* *Yes. You're the one with the memorable face. You used the Butterfly's sword technique during the entrance ceremony, didn't you?*
* *Seems like you're quite confused. Just tell me your questions in the order you're curious about.*
* *My original age is over eighty. This is my office Sepharachio. It's a room where curses can't fly out. And the reason I'm dressed like this, wearing ill-fitting clothes, is that I turn back into an adult's body when the sun sets.*
* *Sorry for bringing you here in such a strange manner. It was unavoidable due to Sepharachio's nature. We had to make the route as complex as possible so the curse wouldn't escape.*
* *I'm Professor Sekreet, who handles the curses and blessings subject. I'm pleased to finally see the sanctity of the martial arts department, which I've only heard rumors about.*
* *I understand what you're thinking, but you can relax. I'm not intentionally doing any blessings. Each of these curses has its own unique appeal.*
* *Yes. Just as old as fire or prostitution...this is quite interesting.*
* *Wait and see. It requires analysis. Most of these curses are unheard of.*
* *But your body now carries ten curses. And all of them are powerful curses. I have no idea how you've managed to survive with them all.*
* *Given the circumstances, it can't be helped. If my interpretation of the copper curses is correct...you won't be able to handle the natural state of mana. It's beyond sight.*
* *Ordinarily, I would assert that there's no curse that can't be lifted. But this time, I can't be sure. Most of these curses are unknown. Maybe, even if it's possible, extensive research would be needed.*
* *The method we're going to attempt now is a curse-breaking method that I've developed. There might be a side effect where your consciousness gets damaged if it fails, but one effect is certain.*
* *Normally, curses and blessings come with risks. But with your strong martial powers, you should be okay. I will create an imaginary world within your consciousness, where I'll project one of the copper curses that afflicts you.*
* *In that world, you just have to break the curse that binds you. You might experience it as a vivid dream. Maybe due to the Cursed eye, one of the copper curses was significantly weakened.*

Chapter 44: Please (3)

* *She insisted on waiting even though she could've gone ahead. If it wasn't for this child, we couldn't have cast the Spell so easily. Treat her to something delicious later.*
* *It must have been tough, and I'm grateful you managed it well. You shouted so many times, even cried. It's a common occurrence during the Spell, but I found myself worrying needlessly.*
* *Don't mention it. I merely untangled a knot that was already there.*
* *Yes. It was pitch black, so I can't recall much of the distant past, but...when I first succeeded in sensitivity, I perceived mana in that form. Congratulations.*
* *It's an unprecedented occurrence. The imaginary worlds arising from curses take various forms, but they share a common factor. The protagonist navigating those worlds is none other than the cursed individual themselves.*
* *So, to summarize, you couldn't see what your father looked like, you couldn't hear his voice, yet you could feel his emotions quite distinctly. Furthermore, you witnessed a scene where the shadow in the form of your father cursed you as a newborn baby?*
* *Yes, that's right. It matches your symptoms as well. If the one who cursed you was your father, then the story is quite convincing. To erase the fact that he cursed you and his identity, it's likely that your memories were sealed.*
* *I don't know either. Understanding the thoughts of someone who curses their child with ten curses is quite difficult.*
