Chapter 13 (1/2)

Chapter 13 – The Elven Little Girl is Cute

「Maa, is that so?」

Because Tira tried to desperately explain, Tira’s mama nodded in understanding in the end.

And then, Tira’s mama (I would like to know her name already) looked at Filia and said,

「Isn’t it great, Filia-san. Weren’t you scared?」

「Un, I was okay! Papa beat the scary guy!」

Scary guy……

Owen…… somehow, sorry……

「Well then, Okaasama. I think that I should start examining the research we obtained at once」

「Ah, about that. It’s unfortunate, but those doc.u.ments don’t have anything useful about treating Okaasan’s disease」

「Eh?」

「This can’t be cured with Healing Jutsu in the first place」

「T, that can’t be……」

「Ma, don’t worry. I already know the source of Okaasan’s disease」

I confidently approach Tira’s mama’s bed before Tira completely loses her confidence.

「This is a curse」

Curse.

Black magic.

It’s an ancient magic that diverges from this world’s system just like Healing Jutsu.

「Curse, is it……?」

「Yes. But, it isn’t something too troublesome…… Umm, Okaasan, just before your condition worsened, didn’t you touch some old looking tool or weapon?」

「I wonder…… It’s already more than a half year ago…… Ah, but, I was organizing our storehouse that time, so it may have been during that……」

「Then, that may be the cause. A spirit may sometimes dwell in old tools」

It’s known as Tsuk.u.mogami in j.a.pan.

「But, if you unknowingly throw it away, it will cast a curse on you in anger」

Humans have an occupation, Witch Doctor, who more or less specializes in dispelling such curses.

「Spirits who could cast such strong curse are very rare, though」

「You are very knowledgeable」

「Nono, it’s not that much」

「…… Why did your face redden?」

c.r.a.p.

Tira’s mama is naturally a married woman. No matter how cute she is, I shouldn’t be falling in love with her.

Rather, the husband is enviable.

Putting that aside.

The reason I know about the curse is, of course, thanks to my skill.

〈Pinnacle of Black Magic〉

I didn’t think it would be much of use, but I didn’t think it would be useful in a place like this.

「Yosh, you are fine now」

I dispelled Tira’s mama’s curse instantly.

「…… The ejection of magic power…… has stopped」

The magic power which was constantly being released suddenly stopped as if the faucet has been closed.

「Have you…… cured it?」

「Yes」

When I nodded, Tira suddenly started running while being overcome with emotions.

Is this perhaps……!

D, don’t panic.

This is where I should accept her feelings openly like a man!

I spread my arms wide and prepare myself to welcome her.

Saa, come and jump into my chest!

「Okaasama!」

The next moment, Tira runs past me and embraces her mama.

Right, huh~

「I’m glad…… Okaasama……」

「Arara, there’s nothing to cry about」

Tira’s mama gently pats the head of her sobbing daughter.

「Filia」

「N~?」

「Will you go outside with papa for a little?」

「Un」

I grasp Filia’s hand and leave the room.

It’s the Parent and child with no outsiders present thing.

I’m a man who can read the mood nanodearu.

By the way, beautiful scene of elf mother and daughter embracing each other was perfectly recorded in my memory with〈Pinnacle of Memory〉skill.

Let’s thoroughly enjoy it later.
