Living as an Unemployed in Another World

46 – 2. The Path of the Dagger (Complete)

27.

Alicia was watching everyone.

Even though someone else has taken her body and acts as if it were her own, that doesn’t mean her soul has completely flown into the Nether. She just sinks in the deepest part of her body, weighed down by the weight of that other soul.

She tried to talk to something on her body that had taken her body, but she couldn’t. Because the doctor was unilateral. There was no way human will could reach her god. Instead, she focused her consciousness outside her body.

Those who faint, those who weep, those who fall, those who fight. Many voices are heard. Riding on God’s omnipotence, her consciousness was also expanded. Thinking that the horrors in front of her eyes were all the work of her own body, her weak soul was overcome with despair.

‘No. This…….’

How did it end up like this? If the cost of preserving his life was to give himself up to evil spirits, he would not have wished for such a life in the first place.

She was listening to everything the Heretic Questioner said. Your father is dead? To this that occupied my body? One day he would be punished, and he wanted to receive a chance for atonement as well, but he was still the only family. She screamed out of reach.

‘No!! Help someone…… !

This is not what I wanted. I want something like this Like a curse, I wish I had accepted it without resisting. I didn’t want to live to the point of sacrificing the lives of countless people. What is it that has kept me living in fear so far?

In time, she accepted death. And, at that moment, her pink hair flutters and catches her square.

Although it is said to be omnipotent, the body is a girl’s body after all. Too poor to do all divinity. You can tell just by looking at how you can’t repel the priests’ attacks at the same time and take turns dealing with one at a time. Mira dug into the gap and distorted her composition in an instant. In an instant, she grabs her from behind and seizes her slender neck and holds her down.

“Jin!!”

I jumped out of my seat. Let’s keep it simple, nothing complicated.

Summarizing Alicia’s story, her curse is not a plague or a seizure. It is simply that the body is weak and gradually deteriorating, simply ‘not living long’.

And what Zulkar presides over is life. To be precise, it governs not life as a birth, but the remaining years and the soul as a sacrifice. It was he and his followers who made the lord old in the first place, sucked in the souls of countless people, and kept Alicia alive until now in return.

In that case, we need to think about where the curse came from. She won’t have to go far to find it. Those who serve Zul’kar would have wanted to put such a curse on the son of a powerful man and then use her life as an excuse to use them as their own limbs. In other words, self-made play from the beginning. They said it was just a show where they gave bottles and gave them medicine.

And now the time has come to put an end to all these ridiculous plays. I hurriedly tossed one of her precious jeweled necklaces at Mira, who was putting a hundred chokes on Alyssa Ah. Indeed, she unwrapped it in her straight line and wrapped it around her neck without me needing to explain it in words. No, I just need to stuff her neck. It seems that there was quite a bit of resentment.

“Kuk, gaug…… !”

Alicia’s white throat swelled red and her complexion turned pale again. At the same time, she felt the energy drain from her body in an instant. No, it’s not just because you’re out of breath, right? I looked behind Alicia as she stomped her feet, Mira’s face looking cheerful inside. You shouldn’t mess with him in the future.

As the gigantic presence faded in an instant, the Heretic Questioner grabbed my broken arm and approached me.

“…… What is that, I don’t think it’s something divine.”

“It’s a necklace, it puts a curse on it.”

“Curse it? Not solving it?”

“Yes. Exactly…… Was it the [Necklace of Horrible Nightmares].”

She simply swept expensive-looking trinkets in the jewelry box, but as expected, there were few luxuries that looked fine as her own. A terrible nightmare, that is, an item that does not cast an unspecified curse, but a curse that the opponent wearing the necklace ‘most desires’. It wouldn’t be of any use if it weren’t for the current situation, but seeing as the remaining fragments of Zul’kar struggle, it seems to have worked.

You cannot apply multiple curses in the same area. Just as you couldn’t both curse me to turn into a frog and curse me to turn into a snake at the same time. The ‘curse of longevity’ and the ‘curse of not living long’ are also in the same domain, so they are incompatible. One of them loses power and disappears.

To Alicia now, the ‘terrible nightmare’ is to continue this painful life. So, naturally, the curse of that necklace also becomes “To live a tragically long time.”

…… I thought that if I were Alicia, I probably wouldn’t want to live like this anymore.

Zulkarga is leaving. When Alicia’s curse was completely lifted by her necklace, the passage to her world also disappeared. Go back to where you should be.

“────.”

Soon, her presence subsides, and Alicia’s body loses its vitality and she sag. As her I signaled, her mummy quickly wrapped her arms around her, threw her to the floor, and hurriedly placed her necklace around her neck.

“Whoa… ….”

“What happened? Zul’kar’s presence had completely disappeared. Did that one necklace really make it?”

“I guess so.”

