The Alteheim Kingdom, another country the beastmen had built, was in an alliance with Rhedenburg. According to books, they were originally one big country, but 500 years ago, the evil tribe manipulated the relationship of the beastmen behind the scenes and tore it apart. The countries were produced because of that. Even with knowing the cause, their relationship grew worse at the point in time it was known. Cross-national wars were frequent at the time the nation was founded, and because of the great efforts of the hero and others in those days, they executed a peace treaty which repaired their relationship. As the country itself was exceedingly big from the start, the influence of the king himself didn’t reaching all of the territories. Although the reason was them being attacked by the evil family then, as it was divided into 2, the strong points and weak points of each other became clear, and it turned into a relationship where they mutually compensate for that now.
“Finn, calm down. I didn’t hear the Lich’s words. Sophia was manipulated by an evil tribe. Probably, that child herself hasn’t realized she invoked a curse on Finn. Everything, it’s because the evil tribes are evil. Perhaps, I think the goal was to deprive you of the titles and unique skills you possess.” (Akane)
“-----Ah, yes, it wasn’t Sophia’s intention, right?” (Finn)
“Oh well, it shouldn’t be of her own volition. But, they possibly used latent thoughts for the things she thought in her own mind.” (Akane)
“Such a thing! But, Sophisama had self-restraint, and she always came into contact with me like this. ----I cannot allow her evil!” (Finn)
She appeared to have calmed down.
“Sophia Allenthal was manipulated by an evil tribe, and it seems that she requested the Galum Gang to kidnap you.” (Akane)
“-----Yes, I think’s that’s right. Sophisama is 14 years old, the same age as Leon-sama, and is a truly gentle person. I got to know her in the academy, and I remember it was enjoyable to talk to Leon-sama and for the 3 of us to study. Even after my strange status was induced, like Leon-sama, she was very worried.” (Finn)
I see, her true nature seemed to be that of a good child. As they continued to talk together, she began to hold love towards Leon. And then, that was used by the evil tribe.
“Lich, is Sophia alive still?” (Akane)
“Yes, she’s in good health. I was observing her often, and currently, she hasn’t even noticed the matter of her being manipulated by an evil tribe. However, I think it is a matter of time before she notices. Because she appears to be having nightmares in her dreams.” (Lich)
Inopportune! If she noticed it, she’ll be unable to bear the weight of her sins and commit suicide. If it comes to that,
“Lich, after releasing Finn’s curse, please apply the same, no, a curse even greater than that to Sophia. If your power isn’t enough, use my power. As for the contents of the curse, fix all of her attribute values to 50, deprive her of all her skills and unique skills she currently possesses, and then add【Mental Resistance Skill MAX】to her skills and ‘Unable to Suicide’ to her titles. The interval the curse will be invoked is 5 years.” (Akane)
“Yes, if I borrow from Sashsama’s power, it won’t even be difficult.” (Lich)
“Fue~~! All attribute values at 50, and deprivation of all her skills! Please wait just a moment. Sophisama was manipulated by an evil tribe. Isn’t all of that too much?” (Finn)
“What naive things you're saying. If you hadn’t met me, you would have died without fail. Besides, with the banned technique of darkness magic『Sacrifice』, there were probably about 100 beastmen that became sacrifices for the sake of commanding the Lich.” (Akane)
“One hundred beastmen! Because there were sacrifices like that, I thought the same evil tribe was used. She even sacrificed 100 unrelated beastmen!?” (Finn)
Befitting of her, she was astonished, but that was natural.
“With a different race than the evil tribe being sacrificed, the effectiveness raised. When your status became strange, didn’t something happen in the surroundings?” (Akane)
Finn pondered for a while, but it looked like there was something that came to mind. Her face suddenly turned pale.
“---Th-, th-, there was. In the slums, a number of people close to one hundred combined of adults and children went unaccounted for. The chivalric order pursued their whereabouts, but they didn’t discover them in the end.” (Finn)
“That, huh? Because『Sacrifice』sacrifices both body and mind, their bodies completely vanished.” (Akane)
“Such a thing!” (Finn)
“Although she was manipulated, Sophia killed those many beastmen. The events of Finn and the unaccounted for slums, she did all of those herself, and sooner or later, the person herself will also notice. The signs, they are beginning to appear already. If she notices, she will be unable to bear the weight of her sins and will, without fail, commit suicide. The curse was applied to prohibit her from doing so.” (Akane)
“But, but,” (Finn)
“Have peace of mind. So that Sophia herself doesn’t become strange mentally, she was bestowed with【Mental Resistance Level MAX】.” (Akane)
“But the curse, is it possible to do?” (Finn)
“It’s possible, however, suitable power is necessary. It should be alright if she is given this curse. Well then, Lich, after releasing Finn’s curse, give the curse from some time ago to Sophia. My evil power, I wonder if it’s fine with this much.” (Akane)
"I won’t use too much. Approximately 1/3 will be left over.” (Lich)
“If there is surplus, your tool, well, put it into the jewel of that cane. It’s sure to strengthen it considerably. Your offensive ability will also rise, but, I wonder, can it compensate for your weak points.” (Akane)
“It’s okay? Thank you very much. I’m greatly saved. Well then, Finn, come here.” (Lich)
“Fue! Ah, yes.” (Finn)
With this, Finn’s curse was released.
