In this world, "curse" is one of the states and can be broadly divided into two categories: "cursed object" and "cursed creature".
If you curse a creature, you must use skills such as.Conversely, you can't curse people without skills.
If you curse something, in addition to the skill curse, there are ways to keep feelings of hatred and resentment coming.In fact, the quality and amount of resentment are also important to curse, so it's not a simple story...
Why do you need skills to curse creatures? Because creatures have resistance to curses and cannot break through that resistance without the help of their skills.
Resistance is also effective against skill curses. Even if you are inflicted with a spell, it will not work if you have high resistance.This does not change at the skill level of 10.
In contrast, objects have no resistance, and even without skills, they pass the curse of resentment.
However, Epic (Legendary) and higher weapons are not cursed to the extent of human resentment, nor are semi-life spells effective.Even if there is no resistance, the "rating" of the existence is high, so that the lower curse can be played.
The exception is the Holy Magic Blacksmith, which is created as a cursed weapon from the beginning.
When cursed, things and creatures remain the same, carrying great disadvantages.
Moreover, there are countless types of disadvantages.This is because the type of resentment that originated changes the disadvantages that appear.
Occasionally, benefits may be obtained in exchange for major disadvantages, but in most cases, deductions are negative.
This time, the curse on the Titans was the most popular thing called "gradually fading and dying".
If you can't see your status, you can't mistake it for illness.
What is important here is that the cursed state does not occur naturally.
Curse is something that always uses someone's will as a medium, and the fact that someone is cursed is also evidence of the existence of a 'malicious attacker'.
Now we know why Maria decided that the risk of settlement was low.
In other words, Maria and the others know who attacked the Titans.
Of course, he knew the attacker's skills and decided it was impossible to curse me.
Also, I don't think it's in Maria's judgment materials, but even if we were to be cursed, I'm relieved that we now have the technique to lift the curse.
To heal the curse, you'll need to use high levels of Heal Magic and Decurse items.
At least the curse cannot be cured with the antidote potion.
The church? That's not gonna help shit.
We all have access to Healing Magic and a large amount of Decurse Items.
Even if all the Titans, about 1,000 of them, were cursed, they could be cured with plenty of room.
If Maple had brought in merchants other than us, we would not have been able to lift the curse and the settlement would have been terrible.
When we entered the Giants' settlement, we first went to the village chief's house.
I thought it was a "chief" because it was a family settlement, but it was usually a "village chief".
The settlement is the size of the Titan standard and is larger than imagined, so it continues to be held by the maple.
Many of them were watching us from the bungalow, but they never came near us.
When I asked Maple why, she said she was avoiding contact with others and reducing her risk of infection.
Since this curse is a type of curse that does not infect people from person to person, it is thought that another cause has spread.
For the record, all the Titans wear less cloth like maples.
Both men and women wear clothes that hide only the chest.The lower body is a miniskirt for women and shorts for men, which is exactly the minimum condition.
In addition, the hair color was green and the color of the eyes was uniform in brown.
It was the first time in the world that the color of hair and eyes was fixed by race.Combined with the tree straps of the name, it really feels like a tree.
Now, as I was looking around the settlement while being held by the maple, I saw a huge bungalow.
Maybe that's the village chief's house.
"Jin-san, that's the village chief's house!"
Answer each other and end it.
Without heart, Maple's quick walk got a little faster again, and soon arrived at the village chief's house.
He entered the village chief's house momentarily and headed straight for the deepest room.
In addition, the Titan footwear is grass footwear and seems to be a culture that cannot be undressed indoors.
"Mayor! I brought you medicine!"
I'm not a medicine.
"A maple... You found the medicine...?"
I was in the room... lying down was a male giant in his 70s.
The village chief looked pale from the sight, and a clear death appeared.... this is going to die (sure).
"Yeah, this is Jin, the guy who sells drugs."
"Really... Thank you, Lord Jin, for coming to the village in this situation..."
The mayor of the village obviously woke up and lowered his head to me.
Normally, it's just a suicide attempt, like going to a disease-endemic settlement.
"My name is Sakaki and I am the village chief...I'm sorry for not being able to handle anything, but let me get to the point right away..... "
"You mean selling drugs?"
