The Priest of Complete Dispel ~ Every Time I Save a Cursed Beautiful Girl with My Status Abnormal Cure Skill, For Some Reason Her Dependence on Me Maxes Out ~ - Chapter 62.1: Memory Alteration

Chapter 62.1: Memory Alteration

While eating breakfast, I heard the full story from Iris about everything that happened up to last night.

Even though they were all covered in wounds from the fierce battle, the temple knights had immediately started moving without any rest.

They stormed Bulldog’s mansion and related facilities, began a forced investigation, detained everyone involved, and sent them off for heresy trials.

Apparently, that guard Jilbe was among those captured too.

Bulldog himself was scheduled to be transferred to the royal capital soon.

That’s where the heresy trial would take place.

I didn’t really understand what a heresy trial was exactly, but I figured it was something like a trial… right?

And I had something I needed to do.

I had to gather all the women who had been cursed by Bulldog and dispel every single one of their curses.

But at the same time――there was one thing I wanted to consult Iris about.

It was the issue of their memories.

Even after the dispelling was done, the events in the underground facility would remain in their minds.

Those things were never something they chose to do of their own will.

So once they regained their senses, it would probably leave deep scars.

I remembered what happened in Poan’s Village.

Back then, the women who had been attacked by goblins asked me to overwrite the experience with what we did together.

At the time I was just confused, but now I thought about it.

――Maybe there was magic that could rewrite memories themselves.

Iris’s answer was yes.

However, it wasn’t a spell one person could cast alone.

And this time, the number of targets was way too high.

She told me that if we could gather a massive amount of mana, it might be possible.

That was when I finally remembered.

I had completely left Dorotheia behind.

◇◇◇

“Hey, looks like you’re still alive.”

“Ahh! Master!! The neglect play went on way too long…!”

“Compared to everything else I’ve done, this much is nothing――wait, you… are you really Dorotheia?”

Under the big tree in the grassland, sitting half-naked on the ground, was Dorotheia.

For some reason she wasn’t wearing her armor, and since I hadn’t told her otherwise, she had waited in that exact state.

The moment I got close, I noticed something off.

Her skin tone――it looked completely different, like a different person.

“You… why did your skin color change? It used to be pale purple, right?”

“I don’t know either… I just noticed it like this. But I think it’s your fault, Master…”

“Mine?”

“You have some connection to the goddess, don’t you, Master?”

“Well, yeah. Apparently my body is 100% blessed by the goddess. So status ailments don’t work on me.”

“I knew it… When I connected with you, Master, it felt like the goddess’s power flowed into me… and that purified the impurity of being a demon race, turning me into this…”

Now that she mentioned it, the pale purple skin typical of the demon race was gone, and even her prominent horns had vanished without a trace.

Instead, she had healthy tanned skin――and just from appearance, she looked exactly like my ideal dark elf.

“…Well, that actually works better. Come with me. I’ve got something for you to do.”

“A-anything…!”

“Also, don’t you need to eat?”

“I already got plenty of your thick essence… so I’m good for a while♡”

“…Got it.”

Apparently some of her demon race traits were still there.

…Essence definitely means semen, right? Does it refer to anything else too?

◇◇◇

“――Iris, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, that’s fine… but Shu-sama, that person… a dark elf? She’s unusual, but I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere…”

When we met up near Bulldog’s underground facility, Iris widened her eyes at Dorotheia standing beside me.

It was understandable. With a different skin color and no horns, no one would think she was a demon race.

“This is Dorotheia.”

“Ehhhhhh!? Shu-sama!? What is going on!?”

Iris instinctively readied her holy staff and took a combat stance.

“It’s okay. She’s my slave now――right, bitch?”

“W-woof!”

…No, don’t actually turn into a dog.

But this was weirdly addictive.

“Come on, show your ass.”

“Ah, Master… you want me to show it to her…?”

“Just hurry up.”

“Y-yes…♡”

Apparently she absolutely loved being ordered around by me.

“The slave crest I taught you… you really formed a contract with her.”

“Yeah. With her appearance changed like this, no one will realize she’s a demon race anymore.”

“Then there’s no problem. However, the fact that she was a demon race――it’s better not to tell anyone. For your sake too, Shu-sama.”

“I know. I’ll keep it just between us.”

While talking, we walked through a dim alley and headed toward the underground facility.

But――at the entrance, an unexpected scene awaited us.

“St-stop it! This is a restricted area under temple knight control!”

“Just let me in! I’m waiting for him!”

“I can’t stand it anymore, it’s aching so bad!”

At the entrance, a group of temple knights were arguing with young women trying to force their way into the underground facility.

There were over fifty of them.

Because of the <Lewd Curse> engraved on their bodies, they had lost their reason.

“…Seriously?”

“…We should hurry and cure them.”

One of the culprits was standing right next to me.

Thinking that made me feel like she still hadn’t been punished enough.

“――Temple knights! Please let them through! We’ll take care of it!”

“Saint candidate!? But――”

“It’s okay. Leave it to us!”

At Iris’s shout, the temple knights exchanged glances and opened the way.

“…The rest is up to you.”

We continued straight down into the underground.

At the far end of the dark corridor, we opened the large door――and there, the women from earlier had already started taking off their clothes.

In a space with no men, they were burning with heat.

“――A man!!”

“Ueh!?”
