Chapter 234 - 81 - Curse Poison
Tap...
Tap...
My footsteps entering the magic portal felt lighter after passing through various kinds of pressure from the head of the Fujimoto family.
After passing through the exit in the form of a magic portal that had been created by one of my maids, who always observed the situation around me, I was back on the veranda of the apartment where I live with my other maids.
The figure of the maid who cast a magic portal from the veranda of my apartment to the main dining room of the Fujimoto family was now leaning back, relaxed, on a sofa not far from the entrance to the veranda.
There were several small dinner boxes from a famous crispy fried chicken company and a pack of soda.
A witch’s hat with a wide brim, covering her face, and a cone dangling with an elegant lace ribbon. I had already guessed that.
Of the many maids who possess unique magical abilities, there is only one person I can rely on to secure a way out of a dead end.
I walked into the interior of my apartment and threw a small cloth bag containing a souvenir from the head of the Fujimoto family.
Swuunnggg...
With a small toss, Hermione, who was sitting relaxed with Clara, snapped her fingers to release a small spell, catching the small cloth bag I threw at her with a gentle wind spell.
After my other maids had safely returned home through the magic portal she had cast, it slowly closed without a trace.
Clara, who was sitting relaxing next to Hermione, immediately stood up and approached me, taking off the formal suit I was wearing so I could relax in the living room, which was a little bit cramped due to the many maids occupying every corner in the living room.
A failed dinner and a successful business order made me smile wryly at this unexpected outcome, to be relaxed at home.
I quickly sat down next to Hermione, who was focusing on the magic circle formation that showed the Fujimoto family’s main dining room.
"Master Weiss, if you throw this dangerous pearl carelessly, it will cause a mysterious explosion that will destroy the apartment where you live," said Hermione, who looked happy and played with the small cloth bag that landed softly in her palm.
"Even with such a warning, Master Weiss prefers to distrust and show the true value of this useless pearl of trash."
"It makes me wondering..."
"Are they stupid, or are they deliberately giving trash as an apology gift... as an insult to Master Weiss?" asked Hermione, still fixated on her magic circle formation.
I sat down next to Hermione and took a box of crispy fried chicken for dinner.
"Don’t forget, it was a donation of raw materials disguised as an apology. Considering the situation that has occurred, I’m sure they don’t understand the true value of this Abyssal Pearl," I said as I opened the food box and ate the crispy fried chicken that Hermione had prepared.
I accepted Ellen’s invitation to enjoy an expensive dinner, but in the end, I only enjoyed the luxurious appetizers and crispy fried chicken for dinner.
Whether it can be called bad luck after good luck, I think they are related to my current situation.
"Should I soak this Abyssal Pearl in the bathroom tub overnight, Master Weiss?" Hermione asked further and began to move her magic circle formation to observe the Fujimoto family head more closely.
"Yes, do it, it will actually make the pearls regenerate to their original form."
"I hope that’s not too dangerous to do," while saying something like that, Hermione immediately got up from her sitting position and moved towards the bathroom in my apartment.
"You want to soak the pearls here?"
"Yes, Master Weiss. I smell an interesting things that would occur if the water these pearls were soaked in were truly... a Medium-Rank Elixir."
I just laughed wryly after hearing the answer from Hermione, who seemed to have been paying attention to me while I was at the Fujimoto family residence.
My life felt like it was being watched by Hermione everytime, but it was better because there were always a ways out that Hermione could prepare.
For example, like the recently event, Hermione created a magical portal to escape from the Fujimoto family residence.
I quickly looked at my other maids and counted the remaining dinner boxes, the number matching Aria’s addition as part of my new maids.
Srrussshh...
Clara suddenly opened a pack of soda and shared it with my other maids, including me.
"Here, Master Weiss..." in a soft, small tone, Clara handed me a bottle of soda.
"Thank you, Clara. By the way... who bought all this?" I asked Clara after seeing her kindly hand out the food boxes to the other maids.
"Hermione bought it... after seeing the dinner party frozen by Rina’s ice magic," Clara answered in a casual tone and handed out the last food box to Aria.
Blusshh...
