Chapter 9 - Volume 1 (1/2)

Volume 1

The day after the intense sex with Cecil is over.

I am currently hanging around lazily in the village. Speaking of Cecil…… It was impossible even for her legs to stand up, probably because I was intense yesterday.

She had shown something so shameful yesterday, and said that she doesn’t want to meet me today.

Well, saying “I’m sorry” while having half of her face covered with the sheets is still cute as ever.

Cecil acting shy, refined and all is really nice.

Now then, today, the cutest girl in this village, let’s……

“Hmm?”

As I walk further, there is a bunch of people forming a crowd.

Worried about it, I went to them.

“What happened?”

“Oh, Prince”

A middle-aged woman who realized it’s me gave an explanation.

“Actually……The cursed child has disappeared. Though it must have gone looking for something to buy……”

“The cursed child……”

Certainly the cillage chief has said something about it.

But, what the hell is a cursed child…?

“You went to the house of the village chief yesterday, right? Didn’t you hear the story there?”

“Quite, but I wasn’t paying any interest in it. I was told it was better not to go out in the meantime, but is that really dangerous?”

“Yes, that is so”

“How far was the damage dealt?”

In some cases, it might be necessary to ask father, and possibly put out the army.

It is important to check the damage situation.

However, the woman made a clouded face.

“The damage is……not really in particular……”

“Hmm? Then there is none?”

“Yes……”

“Then, there are signs of going wild in rage?”

“N-not that……”

“……”

There is no real harm and no sign of harm either.

But still a cursed child though.

“Then why are you so alert on this?”

Now that I see it, all the people in the crowd are male adults.

And, considering that there is such thing as a cursed child, then some event has happened that caused it.

“The truth is……the children in the village have also gone missing”

“Missing?”

If it is true, then this is a big deal.

“Then I’ll also look for them”

“The prince is?”

“Is it not good?”

“No way……is it just that for a trivial village like ours……it would be shameful to trouble your hands further”

“Don’t mind it. It’s just that I’m free”

The report from the spirits haven’t come yet, and Cecil is still sleeping.

I went out because alone in the room, stuck house-sitting. With that I became bored.

“If the fellow is a dangerous person, shall I get rid of it? I am confident in my self-defense skills, so don’t worry about me”

“Y-yes…..”

Perhaps it is considered bad for a prince of a country to do something like this.

Well, that is also true in a sense.

“Even if something happens, it’s my own responsibility. And rest assured, I am in no mood to die”

“……understood”

Convincing her, albeit reluctantly, I also joined the search for the “cursed child”.

We separated respectively, divided by the areas to look around for.

I acted alone and came near a pond that existed outside the village.

Besides the cursed child, all of the other children have gone.

A child’s conception is often wilder than an adult.

In other words, I chose a place whom you would not find very much.

Adults will be looking for the mountains in the village and adjacent to it.
