Shin didn't answer at all. All he did was just smile.
Kira was left expectant and so was Aaron. But oh well, their curiosities subsided when their focus changed to the sufferings of the members again.
"Master Shin, do you know of a way to cure this curse?", Aaron asked.
"Cure the curse?"
"..."
"Ah, you mean, a way to lift the curse?", Shin asked.
"Yes...", Aaron was worried because he had no idea about curses.
"Hmm, well, the easiest way to lift the curse is to find the one who cursed them...", was what Shin said.
Both, Kira and Aaron's eyes widened.
But they had no idea who it was, at least, Kira wasn't aware of it. However, Aaron might have known it all along.
"Tell me Aaron, since when did they start to suffer?", Shin asked.
Aaron, thought for a bit and after recalling, said, "Uh, it was a week ago..."
"I'm sure of it, they have been suffering for a week..."
Shin heard it clearly and then started to think about it. He didn't want to jump into baseless conclusions so he kept inquiring or questioning Aaron.
"Hmm, if the curse took effect a week ago, did something happen around that time?", Shin asked.
"Something...?", Aaron was confused about what Shin wanted to know.
"Yes, something out of the ordinary...", Shin said.
Aaron wondered about it for a while but found nothing out of the ordinary that had happened in the past week.
"I don't recall something unordinary happening..."
"We didn't even fight for the last whole month...", was what Aaron said.
"Hmm..."
Shin wondered about what he said. But if Aaron found nothing suspicious then how could Shin found who wasn't present to experience it.
"Wait, did you say that your clan didn't have any wars for the past one month?", Shin asked.
"Yes.", Aaron nodded his head.
"So you mean to say that you had a war last month?", Shin asked.
"..."
Aaron looked towards Kira and nodded his head.
Shin was confused by such an action but he thought not to mind that.
"We did..."
"Wait..."
It seemed like Aaron finally realized something after thinking about the war.
"...", Shin could see Aaron's expression changing continuously.
First he was surprised or shocked as if he realized some hidden truth right after that he could see rage covering Aaron's eyes.
Killing intent started to get released from him soon after that. It was as if he was getting ready to kill someone just by recalling something.
"Is something wrong?", Shin asked while looking at Kira. He thought that Kira might have some idea about this and he was absolutely right.
Kira knew why Aaron was getting angry. It seemed like it was some incident that had happened a month ago, even before Shin had arrived in this world!
"Yes master Shin, actually...", Kira thought about explaining what had happened in reality.
However it seemed like he was hesitating because he wanted Aaron to relay the incident directly to him.
"Master Shin...", Aaron understood what Kira wanted.
He calmed himself for the time being and then started to narrate everything that had happened at least according to him.
"I'm sure of it, this is the work of Giol...", was what Aaron said.
It was another new name which Shin wasn't aware of.
"Giol? Who is that?", Shin asked.
"Master Shin, Giol is a wolf just like us, but he is of a complete different attribute..."
Yet again, that was mysterious. A new attribute which was different from Kira as well Aaron!
"Second brother Kira is of Dark Attribute...", Aaron said.
'Wow, that's news to me...', indeed, this was the first time he heard what type Kira was.
Up until now he had been assuming that Kira was yet another Warrior wolf but a highly evolved version. Warrior wolves are of physical types and do not hold any special characteristics, at least not until they undergo further evolution.
"And I am Earth attribute..."
"But Giol on the contrary is Shadow Attribute who specializes in curses..."
The moment Aaron said that, everything became clear to Shin. But for a moment he couldn't distinguish between a Dark Attribute and a Shadow Attribute.
However on further thinking about that he was able to understand them. Also, Aaron explained it to clarify.
"Unlike Dark attribute that specializes in Dark Magic when their power increases by several folds during night time, Shadow magic utilizes the power of Death."
"In order words, a Shadow wolf can also be called as a Grim Reaper or Death wolf that inflicts curses on whomever it desires."
When Aaron explained and distinguished them, it became clearer.
"In the last war, we had to fight against the clan of Gior whose leader is none other than Giol!", Aaron grit his teeth when he said that.
It was obvious and clear that it was Giol who inflicted curse.
"The battle ended rather quickly and since then they didn't attack till now..."
When Aaron said that, Kira and Shin started to think the reasons for it.
Although, something was definitely suspicious because the time of attack of the Bears also happened within a span of a month!
"I've also heard that 3rd brother was attacked by a hoard of Ogres last week...", Aaron said while looking at Kira.
Now the suspicion increased. It was as if someone was trying to wage wars but with different clans.
It was as if some sort of Clan Wars was happening or was soon to happen.
However, right now the method to lift the curse had to be discovered because they couldn't possibly go and beg Giol to lift the curses. Also, attack the Gior clan would be far too dangerous right now since the situation wasn't confirmed.
'Well, I guess as soon as I get rid of these curse, I would be able to ask much more questions about the world...', Shin thought.
'Ah, maybe...'
'Maybe he can help...'
'Sigh, this will be the second time asking for his help...', Shin sighed.
"Hmm, alright, give me a day's time, I will figure out a way to lift the curse.", Shin said boldly after thinking something.
