　Dinner with a new collaborator, Neah.

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

　Néa, who lived in a village near Samariat, seemed to know Samariat's famous cakes and was beating her little wings against me with squeals of delight over the large portion of cakes.

　But, as I expected, she had eaten so much that she couldn't move, and I was so disgusted that I stopped Eva from adding more cake to her plate, not realizing that she had eaten too much.

　......I'm beginning to wonder if Nair's getting on with herself is her thing.

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

　I tell her, lying on the desk in her owl form, "Of course not! She says angrily, "Of course not!

　And then night. When everyone was probably asleep, I was looking at my notebook, which had information about the previous heroes, by the small light of a candle.

"...... no good, I can't read it at all".

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

　I cannot understand the whole sentence at all, perhaps because it is worm-eaten in some places.

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

　I've been trying to read through my notebook like this to find the connection between the evil dragon and Eva's curse, but I haven't made any progress.

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

　Even Nair said, "I don't think there is any connection at all. Even Nair says, "It doesn't matter at all, does it?

"Whew, whew... ......"

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

"Why is he occupying my bed in the first place?"

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

　I would like her to sleep as an owl, but of all people, she is sleeping in her original form---a girl with black hair.

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

　I didn't even have time to stop her.

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

　I sigh as I pull the covers over her, wondering what she's dreaming about, and she gives me a lazy smile.

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

"Well, it was really nice of you to come."

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

　I'll tolerate it for today.

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

　I can sleep sitting up. He sits back in his chair and reads his notebook again.

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

"According to what Nair has deciphered, there were many casualties before the previous heroes slayed the evil dragon.

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

　Others say that some Samaritans were buried alive in the rubble until the battle was over.

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

　That does not have anything to do with the curse, so this is not relevant either.

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

"...... I really think Nea is right, it may not have anything to do with it."

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

　It might be better to discard the connection between the evil dragon and the curse and look for other causes.

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

　Tomorrow, I'll ask Nair to tell Aruk and Amako about my situation and Eva, and then I'll ask Eiri and others about it.

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

　I'll do what I can, since Nair is the one who depends on me for magic.

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

"Amako, he will be angry.

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

　Maybe he's already angry.

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

　She's scary when she's angry. ....... It is similar to the law that people who rarely get angry are afraid when they lose their temper.

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

　When Neah hears about my story tomorrow, she will be very upset.

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

　I wonder if Mr. Aruk will laugh it off?

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

　Either way, I know I'll have to apologize for worrying her the next time I see her.

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

"...... huh?"

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

　I've been worrying too much myself.

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

　He puts his notebook on the desk and covers his eyes with his hand.

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

"I think I'd better go to bed. ......"

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

　My eyes are getting tired and I have morning practice tomorrow.

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

　He stands up languidly and picks up his work clothes that are hanging on the chair.

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

　I'll at least hang them on the wall before I go to bed, I think, and as I'm moving to the wall, I stop by a window I pass.

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

"Hmm? ......What's that?"

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

　Someone can be seen at the moonlit window.

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

　At this hour?　Is it a ghost?　My heart suddenly starts to beat faster, but when I look closely, I realize that the figure is someone I know.

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

"Eva ......?"

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

　Why?　She would have been asleep by now.

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

　She is sitting in front of the pond in the boundary with a somewhat melancholy expression on her face, staring intently at the surface of the water.

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

　......I have to admit, I'm kind of scared.

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

　She would never break her own rule of going to bed early and getting up early. When she is out at this hour of the night without telling Eiri, it is safe to assume that something strange is going on.

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

　To be more specific, she is being manipulated by ghosts, or something in the occult direction.

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

　As long as there is a concept of soul in this world, we cannot deny the existence of ghosts.

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

Should we go to ......?　Wait a minute. Neah,......, that's right, Neah."

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

　He moves from the window toward the bed where Nair is sleeping.

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

　Two people. Having Neah, who is strong in soul relations, is a godsend. Only for vampires!

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

　...... I'm losing my cool, I'm losing my cool.

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

"Nair, hey, wake up. Wake up."

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

"...... hihi,hihi......"

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

　I shake her shoulders and try to wake her up, but she is sound asleep and shows no sign of waking up.

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

　Rather, she wrapped herself in the futon I put on her and moved to the edge of the bed as if she would not wake up.

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

　You, you... .......

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

　In a movie, you'd be the first one to be attacked by a ghost.

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

　Ghosts can't hit you, so you can't fight them off.

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

"...... It's no use. I'll go alone. ......"

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

　Nair won't wake up like this.

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

　Then I'll just have to be hungry too.

