My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 139 That Damn Immortal Species
Outside the door, Kalia paced back and forth, holding the cat with some concern.

Nash, who was being held in her arms, was now almost unconscious.

That doesn't make sense. It's one thing for you to be pacing back and forth in front of the door, but why are you hugging me?
Cherlinina, who was also standing by the door, said, "Calm down, Kalia."

"Roland is fine, he was just chatting with Ms. Fram."

Don't worry too much.

Kalia pursed her lips and said, "How could I not be worried... It's the first time I've ever seen Roland like that!"

"...It's as if you've known him for a long time," Cellina retorted. "After all, you've only known him for less than a month, haven't you?"

Kalia was momentarily speechless, but still said, "Can't I even worry about it?"

"That's why I said that guy is fine, he's just acting a little strange."

"Alright, sit on the sofa for a while. I think our conversation is almost over."

Kalia, who reluctantly believed Cherlinina's story, silently sat down on the sofa.

Nash, who had been being held and rocked back and forth until he was dizzy, finally managed to escape from her clutches.

After catching his breath after jumping out of Kalia's grasp, Nash said, "Roland is probably under a curse."

"And it's not a demonic curse spell, but a real curse."

"Although it has almost completely dissipated by now."

"What did you say?" Kalia leaned closer to the cat and asked, "What is a true curse?"

The Demon Encyclopedia, Cherinina, explained: "The Demon race's curse spells are essentially clumsy imitations of curses themselves."

"Back then, the Lich King's court mobilized all its resources to glimpse the essence of the curse from the kingdom of an evil god that had been destroyed by the Demon King."

"Based on this, the demon race gradually developed what is known as curse magic."

“The real curse… actually belongs to the authority of the gods alone.”

"Whether they are evil gods or true gods, they all possess the ability to curse everything in the world."

Kalia tensed up again after hearing Cherlinina's explanation.

This immediately involves the gods, which is not good news...

However... since Roland is alright now, perhaps the situation isn't as bad as I thought?

Kalia breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Cherlinina and asked, "What did the teacher ask you to help with back then?"

Cellina looked at Kalia: "It's nothing serious. Ms. Flam just asked me to help move some things. Her storage space is full and she doesn't want to make two trips."

"Plus, she happened to see you and me wandering around outside, so she called me over."

"But it's strange... there weren't many of those things, so logically, with Ms. Flam's strength, it shouldn't have been difficult for her to lift them up with magic."

"I always feel like she's deliberately trying to get me away from you."

"I wonder if they're afraid that the Holy Knights of the Church will discover my demonic identity."

"After all, my identity is still quite sensitive."

Kalia nodded upon hearing this.

Should I distract Cellina? Why?
But soon Kalia realized something, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

At that moment, the locked door was pushed open.

Roland and Fram came out together.

Kalia rushed to Roland's side immediately: "Are you alright, Roland?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy."

"Hey Leah... I'm still standing right here. Are you just going to ignore me like this?"

A slightly disgruntled voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of the staff tapping on the head.

Kalia quickly covered her head and hid behind Roland.

Seeing this, Fram sighed and looked at Roland, saying, "Then let's proceed as agreed."

"Let's go back to the capital first to complete their royal succession ceremony."

"Then, after reviewing the records kept in the capital, we will go to Riskan."

“Hmm.” Roland nodded, but still asked, “But what about the prototype of the Demon Lord’s Hand and the Chaos Brotherhood that appeared in this incident?”

"The empire isn't just about you. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Frum said calmly, "Since the prototype involves the Demon King, the Holy See and the Society have decided to join in. The two sides will assist the Empire in its operations."

"As for the Chaos Brotherhood, they won't let any investigation into that shipwreck go unresolved. We'll likely run into them in Rishkan."

After hearing Fram's explanation, Roland was somewhat relieved.

Although this sudden turn of events also involved Roland himself, the matter of the Demon King's Hand prototype was clearly more important.

After all, although this thing seemed harmless to Roland, its ability to freely teleport to unknown distances and create a large number of familiars at any time had already demonstrated its destructive power in the Blackthorn Territory incident.

He didn't want to deal with the anomaly on his body one day and then have to fight a giant thirteen-in-one robot the next.

He didn't want to gamble on whether the opponent's magic resistance was enough to withstand his spell countermeasure.

Their conversation also piqued the curiosity of Kalia and Cellina.

"Roland, are we going back to Riskan?" Kalia, who was hiding behind Roland, asked first.
“Yes, I’m investigating something.” Roland nodded.

