They found out that there are other farms besides Peach Garden where captives are being forced to work like slaves.
After receiving information from the cookie figurines, Marie heads to the next farm.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『This is it! There are other humans held captive here too. . . . . .!』
“Alright, take this!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie shatters the barrier protecting the farm.
She enters and raises her voice.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“If you value your lives, hand over the apples!”
『She’s acting like a complete robber. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
While Ose is dumbfounded, the humanoid trees guarding the farm start appearing one after another.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Who the hell are you. . . . . .!』
“As you can see.”
『An intruder!』
“No, that’s not it.”『Actually, it is. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie smirks and points her finger.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Leave this place quietly. I’ll spare your lives.”
『Enough with the nonsense! Guys, attack, attack!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The humanoid trees within the farm swarm towards Marie.
But Marie snaps her fingers.
ㅤ
CRACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What?! All the humanoid trees are frozen in an instant?! Was that a grand magic. . . . . . Absolute Zero Coffin?』
“No, just a regular 【Freeze】.”
『Freezing fifty humanoid trees in an instant with a beginner spell. . . . . . that’s amazing. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie neutralizes the humanoid trees.
The slaves, who are cookie dolls, watch her from the shadows.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Who. . . . . . who are you?』
『Are you guys alright?!』
『! From Peach Garden. . . . . .?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
It appears that the slaves from the apple orchard and Peach Garden know each other.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What’s going on? Who is that person. . . . . .?』
『Our savior has arrived!』
『Oh! Help has come! Thank you. . . . . . so much. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Tears stream down the faces of the slaves.
Ose sighs upon seeing this.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『They would cry if they knew she just came to steal apples. . . . . .』
“You guys, the slaves working here?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie looks at the captured cookies.
The cookies nod.
ㅤ
“From today, this island is mine.”
『『『Yes!』』』
“For now, go collect the apples.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
It was then.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『So you’re the intruder. . . . . .!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The ground of the farm rises, and something enormous emerges.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『That’s a huge mole.』
『Buggiggi! I am one of Martha’s familiars! The mole of. . . . . .』
“Annoying.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie thrusts her right hand forward.
In an instant, a mysterious transparent force hits the giant mole hard in the belly.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Bubeeeraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The giant mole is blown away into the distance.
Nobody present seems to understand what just happened.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『W, Witch-sama. . . . . . what did you do?』
“I just knocked it away with a Wind Hammer.”
『Ah, you used magic. . . . . . but you didn’t defeat it?』
“Yes, it’s not edible.”
『As always, you only categorize magical creatures by whether you can eat them or not. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
For Marie, combat is essentially a means to gather ingredients for delicious meals.
But a mole isn’t something you can eat.
ㅤ
ㅤ
So Marie chose not to defeat it, but to blow it away.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『But it mentioned being one of Martha’s familiar. It sounded like there are others as well?』
“Well, what are you all doing standing around? Go collect the apples.”
『Hey, listen!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
The slaves joyfully start collecting apples.
Marie watches them and is quite pleased.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“With this, I’ve scored some delicious fruit again. . . . . .”
『Hey, are you sure about this? You didn’t finish off that guy earlier. What if information leaks to the other side?』
“? So what? If it leaks, we’ll just counterattack, that’s all.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Stunned by the audacious behavior, Ose is taken aback.
Meanwhile, the slaves see hope in Marie’s strong demeanor.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Witch-sama will save us!』
『Thank you, Witch-sama!!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
But Marie had absolutely no intention of saving the enslaved people.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Please don’t misunderstand. I have absolutely no intention of saving you.”
『『『I see, you’re a tsundere!』』』
『My head’s starting to hurt from all this stupidity. . . . . .』
