[It sounds like something like this is about to happen to you. Since you asked such a question, you should have a certain understanding of the curse - the curse is difficult to detect before it is activated. Well, although this is not difficult for Betty -]

[Then, if the curse is activated, can you remove it? ! ]

[A small matter can cause one to fall to death~]

[Ohhhhhh! As expected of Beatrice! So reliable! ]

Natsuki Subaru excitedly pounded the floor twice.

Although Beatrice seemed indifferent to Natsuki Subaru's words on the surface, she actually benefited greatly from them psychologically.

Beatrice pulled the ears of the strange-looking rabbit-shaped doll twice, then put the doll in her arms and said: "Anything else? Ask it all at once. Betty doesn't want to see your stupid face anymore."

[Oh! There is another question! ]

Natsuki Subaru quickly became serious.

[Is there any magic or curse that can allow a person to suddenly gain the ability to manipulate fire? ]

Natsuki Subaru suddenly seemed to remember something and gestured with his hands:

[It's not just a simple fireball or sparks, it's a really big fire like a fire! Is it possible for an ordinary person to suddenly gain this ability? ]

[…It’s possible that you might fall to your death. ]

Chapter 146: Witch Cult.

Through Beatrice's description, Natsuki Subaru gradually deepened his understanding of this world.

This different world is not the traditional fantasy world that Natsuki Subaru is most familiar with - that is, the world that those crudely made template different world reincarnation novels like to describe.

In those worlds, in order to facilitate readers' understanding and authors' conception, a magic system with six attributes of earth, water, wind, fire, light and darkness is usually designed. In addition to magic, fighting spirit is also introduced to meet the standard configuration of magicians and knights.

But this world is different.

Although the magic system is still earth, water, wind, fire + light and darkness, but "light and darkness" has been changed to "yin and yang", this world not only conducts in-depth research on the nature of magic attributes, so that magic of a single attribute can show completely different effects in the hands of different people, but also has a self-contained theory of the origin of magic.

This one point alone far surpasses the settings of those template alien world's four elemental elves, but the richness of this world is more than that.

Beyond magic, there are more idealistic and dangerous curses. Beyond curses and magic, there is also a power called "protection".

The power of the blessing comes from the world. The world's favor for a person is manifested in the form of "blessing". To outsiders, it seems that the person who is favored has suddenly gained a superpower.

The powers of the protection are varied and all-encompassing. They can enhance a person's strength, allow a person to gain stronger benefits in certain weather conditions, or allow a person to summon countless spears out of thin air.

If it was a divine protection, then it would be possible for a person to suddenly awaken the power of fire without any warning - Beatrice said so.

[Is this really the case? I feel like something is wrong.]

If we really want to regard Kotori's death at the end of last weekend as a sign of her awakening of the divine protection, firstly, it cannot explain why Kotori suddenly went berserk and killed other people. Secondly, as an explanation for the incident, the period was a bit too coincidental.

[Could it be that Kago is some kind of miraculous power that is suddenly bestowed upon the person at a critical moment?]

[How could there be such a good thing? ]

[That’s what I mean~]

Natsuki Subaru dragged out a long sound. Beatrice saw him like this, although another possibility flashed through her mind, but thinking of the probability of that possibility and its meaning, Beatrice finally closed her mouth.

But her behavior made Natsuki Subaru see other possibilities.

[Beicuizi, you do know other methods, right? Please! Please tell me! ]

Natsuki Subaru clasped his hands together and raised them above his head. He really needed to understand what had happened at that time.

Beatrice hesitated for a moment, and finally, perhaps because she didn't want to start something without finishing it, she frowned and explained:

[There is indeed a possibility of falling to death~]

Kurt Karsten: How come?

Natsuki Subaru: What? Isn't Miss Crusch a duke? Don't you even know what the possibility is?

Crusch Karsten: ...After the initial surprise, I had my own guesses about what Beatrice-sama wanted to say, but I have to admit that in terms of in-depth exploration and understanding of this world, we humans are still lacking compared to the great elves.

