Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

"Huh, go ahead."

Knocking on the door returned an extended voice from the indoor.

The special browsing room is located on the basement second floor of the library.

It's a surprisingly quiet floor compared to the noisy ground floor eventually.

"Excuse me."

When I walked into the room, the first thing that popped into my eyes was a ton of books.

The bookshelf enough to reach the ceiling was packed with heavy back cover books.

So, on the big desk in the center of the room, a ton of books loaded high up with udders.

A woman who gave her chestnut hair to the chair in front of that desk - Mr. Clarice - was sitting down.

Mr. Clarice was the one who was there when I first used the curse (which, by the way, was not yours at that time).

Mr. Makina said, 'Because you know her better than I do' if you mean the curse.

... The truth is, I guess I should have visited her sooner.

and - apparently, she also wanted me to visit her soon,

"Hey, you made it. Hey, Mr. Curse Man? I couldn't wait ~"

And that was exactly what I was waiting for.

"Oh, erm... again, I'll introduce myself. It's Sora Kurohiko. Best regards,"

Mr. Clarice rises from his chair and bows carefully.

"I'm Clarice Fam. For once, the title is the administrator of the Document Control Office. Nice to meet you, Mr. Crohiko."

... Is that it?

Kurohiko: "Mr."?

"Nfu ~, in the East these days, you name it after" Mrs "or" Kun "or" Chan "in a friendly way ~? In Midsberia, it's hardly used, but I like it."

"Really?"

I don't know, I don't think it's the first time they've called me after coming over here.

Mr. Clarice brings a round chair that was in the corner of the room, making a Goto noise, urging him to sit down.

"Duh."

"Oh, thank you."

Sitting in a chair, facing Mr. Clarice.

"Uh-huh... that verse is all kinds of annoying..."

"No ~, never mind. But... I didn't even dream of seeing the day when the curse would be used ~"

…………

The same goes for the first impression I felt, but I don't know where to grasp it... it's someone with a fluffy air.

Also, unlike when I saw her before now, she wore big round glasses.

... Was it because you weren't wearing glasses for a little while then?

But I'm already looking at her when I took my glasses off, so if I took my glasses off, they're actually so cute! It is unfortunate, to say the least, that we can no longer expect a targeted event.

Well, even with my glasses on, this guy's cute.

"Well, Mr. Crohiko"

"Yes."

"You came to ask me about the curse, didn't you?

With my spine stretched, I return the word of affirmation.

Then Mr. Clarice exhaled heavily, just saying he was tired of waiting.

"As you know, on that occasion that day - I mean, Mr. Krohiko was there for the first time using the curse, three people, including me, were given a strict dictum by the school director, right?

After that, the three men who witnessed the curse had been strongly told by Mr. Makina not to speak out that Sora Kurohiko was the curse banner.

So, to Mr. Clarice, even later,

'Especially since you'll be intrigued, but now he'll be used to school life, so... until he comes to visit himself, keep him calm.... because I'm sure I'll be visiting you in time'

He said he was accompanied.

…………

Really, the school director is someone who gives me some kind of attention to the details.

"So I've already been waiting for you to visit here ~! So, Mr. Crohiko...... what would you like to hear? That's it."

Right.

After all, first of all,

"Curse me. In the first place, what is it?

"Ho ho, there you are all of a sudden. Well, that's not the best question."

Whoa, and Mr. Clarice coughs up.

"I guess we should talk about this from the Yugdrasier myth first...... well... the myth will be done wide and thin in the upbringing class, so let's narrow it down to just the part where the curse comes out"

and go back to mythical times......

"Did you know that Yugdrasier mythology is divided from canonicality, diplomacy, and pseudocrisy?

Mm-hmm.

The classics and the excerpts did come out a little bit in today's class.

So, I know.

But...

"Falsehood is the first time."

"Well, in school classes, I only teach the canonical and even if I do it, I only teach the exterior... But having a statement about the curse is a phony one. In addition, among its pseudonyms, a story that is particularly popular with some layers… that is the story of the Curse King."

"Curse King..."

"This story, if you're interested in history, you probably know it."

