Meanwhile, as for Marie and her group. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Well, let’s get going soon.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie, who had thoroughly enjoyed the fruit tart.
The Princess Riara and the adventurers who were once slaves are nowhere to be found.
ㅤ
ㅤ
They were all sent back to the mortal realm.
The only ones left are the usual crew: Marie, Kaito, and Ose.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『So what are we going to do now? We’ve freed all the slaves trapped in Horai Mountain.』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Including the imperial soldiers who were subordinates of Riara, all the enslaved individuals have been set free.
The only remaining mission is just one.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“We’re heading to Immortal Mountain.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie points to Immortal Mountain, located in the center of Horai Mountain.
The Witch Martha resides there.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Finally. . . . . . We’re going to defeat Martha!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kaito looks on with sparkling eyes.
But Ose notices something.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Drool is trickling from the corner of Marie’s mouth.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Hey Witch-sama, why are you going to Immortal Mountain?』
『To claim a castle made of sweets!』
『What?! What’s this about a castle made of sweets?』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie explains to Ose.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I heard it from the slaves. Martha is building a castle on Immortal Mountain. And that castle is entirely made of sweets!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
As Marie explains, her eyes sparkle like a child’s in front of a snack.
Ose knows this look all too well.
ㅤ
『So what you’re saying is. . . . . . you’re going there to eat Martha’s castle?』
『Exactly. At first, I thought of learning candy transformation magic from Martha, but I’ve already mastered it.』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie has already reverted the cookie figurines back to their original forms.
Having lifted the curse, she understood its structure and made it her own.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『So if you hadn’t heard about the candy castle, were you planning to leave?』
“? Of course.”
『That was really close then. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
If she had found out a little later that Martha was living in a candy castle, Marie would have retreated from Horai Mountain.
Martha’s reign would have continued.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“A castle made of sweets. . . . . . it sounds like a dream! I wonder what it’s like. . . . . . I really want to taste it. . . . . . drool.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie drools uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Ose asks,
ㅤ
ㅤ
『What will you do if Martha refuses to give up the castle?』
『I’ll take it by force!』
『You’re not a witch anymore, you’re a barbarian. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Her idea was indeed barbaric.
Marie’s motive for defeating Martha had apparently shifted from magic to a castle made of sweets.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Well, as long as you’re motivated, that’s what matters. If we leave the Witch alone, the human world will be in serious trouble.』
“You’re pretty reasonable for a demon.”
『That’s because you guys are so unreasonable!』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie and Kaito were the weird ones, making Ose seem relatively good in comparison.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『Let’s go, to Immortal Mountain.』
“Yes, let’s go!”
“Okay!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
And so, Marie and her group set off toward Martha.
