"Is it over?"

"Yes. Maybe this will help.　I haven't seen him in a long time, though."

"I knew you knew about Marlon's illness, Norn."

　Norn leaving a woman's body.

　Garius ran to Marlon as if to replace him.

　In a panic, Garius picks up Marlon's body and calls out to him.

　After a while, Marlon raises one hand and reaches for Galilius.

　He had been in a state of suspended animation, not knowing whether he was breathing or not, but now he has started to move.

　So Norn must have really cured the disease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This guy is surprisingly useful.

　He also solved Mitya's mixed blood somehow.

　The sword was made as a tool to become a vampire, but I am impressed by the fact that it has been around for so long.

"I mean, that's not a disease!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　You weren't sick?　I heard they said it was incurable or something."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. That's not a disease. It's a curse."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... curse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A medicine made by a special method. It causes a slow death over time. I saw a drug once that had that kind of curse in it. It was similar."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'd like you to wait a moment, that I would. Curse?　Medicine?　What do you mean, that you do? Marlon's condition is said to be caused by a heart condition, that it is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn suddenly said something strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He says something about a curse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Galius, who had heard this, looked at Marlon's body, but only turned his head and reacted to Norn's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had heard earlier that Marlon's body had a heart problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could it be that the drugs were the cause?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure that the woman's body had a heart problem. But that's not the cause. It is a result. Her heart was bad because her body was affected by the curse. No amount of treatment for the heart will help. Because the cause is elsewhere.

"Is it true, Mister Norn, that it is?　I have never heard such a story before, that I find it hard to believe, that I have not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Believe it or not, it's your choice. But look at the reality. The woman is on the move. That's the best proof I can give you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is true, that it is, but it is hard to believe, that it is not. Is it because of the medicine, that it is?　But what exactly is the curse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You said it yourself just now. There are countries that use curses. Did you say something about forbidden curses or something?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... You don't mean a curse, that you mean a forbidden curse?　Is there a connection to the forbidden curse of the Soma cult?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. This is some of the blood that was inside her. See how black it is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Norn holds out his hand toward Galius.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In his hand was a clot of blood that had apparently been taken from Marlon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blood is black and gives a creepy impression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One would think that such a thing, together with the blood in one's body, would make one feel ill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alphonse, do you know what this is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, ......, I'm not sure what you mean. What is it?　It looks like a lump of rotting blood to me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is unclean blood. Some of the blood was stained by a curse."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Stain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I don't know if they exist now, but a long time ago, there were immortals. I believe there was a story about a man who studied immortals and created a curse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　That's what immortals are, right?　It's supposed to be some kind of stain that affects others. Are you all right, Norn?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe this one will be okay. This one's not an immortal itself. The special potion I made from it would have made this unholy blood. I thought it was supposed to slowly rot and kill you when it forms in your blood.　It was a long time ago and my memory is getting fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure it was something like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wait a minute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm thinking about what Norn says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn removed a clot of blood from inside Marlon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a blackish-black mass of blood that even looked like it was rotting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking at it, Norn says that Marlon's body is not suffering from immortality, but from a curse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He also said that the black mass of blood was unclean blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unclean blood is related to the immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The impure one that Brother Ars fought against.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that it continues to pollute the surroundings with its unholy magic, like a disaster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A cursed potion made after researching such immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was affecting Marlon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The sorcerer who created the curse is dead by now, isn't he?　He said that countries that use forbidden spells believe in a god called Soma or something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I heard Norn saying this, my eyes met Galius'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Puzzled, both Galius and I keep trying to sort out what Norn said in our minds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What does that mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Norn is right, the curse is the same as a forbidden one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the Church of Soma may have had something to do with the curse in the form of a medicine that caused the incurable disease, and it was the effect of the Church's medicine that allowed Marlon to live through the incurable disease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that the Church of Soma was involved from the beginning?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We kept thinking about what Norn said for a while, looking at each other's faces.
