Is this a new save made on version 0.40 or an older one? Anyway, I think I know what the issue is.
I'll release a hotfix tomorrow most likely. If you're on PC, try using the renpy console and enter the following:
er_story1.maphint = {'inactive': "Help Erika lift the curse or get Varess to seduce her.", 'active': "Help Erika lift the curse or get Varess to seduce her."} er_story1.maptags = None
