Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

It was a small dagger that was placed on the table.

Overall boneless, but with an elaborate crest on the patterned area.

It's apart from that, combined with proof of being Ariana's person, to whom that merchant belongs.

It's just...

"... Sounds expensive"

When I followed you and squealed like that out of poverty, you looked at me like Lorraine was out there.

"You'd be able to buy this much right now... but I don't know if I can buy this. In the first place, it's not what we're selling around."

That's what I mean.

"What is that...? Hmm...?

I was told, I observed that dagger while tilting my neck, and I tried to take it in my hand, and it feels so uncomfortable.

"What is this?"

When I let go of my hand all the time and put it back on the table, Elise also wondered, then excuse me, and tried to extend her hand to it.

But Lorraine stops that hand.

"... you should stop"

"What?... why not?

Elise leans her neck strangely.

Lorraine, in contrast,

"Me and this guy are resistant to this stuff. However, there may be undesirable effects if not directly touched by humans. At least that merchant had this guy wrapped in something like this."

That's what I said, then went on to get the folded cloth out of my nostalgia.

"... this guy... I see. A cloth with a holy heart. I mean, this dagger..."

"Yes. This is a curse. This malt is supposed to be forbidden to bring."

A curse.

It's about special items that are called in many ways, such as curses, devil's tools, darkness, etc.

And if I'm going to give you an easy example, it's like this on my face.

Well, this isn't technically the same because it seems this isn't a spell, it's close to a god's object.

At first I thought it was nothing but a curse.

I'm not coming off...... well, I ended up lucky with a lot of that fact.

You don't have to make excuses for not showing your face.

Because I can't show it to you.

"Curse...!? Is this...? I've never seen it before, but you can't tell from just seeing it..."

That's what Elise says as she opens her eyes.

But that's a surprising story.

Ask Lorraine if she thought the same thing I did.

"Hmm, looks like the College has about a dozen units of spell stock, huh?

The College is basically an educational institution, of course, but it is also colorful as a research institution.

And the subject spans not only normal disciplines, but almost everything related to witchcraft.

Some of them, naturally, should contain a spell, and some of them should be studying it.

Anyway, for once, the curse will be part of a magic tool to a large extent, but the effect is rarely like ignoring the normal laws of witchcraft.

The effects themselves and the analysis of how they work should be necessary in many ways.

That's Lorraine's dialogue.

To this, Elise,

"No matter how College, the curse is inherently valuable. Therefore, yes, because it is not something that is rolling around...... I've heard there are a few of them in the Tower, but they also seem to be kept pretty tight, and it's not like they're going to make it look easy on students."

I answered that.

Lorraine nodded so much that it became this,

"Is that right here...... hmm. Okay. Then this is going to be a valuable opportunity for you. Because of that. Do you want me to touch the spell?

And say something unexpected.

"Lorraine... you just told me not to touch you, didn't you? Do you mind?"

That's what Lorraine asked me.

"Well, the boulders are all over town, and I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know if Elise is going to stay in Malt for a while now, as long as it sticks out here on the boulder? I thought I'd set up an opportunity and a place another day if I had plans. What do you say?"

That's what I say.

It's a rather noisy proposition, but this is what Lorraine does.

I would say that there is not so much danger.

Well, even when it comes to curses, there are a lot of them.

It is said that there is a minority of things like my mask that cannot be done in any way, and that if it is common, it can be purified by the saints and virgins of the Church.

I guess this dagger means its level......

Even if not, if it's over a cloth with holy temper or something, well, somehow.

Elise gave a little thought to Lorraine's suggestion, but she still seemed like a student of The College, and the opportunity to study was rolling and she didn't seem willing to miss it.

With a look that cemented your resolve,

"If so, would you mind? If you plan to, I can't say for sure without checking it once, but as soon as I decide, I will contact you..."

That's what I said.

Besides, Lorraine nods and exchanges contacts.

According to that, apparently, the students of the College will rent out the big inn for a while, even in Malt.

Looks like the Tower is with us, but it's a masterpiece... well, isn't it a big deal to be in a border city inn?

Then, there was time for the assembly, so Elise headed to the inn.

He said things like, unfortunately, hugging Lina, and eating dinner because it's okay once in a while while here.

I ask Lorraine, looking at her like that.

"This dagger was distorting that robe's witchcraft, is that okay?

It's still in your hand. It feels nasty, but I'm used to boulders.

Lorraine nods.

"Oh. Perhaps it disrupts the magic that resides in something nearby. Originally, magic props are shielded so that they don't happen, but when it comes to influencing even beyond that... it's something that technology can't easily achieve right now"

"You're never gonna make it, are you?"

"That's right. I can't think of a lot of ways. That said, the Academy robe would have been taken care of to protect himself from the existing methods that he said so, but before this, it didn't make sense... it's the curse of the curse. If I could analyze how it works, it would be a fortune, but it would seem difficult."

It's Lorraine with the Devil's Eye.

Normal demon props shouldn't be that hard to break through how it works, but they say the curse tastes different.

"By the way, why is it okay for me or Lorraine to have this?

"We have the protection of the spirit of the temple. It's the same thing you're touching over the cloth where Holy Qi lives, so... Lina may be fine if she borrows some holy thoughts from you... but it's hard to mention that earlier."

This is also satisfactory.

Where the hell would you say that in front of Elise?

Ma, you should tell Lina a lot later.
