Renoir has begun to talk about her circ.u.mstances little by little.

「I’m hated by everybody…… That’s why, desu. I’m…… bringing misfortune to the people around me…… desu. Therefore, in reality, Miss Lexa, Mr. Sou…… It’s not good to stay together with me! To be able to ordinarily talk with two people makes me happy. I’m the worst…… desu.」(Runoir)

「Runo-chan, calm down. That’s a bulls.h.i.t reason to dislike you! I’ll send any misfortune flying, right Sou?」(Lexa)

Lexa is really humane. One can yearn to be like her.

Seriously, I can’t hate Runoir yet. I just met her. She is such a beautiful catgirl, but has such a stiff look on her face. There is probably a good reason for that. If I see the guy how made her have such a sad face, I smack him with the goblin club.

「Of course. A Cat gi…… It’s impossible to hate Runoir. Lexa is way too narrow-minded to hate you.」(Sou)

「The second half was unnecessary!  There was no need to break the serious air!」(Lexa)

「Hihi, to be able to meet you two is really good…… desu. Sou-san, did you change the atmosphere to a calmer state on purpose….. desu?」(Runoir)

「….. Sort of.」(Sou)

「Was it!? I’m sorry, my remark was kind of stupid. It’s because you made that joke with a poker-face.」(Runoir)

I’m misunderstood! I only wanted to break the serious atmosphere with a poor joke. I can’t say that I was making a serious joke now. I’ll take it to my grave.

「No, that’s okay. My expressionless face is the reason that this tragedy happened. Let’s forgive each other and move on.」(Sou)

「Okay….. But please consider the place next time… (He’s cool!) 」(Runoir)

What did you say at the end?

Well, whatever.

That’s not the problem. The problem is with Runoir.

「Runoir, do you know the cause of your misfortune?」(Sou)

「When I…… from the moment I got a certain t.i.tle, my luck became extremely low…… desu. It’s called “Unfortunate”……」(Runoir)

The moment Runoir begun talking about her t.i.tle she looks really sad.

「Did the misfortune begun because of the “Unfortunate”-t.i.tle?」(Sou)

「Yes, the moment I got the t.i.tle…… my luck was reduced by 10…… desu. My luck is only 5 at the moment……」(Runoir)

After all it seems to be certain that her luck fell down because of the t.i.tle. When I looked at her status it seems to unnatural.

「5!? That’s unbelievable! To get -10……」(Lexa)

「I wonder, Runoir. Do you remember how you got the t.i.tle?」(Sou)

「Yes, 3 years ago, the demon king…… after walking into the line of sight of his demon eyes…… desu.」(Runoir)

「「!?」」(Lexa & Sou)

Lexa and I found no words to say. We never expected to hear about the demon king at this point. Lexa looks different than usual.

「It was his demon eyes!? It’s a characteristic of demon eyes! I never heard about a demon king on this continent? Where did you met him, Runo-chan?」(Lexa)

「In a dungeon of a graveyard in the holy country Gurabatos desu…… The demon king was surrounded by a black aura I discovered him…… desu.」(Runoir)

Huh, are the people of this world cla.s.sifying someone as the demon king by his dark aura? That’s easy to understand.

But it’s not like there is no harm. It’s unfortunate that you encounter such misfortune if you met him, but at least there is no physical harm. Does the great demon king has such an aura? And where lies the holy country Gurabatos…? The way the conversation is going it’ll be talked about.

Well, after using 〈Identify〉certain Information flow into my head.

『Demon King』

The person who got the demon king t.i.tle will be taken over by abnormal malice and even his appearance changes. Wherever the demon kings walks all vegetation will wither by his dark red aura. This indicates the pure evilness of his aura. The demon king that appeared 1000 years ago was overthrown by a brave hero under unknown circ.u.mstances.

『Holy Country Gurabatos』

The country is approximately 1000km northeast of the Garuzo Kingdom and rules at least twice as much territory. As a country that is worshiping only one G.o.d it has a high number of believers.

『Demon Eyes』

A kind of special ability. These eyes harms others if they are looking into it. They are different kind of demon eyes and some are so strong that they can lower the numerical value of a random stat substantially. The abnormal status inflicted by the demon eyes will stay as long as the owner of the demon eyes is not subjugated.

Thank you very much! 〈Identify〉-sensei!

Moreover, the information was adjusted to the standards of this country! What a wonderful special ability. As long as I have this, I can become a doctor of everything!

Well, the demon eyes are troublesome. I should better think about a countermeasure for these eyes. Possibly, I need to increase my special abilities.

The demon king Runoir encountered should have strong demon eyes. After her Luck decreased the “Unfortunate” t.i.tle was stuck on her. After this, I should have in-depth knowledge of the “Unfortunate” t.i.tle, but……

「Is Runo-chan from Gurabatos?」(Lexa)

「Yes, I’m from a small village there…… desu. I lived there until I was 11 years old, but I was thrown out. My surroundings got unfortunate after my encounter in the dungeon…… desu.」(Runoir)

「No way…… And to not influence other people with your bad luck, you acted alone for 3 years?」(Lexa)

「Yes, but for some reasons bad things doesn’t happen so much in the night…… For this reason, just today, to have a break, I came to eat out after a long time…… desu」(Runoir)

「Sou! I can’t leave Runo-chan alone! Can’t we do anything?」(Lexa)

I want to do something too, but it’s too big of a task for me……

「Lexa, calm down a little. And Runoir, why do you go to a dangerous dungeon at such a young age?」(Sou)

That place is a matter of concern after all. I don’t think that a child would do something like that on its own.

「For the people of this village a black cat is a sign of bad luck and they are often forced into the dungeon…… Because my mother and father died early, there was no one to stop them either…… desu.」(Runoir)

「Wait a second, that’s cruel.」(Sou)

「What the h.e.l.l! I would send a village like that flying!」(Lexa)

And once more, the things Lexa wants to send flying increased. But I agree! To treat such a lovely cat-girl so awful. Aren’t black cat-girls the best! Why can’t these villagers not understand that!

However, did this treatment occur before she got the t.i.tle? How can the village throw an 11 year old child into a dungeon…… Even though there was a similar way of thinking in j.a.pan, but it was a mere superst.i.tion and there wasn’t a person who seriously believed that. Maybe, the holy country is the cause of all this.

I used 〈Identify〉on Runoir once again and this time the details of “Unfortunate” appeared for some reason this time too.

『Unfortunate』

A t.i.tle acquired if the numerical value of Luck became five or less. Including the person, the surroundings are tend to be unfortunate. The effect weakens during the night. Additional, the misfortune is largely reduced if being accompanied by a person with good luck.

It’s not only a disadvantage! This t.i.tle is really crazy!

But why was I able to see it with 〈Identify〉this time?

No, let’s think about it later. I have to tell Runoir of this things first.

「Ahem, Runoir.」(Sou)

「What…… desu?」(Runoir)

As I start speaking Runoir is tilting her head to one side. Cat ears are just too cute! Cat ears I say!

That’s not the topic now…….

「It would be better for Runoir if she is together with me.」(Sou)

「………Eh? A-A-Are you c-confessing…… desu?」(Runoir)

「Y-Y-Y-You are proposing just like that!」(Lexa)

While staring at Sou, Runoirs face got deep red like a boiled octopus and her brain short-circuited on the spot. Anyone would behave like that if a male with a charm value of 60 says something like that with a straight face.

Sous first foul play was having such a high charm value.

On the other hand, Lexa threw a panicked tsutsukomi right after Sous proposal. As one would expect.

Because of the lack of explanation, this fatal event occurred.

Of course, the one responsible for this is Sou.
