Because of the head butler’s injury, the loss of Tea—whose limitless stamina had allowed her to accomplish a great deal—and the search party that was deployed to find Arnette, a ton of work piled up which caused great turmoil among the remaining retainers of House Halsberg.

Thus, thanks to the tiger maid’s actions, the people who had treated Caim poorly received their just deserts—even though she hadn’t planned it that way. Sadly, Tea would never learn about all that had happened.

“Hey, have you heard? The cursed child’s finally been expelled!”

“At long last, the lord has forsaken him! Ha ha, let’s have a banquet tonight!”

The villagers all cheered when they heard that Caim had left the Halsberg domain, though they didn’t know that he had done so on his own initiative—instead, it was announced that Kevin had been the one to drive him out. The villagers’ faces were twisted into ugly grins as they imagined how the cursed child might look now that he was exiled.

“I was so anxious living near a monster like him!”

“I’m so relieved I won’t have to look at his eerie marks anymore!”

“Yes, I’m glad he didn’t infect the other children. He was so disgusting.”

The villagers kept on bad-mouthing Caim. They had been the ones who’d abused him, but from their point of view, they were the victims—after all, they were the ones who’d had to deal with the presence of a cursed child. Humans were creatures who shunned and rejected anyone they saw as different—and that was even more true in an insular village like this one. They never even wondered if Caim was truly dangerous; they only persecuted him for their own peace of mind.

Suddenly, one of the villagers said, “By the way, I spotted a wolf near the forest’s entrance this morning. It’s been a while since I saw one of those.”

The others tilted their heads thoughtfully.

“You’re right,” another villager replied. “It’s been, what, a year? Since we’ve seen a wolf or a bear.”

“Yeah, same for monsters. It’s kinda weird, considering how often they used to show up.”

Not a single beast or monster had approached the village for the past year. The reason for that was that Caim, cursed by the Poison Queen, had been living in the forest. Animals and monsters could detect the toxins his body emitted thanks to their sharper senses, so they’d hidden deep in the forest to avoid him out of fear.

“Supposedly, there was even a stampede a few days ago, but nothing serious happened.”

“I’m sure our lord did something about it. Taking care of something like that should be a cinch for the Master Pugilist!”

“Indeed—our village will be fine as long as Lord Kevin governs us. No need to worry about a mere wolf.”

The villagers smiled cheerfully, paying no mind to the wolf’s sudden appearance. Their smiles, however, would be short lived. The one who’d been protecting the village was no longer there, after all.

Caim might have exterminated the stampede, but it would only provide a brief respite until other monsters from somewhere else would come to repopulate the now vacant area.
