Marie and her crew arrived at Edo, a port town in the Far East.
However, the atmosphere in the town was rather grim.
ㅤ
『Everyone looks so downcast.』
ㅤ
Ose, the demon black cat, observes the situation from atop Kaito the beast-eared chef’s head.
Everyone is walking with their heads down.
ㅤ
Most of the shops were closed.
Many people could be seen squatting on the spot.
ㅤ
They talk to the captain of a merchant ship.
ㅤ
“This town used to be much livelier. Ever since the Sorcerer King appeared, it’s been like this.”
ㅤ
Marie tours the port town with the captains.
The town, once bustling, was on its last breath.
ㅤ
“There’s nothing to buy here. . . . . .”
『They said the Sorcerer King messed up the weather. Crops probably aren’t growing either.』
ㅤ
The captain sighs in response to Ose’s words.
ㅤ
“It’s not just that. The water and soil have been contaminated due to the curse poison brought by the Sorcerer King.”
ㅤ
The captain takes them to the town’s well.
He drops a bucket into the well and pulls it up.
ㅤ
『Ew! What is this? It’s dirty.』
“This water is terrible. . . . . .You can’t drink this. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The bucket contained water that was hardly distinguishable from muddy water.
“We’ve been filtering the water to drink, but people keep getting sick.”
『If the well water is like this, the river must be dirty too. The mountains are probably in bad shape as well.』
ㅤ
The country of the Far East seems to be on the brink of collapse since the appearance of the Sorcerer King.
Many people were lined up in front of the ship to receive relief supplies.
“To be honest, everyone thinks this island is done for.”
“Witch-sama. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Kaito looks at Marie with desperation.
Her eyes were burning with anger.
ㅤ
“This is unforgivable! How could the Sorcerer King do this!”
ㅤ
Grrr. . . . . .Magical power surges from Marie’s body along with her anger.
Kaito thinks that Marie is driven by righteous indignation.
ㅤ
“Witch-sama! Could it be. . . . . .”
“Yes, I will defeat the Sorcerer King. . . . . .I promise!”
ㅤ
Captain and Kaito cheer.
Only Ose understood.
ㅤ
『You’re angry because you can’t get delicious ingredients from the Far East due to the Sorcerer King, aren’t you?』
“? Is there any other reason to be angry? I don’t think so!”
ㅤ
As expected. . . . . .Ose sighs in disbelief.
She is always loyal to her appetite, wherever and whenever.
ㅤ
The word “helping others” doesn’t exist for this selfish witch.
She simply defeats monsters who get in the way of her goals.
ㅤ
She has never fought for the sake of the weak.
Anyway.
ㅤ
“But Witch-sama, even if you say you’ll defeat the Sorcerer King, nobody knows where he is.”
“Oh, it’s simple. Just ask.”
“Ask. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
The captain is astonished.
Marie uses Spatial Magic to retrieve something from another dimension.
ㅤ
『Let go! Damn woman!』
『You’re that Raiju from earlier, aren’t you?』
ㅤ
It’s the monster that attacked Marie and the others with thunder magic when the ship landed.
It looked like a weasel.
ㅤ
Now it’s wrapped up in a magical rope that Marie created.
ㅤ
“I could tell from the things this monster said, it must be connected to the Sorcerer King. Probably a subordinate.”
『Hmph!』
“Where is the Sorcerer King?”
『Like I’d tell you, scum!』
ㅤ
Ose was always on edge, wondering when Marie would lose her cool.
Yet even when Raiju hurled insults at her, Marie remained unfazed.
ㅤ
“No point getting mad at a small creature.”
『Shut up, fatty!』
“. . . . . .Shall I erase you?”
ㅤ
Seems like she’s a bit sensitive about her figure.
Well, if she truly didn’t care about appearances, she wouldn’t bother maintaining her shape with magic.
ㅤ
“Let me read you first. 【Mind Reading】.”
ㅤ
Marie activates her magic.
ㅤ
“Ose-san, what is this?”
『Mind Reading, it’s a non-elemental magic. Simply put, it reads the thoughts of others.』
“Amazing. . . . . .You can do something god-like!”
『That woman may be insane, but when it comes to magic, she’s a real genius. Mind Reading is a high-level spell. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Marie reads Raiju’s mind.
ㅤ
“Where is the Sorcerer King?”
『Why would I tell you?』
“So. . . . . .he’s in Shinano, isn’t he?”
『What?! How did you know?』
ㅤ
Ose explains what he saw.
ㅤ
『Idiot. When you’re asked a question, if you know the answer, it pops into your mind. That witch read that image.』
“That’s amazing! Witch-sama truly is incredible!”
『Why the hell am I acting like the witch’s commentator. . . . . .sigh. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Marie decides on her next destination and announces it.
ㅤ
“My goal is the west. A territory in the mountains called Shinano. The Sorcerer King is there!”