Anyway, even if it’s just a fragment, it can push away even the curse placed on it by a divine being. What the hell did that human make? The hair on the back of my neck stood up again and I felt chills. A chill runs through his body even more than when he first saw Zul Kar. Okay, when I go back, I won’t leave the room for a while.

Although the skin on her neck bleeds a little from the line, Alicia’s complexion gradually returns to normal red. I approached her only when I saw her mummy lay her on the floor.

“Is this what it is? Will it wake up again?”

“I will wake up. Even if you wake up, you won’t be able to have that child again.”

“I can’t believe there is such a thing…… Jin, what the hell are you?”

Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t even make that. I averted my gaze and Mira smiled as if she would not ask any more questions. And then, as if his body had lost strength, he collapsed and leaned on me. Well, the rampage up until now is nothing short of a miracle. I supported her with her body. Involuntarily, her hand touches her hip.

“Haa…… There is no strength in her body.”

“Good job. Really.”

“Really? Then, will you support me until I return? That, I wish I could carry it on my back.”

She said with a bashful smile like a girl. Do you like to be picked up by others? It’s a rather strange taste. There was nothing I couldn’t do now. As I leaned over to pick her up, I suddenly felt her gaze and looked straight ahead to see the tattered heretic inquisitor and paladin looking at us with her narrow eyes. No, even though the paladin is wearing a helmet, she seems to be making a similar expression for some reason.

“Where are you going? Both.”

“Uh… ….”

“Just the two of us to clean up this mess? They have no mercy.”

“That, at church… ….”

“It takes several days to get here from the capital. It is unknown how many people he could use even if he asked for a place in another territory. And, as an exaggeration, that lady over there is a criminal with a bounty. We can’t just let it go.”

“… ….”

The atmosphere suddenly becomes tense. No, let’s not do this. Why are players like this? Isn’t it customary for everyone to put their arms around each other and wash away the past after a fight like this? I tried to loosen her grip on her buttocks so that I could slip the mummy away, but the mummy clung to my back as if not wanting to fall. Why is he like this again

“What…… Therefore. Come back tomorrow..”

“Yes?”

“It’s not just about sending them. It is a story that you should go to sleep, take care of yourself, and come back tomorrow with a wagon. We have things to investigate and we can’t leave because we have to protect the mansion, so you guys should call someone to come and pick us up instead. Understand?”

“Oh, yes. Shall we come at noon?”

“Yes. And, if that thief girl doesn’t know, Jin, you have things left to explain to me, such as the necklace, right? Don’t think about running away I know where you live.”

Damn it. It is indeed a priest who serves the god of order. I was just about to say hello and hurriedly leave, but a knight wearing a helmet suddenly blocks the entrance to the ruined outbuilding. Then, after being surprised by something alone, he steps aside. Why are you like that Still, I have to say what I have to say.

“Hey, thank you. Everything.”

“… ….”

“The same goes for trusting me without any doubt…… Today, if only we had come, we would all have died. Therefore…… I will definitely repay this favor.”

It’s just words. If you have trouble with that power, how can I help you with that problem? He listened to me and tried to nod his head as usual, then quietly opened his mouth inside his helmet.

“…… Me too. Thank you.”

Me too? What are you talking about? More than that, the way she speaks is strangely feminine. I can’t recognize the voice, so I get this illusion. As I stood still to listen to the next words, Mira squeezed my stomach with her thighs, and I had no choice but to leave with a moan. I comforted him and carried him on his back, and he really whined like a child. I sighed.

So the two of us left the mansion without a word. It was already dark outside for her, and the raindrops fell on her as she walked across her garden and tickled the bridge of her nose, but I still had no desire to put her down on her back or run across her path in the rain. Did not I didn’t even have the energy to do that.

While the raindrops caressed the blue flowers in the garden, Mira muttered quietly in my ear.

“Camilla.”

“Huh?”

“This is Camilla. My original name.”

What are you talking about? Ah, by the way, she said that her teacher gave her the name Mira. It must have been the name her parents gave her when she lived with her family. As I nodded her head in response and moved her steps, Mira pouted a little, rubbing her forehead on my shoulder and muttering:

“Just know.”

“Then, shall we call it that from now on?”

“…… No.”

I nodded again this time. Well, it seems that the newly created name is more precious, even if it’s just to remember Master. It’s a pity though, it’s a pretty name. As I muttered to myself, Mira jumped startled and removed her forehead, then clung to it again and whispered softly.

“…… When it’s just the two of us, you can call me that.”

Why is this? Doing this way, that way. I smiled and walked slowly. It rained like a waterfall, but we never ran all the way to town.

As she went back, her dagger, which Mira had stashed in her pocket, kept stabbing her in my thigh. The next day we caught a cold together.

────The way the dagger goes.
