Kazuma was in his mansion quietly drinking tea
Regina was drinking coffee while carrying the chicken egg, also called Emperor Zell
She had just recently returned from doing street magic to replenish her explosive potions that she spent
After all, yesterday she spent all the options she bought hunting frogs…
It seems that the town has another pyromaniac on the loose
He was relaxing in his armchair when there was a knock on the door…
Huh?
Looking at Regina who didn't move a single muscle Kazuma stood up with a sigh to open the door
—Uh? You were Darkness's butler, right?
—That's right, young man, my name is Hagen
—I'm sorry to tell you that Darkness isn't home…
—I know Mr. Ignis has sent me to look for you specifically, here—With that said, he handed her an invitation for the Dustiness family
—Ugh, problems as usual
—Well, we'll wait for you at the mansion, without further ado, I have obligations to fulfill
Saying this, he left the mansion with dignity, leaving Kazuma at the door of his house
—Who was Kazuma?
—He was a friend's butler… her father wants to see me
—Uh? Don't tell me you had a son and didn't tell me…
—Of course not!
—Let me go with you! Today is Zell's session with Wiz, and I have nothing to do!
—I would honestly say no…
—If you let me go I promise to take care of the plants in the garden…
—Deal! Don't regret it just
Aqua's plants had started to grow, they were starting to get aggressive, so if someone else took care of those things he would be happy
Already in the Dustiness mansion Kazuma is nervous seeing the gloomy atmosphere there
—Is this the mansion of a modern noble?... The atmosphere is somewhat common, but there are no skulls to complement the theme…
Regina talking nonsense walked as if the mansion belonged to her
—The lord is waiting for them
A maid came out of nowhere and guided them to where the lord of the mansion was
Lying in his bed was Darkness's father, Ignis Ford Dustiness
—Excuse me sir… I think you made a mistake calling me, after all Darkness went out with Mitsurugi to complete missions…
—N-no, I spoke to you… After all, I don't think I have much time left. I feel like I'm getting weaker every day... I don't want to bother my daughter. After all, the letters won't get to her on time. When she reads them... —She started to cough—I-I won't be here anymore. I don't want to worry her since she must be busy... that's why I wanted to talk to you. I know you're someone very special. She... wanted you to promise me that you'd take care of her.
—Huh? Me? You'll recover, you'll see...
—Stop... believe me, I'd give anything to see her grow, but I don't have much strength left. Believe me, my end is near...
—Would you give anything...?
Regina said suspiciously.
—Anything! After all, I could help my daughter with the financial problems we have... and I'd stop being a useless burden.
She answered without hesitation.
—Kazuma, Kazuma, this noble smells like a demon's curse!
Regina, ignoring the situation, commented rudely
—Are you insensitive? How can you say such things at a time like this!
Kazuma scolded her for saying that Ignis smelled bad…
—No! I'm serious, my goddess senses say that she is cursed by a demon!
—And can you cure him?
—Not exactly, but I can probably make the curse be removed, after all I'm not a Priestess!
—You say, young lady, that you can help me…?
—Of course, but in exchange I want you to at least promote the cult of the goddess Regina through you…
—If you can cure me, I'll agree…
—Just a moment then…
Regina whispered to Kazuma
—Kazuma, do you have any potions or something like that? I can remove the curse! But I can't restore it…
Kazuma searched his backpack and saw a package of potions…
Vanir's potion…
Wow, he would have to buy some useless things, after all, the potion he sold him ended up being useful…
Even the lemon green bottle had a note on it that said: this potion can restore the condition almost completely! Moi assures it!
Regina took the potion, closed her eyes and concentrated
—You who have been attacked by strangers to whom you did nothing, may vengeance guide you, may all the sins that have been committed against you be returned, by my power, the power of the Goddess of Vengeance and Domination I give you my blessing BLESSING!
A bluish purple glow briefly covered Ignis' body, then Regina poured the potion into his mouth
—Phew, I had to divide the power I was giving Serena, but if this goes well I will have enough followers to maintain the blessings of both at the same time…
Ignis surprised got up from his bed, pleasantly surprised that he was fine again
—Oh, this is a miracle, now I can work again! Thank you very much!
—You're welcome, mortal! Just remember your promise!
—Of course I will, I won't forget her! Just… The goddess I have
to spread her religion of which she is the patron…?
Regina smiled maliciously
—She is the goddess of Vengeance and Domination!
Ignis thought for a bit, then nodded
—Thank you very much, I promise to spread that religion here in Axel, and wherever I go I will support it…
Accompanying them to the door Ignis said goodbye to them
—Goodbye, Satuma Kazou I hope you do well, and the same to you young lady
Kazuma felt like he was forgetting something… but he didn't give it any importance, after all, if he forgot it wasn't important
Leaving the Dustiness mansion they didn't hear what Ignis told his butler
—Fagel, I want you to help me spread the religion of the Goddess Regina-sama, after all I owe my health to her…
—Sir, whatever you say will be done, but could you give me the information of this religion…— Hagel was a little worried, after all Master Ignis had never made a mistake with his name…
—Of course, it is the Goddess Regina-sama, patron of Justice and Freedom…
Kazuma had forgotten about the side effects of the potion…
Elsewhere in the city at that very moment, in a basement of a mansion, there were 2 beings in a room
—Stupid Imp! I almost died! What the hell did you do!
In the basement, contrary to the image one would expect, was the noble Alderp Alexei Barnes beating up a devil
Alderp had felt a lot of pain a few moments ago, he suddenly felt weak and his whole body felt heavy, after asking the devil who was near him to help him, he began to beat him
—Hiii, it wasn't my intention Alderp, the noble you asked me to curse received a blessing that made all the damage you told me to do to him bounce off
—You're really useless! First you can't get my Lalatina to stay in Axel and now you can't curse someone to death! I should summon some more powerful demon to do the job!
—Hiii sorry, my powers are weak against the divine…
Alderp stopped hitting him, after all he still didn't feel well
—Uff Uff, now I'll have to think of a way to make sure the Dustiness family can't pay the debt… you'll have to manipulate many minds so the plan can work out well…
—Hiii, but are you going to pay the price Alderp?
—Yes… I'll pay the price later…
Without him knowing, a mask was watching him from the shadows…
A doll with a mask began to laugh somewhere in the castle
