“Once again, thank you for helping me, Miss Witch.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
After Kaito made quiche and brought it over, Marie eagerly ate for a while.
A silver-haired beautiful girl then appeared in front of the group and bowed her head.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“You are. . . . . . could you be Louri-dono?”
“That’s right. I’m Louri, the guardian.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Princess Riara is astonished at Louri’s drastic transformation.
Just a moment ago, he was a white dragon of immense stature.
ㅤ
ㅤ
But now, he’s a lovely silver-haired beautiful girl who appears to be around 15 years old.
. . . . . .Well, Marie is completely uninterested in such a change.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie is hogging all of Kaito’s homemade quiche.
She grabs a mountain of quiche piled on her plate and eats it with a crunch.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Mmmmmmmmm~♡ Excellent! The crust is crispy and the cream is melty! There are lots of vegetables inside, and their sweetness makes it super delicious!”
“Thank you, Witch-sama!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Ignoring the Witch who’s casually eating, the demon Ose asks,
ㅤ
ㅤ
『So, what’s the relationship between you and the gluttonous Witch over there?』
“We have a connection from a past life. She once lived in the Forbidden Library for a while.”
“Oh, why’s that?”
“She was an apprentice under 【The Original Magician Vrimir】.”
『The Original. . . . . .Magician?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Nodding, Louri explains.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Vrimir was the first person to study magic in this world.”
『W, What. . . . . .? The first to study magic? Isn’t he from a long, long time ago then?』
“Yes. When the Goddess created this world and popularized magic, Vrimir was chosen as the evangelist.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
An unimaginably long time has passed since the world was created.
If he were still alive, he would be extraordinarily old.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Vrimir had seven apprentices. Among them, the most talented, chosen by Vrimir herself as the next 【Wise One】, was. . . . . . Marie.”
『So. . . . . .she was recognized by such an incredible person and was an amazing magician. . . . . .that woman. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
All eyes are on Marie.
Marie glares back and says,
ㅤ
“I’m not sharing the quiche. It’s all mine.”
“”. . . . . .””
ㅤ
ㅤ
It was hard to believe she was the Wise One (Ose & Keel though).
Ose gathers himself and asks,
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What do you mean by the Wise One?』
“The Wise One is the highest-ranking magician. The right to use Vrimir’s leftover Relics is granted to the Wise One.”
『Relics. . . . . .?』
“Special magic tools. Horai Mountain is one of them.”
ㅤ
Ose’s eyes widened in surprise.
ㅤ
『W, Wait a minute. The appearance of Horai Mountain wasn’t something Witch-sama intended.』
“. . . . . .That’s right. That’s where the Witch of Jealousy comes in.”
『The Witch of Jealousy. . . . . .you mean the one who turned you into a monster?』
“Yes. I was done in by the Witch of Jealousy, Martha.”
『Witch of Jealousy. . . . . .Martha』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Ose takes a quick glance.
Marie stops eating her quiche and looks at Louri.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Did Martha show up here?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
From the way Marie speaks, Ose sensed that they seem to know each other.
But there’s nothing strange about it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie has reincarnated and come to the modern world.
Perhaps she met Martha in a previous life.
ㅤ
ㅤ
That being the case, this Martha person must be quite old.
Is it even possible for someone to live that long. . . . . .?
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Martha is an elf. She’s very, very jealous.”
『Yeah. . . . . . an elf. . . . . . But Witch-sama, aren’t you above elves in terms of magical prowess?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
It is said that Vrimir had seven apprentices.
So, Marie and Martha were both under the same master.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The fact that Marie received the title of “The Wise One” from Vrimir, despite the elven Martha. . . . . .
Means Marie had skills that surpassed Martha’s.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Above elves? How powerful is she. . . . . .』
“That’s amazing! As expected of Witch-sama!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Even when complimented, Marie doesn’t seem pleased.
Rather, she distorts her face as if annoyed.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . . Martha will likely interfere.”
“True. Since you broke her curse, it must have rebounded on her.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie sighs with visible irritation.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Fine. I’ll deal with Martha and put her in her place.”
“! Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you! I don’t even know how to express my gratitude!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
For Louri, who was entrusted with the protection of the Forbidden Library and Horai Mountain, Martha is nothing but a menace.
But Louri had been defeated by Martha before.
ㅤ
ㅤ
With no other option, Louri had to rely on Marie, a magician of equal or greater skill.
But Louri knew of Marie’s self-centered nature.
ㅤ
ㅤ
She had given up on the idea that she would help.
However, Marie willingly agreed, to her gratitude.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Truly, Lady Witch is wonderful! To pick up the wand for the weak, even when the opponent is an evil witch! How brave!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Princess Riara was so moved she started to cry.
But Ose (and Keel) understood as well.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie would never fight for someone else.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m doing this because it will be a hassle if I don’t.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Even these words sound like tsundere lines to the believers.
And so, Marie set off to subdue the Witch of Jealousy Martha.
