ㅤ
Marie and her group decided to spend the night in the village.
All the women in the village had died due to a Yokai.
ㅤ
Marie used a spiritual medicine to revive them.
ㅤ
Fast forward to later.
She ended up renting the most luxurious house in the village, but. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Is this luxurious. . . . . .? It’s just a rundown shack.』
ㅤ
Ose the black cat was right.
It was far from luxurious.
ㅤ
However, Marie didn’t mind and took out a bed from a different dimension, sitting down on it.
『You really don’t care about anything other than eating, do you?』
“Yes. As long as I have walls and a roof, it’s fine.”
『Is that so. . . . . .so what’s the plan now?』
“We’ll stay here tonight and set out tomorrow morning.”
ㅤ
Marie wants to quickly defeat the Yokai and eat some delicious sushi.
Smiling, Marie looks at Kaito.
“Kaito, I want to eat something delicious for dinner. How about a stew? Make plenty of it.”
ㅤ
Kaito immediately perks up.
ㅤ
“Understood! You’re as kind as ever, Witch-sama!”
『Hey, this beastman kid is misunderstanding again, isn’t he?』
ㅤ
Ose was right.
Kaito had assumed (or rather, fantasized) the reason Marie ordered stew.
ㅤ
“You’ll make the stew and serve it to everyone in the village, right?!”
『. . . . . .Are your ears just for decoration or what?』
ㅤ
But for Kaito, Marie is a hero.
She wouldn’t possibly eat such a big batch of stew all by herself (though that’s exactly what Marie intends to do).
ㅤ
Why make so much?
It’s obviously to share with the villagers! Truly fitting of Witch-sama!
ㅤ
Or so Kaito thought.
ㅤ
“I don’t care, just get it done quickly.”
“Yes! Oh, but. . . . . .Witch-sama, we don’t have any drinking water.”
ㅤ
“What did you say?” Marie frowns.
ㅤ
『Doesn’t the anywhere-restaurant have a water supply?』
“That’s just for washing dishes. We either buy drinking water or draw it from the well.”
『I see. So, why don’t you just draw it then?』
“The problem is. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Kaito and the others move to the outskirts of the village.
They arrive at the village’s only well.
ㅤ
Kaito drops the bucket and pulls it back up. . . . . .
ㅤ
『Wow. . . . . .this is bad. It’s muddy water.』
ㅤ
Mud would have been better.
What was in the bucket was purple, poisonous water.
ㅤ
“Witch-sama. . . . . .what should we do?”
“It’s fine, Kaito. I can handle this with a single spell.”
ㅤ
Marie extends her right hand and uses light magic.
ㅤ
“【Purification Light】.”
ㅤ
A magical light emits from Marie’s right hand.
ㅤ
“Ose-san, what’s this?”
“Purification Light. As the name suggests, it’s a purification spell. It has the power to cleanse toxins and ghosts.”
ㅤ
The magical light subsides.
Kaito nods and puts the bucket back into the well.
ㅤ
When he pulls it back up, it’s filled with very clear water.
ㅤ
“””Wow! Witch-sama, you’re amazing!”””
ㅤ
The eyes of all the villagers light up.
ㅤ
“To think the well water, contaminated by the Yokai’s poison, would become so clean!”
“Thank you, Witch-sama!”
ㅤ
Kaito said with a smile,
ㅤ
“Please wait a moment! Witch-sama is going to serve stew to everyone!”
“””Oooooooh! Thank youuuuuu!”””
ㅤ
Marie took a small breath.
Ose looked up at her and said,
ㅤ
『So?』
“I’m not doing this for you guys. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
ㅤ
It was genuinely how she felt.
She purified the water just because she wanted to eat the stew.
However. . . . . .
ㅤ
“””Tsundere! Thank you!”””
ㅤ
. . . . . .Because of Kaito, the label of “tsundere” had firmly stuck.