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

　Eva might just be out at this hour because she couldn't sleep. There's no need to be so uptight.

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

　Remember what she's done in the past, what she's done.

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

　If there's a reason, she'll do it, that's who she is, Eva Urd Samaritan.

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

　I think this over and over again, as if in my mind, then I put on my troupe uniform and open the door.

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

I left my sword still attached to my uniform.

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

　As I wipe myself off, I notice the small sword that I had left attached to my uniform so that it would not get in the way, and I think to myself, "Oh no, I'm not going to do that. But if I go back to my room at this point, I am afraid that my firm resolution will be shaken, so I decide to go on.

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

　But why in the world is Eva outside at this hour?

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

　Is something wrong? ....... Even without the occult, I'm worried, knowing what I know about curses.

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

　It was surprisingly bright outside, thanks to the full moon overhead.

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

　I get out of the house and walk slowly to the place where I can see Eva from the window.

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

　With some nervousness and fear, I move to a position where I can see the back of the house where the pond is located... and I find Eva in the same position as before.

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

　Her profile, staring intently at the surface of the pond, does not give the impression that she is being manipulated or unconscious, but instead..,

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

"...... Eva?"

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

"Usato-san ......"

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

　--- I was crying.

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

　She was crying as she looked at her reflection in the surface of the pond.

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

"......!"

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

　She was stunned to see my face, which must have had a look of surprise on it, but when she noticed tears running down her cheeks, she wiped her tears in a panicked manner as if she had just made a mistake.

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

　Crying alone in a place like this is not normal. Worried about Eva, I walk up to her and slowly crouch down.

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

"I'm sorry."

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

　In a small, thin voice, she apologizes without a trace of context.

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

　Why should I apologize?　She has done nothing wrong.

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

"I knew you were coming, Usato-san.

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

"What?"

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

　You knew?

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

　That I would come to you outside?

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

"Your room had a light on, didn't it?"

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

　...... I see, that's how you knew I was awake.

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

　Looking at the second floor where my room is located, there is indeed a small light from a candle flickering outside. That way, it's obvious that I'm awake.

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

　Is that an apology for making me come all the way outside .......

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

"So why were you crying at this hour?"

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

"......That's ......"

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

　She turns over as if to say something, then slowly sits down on the ground and holds her knees.

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

　I sat cross-legged so that it would be easier for her to talk to me, and continued to try to ask her questions.

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

"Did something sad happen to you?

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

"Nothing sad. ....... I have my father, Eiri, Usato, Nea, and even the people of the ...... castle are kind to me. That's why I'm so happy right now."

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

"Then why?"

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

"That's ......."

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

　She glances at me and opens her mouth as if determined.

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

"I had a dream. A very scary dream. ......"

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

"You dreamed ......? If it's a scary dream, I can understand why you might want to cry."

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

　I've heard a lot of stories about people having nightmares. I once had a dream that Rose from training came into my dream, and I was doing push-ups on the bed in my sleep.

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

　There is nothing more eerie and terrifying than a nightmare that you don't remember.

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

　The feeling of not knowing what to be afraid of, of not knowing where the fear is coming from, coming out of the depths of your chest, is very frightening.

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

"A lot of people are angry around me."

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

"Do you see angry ...... faces?"

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

"No, they are all black figures and everyone is angry with me in the middle ...... and it is a dream that goes on and on."

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

"That's a scary dream. But who's going to be mad at you? You haven't done anything wrong."

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

　As Master Lucas said today, Eva is a good girl.

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

　She is not the kind of person who would want to hurt anyone, and there is no one who could talk to her that way in the first place.

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

　Eva's lips trembled as if she wanted to say something to me.

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

　I was a little concerned about that, but soon she started to speak, so I listened to her.

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

"I have this dream when I forget, but every time I have it, I'm here, near your mother. I feel that if I am here, I am not alone. ......"

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

"So that's why you were here. ......"

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

　Even if there is no one inside, that grave is still very important to her.

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

　I can see that you really care about your mother's grave.

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

"But today's dream was somehow different. I was still scared, but there was someone who protected me, you know?　A lot of them."

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

"Oh, someone who protected me in my dream. That's nice."

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

　Since dreams are the realm of the unconscious, does the fact that they change mean that something in her psyche has changed?　Either way, it's good to have someone to protect you.

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

"That's the thing. To my surprise, one of them had the same face as mine. But was he a little bit taller?　I couldn't see their faces, but they stood around me and protected me when I was crouched down.

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

"The same face ...... as you?"

