17 Hinami and Ikuru – 5

Ikuru had taught me about this world <retisurīru>

The story about person with the <curse>> is not in the book of general inforiven to me by God

The book of general knowledge only contains how to calculate money and the brief history of this world It was also described by each continent, siraphy it has Furthermore, monsters and demons that appear near by was mentioned However, the Goddess Retisurīru was not mentioned

The thief who stole the ”jewel flower” from the Goddess Retisurīru And their descendents They are engraved with the <curse>> on their chest, status reduction, reduction of attack ic useable and an abnormal status

There is only one way to release it

Engaging in a contract for five years

Those who decide to engage in a contract are called ”curse slaves” and the curse slave merchants mediate the contracts

Then the person who bought it and the cursed slave does a ”contract of engageh

The contract only lasts for five years, and after five years the <curse>> will disappear

People can have the <curse>>, but it is not a necessity to erase it If a person does not wish to become a slave, they will have the <curse>> for life

Therefore, the amount of people that carries the <curse>> does not di birth to a child, that child will also bear the <curse>>

Then, why is it dangerous to be a ”slave”? It is because religion exists everywhere

It is thought that a person with the <curse>> is an enemy to the Goddess Retisurīru, and therefore an enemy to them Therefore, there are not very many places where they are treated well

But it seems like he is normal contact with a person whose <curse>> has disappeared

This the system of slavery in this world

The Goddess's <curse>> is called a ”curse slave syste of a contracts is done by a es the curse slavery contracts

It's said that those who believes in the Goddess have begun to call the ”curse slave village” where Ikuru lived by a coe where people become curse slaves” It is called curse slaves, since they trade themselves for a contract to be free

Such a sad system… I think it would be better if it were to disappear

”Hina”

”Eh!?”

More ti the things that Ikuru had told ht from the market was scorched That's iot here was scorched……a failure

”You were thinking about the curse slaves?”

”……Was it obvious?”

”Obvious However it's not so that Hinami-sama needs to worry about particularly?”

”Well, that may be so, but”

”But?”

”But it's a sad story So that was important to the Goddess was stolen… but why is the Goddess…nowhere?”

Theboard, where I cut off the burnt parts

Ikuru is chuckling as he isthe soup My idea may be hypocritical But… I want to help the Goddess

It is because the <curse>> still exists … that the Goddess's sorrow is continuing?

”It is said that the Goddess is still somewhere in the this world… If it's Hinami-sama who is an excellent pharmacist, you may be able to meet her someday”

”Eh! Megami-sama are you there…?”

”The Goddess's church says that the Goddess loves nature, so the Goddess loves people who are close to nature like pharmacists

The Goddess may be still be here…! If it's true, then I would want to ht be troublesome to her

However, it's sad I want to meet her, but I don't know if I can see her I wish for the Goddess to be happy And I think that it would be nice to lose such a sad <curse>>

”Well, I made the soup and salad, is Hinami-sama's meat… ok?”

” U~tsu…! No, it's perfectly fine!”

Put the meat and the rice, which was cooked in a pot, into a bowl

My eating habits has improved from the two years that I have lived here, except for et froh it's completely random… I noticed it several tioods which appears in the point exchange So this house has become very comfortable to live in

However, there are no explanations for theotten co about it too deeply

But, I went to the city and from now on… I firmly believe that I want to live as myself

”Itadakimasu”

A stomach is filled when two people are seated!

ButEven though everyone will eventually experience it… but I'm still embarrassed! I would like enter a hole if I had one The items on the menu that I had cooked include etable soup and the salad Wait, does Ikuru have higher girl’s ability than me? No, that's not true Absolutely

”Ah… I' warm”

”The soup made by Ikuru is delicious!”

”Yes? I can only make soup”

Fu fu, I do have higher girl's ability, I'm relieved!

”Why only soup?”

”Because it was not a wealthy village, I just o to sleep, so my ability to make soup was improved”

”Only soup at night, it see”

”Hinah, so it isn't necessary”

Hmm Is that so?

I do not know ht since there isn't a scale, but I am usually confident, but I do not know anymore Or rather, it's because Ikuru is skinny Oh, I see, he has a figure of a ives off a feeling of an idol

”Separately, because it isn't burned, it's ok The pepper is effective, and good”

”I'lad!”

As Ikuru was eating the ot impatient to see if it tasted okay I i it as I was chewing it I bought a little extra meat, so I put it in the basement, since items do not deteriorate in there

”Oh, that's right!”

”What?”

”The jewel flower of the Goddess, what is it?”

”Oh… it is a gemstone like mineral which is the favorite of the Goddess of nature, in theory though it's shaped elaborately like a flower”

”Jewelry and flowers … it's very Goddess-like”

But ould you steal it? I guess it's worth so about it I'll ask God about it in the exchange diary later

”It feels really nice to eat a meal with someone”

”What is it, suddenly saying that?”

”Oh, I just thought of it”

All of the dishes are eaten up and tea is made after thephysical fitness After all, if you are japanese, you drink tea Oh, wait, I was japanese Am I a Retisurīru citizen now?

After this… I will collect points and enlarge the rooed points for a roo, but I wonder if there's anything else that needs to be added, I can't think of anything right now Well I will add it whenever I notice it… I wonder if that's okay

Oh, that's right

I had forgotten about it because Ikuru was tellingwith hi in particular, but I am still nervous

…When I gli about this I am as calm as I can be…!