"If you're a little familiar with history, everyone on this continent should know."

Speaking of which, before, when I heard about the curse, the school director said that.

"What shall we do? I can talk to you, but if you want to read it as a book, I'll lend it to you... but I can talk to you."

…………

He said he talked about it very much.

Russia, it's sparkling my eyes.

As far as Mrs Makina's previous remarks are concerned, perhaps Mr Clarice, someone who likes to talk to people.

"I'd love to hear it from Mr. Clarice."

"Hahaha! It seems so, Mr. Krohiko! Now, strangely enough, I will tell you the story of the Curse King ~!

Mr. Clarice then began to tell the story of the Curse King, portrayed in a mythical pseudonym.

What she said was largely something like this.

In the age of mythology, this Middlesberian continent was inhabited by two beautiful sister gods.

Sister's, military god Louvel Argan.

And my sister's, the Holy God Renault Thread.

At one point, the sisters started quarreling over trivial matters.

but badly, no god could stop these sisters, because they were particularly overwhelming among the many gods.

And gradually the scale of the quarrel grows, and finally, as a result of their quarrel, they even fall into the state of affairs that the continent itself could be destroyed.

The other gods living in Midsberia have become troubled.

And there, one man showed up.

The man named himself 'The Curse King'.

Originally, he was the king who governed the Gao Zhenno Nation (now considered the Eastern Country), but when he saw the weak and exhausted gods of Midsberia, he came to mediate a sisterly fight.

The statement of whether he was a god or not, does not exist.

Some theories say he was a demigod, others say he was the first human being.

Now, that curse king uses strange powers that the gods have never seen - brilliant, and succeeds in stopping the sisters' feud.

Plus, it even makes the sisters make up.

The sisters preferred the Curse King, and the other gods praised the Curse King.

"And if that's the case, congratulations, it's a really good story."

That being said, Mr. Clarice continues the conversation.

The Curse King, who ended his purpose by making up his sisters, told the gods that he had already finished his role and that he would return to Gaozhenno country.

but the Midsberian gods desperately retained the Curse King because they feared that their sisters would start fighting again when the Curse King was gone.

The Curse King, broken by the Gods' plea, only decided to remain in Midsberia for a few more moments.

Then the gods, when something went wrong beyond their control, begged the Curse King to help them and solve the problem.

The Curse King, he had no choice but to continue to listen to them.

Oh, no, one day.

The holy god Renault Thread realizes that there is something wrong with the Curse King.

Oddly enough, that day was also the day Renault Thread decided to make a confession of love to the Curse King.

And the sister, the military god Louvel Argan, had, in fact, already noticed the anomaly of the Curse King.

but she was also in favor of the Curse King, which was why she was afraid and unable to say that the Curse King would be banished.

From here on out, the story suddenly becomes cluttered, partly, flying.

Nor are the thoughts of the gods depicted, but only the matters that are supposedly happening become compatible.

The Curse King turned into a beast.

The Curse King, transformed into an incarnation of brutality, was defeated and dying by the hands of Louvel Argan and Renault Thread.

Thus, the Cursed King, who had also become unbroken in sight, was sealed by Louvel Argan and Renault Thread into the "Hell of the Earth" that it was somewhere in this world.

"It's a story..."

…………

Is it okay to say that it is a sudden fall?

Sure, it would be a happy ending if we had just ended up having a sisterly divine fight.

But then...

As we get to the second half, the descriptions become simpler and the only body in which matters are concordant also... kind of feels creepy.

"This story is in the first place. Hey, you're distant from some people in that something unlikely is happening in the classics and in the outings that the military god Louvel Argan and the holy god Renault Thread are making a difference. On the other hand, many people prefer that human odor."

I see, is that why it was considered a phony?

"Oh, and some people say that the 'prison world of the earth', where the Curse King is sealed, is deep in the ground of the end-of-life home. According to them, the land became so much because of the curse of the Curse King."

... One, I had my doubts.

"Um... that Curse King named himself 'Curse King', didn't he? Does that mean that I was using 'no curse' because you knew?

"Mm, you've noticed a good point, Mr. Crohiko"

Kuck, and Mr. Clarice pushing up the spread of his glasses.

