Ch. 103 Curse

( Undines pov )

Fascinating.

was the word I would describe the young man as he defeated Vanica. Seeing him fall. I gently grabbed him with my wayer magic and brought him to the infirmary.

Lolopechka:" Undine! do you think he'll be fine."

" I'm sure. Look, Scathach seems calm."

Seeing Yutos partner remakn calm as she held her spear it looked like she was guarding Yutos room.

Gadjah:" I felt a lot of nature element headed towards Yuto, but for some reason, he didn't absorb them, but used something else."

Lolopechka:" What??"

" Maybe something close with nature."

Gadjah:" I thought the same as well."

Gadjah waited here until Yuto woke up. and Lolopechka and I have to calm the citizens.

( Yuto Pov )

" Ugh. I feel like shit." Waking up like my body was ripped to shredds, I saw Scathach sitting next to my body.

" Scathach?"

Scathach:" Yuto, you're awake."

She said worryingly, caressing my face with her hand. I held it.

" I'm alright, Scathach. I'll live."

Scathach smiled.

Scathach:" Of course."

Scathachs:" I'll go get you food you stay there."

" Alright."

I tried to sit up but couldn't.

" Sigh, great, now I'm stuck to the bed."

< Sir, you should check on the curse.>

' Right the curse. thank you, Iris.'

< Of course, sir.>

[ Curse: Unholy pact ]

( Description: The one who activated the curse wouldn't die unless the user is killed.)

' Sigh, so that means she's still alive. Now that I think about it, I didn't receive any exp.'

Scathach came in and looked at me as she held a plate of food. It was fruits from the trees in the kingdom.

Scathach:" Is something wrong, Yuto?"

" Sigh. it's the curse. She wouldn't die unless I died with her."

Scathach sat down again and put the plate on the nightstand.

Scathach:" I see, that's a problem. "

Scathach fed me some fruit.

And, as i stared at the ceiling, I spoke.

"Can I wear my sunglasses?"

Scathach:" No. Why don't you keep them off this time? Besides, I want to see your whole face."

" Tsk."

Scathach grabbed my ear and pulled it.

Scathach:" Don't click your tongue at me, your man." She calmly said as she smiled.

" Did my mother tell you to say that?"

Scathach:" Of course I have her consent to punish you whenever I want. "

" Traitors."

Scathach stopped pulling my ear and grabbed another fruit, and fed it to.

As she cut fruits again, I checked my status.

' Sigh, even with all the training with might guy, I only increased my status by 240 points.'

' Right, Kakashi did some weird wall climbing with one hand. Maybe I should do that.'

I've decided to train in the heart kingdom for a while and learn the mana method.

but I also needed to check my mission completion.

' Iris, missions.'

' Cool, I can look like a badass if I can punch away magic.' I thought as I felt myself calm down as I took a bite of the fruit that Scathach presented.

' Sigh, for now I should just rest. And wait to heal'

( Megicula Pov )

" That boy was interesting." I spoke inside of Vanicas' mind.

Vanica:" Hehe, I agree with you on that."

' That boy has a familiar magic grimore. But that last attack. I wamt to see more about it. I want to see the curse inflicted on him do. Will he die like the rest or surprise me again.'

Vanica:" Phew!! finally, my arm is back!!"

" Good, now let's home. I'm starting to get bored."

Vanica:" Can't we just see the kid again!?"

" He's recovering at the moment we can't let our fun waste... Is that a scar?"

Vanica:" Huh!? Where!!?" She started to scheck her body.

" On your neck, there's a scar."

Vanica:" Ah, you're right!!" She touched the scar and felt the difference between it from her skin.

Vanica:" How!? I was able to heal from those holy light attacks!!?"

' Holy light, I haven't seen that in forever. I've seen light magic, but that isn't close to holy light. It must've been that weird energy he was using.'

" It must've been something to deal with his transformation that made him gain those cat ears and tail."

Vanica:" Ah! do you think so?"

" Yes."

' I want to see more of that as well.'

" Let's head back home, I'm sure we've made a lot of noise."

Vanica:" Right!"

( Yuto pov )

" Ugh. sigh."

I felt the pain in my arm stop finally.

Gadjah:" Yeah, that's definitely a curse."

Undine:" Sigh, I'm sorry, Yuto, even though it wasn't your place to fight for us, we've caused you more trouble."

" It's fine, I think I can manage."

I could finally sit up as they checked my health.

Though I gained a black curse on my stomach along with a scar.

'Let's hope nobody sees this back at home.'

Scathach:" A scar huh? I hope you left one kn that woman." She spoke as she caressed my stomach.