"Yes, two things are important: the effect of the medicine and the quantity...The price pays the quote.... "
Mayor, you're fat. It's a curse, but...
"If the amount deposited with the Chamber of Commerce is not enough, you can make it a liability...Now it's more important to save the village.... "
I know you think of the village as a good village mayor, but unfortunately the prerequisites are wrong.
"There seems to be a mistake, but I have nothing to do with the Gork Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh dear... I thought you brought maple from the port town...?"
"Huh? No, I met Jin-san on the way, he had the medicine, so I brought him along.He cured me of my injuries with medicine, so I thought Jin-san's medicine would work. "
"Wait a minute... I want time to tidy up my head...."
The village chief meditated and opened his eyes again in about 10 seconds.
"So Jin is a merchant who came directly to negotiate a deal and heard about the village from the maple he met on the way, and he came to the village because he had the medicine by chance....?"
Exactly. This village chief can do it...!
Yeah, that's right.
"Again, I'm in a difficult situation...Direct transactions take time to negotiate..... "
I was going to spend a lot of time on business, too.
But I don't have time for that right now.
"In this case, let's skip the troublesome negotiations.Success reward. If we succeed in the treatment, pay for it.You don't have to pay right away if you promise to trade directly. "
"That is………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"
Normally speaking, my proposal is not a merchant's idea.
Because whoever sees it, it's a pretty bad bet.
"Instead, the price of success is much higher than the market price."
A declaration to force high risk crawl returns into high risk high returns.
Note that the story is cracked, so it is already a low risk high return.
"I am prepared for the price...I see.... Thank you for accepting In-san's proposal.... "
Negotiations have been concluded. Who uses the medicine first? "
"I'll use it... In the unlikely event, the elderly should be the first to die...."
Whatever you say, it's medicine that a stranger gives you.Of course, there will be anxiety.
If you take medicine that doesn't suit your disease, you may die from side effects.
Knowing all the risks, he chose to become a laboratory bench.
I said, "Do you want me to imitate the village chief as a laboratory bench?"
It is hard to say that the village chief, or village leader, is right to die first.
"It doesn't matter... I've already taken over...Maple, please call Tsubaki as a companion...Before you take your medicine, I will tell you the policy..... "
Yeah!
The maple ran out.
"Sorry, when Tsubaki arrives, please explain the medicine I will take...."
"Okay."
If you die, leave as much information as you can.At least we're not going to do the same thing over and over again.
This village chief can do it....!
"I was in the middle of a conversation earlier, but how much medicine do you have...?"
"I don't remember the fine numbers, but I'm sure I have more than 300.But I don't know if the Titans are as effective as humans. "
What difference does potion make between a human and a giant?
A: No. Works in the same amount as humans.
Is it not proportional to the volume?Titans, the settings are too complicated.
"As far as I know, there are about 200 people infected with the disease...I'm a little worried about the numbers... "
"It will take time, but if we go back to the Chamber of Commerce, we can get the numbers together.Prioritize the bad guys and if you run out, you can go back and get it. "
"That's right... that gives me peace of mind..."
Either way, the detoxification potion won't cure the curse, so the number doesn't make much sense.
The question is how do we proceed with the curse?
"Chief! I brought Tsubaki-san!"
"Grandpa, I'm home."
The maple ran back with Dota Dota.
Then a woman in her 20s appeared from behind.
"This is Tsubaki, my granddaughter...He is a merchant who sells medicine to me, Lord Jin..... "
Thank you very much.
Nice to meet you.
The village chief introduced each one, so we'll say hello as well.
"Tsubaki, I'll take Nin-san's medicine...In case, you should take over the village chief..... "
"Yes, I understand."
Tsubaki replied indifferently without changing her expression.
"Nin-san, please explain the medicine...."
"Ah, first of all, this is my antidote potion."
That said, I removed the detoxification potion from the disguise item box and placed it in a location visible to the three Titans.
"The effect heals the poison as it is called.Most diseases classified as poison can be cured.... for now, do you know what the type of disease is? "
I remember not listening to the details about the illness because there was a curse.The negotiation procedure was completely wrong...
"No, I don't know why...Even those who live almost the same life can be divided into those who get sick and those who don't, so it's difficult to identify.... "
"Well, then, it looks like the antidote potion won't be a problem for now.Conversely, if it doesn't heal, you can assume it's not poison. "
Unlike the original world medicine, one antidote potion can cure a fairly wide range of diseases.