Clara’s casual answer somehow triggered a cough from Rina. Her face was flushed pink, and she sat awkwardly on the living room sofa.
"Ah, yup, that dinner party did end badly; luckily, Hermione opened a way out that I could use to get home."
While enjoying this warm, crispy fried chicken dinner, I saw the head of the Fujimoto family lying on his private bed.
The bed appeared to be filled with various medical equipment and people who looked like his personal medical staff.
I had expected something strange from Ellen’s sudden request, but seeing it with my own eyes, I received an unexpected, taboo answer.
One Elixirs potion are expensive and renowned for their miraculous effects, capable of curing a variety of ailments. However, what the head of the Fujimoto family experienced was not an illness but a curse.
A chest blistered with black spots, a lower body that looked like it was necrotic, and a strange, glowing red magic mark. These were all common signs of a curse poison that were difficult to cure with high-grade elixirs.
"He needs a high-grade Elixir just to prolong his life and ease his pain, huh?" I muttered as I looked at some small, glowing curse mark.
"No wonder... he was so desperate and wanted to have an Alchemist who could make Elixir potions at any time."
"It turns out... this is the main reason."
I realized that this was not a relaxing job to do and had unknown deadlines.
The head of the Fujimoto family is still able to move; the poison of the curse he is suffering from is still not fatal, and there is one important thing he must do to make a full recovery to free from the curse.
After all, the Elixir potion only slowed down the poison of the curse in his body.
To be completely healed, he needed purification magic from a holy woman who devoutly worshiped her Goddess or something like that.
"Divinity, huh?"
One word...
One answer...
That’s what’s happening right now...
There’s no reason for the explorers of the Tower of Fate to delay exploring the tenth floor and unlocking the Divinity on Earth. Without a Divinity that can change the course of the world’s development, which conflicts with the religion of a real Goddess, the head of the Fujimoto family will never recover.
Well, the task I received wasn’t to cure the disease she was suffering from. It was a poison curse, the signs of which were clearly visible.
"What are you looking at with such serious eyes, Weiss?"
From behind me, a faint whisper came from Momoka. I turned to her and almost kissed her cheek, which was so close to mine.
"Oh, Momoka?" I said softly after seeing Momoka’s presence behind me.
Sleeesshh...
Slleeesshhh...
Momoka, who was standing behind me, wrapped her arms around my neck with a gentle embrace, and a soft kiss fell on my left cheek.
Chuupp...
"Welcome home, my beloved brother..."
"I didn’t hear the sound of the entrance door opening, which means... You came home some other way I don’t know about."
"Did something happen at dinner party?" Momoka asked, sounding like she was expecting disaster in dinner party.
I accepted her gentle embrace and let out a heavy sigh after realizing Momoka was in a see-through nightgown. She wasn’t in professional Succubus Maid mode, but rather in Succubus step-sister mode, who eager to touch her human older brother intimately.
"I don’t know what you expect, Momoka."
"But the disaster you hoped for didn’t happen," I replied to Momoka in a relaxed tone.
My gaze was still fixed on Hermione’s magic circle formation, which was peeking at the head of the Fujimoto family.
"That’s such a shame..."
"Oh, what’s this? Are you peeping at an old man dying from a curse?" Momoka asked, her gaze focused on the magic circle formation.
"..." I didn’t answer that and felt Momoka’s hug getting tighter around my neck.
With a light push of her body, Momoka had moved from behind me to sit on my lap, staring at Hermione’s magic circle formation with me.
"You realize it’s a curse poison?" I asked Momoka to get the information that was going through her head.
"Yes, it’s already obvious with the curse mark around his crotch. From his low position, I can conclude that it’s a curse that came from a high-ranking Succubus... the same as our mother."
"Why would you think something like that, Momoka?"
"Hmm? That’s easy... because it’s a curse mark that comes from the Succubus race. The curse mark that will appear after the Succubus sucks a man’s cock and inserts her curse poison from the cock hole," Momoka answered, which made me smile stiffly.
"Oh, fucking hell..." I muttered after hearing this new information.
I did guess it was a curse poison, but not something this terrible.
No matter what the head of the Fujimoto family had done...
That was the price he got...
