Maru: Are cursed spirits really that strong?

Yuuka: It varies a lot. Way more irregular than sorcerers.

Panel 3 – Left

Yuuka: With that many things crawling around, the former capital is now called this.

Sorcerer A: Nice, that’s 10 points for me～

Sorcerer B: No way, that’s worth 5. It’s the same size as the one I took down earlier, isn’t it?