There are limitations because it is not a panacea, but at least infectious diseases are mostly cured.Many infections can easily be classified as poisonous because they should not enter the body.
"What are the causes other than poison...?"
For example, it's a curse. A curse that weakens the opponent will also look like illness. "
I just got a good question, so I'll suggest the existence of a curse.
In this world, the existence of the curse is clear, but its mechanism has not been clarified.It is a state that only vaguely understands that it is caused by resentment.
"Is that a curse...?"
"Do you know how to be cursed or hated?"
"At least I don't...It's still a normal illness..... "
Well, I guess so.
If they suddenly say, "You're cursed," I think I suspect fraud.
"Well, that's off the record, but we're done explaining the detoxification potion.Have a question? "
"No, I'm fine...."
"Well, let's have a drink first, and if it's effective, that's fine.Another bottle if there is a change.If there is no change, we will judge it as bad. "
"Yes... I'll take it now..."
That said, the village chief put his mouth on my poison potion.
Because of the size ratio, the drink ended immediately and waited for the effect to appear. After a few seconds, the village chief shook his neck sideways.
"It doesn't seem to work... Jin-san, does it still take time for the effects to show up...?"
"No, it's strange if it doesn't work anymore.That means the antidote potion won't work. "
"Really...."
…………
The village chief unfortunately leaned down, and the maple looked like she was about to cry.Tsubaki remains expressionless.
"Jin-san! Is there anything else?!I'll do anything I can!? "
The maple will do anything.I don't know what to do...
"I also have medicine to curse it....."
"Do you have it!?"
Maple shouted at my suggestion.
"Oh, I have it. There are about the same number."
I will retrieve the medicine from the counterfeit item box again.His name is De-cursing Potion.It is a name without any twist.
High level of skill is required, rare materials are required, and there are limited circumstances in which it can be used, so it is a rare item that is not in circulation.
"It's just much more rare and expensive than the antidote potion.If it worked, it would be a stylish amount to use on all the sick. "
"Why do you have so many rare medicines...?"
"I don't care how much medicine I have.It's only natural to have as much as you can. "
Answer the village chief's questions with confidence.
In terms of RPG, it was a party that gave priority to updating the equipment rather than enriching the healing medicine.
This time it is an answer as a merchant role.
"What do we do? Want a drink?Now I'm offering the first one for free. "
It seems that the price from the second one will be rough (the fixed price is high in the first place).
Village chief! Drink!
"Now is the time to bet on a slight possibility...Let's have it..... "
The village chief, who was already ready, nodded to Maple's plea and drank the de-cursing potion.
Now, less than 10 seconds later, the dead man disappeared from the village chief's face.
I'm still pale because I'm not going back to my lost health, but at least it's clear to everyone that I took it off from a dying situation.
"This is... the pain has disappeared from my body...It seems to be healed..... "
Village chief! Good!
…………
The mayor's face was stunned, and the maple floats with delight.Tsubaki remains expressionless.
"Now it has become clear that it was not the disease that attacked the village, but the curse...Investigating the cause is imperative, but I want to de-curse it now as a matter of priority...Mr. Jin, I promise to deal directly with the settlement and I will definitely pay for it....Could you sell me some medicine...? "
"Of course, I don't mind selling.But I don't have a guarantee that it's healed, okay?Do you really think we should wait and see? "
It is not a good idea to inadvertently spread the medicine after taking it and until it is fully healed.
If you see the status, it's obvious that the curse has been lifted...
"That's right... However, some people in the village, like me, are experiencing the progression of the curse.I want to give them medicine and improve their situation as soon as possible.... "
"Sure, it's better than getting worse while we wait."
There are risks associated with the use of medication, but if you are already in a crisis situation, you may want a curable option.Now that the curse is clear, there are no natural healing possibilities.
After discussion with the village chief, we decided to take Maple and Tsubaki back to the seriously ill.
There was a proposal to leave the distribution to the maple, but I was worried about having the Titans carry bottles of small potions, and the maple was rejected because it had a huge fallen record.
