[19] (EP-67.1) Shadows Cast #3

067 – Shadows Looming Ark #3

I actually had quite a bit of experience washing women’s bodies.

It had always been my job to bathe the kids in the nursery, and lately with Aira’s quirky soapy bath as a ‘reward’.

“Then excuse me.”

“…Uggh.”

Seuk.

I took off Mirna’s shirt.

Whenever a woman had her clothes being taken off by some man, it would be natural for her to refuse or become defensive.

Mirna would’ve exclaimed, “You dare take off my clothes!?” However, she didn’t say anything. To be more precise, she simply couldn’t.

Just how severe was her fever?

Sch.

“Woah.”

When I put my hand on her forehead, the extreme heat startled me.

How could a person’s head even get this hot?

I might be able to fry an egg with this!

For a moment, things like a woman’s body and underwear came to mind. But that passing thought quickly disappeared once a sense of duty ignited inside my heart.

I dunked the towel in cold water and squeezed off the excess, before wiping Mirna’s body with it.

“It will be cold.”

“Hooo, haaaeu….”

As time passed, her breathing became rougher and rougher.

She seemed stuffed, perhaps because of the bra restricting her chest.

“Lady, I am doing this out of good will. Please don’t misunderstand.”

“Wh, wha, what are you doing….”

So I took off Mirna Draco’s bra.

It wasn’t difficult to undo her underwear, thanks to my experience in changing Aira’s and taking Elgar’s clothes off.

Boing-.

Two soft and covetous looking mountains soon presented themselves.

I tried to act like a gentleman in order not to look like I was harassing a sick person. I even tried to look away from her. Alas, as a man, wandering thoughts were inevitable.

“Eueuk.”

But the sound of Mirna lying on the bed in pain managed to wake me up.

I began to carefully wipe from bottom to between, above and on the side of her breas?s.

Poing, poing-.

“Eut, hoo… hooo….”

Did the feeling of a cold wet towel touching her hot skin feel good?

Mirna’s expression also gradually loosened. Seeing that her breathing was stabilizing, I was relieved.

“Theo, Gospel….”

Regaining some consciousness, Mirna softly called out my name. Thus, I lent her my ears.

“Yes. What’s the matter?”

“… Why, just the front, only the chest… ? You can stop wiping there.”

“…… I will do the back as well. I will lay you down now.”

With that said, I turned Mirna’s body around, with her back facing the ceiling. This was when I discovered something quite surprising.

There was a tattoo.

A large tattoo was engraved on Mirna’s back!

It looked like a mark with an X and a cross on the inside of a round pizza crust-shaped border. I also found some writing, which I slowly read aloud.

“Murmur…?”

Weiiing-.

Then, the text engraved on Mirna’s back suddenly began to emit light. At the same time, information entered through my eyes.

「Murmur: Intermediate Curse. Eats away the victim’s vitality, turning them corpse-like. The effect varies depending on the caster’s rank and magic power.」

‘A curse!’

I immediately understood that this thing was the cause of Mirna’s atrocious condition.

Could I erase it?

I put the towel on her back and tried wiping the cursed mark. But at that very moment, Mirna’s body shook with a loud scream.

“Are you okay?”

“What the heII did you do…!? My body, heuuu….”

Did she feel pain when I touched the magic circle? Blood also started dripping from her back.

“Keuuuk!”

As if the pain was getting worse, Mirna gripped the blanket and eventually ripped it.

Jijijik. Jjijijik.

“Ugh-ahh!”

Did I screw it up? Was that why she became like this?

What should I do!?

For a moment, panic filled my head.

But soon, I felt my talent《Calm Thinking》sweep away those perplexing emotions like a cold wave.

And with those thoughts out of the way, what was needed became clear.

It was one of the spells I learned upon entering Ark.

“Belial!”

Belial was a spell that negated the opponent’s magic. According to theory, wouldn’t it be possible to nullify the magic on Mirna’s back?

Crackle, crackle.

In fact, sparks started to go off her back with my spell.

Moreover, Mirna began screaming, “Meorrroorrrooow…!” like a very angry cat in the face of cold water.

Clink!

Then there was a noise akin to the sound of glass breaking. All the while, the ‘tattoo’ on Mirna’s back was erased as if it had just evaporated into nothing. Finally, everything returned to its place, in peace.

* * *

It was about five minutes later when Mirna woke up.

“Hooo….”

Of course, she only came to her senses, and still unable to lift a finger.

“What happened…?”

“I removed the curse drawn on the Lady’s back.”

“Remove…? Curse…?”

I briefly explained the situation to Mirna, who didn’t seem to understand the situation.

After listening to the story, Mirna said, “I see,” before soon realizing that she was naked with only her cute pan?ies left. She then promptly covered herself with the blanket.

I put the dried kelp in a kettle and let it boil.

“Do you feel better now?”

“Still a little lightheaded, but yes. You said that you removed the curse…. It seems you weren’t called the Demon Monk for nothing.”

“I don’t really like that nickname, though.”

“Still, it must have been nothing less than the curse of the Demon King Angmar…. It’s genuinely surprising. I didn’t think you had any other talent other than your tongue.”

Mirna blinked as if she was really surprised that I had lifted the curse that had been engraved on her.

“How did you do it? If it was the magic of the Demon King Angmar, you would only be able to do it if you had extensive knowledge about Dead Language wouldn’t it…?”

Receiving a compliment felt good, but the more she asked about the cause, the closer she would be to uncovering the fact that I was the sole survivor of the Angmar Family…