"Actually, this pseudonym, some ancient documents may also describe it as' Holy Curse 'rather than' Curse King '... and' Holy Curse King 'rather than' Curse King '. Ambiguity and ambiguity around here are also the reasons why this story is deceptive..."

"I mean... could someone have rewritten 'Curse King' later?

"Yeah, I can't say it's impossible. So maybe the Curse King didn't know that what he was saying was a spell to be forbidden... but he hasn't figured out what it was to be a 'forbidden and spell' yet"

"I see..."

But you don't know the pros and cons, do you, Mr. Clarice?

On the contrary, even the original myth is not mentioned.

The "turned into a beast" part of the story of the Cursed King I just heard feels somewhat ominous...

"So, what do you think of Crohiko, who actually used the curse? Do you have any physical pain or nightmares?

"No, so far..."

For once, should I tell you this?

"I just... sensibly what, but I don't think there's anything like a disadvantage to me.... this is somehow a curse injunction, you know?"

"Ho."

"Or maybe I just don't feel like it's a 'downside'..."

"Hmm, that's a very interesting discussion..."

"Um... if there's anything else you know about the curse, can you tell me?

"... hehe, that's good, Mr. Crohiko. Oh, my God, you're promising. Of course, as time permits, let us talk!

Glamorous, Clarice.

And I was taught a lot about the curse by her.

The text describing the curse, he said, is quite there.

In the past, however, there have been instances where the newly created chanting magic has been falsely attempted to systematize it as a 'curse ban', and thanks, the information seems to be messing with them.

For this reason, it is quite difficult to tell which exactly describes the 'curse ban'?

He also said that, although there appear to be many features in the ancient literature of the ages, statements about the curse somewhat differ sharply between the parts described in detail and those not described at all.

For example, a description like this is an exact category.

"There is a statement 'cannot be used on subjects who do not have life'.... Because of this, would you like to try it?

So, I used a curse ban on the broken chair Mr. Clarice prepared for me.

but nothing happens.

I don't know how far it is in the 'having life' range, but it is probably the equivalent of a 'willing organism' that is the activation condition.

I heard a lot more about the curse, but the pros and cons remain unknown.

However, according to Ms. Clarice's reasoning, the "curse ban" was supposedly due to the fact that "The Story of the Curse King" had long been a certain popularity, even though it was described in a pseudonym that went beyond the classic to the outer realm.

Originally, pseudonyms were abhorrent in ancient times, so I found it quite convincing to talk about whether people at the time rewrote "holy curses" to drop their images and make them "curses".

Indeed, if you rewrite and describe 'holy curse' as' curse forbidden ', you get a' contraindication '.

In other words, only the name 'Forbidden and Spelled' is walking along, and in fact, there is a possibility that there are no disadvantages.

Also, it was Clarice's view that the difference between when the information on the curse could and could not be retrieved was probably whether I was in the process of using the curse.

For the most part, I was convinced.

Then, the curse document of the curse ban, but once someone reads it out loud and masters it, they say it's likely that someone else will not be able to read it anymore (even though I seem to be the only one who can read it so far).

The rationale is that Ms Clarice said that

'Cause the color of the letters in the spell document is changing'

That seems to be the case (speaking of which, after using the curse for the first time, the color of the letters that were black had become discolored).

"Well, the acquisition of spell documents in other countries and end-of-life towns is the domain of the school director... I'm also interested... just across the border, it's hard"

So, for the first time, Mr. Clarice gave a disgruntled look.

"I just don't subtly understand the schoolmaster... The curse document is not just a material of historical value, but from the curse king's favorite historical enthusiast, it's just, coveted...! Well, the dean did. That's why it was so easy for me to borrow a spell ban document that was the dean's personal possession..."

The day I first came to this world.

Ms. Clarice said she borrowed academic material, including a spell ban document, from the person who owns it - that is, the dean of the school.

So, on the way home, he bowled with me on the stairs in the school.

Hmm, Mr. Clarice roars and thinks.

"Is there anything else about the curse... Oh, yeah"

He remembered something.

