Bang! !
There was a loud slamming of the door, causing the whole room to tremble slightly.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
Then, of course, a little girl who was curled up in bed and sleeping until the sun was shining on her buttocks without thinking about getting up was woken up.
"??"
?|?'-'?)?
"Hey! Irena, what's wrong with you? You lost your temper so early in the morning. It's so normal. Who provoked you?"
(っ?-?)
Anne poked half her head out of the bed and asked strangely towards a certain 'genius witch' who was walking in angrily.
Because it was very cold outside and she had nothing to do, she originally planned to sleep in this chic little hotel until the afternoon before getting up, but as a result, the hateful guy in front of her slammed the door again as soon as he came back. He was pacing back and forth angrily again, and it was hard not to wake her up.
"No one!"
"I was just deceived by a nasty guy!"
"besides!"
"It's getting late now, it's already past noon!!"
Irena sat directly on the chair in front of the window, her shoulders undulating sharply, looking very angry.
She just went to see it, and her mission target disappeared early the next morning before dawn. The other party left the city on his own. She knew where the other party went because she had tracked it with magic. and found the place where the other party lives now, which is a house in the forest.
but……
Irena was not happy at all. That was not because her mission ended before she could proceed, but because... Irena felt that she had been extremely seriously deceived again, in a naked way. Extremely insulting deception!
All in all, this was the fourth incident in which she had been deceived during her days as a traveling witch!
First, there was Saya who deliberately bumped into her, then hid her witch badge and pretended to have a 'accidental encounter' with her in that shabby hotel, then to the man-eating flower sea monster who tricked her into sending flowers, and then again Mira Rose, the princess of a country without people...and now, an ordinary official in this so-called merchant city has actually played a trick on her?
This is the fourth time...
Is it possible that they really thought that she, the youngest genius witch in history, whose beauty and talent radiated radiance, could not lose to the colorful flowers, bloomed like a flower, was as beautiful and cute as a doll, Irena Is she really that easy to deceive, that anyone can play tricks on her?
What made her even more frightened was that those people, who didn't know what methods they used or what plots they wanted to plot against her, actually tampered with the memories of so many people around her, and then seemed to want to use this to... To mislead her in some way?
Although Irena still can't figure out why, her rich 'experience' tells her that those guys may have ulterior motives, and there must be some conspiracy that she can't guess. That's right!
And this is the reason why Irena went out to confirm the situation of the mission target, and then came back angry.
"???"
(???.???)????
"What on earth is going on..."
(°ー°〃)
After being tormented like this by the other party, Anne was completely sleepy, so she simply sat up from the bed, wrapped in a warm quilt, with only one face exposed, and then angrily faced someone sitting in front of the window. asked the guy blowing the cold wind.
"What else can happen?"
"It's not the commission I told you last night. Teacher, you should still remember it, right?"
Irena, who managed to lose her temper a little and gradually calmed down, began to think while impatiently dealing with a certain lazy little guy.
"??"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Did you say anything about your commission last night? It seems like people haven't been paying attention... What's the interesting thing?"
(??ω???‖)?
Annie remembered that someone did talk to her last night, but at that time, after eating and drinking, she just wanted to wrap herself up in a quilt and sleep, so she had no time. Pay attention to what nonsense the other party said at that time?
"!!"
"you!!"
Irena, who had just calmed down, was a little angry at Anne again.
"snort!"
"Forget it! I won't tell you anymore!!"
When they fell asleep last night, there was a gap in the bed between them, in the darkness, the other party had obviously been responding with "hmm" and listening to what she said, but now, the other party actually said that she didn't pay attention at all. So what she said last night was all in vain?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"What's going on? Can you tell me?"
?(*??▽??)????
"..."
However, Irena didn't answer, she was just sulking, but... was she angry with the guys who lied to her, or was she angry with her terrible little teacher? I couldn't decide for the time being. And know it.
"Hello!"
|?˙?˙)?
