"It's been a long time...Hmm. How are you, girls? "

"Mmm... my mother always shows up suddenly.Thanks to you, I can't even say bad things to Roku. "

"In the first place, I just don't have to say bad things... anyway.Hi, Mom. Sora is having a good time. "

"Mmm, mmm. More than anything, you look fine.And.... "

Al sees Nokia.

"It's been a long time.How are you, Nokia?

"Er...?

Although Al talks intimately, Nokia's reaction is slow.

I was confused because I didn't know how to answer.

In other words, the current interaction....

Maybe Al knows Nokia?

"Uh-huh. It's not what the saying goes, Mabu-tachi."

So, where did you learn such a word?

"My mother and Nina's mother are friends... mmm.This is another surprising fact. "

"What is the extent of my mother's friendship...?

I'm sure there's a lot of interaction because I've lived a long time....

In that case, I feel that it is limited to various things.

What is the intent?

I'd like to listen to you carefully once....

But there's something else to prioritize right now.

"Mr. Al. If that's the case, the story is quick.Actually, now Nokia-san..... "

Being cursed by darkness.

I've forgotten everything.

Protected by Mr. Von and acting together.

I explained those things.

"... but do you have any idea about the curse of darkness?

"Hmm... I didn't expect you to hear those words in this place."

Mr. Al had a very bitter face.

That's not all.

It's cleverly hidden, but it looks like anger is spreading.

"Do you have an idea?

"... yes"

"Then why don't you tell me what you know?We can't leave Nokia alone. "

"That's... uhh.I don't agree to lift the curse, but.... "

"Nh... is that the opposite?

"Something wrong?

"It's not a good thing to say.If you can, I don't want you to get involved in this. "

I was told something unexpected.

Al gave me a lot of advice, and I thought we'd solve it ourselves...

Not this time.

He wants us to be quiet because we're gonna figure this out ourselves.

They're not trying to get rid of us, they're just wondering.

The evidence shows that Al's eyes are very gentle when he sees Sola and Luna, but he is still shaking anxiously.

"That said, it's not about you guys, so I guess you won't listen."

"That's right. For whatever reason, you can't just sit still and let someone else do it."

"Besides, it's also Nina's problem.If you can, we want to solve it. "

"Yeah, yeah. It's sad to be forgotten how I was able to reunite with my mother.I definitely want to do something!

"Man, there's... there's... there's... there's..."

Nina thanked her with tears.

There is no choice but to retreat here to meet the tears.

"Can you tell me what you know?

"... hah, I can't help it"

Al broke and sighed.

Sit on an empty sofa.

Tina quietly opens her mouth after a sip of freshly brewed tea.

"The dark curse that took Nokia's memory is the result of the use of certain forbidden artifacts."

"Contraindicated Designated Relics...?

"Concubines, the Spirit Clan owns various items.The Orihalcon you gave Rain and the Shield of Truth you returned to the brave.And many other Epic Items. "

"Speaking of which... the Sola Spirits occasionally went out to collect such items."

"Why did you do that?You want a collection, too?

"Idiot"

"Fuggin '!?

Al's poison fell off.

Al's education is quite violent.

"There are various items in the world.Sometimes, some of the most powerful legendary items are secretly buried.What happens if a fool gets it?Just think about it and you'll get tired. "

"So, the Sola Spirits are collecting it first and managing it strictly?

"Mmm, that's right.If the Spirit Clan has never been invaded by the village, it is best suited in terms of protecting it.So... back to the story, my concubines and the Spirit Clan are collecting various items... among them is a contraindicated artifact. "

I feel bad from the name.

Think about it as a normal item.

"The forbidden artifact is an item that you might imagine, but it's not crazy.For example, yes... spreading an incurable disease.Alternatively, there are bombs that have caused a massive explosion involving one country, contaminating the land for eternity. "

"That's it again...."

"Don't be shy...."

What a nasty item to have.

When I heard Al's story, I unexpectedly took a breath.

"Among the forbidden artifacts is an item called 'Black Blessing'.It's not malicious to take away a subject's best wishes.You guys call it the Dark Curse, right? "

"Mom, you know that a lot."

"My concubine is managing the item instead of the head.It's only natural that you should know that much. "

"Why is your mother in charge?

"The chief is busy... no, he's busy.My concubine is also cooperating quite well. "

No, you almost said something terrible...?

I hope Al is joking.

Wait a minute.

I noticed something strange and sandwiched my voice.

"Black blessings and things were controlled in the spiritual village, right?Why is it being used by Nokia?

"Mmm...."

Al's face felt terribly bitter because he was stabbed in a painful place.

I'm sure we'll finally get to the heart of the story.

"Ah... I'll talk to you. Can you promise me something?I want you to keep this a secret. "

"Does that mean that something big just happened to keep it a secret?

"Mm-hmm. She's a good girl."

Okay, I promise.

When I saw Mr. Fong, he nodded firmly.

Looking at us like that, Al talks as if he's ready.

"Black Blessing... and some other forbidden artifacts were brought out of the spiritual village."

"Eh!?

"I've never heard anything like that."

Sola and Luna were surprised.

Tell them to listen to the end of the story, and Al continues to explain further.

"It was almost a few hundred years ago."

"But that doesn't coincide with when Nokia-san used the Black Blessing...."

"It was brought out only a few hundred years ago, and I didn't use it at that time.I don't know what it was for... but I must have touched it a while ago and used it at that time. "

Ah, that's true too.

"So... about the person who stole it, his name is... Mona."