All you can ask is what you can ask.

"I'm talking about the Curse King, but you may seem so old to hear the story of mythology... that's actually pretty young, isn't it?

"... Oh really?"

I don't care if this sounds informative... but right now, I want to know everything I know.

"Yep. There's a good description left, which is also common in many literature"

"... I mean, pretty sure?

"Yes. So, that curse king remembered the first curse - he's sixteen. It's also a description of this age that has demigod theories and human theories. Well, the reason why the Curse King is so popular with young people is because of his age and beauty."

"Heh, sixteen -"

…………

Wait.

Sixteen?

I mean... just like me right now, right?

…………

I never really thought about being young.

I can't say it well...... I thought it was' something like that '.

But... why did I get younger until I was a teenager?

Why - was it 'Mid-teen'?

Assuming I'm sixteen now... I also remember the first curse when I was sixteen...

…………

Coincidence, I guess.

Yeah.

The first theory I thought, "I'm young to my mental age" sticks better to me...

But it was also true that this strange code... for a moment, I felt something somewhat manipulative.

…………

"... Mr. Crohiko? Are you all right, sir?

"Huh? Oh, excuse me"

"Mmmm ~? Oh, well, is this the time already? Huh?"

When I looked at the clock in the room, the time there had passed.

Is it already at dusk outside?

Mr. Clarice smiles, including self-restraint, and puts his head on.

"Oh, I'm sorry... Mr. Krohiko has been listening to me for a long time, and I've been talking too much."

"No, I was grateful. I'm a little familiar with the curse."

"If you say so, I feel comfortable too... Was..."

"Well, it's time for me. … today, thank you"

"Ah, Mr. Crohiko"

When I got up, Mr. Clarice grabbed the hem of his uniform.

Geez, I'm staring up at you.

"Mine is the one I thank...... not really, because no one is interested in my story. … so today was fun"

Smile a little, Mr. Clarice.

It kind of soothes me.

Such a grin.

"This way, I appreciate it. I... I don't know much about this continent because I'm from the eastern countryside."

"Then if you need to know anything, be sure to come back here"

"Yeah, I will"

And, suddenly, Mr. Clarice shut up.

And

"Um, Mr. Crohiko... you pinched it in your ear when you couldn't handle the sacrament"

I laugh bitterly at her words.

"Looks like it."

In Mr. Clarice's ear, too, the matter seemed to have arrived.

"... but in the future, we're going to have a holy ruin attack, right?

"Of, I intend to"

After showing a slight patrol, Mr. Clarice opened his mouth.

"For once, I have something to tell you…"

Leaving the library, the sun was falling.

…………

Look at the blur and the sky.

"I will, I see..."

I shrugged, remembering what Mr. Clarice taught me.

and so,

"Hmm?"

A shadow leaning against the passageway pillar caught my eye.

"... Currier,?

The shadow was Mr. Currier.

"Hmm... uh... that's an odd encounter"

Obviously it feels like you've been waiting for someone... maybe you've been waiting for me, or something?

"Oh... nothing, I'm not getting ready for a Holy Site attack.... I don't know, that... even for dinner, I was wondering if we could..."

"Sure, it's an odd encounter"

The pillar on which Mr. Currier was leaning.

from its just opposite pillar, appeared in the

"SE, Mr. Cecily!?

Hi, and Cecily smiles at me.

Then she confronted Mr. Currier.

"Just thought I'd invite Crohiko to dinner, too."

"Chip... you're the one who was following me"

"Ha... what the hell is this about? I happen to see a crohiko heading to the library… just chasing it?

"... that's quite grand."

Phew, and Cecily with a clear grin, arms loose.

"Of course it is. For example, I would never do an imitation of hiding from the shadows during lunch break."

"... hey, that sounds pretty good, lady Sama"

What...?

Sparks, scattered......!?

"Um... oh, both of you, if you don't mind, dinner for the three of us, etc., how about -"

When I tried to break between them while grating,

"Oh?"

To?

"Apparently, you're done talking to Clarice.... and it's kind of fun."

He showed up in the main building.

"Mr. Makina...?

No way, he was the school director.