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

"I'm sure because I saw it here. I've seen my own face for years, there's no way I could mistake it!

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

　For some reason, Eva points confidently at the surface of the water and smiles as she says this.

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

　I see, that's why I was staring at the surface of the pond earlier.

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

"Well, scary dreams don't happen so many times in a row. Next time you go to bed, you will have a pleasant dream. I can't ...... guarantee that, though."

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

"Hmph, I hope so ...... really ......."

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

　Eva giggles.

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

　Now that you're smiling, I guess it's all right, huh?　I'll stay with her a little longer, and when she gets sleepy, I'll send her back to the house.

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

　I think about chatting with her and killing some time until then, when I notice Eva has stopped smiling.

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

"......Usato-san, you're going to leave here in a few minutes, aren't you?"

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

"Well, yes. I have some things I have to do.

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

　In a few days I have to leave for the next country.

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

　I want to do something about Eva by then, but time is running out and I have to give up.

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

　I want to save Eva, but I have the important task of delivering the letter and the mission to heal Amako's mother.

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

　I cannot neglect them.

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

　Eva looked sad at my answer and clasped her hands around her knees.

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

"......I probably won't see you again, Usato-san."

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

"What do you mean by that?"

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

"...... I'll be gone soon."

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

　If you're going away ......, you're talking about a curse here.

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

　Not so unexpected. There is no way that she who is cursed is unaware of the curse.

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

　It is rather natural.

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

"You already know that, Usato-san. I am cursed. Just like your mother, I am the one who will eventually disappear without a trace.

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

　Disappearing.

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

　I cannot imagine how much intention was put into those words.

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

　I can barely offer words of comfort to her words of sorrow.

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

"You might still make it, right?"

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

"It's impossible. ......I know, I can feel myself fading away. And I..."

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

　She releases the hand holding her knees and removes a white long glove bag from her right hand.

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

　I am puzzled by the white hand that I saw when I picked up Néa during the day---a plain, ordinary hand---but Eva finally realizes that something is wrong with her as she holds up her right hand as if holding it up to the moonlight.

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

"......, this is ......."

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

"Do you understand?"

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

　My hand is transparent ......!

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

　When she flips her hand to the ground, only the shadow of her right hand is gone, from the elbow to the end.

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

　Disappearance of existence---this was the first time I came to understand what I had vaguely recognized.

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

　This was not just a curse, but something as terrifying and mysterious as Nair had said.

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

"It's only my right hand now. But eventually my whole body will become like this... and in the end I will disappear as if nothing had happened ......... that's the kind of curse it is."

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

　Finally, I was able to see the curse that consumes Eva.

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

　It was far more cruel than I had imagined.

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

　When I heard that existence disappears, all I could imagine was the faint disappearance of a person. But this is something worse, a visible change.

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

　You acted as if nothing had happened in front of me even though this phenomenon was happening to you. .......

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

　I should have been scared to death.

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

　I should have been filled with the desire to cry.

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

　She kept smiling.

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

　I look at her face, stunned.

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

　She smiled sadly and stood up with her right arm hidden, then turned to me and bowed deeply.

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

"I'm sorry."

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

"......Why are you apologizing?"

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

　I can understand why I would apologize for being so blunt, but I don't understand why you're apologizing here.

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

　She raised her head, looked down a little, and said the reason.

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

I am a bad girl after all. Even though I'm convinced in my head, in my heart I'm trying to keep you here. I wanted to keep this happy life going,...... and I was trying to take advantage of your kindness,...... by showing you this disgusting thing to get your sympathy,......."

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

"Eva ......"

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

"I deserve to be abused for trying to put my own feelings first."

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

　Sure, I felt sorry for him.

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

　I wanted to help.

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

　I wanted to do something.

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

　But that's just what I thought, and your feeling is natural for a human being, isn't it?

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

That's not true.

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

"No, sir."

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

You have done nothing wrong. It's natural to want to be kind. No one can be alone when they're in pain or when they're sad.

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

"Then will you stay here?　Will you stay with me until I disappear?　Can I take advantage of your kindness?"

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

　She looks down at me, her eyes shaking.

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

　To be honest, my response is obvious. There are too many things I have to do to fulfill her wish.

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

　Sitting up, I turn my body toward Eva, put my hands on my knees and bow my head.

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

"......Sorry, I can't do that. I have to continue my journey."

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

"...... head up, please."

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

　I raise my head at her words.

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

　I was prepared for any kind of reaction, but when I looked up, I saw Eva bowing more deeply than before.

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

"Thank you very much. Thank you for your honesty. ...... Now I can give up."

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

"......ッ"

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