Chapter 44

Marion's Treatment" in English

Darw wagged his tail with all his might, looking delighted when he saw my face.

He stood up and stuck only his nose toward me.

โ€œKiโ€”โ€

I covered Saraโ€™s mouth just as she was about to scream.

It was understandable.

Darw was as big as a horse. To someone unaware, he could look like a wild beast.

โ€œKyukkyukkyu!โ€

At the same time, a small warning cry came from Carro .

The servant had come to peek into the room.

As expected of a top-tier guard, they wouldnโ€™t miss even the briefest scream.

โ€œMo, Sarattara, kyakkya.โ€

I pretended to be having fun playing around.

Sara stared at me, wide-eyed in confusion.

Darw quickly crouched down outside the window to hide.

Seeing my playful demeanor, the servant must have thought the scream was part of the game and returned to their original position.

It was thanks to my incredible acting skills, I thought.

โ€œโ€ฆWeโ€™re safe.โ€
โ€œโ€”!โ€
โ€œSara, that huge dog from earlier is Darw, my friend.โ€
โ€œDarw?โ€

As if he thought he was being called, Darw, who had been hiding beyond the window, poked his face out again.

โ€œYes, this is Darw. Heโ€™s not scary, so itโ€™s okay.โ€
โ€œDarwโ€ฆ I heard about him from Mama.โ€
โ€œYep. Darw is also Marionโ€™s friend.โ€
โ€œReally?โ€

By that time, Darw had once again stuck his nose through the gap in the window.

โ€œHeโ€™s cute, right?โ€
โ€œYeah, Darw is cute.โ€

I felt relieved that Sara seemed to be getting along with Darw.

โ€œDarwโ€ฆ Why are you here?โ€
โ€œSniff sniff.โ€

Darw let out a smug sniff.

He must have chased after me to come here.

No doubt, Darw was going to get scolded later.

When that time came, Iโ€™d get scolded alongside him.

โ€œDarw, you saved us. Thanks for helping.โ€
โ€œSniff.โ€
โ€œLady Rulia?โ€
โ€œRulia needs to meet Marion. Please cooperate.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s contagious! You canโ€™t!โ€
โ€œItโ€™s okay. Rulia is special, so she wonโ€™t catch it.โ€

That was a lie. It was absolutely contagious.

But I figured Sara wouldnโ€™t accept it if I didnโ€™t say that.

โ€œThatโ€™sโ€ฆ amazing.โ€

Sara looked genuinely impressed.

If I said I was approaching Marion to cure her, Sara would likely cooperate willingly.

But if I failedโ€ฆ

The greater her hope, the deeper her despair would be.

It might be a blow she wouldnโ€™t recover from.

I wanted to tell Sara not โ€œI might be able to cure her,โ€ but โ€œI did cure her.โ€

โ€œSara, lie down on the bedding and pretend to nap with Rulia.โ€
โ€œOkay.โ€

Sara wriggled into the musty-smelling futon.

โ€œSara, wait here for a bit, okay?โ€

I slipped out of the window gap and climbed onto Darwโ€™s back.

โ€œDarw, run.โ€
โ€œโ€ฆโ€

Darw silently started running. He was as fast as ever.

I gripped his back fur tightly and clung on.

In almost no time, Darw ran fifty melts.

We quickly reached the cabin where Marion was being quarantined.

At the same time, the guardian birds landed on the roof of the cabin.

โ€œDarw, the window.โ€

I whispered my request softly,

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

Darw silently approached the window and stopped.

He placed his front paws on the windowsill and peered inside.

โ€œThanks, Darw.โ€

I climbed up Darwโ€™s back, perching on his shoulders like a ride, and peeked into the cabin.

Marion was lying on the bed, her eyes closed. She was emaciated, her breathing labored.

Her face was bright red, and there were swollen sores on her face and arms. They were probably all over her body, hidden under her clothes.

But most of all, her entire body was shrouded in a dark miasma.

โ€œโ€ฆAs I thought, itโ€™s a curse.โ€

Yet the guardian birds and Darw were doing nothing.

