50 Episode 50 "How to Unwind the Correct Curse".txt (2/2)

Tears spilled from Rafilia's eyes.

'It's not Rafilia's fault, is it?

I run my fingertips over the words 'bad luck invitation LV3', 'surroundings' and 'attract'.

...... hiya, hiya! It's not. It's like Masutaa's fingers are touching every nook and cranny. The tingling comes from the tip of the ...... foot ...... tummy ...... coming up from the tip of the finger ...... ...my nerves are tingling. It's hot ............ me, me, me ............ and I can't go back! It's going to be .............

Each time that happens, Raphilia's white body splashes.

'This skill is probably a curse someone put on Raphilia.

The same as Rita's lock skill.

Someone tried to get Raphilia to do something without her knowledge. The result.

I thought that a 'fate interference system skill' would be the material for a 'skill that allows you to live without working'.

Because with the concept of 'attracting', I might be able to pull in money.

But no. It's too dangerous. I don't have time to look for or buy money-related skills.

There's no way to know what will happen in the meantime.

Bad Luck Level 3 is the worst kind of cursed skill I've ever seen.

I'm going to rewrite it all in one fell swoop while Rafilia accepts me.

I pinched the concept of the ”Bathing Aids” that I had installed on myself - ”Clean” and ”Rinse” with my fingers.

I slap them into 'bad luck'.

”──Hyahhhh!

Pushing in hard. Before those black chains come back.

'Hey, an. Oh no, you can't just go all the way into ...... at once, oh, anh!

Reflexively, Raphilia tries to wriggle away.

Her body hits the tree and stops. There is no escape.

Raphilia raises her eyebrows, closes her eyes, and accepts it as it enters her, like she's ready.

She gets up on her knees and puts her hands behind my back and continues to mumble like she's ranting.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's easy and glossy. It's pimply and smooth.

The 'bad luck invitation LV3' stopped resisting.

I lightly touch the 'clean' and 'wash out' that I pressed against the loose skill.

With that alone, Raphilia's skills swallowed the concept at once.

''Suki, suki, suki, suki, nn, nn, ah!''

Raphilia's body warps back as if she is about to break down.

Her large chest shakes and twitches.

The other lock skill, 'Survival Probability Increase LV5' is still intact.

There are no chains on this guy. There is no curse on it. It's harmless, so leave it alone.

The only thing that needs to be taken apart and destroyed is the 'bad luck invitation'.

Completely. There's no way we can stop him.

”All of your cursed skills are just gone!　Execute 'Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 3'!

──────────!

Rafilia's body splashed out with a jolt.

At the same time, a black chain flew out of the 'Ability Rebuild' window.

It changed its shape in the air and took the form of a small black person.

''That's it!

Confirmation of the fate manipulation experiment failure.

The little black shadow murmured.

'Experimental body. Raphilia-Grace. A human pillar. Control of fortune by concentrating misfortune. A dumping ground for misfortune, to make other places peaceful. Or to be sent to the Demon King's Army. Experiment failure confirmed. Confirm failure. Confirm skill annihilation──end'

Leggy!

I grabbed the magic sword Leggy, which was still on the ground.

A swing. If it's a motionless opponent, I won't miss.

The black shadows split into two and disappeared.

”So this is the true nature of the curse on Rafilia's skills: ......

”You're right, Lord, he's been possessed.

In his sword form, Reggie replied.

''I've seen the whole thing. It seems that this girl has an experimental 'fate interference skill' built into her. Probably a human pillar - to control fortune and bad luck by concentrating the misfortune on this person, and to keep the rest of the place calm.

'You mean, for example, in a village or something, only unhappy around Raphilia, but safe elsewhere?

I don't know.

'Or we could send Raphilia to the Demon King's army to spread misery among the demons.

”The wisdom of the elves will do that.

What is it that scares you when you feel happy or joyful?

”To get you used to being unhappy?　If you don't have any hope to begin with, you can't despair.

That sucks.

I agree.

That means that Rafilia was a victim of such an experiment.

The fact that this Rafilia was washed up in a port city means that she was either discarded like the Elderslime or was in the midst of an ongoing experiment ...... that I have no way of ascertaining. Either way, it means he's treated as a tool.

Even if it's to counteract the demon king, it's disgusting.

It's even worse than being summoned from another world and being used as a disposable visitor.

''I won't tolerate this!　It's utterly outrageous!

The Magic Sword Reggie trembled, as if he was outraged from the bottom of his heart.

''How dare you force such a beautiful girl into misery!　You'd think these girls would have the common sense to love and fondle and gorge themselves on them!　The tears must be from love and pleasure!　What a way to embed a skill that would lead to misery and make us shed tears of sorrow!　You should be ashamed of yourself!

