“Harold? The mood seems a little different today…?”
There was a process of meeting Mir in the middle, but today we arrive at this guild hall without any problems.
“What happened between yesterday? You’re approaching me with a slightly different look than usual.”
First, Erina, who had always been waiting for me at the Guild Hall, greeted me, but as soon as I checked my condition, she asked me in a tone mixed with doubt and curiosity.
“It wasn’t really a big deal.”
To be honest, there was no lie in this answer, I just ran into a woman I knew on the road, and I felt a little later than usual, but there was no problem, so I wanted to pass on these excuses.
“Hmm… yes?”
However, she, who usually believed me well, this time, does not trust me and sets up suspicious eyes.

No… Is it that much different from your usual appearance…? Even if I expected it to be a little puzzled, I couldn’t think of an attitude of being wary beyond that.“I don’t think it’s something~? I came in with a much more serious and heavy energy than usual.”

No matter who hears it, he stares sharply as if he can see through a person’s inner side with the same tone as ‘I’m suspicious~’.“Tell me the truth, what happened today or yesterday?”
Like a detective asking for the criminal’s whereabouts, the interrogative tone makes my mouth tremble without realizing it.
“Oh… Judging by the expression on my face, there’s something about me that can catch me?”
Whether I was poor at managing facial expressions or her observation and analysis skills were excellent, I immediately noticed that I was trying to hide something.
Her feelings of suspicion have now turned into certainty, and I am hesitant about how to respond.
To be honest, I was reluctant to convey the exact fact that I met Mir.
Well, she was wary of killing ‘other women’, and for me, she tried to hate and exclude anything that could be the object of reason beyond hostility.
However, it does not stop there, and the sparks always bounce off me, so if I try to relate to Goddess Mirna, they try to weigh me down with dead eyes and a burdensome and overwhelming atmosphere.
And when the time comes when her patience reaches its limit due to the climax of the fire, she will also commit a heinous crime that would turn into a one-way street if she turned around.
“Speak quickly…”
The still and solemn voice pressed me against me, making me feel threatened, as if a knife had been thrust into my throat.

Naturally, I couldn’t confide in everything, and I was only partially willing to say it.“All I did was run into Mir on the way.”
Then he looked at me with darker eyes, and his words were mixed with interest and tone of voice, breaking my mind.
“Hmm~ What happened to the trashy dragon with a nice name, so you came here like a completely different person?”
The expression on Mir’s face, which is laughing at Mir, but not smiling, drives me mentally more and more.
“Tell me what happened.”
If I had to answer this question once, it would be ‘never’.
Still, when the story of Mir came out, there was a lot of fever, but that wasn’t enough, so I thought what would really happen if I confessed what happened to her.
Well, if it was something I did when I ran into Mir, I had my lips plucked out in the name of alleviating the trouble with the curse, and even that was not enough.
Therefore, if possible, the answer to this question should be avoided unconditionally.
It would be nice if you could pass it on like this, but if you can’t avoid the worst situation and the time comes for an answer, you should talk around it as much as possible.
‘I kissed Mir intensely.’ Saying that is suicide, and if it’s just an excuse…
“Say it!!”
“……”