“I have a request for after. If Leon and Sophia enquire something, give them an honest answer. Next time, because there is something I want to ask about the evil god, you’ll be summoned before long.” (Akane)
“Yes! Certainly. Well then, excuse me.” (Lich)
The Lich’s presence vanished. It’s good he was a nice fellow who understood. Since it wanted to avoid futile conflicts. Oh, I wonder if Finn was tense, she fell asleep as is. As it was, let’s go to the slave trader’s place and release her from slavery.
Releasing her from slavery and releasing her from the curse, they all ended without problems. However, my money also disappeared. Well, if I went to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow, I wonder if I would feel relieved because I could receive the prize money. Ah, did Finn also wake up?
“I wonder, did you slept well?” (Akane)
“Ah, Master, I had a strange dream. There was a curse covering me, Sophisama was the preformer, and Master released me from the curse.” (Finn)
She was half asleep.
“Finn, all of that is true. Incidentally, you were also released from slavery.” (Akane)
Ah, this was coming. Let’s do『Silent』.
“----eh, eh, eh~~~~!? Everything is true? Status, appear.” (Finn)
I also confirmed Finn’s status.

Title: Divine Protection of the Divine Beast Fenrir (Correction within all attribute values)
No way~~~! Finn wasn’t strong. At 12 years old, what was with this strength! Ah, was it thanks to this title? Her unique skill was also strong. Regarding the evil tribe, it felt these 2 were threats, huh.
Finn also had opened her mouth widely.
“Master, is this really me? My basic attribute values have risen considerably more than even before I received the curse.” (Finn)
“Probably, after you received the curse, I guess you piled up a lot of training, huh. It’s no good, you’ve completely deviated from the level 1 of a 12 year old.” (Akane)
“But, I’m happy. At last, at last I was released from slavery and the curse. Master, thank you very much. Ah, I wonder if Sophisan is okay?” (Finn)
Fufu, it was good you were delighted. At any rate, she'd come here and she was worrying about Sophia?¹
“It’s alright. If they enquire the Lich, he said he would answer honestly to everything. They will also know that Finn is alive. I dare say, that should become her salvation.” (Akane)
From now on, evil tribes would aim at us. Of course, I would get rid of every one of them.
“Well, it’ll be time for dinner before long. Let’s eat a lot.” (Akane)
“Uu, uu, sniff, yes!” (Finn)
When I disembarked to the first floor, Lein-san was there.
“Sasha, I heard it. You caught the Galum Gang. Isn’t that a glorious achievement!” (Lein)
All adventurers: “””What~~!? Such a cute young woman~~”””
“Ah, yes, it seemed I was going to become a slave so I had to do it.” (Akane)
“You see, throw out your chest with pride more. The Galum Gang was in the B-class blacklist, and it’s said they were elusive.” (Lein)
Everyone was shocked at the fact I caught them. Those guys, they were strong to that extent?
“Although the guild head also said that, that feeling still hasn’t appeared.” (Akane)
“Well, that’s understandable. Without warning, you caught such an important person. Is the child next to you a slave?” (Lein)
“Yes, she’s already been released from slavery. After this, she’ll travel with me as my disciple.” (Akane)
“Ah, how do you do, I am called Finn. After this, with Sashsan as my master, I think I want to go become rapidly stronger. Please treat me well.” (Finn)
“Yup yup, you're a nice and aborable child. I’m Lein, best regards.” (Lein)
The other adventurers as well, they appeared to greet her and receive a handshake.
“Ah, because I can receive the prize money tomorrow, while congratulating Finn’s release from slavery, why don’t we have a party here? Of course, I will pay for it all. At the same time then, I’ll reveal my new cuisine.” (Akane)
Everyone on the first floor
“””Alright~~!!! It’ll be delicious even if it’s only that fried chicken! In addition, Sashsan’s new home cooking~~”””
Eeh, it was a great shout. They wanted it that badly?
“Gale-san, how about it?” (Akane)
“I don’t mind! It’s warmly welcomed if our dishes are increased.” (Gale)
Thus, tomorrow evening, there was a party.
It was also Finn’s celebration, but it was nice once in a while, huh.
Translator's Notes
¹ - Not sure about the ‘came here’ part. Pretty sure it means that she’d come this far and discovered that but still worried about Sophia. ▲
If you guys notice anything wrong, please let me know!
See you ….perhaps soon?