This meant the one who had cast the curse wasnโ€™t nearby.

It was likely that only the curse remained.

Kuro had told me that I had the power to dispel curses.

I tried to recall something from when I was just born.

โ€œIf I remember correctlyโ€ฆโ€

Memory is vague. After all, itโ€™s from right after I was born.

Normally, one wouldnโ€™t remember such things.

However, perhaps because I have a past life, I remember just a little bit.

โ€œโ€ฆI think it was something like, โ€˜Focus and tell it to go away.'โ€

โ€œMm-hmm.โ€

โ€œIf that doesnโ€™t work, Iโ€™ll break the window. Daru, will you help me then?โ€

โ€œMm-hmm.โ€

If I fail, the only option is to break the window, touch Marion directly to dispel the curse, and use healing magic.

Iโ€™ll probably get scolded a lot, but Marionโ€™s life is more important.

โ€œIโ€™m going.โ€

From outside the hut, I focused on the black mist surrounding Marion and thought, โ€œDisappear!โ€

I prayed with all my might, as strongly as I could.

I felt something leaving my body.

It was the first time I felt that sensation, even through my past life. No, didnโ€™t I feel something similar when I dispelled my motherโ€™s curse right after I was born? But Iโ€™m not sure.

โ€œโ€ฆDid it work?โ€

โ€œMm-hmm.โ€

Daru, too, was peering through the window excitedly, watching Marion.

When I looked inside, the mist that had enveloped Marion was gone.

โ€œDid it work?โ€

Even though the mist was gone, Marionโ€™s face was still red, and the swelling hadnโ€™t healed.

The high fever hadnโ€™t gone down, and her breathing still seemed labored.

โ€œWell, in my past lifeโ€ฆโ€

In my past life, I used healing magic on groups of people from a distance.

I probably canโ€™t use the same level of power, but it would be good if I could do something similar.

โ€œSpirits, lend me your power.โ€

When I asked, the many young spirits around me lent their magic.

โ€œLeave it to me.โ€

Kuro suddenly appeared from the ground, lending a large amount of magic.

โ€œThank you.โ€

I used that magic to cast healing magic on Marion through the wall.

โ€œItโ€™s a success. Sheโ€™ll be fine now.โ€

โ€œKuro, whyโ€”โ€

Why are you here? Why didnโ€™t you tell me it was a curse?

I wanted to ask a lot of things, butโ€ฆ

โ€œWeโ€™ll talk more later. There are people around.โ€

Kuro interrupted my questions and vanished.

I looked around. I didnโ€™t think anyone was watching.

But I donโ€™t know when someone might come.

And since Kuro said it was a success, I believe Marion will be fine.

I prayed, trusting that.

โ€œI hope Marion gets better. Sara is waiting for you.โ€

After using the healing magic, I felt a little tired.

It was different from my past life, and I felt like something had left me.

In my past life, I was tired after using magic, but I never felt like something left me.

โ€œIt really canโ€™t be like it was in my past life, huh?โ€

โ€œAh?โ€

Just to be sure, I peeked through the window again, and Marionโ€™s complexion had returned to normal, and the swelling was gone.

Her fever had gone down, and her breathing seemed easier.

The swelling in her throat had probably healed as well.

โ€œNow, itโ€™s okay. Kuro, Spirits, thank you.โ€

Now, if Marion just eats proper food, sheโ€™ll be fine.

I canโ€™t trust the baron, so Iโ€™ll ask my mother to send Marion some nutritious food.

โ€œMarion, see you later. The birds will look out for you too, okay?โ€

Then, I asked Daru to take me back to Saraโ€™s room.

A couple of birds stayed on the roof of the hut.

Now, if any curse-caster comes back, weโ€™ll be safe.

Once I felt at ease, I became sleepy, and my stomach also growled.

I climbed over the window frame and returned to Saraโ€™s room.

โ€œLady Luriaโ€ฆ Whereโ€™s Mama?โ€

โ€œMarion will be fine. Sheโ€™ll get better soon.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆEhe.โ€

Sara smiled happily, trusting my words without a second thought.

