After escaping from the restaurant, Alex and Maria returned to their suite.
''Hahaha! That was fun.'' Alex commented after laughing.
''Fufufu! You are right. I'm happy that many people have witnessed your proposal. Although I don't know them, their presence made me happy.'' Maria said before lying beside Alex on the king-size bed.
''I'm happy to have encountered you. If only I could show you and others to my grandma. I'm sure she would be proud of her grandson. Well, I will find a solution to go back in the future. I'll make sure of it.'' Alex declared, and Maria caressed his face gently while whispering.
''Of course, we will help you as well. We all miss home.''
''You are we will go back after completing why we got reincarnated for.'' Alex's words made Maria recall that indeed they reincarnated for something.
''You are right, but let's not talk about that for now. When we were at the restaurant, you said that you had finally figured out a solution to my problem. Can you tell me what you got?"
Alex didn't immediately answer Maria's question. He used her legs as a pillow; looking into her eyes, he finally began explaining with a question.
''Do you remember that there's a curse put on Mysthia?"
''I do. A powerful being beat all the Gods and put a curse on Mysthia afterward.''
''Yes, it was a dragon,'' Alex added.
''I see, so we will be fighting against a dragon in the final fight?''
Alex nodded, and Maria grinned.
''How interesting!" She said.
''But I don't understand why you brought this up.''
''Well, one of those Gods is still alive and cursed.''
''What?" Maria exclaimed because Alex's words shocked her, but she immediately calmed down and started thinking; soon, she narrowed down the list to the Elven goddess; only her disappeared while the others died in the war.
''Who is she?" Maria immediately asked as she was sure that her man knew the answer.
''It is Elseria, the guild master of the Adventurer guild.'' Alex calmly replied.
And to his surprise Maria didn't react as he thought she would, she simply nodded.
''It makes sense. She is too mysterious, and many people are afraid of her. My master respects her a lot, almost as if she was her mentor. If there's someone she was afraid of, it's only that woman, no wonder.''
''I see. Okay, the reason why I started this subject was to tell you how the solution I'm about to use was born.''
Maria nodded and kept listening.
''It's because I thought of a method of erasing Elseria's curse. You know that my silver gun can cancel any magic, don't you?"
To this question, she nodded.
''So, I thought maybe that unique ability could erase Elseria's curse as curses are undoubtedly magic.''
Maria was pleasantly surprised that Alex could think of such a method after learning about Elseria's curse.
''I understand how you want to help me now. If I'm not wrong, you didn't speak of this solution to Elseria yet. Or you have already done that?"
''No, I haven't told her anything yet. What I'm about to do is more like an experiment. Sorry that you will have to become my guinea pig, but I'm confident in curing you. So, the final decision is up to you.'' Alex told Maria while waiting patiently for her answer.
However, it didn't take even a second before she gave her answer. It was an immediate answer.
''Sure, I will gladly become your guinea pig because I believe in you. You will not harm me as I know how much you love me, so let's begin.'' Maria declared before making herself comfortable.
Seeing how determined she was, any doubt he had left vanished, Alex chuckled before abruptly kissing Maria. Her body stiffened for a moment before gradually relaxing.
''Thank you.'' It's all she said, and Alex smiled in response. As she understood him, the same was applied to him, despite putting on a strong front she was a bit scared something Alex noticed and to help her relax, he kissed her, and it worked like a charm.
''You don't need to do anything; just stay still and relax your body. It will be over soon.'' Alex told Maria not to do anything, and she nodded.
Meanwhile, Alex asked for Silveria's help as she was the most vital part of this treatment. If she messed up, then the worse could happen.
'Sil, please help me. I hope you can make your bullet as harmless as possible; it just needs to erase that curse; no, if possible, I wish to convert it into energy that she might you. Can you do that?'
〖I can, but I want to go on a date as a reward.〗
Silveria's condition surprised Alex; he wondered what had gotten into her but still accepted her condition.
'Okay, deal.'
〖Good, I'm going to eat ice cream so much my belly will hurt. Fufufu! I'm looking forward to our date.〗
Alex, who was worried, felt like an idiot after hearing what Silveria wanted to do during their date.
'Okay, let's begin.' Alex said with Silveria nodding.
''Golden Hour Five Seconds Time!"
Alex immediately activated his time ability freezing Maria; like this, she would not feel anything, aiming the silver gun toward her chest together with Silveria he fired.
''Erase!"
Bang!
The silver bullet penetrated Maria's chest going directly toward the curse; for a moment, Alex could have sworn that the curse that should have been unable to move struggled as thought sensing death approaching, but before it could succeed, the silver bullet exploded to form a net that covered the curse.
Boom!
There was an explosion inside Maria's body; fortunately, Silveria had anticipated this; a part of the silver net got converted into a wall protecting Maria's glass heart while the remaining net pushed the explosion out of Maria's body.
Alex was sent flying by this explosion, and when he stood up, Maria was there floating in the air like a goddess.
