“I can't guarantee it, but there's still a chance. So let me check it out first.” Ray calms the overzealous Syr.
“Begukah..” Syr let out a low sigh and regained his composure after hearing Ray's words.
“While I'm not sure I can cure it, it doesn't mean there's no chance, because I don't know what form of energy is sealing your brother and what kind. I don't want to give false hope like ‘I will definitely cure him’ or something like that.” Ray continued after hearing Syr's disappointed speech.
“Then quickly check my brother's condition.” Pinta Syr with shining eyes.
“Alright, wait a minute..” Ray checks Schnee's condition with his Divine Sense, but no matter how he tries to find out more, it looks like a wisp of black energy similar to dark magic.
Repeatedly trying but still not able to know the main problems of Schnee's disease, Ray finally resigned and only asked the system for a way out. “System, can you tell us about what disease Schnee suffered and how to cure it?”
“Ding ~~~ Host's desired information, included in the world's secrets. If the Host still wants this information it will cost twenty Gold Coins.”
Ray almost fell out of his chair when he heard the answer from his system. “Basically you're a fucking system that has no heart! Could you blackmail me when I want to save the man who almost died!”
“Ding ~~~ correction Host, in the state of Miss Schnee now she will be fine as long as she does not use her mana.”
“Not that it was the same, how could one possibly survive in this chaotic world without the strength to defend themselves! Moreover they were being chased by a group of strong people as well!” Denied Ray in his heart.
“Ding ~~~ then Host just paid the cost of information. Does the Host think the value of one's life is not worth a few Gold coins?”
“Uhrk... Why do I feel like a criminal here? Basic system damn!” Ray in my heart.
“Ding ~~~ So Host still wants information or not? Please Host immediately decide, the system wants to nap.”
“Brukk..” Ray immediately fell out of his seat upon hearing the system's ridiculous answer to him.
Schnee and Syr who saw Ray fall from a chair felt strange and surprised. “How could a man as strong as him fall from a chair? What really happened to Ray?” The two girls had the same question in their minds.
“Ray, is there a problem? You okay, right?” Schnee asked with a bit of anxiety and confusion.
“Ah, no problem. I just thought of something and lost focus for a while. hehe..” Ray chuckled as he answered Schnee's anxiety.
“Then thank God, I thought that you were affected by the bad effects of checking me out. I don't want to hurt someone who's been so good to us.” Schnee breathed a sigh of relief.
“Checking you won't give me any distractions or problems, so you don't have to worry. I just found something but let me think about it in a minute.” Ray's reply calmed Schnee and Syr before he returned to negotiating with his system.
“System, give me information about what disease Schnee suffered and how to cure it. I'll pay for it!” Inner Ray was a little irritated.
“Ding ~~~ Confirmation. Miss Schnee's illness is a curse of black magic. The energy used in the curse is dark energy which is a type of curse in the form of mana seals and attributes. And this curse causes the affected body to weaken to the level of a normal human and they lose the mana-based abilities and attributes.”
“Then how to cure it?” Ray asked impatiently in his heart.
“Ding ~~~ Confirmation. The Host needs to draw the dark energy out by flowing the mana that belongs to the Host, it was almost the same way that the Host helped Allen cure his illness but at this moment instead of making the dark energy was absorbed in Miss Schnee's body, she said, The Host had to take it out through a black mark formed on Miss Schnee.”'s body
“Black sign? You mean the circular black snake mark? So do I have to direct the black mark?” Ray asked with a hint of hesitation, no matter how the black mark was in such a sensitive place for a girl.
“Ding ~~~ Confirmation. Host needs to touch the black mark directly without any intermediary.”
Ray almost fell back from the chair when he heard the answer from the system. “Fucking system, if I do that instead I will be seen as a pervert in front of them?” Ray in my heart.
Schnee noticed an unnatural change in expression from Ray and began to feel nervous. But he finally dared himself to ask. “Ray? What was? Did you find anything?”
“It..” Ray was a little hesitant to say his invention. But he finally gave up on seeing the hopeful gazes of the two girls, after sighing deeply to calm himself Ray continued still with a tone full of doubt. “Actually I found the source of your illness and also the way to cure it, but..”.
“But what?” Schnee replied with a slight confusion as she looked at Ray.
“But to heal it I need to touch directly the black mark that became the black energy center to expel the black energy from within your body. And I can't think of any other way but that way.” Reply Ray in a slow tone.
“You mean? You should touch..” Schnee's words came to a halt as she recalled the part on which the black mark was located, it was near her heart and precisely on her left chest.
“I won't force you if you don't want to continue, juju raku already thought of all possible ways but this is the only way that can work according to me.” Ray said in a low voice.
Schnee who heard Ray's honest and sincere tone finally made her decision. “Hah... All right, Ray, you can continue the treatment. I have no problem with your treatment methods, I want to get back to health in order to protect myself and Syr.” Schnee replied while strengthening her resolve.
“You sure?” Ray once again confirmed Schnee's decision and finally he only saw Schnee nod with a flushed face.
After confirming Schnee's decision, Ray let out a long sigh. “You can make a hole in the place where the sign is on your clothes, I don't want to be considered taking advantage of you while doing the treatment.”
Although Ray admits that he wants to see Schnee's half-naked body but he also does not like to take advantage of someone who is in distress. “Syr, you can stay here while I do the treatment.” Ray said as he turned towards Syr.
Syr just nodded in agreement. And after checking to make sure everything was safe, Ray proceeded to treat Schnee's curse.