Rarely, Annie crawled over from the bed, and then moved closer to the other person curiously, wanting to know more.
"snort!"
Irena stood up directly.
"Stop talking!"
"This matter... I must find out clearly today! Teacher, just continue to sleep on your own, I will go find them now and ask them carefully!"
"I want to see what kind of lies those guys can tell when faced with a beautiful witch who is powerful, confident, intelligent and extremely angry?"
After finishing speaking and thinking clearly, without waiting for her little teacher to ask again, Irena turned around, ignoring her teacher's dull little face, and walked out in a hurry. He went to the room and slammed the wooden door of the room again.
Bang! !
"..."
!(;?o?)o
"What's going on? Why do I always feel a little weird..."
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
Seeing the other party leaving in a hurry, Anne had no choice but to sit alone on her little bed, staring blankly at the closed door, and then hurried downstairs listening to the other party's hurried footsteps. Go and walk outside the hotel, step on the thick snow and walk quickly towards the street.
"Um……"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Forget it! We're all awake anyway, although it's still a little early, but let's go and see the excitement!!"
??(′?｀?)???
If the other party had said it directly, Anne might not be so curious. However, if the other party didn't say anything, she would follow him to see what he was seeing!
"Let's go, Tibbers!"
???(?)????
"Let's go and see what's going on?"
-=????=?????(?)?
So, she jumped out of bed and quickly put on her clothes. After using magic to clean herself up and down, she quickly picked up her little bear and followed a certain guy's footprints, jumping up and down. He followed him out.
(…)
(lll￢?￢)
(There is no doubt that Tibbs the Bear obviously knows what is going on, but...since his bad little master doesn't come to ask him, then naturally he doesn't bother to explain, anyway, it's not the case) What a big deal, love it!)
…
In a certain place, the skin is more crystal clear than the ice and snow in winter, and even the snowflakes can't help but melt with shame when they touch it. The genius and beautiful traveling witch holds the magic wand and kills menacingly towards a certain house in the city, preparing to find someone. Human trouble, when a little guy who is afraid of chaos in the world is wearing a blue and white winter coat, carrying a stuffed toy bear in his hand, jumping behind with short legs, at their destination, at In a big house at the end of the street, a city official wearing black clothes and a black top hat was also surprised by the same thing.
'what are you saying? '
'Milina...she came back to life? ! '
'this……'
'This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! ! '
'What nonsense! ! '
'She has been dead for more than a month, how can she still survive? What kind of crazy things are you talking about? It doesn’t matter if that poor child Ailijie is crazy, aren’t you also crazy? ! '
'What? '
'Did you see it with your own eyes? '
'They ran out of the city gate early in the morning before dawn? But why didn't you stop her? ! '
Obviously, after hearing the report from his subordinates, the black-clothed official who had gone to issue a commission to Irena, intending to ask Irena to take away a poor orc girl who was crazy, was so shocked that he left his office. He stood up from his position with a look of disbelief.
It's no wonder that a corpse that has been dead for at least more than a month, has begun to turn black, rotten, and exudes a foul smell, no normal person would believe that it can come back to life, at least in this world. , he has never heard of anyone having such ability!
'gentlemen! '
'How dare we stop it? We were all terrified...'
'As you know, it has been more than a month since Milina was killed. Usually we don't dare to get too close to their home for fear of seeing the horrible corpse... But who would have thought that in the morning At that time, she happened to appear with Ailijie, chatting and laughing, and carrying a large and small luggage package. We didn’t know what it was. It was dark and we felt scared when we looked at it. Where? Dare you stop me again? '
'But we just went to see her house. Ailijie is indeed not there, and the body is not there either. Some things and clothes have been packed away. As for whether we saw a body or something else in the morning, we are not sure. I can guarantee it. '
Facing the boss's doubts, another city official who looked a little nervous and a little confused said this.
'Well……'
'Could it be the witch's method? Did she use some kind of magic to deceive Alijie and you, allowing her to leave the city with the body? '
'Although this method does seem to be quite effective, but...'
