Chapter 303 Prophecy ⑥

Part 2

It seems that it has stopped transforming into a bigger-than-necessary body and is now chasing us with something like a giant black bird. Its speed is even faster than before.

It seems like it didn’t take any damage, but it was clearly angrier than before. Anyone would be angry if someone threw a Sewer Dragon and weird Potions at you.

“Car-kun, go faster!” (Tino)

“…………” (Cry)

For some reason, Master~ has a faraway look in his eyes. Maybe because Car-kun heard what Tino said, it increased its speed.

I don’t know where its limit is, but the distance between us and them became a little bit farther. We can still hold out a little bit longer.

Moreover, I’ve gotten used to riding the carpet. How good it would have been if it is not under these circumstances……

Or rather, Sytry Onee-sama, you just made the curse angry, right…… In the first place, it was a mistake to think that Sytry Onee-sama, an Alchemist, would be able to do something about it when Anthem Onii-sama could not do anything about it.

However, all was not bad. With this, Sytry Onee-sama should be aware of this time incident. If she has the time, she would be able to take some kind of countermeasures………… Ha! Don’t tell me that was what Master~ was aiming for!?

And there, Master~ raised his voice from below me.

“……………… Yosh, Tino, let’s go to Lucia’s place next. To Zebrudia Magic Academy. Lucia should be able to do something about it and Professor Sage should also be there! Maybe there is even the burning Baa-san there……” (Cry)

“Master~………… Yes, roger that.” (Tino)

Lucia Onee-sama…… Certainly, Lucia Onee-sama and 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 seem to be able to do something about it.? Besides, I hear that Sage Clasta, the? 《Immortal (Fumetsu)》, has the blood of Spirit People in her. She may be able to find a solution to this.

However……………… Shouldn’t you have done that first instead of pissing that off?

§　§　§

It’s bad. I feel like I am dealing with something so bad that it doesn’t feel real. It is like I am having a weird dream.

While *purapura* flapping around, I savored my flight in the air and did a half-hearted smile as I watched the Spirit People riding the large black bird chasing after me.

The situation was changing so rapidly that my mind was not able to keep up with reality at all. It had been a long time since I had this feeling.

To think that Anthem and Ark would not be able to defeat them………… Hugh really brought along a hell of a monster.

I thought it would have been a good idea to have her fight against Marin’s Wails and the Black Knight duo, but it backfired, and when I heard that I could control the Sewer Dragon, I thought this was it, but it didn’t work either, so there was nothing I could do about it.

…… Rather, now that I think about it, what even is a Sewer Dragon?

However, no matter how much of a pinch I am in, it doesn’t change what I can do. There is――Nothing I can do.

Before I knew it, Tino was perfectly manipulating Car-kun as she wished. He didn’t listen to me at all, but he immediately listened to Tino, what a ridiculous carpet. After this is over, we will have a good talk about it……

But that Spirit People, she is so angry…………

I have nothing to do, so I *shigeshige* stare intently at the wooden ring that attracts curses, which is the source of everything. It is true that it is a Relic, but I didn’t expect a curse with a consciousness powerful enough to be able to exchange words would be so adamant about pursuing it……

Of course, I don’t blame Tino for bringing it to me. It is obvious that Tino obtain this ring without regard to her safety and had no intention of tricking me when she gave it to me. If anyone is to blame, it is me who put it on without thinking――.

And then, as I was *surisuri* rubbing the ring with my hands, the ring that had been so hard to pull off in the Clan House moved easily and effortlessly.

“?????” (Cry)

I involuntarily open my eyes. I look up at Tino, then check the ring, and finally stare at the Cursed Spirit People that is chasing me.

I don’t even need to think about the reason why it came off. It was because it ran out of Magic. It probably didn’t have that much Magic left to begin with. I myself have very little Magic power, and the ability to suck in the Magic power of the wielder to maintain its functionality is meaningless if there is no Magic power to suck in.

Problem is――Huh?………………………… S-Since when did it run out of Magic?

I certainly couldn’t take it off when I had Martis-san appraise it and I also couldn’t take it off when I tried to at the Clan House.

A-Anyway, if I throw away this ring, the curse won’t come after me. Lucky.

And when I was about to throw the ring away, I suddenly realized something.

If I throw this ring away, won’t that curse start attacking the city this time?

Fortunately, in the midst of all this misfortune, the city is safe as long as that curse is chasing me.

Anthem, Ark, and the others couldn’t stop it, but since they are first-class Hunters, they should be able to come up with countermeasures if I can buy them some time――.

And even though that curse moves fast, the Carpet Master, Tino’s speed will allow us to escape. And anyway, if the city is cursed, I will be cursed as well, so I can always throw away the ring another time.

Apparently…… It seems that I do not have any choice.

“Tino, I thought of a good idea! How about we just go around the world like this on the carpet?” (Cry)

“Wh-what are you talking about!? Master~!?” (Tino)

Tino raises a scream-like voice. For the time being, I would like you to put me on top of it too instead of letting me *burabura* dangling all the time, or is it too much to ask? Do you have any tips on how to ride it?

I properly put back the ring which has run out of Magic and look at the Cursed Spirit People.

I don’t know when she is going to find out that the ring has run out of power…… Rather, it is weird that she is still chasing after us even though it has run out of power, but anyway, I have to attract her attention somehow…… What do I do…… What do I do?

……………… F-For the time being, let’s just wave at them.

I smile and wave my hand in search of peace and love. The expression of the Cursed Spirit People is twitching, and for some reason, Marin’s Wails who is behind her is *bunbun* shaking her head sideways.

The black knight swings his sword widely. He completely intends to throw it at me. It is useless, I still have three Barrier Rings left…… So you should stop.

Just as I shrugged my shoulders in a badass and philosophical way――A tornado of flames emitted from the ground swallowed the Cursed Spirit People.
