I whipped around to find a goddess standing there in the form of a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. With her impassive face and frilly dress, she almost looked like a porcelain doll... Hopefully she wouldn’t find my impression offensive. Based on what I’d been told before, she was either Manoailoa or Meltrize. “Nice to—”

“I am Meltrize, the Goddess of Death and Sleep. Nice to meet you.”

“The pleasure is mine.”

“I’ll explain the situation,” Meltrize started.

“Wait a minute. You guys haven’t met before,” Tekun pointed out.

“You have to make better introductions than that,” Kufo said.

“I have already been given information about him,” Meltrize countered. “He cannot stay here much longer. Discussing the matter at hand should take priority.”

Tekun and Kufo fell silent, but I guessed they were still arguing by communicating in a way that I couldn’t hear. I was already starting to get a picture of Meltrize’s character. I’d had members on my team who always spoke too directly and others mistook their brevity for rudeness. As much as I was careful about it, I had a habit of being too direct myself. My intense facial features had made any directness on my part come across as defiance to those above me and as overbearing to those below me. I felt a kindred spirit in Meltrize.

“I don’t need to watch my words as you do,” Meltrize said, “because I have no one to offend. But your impression is accurate, for the most part.” Apparently, she’d heard my silent thoughts. “It’s fine. You did not offend me.”

“I’m glad I didn’t.”

“Let’s continue,” she said.

“I’ll explain the curse on you, Ryoma. First of all, it hasn’t been broken yet,” Gain said, as if the words left a bitter taste in his mouth, although he was calm enough that the situation didn’t seem too dire. “What complicates the matter is that a portion of the demon lord fragment has slithered into your soul through the curse...like a parasite. Whatever shred of the demon lord remains has no mind, but seems to have acted on instinct out of self-preservation. I could have removed the curse and the demon lord fragment from you entirely, but that would have strained your soul. So, I only removed a portion of it and contained the curse that remains. By repeating this process regularly, the curse and fragment can be removed without an issue. It may be a bit of an inconvenience, but I’d like you to come here on a regular basis. The schedule can be adjusted... But I think a good starting point would be for you to come once a month over the next year.”

“Like going to see a doctor? I have no problem with that,” I said. “I’m the one inconveniencing you, if anything. Thank you for doing this for me.”

“As far as I can tell, it won’t damage your health in any way... But I’d like you to be careful of some things until the curse is broken,” Gain said. Treatment of an illness usually came with restrictions, so I was ready to follow the doctor’s orders.
