Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 8. Curse (2)

Ferda stares at the doll dazed.

Then I suddenly realized the truth.

"Is this my hair?"

Warble-blue hair tied around a doll. It was Ferda's.

His eyes flashed fiercely.

"Then again · · · · · · · ·."

I have seen similar scenes in novels.

When resting in the accommodation becomes free. Ferda raises a frown. I was going to take a quick look around. I went out to my place and walked through a garden full of flowers. There was something that caught his eye.

What is that? ’

A flower bed in front of the mansion. Something's going on in there. It looks like it was buried in the rain yesterday. Ferda reaches out to the curious face and is furious.

What is this? ’

Curled with silver hair.

It was a cursed doll with nails.

A cursed doll that Ferda discovered in the original.

The doll was possessed by a terrible curse that afflicted the target with nightmares. It wouldn't be weird if the house turned upside down, but nothing happened.

Because it was real.

"Then why are you talking to me this time?"

All the curses in the novel were real.

Everything from Season 1 to Season 8.

Ferda hesitates about this.

Then I opened my eyes wide.

Given the curse's plague, I had a hunch.

"· · · · · · Leanne Neshard."

Daughter of the late Neshard, the Grand Duke of the South.

And the second wife of Earl Archdut. She's the one who caused this.

The reason was simple.

A real stone that came rolling in suddenly wasn't enough.

That was it.

But this time, instead, I went after Ferda.

Bear thought about it for a good reason.

"Is this your son's revenge?"

Lianne's only son, Cushier Archdute.

Not long ago, Ferda smashed Kershaw with a duel. I'll be trembling at Ferda's shadow for a while. You destroyed it for that purpose in the first place.

He also told his servants that he was paying two doors from his mansion. I actually missed my last week's swordsmanship class.

Now that I think about it, I finally understand.

My son, who wouldn't hurt even if I put him in my eyes, came back full of shit. It gets stuck in the room and starts shaking. If Lyanne has the greatest love for her son, she will surely seek revenge.

"Glad I found you in advance."

Ferda smiles in relief.

When he was a Class S Hunter, he had no resistance to the curse.

If the curse had spread, it would have been a lot of trouble.

When I grabbed hold of the cursed doll, I suddenly thought of touching the brain.

"Then · · · · · · · · · · · for real."

You're not cursed?

But soon I shook my head.

Ferda couldn't have walked alone. You must have made a damned doll. You must have made a real doll. It's not a lot of work.

"I have to find out."

It may be tilting, but you have to fix what you're worried about before you can relax.

Ferda, who glistens at the snow, heads straight for the flowerpot.

Is it different?

I found something suspicious.

There were different colors of dirt, as there were in the backyard of his residence. Even the place overlooks the room in real life.

Acquire

Slightly bites the lip.

Having specified a location, there was no hesitation. Ferda digs the ground immediately.

Not long after that.

"I knew it."

I found the same doll.

Unlike him, his hair is silver.

Ferda's face distorts horribly.

From the reader's perspective, "Something's about to happen. ’I only thought about it enough.

But reality is no longer just a character in a novel.

I'm his disciple.

"These bastards."

You want to go down there right now?

When I cut off my anger by gripping the cursed doll in my hand.

"Ferda!"

I hear a familiar voice above my head.

I look up and see a familiar face.

The boy who shoved his head out the window. It was in real life.

"What are you doing there? Get up here!"

Ferda realized that her appointment time had passed.

He nods once and turns away.

"Ah."

Suddenly, I looked down at my hands.

A pair of cursed dolls hung from a canopy.

I didn't think to deal with this. I can't burn it right now, I can't put it in my inventory, what am I supposed to do with it?

When I was caught up in a short thought.

"Come on! All the meat is cold!"

I quickly made a decision on the voice of reality that followed.

Yeah, let's start with the meat and think.

Ferda tucks the doll in her pocket and moves her feet into the room.