It felt ticklish, so I had to use every fiber of my being not to smile or laugh.

Scathach:" Hoh? you're ticklish?"

'Crap.'

Undine:" Ahem, Yuto, you can stay here anytime you want. Please don't hesitate to call out for help."

"Thank you, Undine."

I turned to Gadjah.

" You don't mind if you could teach me that Mana method, right?"

Gadjah:" We should wai..."

" I'm fine, Gadjah, I think I could handle it."

Gadjah:" Sigh, it's your body, but I'll guide you to the teaching ground."

" Alright."

* A month later*

I was climbing the mountain with one arm, Gadjah and Scathach were down below looking.

* Breathing heavily *

" This...is.....way.harder...tha.n...it...lo..oks."

I kept climbing as I reached the top, where Scathach and Gadjah floated up to.

Gadjah:" I don't get how you're able to do this? I can't even reach half, especially with the breathing technique you taught me."

" It's....all...in..the...body...i....think??"

Scathach:" He's just weird. Get used to it."

Gadjah took her wisdom to heart, and he nodded.

Undine:" Still training?"

" Undine!! I need the waatterrrr."

Undine:" Sigh, am I a water source now?"

" Yes." I spoke with a serious face as I lay down, looking up at the three.

* Splash *

Undine just splashed water on me.

" Eh, that'll work."

I got up as I shook my head from the excess water in my hair.

" So how's Lolopechka?" I looked up to Undine only to see her looking away.

" Oi, don't tell me you have a thing for little boys?"

I looked at her with disgust.

Undine:" Ahem no. I don't." She stated as she walked away.

I looked at Scathach.

" Aren't you going to defend me here? I feel like a victim."

Scathach smiled.

Scathach:" You wanted a harem. Deal with it."

Gadjah:" Children these days weird." He shook his head as he followed Undine.

" Oi, I heard that!"

Scathach:" Clme on, Yuto, let's see Lolopechka."

" Sigh, following you, I guess."

* A few minutes later *

* Bam *

Lolopecha fell, but she lifted her head and shouted.

Lolopechka:" What you're leaving already!?"

" Already? we've been here for a month. I think it's time we head out."

Undine:" I see. You're both always welcome here."

Lolopechka looked at Scathach since during these months, Scathach helped Undkne teach and advising Lolopechka.

" Well, I'll make sure to write letters and come visit."

Lolopechka:" I see, please come visit."

I smiled.

" We will."

* Next day *

Lolopechka:" DON'T GO!!"

She held Scathach as I pulled Scathach towards me, and Undine did the same with Lolopechka.

" Let go! She mine!!"

Undine:" Lolopechka, this isn't how a queen should act!"

Gadjah:" Sigh."

" Oi!.help us you damn bastard."

Gadjah:" Guess I have no choice. Excuse me, Lolopechka."

He helped Undine pull her off as I took Scathach into my arms.

Undine:" Sigh, finally, goodbye, you two."

Lolopechka:" NOOOOOOooooo!!!"

Undien took her back into the castle as Gadjah waved us off.

Gadjah:" Goodbye, Yuto and Scatahch, may you two travel safely."

" Laters Gadjah."

Scathach and I left the heart kingdom to travel back to Clover Kingdom as going to Spade kingdom was akin to suicide at the moment.

( Yami Pov )

Julius:" Oh? "

" What's up Julius did that kid get himself killed?"

Julius;" Oh no, apparently, Yuto managed to make an alliance with the Heart kingdom."

" Huh? isn't that supposed to be for spoiled brats?"

Julius:" Apparently, Yuto managed to be friends with the queen and her subjects."

Yamk:" Tch, damn brat is going on adventures while I'm here working."

Julius:" Haha, didn't you force Vanessa to.."

" Quite."

Julius:" Well, it appears Yuto made a huge merit. What do you think I should promote him to, Yami?"

" Just give him a negative promotion."

Julius:" Now we can't have that. How about..let's see, he has 156 stars! that's a new record. So he'll be granted Senior Magic Knight. He'll be able to participate in the war merit conferement ceremony. "

" Hoh? Is that's so?"

Julius:" Well, Yami, how does it feel to strike gold? Your squad mate already set new records."

" HAHAHAHA, that's right!! I'm a genius for looking for talent!!"

Juluis:" Yes, but I'm sure it'll make a lot of noise because of this. Have you given Yutos Salary yet?"

" Ah!? I spent it all."

Julius:" Sigh."

Julius:" Make sure to send a letter to Yuto so he could participate in the ceremony."

" Right, right, I'll try."
