The Great Curse Magic appeared near the Giant Tree of Nishiki. The SSS was planning an operation in cooperation with the Nishiki military to investigate. Mary, Yuuzen, and Miyako was sent to the top of the mountain as a reconnaissance team to await a status report on the Great Curse Magic.
Yakutsk	"Just when we thought something strange had happened to the Giant Tree of Verforet, a big, stupid geoglyph appeared in Nishiki next."
Vivienne	"It's not a geoglyph, it's a sorcery art. It's a special sorcery art called Great Curse Magic... Right?"
Putra	"Many Nishikese sorceries use letters and symbols. Yuuzen said that we might be able to figure out what kind of arts it uses if we look at them from a high place, but the question is whether we can counter them."
Vivienne	"It's very different from our Verforet's magic. I thought I could help a little too, but I'm clueless."
Queensway	"A series of unusual events in the vicinity of Giant Trees... This definitely cannot be a mere coincidence."
Vivienne	"We're starting to see the effects of Poison all over the world. Perhaps the Poison of the otherworlds is surpassing the Giant Tree Guardians' the power."
Yakutsk	"There is no doubt that the Poison is having an effect, but I think it's a little different this time. I don't believe that such a sorcery art could naturally occur because of Poison or the Phantom Mist."
Yakutsk	"The key to Nishikese magic is the words and thoughts of people. We have to be open to the possibility that it is man-made."
Putra	"Words and thoughts are the key? That's what sorcery is all about, isn't it? That's amazing, Yakutsk. Are Eisengradian soldiers familiar with sorcery as well?"
Vivienne	"She must have learnt that from Yoshino. Maybe she listens to her at night as a bedtime story?"
Putra	"Ah, no wonder."
Queensway	"Mary's team will be back soon, and I'm sure Yuuzen will be able to figure out what the sorcery art is for."
Queensway	"Sadly... They will probably bring bad news as well."
Yakutsk	"Huh?"
Queensway	"Don't you feel it? A different kind of magic is flowing from above."
Yakutsk	"...... You're right. An unusual presence suddenly swelled up. A Phantom Mist must have formed near the summit."
Yoshino	"It's not just the Mist."
Yakutsk	"What did you say?"
Yoshino	"This unpleasant feeling is not only due to the Phantom Mist. There is something much worse than that."
Yoshino	"This is a sign of sorcery. It's a very great sorcery too."
Queensway	"Great sorcery?"
Yoshino	"Mhm. It's not something that can be created by Phantom Mist. It is the thought of a very strong person. What Yakky-tan said is true."
Yoshino	"The power of the curse is growing rapidly. It's moving away from here, but the power is only getting stronger."
Queensway	"What the heck is going on up ahead...?"
Mary	"It's worse than you all can imagine."
Queensway	"Mary! And Miss Miyako too!"
Miyako	"......"
Yoshino	"......"
Yoshino	"Miyako, welcome back. Glad you made it back safely."
Miyako	"Yoshino-chan..."
Yoshino	"Yuuzen is not here?"
Miyako	"Mhm... Yuuzen stayed behind."
Yoshino	"As expected of Yuuzen to stay behind alone. It's fortunate that Yuuzen is with us."
Miyako	"......"
Yoshino	"It's fortunate. It's fortunate that Yuuzen is with us. Thanks to that, Miyako, Mary, Yoshino and friends are all safe."
Yoshino	"Isn't that right?"
Miyako	"Yes... Without Yuuzen-san, it would have been much more difficult."
Yoshino	"Where did Yuuzen go?"
Miyako	"She must have gone to the sorcery art. He said he was going to return a large cursed spirit to the sorcery art."
Yoshino	"Cursed spirits, also troublesome. The presence of that scary spell belongs to the cursed spirit, doubt nashi."
Yakutsk	"Hold it. You two should stop talking about this yourselves. Explain it in a way that sorcery idiots can understand."
Miyako	"We were attacked by a cursed spirit created by Nishiki sorcery. We decided that the three of us couldn't defeat it, so Yuuzen-san took care of the spirit, and Mary-san and I returned here."
Queensway	"Must be very strong if Mary and Miss Yuuzen couldn't even defeat this enemy."
Yakutsk	It's certainly 'not as good as it sounds'. The strategy I was thinking about wouldn't work."
Mary	"It's my mistake. I brought it back to Yuuzen."
Yakutsk	"What do you mean you brought it back?"
Mary	"I was possessed by this cursed spirit. I think it's because I got too close to the sorcery art, and if Yuuzen hadn't noticed, I would have brought it back here."
Yoshino	"It wants to follow you. It's a nasty type of cursed spirit."
Miyako	"Yuuzen-san said the same thing. I don't think the purpose is to cause chaos."
Queensway	"I'm really glad Miss Yuuzen was with us. If she was able to spot that much, we might be able to do something about it. We might be able to defeat the enemy."
Mary	"'Might be able to defeat'?"
Mary	"You're challenging that enemy because you MIGHT be able to defeat it? You're risking Conductor's life?"
Queensway	"Ah......"
Mary	"That Yuuzen took one glance at the enemy and decided that us three 'can't defeat it'. Do you realize how powerful the enemy is? Yuuzen saw through the nature and strength of the cursed spirit and let Miyako and I escape. I'm sure she won't choose to fight until the end."
Queensway	"I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking straight."
Yoshino	"Ne Miyako. That cursed spirit that Yuuzen is dealing with. How strong does Miyako think it is?"
Miyako	"Very strong. At least stronger than the Hinayashiki Owner. The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I thought I couldn't fight it."
Miyako	"That cursed spirit used a very good Counting Curse. It was fast and complicated, and by the time Yuuzen realized it, it counted to Five."
Vivienne	"Counting curses are very difficult spells. The higher the number, the more advanced the sorcery, right? How strong is Five?"
Yoshino	"It depends on the ability of the caster and the nature of the spell. If Haha Amazu counted to Five for an attack, she might be able to make one mountain disappear."
Miyako	"But Yuuzen and I were both safe. Maybe it was some kind of special sorcery. If it was an attack sorcery, I would not be here now."
Vivienne	"Did either of you notice anything strange before you came here? Did you feel strange or hear strange voices?"
Mary	"Nothing so far."
Miyako	"I haven't noticed anything unusual either."
Vivienne	"But you can't let your guard down yet. It could be a slow-acting sorcery, or it could be a sorcery that is activated under certain conditions."
Putra	"Hey Yoshino, can a sorcereress also find curses on people?"
Yoshino	"Sometimes they can, and a great sorcereress like Yuuzen or Haha Amazu can even get rid of them."
Putra	"Then why don't you check Miyako and Mary's bodies, and Yoshino and Miyako can work together. You two can check for bad things using sorcery."
Vivienne	"I was thinking the same thing."
Putra	"There's nothing scarier than what you can't see. And sometimes there are things that cannot be reversed later."
Conductor	I agree with Putra. Nishikese sorcery is very deep. I am concerned about Yuuzen and the cursed spirit, but the first priority is to ensure safety.
Conductor	Yoshino and Miyako should check Mary's body. Of course, don't forget to check Miyako's as well. If the Counting Curses is this up close, we must be worried about Miyako's health.
Yoshino	"Not just the body. Look at the heart as well."
Yoshino	"Shashou is right, Nishiki sorcery is very deep. Words, and thoughts. These two things get into a person's heart."
Yoshino	"Miyako, Mary, come here. Let Yoshino take care of you."
Mary	"I'm sorry, but please do."
Miyako	"Thank you, Yoshino-chan."
Yoshino	"You are welcome. As a sorceress, and as your friend, it's only natural."
