Arriving at the site, Nobusada was greeted with a scene of a boy swinging a sword around like a madman and a girl shouting at him while frantically trying to dodge his assault . Another man of the same age who's probably their party member is lying on the ground, bleeding .
The expression behind the boy's steel helmet is that of a lunatic, not that of a sane man . Various liquid like drool and stuff are spilling out of his mouth . Whoa, this isn't the time to to make a commentary . It's situation critical no matter how you look at it .
CLANG
Even though the girl somehow managed to barely block the sword with her mace, her strength was just not enough against the boy . The blade is pushing closer to her body .
"Kuh aa, I can't"
Just when she was about to yield, a voice resounded out of the blue .
"Air Bind!!!"
A spell Nobusada cast bound the boy . The girl dropped her mace before falling down herself .
"Aah, I intruded in since things were looking bad there, or was it an unnecessary intervention?"
The girl had a face mixed with relief and wariness turned at Nobusada who called out to her with a nonchalant voice .
"N-no, you're a lifesaver . Thank you very much . "
"But really, just what's going on here anyway . Mind filling me in? Oh wait, gotta go treat that person first . "
"Ah, then let me . . . "
"Oh it's fine . All in a day's work . High Heal!"
"Eeeeeeeh, no way . High Heal, chantlessly!?"
The fallen boy's wounds closed up in a blink of an eye . His ghastly breathing that sounded like it would stop at any moment stabilized as well . The girl was relieved to see her friend saved even amidst her surprise at the stunt .
"All done . Are you hurt anywhere?"
"N-no, I'm fine . As for your question earlier, I don't have the answer to that either . "
"Mumu?"
"Ah, excuse me . I haven't introduced myself . My name is Chein, I'm a priestess who serves upon Hadin-sama . The fighter lying over there is Brighton, and the restrained boy over there is our leader, Afuro . And then there's another party member, but she went missing . . . "
"Fumu fumu, ah, I'm Nobusada . A D-class adventurer for once . "
The girl leaped up in surprise the moment she heard the name . Her line of sight toward Nobusada turned cautious .
"Eeh!? Um . . . Err . . . no, it's nothing . "
"Ah, it's fine . I could hazard a guess . You probably won't believe it coming from me, but those nicknames have been nothing but trouble to me . Who even likes to be thought as a man who would indiscriminately assault girls . "
"Err . . . I'm sorry . "
The girl, Chein bowed apologetically .
"So, you see . We were walking on this floor to hunt monsters like always when a mage member of our party went missing all of a sudden, then just when we were about to look for her, Afuro turned out like that . Brighton was cut when he was trying to cover me, I was in frenzy afterward . "
Fumu . I'm curious about that missing member, but this Afuro boy takes priority for now . Discerning-sensei, your turn please .
Name: Afuro Ryei - Gender: Male - Age: 15 - Race: General Human Class: Swordsman Lv18 - State: Cursed Title: None
Okay, he's a concerned party alright! And what's up with this lump of talents!! And it's another Curse!!!
To whom those successive quips are for anyway . As I put my finger on my forehead, Afuro jolted .
A moment later, a jewel embedded on the grip of his sword shone .
BASHIN
What!?
Air Bind restraining the boy was erased, releasing the insane boy off .
"Tch, these father and son just go break my magic will ya!"
Nobusada got on guard while having a distant look in his eyes .
"BURAAAAAAAAAAA"
Afuro is swinging his sword once again while howling out . The sword was swung down toward Nobusada . . . which got parried and sent to the ground . Nobusada immediately elbowed a side of the blade, but instead of getting flicked away, the boy's hand got dislocated instead . The sword is stuck in his hand? Is it the 『Unremovable Cursed Equipment』 type?
I was planning to try out some things at first, but I guess this isn't the time .
"Graviton!"
I directly put gravity around the touched blade . No matter how out of control he is, he surely can't swing it around now with this and his dislocated hand .
"Let me help undo your curse, it's gonna hurt a bit tho' . Clench your teeth!"
I recite a spell while holding my right hand with my left .
"Shine, palm of mine! Roar and break this curse!"
Light converges in Nobusada's right hand . Eventually a platinum-colored light dwells in that hand .
"SHINIIIIIIIIIING SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!"
BASHIKONNN
The unleashed palm slapped Afuro's left cheek with all its might . A mark from Nobusada's right hand on Afuro's left cheek turned into light . Then a change took place .
The light gradually wrapped around Afuro's whole body . Once it covered his whole body, the sword that was stuck so hard in his hand dropped down just like that . A will dwelt back in his then unfocused eyes, putting Nobusada in sight .