'I agree with you about the first and last lines. Leggy.

Raphilia is lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

Her nightgown barely covers her from her belly down, and it's also soggy with sweat and stuff.

The collar hardware snaps with each small flinch, and Rafilia smiles happily with each one.

Raphilia's happiness is to be ...... dominated, isn't it?

I wonder how that's going to work out.

Anyway, the skill rewrite was a success. The ”Bad Luck Invitation Level 3” has disappeared.

Two new skills were created.

'Bad Luck Annihilation LV1' (Lock Skill: Unpickable Trait, UR (Ultra Rare))

The skill of ”washing away” misfortune in a ”clean” way.

By touching yourself or others, you wash away the misfortune (bring in good luck).

It takes a few minutes to activate, during which time the rack's parameters will spike. During this time, the rack's parameters will spike.

As a risk, Attack, Defense, and Magic Resistance are reduced to zero for 10 minutes after the skill ends.

There is a limit to the number of times it can be used. It will take several days to recharge after use.

This is the rewritten Rafilia skill.

'Slave Summoning (Sammoning Slave) LV1' (UR)

A skill that draws the body to its surroundings.

You can summon one slave of your choice to come to your master.

The summoned slave knows his master's coordinates accurately and will come to him 'no matter what the situation'. Therefore, be careful how you use it.

Also, a summoned slave cannot leave his master's side for a while.

You can only use it once a day.

This is my new skill.

'Bad Luck Annihilation' is a high-risk, high-reward skill that increases your luck.

Considering the risk of having zero defense and resistance, it seems to call for an unbelievable amount of luck.

I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to use 'Summon Slave' ....... Cecil, Rita, and Aine, they're all together all the time. It looks like you can use it to call the Magic Sword Reggie, though.

......It's a good thing I've been swept up in ...... the darkness.

Raphilia murmured vaguely.

'Yeah. But I can cancel the contract right away.'

I draped my own nightgown over Raphilia's body.

As I said in the beginning, Rafilia is a slave for 200 arsha. So I'll be a slave for a month or two at the most.

Once you're free, you'll be able to find a new identity again.

See, when you quit your job, there are people who wonder why you've been doing that before.

With that thought in mind, I picked up the parchment that had fallen to the ground.

The price for Rafilia's ”Skill Search” written there...

11200 Arsha.

Huh?

I looked back at the parchment.

I looked closer and saw that the ink was smudged at the numbers.

I'd placed it at the base of the tree so the night dew had fallen on it, and the ink had run off. It's creating the number 11, as if it were a measurement. I rub my finger over it, but it doesn't go away. Or rather, the ink has settled down unnaturally. Don't tell me that this is a formal contract by the ritual of ”contract”, so is the god effect working?

I see. You are recognized by the God of Covenants as the proof of your covenant.

”It's not a coincidence... isn't it, Reggie? Could this be the effect of Rafilia's 'bad luck'?

”Probably.

With a pop, the human-shaped Leggy that appeared nodded.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been in the same situation. It's not good luck for the Lord to keep control of the elven girl. So here we are.

I knew it was right to rewrite that skill quickly.

This is what happened in the short time between Raphilia writing the amount of money and the 'contract'.

What would have happened if I had been left alone .......

''Can't this be erased with 'Bad Luck Annihilation LV1'?

It's not gonna happen.

It's a God-level 'deal'.

”Yes.

Yeah.

”And it is not already a misfortune for her to be a slave of the Lord.

”...... What can I do?

Well, it doesn't matter if you're worried about it or not.

I held up Rafilia's body wrapped in her pajamas.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

'Ha, ha. Don't do it!　Not in front of you!

I was rattling around with a bright red face.

I explained the skills to Raphilia and told her about the contract amount.

Rafilia was surprised, but she was able to check her skills on her own.

And then occurred, the third time she got down on her knees.

I can't thank you enough for changing my fate!

Raphilia decided to get down on her knees with such splendor that she wanted to put 'Elf Kneeling' in the dictionary.

'This Raphilia-Grace. I will give my body and soul to the Master until I repay him for his kindness!

It's just so refreshing to hear it loud and clear.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you. It's not really me. I'm the righteous Rafilia-Grace, who protects everyone!

Huh?　Master, why do you have such scary, kind eyes?　Oh, please don't stroke my head. If you're going to stroke me, please take the collar ...... ...... I like to have the master touch me. ......... ...What?

He walked out next to me (and Leggy), rudely rambling like he was doing a funny dance.
