“Secret art! Agricultural Backhoe!”

Merthophan burst in, loincloth and all, and a swift chop to the back of Renge’s neck took her down. All jaws dropped, everyone wondering what about that move involved farmwork or why it required this attire.

Oblivious to the stares, the intruder adjusted his loincloth, looking extremely satisfied.

“Anyone have a rope? Too risky to leave her free like this.”

The shoulder of Rol’s kimono had come loose in the fall, but she didn’t even attempt to fix it. Instead, she ordered someone to fetch restraints.

They soon had Renge’s unconscious body tied up, and Merthophan let out a sigh of relief.

“I was inspecting the castle storerooms when I heard Allan had escaped her lecture and that Renge had been chasing him all night long. The situation sounded a lot like the symptoms of this curse, so I figured I should check it out. I stripped and headed out in search of Renge.”

Smoothly slipping the word “stripped” into innocuous exposition forced everyone to control their impulse to overreact. Merthophan never noticed.

“Hmm,” he grunted. “If this really is the fault of that curse, it’s worse than I thought. The wrong person affected could well become a deadly weapon. Good thing she was only focused on Allan.”

No one was tempted to react to that assertion. If he’d been awake, that would have given Allan extra cause to weep.

“Don’t worry, ex-Colonel Merthophan, not many people are as skilled as Renge.”

“Micona, don’t jinx us,” Riho hissed.

“And! If there are! I, Micona Zol, head of the Azami Military Academy second-years! Will handle things. The demon lord Abaddon gave me the jumping strength of locusts and the power of flight! The treant roots are highly flexible. I can stop anyone!”

Oh, she was just making a pitch. Leading with demon lord powers was a dubious choice, though.

“……So obvious,” Phyllo muttered.

Without further ado, it was time to call in that jinx.

Tnk tnk tnk—slam!

Sliding headfirst into the room was…the king of Rokujou, Sardin Valyl-Tyrosine.

“Hey, everybody!” he said, sweeping his hair back. “It’s your—wait, we don’t have time for cheery greetings! Help!”

Lloyd ran up to him. “What’s wrong, Your Majesty?”

“Oh! Lloyd…and Phyllo! Salvation! Actually, I’m pretty lost myself.”

But even as Sardin reached for Lloyd, a knife landed inches from his face.

“Eep!”

“Er, what? A knife?!”

Lloyd turned his eyes toward the source. Finding…

“! !!”

…Sardin’s wife, Ubi. Normally very quiet—now screaming so loudly, it didn’t even form a sound.

“Ubi?!”

“……Mom?”

She paid their shock no heed—as if her eyes were only on Sardin.

“You and your dumb act! Are you actually that stupid?! You used to have your shit together! I get that it’s part of your public image now, but spare a thought for the people with you! Are you even…?!”

The stress of daily life had built up and was powering this Gatling gun of reasonable complaints—possibly more of a carpet bombing.

“She’s been like this all morning! I thought she was a bit off yesterday, but before I knew it, she’d turned into a total manic! Is this the thing?! The curse?!”

“Hi-yah!”

“Eeeek!”

Ubi had thrown another knife. Sardin was stuck to the floor like an insect, hereby dubbed The Scared Man.
