Miniature Garden Chemister

Since I met you, Shea and Quilt, my routine has been overflowing with new things.

I was able to fly out of this house and go to the city all the time. Besides, Shea and I could be friends. For me, I think it's the first time I've learned a little bit about this world.

"Master Hinami, it's tea. I mean, why is magic restorative medicine (Mana Potion) a substitute for tea... a waste of time"

"Because it's delicious, isn't it? It tastes like tea."

While I was preparing the fruit, Ichiru prepared a magic potion called tea. Remove from bottle and warm over fire. Now you can make a delicious cup of tea.

Ickle says, "You can't be delicious," but you'd be surprised if you took a sip.

"Look, drink!

"...... ok................!?

"Right? It's delicious."

"…… yeah. Surprised."

Look, I knew I was surprised.

"I mean... who is Master Hinami?

"Huh?"

"Because even though I just can't believe I live in a lost forest... medicine is good enough to grow herbs. But he doesn't seem to have the knowledge of a pharmacist."

Sure, well... I guess I'm in the “Wonder" position right now.

I came to this world two years ago. I've been in the woods all my life and it's the first time I've been involved with people yesterday. Exactly what am I, insane right now?

"This house also... has great technical skills in magic props... it's strange."

"Wonder after all!?

"Eh?"

"Ah, nothing..."

Right, I dare not explain it to Ickle, do I? But what a good explanation… worries me.

God brought me here and I live at a point! Then you can't... right? If I look at Ichiru as a chill, I look around the house almost as if it's unusual.

"Um, I'm like Ickle says... I don't know much about this world, or something"

"Yeah?"

"I've been living here for two years, and so..."

No! I can't explain it well...!

I wonder where to start in the first place. Can I talk to you about God? It's not a good idea to talk on your own... right?

"Calm down…"

"Well, I know there's something going on."

"Thank you……."

Have a sip of tea and I'll calm you down. I feel sorry for you for not being able to talk properly about yourself.

"Besides, I'm a curse slave, and you don't have to force me to tell you, do you?

"…… Not really."

"Yeah?"

"No, I'm sorry. Uh... there was no such thing as a" cursed slave ”where I lived. So... I don't know... well, I can't explain it, but I can't treat Ichiru like a cursed slave."

"No curse slavery... place?

"……… yeah."

Pick a few words at a time and tell Ikuru that you don't really understand what a "curse slave” is, that you don't like it.... No, it may not be conveyed by the current words alone.

"I see. I mean, Master Hinami treated me as a normal person, not a curse slave. Is that what you mean?"

"Oh, no... was it?

"No? It's nothing. Well, I did think it was weird... but as long as you see that Hinami-san has no malice, you'll see."

Ikuru drinks tea and sticks his cheeks so that he can think of something. And he looked at me like that and shook his head.

"Master Hinami is special. It's like you're not from this world."

"What, you look like a star?"

"No... nothing"

I never thought Ickle would hit me with a pinpoint! I ate an apple prepared to delude myself and laughed somehow.

Ah, apples are delicious.

"Well, I won't pry any further, so calm down."

"Oh, yeah... but I'll talk to you when I put it together so you can talk properly yourself!

"Summarize... well, if Hinami-san wants to do that, that's fine."

"Thank you!"

It's kind of a burst of sweetness to the kindness of the ickle, but I can't help it all. In the exchange diary, we also need to see if we can talk about God.

Ha! But I want to know about Ickle. Is there only one thing I ask? But is it still manners to ask when you talk about me?

I ate the apple while I was no longer there, and when I looked at the icle, I said, "What?".

"... you want to hear about me anyway, don't you?

"What! How did you know!?

"'Cause it's big on my face."

"Ugh..."

Was it so on your face? I'm supposed to be good at poker faces...

Like, "Go ahead," Ikuru says. You can ask me a lot about this! So that's it!

"But I'm not special, am I? He lived in the same place as a slave village."

Nothing particularly interesting, is there? Ichiru tilts his neck slightly in such a way. No, no, please stay put. Assuming Ikuru's life is normal, other than being a cursed slave, or something, no, it's not, is it?

"Cursed Slave Village?

"What, you don't know from there?

"What?"

"Wait a minute... I heard Hinami-san doesn't know much about common sense, but it was a problem before then that he didn't know the Cursed Slave Village, right?

"... I'm glad it's an explanation to teach a child I have no idea"

How many times have I seen Ichiru's shaken face?

"Well... right. Really from the beginning… Shall I explain the" Letty Threel "thing?"

"Yeah! Thanks!

Ikuru carefully and slowly explained [Letty Threel] to me so that I could see it.

When this world…… was still a whole land without humans, animals or even trees.

First, it rained.

Next, the Sun illuminated the earth.

Finally, the “moon” was gently enveloped.

The sun and the moon warmed the rain-moistened earth to create small trees in this world. Later it became a rich nature and the goddess Letty Threel was born.

Born from this world, Letty Threel was very pleased with the beautiful nature.

But at the same time, I realized I was alone.

Lettysreel, lonely and lonely, created animals, humans, beastmen and spirits.

Everyone soon became friends and lived happily ever after. And we named this world Goddess's name… "Letty Threel".

"…… is the beginning of this world."

"It was the name of the goddess...!

"Yes. That said, this is the content of a picture book that makes little kids listen."

"I didn't know, that would be awesome!

"Sort of? Well, this far is for little kids. Little older children are taught by their parents about the Curse Slave System."

of the slave system... the Curse. I heard the words, but I don't know the specifics.

As I clenched my neck, Ikuru began to take off his jacket.

