The Dwarf’s Circumstances

I, Seyi Falt, encountered a dwarf in the Land of Ice.

The dwarf had been running from a troll.

Apparently, the trolls were treating the dwarves like slaves.

That stirred up memories from when I had been a corporate slave, so I got angry and blew the troll away with an Explosive Potion…!

…And that brought us to now.

We stopped the dragon carriage and listened to the dwarf’s story.

“My name is Teteroro.”

“So, Teteroro. What happened?”

When he explained, this was what he told us.

Apparently, the giant trolls had suddenly started a riot.

The trolls had originally lived in caves, but they suddenly came out and attacked the dwarven town.

And then, they enslaved the dwarves and forced them to work… or so it seemed.

“Can’t you defy the trolls?”

“No. We have been placed under a curse… Cough! Cough, cough!”

Teteroro vomited blood from his mouth.

He collapsed while clutching his chest in pain.

“A-Are you okay it is!?”

Daphne-chan, the kindest slave and a member of the rabbit tribe, hurriedly approached Teteroro.

“Hah… hah… Thank you, young lady… But my life is already over.”

“No! Why?”

I pointed at Teteroro’s chest.

“There’s a curse on you, isn’t there?”

“A curse…?”

I explained to Daphne-chan.

“It’s a death curse that activates when you defy your master. It’s quite powerful.”

If that was the case, it was a little strange.

I could not imagine mere trolls creating this formula…

“No… Dwarf-san… are you going to die?”

Oh, come on, Daphne-chan, don’t look at me with those eyes.

I know already.

During that conversation, I had made a potion that could dispel the curse.

“Teteroro. Drink this.”

“I am already…”

“Shut up.”

I poured the potion over him.

Then, while steam rose from his body, the curse mark vanished.

“O-Oh! A-Amazing! The pain in my chest disappeared like it had never been there!”

“Amazing it is! Onee-chan!”

Well, Daphne-chan would be sad, and I had also become interested in whoever cast this formula on him.

Plus.

“I have to punish the piece of trash who treats people like slaves…!”

Because I had worked while being power-harassed, I could not forgive it.

I could not forgive forcing someone to work like a slave…!

Unless I caught the root cause and taught them a lesson, I would not be satisfied!

So, with that said, I’m going to wipe out the trolls~.
