Chapter 477: The Curse Spreads
Erina: "That's right."
Erina: "Now, I thought about it carefully, isn't there something wrong with this? If you are seen by them, you will be cursed. Then aren't there many victims of these people walking on the street?"
Nao: "Right? They have to see me."
Rom: "Well, yes. So it's not just a glance that will make the curse take effect. It should take some time...such as a face-to-face conversation or something."
Rom: "Actually, I don't know exactly what it is. Maybe everyone is taking too much precautions about things related to them... Who knows."
Erina: "Could it be that there is no curse at all?"
Nao: "I was thinking about it just now. Isn't it just a legend that everyone has spread around?"
Rom: "No, the curse is not a joke! No one who has joined the Ashes Holy Belt Society can die peacefully in bed. They all die miserably... Believe me, it's terrible. It's true Just like the nightmare beneath our village.”
Rom: "There are always fanatical believers who voluntarily give up all contact with the outside world, give up their relatives, friends and their own careers, and become one of them. From then on, they only communicate and marry with internal members, just so that they can hunt those evil spirits every day. Things... to be honest, they are quite respectable. But their dedication makes my hair stand on end."
Rom: "You may ask why this organization has been cursed but has not been disbanded. It seems that it is because these members are proud of this curse, as if it is a scar of honor."
Nao: "Well, actually I really want to ask..."
Nao: "Has anyone tried a symbolic disbandment? That is, disbanding the Ashes Holy Belt Society in name only, and actually immediately reorganizing it into a new organization... called the Hacao Warriors Society or something, and continuing to do the original business?"
Erina: "Hey, what the hell is the Kazusa Warriors? I'm afraid the people in this organization are not so high every day..."
Erina: "Speaking of which, it's the same as not being lifted. If it could be solved so easily, it wouldn't be called a curse."
Nao: "But sometimes it's just that simple~ It's like a brain teaser! It's like saying 'no man
Kill me’, like being killed by a woman. "
Erina: "So that's just a story! That wouldn't happen in reality."
Erina: "Hey, Mr. Rom. Can you tell us what kind of masks the people of the Ashes Sacred Belt Society wear? If you keep going like this, you will recognize them when you see them."
Rom: "I don't have their portraits either. So... I'm sorry."
Rom: "If you want to identify them, the mask is actually not the key point. Pay more attention to the robes on their bodies. There is the emblem of the Ashes Sacred Belt Society on it. It is easy to identify it. It is a sword with two sides. The Sacred Belt of Mars..."
Nao: "Well, what is the holy belt? A sacred belt?"
Erina: "Well, that's what it means... Priests of certain religions sometimes wear this kind of belt. Different colors have different meanings... So why is the Ashes Sacred Belt called this name, Mr. Rom?" It must have some special meaning, right?”
Rom: "Well, I've honestly never given it much thought. You might have to ask someone else..."
Rom: "...probably the inspiration came from the founder's sacred belt being accidentally burned."
Erina: "I see. It's really casual."
Nao: "I don't think that's the case, Erina-chan~ It's more believable to say that the founder was burned at the stake."
Erina: "Really?!"
Rom: "I guess not..."
Erina: "Well, it's really an unsolved mystery. Maybe after the Ashes Holy Belt Society comes, we can ask them personally."
Rom: "Wait! I said before, you shouldn't talk to them..."
Erina: "Didn't you say that it would be fine if you don't have to be looked at by them all the time? Then just talk for a few words."
Nao: "Although I don't think we should talk, but I feel like it's okay as long as we don't communicate through mouth!"
Nao: "It must be okay to communicate with pen and paper, right? We know a person who keeps talking to us like this!"
Rom: "It's best not to try it...you'll probably be cursed too. Don't joke with your own lives, ladies!"
Erina: "It's so annoying. It doesn't work either this way or that way."
Erina: "Forget it, let's not talk to them. Even if we meet underground, we can each investigate separately... But there will always be times when these people need to collect information, right? If people are afraid of them, how should we conduct investigations? Woolen cloth?"
Rom: "I seem to have heard that the only way is to avoid direct contact. For example, write a letter and leave it somewhere. After a while, someone from the Ashes Belt Society will pick it up, and then leave a reply... It's so cumbersome. The way of communication will not be cursed.”
The more Erina listened, the more she felt that an organization like the Ashes Holy Belt needed a phone call.
With it, the impact of the curse should be less severe.
Maybe even the video won't spread the curse. Then you can also live broadcast exorcisms and so on.
If she sees such a group of brave people dedicating themselves to protecting the people, she will definitely go to the live broadcast room to buy a large amount of gifts.
Thinking of this, she decided to ask this question that had puzzled her for a long time.
That is……
"Hey, Rom. Why aren't you afraid of us and why are you opening the door for us to come in?"
Rom: "Well, there's really no special reason. It's just because I know you're not from the Ashes Holy Belt. I'm afraid you'll be cursed if you wander outside, so... but most people may be too afraid of curses, so it's completely Don’t dare to do this.”
Nao: "That's right. Everyone in the Holy Belt Association is obviously wearing uniforms, so it's easy to identify..."
Nao: "...But actually, even if we don't know about the Holy Belt Society, we won't be cursed, right? Because they all cover their faces, we won't be affected by the curse no matter how we look. They won't deliberately stare at us either. Look, they don’t even know how to communicate with us... Then even if we keep talking to them, they will be fine."
Erina: "That's right."
Erina: "But it's still possible that I kept nagging at them. They got annoyed and decided to kill me."
Nao: "Hey~"
Erina: "She laughed with interest! Nao is indeed a traitor! She must be imagining how I will die every day!"
Nao: "Don't get me wrong. I only think about Saye-chan's body every day~"
Nao: "Of course I still think about it a little bit when I see a cute girl."
Nao: "Is this normal?"
Erina: "It's totally abnormal!"
