As the village’s only bar, the Chimera Tavern was always busy, and today was no exception. Zaza’s stomach had growled the moment she finally stopped crying, so the duke and the others went to the tavern for dinner.

After the back-and-forth with Meikris, the villagers would obviously want to know how Zaza had gotten cursed. However, with the armor destroyed, the curse’s power had dissipated, making it difficult to determine its origin. Meaning they had to come up with a lie.

“Dah hah hah hah hah! You ate mushrooms growing in an ancient mausoleum?! You know you’re not supposed to eat that stuff! Dah hah hah hah hah hah!”

For the time being, they went with her having eaten something she wasn’t supposed to, which was extremely amusing to the heroes who had made their names as adventurers. Judging by their reactions, it was quite the common story among beginners. In fact, it was the most common way to be cursed.

“I-I’m ashamed. Sorry for the trouble I caused...” Zaza looked dejected, so the other villagers offered her some words of consolation.

“You look smart, but you’re surprisingly careless!”

“You learned a good lesson. I had something similar happen to me once!”

“Don’t worry about it! Guess even monks can’t beat curses!”

“Go on, eat up!”

The villagers opened themselves up to her and treated her to a meal. Zaza felt guilty for lying to them. “Teacher...”

“It’s fine. Just a little white lie.” Father Blutgang chastised her softly, since she was sulking.

“Indeed. Sometimes underhanded means are necessary. It’s my treat, so eat up,” said the duke. “The food here is excellent.”

“Thank you...” Zaza muttered.

“What’s with you? Why’d you turn meek and quiet all of a sudden?” asked Father Blutgang.

Zaza hugged her legs to her chest. “Because! Nobody told me the Sacred Black Sword was here!”

The duke and Yoto had revealed their identities on the way to the tavern, and Zaza had been so shocked she completely forgot about her armor and prostrated herself before them. The Song of Bilegga, which described the hero’s battle against the Demon Lord’s army a thousand years ago, had naturally been passed down on Mt. Eirimt as well. She never would have imagined the legendary figure who had given a demonic armament to the founder was friends with her teacher.

Zaza turned to Yoto. “And you’re really the demonic sword, not a goddess? But you’re so cute.”

“It’s true. Of course, now I’m just a maid,” Yoto replied.

“Not a goddess...”

“You really can’t let that go, can you? Though I can’t say I mind.” Yoto was sitting on the duke’s lap, her cowlick happily bouncing and hitting his beard.

“Here, I steamed up those gold trout you guys caught.” Meikris brought over a large plate piled high with steamed golden fish. The duke and the others had given them to her as an apology.

“Wow! Gold trout! We only get to eat them on special occasions!” said Zaza.

“Eat up. It’ll send that curse packing,” said Meikris, placing a special helping of beef stew in front of Yoto, making the maid’s eyes sparkle just like Zaza’s.