At the moment, the number of people in the settlement is 34.Since it was dispersed throughout the settlement, it was necessary to distribute medicine in a way that would circumvent the settlement.
I'm glad to be able to look around the village, but it's a shame to call it an emergency.There is no street, and just looking at the huge bungalow is no fun.
It's a simple job to get into the house of the seriously ill and have them drink de-cursing potions.
The Decurse Potion was extremely effective, and as soon as I drank it, all the critically ill went well.Stray Stone, Advanced Chamber of Commerce Decurse Potion.
In addition, I am currently distributing Decurse Potions as Decontamination Potions.This is a request from the village chief to prevent the curse from spreading.
I don't want to lie in business, so I'll leave the explanation to Maple and Camellia.
About one hour after the start of the treatment, half of it was finally over.
Interestingly enough, everyone has turned a blind eye to the detoxification potion for now.
According to Maple, the Titans don't get sick and get better as soon as they get injured, so the settlement doesn't have anything like a potion.Sturdy race, Titans.
If you don't have the habit of using medicine, it's not hard to believe that one medicine will cure your illness.
However, the story changes when the illness (curse) is actually cured by the medicine.
"Are you sure you'll be cured just by drinking that kind of water...?"
"I can't believe it! It's healed! I love it!"
This is the line before and after treating a Titan woman.Nice applause.
It should be added that the response rate before and after treatment is 100%.
... what do you mean, you can see that the favoritism has soared?
The distance was obviously getting closer. I pulled a little.
Many Titans have suddenly become familiar with it after treatment.
Like Mio, I pulled a little too.
Besides, I'm surprised everyone's hugging me with gratitude.
Ren-kun, you can't avoid a young woman hugging you...?
It's a good idea to accept the reward.Softer and more pleasant than you can imagine.I want to calm down and leave it to myself for a while.
Naturally, men and Obasan's thank-you hugs are all evading fast.
I can't calm down because Maria-san always enters an interception situation.....
I am Jin's escort.
The moment of the hug, for a moment, Maria will definitely show up for the interception.Hugging the Titans is like attacking a human being, so I can't help it.
I'm fine just because I have a high status, and if the average person gets a full hug of gratitude, there will be one more injured person instead of fewer sick people.
If Maria intercepts, there will be 1 less sick and 1 more dead. It's not stylish.
Would it be racist if everyone reacted the same way if one or two people did?
If so, it's quite a strange race.....
A: Can I answer that?
Apparently Alta knows why.
Let me know if I need to get some important tips for sightseeing on this island.
A: Yes, the Titans basically never get hurt or get sick.Conversely, resistance to pain is very low.If the Titans were to suffer like this curse, it would be more burdensome than the Master could have imagined.Also, the Titans are tough, so no one has ever unilaterally helped them.Therefore, I am not accustomed to showing gratitude to others.Together, these conditions led to such an excessive reaction.
I see. To sum up, it means, 'The Titans are horny.'
A: Yes.
It's not too cluttery to summarize!?
Mio, the penetration of your body.
I don't deny it's miscellaneous, but it's not wrong.
That's true, but....
I'm worried the bad guys might trick me into being a racist.
Not exploited by the Jaguar Chamber of Commerce?Is it a reciprocal deal?
... you're in the most deceptive position right now, master?
I can't deny that.
You're such a bad guy, aren't you?
Dora looks at her pure eyes and asks.
No such thing.....
Even if Dora is a naughty guy, Dora is a naughty guy.
I'm glad you said that, but first I wanted you to deny the bad guy.
I don't mean to call you "The Good Guy"...
I continued to go around the house of the seriously ill after that.
If there is a mild patient in the home of a seriously ill person, he was told that he also needs medicine for the mild person, but Tsubaki handled it by communicating the decision of the village chief.
In addition, I told him to go to the village chief's house as soon as it got serious.There are about 10 de-cursing potions in the village chief's house for emergency use.
It took another hour, a total of about two hours, to cure all the seriously ill, and then went back to the village chief's house.
"Village chief, I've cured all the sick!"
I'm back.
Maple stormed the village chief's house with a loud voice.Tsubaki is as expressionless as ever.
"Really? Thank you, Maple, Tsubaki.Thank you very much, Jin. "
That said, the village chief who welcomed us stood up (...) and lowered his head.
