If I accomplished one or two more requests, I had accumulated enough guild points to take the promotion test.

　I visited the Adventurer's Guild and was looking at the request form posted on the wall of the guild while thinking about which one to make the last request for, when I heard a girl's voice.

''Please!　Please help your mother.

　I look at the receptionist and see a girl, a little shorter than the height of the counter, desperately pleading with the sister at the reception desk.

"Did you save this money?

Yes ... is this too much?

　On the counter is a small bag filled with copper coins.

''Hmmm.......with this amount of money, I can barely get the cheapest request for an E grade. From what you've told me, your request will be to cure a disease or curse whose cause is unknown even to the town's doctors, but...

　When it comes to diseases and curses for which the town's doctors can't identify the cause and can't be cured with recovery medicine or heal (recovery magic), a simple investigation into the cause of the disease will require the highest E-ranked request money.

　That's roughly five times the amount of money the girl brought in.

''The spread of unexplained diseases is something the guild wants to prevent. That's why we can add more guild points to the guild, but I don't know of any adventurer who would accept a request for this amount of money alone...

　The lady at the reception desk found me standing in front of a board with a request form taped to it.

　Just in time.
　The last request has been decided.

We'll take that one.

Are you an adventurer, brother?

Yes.

Can you help my mom?

Yeah. I've got it.

　I can cure you of any disease or curse.
　After all, in my family, there are former saints and dragon maidens who are the best users of recovery magic in this world.


''Mr. Hurt, the request money is as you can see. Are you sure you're sure?

　The sister at the reception desk knows I'm acting as a cohesive party of five. The reward is obviously too small to feed all of them.

'It's no problem. It's business as usual.'

Yes, of course. I knew that Mr. Hurt would take care of this request. In case you're wondering, it's a confirmation. As usual, I'll leave the guild points as an added bonus.

Thank you.

　Depending on the nature of the request, I had to accept the request twice more, but I was going to get extra guild points as a reward, so once I accomplished this request, I would be able to take the test for advancement to D level.

　After that, the guild officially accepted the girl's request, and I would be the one to take the request.

''I'm Hurt. Nice to meet you.

My name is Miu. It's nice to meet you.

　She's nice and polite for a small girl.

　I took my client, Miu, and transitioned to my mansion where everyone was waiting for me.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

'Mr. Hurt, it's amazing!　I felt a rush of energy!　Is that your magic, Hurt-san?

Yeah. Yes.

　Miu enjoyed the sensation of transition.

　There are some people who feel sick because of the sensation of having their body pulled strongly somewhere when they are transitioning, but she was different.

''Um........what is this place?''

　He looks a little uneasy as he is brought to a strange place.

'It's my house. My people are here, so I'm going to meet everyone here and head over to Miu's mom's place.

This is Mr. Hurt's house?

Yeah. Yeah, it's big.

　Lately, everyone around me seems to have gotten used to what I do, and they're not surprised by most of it.

　That's why I'm so happy to see Miu reacting like this.


It's a good thing that you're not the only one. As for you...

My client this time, Miu.

　When Tina noticed I was back, she greeted me.

'Wow you're a beautiful elf.
'Well!　Thank you.

　Tina was happy to hear what Miu muttered when she looked at Tina.

'Whoa, Hurt. You're back.
I'm home, White.

''Ah, so cute!''

　Miu jumps on White as he comes out of the mansion.

Mr. Hurt. Is this child also in your family, Hurt-san?

Yeah. His name is White. He likes it when you stroke him, so pet him gently.

Yes!

　Miu had already begun to mooch off White.

'Nuh-uh. No, no.

　I'm telling him to stop, but it should be easy for White to break free of Miu's restraints if he wants to.

　He still won't run away, so he's happy to be touched by Miu.


'Then let's go to Miu's mother's place.
""Yes!"

　Now that all of the Elnor family is here, we will transition to Miu's house.

''Yo, nice to meet you!

　As expected, when my family's total of twenty people gathered, Miu was overwhelmed.

　By the way, White, by the way, is in Miu's arms.

　I know it must be scary to be surrounded by so many people I don't know, but I'm doing my best to save my mother. I want you to hold White in your arms and relax a little.

　Perhaps sensing Miu's anxiety, White was quietly being held by her halfway through.

　I can't wait to help her mother.

　I took everyone gathered there and transitioned to Miu's house.

"...?　! This is....
I have a bad feeling about this, mistress.
Halt this is a bad idea.

　As soon as they metastasized to the town where Miu's house was located, Sitri, Kikiyo and White noticed something strange.

''Oh....

　It's worse than I thought.

Um, what's going on?

　Miu asks anxiously.

　From her point of view, it's probably no different from the usual town scene.

　But members like me, Sitri, Kikyou and Shiro are sensitive to curses.

　Especially to the curse of an evil god.


　From Miu's house, there was a fairly strong hint of an evil god's curse.
