Chapter 26

Translator: Mythko

I’m not an ordinary person

By the ti around me, I knew it

Sometimes, unbearable pain dominates my entire body

There were several kinds of pain, soh the body, so dull pain

But the kind of pain that I hate theyour heart

It is only at that moment that it is difficult for me to breathe and my tears start to overflow from my eyes

Being too strange, appraisal was used on , and as result it was discovered that I was suffering from a curse skill called 【16th Seal of Death】

「Maria… Don’t worry, father will cure you by all means possible」

Even so, I was still blessed with a family

Even though I’hter, everyone around me has been very kind

Many people moved desperately in order to heal my curse skill

In the process, it became clear why I suffered from this heavy curse

An honorable ancestor of the Albert house defeated a black oAt that time, a spell that causes the descendants to suffer was cast

But it doesn’tto catch the curse since a my family, my father and brother are okay

Only I continued to suffer for a long time

「We don’t have much time and yet…」

「Kuu, why is not me who suffers from that curse!」

「Let’s find someone else fro」

It was the night when I was celebrating my 16th birthdayAs I went down the stairs to the first floor froh the door discussing

It see about my curse

As long as I possess the 16th Seal of Death skill I will not be able to live another year

My fa the cooperation of the royal fa curses

But even so, not one of them was able to cure me

「Why… even when… I still want to live…」

Afraid of turning 16 years old, I cried all night untilevery birthday

But thanks to that, I made a decision

「ーI want to enroll in the hero school」

When I announced such a thing at breakfast, my whole family, while surprised, tried to stop me

That I should concentrate on healinglike that

But even so, only this tily expressed my opinion

「Even if my illness is cured, I will end up uneo to schoolI’m sure that while I’m there, I’ll find a way to cure myself」

My whole family respected my opinion

If I have to be honest… I had already resigned myself

That escaping from the clutches of the 【16th Seal of Death】would be impossible

Then, until my last breath, I will live nobly as Maria Fuiana Albert

I prepared myself for that

Together with my childhood friend Amane anted to come with me, we enlisted to the school

From that moment, I was surprised twice

The first, a group of three people passed the first exa marks

Noir-san, Emsan, and Lenorsan

The second, the stone that Noir-san threw using the 【Stone Bullet】 ic was smaller than normal

Regardless ofnoblesI received the guidance of great and private tutors

Aood teacher specialized inlike this before

「The stone bullet is a ic that is not used muchNo matter who uses it, the size almost does not vary at allThat is the reason why it doesn’t e」

「Is that right?」

「Ah, but… there are exceptions tooTwo hundred years ago, there was an adventurer na stone as a tiny one」

「How could be possible?」

「Maybe she possessed an editing skill」

「Then, the descendants of that esteemed person, maybe…」

「That person disappeared while being unmarried」

「Is that, right…?」

If that person is able to edit skills, then wouldn’t she be able to change my curse?

But even such faintest hope was crushed immediately

As expected, I won’t be able to erase this curse

While I was thinking such a thing, on the day of the exa the stone bullet of Noir-san, an epherow inside my heart

Noir-san may have the ability to edit skills?

I judged that Noir-san was not an ordinary person due to the overwhel points that he achieved

I want to talk to him!

Even if I wanted to do such a thing, to speak to him suddenly would be disrespectful

After a few days, luckily I was able to catch sight of Noir-san and EmsanThey looked so intiathered courage and went to greet them

…Good, I was able to talk with Noir-san

In the future, I will ask hi skill

Or so I thought, but I was naive

A few days later, I was fighting against the pain since

Food doesn’t go throughmakes my chest hurt hard

But even so, I’ schoolToday is the day I will ask Noir-san about whether he has the editing skill or not

「Haa, haaa, it hurts… it hurts…」

My chest began to tighten and I was unable to move from the side of the stairs

I may die today

It’s scary and I feel like crying

Then, as if a God was giving h the corridor

The good neas not limited to that

「I’ you so many problems because my body is weak」

「The truth that is due to the curse skill, right?」

「…Why, such a thing?」

ーーNoir-san saw through everything

Before I’hAbout what kind of curse, and about its effect

Another a is that he even said that he is able to freehis life force

I couldn’t do anything but express my thanks,

We onlyabout me all this ti in front of hith

Just in case, I returned to my home

After school, Noir told that he would visit soon my house

I closedBut, could be this due to a curse?

This sensation didn’t stop for a long time

Even with the pain in an to absentmindedly observe the scenery outside the

「Young lady, are you waiting for an important person?」

The butler who has served Albert’s house for a long time says curiouslyIt is the person who took care of me from my childhood, one of the many people whom I can confide

「Yep, a classmate will arrive soon」

「Could it be a man?」

「That’s… rightWhy do you know such a thing?」

「Oh dear, the young lady is already at that age? This senileable tolady before my death」

「Sweetheart!? You’re rongWe are just barely friends」

「Is that so? You looked like a woman deeply in love… Oh, somebody has come? Wait a second」

It seems that somebody called to the door

The butler brought a man and a woman with him

One of them is Noir-san, the person I expected

And the other one, it was a beautiful half-elf woman

In truth, I have met once with the woman named Lunsan

She was one of thecurses that my family looked for

She is a very capable person who is also active as a saintBut even so, she was unable to remove my curse

「Noir-san? That person is…? 」

「Yes, you ht? She is called Maria, the person ill have to remove the curse」

「I’ able to re Noir say that the curse will kill the person in question if we let it be, I noticed my mistakeThis time I will dispel the curse without a doubt」

I felt it since I met her, this person is a very courteous and trustworthy personI also know that she is trusted by the masses as Saint

「Could it be that at that time you refused for some special reason?」

「That’s correct,itAccording to the strength of the curse, an equivalent in life force has to be paid」

「Such thingThen the reason why…!」

「Such thingThen the reason why…!」

I shake my headNow I can hardly ask for it

Lunsan is a saint who is needed by e for another person’s life

However, Noir-san has a gentle smile on him

「It’s okayI have changed the necessary compensation with my edit skill」

「Umu, MaridonoThere is no problem at allThen, let’s heal youClose your eyes, please」

「Y-Yes」

I closed my eyes as they asked me to

I can feel that I was touched around my chest

I could feel strongly that soan to flow inside of me

「It should be the end with this… Do you feel pain somewhere?」

When asked by Lunsan, I noticed that my condition improved drastically

My chest… it doesn’t hurt at all
