Imagine him cursing you. He's not a fan of you, since you are siblings, but to think he'd go so far as to put a curse on you? You can't believe it. What kind of curse did he put upon you?

Mnemonic

Turns out, he put the no road (のろ) curse on you, meaning you can never walk on roads.

Hints

In your mind, walk around the area where you live. Think about the places you can go that aren't roads. If you try to walk on a road, you can't. This is the no road curse, after all.