'well! '
'Forget it, I know about that. You go down. I guess it may be some illusion magic of Miss Irena, the traveling witch. So, if you can, don't spread it. I will take care of things properly. '
'You guys go out first. '
After thinking for a while and unable to think of a reason, the man in black finally reluctantly gave himself a reasonable explanation, then waved his hand to indicate to the officials who came to report to him that they could go out.
'yes! '
'Sir, I'll get busy first...'
The person who came to report nodded, bowed slightly and then exited the office.
However, after a while, he actually walked in again, making the man in black who was thinking about it couldn't help but be startled.
'What's wrong with you? What else is going on? '
'ah! '
'Is that the witch lady here? '
'so fast……'
'Ah! I guess they are here to ask for commission rewards, right? Forget it, let her come in. Since she has completed the commission and has not harmed Ailijie, we should indeed give her the reward as agreed. '
'Remember to be respectful, that witch lady's abilities are extraordinary...'
The commission was completed in just one night, and it was completed with some ingenious means that they could not imagine. It was indeed beyond their imagination, so it was appropriate to be a little more respectful.
"Hello, powerful Miss Irena Witch, please sit down!"
"And this..."
"Apprentice Anne?"
Soon, when Irena, who looked a little unhappy, and a little girl who insisted on joining in the fun arrived, the man in black led the two of them into his office and arranged them next to a small table. sit down.
"Ahem!"
"She's not some apprentice!"
"She is my teacher, and she is also the great witch Anne Hastur, who has been unanimously recognized by the witch elders of the country of magicians. Don't make this mistake again!"
Because of her bad mood, Irena spoke in a rather rude tone, speaking directly to the old guy in front of her, who she thought had seriously deceived her.
If she hadn't been able to figure out why the other party deceived her into accepting that commission, and what he wanted to do from her, she would have called in directly, and how could she have said so much to the other party? nonsense?
"Big, big witch?"
"Or your teacher, Your Majesty the Witch?!"
Hearing that the little girl looking around in front of him had such an extraordinary status, the man in black couldn't help but exclaimed.
"How rude, Your Excellency the Great Witch?"
Although he didn't know what kind of existence the 'Great Witch' was, since it was said by this official witch and it was certified by the country of magicians, the man in black obviously had no reason to question it and just said respectfully. He also bowed to Anne, and asked his assistant to bring them a cup of coffee and a snack respectively. Then he turned around and walked to his desk, then opened the cabinet and started rummaging around for something.
"..."
(ー`′ー)
"It's this kind of stuff again, it's bitter and doesn't taste good at all!"
(￢д￢.)
After smelling the drink on the table and finding that it was something she didn't like, Annie pushed it aside in disgust and ate the snack instead.
It just so happened that she just got up and didn't have time to eat breakfast and lunch. Now that there is food here, it can just fill her belly.
"This is the commission agreed upon before, please take a look."
Soon, the official in black brought over a small bag of silver coins, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Irena.
"Thank you very much, Miss Irena, for your intervention and using a relatively peaceful method to send away that poor child Ailijie, but..."
"I don't know where you sent her. Can you tell me?"
Although I don’t know what kind of magic Irena used, no matter what, the commission was completed relatively smoothly and efficiently. He must pay the promised reward now, otherwise, he will anger someone It is not a wise thing for a witch to have a 'big witch' whose abilities are unknown.
"!!"
"W-what?"
Irena, who had been sitting with a frown on her face, thinking of saying a few polite words to the other party first, and then directly showing off her cards and questioning the other party, was immediately confused by the other party's question, and just looked at the person pushed over by the other party in a daze. Bag of coins.
"etc!"
"What on earth do you mean?!"
After a while, Irena finally came back to her senses, but instead of taking the coins from the bag, she looked at the other party inexplicably.
If it makes sense that the other party deceived and used her to achieve some ulterior purpose, then what happened now that the other party suddenly said that he had fulfilled the commission and wanted to pay her. ?