โ€œThatโ€™s why itโ€™s okay.โ€

โ€œYeah, thatโ€™s good.โ€

โ€œCan I write a letter later? If so, I can give it to Marion.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆSaraโ€ฆ you canโ€™t write yet.โ€

At five years old, itโ€™s understandable she canโ€™t write yet.

โ€œThen Iโ€™ll teach you. As your older sister.โ€

Thatโ€™s right, I am like an older sister to Sara.

As an older sister, itโ€™s natural for me to teach her how to read and write.

โ€œPeep!โ€

While Sara and I were talking, Daru, probably feeling lonely, pushed his nose into the window gap with a snort.

โ€œThank you, Daru. You helped me.โ€

I said my thanks and patted Daru.

โ€œHa-ha.โ€

Daru wagged his tail happily.

โ€œSara wants to pet him too.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s so big!โ€

Sara petted Daruโ€™s nose.

She petted Daruโ€™s big, black, flat nose with pride.

Daru probably doesnโ€™t like having his nose petted.

But he endured it, letting her pet him.

โ€œโ€ฆDaru. Maybe we should go back home soon?โ€

โ€œMm-hmm?โ€

โ€œIf itโ€™s found out that we came here, weโ€™ll get scolded.โ€

โ€œUgh!โ€

Hearing that we might get scolded, Daru suddenly realized the possibility and flinched.

โ€œYou didnโ€™t realize?โ€

โ€œPeep.โ€

โ€œDaru, did you run away during your walk? If so, the servant who lost you is probably in trouble too.โ€

โ€œKyoon.โ€

โ€œLetโ€™s apologize together later, okay?โ€

โ€œPeep~.โ€

Daru snorted and acted spoiled.

At that moment, โ€œKyuk-kyuk!โ€ Carro  made a warning sound.

Almost at the same timeโ€ฆ

โ€œOh? Did Daru come?โ€

Mom entered the room.

Mom, holding Carro , who had been on alert, walked toward me.

โ€œKyoo.โ€

Carro  looked down, probably feeling a little sad.

She probably regretted not making the warning sound earlier.

โ€œBustedโ€ฆโ€

โ€œUgh.โ€

Sara quickly hid behind me. Sheโ€™s still shy.

โ€œWow.โ€

The moment Daru saw Mom, he hurriedly hid behind the window.

But it was too late.

โ€œGoodness. Daruโ€ฆโ€

Mom walked straight to the window and peered underneath it.

When I looked down with her, I saw Daru lying on his back, in a submissive pose.

โ€œDaru. You understand you did something wrong, right?โ€

โ€œMom! Itโ€™s Luriaโ€™s fault. Daru just came because he was worried about Luria!โ€

โ€œI understand, Luria.โ€

Mom patted me, then spoke to Daru outside the window.

โ€œDaru, letโ€™s go home together when we leave. For now, stay and wait here.โ€

โ€œWuff?โ€

Daru stood up and wagged his tail. He probably thought he was forgiven.

โ€œDaru, the scolding will happen when we get home.โ€

โ€œKyoon.โ€

โ€œWe canโ€™t scold a dog right away, but Daru is smart, so it can wait, right?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆKyoon.โ€

Daru tucked his tail between his legs.

โ€œYouโ€™re probably worried, so Iโ€™ll let the mansion know that youโ€™re here. Iโ€™ll take you home.โ€

โ€œUnderstood.โ€

Mom gave instructions to a servant, then crouched down to talk to Sara, who was still hiding behind me.

โ€œSara, would you like to come to our mansion?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆTo your mansion?โ€

โ€œYes, to Luriaโ€™s and our mansion.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆButโ€ฆโ€

Sara tightly gripped her animal ears.

โ€œDonโ€™t worry. The baron gave his permission.โ€

Saying that, Mom gently patted Saraโ€™s head and smiled warmly.

It was a completely different kind of smile from the one sheโ€™d shown to the baron and the maid earlier.
