"Um... what's my father thinking?

"Uh... no, I don't know that either, but I don't think it's like an assassin or anything. Then I thought it was a curse... I just don't see why you're giving that to my kid for his birthday..."

He's an assassin to my kid, no matter how old he is. He's not as bad as sending him, and he doesn't have that courage.

That's the New Year's party, so it seems that Viktor and Lara, who I've met, appreciated my father.

Dr. Romanov, who had all sorts of direct conversations, seems to have some thoughts again, but he's generally of the same opinion as the two of us.

"I mean, you don't know why you're in such a predicament right now, do you?"

"I'm guessing the reason you're being resented is boulder, but you think you're being seen worse"

"It's hard..."

How blunt you remember me resenting you, but you don't think you're gonna get hit back or anything.

Is that it?

The one where you often do terrible things to others, and it's not good to be done by others?

I'm not scared and I don't have a voice.

I don't know if Barbarian had business and tried to come to the mansion, or if the messenger and I were asked to guide him, but it's obvious that he got caught up in me and my father's obsession.

"In the meantime, we have to do something about you Barbarians"

"Yes, so come with me and Vicha."

Dr. Romanoff won't be the first to take the delay, whatever the other side is, and if it's like a curse, if Mr. Viktor can uncurse it, fine. No, but if you destroy the curse itself, you can do anything.

I guess that's what this is about, but I shook my neck to the side.

"I'll go, too. We need to figure out what my father's been up to, or why else."

"Ya, but..."

"Is it a foot job? Then I'll stay home with you, but if not, take me with you."

I guess Mr. Viktor thinks it's better not to come. I have a very troubled face with my eyebrows in eight letters.

But if you look at Dr. Romanov, you stroke his jaw, and then you say, "Right," and he opens his mouth.

"I don't think so, but this is an opportunity to learn an example of someone who has blah blah blah blah blah resentment, hate, cynicism, and more power and passion."

"Alyosha!"

To Dr. Romanoff's words, Mr. Viktor exposes his anger from his troubled face.

I don't know what to say, when I stick my mouth in danger, Dr. Romanov pushes my back all the time, but Mr. Viktor often keeps me away from his back shelter.

Dr. Romanoff tells me to get over it directly by letting me get into it, and Mr. Viktor is literally trying to protect me.

Both are for me.

But what I need right now.

"Thank you, Mr. Viktor. But I want to take it backwards if my father has set it up. If you're going to put it on Leggles' birthday present and do something about it, I want to beat the crap out of you!

That's right.

Leggles has been a good kid for the past year and a little while without even mentioning Wagamama.

I just lost your mother, and you'll want to see your father, without even letting that happen every time.

Nonetheless, I heard from that son of a bitch, Mr. Utsunomiya, but he hasn't sent a single postcard since his stupid letter saying, "Come to Empire with Utsunomiya".

Yet you think I'm going to plant a curse on the gift I've finally given you?

Am I allowed to do this!? No! Permission denied!

Shall I drop it into a fat pile and let it stay pickled for about three days!?

"Oh, yeah. Right, I get it. I'll protect you. Let's go together."

"Manru, it's nice to be motivated, but it's not elegant to leak a lot of stuff"

Ha!?

Mr. Viktor's dong-pulled voice and Lara's bitter laughter make his face snap.

I shouldn't, I stuck with the real thing getting polarized out of my mouth.

As a nobleman, you're not beautiful, are you?

Dr. Romanov laughs nicely when he coughs like a wasp.

In response, Mr. Lara rose off the couch.

"Well, I'm gonna mess with the chick and Kana in the garden."

I guess Lara, waving her pretentious hand out of the living room, will go and defend Leggles and her playing in case she does.

That's why me, Dr. Romanov and Mr. Viktor are going to pick up Barbarian.

When Mr. Rottenmeyer drops me off and I step out of the mansion grounds, the cold, but refreshing, winter air changes and I get so unusual signs that I have nebula and goosebumps.

My neck muscles are cold even when I'm wrapping a muffler around them.

"Wow, this feels like it's not working."

"Sounds like a pretty strong curse."

"Really?

"Yeah, this is a pretty powerful category."

Or something like that, while the teacher's face is the usual soft smile. Viktor also seems to have goosebumps about signs of feeling sick on his skin, but it doesn't feel like he's scared at all.

I've never felt a curse before, but it feels like my hands are being tasted repeatedly with the cat's tongue.

That's a reward for one who likes cats, but they don't have to be cat tongues, and people who don't like them feel bad.

I don't hate cat tongues, but I don't like having that feeling even though I don't have a cat.

Poop and lead Dr. Romanoff on the road to the city, while me and Mr. Viktor hold hands and walk behind it.

Four people in a place where the trees look oddly twisted.

Mr. Camara and Mr. Upatra, then Jayanta is as usual, but there's one person I don't recognize.

I'm here.

"Oh...... is that it? It's black."

"Is it still a curse"

"Yeah. I still can't see how many curses are hanging..."

"Uh, is that a person?

A fourth person doesn't really look human to me.

With that said, Dr. Romanoff and Mr. Viktor's eyes were slightly opened.

"Oh," Mr. Viktor leaked a sighing voice as he stroked his nail tip from my head with his gaze.

"Alyosha, you're growing a sacred magic trick."

"Oh, well. You're early."

"Yeah. It's supposed to grow, but it's too early. I'm not ready."

"Right. I don't know what to do..."

Side by side the two roaring softly, I gaze at someone invisible to man.

Then the contour of the woman came into view in it.

"Phoenix, how do you look?

"But the woman wearing the skeleton?

"A skeleton... that's a pain in the ass"

Maybe Mr. Viktor and Dr. Romanov don't really care, but the skeleton on the woman's shoulder looked at me...
