Alois : that's so pretty!!

Reginald is a craftsman who carved small wooden items. He opened a small little shop and sold many types of carved items. He had a little reputation for it. A blind man who carved delicate wooden items.

Alois had picked up the wooden rabbit " so cute. " She goes to the counter " do you have more ?"

Reginald ; sure. I could make.

Alois ; I want to give them as gifts for Easter.

Reginald: that's nice of you.

Alois read the name card on the stand " Reginald Yaeger. .... The yaegar ?"

Reginald: .... Yes ?

Alois : so cool. I've only read about you in a book.

Reginald: a book ?

Alois : hey Erlin.

This was a regular customer to the library. He often came and borrow many books. Usually 5-6 books. To only come back to return and borrow more two days later. He was a very unusual fast reader. But he also always only one genre of books. Books that talked about magic. Anything about magic.

Erlin stopped in his steps " hi Alois. Don't worry. I'll return the books to where they're supposed to be. Won't make trouble for you."

Alois: it's not about that.

Erlin : then...?

Alois :... You read so many books about magic. Is there one that talks about shifting a curse from someone to another person ?

Erlin : well ... Why are you asking that ? You have the access to the same books.

Alois: I don't read as fast as you.

Erlin : well... The library don't have such books unless in the restricted section. Which I'm not allowed it... But I have... Read such a book from a bookstore, a book I bought. The store keeper wouldn't let me browse the entire book.

Alois laughed a little " of course not. "

Erlin ; why ?

Alois :.... If I pay you... Would you help shift a curse ?
