so tired.

"... hey, you okay?

I've heard showers all the time from the bathroom, but I haven't heard back. It will take time to shed all that creepy blood......

"Are we going in?

I called five times and there was no response, so I stepped into the bathroom after a bitter choice.

... As you can see, Sonia had fallen and lost her mind.

"Oh, shit!

Naturally, it looks like a piece of shit. On smooth white skin, the rich curves only poisoned the eyes. My face gets so hot that I wonder if the curse is coming back again. I shook my head sideways unconsciously.

I am a loyal squire. You can't leave the Lord alone like this.

Don't think. Don't feel it. Don't remember.

Wipe Sonia's body with a bath towel. Of course I tried not to look at it. I mean, you're supposed to be doing the right thing, but you were attacked by intense guilt, and it wasn't the other way around.

... I gave up getting dressed. I can't touch my underwear in the first place. I can't do this.

Wrap it around in a new blanket and put it to bed.

Sonia's body is still cold. Her face was blue and white and her fingertips seemed frozen. I can't help but be anxious if my pulse is steady.

Should I still call a doctor? But Sonia's body has a hell of a secret. I can't do anything bad, and I just don't think a doctor can do anything about it.

I fall with a curse. I hold her hand, just like Sonia did to me.

so that the fever returns at all. So that my wish can come.

"Please, wake up quickly..."