Cellina countered, "Investigate the curse on you?"

"You figured it out?" Roland was somewhat surprised. He thought the two of them didn't know about his situation, after all, Fram had only come to this conclusion after some analysis.

Cellina shook her head: "It wasn't me."

Then she scooped up the silly cat that was still lying on the table: "It figured it out."

"Meow! How about that? Am I awesome?" Nash, being carried in Roland's arms, didn't forget to wave and try to curry favor.

"awesome."

"How perfunctory... Never mind, I won't hold it against you."

Nash sighed in disappointment, then asked in return, "So why go to Rishkan to investigate the curse?"

"There are no traces of the curse on you now."

This time, it was Flamtilon who answered: "There is indeed no trace of the curse on him."

"The power of the World Tree dispelled the curse."

"Although his memory is somewhat confused, it will not have a major impact on him."

"However... the problem no longer lies with him."

"But it's about that ship, that shipwreck, and... you, Leah."

"Huh?" Kalia pointed to herself. "Me? What does this have to do with me?"

Frum sighed: "Do you think that's why Roland and I came out so late?"

"At first I did think that only Roland was cursed, and I suspected that the whole of Riskan was cursed."

"But I overlooked an important issue."

"How did you come across these diaries, Leah?"

As she spoke, Flam looked at Kalia and then took out old Lancelot's diary.

"Roland himself said that he had read through this diary many times from beginning to end, and had never seen the contents that suddenly appeared this time."

"But you saw it. You just stumbled upon this content that shouldn't have been there in the first place during a casual browse."

"So I examined Roland again carefully... He did indeed have the aura of a curse on him."

"But it is only a few remnants of a curse that has already been eradicated."

"And the time he was cursed... was just now."

"If it weren't for the strange methods this kid uses, plus the protection of the World Tree, he would have really been cursed."

Kalia froze on the spot.

Although she is sometimes a bit slow to react, she can always quickly think things through in these kinds of situations.

"Teacher, you mean... the curse is because of me..."

Frum nodded: "The truth is cruel, but that's the reality."

"Lia, I once thought that good teaching and guidance would allow you to gradually control your power."

"Although it turns out I succeeded and you did control your power, the unique qualities within you are something I cannot guide or seal away."

"So strictly speaking, we can only be considered to have succeeded halfway."

Celinina, who was watching from the sidelines, asked, "So, what does this have to do with Riskan?"

"Just because the curse is related to Rieskan? But aren't Kalia and Roland both fine?"

Nash nodded his own cat head in agreement.

I haven't had a peaceful day in the last few days. Although I'm living quite comfortably under Roland's protection, one thing is one thing, and the risks I'm taking have never been small.

If it could, it would like to go to the imperial capital and watch Kalia and the princess it had met that day put on a dramatic show of two women vying for one man.

And so he lived a peaceful and uneventful life until Dragon Island discovered he was missing, or until the elf had time to send him back to Dragon Island.

This aligns with the lifestyle and life ideals of all the dragons on Dragon Island.

Frum sighed: "Things are complicated... Nothing about that shipwreck is simple."

“A shipwreck?!” Cellina suddenly sat up straight. “You mean… the shipwreck thirty years ago? The Iris!”

"You know?" Roland looked at Cellina with some surprise.

“I had a friend on that ship.” Cellina’s expression darkened. “He was the first human friend I made after I escaped the royal court.”

"Without her help, I could not have lived so smoothly within the Empire and gotten used to the many differences among humans."

“But after the shipwreck, everything changed… Nobody remembers her, I almost forgot about her.”

"No... I've even forgotten her. Her name, her appearance... I can't remember any of them. All I know is that I had such a friend."

"For a while, I even started to doubt whether this friend was just a figment of my imagination."

"Until I found a pocket watch she had left behind in the corner of the room..."

Roland was silent for a while, feeling sorry for Cellina's experience and also marveling at how the immortals really didn't seem to age.

Roland looked at Cellina's appearance and saw that she still looked like an invincible young beauty.

But the other person's actual age may be several generations older than old Lancelot.

Damn immortal species.

Doesn't this mean there's absolutely no way to judge someone's age based on their appearance?
Upon hearing Cherlinina's words, Nash knew that his plan to slack off was doomed.

It seems I have no choice but to go to Switzerland.

After all, it's just a pet and doesn't have much of a say.

Roland and Floram had no objections, and Cellina also seemed to have no objections at the moment. Kalia's opinion was not very important, so it seemed that the matter had been settled.

"Hey."

The silly cat sighed and lay down on the table with a sigh.
