The witch was visiting Lake Words, which is located in Shinano.
The one who had turned Lake Words into a poisonous swamp was. . . . . .
A single bird.
ㅤ
“A pheasant, perhaps?”
ㅤ
The slender, beautiful bird emitted a sinister aura.
It had strange-shaped wings like a cluster of dead branches. . . . . . A cursed bird.
ㅤ
“A Yokai, huh.”
『Shasha! Exactly. . . . . .! I am a Poisonous Yokai Bird! A minion of the Sorcerer King, and a poison user!』
ㅤ
The bird, referred to as a Poisonous Yokai Bird, grinned at the witches.
ㅤ
『So, you are the foolish witch who dares to defy the great Sorcerer King?』
“Hmm. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Marie ignored the Poisonous Yokai Bird, glaring at it displeasedly.
ㅤ
“A nasty-looking bird.”
ㅤ
This witch, unbelievably, seemed keen to eat the Poisonous Yokai Bird.
Unlike the Yokai she had encountered before that were inedible forms (like painted walls), this one was, after all, a bird.
ㅤ
Seems like. . . . . .it could be eaten.
But it declared itself a poison user, and moreover, it didn’t look appetizing because it was skinny.
ㅤ
Thus, her motivation was halved.
ㅤ
『Suffer and writhe, you witch. . . . . .!』
ㅤ
The Poisonous Yokai Bird spread its wings.
As its slender wings like twigs unfurled, smoke began to pour out from their tips.
ㅤ
“Mist. . . . . .?”
『Boy! Step back! That’s poison!!!』
ㅤ
Ose, who is also a poison user, understood.
The mist emitted from the Poisonous Yokai Bird was indeed a deadly toxin.
ㅤ
The expelled mist spread behind the Poisonous Yokai Bird.
From a distance, it looked like beautiful wings the color of amethyst.
ㅤ
『Poisonous wings. . . . . . So that’s your ability, huh!』
『Shasha! Exactly! Just breathing in a little of this poisonous mist will kill a human. . . . . . And it has turned the beautiful lake into a swamp of poison as you see.』
ㅤ
The poisonous wings slowly began to expand.
And what’s troublesome, they seemed to have directionality.
ㅤ
The poisonous mist started to envelop Marie and the others.
Marie suddenly collapsed on the spot.
ㅤ
“Witch-sama?! Ah, you’ve been poisoned!”
『Nah. . . . . . that’s not it.』
ㅤ
Only Ose understood.
There’s no way that witch would lose to someone of this level.
ㅤ
So why did she kneel?
ㅤ
“I’m. . . . . . hungry. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ose sighed, feeling exasperated.
No attack could possibly affect the witch.
ㅤ
Because the witch is that strong.
“Hey. . . . . . Kaito. . . . . . Do you think that bird is edible. . . . . .? Can it be cooked deliciously?”
『Eh, no. . . . . . there’s no way you could eat a bird with such deadly poison.』
ㅤ
Kaito nodded forcefully and said,
ㅤ
“It’s possible! There’s a dish called ‘Kiji Pot,’ and it’s delicious!”
“Kiji Pot. . . . . .!!!!!”
A flame of motivation lit up in Marie’s eyes.
With wind magic, she blew away the poison.
ㅤ
『Wha―?! You’re still alive?!』
“Sorry, Poisonous Yokai Bird or whatever. Get ready to be part of a hot pot!”
ㅤ
Ose sighed, 『It’s not ‘tie you up’ or anything like that. . . . . .』, feeling exasperated.