Anastasia Hesin: This is already considered a world secret. Through this mysterious light curtain, everyone in the world can see it. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Natsuki Subaru: It is a good thing to let people know more, right? Do you agree that people can be made to do what they want, but they cannot be made to know what they want? That is feudalism! It is a helpless compromise under the condition of insufficient productivity!

Natsuki Kenichi: Subaru, when did you start saying these things?

Natsuki Subaru: Actually, sometimes I would confront the “Light Friends” from the neighboring countries…

Anastasia Hessin: No wonder you can speak so succinctly and powerfully—

Natsuki Subaru: What?! You only know how to look down on others! I don't think anyone will follow you, right?! Because you are only good at talking!

Anastasia Hesin: Shout as much as you want~, your favorite master is not even good at talking~

Natsuki Subaru: What did you say? You can only change the subject! I don't think you can answer my question at all?

Anastasia Hessin: Your question? Sorry, it's so stupid, I didn't really realize it was a question.

Natsuki Subaru: You are just stubborn!

Natsuki Nahoko: Subaru!

Anastasia Hesin: What was just played on the light screen, if Lady Beatrice, in a light screen as stupid as you, asked you about the conditions for awakening the protection unscrupulously, and answered not "yes" - that is, the protection would not awaken just because the person involved was in a dangerous state or under extreme emotions, can you imagine what would happen to this world?

Natsuki Subaru: ...What?

Natsuki Kenichi: Countless young people, even frustrated middle-aged and elderly people, are willing to risk their lives for a chance to possess extraordinary power and change their social status to a great extent. In other words, the number of injured and dead will increase to the number of people who encounter traffic accidents every year.

Anastasia Hesin: Why don't you learn more from your father?

Natsuki Subaru: --Damn it!!

If Natsuki Subaru inside the light curtain heard these words, his defense would also be broken along with himself outside the light curtain.

Although he was the son of that man, he did not inherit any of his intelligence and wisdom - being the son of a genius but a talentless person, this was what Natsuki Subaru was most concerned about before the light screen was broadcast.

Fortunately, he couldn't hear Anastasia's comments through the light curtain.

He just looked at Beatrice intently, hoping to get the final answer to the question from her - after the previous possibilities did not quite fit the actual situation, he almost regarded the remaining possibility as the truth of the matter.

Beatrice said to Natsuki Subaru in his expectant eyes: [...There is another possibility, that is, he has obtained the power. ]

【power?】

This doesn't sound like a word used to describe people, but more like a word used to describe gods in light novels.

The actual situation is pretty much the same.

[Witch——The Witch of Jealousy who once destroyed half of the world, her ability is power. In fact, power is not unique to the Witch of Jealousy. Anyone who possesses the witch gene may awaken the power of power. Conversely, if attacked or blessed by power, then a person may suddenly awaken strange powers and change his temperament at the same time as you said.]

[I see~, is this really the case?! ]

Natsuki Subaru thought he had the answer, but Beatrice poured cold water on him.

[The Witch Factor is not something that everyone possesses. The Witch Factors now should all be concentrated in the hands of the Witch Cult.]

[Witch Cult? In other words, the Beast Master and the Intestine Hunter are both members of the Witch Cult?! ]

[Betty doesn't know who those two names you mentioned are, but they can't be from the Witch Cult.]

【Why?! 】

[Because, if you really met someone from the Witch Cult, you wouldn’t be here now—you would have died a long time ago~]

Chapter 147 The first step towards touching a mine.

The word "death" from Beatrice's mouth did not scare Natsuki Subaru.

Because he had really died once, he was more convinced that he died in the previous round because of an attack by members of the Witch Cult.

But just when he wanted to ask Beatrice what kind of organization the Witch Cult was, perhaps because she was annoyed by his questions, Beatrice suddenly said that she didn't want to talk.

After Natsuki Subaru annoyed Beatrice with his persistent pestering, Beatrice used magic to blow him out of the room. When he opened the door of a nearby room again, it was no longer the library.

This means that Beatrice didn't want to see herself and took the initiative to manipulate the magic of the "Random Door".

【hateful! 】

Natsuki Subaru pounded his fist unwillingly and could only go back to sleep.

