Marie arrived at the residence of Martha, the Witch of Jealousy.
However, she didn’t go to meet the witch; instead, she stopped in front of the witch’s castle.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Nom. . . . . . munch munch. . . . . . So good!!!!!!!!!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Martha’s castle is a castle made of sweets.
Everything that makes up the castle is confectionery.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“This, munch munch. . . . . . cookie castle wall! Gobble gobble. . . . . . It’s too delicious!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The castle stands at the center, surrounded by walls.
Between the castle’s main structure and the walls, there’s a moat, and a river of hot chocolate flows through it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The castle looks like several layered cakes stacked on top of each other.
The walls are made of cookie dough.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie quickly nibbles through the castle walls.
ㅤ
“Moreover. . . . . . nom nom. . . . . . these cookies! They are made of various types of. . . . . . munch munch. . . . . . cookies, so I never get bored of the taste!!!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Upon closer inspection, the walls are made of various types of cookies like chocolate cookies, matcha cookies, etc., each with a different color and taste.
Marie continues to eat the castle walls as if she were a termite.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Witch-sama! I pulled chocolate from the chocolate river and made chocolate fondue!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
With the addition of Kaito, an expert cook and confectioner, things at Martha’s castle progress efficiently?
Kaito had borrowed a magic tool from Marie.
ㅤ
ㅤ
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary pot, but by placing a marker in the water, an infinite amount of water can be transferred into the pot.
Using this magic tool, Kaito made the chocolate fondue.
ㅤ
ㅤ
By leaving the marker in the chocolate river, the pot magically fills with an endless supply of chocolate.
He breaks the castle walls’ cookies into bite-sized pieces and hands them to Marie.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“What?! Chocolate fondue?! How do you eat it?”
“You dip things like cookies and marshmallows into this overflowing chocolate and eat it!”
“What is this super happy and ultra-fun-looking sweet?!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie decided to actually give it a try.
She dips a cookie into the overflowing chocolate and puts it in her mouth. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Ahhhhhh, so goooood!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The warm, raw chocolate-covered cookie.
Each bite gives a crispy texture along with the sweet flavor of hot chocolate; it tasted amazing.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Witch-sama! Not just cookies, but marshmallows and fruits also go well with it!”
“Are you a genius?!”
“Thank you!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
As he sticks marshmallows and dried fruits onto skewers, Kaito giggles.
Who provided these items, and from where, you ask?
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Hurry! Work for the sake of Lady Witch who is besieging the castle! Everyone’s items!”
“””Yes!”””
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie’s minions. . . . . . I mean, Princess Riara of the Empire and soldiers like Keel were the ones working.
Having once returned to the mortal world, they came back to Mount Horai at Marie’s request.
ㅤ
ㅤ
The reason was, as you can see, to assist Marie with her meal.
The soldiers enter the castle through the holes in the walls (created by Marie’s eating) and bring the sweets attached to the castle to Kaito.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kaito is using those sweets to make even more confections.
ㅤ
“Incredible, this magical tool I borrowed from Lady Witch! It can effortlessly break through the castle walls!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie lent tools like pickaxes and shovels to the Imperial soldiers for the purpose of mining sweets.
These tools have basic supportive magic applied to them, such as physical enhancements.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Thanks to that, the soldiers were able to quickly carve out parts from the candy castle.
Kaito processes those sweets, and Marie eats them delightfully.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Marshmallows and hot chocolate go together so well! Delicious!”
“Witch-sama! How about s’mores?”
“What the heck are s’mores!”
“It’s complete when you sandwich a bit of melted marshmallow and chocolate between cookies!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie takes the s’more from Kaito and bites into it.
The marshmallow and chocolate melt together in her mouth, a sweetness so intense it’s almost dizzying attacks her.
ㅤ
ㅤ
However, the crunchiness of the cookie perfectly accents the flavor, preventing it from feeling overly rich.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Whoaaa. . . . . . ♡ I love s’mores. . . . . . ♡”
ㅤ
Marie sports an ecstatic smile as she is served one luxurious confection after another by Kaito.
Riara, seeing this, issues commands to the soldiers.
ㅤ
“Message! It seems she wants more s’mores! Mine for more marshmallows and cookies from the castle!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Thanks to the presence of Commander Riara, Marie doesn’t even have to voice her requests; the sweets she desires automatically appear.
Kaito continuously makes s’mores and hands them to Marie.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Marie takes each one and pops it into her mouth within seconds.
Ose is speechless at how Marie is consuming the sweets as if they were water.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Truly worthy of Lady Witch! Who else would think of conquering Martha’s castle with such imaginative ideas! No one else could come up with this!”
『Well, even if someone did, they normally wouldn’t go through with it. . . . . .』
ㅤ
ㅤ
Ose sighs in disbelief.
He is astounded as he watches the sweets made by Kaito continuously disappear into Marie’s stomach.
ㅤ
ㅤ
『How much does she like sweets. . . . . .』
“I love Martha’s castle♡ So many snacks, I love it♡”
ㅤ
ㅤ
However, Marie simply eating snacks leads to misunderstandings from those around her.
In other words, the impression forms that Marie alone is conquering Witch Martha’s castle. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“For Lady Witch, we shall work our fingers to the bone!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Princess Riara is inspired by Marie’s gallant figure and says with a vigorous nod,
ㅤ
ㅤ
“To satisfy Lady Witch, we shall work like beasts of burden!”
“””Yes!”””
ㅤ
ㅤ
Ose watches all this and thinks, 『You don’t have to try so hard. . . . . .』, but his voice goes unheard.
