Chapter 43: The Hour: Blame Me?
Tokyo, Nerima Ward.
Among the huge mansions of the 3,000-courtyard family.
"I can feel the cursed aura on Ayasaki-san's body, but I can only tell it when I get closer, and if I close the distance, the aura is no different from his own breath......"
Mu Xiu spread his hands and said helplessly.
The nature of this curse is indeed strange, after all, the original meaning of "curse" is generally to pray for evil spirits to inflict some bad things on a specific person who is cursed. That is to say, a person is cursed and encounters something bad, which is the basic routine.
For example, if you walk on the road, you will encounter riots......
For example, the air in the bag of potato chips blows into the flu......
For example, there is a young detective in the hotel where you are staying......
And so on, such unfortunate things can be encountered no matter how absurd they are, just as the probability of a plane crash is very small, but there are still people who will encounter it, it is just a specific extension of that routine.
But the unfortunate cursed will hate such a development, after all, no one will accept those bad luck calmly.
However, according to Saginomiya Isumi, once this curse is completed, then the cursed person will become a boy who likes to wear women's clothes all his life.
Instead, it will become a lifelong "liking" to wear women's clothes...... Such acts of a voluntary nature.
"Yes, although the specific effect of the curse is more like a bad joke, but purely in terms of the duration of the curse's effect and the strength of its effect, it is an extremely rare level, quite high......"
Egremiya Isumi said seriously, "The aura of the curse is almost directly integrated into the inner part of Xiao Sa's soul, so I am not sure about it......"
“…… So, what does that mean? The debtor butler was already in a cold sweat, and although he didn't understand it, his instinct of crazy warning was enough to say it all.
"In other words," Egremiya Isumi blushed slightly, raised his sleeves and turned his head.
Mu Xiu took over and said softly: "That is to say, once this curse is completed, the mechanism of the effect produced will change from the inside out, and the situation will probably get worse, the kind of bad level that you can't imagine......"
"Wait, I think it's bad enough now!!" Ayasaki screamed in a cold sweat, he pulled the hem of his maid's apron, and deeply felt the malice of this world, the worst thing is that there are still people who think that it is not bad now?
"Heh, it's just forcing you to wear women's clothes and you can't take them off, which of the two do you think is worse if you like to wear women's clothes and won't take them off?"
Mu Xiu couldn't help but sneer, and spared no effort to deal a major blow to the debt housekeeper from the mental aspect.
“……!!” With a swipe, Ayasaki's entire face turned black, and he didn't dare to imagine that kind of picture at all, for fear that it would be a devastating blow to his sanity.
“……”
“……”
Except for Egremiya Izumi, the faces of the other girls changed slightly at the same time, but they were not the kind of instant blackening or similar expressions, more like they liked to see or wanted to be wrong.
People are divided into groups, and things are gathered by likes, so everyone is an upright person. Everyone will have a good time......
"That, Mr. Mu Xiu, please don't continue to stimulate Xiaosa...... Mental fluctuations can weaken mental defenses, making it easier for the curse to take advantage of its effects and making it more difficult to eradicate...... We—we're going to figure out how to solve this problem, right? ”
Egret Palace Isumi whispered in embarrassment.
"The way of runes is not good, at least in terms of my own knowledge of runes, there is no way to solve such a problem."
Mu Xiu shook his head and directly rejected one way, but in fact, there was only one way for him to use his current occult methods. Although it is said that it has been strengthened to the level of "Primordial Run" of the late double S level, it can almost reach the level of mastering the infinite art, and can cover any occult field.
However, that is also a late-stage level, and it really has nothing to do with his current ability to only have a double C level of "Ancient Lunwen Mastery".
Moreover, if Mu Xiu reached the fourth-order intermediate level, the subtle level of control would penetrate deep into the soul level, and he could directly cause real damage to ghosts and spirits, and he would also be able to pull out the curse power rooted in the soul...... But that's for later.
For now, the only way Mu Xiu can solve the problem that Ayasaki is experiencing is probably the direct repair function of the main god's light orb, and the exchange of special items from it to use these two methods.
Egret Palace Yi Cheng is also a little helpless about this, but Mu Xiu's rune knowledge mastery ability can be directly strengthened through the empowerment of the main god, although she got the basic Luen script and combination formula rules from the other party, but she also has to master and learn from scratch, and her attainments are not as good as the former.
As for other means, there is no such thing as a good way.
After all, she had long wanted to deal with the cursed puppet, but the cursed puppet was not easy to suppress before the power was activated, and now that the curse has been activated, the puppet itself has no effect. There is no entity, and there is no way to start.
"Isn't there a way to get rid of it directly?" The debtor housekeeper was almost in tears.
"There are some, but I don't recommend them ......for the time being," Mu Xiu replied, "but maybe you can consider the idea of unlocking the curse by completing the requirements step by step in the normal way......
