Episode.40 Curse

A cold winter day.

We were so recklessly told by the president of the association, ‘You just close the gate and go’, so we left the association and went home in the winter snow.

– Squeak. – Squeak.

Perhaps because I held hands with Harin and clasped my arms, I felt warmth as if I had used a hot pack even in this cold winter.

And only the beautiful sound of stepping on snow echoing in my ears calms my body and mind.

‘But why did Harin suddenly say she was coming to my house?’

【Why did you come here? Your feet went numb because you couldn’t withstand the pressure from that woman.】

At that moment, my eyes fell on the back of my neck and goosebumps appeared all over my body.

‘Ugh, that was it.’

I hated my past self.

【But that woman, why does she suddenly seem so talkative? It is clear that there is a plan.】

‘Don’t say that. ‘I’m getting anxious for no reason.’

Really, Harin looks like she’s deep in thought right now.

Perhaps because of that, a blanket of snow had piled up on top of his head, but he was unaware of it.

And the snow piled up on top of her head was hard to see thanks to her hair color.

I spoke out to break up this seemingly uncomfortable situation.

“Hey, Harin. How did you do that then?”

At the beginning, we open the conversation with the topic we are most curious about.

“That…?”

“I thought you were trying to administer propofol directly to me in a syringe, but I used it on you.”

“Ah… you were talking about what happened that day.”

“Uh. The question here is, why? The drug in the syringe went into your body, not mine, so why was it affecting me too?”

“Wow… do I really have to tell you?”

Harin once again looked troubled.

But it’s not even a possibility.

【Siu! I’m not sure what it is, but you can’t skip it this time!】

I know.

If you keep going like this, your child will develop bad habits.

“Are you going to slip away like that this time too? I’m sorry, but you can’t do that.”

When Harin heard what I said, the expression on her face changed from a troubled expression to a smile with a small laugh.

Did you have any intention of hiding it from the beginning?

Was he pretending to be in trouble just because he wanted to make fun of me?

“… It’s a simple buff. Well, it may be a debuff depending on the time.”

“Really? Then what did you say when you were isolated in that dungeon?”

“What are you talking about… Ah! You are referring to the buffer position you mentioned then, right? It was said that healers are only healers, and buffs are handled by other positions.”

“Yes.”

“That’s a lie.”

“What?”

【Ha…is this a story about when I’m not around again…】

“That lie is originally a lie told by a high-level healer to a low-level hunter.”

“Really? But why do you tell such unnecessary lies?”

“Hmm… Maybe it’s to avoid putting pressure on other party members? Low-tier parties usually don’t have tanks or healers.”

“There was a reason for that…”

“Yes, I actually don’t know the real meaning either.”

“So healers can use buffs and debuffs?”

“Yes, of course. I’m sorry for lying to you then.”

“I’m sorry, I was just foolishly fooled by the buffer position. At the time, I was deceived because I was isolated in a dungeon, but now that I look at it, I wonder where a position like that could exist. You can easily distinguish between heel, damage, and tang.”

Harin nodded.

Fortunately, it seems like they think they have resolved it well, but there are still many questions to be asked.

Let’s go back in time and think about it.

At that time, she clearly inserted the syringe into herself, and felt the ‘sense’ of the drug penetrating into her body.

sense.

It was clearly King’s Insight Lv.3 today, as confirmed through the buff window in the elevator.

-‘Buff window, view’

– [Buff window, view information on the buff currently applied to ‘Han Si-woo’.]

[Buff Window]

Buff: None

Debuff: Curse of Forbidden Magical Power

Unknown: Sensory sharing

==========

– ‘What is this? Sensation… Share?”

-【Why are you suddenly talking about sensory sharing… Don’t say such strange words. Porn, have you seen it?】

okay. This is ‘sensory sharing’.

This one is classified as unknown.

There is definitely a possibility that it is related to Harin.

“Harin, have you ever heard of ‘sensory sharing’?”

【Ahh! Why are you suddenly asking something that could come from such an ambitious site?!】

– Squeak. – Knock.

Our steps stopped.

No, it would be quicker to explain that Harin’s walking stopped.

‘Is this a proper strike?’

【What’s the strike, you slut!】

“Well, well, well, well, I don’t really know…”

【Ah… You did it anyway… Now all that’s left is to be sued for sexual harassment!】

‘What bullshit.’

【Yes, rather than rotting in prison, commit suicide and stay with me forever!-】

‘Oh, what do you mean?’

Harin is silent, like a mute who has been fed honey.