Now that even the tone of my voice is getting rougher, I feel like I need to say something.Well, the nicely packaged words that could persuade her, if it were them, after all, this was the only thing that came to mind.
“It’s just that I got help for a while because I was cursed… I might have felt differently than usual after I continued to struggle and got better.”
At those words, Erina tilted her head, spit out the word curse, and opened her eyes.
“A curse…? Are you under a curse, Harold?!”
Wherever the cold anger of the past has gone, even tears are about to flow, turning into a sad face.
Ah… she doesn’t know…
Well, I didn’t know until I met Mir, and I just found out, so it was natural for me to react like this.
“Ugh… Last time I had the last ordeal, I was hit with a dagger instead of Mir, right? But it must have been a curse…”
At that fact, Erina expressed her astonishment even as she covered her mouth, whether it was more than necessary if it was more than necessary.
“Oh my God… Then it was the aftermath of the curse that caused you to have a seizure?”
“But it’s okay, as I said before, I got better with Mir’s help, so it’s impossible to get a complete cure, so it’s a bit annoying to have to do periodic pickling, but it’s much easier.”
I feel like it’s a bit overkill, but I’m able to successfully twist the flow of the story, so I’m relieved inside.
“That doesn’t mean the underlying problem is gone… shouldn’t we find a way to lift the curse?”
As the worried, tender eyes turned to me, on the other hand, I felt a sense of burden.
“Of course we have to find it, but the treatment Mir gave is really effective, so it’s less than before.”
She smiled faintly as if to be relieved, but Erina crossed her head as best she could.
“No! That’s not the price for making such a face, Harold doesn’t know how painful it was…!”
There were no wrong words, so she smiled bitterly inside, and calmed Erina, who was still excited and raised her voice.
“Of course, I also prioritize lifting the curse right now, so to be honest, until I met Mir, I kept having seizures, both large and small, making my daily life impossible, but for now it will probably be okay.”
Even with those words, he looked at me with a rather vague expression on his face as if he had not yet completely relieved his worries.
However, even in such a gaze, I do not show any expression at all and continue with the naturally conceived speech.
“The reason you felt a slightly different atmosphere is probably the seriousness that stems from the desire to lift the curse that is tormenting me as soon as possible.”
As if he had always been like that, he naturally continued the story and gave a serious look, fortunately, seemed to have convinced him.
“Okay… Then what we’re going to do now is decided.”
Erina, who had her arms crossed and made up her own mind, nodded her head.
“It’s okay, Harold, are you here? We’re going to get through it together as always.”
Having successfully changed the story, I now only talk about the curse without paying much attention to the fact that I was related to Mir.
I thought that I was using Erina for something, and I felt strange.
“Thank you so much, Erina.”
When she smiles in a peaceful tone, she also puts on a lingering smile.
“What do you have this much… nothing compared to you who gave me the meaning of life?”
“……”
Hearing those words still makes me feel overwhelmed by the pressure, but I manage to put up with it.
Even so, Erina continued to help me, so things seemed to get easier.
It’s something I feel every time and I’m grateful for it, but again, no matter what happens, if she’s with me, I’m so reassured.
“By the way, what should I do? ‘Find a way to break the curse.’ I have a goal, but I don’t know how to do it…”
Scratching his head, he sinks into trouble with a profound expression.
“I don’t know because I don’t have any knowledge in black magic or anything like that… Even if the curse is lifted just like slaying a monster without complicated things, wouldn’t it be easy to get rid of it?”
“So, first, shall we go to a cathedral that we know well in such a field and ask for Haeju?”
Erina, who does not know what will happen in front of this, desperately seeks out the knowledge that she can exert herself for me, but her heart alone was enough.
“For now, let’s act as usual, and the worry about seizures has been half resolved thanks to Mir, so there’s no rush.”
It may feel a little carefree, but I try to wrap it up in plausible words and suggest it to her.
According to Mir, even though it happened in the pagans, there may be clues to the pagans, so it should be related to heretics as much as possible.
In my opinion, there was a story that had to be intertwined with heretics, even if I prayed that I would not like it in any main story.
And the remaining progress until that time was reached was neither close nor far away.
So, I didn’t know that it might be more important to follow the main story, which is centered on her, as usual, rather than just looking for a way.
“If you say so… Okay…”
Showing some anxiety, he nodded his head reluctantly.
“I’ll do it as usual, but if you get too damned of a curse, you’re going to find a way right away?”
In my opinion, you have to go this way! I want to say that, but I can’t give the basis for that statement, so I too had to forcefully raise my head.
“Ugh… So today, let’s go take the quest as we normally do today.”
With those words, I headed towards the bulletin board.
By the way…
“…?”
It was momentary at the sudden throbbing heart, but it stopped.
I don’t know exactly what this is, but I know for sure what it feels like.
pain caused by the curse

Normally, I would have struggled with the pain enough to cause seizures, but it was enough to say that the treatment that Mir forcibly administered was effective rather than just a stimulus rather than a pain.“What’s wrong, Harold?”
I was puzzled by my sudden stop, but I didn’t know what the reason was.
Once again, admiring and grateful for Mir, she naturally continues her acting.
“It’s nothing, let’s go.”
As Mir said, it wasn’t completely gone and the curse was still inside me, but thanks to the measures she made, it was as if it wasn’t there.
What should I say if we meet again…
By the way, if I have to do today’s work again… Mir and Jinhan again
Shaking my head
He wipes away the delusions that will often go away until he leaves, and then maintains a peaceful smile again without any hesitation.
This should be no problem… For the time being, you can proceed with the story with confidence.

Now… wait, the main story of the new chapter.In the game, there were three chapters within the big frame of the main story.
The first is the royal road where the main stage is the early part of the guild hall that we are currently living in.
Second, the academy that signals the middle of the story and will be the main stage for cult quests.
At the end of the third and final part, you will head to another continent.
Here’s what I should keep an eye on is the mid-chapter, the Academy.
As I said before, in the academy chapters, you have to be associated with pagans countless times.
Therefore, I thought that this was the best time of all in this cursed situation, as I had to investigate heretics as a clue to break this curse.
It’s still the first chapter, but we’ve reached the second half, and there’s not much left until the second chapter, the Academy, so we need to hurry.
◆◆◆
I was serious about it, but…
How did this happen…
The next quest could not create such an atmosphere at all.
“Harold!”
A cute little girl with red hair running from afar waving to me
“How are you? It suits you well?!”
Erina whirls around her body and asks me for a review
“Look at me too, haven’t your eyes been fixed on that girl from a while ago?”
Mir was also desperate to steal my sight.
“……”

No, in the first place, both of them were dressed so shamefully that they couldn’t see anyone properly, so they were wandering about where to put their eyes.“It’s been a long time in the sea~ The wind is cool today, so it feels good!”
It was right in front of me right now, with two girls clinging to me in swimsuits that were perceived as slightly provocative.

No, no matter how much the quest location is at the beach, I didn’t come here to play… But this is a perfect vacation atmosphere…Just two hours ago, I had all kinds of moods and moods in my mind, thinking about what to do, but the scene unfolding like this makes me lose my mind.
“No, so Harold! How about my swimsuit!”
I feel frustrated because I keep procrastinating on replies and grab my arm.
“Look at me too!”
It’s not just me, but Mir, who has not been noticed, also grabs the other side and makes me in trouble.
poing~
“…..”
It’s like an embarrassing sound effect, creating an illusion and adding heat to your cheeks.
I really don’t know where to put my eyes…
“Let’s go into the sea together!”
“Ooh… I want you to look at me too!”
The two of them were wearing bikinis that fit each other and were so close to me that I couldn’t stand it and open my eyes…
