16-55 Sage's Tower (4)

Satou here Unlike in fictional stuff such as detective a or dra every tiot to a new place Peaceful every day life is the best you know

◇

"What's the big trouble?"

"Karina she's~"

"Come with us nanodesu!"

Pulled by Tah the shadow

After co out of a back alley, we arrived at an open space near Kariswolk City's outer wall

So see down looking ill

There are fireplaces burning here and there in the open space, also traces of people distributing food here

--Is it food poisoning?

"Hurrya~"

"Master, come here nanodesu!"

Taht point that indicated Lady Karina

"Master, over here"

Liza called ht point

Lady Karina is sitting down next to a watering hole in the center of the open space

"Karina-sama, are you okay?"

"Satou"

Lady Karina looked at me with a pained look when I called her

Her condition is displayed on the AR reading on top of her

--State [Curse: Progressing]

I would have never iined that there would be an abnormal status Raka cannot cure

Looks like Lady Karina has been cursed by soet son country like her, so I checked on the other ill-looking people around

Sure enough, the people here are cursed as well

I search for everyone with a [Curse] state and put roup thee the color

"Master~?

"Will Karina be okay nanodesu?"

Ta really worried

"Ah yeah, she'll be fine"

I sic [Return Curse]-type froic list

There's this spell that would return the curse back to its user multi folds, [Karma (Space Return Curse)], but I pass over that as it would likely kill the target

--Curse Back: Home In (Return Curse Chaser)

I pick a convenient spell that would trace the curse back to its user while also returning it back

Once I used the spell, black miasma came out of Lady Karina's body, then it turned into a cutout-like crow, and flew to the sky--

"Nyu?"

"It's gone nodesu"

But for some reason, it was repulsed and then disappeared when it was about to fly over the water

Normally, it should have flown back to the curse's user, but apparently, there was some kind of anti Return Cursewas stopped midway

But for now, since Lady Karina's abnorone back to [None], all's well

And for other people with Curse status, rather than using [Return Curse] on theic [Divine Brilliant Purification] and cure theht when I was about to cast the spell froic list, Tanified bymosquito that had been cut in two

Oh, it's just a mosquito--wait, ht when I was thinking that, my conversation with Arisa flashed back on s were the vector of the va, no way, I read the info of the falling mosquito

Its species na for [Vanificant anore this, thus I operate ic [Air Control] to a sub-space I created using space etting sucked in, but it's not like anyone would be troubled if theone rat that had fallen into the same condition as Lady Karina earlier, I cast the [Divine Brilliant Purification], and purified the crouching people who had been cursed in the open space all at once

Quite a flashy light filled the open space, but we're the only one ould pay it any mind here, so no problem there

◇

"So what actually happened here?"

"There was this little kid who broke a pot nodesu"

"The adult was going to hit that kid with a stick~"

"He was going to hit her with a stick nodesu!"

I sort out the info in my head while Tama and Pochi continue on with their narration

I had asked Liza to patrol the open space for a bit, I ht have made a mistake in the personnel selection here

There was apot next to thatout of it

One of the kids ere playing hide and seek buit

Afterward, Lady Karina and the girls, itnessed the enrageda stick around, put a stop to the barbaric act

I secretly secured the broken pot's splinters fro to its detailed infora Ea Empire huh

"Reimbursement"

"He told us to pay to make up for the pot the kid broke nodesu"

"And did you pay?"

"Secret savings~"

"Pochi and Ta on the their ave them have disappeared
