Curse
“You disgrace of the tribe! Why are you alive!”
“……hah! Lot, stop it! Water Bind!”
Queen Titania, who was stunned by the sudden happening but came back to her senses, stops the Elf man who’s about to strike Marin-san again with her Magic.
During that time, Sieg stands in such a way that he shields Marin-san, and the other bodyguards stand in such a way that they protect the Kings of the respective countries. It’s a powder keg atmosphere.
“Plea-, please let go, Titania-sama! If this cursed woman is by our side, misfortune will befall the people around! We have to quickly get rid of her!”
“……this fellow”
Oh no. Sieg is about to take his spear out from his Item Box. It’s really gonna be bad if it goes any further.
“What are you doing!”
I finally come close to Marin-san and the others and stand in such a way that I shield Marin-san as well. Before I’m about to ask Queen Titania what’s going on, the Elf man
“Leivelt-dono! Please banish that woman from this place right away! That woman is a cursed woman!”
“What are you saying……cursed?”
This Elf man. Don’t tell me, he’s talking about Marin-san’s eyes? But, she hasn’t shown her face here even once here until just now; how did he know even though her eyes weren’t seen?
“What do you mean?”
President Obbarman who was over there with a smile, asks the Elf man. Despite being restrained, the Elf man talks about Marin-san’s eyes.
“I hate to say, but that woman is born from my tribe. I think everybody knows as well; that those whose eyes are of different colour are said to be cursed. That would be this woman!”
I can tell that, at the Elf man’s words, the people around are holding their breath. And then, the one who responded to that was
“What did you say! Leivelt-dono, chase that woman out right away! We’re going to end up being cursed as well!”
Emperor Rozbell. This fellow. Bloody getting all up in arms only at times like these. Don’t burrow into the troublesome issue. Besides, there’s no way she’s cursed, right!
However, I suppose the ones who know that are pretty much us, His Majesty Nanor who’d hired Marin-san knowing her circumstances, and Pope Gilford who has close ties with us.
The reason for this difference in eye colour is due to a curse; that’s the story that has been passed around this continent. In reality, King Helience and President Obbarman, they’re letting their disdain towards Marin-san show.
It looks like the Beast King doesn’t really care though. Well, the Beastfolk Race is a race that places strength above all else after all. They might not care much.
“So what about it?”
As I was about to say that there’s no harm, there’s a loud sound going ‘Zudoon!‘. When I tried taking a look in the direction of the sound, the sight of Shishou who has swung her greatsword down onto the table was over there.
……there are various things I want to say, but I’d like it if you didn’t give in to your anger and break the table. I understand quite well the feelings of wanting to do that. I also want to do it as well after all. I understand, but I didn’t want to break that table…….
As for why……it’s because that’s a borrowed item. As expected, we didn’t have enough time to prepare a magnificent table that’ll satisfy the Kings of the respective countries, so I’d borrowed it from the Nanor Kingdom……but it ended up brilliantly in two.
The Prime Minister who knows that they’ve lent it is lamenting, ‘the Royal Palace’s table……’ with a pale face. Sorry Prime Minister. It’ll be compensated……by Shishou.
That Shishou in question, she shoulders her greatsword, unconcerned about something like that, and walks all the way to the Elf man.
“Wha-, what is the matter, Sylphid-sama?”
The Elf man, struck by Shishou’s killing intent, is shaking clatteringly, but Shishou moves closer, showing no concern for that.
If that person releases her killing intent for real, she can kill a wyvern and whatnot with just that after all. Now, she’s still suppressing it, but depending on that man’s words, people might end up dying.
“It’s true that there’s such a folklore on the continent. However, is that a reason to abandon a kid who’s still a few years old in the forest!”
The Pope nods at Shishou’s words. The Pope probably took offense the Elf man’s words since he has been treating Caro who was met with the same circumstances with love; he had an angry expression until just now, but it has returned to normal now.
However, at this rate, Shishou will end up going on a rampage. I’ve got to stop her.
“Shishou, please calm down! Things will get out of hand if Shishou goes on a rampage!”
“Move away, Lei! I’d been keeping quiet thus far so that I don’t embarrass Nee-san, but I can’t endure any more than this!”
Oh shit! Shishou’s Magic Power is rising! If she uses her Magic here, all hell will break loose! As I was thinking
“Hey, won’t you calm down, Sylphi-”
“That’s right. You can’t cause trouble for Lei, you know?”
Anima-san and Hilde-san grabbed Shishou’s arms and stopped her for me. Levine-san had come all the way beside me before I knew it, and Varty-san is prepared to use her Magic at any time so that no harm comes to the people around.
“……my bad, Lei. Nee-san as well, sorry”
“It’s fine. It’s because I didn’t get things in order. Drago, bring him along”
“Hah!”
At Queen Titania’s words, the Dragonoid Race man shoulders the Elf man, who was struck by Shishou’s killing intent and fainted, and brings him along.
It looks like Marin-san also ended up fainting from excessive anxiety. Sieg was about to carry Marin-san but
“Wait, Chichiue. I’m thinking of letting her rest at my mansion today”
“Un? Why?”
“My mansion is closer from here, and there’s also something I want to talk to her about beforehand after she wakes up. That’s why”
“…..is that so, I got it. I’ll leave her to Lei if that’s the case. In that case, I’ll carry her to the room, so tell me the location”
“I got it. Wait for a bit. Alexia, sorry, but can you call Caro over. Also, I’d like you to also convey to the Pope that there’s something I want to talk about”
“……I got it”
Perhaps she got what I want to do, Alexia nods obediently. I might get scolded by the Pope, but it’s the chance to talk about what I’m thinking of.