"That hurt, even Maman never hebua"
BASHIKON
"Another slap!?"
"A great man once said this . When you got your left cheek slapped, offer your right cheek right away . "
""WHO SAID THAT!!?""
The two quipped back in harmony . Well aren't you a pair . For now I cast Heal on his dislocated hand . Ah, they're creating a space for their own universe . Yeah yeah, thanks for the treat .
<TLN: Catch the latest updates and edits at Sousetsuka . com > That aside, I confirm if the sword is really the source of problem .
Treasured Sword Core Minder Quality: First Class - Enclosed Mana: 3/68 A treasured sword created by Craftsman Anaham . Negate magic the embedded jewel considers to bring harm to its wielder . This sword's grip is twice as long as a normal sword's grip, hence it can be used both as a one-handed or two-handed sword . Blessings: 【Break Magic】【Lightening】
Temuro-san, that's some equipment you gave your son . Break Magic must have broken Air Bind apart . Not sure if it could be used to remove a curse, but the user probably needs to will it .
The jewel embedded on the swords' grip is working correctly . However, a blue gem-like thing under the grip which looked like an ornament broke down into sand . No change besides that . Which means, that's the cause huh . I took a look at the leftover sand, it was just normal sand .
"Just what's going on anyway? This person just went and slapped me right when I came to . "
"You don't remember? Afuro, you got cursed and cut Brighton down in your delirium . And then, me too, you were about to . . . That was when Nobusada-san here saved me and even undid your curse . "
"I-I cut down Brighton!? And even Chein!?"
Afuro was shook . He took his helmet off and sat down on the ground . His emerged hair is exactly what it says on the tin . . . it's humongous . That afro hair makes your serious expression completely go waste .
"Yes, do you feel any abnormality with your body? Any idea how it came to this?"
"The last thing I recall is the time I drew my sword . Oh right, I remember now . A voice filled up my head back then . Go murder, it said . "
He looks clearly shaken . He must comprehend the gravity of his deed . If I hadn't happened to pass by, he might have slaughtered his own friends . But, I'm not done fishing for answers yet .
"Where did you get the gem below this grip?"
"Eh? I-I got that from Belchika the mage . It was a charm from a famous fortune teller she said . "
Alright, guilty as charged .
"Girls! Capture the girl hiding behind that pillar over there!"
""""SIR, YES SIR~~""""
With Nobusada's signal, the three girls plus Tino-chan jumped out . Caught completely off guard, a girl in mage outfit hiding and watching us from behind a pillar got captured without any resistance . It's very obvious she's been peeking at us from a while ago . I didn't train in scouting for nothing .
"Why are you getting in my way! You even broke the gem fortune teller-sama granted me!"
Nobusada crouched down and threw questions to the girl who were being pressed against bare ground .
"Fortune teller? Did they incite you to do all this?"
"They didn't incite nothing! Fortune teller-sama only gave me an advice . My love will come true if I put this necklace on and let my beloved hold onto that gem . "
Fumu? Looking closer, this girl is wearing a mismatched adult-looking necklace on her .
Rimoton Necklace Quality: First Class - Enclosed Mana: 28/55 A magic tool furnished with a curse that induces the wearer to think like the caster wishes to . It ultimately only induces the wearer's thought process, however, those who fail to resist the curse will be under an illusion that they're doing the act on their own volition .
ＯＨ、ＮＯ！ You're cursed too! This smells like a giant pain in the rear . What now .
"A~ah, anyway, looks like she's been cursed too, gotta remove it first . "
Hnn, I wouldn't want to slap a girl, and we have another actor acting behind the scenes and all, guess I'll just return the curse then .
"Curses, like chickens, come home to roost . Be ashamed of your deed and act, realize the error of your way!"
I converged mana in my palm and chanted . Consuming about 40,000 mana point . The surrounding area is shrouded thick in mana . Chein and Afuro were panicking over that .
"『Curse Return』!"
With the magic cast, a black sphere emerged over my palm . The sphere floated toward the mage girl and sucked black mist-like thing out of her . It did the same to the necklace which then broke down into sand . The curse absorbed by the sphere wasn't that of the girl, it must be identifying the spellcaster's mana for the last step of this spell . Now go! Go along with that ominous curse!
FUSHUN, the sphere vanished . The Curse Return should work if everything goes well . Though folks who would do this kind of crimes are probably also prepared to deal with this . The spell seemed to have worked, the girl looked around restlessly, ascertaining what she had done .
"Umm, they're heavy, help me please . "
Oh, looks like she's come to her senses .
