Tell me lies

[Alva Ren]

Ah... Yes.

How about the library? Should I bring anything? How should I prepare?

[Shimizu Susumu]

There's no need to prepare. I'll know what I need to know when I see it.

[Alva Ren]

All right

This may be a stupid question
I'm not familiar with curses or anything of the kind but

Will it affect you? I mean you won't harm yourself by helping me, will you?

[Shimizu Susumu]

There's a small chance but that can happen with any spell that doesn't go right.

[Alva Ren]

What? What'll happen if it goes wrong?

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'm not sure. This is the first time I've made such a big mistake.

[Alva Ren]

Oh

Wait. You mentioned other witches? Ones with sun magic? Maybe we should look for one of those instead of risking it
I don't want you to get hurt

[Shimizu Susumu]

I was going to consult with one anyway. It's really not a problem.
I appreciate the concern though.

[Alva Ren]

I'm sorry you have to go to so much trouble on account of me

[Shimizu Susumu]

Please don't blame yourself. This was entirely my own fault. I told you, I'll fix it. You'll be all right.

[Alva Ren]

If I hadn't bumped you, some filthy hunter would be getting a dose of that curse now.

What about the hunter though? Will he get away?

[Shimizu Susumu]

Not if I can help it. He doesn't even know what missed him.

[Alva Ren]

Can
Can I come along with you?

[Shimizu Susumu]

To hunt the human hunter?

[Alva Ren]

Yes
Unless I'll be in the way?