Anyway, Irena became even more confused at this time, and even the resentment she had before coming here could not help but fade a lot, and was replaced by doubts and more confusion.
"What's the meaning?"
"But...Miss Irena, isn't this the reward I should pay you for completing the commission?"
The man in black was also a little confused. He didn't know what was going on with Irena's reaction.
"!!"
"Who told you that I completed the commission? I obviously didn't do anything!"
"besides!"
"What's the matter with you deliberately deceiving and misleading me and giving me wrong information? That orc girl's sister, that Milina, is not dead at all!"
"What happened to them and what they did? Why did you lie to me, a witch, and ask me to drive them away?"
"Say it!!"
Irena said angrily, and at the same time summoned her wand in her hand, ready to take action at any time, planning to let these guys who dare to deceive her know the power of her "Grey Witch"?
"Nothing!"
"I'm pretty sure that Milina died a month ago... The person who killed her that night more than a month ago is still being held in jail without trial!"
"etc……"
"This is wrong!"
"Miss Irena, you said you didn't do anything? But...but just now the city gate officials came to report that Ailijie and the others left the city early this morning before dawn. You didn't confuse them with some kind of magic. Ailijie, did you let her go on her own?"
Listening, the officials in black clothes were also a little confused.
He had always thought that Irena had used some powerful magic to manipulate and confuse Ellie, making her think that Milena was alive again, and then letting her take Milena's body with her, who could 'act' on her own. The corpse left the city, but now as he listened, he realized that the situation was not what he imagined?
"What a mess!"
"I didn't do anything! Moreover, I am very sure that Milina is indeed alive. She is not dead. She is a living person. I did not use any magic to confuse them!"
"On the contrary, you guys, you guys, deliberately provided wrong information to mislead me, asked me to complete that inexplicable commission, and gave me such a large sum of money for no reason..."
"explain!"
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
After speaking, the tip of the wand in Irena's hand began to sparkle, and she began to prepare to use force to coerce the other party to honestly answer all the questions she wanted to know.
"!!"
"M-Your Majesty Witch, what are you doing?"
"We didn't lie to you. What happened to Ailijie and Milina were really not your fault?"
"But……"
"I'm pretty sure that Milina is indeed dead. She can't be alive. I swear..."
"Hello!!"
The man in black didn't have time to finish his words before he backed away in panic and looked at Irena in horror.
'W-what do you want to do? ! '
Because at this time, she had already raised the wand in her hand expressionlessly and was about to cast some kind of magic on him? However, there was nothing rude about him, and he didn't deduct the other party's commission. Why did the other party suddenly take action?
"Since you refuse to tell the truth, I have to find the answer myself!"
"Wake up!"
?
Legilimency!
As she waved her hand, a bright light flashed, and Irena struck directly at the man in black, at the person who entrusted the mission, and at the city official's head.
However, after a while, Irena fell silent again.
Because she discovered from the memory she obtained that the person in front of her seemed to have really not deceived her. The memory she had just obtained was basically consistent with the information she had investigated last night?
Unless the guy in front of her knows advanced Occlumency, and then uses Occlumency to create false memories to deceive her? However, Occlumency is not a magic in this world, and the other party has no magic power. She does not believe that the other party has that level of ability!
"..."
"Strange……"
Therefore, there seems to be only one possibility for this matter, and that is: that Milina is indeed dead, and that Ailijie is indeed crazy because she can't stand the stimulation, but...what happened last night? , to bring that little orc girl who was supposed to be dead back to life?
Irena was very puzzled and interested in this!
Because, even the most powerful witch cannot resurrect a person who has been dead for more than a month. Anyway, from what Irena has learned so far, there should be no such person in this world. !
However……
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
What Irena didn't know was that at this moment, a little girl who was eating snacks, after understanding the basic situation and why Irena was angry, suddenly pretended to be inadvertent and turned her head away. , acting weirdly like he doesn’t know anything and it’s none of her business?
