174 To the Swamp, Part 12 - The White Witch

"Don't be silly! How dare you burn the woods!

"... you blew it..."

As Alphilis trembles, he holds down his slapped cheek. Tears seeped into his eyes.

"Only Miranda is on my side no matter what... I thought so!

"Atashi is still going to be friends with Alfi! But if you don't do the wrong thing..."

"Shut up!! I'll burn all these woods without a trace!

Miranda blew up on the rest of the output as Alphilis freed the magic without restriction with that word. Miranda can be beaten to the tree as it is.

Zun

"Uh..."

Miranda felt uncomfortable on the flank at that moment. If you look, aren't the branches of the tree sticking out of your belly? Swamp tree shapes are distorted, with many strangely curved or pointy areas. Some of them were unluckily stabbed in Miranda's stomach by a flying clap.

"Ugh, what?

"Miranda?"

"Are you all right!?

Lisa and Aerial rush over to Miranda in a hurry. And Lisa stared at Alphilis.

"Alfi! Oh my God to Miranda!

"Lisa, come on... Atashi's immortal, so I'm fine..."

"Is that it? Why is there blood from Miranda...?

Alphilis stood looking at Miranda in a flamboyant manner. Evil has already disappeared from that face.

"(Alphilis looks like...)"

Both Lisa and Aerial noticed that change, but now the Alphilis is looking even stranger.

"No... I did, I did...?

"It's..."

"Also, I did it again...? I... no, not me. I can't believe I killed anyone."

"Alfi? Say what..."

But you haven't even heard Lisa, she's whining about something like every wow while Alphilis makes her face squeal with both hands.

"Miranda is my friend... no, I don't want to hurt anyone or anything... no, don't look at me like that. Guys, don't look... I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster... whoa, whoa, whoa!

With the screaming of Alphilis, I wondered if a strong release of magic had been made from her, and the fire around her had almost gone out. And Alphilis falls on the spot to collapse.

"Ugh, what the hell..."

"How about it!"

The dragon zombie is approaching the alphilis. When Aerial popped out so he could play, he broke in between him and the dragon zombie so as to cover Alphilis on his back. I didn't have time to run away in charge anymore.

"If you want to do it, it's from me!

"Krull."

But the dragon zombie gets close to breathing in Aerial, but no hostility at all. And a little at the tip of his nose desperately pushed Aerial to the side sheltering Alphilis, he slipped over to the falling Alphilis.

"Nostalgia... are you there?

"Whoa, whoa, what the hell is going on here?

Suddenly I heard a squeaky voice from behind a line. When they all looked in the direction of their voices in surprise, there stood one old gray-haired woman dressed in a white robe.

"Stop, Rouge"

With that one voice, the dragon zombie took two or three steps back from the alphilis and sat down with a great deal of people.

"Well, what the hell is going on here? It's unusual for a guest to be in this place.

An old woman turns a blind eye to Miranda. She was just finally pulling a tree branch out of her belly.

"Well, have we met somewhere?

"Did you get bogged down, Granny? It's Atashi, Miranda the Red Ghost. Haven't you died yet?"

"Ho ho, Miranda, hey. This is a nostalgic face. How many years has it been since then?

"I wonder if 140 years has passed... stop saying that 'jichan'. You're not that different from your age, are you?

"It's been a long time since I've seen you. People who don't even sprinkle their own asses, I think, half a serving, huh?

"Don't say ass or anything, Baba"

"That mouth stain, no doubt about it. This is not the place, let me show you where I live. Carry this beast man's daughter and the daughter who's falling over there. I'll give you a allowance. You can walk alone, right?

"Oh, I'm already blocked"

"Right, right. Lana, I don't need your help."

Soon, behind Miranda stood a forward blackening woman. No, I couldn't see a hooded face at all, just because I could tell it was a woman with a name and a faint breast puffiness. When the woman called Larna bowed with a pepper, she followed the scene about the old woman.

Miranda and the others looked at each other, while Aerial held the alphilis, each continuing later.

"I see, that's what happened"

"Oh, the outside world has changed a lot, but has Grandma always been here?

"Fair and, Grandma"

You said you were Miranda, too.

But Miranda's face is somewhere sweet. Haven't you ever felt loose about familiarity with your face in a long time, or the tone was completely back to mercenary stuff.

The dragon zombie, known as Rouge earlier, always sleeps near Fairtoose, and when it's a set time, he flirts somewhere? It's not particularly harmful, and he can't do anything about Fairtoose because he's the type of person who moves with paranoia instead of being taken over by evil spirits. Instead, I listen to myself, and Fairtoose says I keep it at the guard dog mercy. I'm sure the original temper is very quiet. Most of all, as earlier, Rouge said he had never seen Fairtoose move from himself.

Nia and Alphilis had already been allotted, and they both slept in the next room. Nia's sleep is calm, but Alphilis groans at times, so she is tight and Larna is nursing.

To explain Nia's arm, Fairtoose treated me first. They did surgery, including witchcraft to be exact, but medicine is not very well developed yet in this day and age. Miranda and the others didn't know what was going on, but as an assistant, Uty used healing magic, but she seemed to want to be touched.

Speaking of Alphilis, Larna is still hitting the cure. Apparently, Fairtoose is irritating, Alphilis is more serious. In the meantime, until the end of Larna's treatment, Miranda and the others surrounded the furnace with served meals and liquor. Exactly. The white witch's house is completely sanctified, so it's cozy. The house was also wooden and kept in moderate comfort, and there was a line of strange plants and tools that would be used for sorcery.

"Oh, me too."

"You said you must be dead because Wintier hasn't seen you in forever, right?

"I'm still fine. Pitch pitch, 300s."

"Though I'm sure he's dying of a bump."

Oh, and Miranda is drinking the wine she was served. Lisa and Aerial are also a little confused about how she got up on one knee and went back to being a complete mercenary.

"What a grace, because I'm a little immortal."

"Ha-ha. Thanks to you, we don't have a single wrinkle."

"Totally, I can't believe this is Sister. It's the end of the world..."

"Well, why aren't you from this land?"

Miranda asks with interest. I thought so when we met before, and speaking of white witches, they should be witches who made a covenant with the Spirit of the Holy Class. It was a strange story to live in a place like this, unrelated to the sacred attributes.

"I don't like witch connections. No one can ask me if I'm here."

"That's bigotry. Then why are you playing witch?

"The plague is endemic in the land where I was born. The people around him died of bulk. When I was a little girl, I didn't want to die. That's when my predecessor's white witch caught my eye. She wanted to pull it off because of her qualities, but I didn't want to die anyway. I took that offer with all my heart. So try being a witch, and you won't regret it."

"Is that what a witch can do!?

"I just don't want you to tell me!

It's like having a fight if you only heard the words, but the two of them are smiling and having a conversation. These two apparently equine fit.

Lana came out of the next room, folding into conversation like that.