* * *

A huge, sliced, roasted lamb steak with lots of meat. Soft, moist white bread and warm coffee.

It's been the best meal of the day.

"Whoa, I'm full."

With a satisfactory smile. In fact, he tapped the boat with a full stomach.

Then the necklace around his neck falters. The Moon's Eye, a sacred object that suppresses the magic of reality. Ferda speaks at the top of her speech.

"That necklace, are you okay?"

"Huh? What?"

"Is it okay if I keep wearing it? Any discomfort?"

"Oh, this."

He picks up the sacred object with his finger.

It's like picking up something dirty.

But unlike when I first saw it, I don't hate it.

"It was heavy and frustrating at first, but now it's okay."

Of course you are.

Now the Moon's eyes are devoting all their energy to suppressing the Mana in the physical body.

Currently, about half the magical power is sealed.

Of course, if you take off the necklace, it will come back to normal.

But it's better to wear it now.

The Holy Spirit's emissary leaves the erl by the day after tomorrow.

"· · · · · · · Ferda told me to do it all the time."

Muffled as a mosquito then heard.

Thanks to this, Ferda looks out of her mind.

"Huh? What?"

"Ugh. Nothing."

He shakes his head.

Then he smiled, and soon approached the window. After dinner, sitting by the window and staring at the night sky. It was his job to act like a habit.

Ferda, on the other hand, sat on the couch and drank coffee.

After coming here, if there was only one thing I liked, it was this coffee. The aroma and flavor were so different from what we drank on Earth.

However, the eyes were fixed on reality.

Just as the realm sat by the window and looked up at the night sky, Ferda also had her own history.

‘Let's see. ’

I checked the status window first.

Current horsepower is 520. Looks like the moon's eyes are working fine.

Then I looked at the Strength and Health stats. It's a lot higher than when I first saw it, but it's still not enough.

‘I have to start again next week. ’

You put sandbags on your feet and let them run around with rocks. Ferda planned the lesson step by step, thinking about hating it.

‘And · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

And then there's affection.

The numbers have already gone up to 29. If the maximum was 100, it was an incredibly fast speed. But since we've done -101 before, 100 is not the maximum.

‘That's enough of the status window. ’

Next is the skill window.

[Ability]: Commander Combat

[Grade]: Myth

[Step]: 1/1

[Effect]

Immune to world class venom, curses and plagues.

Undead does not lead the Undead.

Favors those with unclean powers.

Communicates with all undead.

* Spell Consumption: 0 (Passive)

A unique skill obtained as soon as you awaken as a commander.

As soon as I saw this, I was speechless.

‘· · · · · · · · What should I call this? ’

I told you before that he was a scam artist.

Correct.

He was just a minnow.

Compared to the ‘real scam' in front of you.

‘I didn't know it in a novel. ’

There was no system in the original.

But when I look at the skill window like this, I can feel it.

His disciple, Silvan Archdut, was not the protagonist of Savior for no reason. If he were a hunter on Earth, wouldn't he be called an SSS-grade commander?

‘I'm going to have to explode. ’

I can't be caught up with my apprentice.

Ferda smiles in relief.

Then I turned my gaze to the next skill.

Skill obtained by Awakening yourself as a commander.

It was a matter of fact.

[Ability]: Issue

[Grade]: Hero

[Step]: 1/10

[Effect]: Give the target the terror of death just by making eye contact. The higher the stage, or the weaker the target, the higher the ‘chance of immediate activation'.

* Spell Consumption: 100

* Instant Activation Chance: 0.1%

‘Surprisingly, it's a lot of magic. ’

If Ferda used it, it would consume all of her magical power.

But in practice, it's okay to be full of magic.

If you take off the moon's eyes right now, there's over 1,000 of them.

Then the coffee cup revealed the floor.

After one last sip, Ferda rummages through her pockets. It was to bring out the ‘understanding of the curse' obtained while organizing the inventory.

Then.

You hear the real voice of the stars.
