Evan - That, Erza, Put Down the Knife in Your Hands First

"Irene, Erza, I'm back..." After Evan returned home, he directly went through Irene's magic tool store. He greeted Irene and Erza who were looking at the store, and was ready to go to the bedroom on the second floor. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something. Evan lay on the handrail of the stairs and shouted down, "Because I met some unclean things on the street, so I plan to wash it a little! Irene, Erza, do you need to take a shower later?"

"Go! Brother Evan, I just came back from exercise and have already washed, there is no need for now..."

Erza, who was helping Irene watch the store downstairs, turned around and replied when she heard Evan's voice.

"Okay..."

After Evan received a response from Erza, he nodded his head and went directly to the second floor of Irene's magic tool store.

At the same time, it was also the resting, sleeping, and daily living areas of Evan, Irene, and Erza. Because there were only three of them living, the construction here was not very big, only a bathroom...

Evan walked up to the second floor and opened the door of the bathroom. He was greeted by a damp hot air. Due to the fact that Erza had just taken a bath and used the bathroom, the damp air in the bathroom had not yet receded.

"Hu..."

Evan opened the door and dispersed the damp air. Then, he walked to the bath that was used to take a bath and began to fill the water. At the same time, his took off her clothes and placed the clothes that were stained with dust on his body on the automatic washing machine.

Before these clothes were thrown into the washing machine, Evan flipped through his trouser pocket and checked if there was anything on his body that could not be stained with water. In case something that could not be stained with water was violently crushed by the washing machine...

"Eh?"

Just as Evan was stripped from head to toe with only his underwear left.

His hand that reached into his trouser pocket suddenly felt a subtle feeling. It was as if Evan's finger had been bitten by something. If one had to make a comparison, it was probably the same feeling as a mosquito lying on a human body and preparing to bite. Although it did not hurt, it was a bit twisted, especially for someone like Evan who had no senses.

This made Evan frown. At the same time, he took out the thing in his pocket. What entered his eyes was naturally a small snake covered in purple scales. Evan looked at the small purple snake in front of his and was stunned, "This is... Hey, how could I have forgotten about her"

That snake was naturally the little snake that Cubellios usually played with, Erik...

Just as Evan was regretting that he should not have forgotten the little snake, the little snake slipped from Evan's hand and fell onto the bath.

In the next second...

With a roar, Cubellios's body emitted bursts of white light. The curse in its body was being broken.

"This is..."

Evan looked at the scene in front of his and was stunned. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

"So that's how it is. It's because the bath was enchanted by Irene. The curse on Cubellios was completely removed by Irene's cleaning magic..."

Evan looked at Cubellios, whose body was gradually returning to its original state. He was enlightened.

"Boom!"

Just as Evan was lamenting about how powerful Irene was and the cleansing magic she had cast, Cubellios's body was suddenly covered in cracks. Then, there was a violent explosion. Countless purple curses were released from Cubellios's body.

For a moment, the entire bathroom was covered in fog...

"Brother Evan!" Erza, who was watching the shop on the first floor, rushed up with a knife when she heard the noise on the second floor. She pushed open the bathroom door and asked Evan nervously, "What happened? Are you okay? I just heard a violent roar downstairs..."

"Ahem, I'm fine..."

Evan, who was in the bathroom, turned his head when he heard the voice of Erza. Caught off guard, Evan accidentally choked on the poisonous smoke of the curse.

When Evan turned to look at Erza, he saw Erza looking at Evan with an expressionless face and holding a sword in her hand. Erza's eyes, which used to be shining, were now a little confused.

"Erza?"

Evan felt that Erza was in a very strange state, so he raised his eyebrows and tentatively called the name of Erza.

"Brother Evan, who is that girl"

Erza stared straight at the pool and asked Evan in a calm tone.

"That girl?"

After Evan heard Erza, there was a trace of doubt in his expression. He followed Erza's line of sight and looked at the pool. The original Cubellios had disappeared and was replaced by a snow-white girl with purple hair. Her eyes were timid, like a newborn beast. She looked at the whole world with fear. She was about eleven or two years old.

"Ah..."

Evan looked at her in the pool, opened his mouth slightly, and fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later...

Evan was silent for a while. His brain was working rapidly. Finally, after a moment of deliberation, Evan first turned to look at Erza and whispered, "In short, Erza, put down the knife in your hand first."

Ten minutes later...

In the family room...

After releasing the curse, the purple-haired girl in pajamas looked at the whole world with hazy eyes. She seemed to be full of curiosity about everything in front of her. As a snake, her memory had disappeared with the curse under the cleaning magic of Irene.

This was the reason why Evan was troubled. Originally, Evan had planned to ask Makarov or Irene for help. He had wanted to see if he could get rid of the curse without erasing the girl's memories. As a result, the current development was the same as the situation in the original world after the curse had been cleared out...

"So brother, explain it!"

Erza crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Evan who was sitting opposite her.

"Haha!"

"What are you worried about? Isn't that normal? After all, Evan is also at the age to bring girls home, right?"

Irene sat next to Erza and revealed a gentle smile.

At the same time, after speaking, Irene did not forget to turn her head and ask Evan, "Tell me, am I right? Evan..."

"Eh..."

Evan looked into Irene's purple eyes, his body trembling, unable to speak.

"Too early! Too early!"

"This kind of thing is too early for Brother Evan!"

Without waiting for Evan to explain anything, Erza slapped hard on the table in front of her. She seemed to be a little excited.

"That..."

Evan looked at the agitated Erza and opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"But, there is still a need to explain something, right? Evan..."

Just as Evan was about to say something, Irene revealed a beautiful smile and looked at Evan.

"Eh..."

Evan was just about to say something when he heard what Irene said. He quickly turned to look at Irene and then met Irene's pair of purple eyes that emitted endless pressure.

"This is the case. This matter starts from when I went to suppress the original director of the Bureau of Magical Development, Brain. In fact, after I broke through the Tower of Heaven, I found that Brain had secretly taken away five children..."

"This girl is the pet snake of one of the children. The moment I saw the girl who turned into a snake, I felt the power of the curse. Originally, I planned to go back to the guild and find the Guild Master and Irene to help solve the curse. Who knew..."

Evan told the matter about Cubellios, Erik, the former director of the Bureau of Magical Development, Brain, and the Tower of Heaven to Erza and Irene, who were in front of her.