‘It’s clear that something has hit the nail on the head…’

【What’s the point… If you don’t want to get stabbed to death, apologize quickly and apologize!… Well, I don’t care if you die, right? I can take him and live with him.】

‘is it.’

What if it’s really unrelated?

Or, if you actually think that this bitch was just talking about clichés from pornographic comics, the situation becomes even more difficult.

I was just asking for the name of the technology.

“Hey… Harin, you don’t have to answer if you’re having trouble. Well, I haven’t suffered anything in particular.”

Have you suffered any damage?

‘Hmm… location tracker?’

“No, wait a minute. What if I get drunk and pass out? Is there anything in my body-”

– Kuuk.

“I’m cold now. Let’s go to your house quickly… okay?”

Harin wrapped her arms around me.

I could feel her volume.

“Huh?…Yeah, yeah.”

【No, couldn’t you just push it further?】

‘Let’s go home first.’

【Tsk, that’s a shame.】

**********

We arrived at my house, which was in Eunbyeol’s name.

“Well, you’ve finally arrived at the front door of my house.”

【Why is that your house? This is my house?】

‘my house. ‘Okay?’

【joy.】

To be picky.

-Squeak, boom.

I came into my house with Harin.

How did Harin know? He found my mattress exactly and took its place.

【oh! My place!】

“Phew… It’s warm. By the way, the house is a bit lonely… How about turning on the TV?”

Harin hugged the blanket on my mattress.

【Something like that…】

“Uh, I understand.”

I picked up the TV remote control off the floor.

Then I take out some chocolate from the small refrigerator in the corner.

“Harin, do you want some chocolate?”

“Yes, I like it.”

We shared sweet chocolate with each other.

A sweet chocolate sensation enveloped my tongue.

Now that I’ve replenished my sugar, I decided to watch TV for a bit.

But when I tried to turn on the TV, I realized that I actually didn’t watch TV often when I came home.

Are you connected to the channel?

I wondered if I should connect to something like Netflix or Web.

But soon the news came on on TV.

– Here’s the next news.

– Non-fungible tokens among the recent younger generation. In other words, the rumor is that so-called NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is becoming popular again.

“NFT…”

【what? A token that cannot be borrowed?】

‘No, bitch, it’s not a non-fungible token, it’s a non-fungible token. ‘Pick up your ears and live.’

【Tsk! People may mishear it!】

‘There are degrees of mishearing…’

And a few more minutes passed.

At some point, Harin and I were sitting on a narrow mattress with our lower bodies covered with the same blanket.

And she rested her head on my shoulder.

– This is the final news.

– It is said that the recent successive gate raids of the Triangle Guild, a large hunter guild, are failing.

– This time, it is said that they responded with emergency support from small and medium-sized guilds.

– Experts are analyzing the cause as the continued poor condition of major hunters.

‘If it’s the Triangle Guild, it’s definitely…’

【Is this the place we went on a business trip last time?】

I think I went with Harin for a safety inspection or something.

Large guilds began to collapse.

The reason is probably due to the condition of the S-class hunter.

Maybe it was because my nerf abilities were starting to kick in.

“The situation at Triangle Guild doesn’t seem to be very good. Why is that?”

I asked a light question to ask Harin what she thought.

“… Huh? yes? I didn’t hear it. Please say it again.”

“No, nothing…. Cough! Cough!”

【Here we go again. Are you asking me to go to the hospital?】

Because of the curse, I ended up bleeding again.

Every time I coughed, it felt like my veins were melting.

“Huh? This smell is… you! Seriously, did you vomit blood?”

“Hu, ugh,”

I endured the pain and called the system to view the buff window.

‘Buff window, view’

[Buff window, view information on buffs currently applied to ‘Han Si-woo’.]

[Buff Window]

Buff: None

Debuff: Curse of Forbidden Magical Power

==========

Nothing has changed in particular.

But why did cognitive and sensory sharing disappear?

‘This isn’t what’s important right now…’

“You, please wait a moment. I will heal you right away.”

I forgot Harin’s condition and answered by nodding.

“Heel.”

A green light surrounds my entire body.

Her warm healing brings peace of mind and body.

But the situation is still not good.

“I can’t believe it… I don’t think my treatment can completely cure it… If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to pull out my trump card.”

“Huh? Well, what is that?”

“You, it stings a little.”

“No, I have to tell you what the method is… Huh?”

Against my will, my eyelids slid shut without even a single resistance.

In her right hand was a syringe.

“We will perform precision treatment from now on. When you wake up, you will be healthy.

I felt the time for sleep getting closer and closer.

“Good night, you.”

– Side.