It seems to have recovered by walking in just two hours.My voice feels tight.
"Village chief, have you heard that the number of serious cases has increased?"
"No, fortunately, no such report.I'm going to follow up in the next few days, but what will you do about Lord Jin? "
"If possible, I'd like you to stay in the settlement.I can handle a lot of things if I stay here. "
"It would be helpful if you did that."
Although the deal was closed, not all de-cursing potions were handed over to the village chief.
Basically, the Titans aren't good at managing items based on human size. It's because it's small.
If the number of critically ill people increases while we're back in Port Town, the Decurse Potions we keep may not be enough.
"For the time being, are there any accommodations in the settlement?"
"No, I don't. There is an empty house, but it is not an immediate situation."
No one wanted to stay in the settlement, so I didn't expect the accommodation to exist.
But what does it mean to be an empty house that can't live right away?
A: It's a desolate house that no one else has lived in for decades.
It certainly can't live right away.
If I call the maid, I will soon be able to live...
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but may I stay at the villagers' house?"
"If the villagers are good, I'll be fine."
Well then, Jin-san, stay with us!
It was Maple that ran up here.
"Surely none of the maple houses were affected by the curse?"
"Yeah, everybody's fine!"
Maple nodded forcefully to the village chief's question.
"If I wanted Lord Jin to stay, I would have chosen a house where none of the victims of the curse had left.The Maple House seems to be fine.Would you mind if Jin stayed at Maple House? "
"Oh, I don't mind. Maple, thank you."
Yeah!
So we decided to leave the village chief's house to stay at Maple's house.
The Maple House was a bungalow about a five-minute walk north of the village chief's house.
There is a small but splendid field in the back.... I said it was small, but it was "small" based on the size of the giant clan.From a human point of view, it cannot be said to be small.
Maple explained what happened, and Maple's parents welcomed us without hesitation.
His mother was a cypress, and his father was a cedar, a name that people with hay fever would hate.
For dinner, rice (huge) harvested in the fields was used as the staple food, miso soup (huge ingredients), grilled fish (huge), and croquettes (huge).Anything but a croquette?
"Here you go. Rice is our pride."
"It's the best in the village!"
Hmm.
I can't use the Giants' dishes, so I have them following my own dishes.
Of course, I prepared tables and chairs myself.Maple's parents seemed to be looking at the item box for the first time, and it was impressive that they were surprised when they took out the table.
An item box that holds Giant size items is an incredible rarity.
"I'll take it" × 8
I'll take it.
The whole family just boasted, and the rice tasted good and honestly tasted good.
Not to mention the disadvantage, it took some time to get used to rice grains 125 times the size.It's about one bite at a time.Something's wrong...
The tofu in the miso soup was cut in one size. It was further cut.
Grilled fish bones were a little weapon.If it sticks in my mouth, it will hurt.
The croquette couldn't reach the potato section with a sip.Even if you just eat clothes...
Conclusion. Giant size meal, fun!
I was told that I could take a bath after a while, but I decided not to do it here.
Cleanse yourself quickly with "Clean".
And the incident happened when Maple got out of the bath the most.
"Phew, that was nice hot water!"
"Hey!?"
The reason Mio spoke up was because the maple in the bath was completely naked.
I just said that I had nothing to hide.
"Nah, why are you naked!?"
"Huh? Because it was hot.What's wrong with that? "
From the look of the maple, I can't feel anything called shame at all.
"Maple, it's in front of the customers. Get dressed quickly."
Hmm.
My parents' reaction was like, "Watch out for my daughter who made a little mistake."
"Yes."
The maple walking to get changed did not show how to hide or how to hurry.
... Alta, if you knew, please explain.
A: Yes, the Titans are not ashamed and do not resist exposing their skin in public.Wearing clothes is a culture tailored to people after starting to interact with them.In the past, it seems that people who have interacted with each other started by asking them to wear clothes in public.
I see.... No, the maple is a reincarnation, isn't it?
Even reincarnated people who have lost their memories still have shame?
No wonder, when you're reincarnated into the Titans, the shame you had when you were human disappears?
A: It's possible, but I can't say for sure.
I'm a little worried about the reason, but I don't plan to talk about the reincarnated, and I won't get a chance to hear it.