"What! What are you doing, Ickle!

"It's quicker to look at it."

What the hell! Soon you'll be naked in your upper body, and Ikuru will look over at you. Funny how I'm more embarrassed than Ickle...!!

Unexpectedly turning away and being careful not to look at Ickle naked, a voice hangs from Ickle.

"This is the curse."

"... Huh?

When I looked at Ichiru by accident, a tattoo-like mole appeared firmly on the heart of Ichiru… imitating a flower.

The moment I saw it, my feelings of embarrassment blew away, and I felt chilly about the difference.

"What, it………?

"……… Shall we continue?"

"……… yeah."

The goddess Letty Threel lived happily in this world with everyone.

But only when more people lived in this world… and those who left Lettysreel appeared. Everyone was saddened to leave, but it was not a good idea to continue collecting large quantities of food in one place.

For a while, I enjoyed the occasional conversation of visiting Letty Threel's former place. Everyone never doubted that the time would go on when everyone would smile and talk.

I was so happy, but there was a huge separation between Letty Sleel and the others.

Yes, a huge difference in life expectancy.

Born as a goddess, Letty Threel had no such thing as death.

Time flies, and the friendly ones go to death first… and new lives are born again. And gradually, those who went far away forgot about Letty Sleel.

Then hundreds of years later… the tragedy happened.

The “Gem Hua" that Letty Sleel cherished was stolen. Whoever stole it… is it a human, a beast man… or both? Suddenly Letty Sleel was very surprised, and very saddened. Tears couldn't stop overflowing, and the world was shed once by those tears.

And when I realized… Letty Sleel disappeared and a circle of flowers carved into the chests of those who stole “Gem Hua”.

That was the curse and the mark of sadness left by Letty Sleel. The Curse had three effects on the engraved.

The Curse.

Effect

One, Decreased status value.

Two, do not use Attack Magic skills.

Three, some condition abnormality.

Dismiss Method

To continue to engage in devotional work for five years.

Initially, those who were engraved with the Curse did not know what it meant and left it behind. But this curse was passed down to the child. And then, a few hundred years later, everyone gave their knowledge of the meaning of the status and the state anomaly… not to do so, and all the people living in the world began to work together.

And this Curse was called the Slave System, and it was established as the Curse Slavery to engage to lift the Curse.

Also, an Alliance has been launched to manage the Curse Slave. This later grew into a neutral institution that also supported adventurers and had to be in Lettysreel.

A system was created in which large books were managed by the Alliance, with cursed slavers in the middle, and contracts made.

"This is the beginning of this world, Letty Threel, and… the story of cursed slavery"

……

"Well, I know it's hard to believe. Because being a goddess is ridiculous."

When I didn't believe in a goddess, Ikuru said to himself... he looked kind of sad.

"So... isn't this cursed slavery technically a" slave ”?

"Name? Well, sure, this is what the guild thought... because they said it was an unforgivable case for people who don't have a curse, especially for their faith in the goddess Letty Threel. At last, a curse like me is the descendant of a criminal who stole treasure from a goddess."

"But you disappear in five years, right?

"Right. Believers will treat you as normal when the curse disappears."

I see…

So this cursed slavery was something very different from what I had in mind.

Is this a testament to the sorrow of the goddess? They stole something important... and I can't forgive it... but that's why I can't inflict pain all the time... such kindness.

I don't even want to blame the goddess for not knowing exactly what happened, even though I think it's pathetic to have a curse on a child.

"Does that mean… that Ichle also has limitations and state anomalies due to the Curse?

"Right. But I don't know until the Curse is lifted because it seems to depend on people to what extent the status is actually decreasing. Because magic skills can only be used in exploration, well, I guess so. There's no obstacle to life when it comes to abnormalities, and there's no problem."

"That's right... but if there's no obstacle, it's good!

If the condition is abnormal, it is probably about the body, it is not good to go in and ask, and if there is no obstacle, let's not touch it from me.

But if I'm in trouble and I am, I need all the support I can get!

That, but………?

"In five years, the curse will disappear, won't it? For that matter, a cursed slave… not many?

"I guess that means the descendants of bandits. You think a guy who works stealing from a goddess would do five years of devotional service?

"Oh, well... you mean it can stay that way if there's no obstacle to living, right?

"Right. Anyone who becomes a curse slave and lifts the Curse... is purely someone who doesn't like the Curse engraved on his chest. People who don't like status or attack magic limitations… this is an adventurer, a knight, and then people in areas where there are a lot of demons. And the last person who wants to disarm a state anomaly. So it's not that uncommon for people not to disarm until they engage in people. So there are no fewer curse slaves. Well, the guild seems to be in trouble because it won't solve the problem."

Ohhhh...

I admire what you've explained. I'm sorting it out in my head. But, but does that mean there won't be fewer curse slaves because there are so many people who leave the Curse alone?

Shit, yeah...!

"Right! And what's the Cursed Slave Village?

"Ah. It's a village with curses like ours. Basically, anyone with the Curse is managed by an Alliance. Well, you can normally live in the city... if someone finds out about your goddess faith, it's a hassle. So the Curse Holder gathered naturally to create the village. That's the so-called Cursed Slave Village."

"I see... I thought it was a terrible place to say" Cursed Slave Village. "

"Well, you look like a normal village."

Goddess and the Curse.

Now, no more goddesses?

Or is there somewhere in this world…?

Grr.

The moment I wanted to ask Ikuru more about the goddess and he tried to tell me.

But it was blocked by the sound of my stomach...!

"Don't you dare... let's have dinner"

".................. Yes"
