Chapter 516: His and Their Curses

His and Their Curses

* * *

Clank, clank…

Clank, clank…

The skeleton in silver armor, who keeps bumping into the wall, clanking his armor… the ‘protagonist’, according to Extra-sama.

As I mentioned before, I don’t sense any hostility or killing intent from him.

Or rather, he’s not even aware of me?

Like a robot, only performing predetermined actions…

…That’s the impression I get.

What is he doing?

Why does he keep bumping into the wall?

Extra-sama’s voice echoes in my head, as I tilt my head in confusion.

Well, that would be…

I put my hand on my chin, and thought about it.

But well, yeah.

It’s not a difficult question.

The god who prepared the story and filmed the isekai reincarnation broadcast, right?

A redo?

Eh…?

Revive… You mean… they brought him back to life…!?

Is that okay?

To do that?

Youthful indiscretion…

‘Reviving humans’ is treated as ‘mischief’ for gods!?

Wait, hold on, Extra-sama.

Going back to the story—

The protagonist was revived, and challenged the nemesis to a battle again.

And then, what happened?

Did he win?

Why!?

Now that you mention it… that makes sense…?

Isn’t Herotti… too pitiful…?

No, maybe they should just give up…

Isn’t Herotti… too pitiful…?

Isn’t Herotti… too pitiful…!!

Give up!!

That must have been rough for the others involved!?

Clank, clank…

Extra-sama sighed deeply, listening to the sound of the protagonist skeleton bumping into the wall.

And then.

Extra-sama said that quietly… but with disgust.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

…‘Status Fixation Curse’?

Isn’t that… a blessing, in a way?

…I misspoke.

But… so that means…

This protagonist skeleton… can only perform predetermined actions now.

So that’s probably why… General Tekigataa and the others created ‘that wall’.

When a wall that wasn’t there before suddenly appeared before him, the protagonist skeleton can’t avoid or destroy it.

Because he has no experience doing that.

He can’t even recognize that there’s a wall there, and just keeps trying to walk straight, bumping into the wall, getting ‘stuck’…

By sealing him like that, General Tekigataa and the others wouldn’t have to deal with him.

Unlike the protagonist skeleton… they don’t revive.

That sounds boring.

And that’s why they’re so strong?

The protagonist has clearly lost his judgment and is weaker, but the enemies are getting stronger!

There’s no way the protagonist can win!

…This is truly… a hopeless situation.

I can only sigh.

…But wait.

…The god?

What’s the god doing?

Because of their obsession with the story, the people in this fort have been imprisoned for five hundred years.

But it’s fine now, right?

They’re pitiful, aren’t they?

Don’t they want to do something about it?

Well?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Flamed.

Ran away.

I involuntarily held my head in my hands.

That god is… too pathetic…!
