Reincarnated Witch’s Carefree Gourmet Journey – Chapter 130

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐯𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡

With the Castle of Sweets behind them, Marie and Martha face off.

Martha perches on a large eagle made of candy, looking down at Marie.

Meanwhile, Marie stands on the ground, gripping an Elderberry Divine Wand in her hand.

“You all, step back. You’re in the way.”

“!”

At Marie’s words, Kaito attempts to object.

He was about to assert that he would fight as well.

However, Kaito catches his breath when he looks at Martha.

The wave of magical power emanating from Martha.

It was something similar to what Marie had.

In a world where magic had dwindled, these witches would hold a higher level of strength.

He, just a mere chef, couldn’t possibly intervene between these two powerful individuals.

Rather, it was clear that he would only get in the way.

Gritting his teeth so hard that blood almost comes out, Kaito bites his lower lip in frustration.

Seeing this, Ose sighs and gently taps Kaito’s foot with his tail.

『Kid, your loyalty is admirable, but give it up.』

“. . . . . .Yes, understood.”

Kaito and Ose head toward the gallery, where Riara and the others are.

Marie releases her grip on the wand.

The wand floats gently through the air, heading above Kaito and the others.

From there, a magical barrier unfolds.

Centered on the wand, a hemispherical barrier fully guards the gallery.

“. . . . . .You’ve become quite kind to people for a selfish witch, haven’t you.”

Martha knows about Marie’s past life.

How her family was killed by the Demon King, and how she was solely focused on mastering magic for revenge.

A woman who found no interest or purpose in life other than magical training. . . . . .

Appeared before her, possessing what she do not have.

It seemed to irritate her.

Meanwhile, Marie calmly responds.

“Don’t get me wrong. I haven’t become kind to people.”

She protected Kaito because she didn’t want to lose an excellent chef who provides delicious food.

She guarded the others because they would get in the way of the fight.

Well, in the end, it was Marie’s kindness toward people.

『You’re not honest at all, Witch-sama.』

Ose chuckles with a wry smile.

Kaito, and even Princess Riara, believed in Marie.

“Thank you, Lady Witch. . . . . .! Not only for protecting us but for also vowing to defeat the evil witch. We are deeply grateful!”

Marie merely glances at Riara, not responding.

Because she felt an even stronger magical power emanating from Martha.

“Done with your last words before dying? Then. . . . . . die. . . . . .!!!!!!”

Martha pulls out the stick candy she had been holding and points its tip towards Marie.

“Wide Area Deployment!”

Numerous Magic Circles materialize in the air, surrounding Marie.

“Pierce! Magic Arrow. . . . . .!”

Magic Arrow. A spell that launches an arrow made of magical power at the speed of light.

When an average magician uses it, the power is about as strong as an adult’s punch.

. . . . . .But that’s only if an average magician uses it.

Countless magic arrows surround Marie.

They are fired towards Marie at an astonishing speed.

Zugagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!!!!!

『Wha, what kind of power. . . . . .! This is beyond the level of Magic Arrow!』

“It’s like a meteor shower raining down on the earth. . . . . .!”

Both Ose and Princess Riara are astonished.

Magic Arrows are relentlessly raining down, attempting to kill Marie.

『Hey hey hey! How long is this gonna last!』

“Lady Witch. . . . . .!!!!!!”

Even if a single arrow isn’t that strong, with this number, even Marie would surely die if hit continuously.

Eventually. . . . . . silence ensues.

There should have been a forest surrounding the castle. But now. . . . . .

『It’s turned into a wasteland. . . . . .』

“Not a single blade of grass is growing. . . . . .”

The attack by Martha’s countless Magic Arrows must have been that devastating.

Even Marie is now dead. . . . . .

『No, you’re wrong! Look over there!』

Marie is standing unscathed on the barren land.

She looks around disinterestedly and says,

“Is this your full strength? You must be joking.”

“”Whoa! Lady Witch! Amazing!””

The Empire’s soldiers raise their hands in applause.

On the other hand, Ose is puzzled.

『How the heck did she defend against all those Magic Arrows. . . . . .?』

“I didn’t defend.”

Marie boldly states.

“I simply didn’t activate the magic.”

『What?! You didn’t activate it? What does that mean!』

“Literally. I sent an instruction to the Magic Circle to not hit Marie with the Magic Arrows.”

Magic Circles have external instructions encoded into them, such as where to aim and what kind of magic to unleash.

What Marie did was overwrite those commands.

“Even if I defended with a barrier or dodged with a phasing spell, it would have taken a lot of magical power to deal with those powerful Magic Arrows. However. . . . . .”

『I see, overwriting commands isn’t magic! So you could save on magical power!』

Upon hearing that, Martha grits her teeth in frustration.

The composure she had just moments ago was nowhere to be found in her anymore.

“. . . . . .You, overriding a completed magical command. . . . . . do you even realize how advanced that is?”

Martha grits her teeth, barely holding back her frustration.

It essentially means that it’s a high-level technique that she herself can’t do.

“Well, I’m not interested.”

However, Marie had no interest in how advanced the technique she used was.

For her, magic is nothing more than a means to an end.

How amazing that technique is doesn’t matter to her.

“Damn it. . . . . . Damn it all!”

Marie’s utter lack of interest from the bottom of her heart was incredibly irritating to her.

Even wide-area deployment is an amazing technique.

Martha wanted to show off to Marie, to say, “See, isn’t it amazing?”

But Marie had shown a power that surpassed it.

“I’ll definitely make you eat your words. . . . . .!”
