“Chapter 68: The Second Request”

– Ahh, so that’s why your face is… like that.

– Uuu… Imagine if people found out one of the Four Fiendish Guardians got scolded by her mom.

Mumuruu buried her face full of tears on Letty’s chest.

We tried treating her face but some bruises just wouldn’t disappear.

From what Mumuruu said, her mother put an “Incurable” curse on her, so she would have to lift it herself.

“Incurable” is a condition that prevents the wielder from healing, both by normal regeneration or by potions.

Another way to revoke it is using holy potions.

Other than that, the only thing for curses is to prevent them before they happen.

Maybe the Sage of the Forest would be able to do something, but she’s too busy laughing exaggeratedly at Mumuruu’s face.

By the way, I would not be able to make holy potions. The level required to mess with holy water is way too high for me.

– Anyways, let’s go back to the story. Mistress, I understand why you’re here, but why does Takaya have to go to the demon world?

Letty asked as she cleared the snot from her clothes.

– Well, Ma was furious that I broke the spear, and that our blacksmith was gone. She was interested in Takaya, though. You know, fixing the trident isn’t a piece of cake.

– So, this Azaasha-san asked you to bring me to the demon world?

– Yep.

What does she need me for?

At the very least, I know I won’t be killed. Although I’ll likely get a scolding too for using the Heaven Jewel to fix the spear.

– Out of curiosity, what would happen if I don’t go?

– I’ll die.

– She’ll die. For sure. Her mother will put a nail on each of her fingers and toes, and then she’ll slash the mistress’ fingers, then her ankles, then the wrists, elbows, hips, and shoulders. In that order. With a huge machete.

– Alright, I got it. You can stop now. It gets worse the more I hear.

I feel a little sick. What kind of yakuza torture is that?

– Hmm, the demon world. Grandmaster, can I ask you something?

– Of course you can. Because surely you won’t ask if you can go to the demon world. Right?

– Uhh… Well… Yes, actually.

From the moment Mumuruu showed up I already knew I wanted to help her.

Partly because I didn’t want to see Letty and Mumuruu being distressed, partly because at this point Mumuruu is my number one client.

From a business perspective, having a good relationship with a trusted client is always a good idea. Especially with a Succubi.

I have to go visit that Azaasha.

There is a lot in my mind.

An adventurers guild that makes business with an entire demon race.

Is there anyone in this world who has even come close to this?

– UWAAAH! Takaya, you’re a saint! You’re a god! Thank you so much!

Me refusing would’ve caused Mumuruu to lose all her limbs.

But honestly, I’m more concerned about this Azaasha person. Her strength might be comparable to Ever.

I wonder if I’ll get beaten to death with just seconds of meeting her.
