〜Kirik's side

The bandit "Shiranui" is now in a tight spot.

Our master, Artoo Halbern, has been cursed by the shadows of the Moorish Empire to leave the front lines and has since been targeted by ...... and other dark organizations.

The comrades who once laughed at each other are now a wreck, and the power of the organization is weakening.

I've been fighting for my people to fulfill my lord's will, but the hearts of my fellow countrymen are on the verge of wear and tear as they are slowly being hunted down .......

I'm sorry, Kirik, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my failure to do so, and for the trouble I caused you all. If only I had more power at that time ......

"What do you mean! You are our master. If you care about your people, you will never be weak!

It has been three years since he was cursed.

My lord's strong body was emaciated, and he was blind.

Now, he can't even go about his daily life without assistance.

"Kirik. Take your friends and go into exile while I turn myself in and draw the enemy's attention to you. It's easy enough for you guys to escape from the Kingdom of Rosalta, right?

"My lord, do not be timid! If you keep talking about shameful things, your luck will run away.

Hmmm, yes, but I like you guys. But I like you guys. When the time comes, I want you to run away and not worry about me. That's a leader's order.

I guess my age has made me deaf. Now, if you'll excuse me.

My lord has already given up on his own life.

You are only 18 years old and you can go to ....... It's pitiful.

He has become more docile now, but in the past he had tried to harm himself many times with knives and fasting.

He was so kind that he didn't want us to get involved.

How can I save my lord's life? Why am I so helpless! I've been alive for more than 400 years and I'm ......!

The offerings needed to break the spell are an S-ranked monster's magical stone, Medusa's eyeball and heart ...... elixir.

And a vial of pure maiden's blood.

I'm not going to be able to get one for us, because we are short of money and have only B-rank adventurer's level of power.

You'll be able to find some of these offerings by following the connections of the Prime Minister's time. But in exchange for that, the inner workings of the "shiranui" will leak out.

If all the offerings are available, that's fine, but if we are beaten up by hostile forces in the face of the unfinished curse of our lord, we will be helplessly wiped out.

With the loss of his men, the lord will be hung and will have a tragic end. ......

Then there is no point in trying to break the spell!

There is only one person who is close to the Prime Minister's family who would have access to all the offerings: ....... There is only one person who fits this description, Mr. Jinku.

You will be able to find out more about the fact that you are a member of the family.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

I'm sure you'll be able to get your hands on some of his offerings by using his position and power.

But it is difficult to ask for his help. We didn't reach out to Master Jink when he was having a rough time in the Kingdom of Losalta.

And yet, they are brazen enough to ask for ...... help when they are in trouble.

I'm sure they'll just snicker at you if you hang on to him.

If I were in his shoes, I would definitely walk away.

But I'd have no choice! If there is even a 1% chance of saving your lord, no matter how unseemly it is, you can go to ......

I will risk my life and beg for mercy from Master Zinc!

When I shared my ideas with all the members except the lord, they too were willing to risk their lives.

They were all wondering if there was anything they could do to help.

Our personal appearance is not enough to compensate for our offerings ...... we know that.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us, but if we can't provide you with any other kind of compensation, we can't afford to lose our backs!

Under these conditions, there's no choice but to beg off!

After obtaining the blood seals of all the members except the lord, I contacted Master Jink through a nobleman in Quor who had connections with the Prime Minister's family.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

I was willing to rely on people's contacts and send a letter until I was yelled at ...... Surprisingly, he listened to our voice with the first plea.

I was surprised when I read Count Zerdik's report, because it was rumored that he was a torturer and ruthless person ...... although sweet to his relatives.

I was expecting to be torture to death for sending an unworthy letter, so I sat up and cried with relief.

Kirik-san. Jinx-sama's return letter says to meet at the 11th level of the Homura Labyrinth.

I see. Perhaps you are trying to estimate our competence and sincerity. But it's a good thing.

No matter what happens in there, the blade will not reach the lord.

"Get ready to go to Homura Labyrinth, boys! Let's meet at the 11th level, as requested by Mr. Zinke!

「「「「 yes 」」」」

And even if I have to cling to his feet, I will beg for mercy and lead to the undoing of my lord's curse!

As I recall, a maid who used to accompany Master Jinck once described him as "too kind".

Because of the opposite of the rumors heard, I only thought that she was concerned about her former master. ......

I'm not going to be the only one.

He is the cousin of the master and ...... the one who is in the opposite place from the master.

What kind of young man has grown up to be the one who once cackled in the arms of a young lady?
