Chapter 27

I got scared.

To be honest, if it weren't for my friends, I would have screamed and panicked.

I don't know what time it was, but I was sound asleep when suddenly there was a huge noise.

I jumped out of bed.

Scaredy-cat?

Anyone would have jumped out of bed.

In the quiet of the night, when you're tired and sleeping, if a loud noise suddenly rings out, anyone would get scared.

So I'm not a scaredy-cat!

It's kind of futile to comfort myself.

In the past, my sister would genuinely mock me, and I wouldn't have time to feel down...

Thinking about it made me angry.

Revival.

First, take a deep breath and check.

What happened.

Go outside and check.

...

It's night, can't see anything.

I waited for a while, but nothing happened.

I'll wait a bit longer.

I'm sleepy.

Checking tomorrow will probably be fine.

I'm tired from working on the house today.

I failed at processing the leather again.

...

There's a problem.

It's due to a curse.

There's a faint shadow within the barrier.

I got irritated the moment I saw it.

Moreover, the baby spiders saw the shadow and fled home in a hurry.

I'm irritated that they scared my companions.

... Take a deep breath.

Calm down, calm down.

First, let's purify the shadow within the barrier.

I'll strengthen the barrier while I'm at it.

... I want to expand the area to be purified.

There's a lake, I want to eat fish, even river fish would do.

Cursed?

If I see it every day, I'll get used to it, and purifying it should be fine.

I can now sense magic, so I'll connect the magic from the rock mountain to the lake.

It's quite far, maybe too far?

I have to try.

Expand the magic to the left and right,

and seep it into the ground, seep it in.

Quite deep, gradually.

Ultimately, the magic flows in a huge circle around the rock mountain and the lake.

The magic seeps deep, very deep, below that circle.

Now, let's purify thoroughly.

Imagine the mold in a bathtub.

Imagine a mold remover gradually removing the stubborn black mold.

Mold is so persistent.

I used to struggle with the bathroom during the year-end cleaning.

Also, I need to return what I received.

I'll return the curse I received.

"Purify"

Next, the barrier.

There's no problem with the barrier on the ground, but I found a problem with the underground barrier.

The curse is seeping in through the water.

I imagined an oil filter.

A charcoal filter that my mother was impressed with.

I stacked three of them to strengthen it.

Should I have used five?

The gathered curses should be returned.

Yeah, I'll return them to the owner once a day.

Maybe I'll add a bit of color.

I only returned the purification, which was a mistake.

I need to make sure to return them properly.

"Barrier"

It's a refreshing morning today.
