...Ugh. *Cough* *Huff*... *Huff*...

Hans... I'm sorry... I...

I can't... go any further...

Hans, I...

I'm not doing this because Lord Lucius told me to...

I'm doing it because you're Hans... I-I just wanted to protect you.

I asked Lord Lucius to allow me to... *Cough* *Cough*

There are many other places that I wanted to visit together with you...

I wanted to travel more...

But... it seems like I'm running out of time...

Even if I should fall... my magic will continue to protect you.

Promise me...

...that you will definitely defeat Maxwell...

Ugh...

.........

Hey! Is it really you, Hans!?

You must be pretty tough, making it all the way here by yourself...

So how'd it go with Abaddon??

Hans... Don't tell me...

Don't tell me you still can't synthesize antidotes?!

I know, I know. I was just kidding.

...It's a curse? What do you mean?

Come on, what are you talking about!?

.........!

Wait... are you saying that, this girl is a goddess?

You're... not messing with me, are you?

And?

.........

So... it was Maxwell, eh...

I wish I could help, but this is beyond me...

This is not something we can cure by synthesizing potions...

But wait, this curse was cast by Maxwell, right?

Then defeating Maxwell should remove her curse, don't you think?

If defeating Maxwell doesn't solve it, you can always just beat her until she coughs it up!

That's the only other way I can think of right now.

...Sure thing. I'll take care of her.

My team has set up a camp nearby, I'll take her there.

You should hurry.

She's suffering because of you!

This is no time to loiter around, you should be dashing towards St. Lamia Palace!