"Hmm!! Miss Izumi, please tell me what I need to do to break the curse! This is the request of my life! ”
Ayasaki suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and the sudden receipt of so much information had a strong mental and psychological impact, which made him almost unable to think normally. After all, he had never had such an experience, wearing women's clothes and talking about it under the gaze of familiar people.
Therefore, he always felt that if the professionals could not solve it directly, then there was no hope for everything. Now, after being reminded, it suddenly occurred to me that there was still a possibility of lifting the curse through normal means.
As for Mu Xiu's statement that there is a direct solution, but it is not recommended for the time being, he did not doubt anything. I just think that it is a way to not be safe and insured, and it is best not to use it until the end, at best, it gives him a reassurance.
"Yes, the way is to defeat the princess on the puppet stage before the end of Daughter's Day......"
Egret Palace Yi Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then looked in Mu Xiu's direction instead, "That is, before midnight tomorrow, defeat the master of the highest place in the nearby area, and then the curse can be lifted......"
"The owner of the highest place in the neighborhood? Could it be ...... The White Emperor's Bell Tower? Sanzenin Nagi thought about it, and almost immediately reacted, "In that case, the princess on the puppet stage means"
"That's right, it's the student council president......" Esunomiya Isumi nodded and admitted.
"That's great, since you both know each other, then as long as you explain the reason, the other party will deliberately lose to you, right?" Aizawa Saki stroked his chest easily, as if he had taken a long breath, and said in a brisk tone.
“……”
“……”
There was a strange silence.
"Wait, what are you looking at me like that?"
Mu Xiu's eyebrows twitched strangely a few times, and he noticed that except for Miss Maria and Sakuya Aizawa, who were a little ignorant, everyone else was looking at him almost directly, and they were staring at him all the time.
"That, classmate Mu Xiu, shouldn't this matter be handed over to you?" The debtor steward said with hope in his eyes.
"You should be very spiritual, Ayasaki-kun......" Mu Xiu turned his head to look at the open space next to him, then thought about it for a while, and asked another question: "May I ask, what should the other person who has been recruited do?" ”
“……”
“……”
Only then did everyone remember that if this statement was true, then in addition to the debt housekeeper, there was another unlucky guy who had also been tricked. And in a sense, that person is probably more unlucky, because he probably doesn't know anything.
After all, the curse puppet's original curse judgment mechanism was to bring disaster to the most unlucky people in the neighborhood after it was activated, and following such a standard Egremiya Isumi was able to easily lock down the debt steward.
Because unless it's Ujo Danma who crosses over, it's not to mention the nearby range, even in the world, there are few people who can compete with Ayazaki Sa in bad luck.
But then again, if Shangjo Dangma had crossed over, Mu Xiu would definitely know who the other person was.
But the current situation is just because of the lucky gem that Mu Xiu gave to Ayasaki-san yesterday, the power of the curse has been partially resisted, and because of this, there has been a separation. According to Egremiya Isumi's judgment, the main curse power still exists in the debtor steward.
However, a considerable part of the curse power has been diverted, and the whole is still unified, but it acts on two targets at the same time......
And by the end of this stage, there must have been some sort of subtle change in the mechanics of the curse's operation.
Egremiya didn't know how to find the other person, because she couldn't be sure what kind of judgment mechanism the other person had been used for. Even Mu Xiu, who could sense the aura over a large range and at a distance, had no way, because he couldn't distinguish the cursed aura until he got close.
If the other person is inexplicably forced to put on women's clothes, and accepts that he can't come out and make a big fuss and cause some trouble, then everything is easy to say, and they can notice it directly. But the most feared thing is that the person is too scared, hiding at home and not daring to tell others, so he misses the deadline......
Because by midnight tomorrow, there are only more than thirty hours left before the end of Daughter's Day, and Mu Xiu is very optimistic about the hope of the other person lifting the curse.
"But we can't just leave it alone...... "Egremiya Isumi said in a soft voice, "We can only do our best, we have to find as much other person as possible before tomorrow night, please be ready, it may be a little troublesome." ”
"Uh, what's the problem?"
Mu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Of course there is a problem, I will give you a message to Daisy and say that it is very simple, but you always have to go to the bell tower by yourself!" ”
The debtor housekeeper suddenly had a bad premonition: "No, that's right, by the way, classmate Mu Xiu, I remember you said that tomorrow is the Daughter's Day Festival, so many people's right?" It would be terrible if someone else saw it......"
"Yes, not only students from this school, but also people from other schools can come in, and Chisakura-san has been handing out invitations since yesterday...... Also, although I have a day off today, there are still many students and people preparing for engineering in the school......"
“……”
In short, it is absolutely impossible to pass while no one is around.
Ayasaki's expression seemed to have seen the end of the world. ...