The next morning, when I still wanted to continue my unfinished text learning, unlike last time, it was Rem who came closer to me!

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat happy. After all, in his opinion, Rem was much easier to get along with than Ram.

I'm not a sharp-tongued person...well, I can be a little sharp-tongued sometimes.

The key is that most of the time she looks like a perfect maid. Not only does she look cute, but she also has big breasts. She can do everything well. She is simply the maid character that only appears in the dreams of otakus.

The other party took time out during the day to teach him how to read and write. Perhaps because of the different division of labor in the work, Rem said that she had no time at night.

Natsuki Subaru felt a little strange: the other party had clearly taught the children in the evening last weekend, but at the same time he felt that to some extent, it was unavoidable for a young and beautiful maid to be unwilling to share the evening time with a beastly opposite sex of the same age.

Rem did the right thing in this regard!

Subaru Natsuki easily found an excuse for Rem's inconsistent behavior. At the same time, he asked Rem, who was teaching him seriously in a soft voice:

[Rem, do you know the Witch Cult? ]

【…】

[Ugh?! Why did I suddenly get a big chill? Is it because of the climate here? Speaking of Rem? Rem, what’s wrong with you? ]

Natsuki Subaru asked as he looked at Rem who suddenly stopped moving.

[Ah~, I get it! You're feeling sick, right? It's okay~, don't be shy! I'm a very gentle and considerate man, if you want to go to the bathroom, just tell me! You don't have to hold it in~]

Nayuki Nahoko: 486, I have a lot to say to you~

Natsuki Subaru: Well, for example?

Nazuki Nahoko: For example, how to talk to girls and how to treat girls gently~

Natsuki Subaru: Isn't this the same thing!

[Nothing - why does Mr. Natsuki want to know about the Witch Cult? ]

[Nothing, I just thought I would run into them one day, so I wanted to learn about their situation in advance. ]

[Is that so... But Rem doesn't know much about the Witch Cult, I'm very sorry. ]

[Is that so?]

Natsuki Subaru didn't pay much attention to Rem's words.

If she doesn't know, then she doesn't know. Rem is definitely not the only one in the world who doesn't know about the Witch's Cult. He himself is one of them, so naturally he didn't notice the incongruity when Rem said that she didn't know about the Witch's Cult.

The beast masters and intestine hunters will attack the mansion in a few days. Every day before that is precious because night is not a good time to act.

Even so, Natsuki Subaru still took some time to find Emilia. He thought this was the best way to gather his experience. At the same time, he could also ask Emilia about the news of the Witch Cult that Rem didn't know.

After hearing about Natsuki Subaru's problem, Emilia showed more obvious abnormality than Rem.

[Why does Subaru want to know about the Witch Cult? ]

[It's better to take precautions before it happens, right? I think we will have to confront the Witch Cult sooner or later, and before that I want to get some information about this organization. ]

「Yeah, that’s right~」

Emilia was relieved after pondering for a while. What Natsuki Subaru said about the Witch Cult was right. As long as she was still alive, Emilia's camp would confront them sooner or later.

It would be a good idea to let Subaru Natsuki know about the Witch Cult before that. Although Emilia instinctively resisted this, after Subaru Natsuki pointed it out, she was willing to act rationally.

[The Witch Cult is an organization that believes in witches. Under the command of the Archbishop of Sin, they commit crimes and are a dangerous group that is very difficult for all countries to deal with.]

[Is that all? Is there any more specific information? ]

[No one can grasp the full picture of the Witch Cult. Except for the frequently active Archbishops of Sloth and Greed, most Archbishops of Sin of the Witch Cult are hiding in the shadows of history and eyeing the civilized order. Occasionally, a few words are heard, often accompanied by bloody debris somewhere, and it is difficult to grasp detailed information. ]

【only--】

Emilia hesitated to speak. Under Natsuki Subaru's urging gaze, she finally spoke reluctantly: "I might become their target."

【Why?! 】

Natsuki Subaru didn't understand what Emilia said. It sounded like the Witch Cult was a large-scale transnational terrorist group roaming around the world, and Emilia was just one of the candidates for the throne of a country.
