I've made it for now... but is there any way to confirm that this (Katara's Drop) is done properly?

　Even though I made this item according to the book Luna has, it's still an item that I made using a lot of materials that have a lot of power.

　If I had made a mistake...


　I can't even predict what kind of effect it will have on Miu's mother, who is a common human race.

　My instincts tell me that it's okay, I know that, but I still feel awkward using it on others.

　That's why we thought about trying it ourselves.

　An item that will break any curse.
　First of all, I tried to take some.

　But it didn't work.
　My status is...

　State: Cursed (fixed status) Recommended: fixed

　I was still in the process of becoming.
　But I'm relieved.

　Because I'm currently being fixed in status, that's why I have the power to do many things recklessly.


''Although it's the ultimate item that can break any curse──but it couldn't break Hurt-san's curse, so.......I'm certainly worried about whether it's effective against the 'Curse of Posthumous Diffusion', which is also an evil god's curse.

　I see.

　Is it only my curse that didn't work?

　Or did I make a mistake at the stage of making it and the curse is not effective to begin with?


''However, the 'Status Fixing Curse' that Hurt-san has been cast on is not even in this book. Isn't it a very strong curse that even a drop of Katara can't break the curse?

Yeah. Maybe.

　It's possible.

　The status-fixing curse I've been cast on is probably such a powerful curse that it wasn't expected to be used even when the gods created this world.

　Because if not, it's unlikely that it would have the effect of allowing them to use as much magic power as they want.


''The book has a method for breaking the curse of post-death spreading, so I'm going to try using it...''

　But I'm afraid to use it on a physically vulnerable race of people.

　When I was thinking about having Liushin and others try it out...

Mr. Hurt!　I found instructions on the next page on how to make sure I got it right.

Oh. What do you want me to do?

Well, sir. First, I'll need the fruit of the World Tree.

Yes, sir. I'm ready.

　The spirit world still has some stock in the spirit world, so I take out the World Tree Fruit from it.

''I'm going to pour magic power into this and turn it into a 'seed'.

　I poured my magic power into the World Tree's fruit until I saw a change.
　It started to glow vaguely.

''Is that all right?''

I worked so hard on it...

　Sylph muttered.
　She had tried to make a seed, too, apparently.

'Well, yes. You're a hart, aren't you?'

　I don't know what it was, but I was convinced I was right.

'Luna, what's next?'

Well, I'll plant it in the ground!

　As you told me, I dug up a bit of ground and buried the seeds there.

I'm going to pour a drop of Katara on it--what?

Hmm?

　Something startled Luna, but I had already dropped a drop of Katara's drop onto the ground where I had buried the World Tree seed.

　At that moment, a sprout came out of the ground.
　I'm wearing an aura that I felt somewhere.

　This feeling...

　The World Tree?

　It seems that we've sprouted the World Tree.

''Katara's drop.......seems to be a necessary item to make the World Tree sprout.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It has the same effect as the rest of my bath water.

Uh, yeah.

　Hmm?　Oh, what?
　So, I guess we should call it "Sugoroku", right?

　I had named the leftover hot water in our home's bath "Susu-Yu".

　It's a liquid that contains tremendous magical power.

''Well. I can't let Miu's mother drink the leftover water from the bath, so it's a good thing I made this, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

　Let's not think too much about the fact that it's a liquid that contains Yoko's hair and Ryushin's scales.

　In the meantime, I've carefully washed all the ingredients, so I've decided to trust that it's okay. I drank it earlier, too, and it didn't taste weird.

　However, when I drank Katara's drop, I'm wondering why Seira was blushing. Come to think of it, I don't know how to make holy water.

　Um, Seira-san. How do you make this (holy water), how do you make it?

　I asked him in secret, but he didn't answer me with a red face, so I was a bit bewildered.

　There are some things in the world that are better left unacknowledged.
　Let's not dwell on this.


　After that, we had Miu's mother drink a drop of Katara.

　We were able to successfully break the curse of the evil god.
　She seemed to be in good physical condition.

''Thank you, Hurt-san, for making your mother feel better!

Yeah. Good for you, Miu.

"Thanks to you, I feel so much lighter. Thank you so much.

You've just healed, so please don't take it easy.

Yes. I wouldn't want her to worry about me anymore.

Yeah, Miu. You've spent all your allowance because you're asking us to do it for you, right?

Yes, but........it's okay. This is how my mom got back on track!

　Miu is a really, really good kid.

"I have a favor to ask of Miu. If you do that, I'll give this back to Miu.

　He takes out a small bag of spina (money).
　It's a little more than the request money that Miu paid to the guild.

　I haven't reported the accomplishment of the request yet, so we haven't received any compensation.

　That's why I took this one out of my allowance.

''Even if I don't get any money, I'll do anything Hurt-san and the others ask for!　Well, I mean, if I can help it....

Even Miu can do it. I just need you to take care of your co-workers.

　Then I handed Miu a flower pot with a little bit of the world tree sprouting from it.

　The pot was made by me using soil magic.

What is this?

It's a very big plant. But it takes a long time to grow. Maybe it will take Miu's children and grandchildren to grow up to this size, but it won't grow at all.

I'm supposed to grow these, right?

Yeah. Just water it every day. If it dies, it's okay.

　If I kept it near me, there was a chance that this world tree would grow up too. But it would be a pity to let it die on purpose.

　I'm sorry, but I decided to push it to Miu.

I understand. I'll take good care of it!

Nice to meet you, Miu.

　I'm glad that Miu has taken care of it.

　The original World Tree is said to grow slowly while absorbing the magic power of the surroundings over an incredibly long period of time.

　Incidentally, it seems that the World Tree is not very valuable in its bud state. Maybe no one would come for this one....

　Just to make sure they don't realize that this is the World Tree, I had them hide the aura-like items with the power of a sylph.

　That made it impossible for me to understand that this is the World Tree.

　To be even more careful, I'll put a magic circle on Miu, her mother, and the bud of the World Tree that will summon the flame knight in an emergency.

　Alright, I guess it's like this.

''Miu, your request is now complete. If it's all clear, please sign here.

Yes!

　In the guild's request form, I ask him to sign the confirmation of the request's accomplishment column.

　When Miu finishes signing the form...


You mean Hurt.
'Are you sure Hurt's here........'

　My brothers, Cain and Leon, showed up.
