The Witch and the Doll Swear

Before, Tina never imagined that one day even the clear sky would be so dazzling.

High and clear blue.

White and lovely clouds.

The dazzling halo that shines into the eyes seems to coat everything in the world with brilliant gold.

Whether it's the dirty fur tents, the lingering stench of beasts and feces, or the dust blown up from the ground by the cold wind, they command people to surround themselves on the flat ground beside them, not knowing what it is. The woodcarving kowtows, the shaman who speaks the unintelligible nomad-style lingua franca...

Compared to the world where you can only see a bunch of blurry outlines, even these can make people smile at each other.

"Miss Tina, although the fact that the snow blindness has been cured is very happy... But everyone is looking at it with strange eyes."

"Eh? Yes, is it that obvious? Cough, cough..."

"It's still a silly smile."

"Too much, Miss Alice!"

Otherwise, why do you always say that people only know how to cherish something after they lose it?

Looking at the girl who couldn't hide her smile no matter what, the little puppet in her arms sighed softly.

Anyway, there are three things to be thankful for.

Early this morning, shortly after Tina's eyesight recovered, they came to this gathering place of nomads, near [San Torre].

This is one of them.

[San Torre] is quite large in scale.

This is the second.

This is simply a small town built on the grassland with tents, sheepfolds and horse stalls. The gray and brown animal hides even cover the color of the earth, and there are some tents of linen or thick cloth dotted among them. In addition to a large number of horses in the stables made of animal bones, there are also many wooden covered carriages-on the grasslands, nomads cannot produce such materials, and they cannot make such materials if they are not rich in wood. carriage.

There is no doubt that this is a commodity from merchants outside the steppe.

On the dirt road divided by tents, there are indeed some people who are obviously dressed in civilized society occasionally pass by.

This means that [San Torre] has a relatively high degree of civilization, and the possibility of finding gray crystals for making goggles here has also increased significantly——

Or, there is no need to use the ambiguous term "possibility".

In the center of the square of [San Torre] not far from the present Tina, there is a gray crystal the size of a fist placed there.

This is the third.

"It would be great if the negotiations go well."

The only problem is that the gray crystal is placed in front of the statue carved from wood and animal bones. The crystal clear color is being bowed down by hundreds of men with their upper body naked.

That is to say, it was a tribute.

In the tent next to Tina, Liliana was negotiating for this.

"Alice thinks it may not be that easy. Although the goddess of the grassland has died long ago, and even the image of the god is distorted like this, their beliefs are very firm. It is not easy to ask them to trade tributes dedicated to the gods. It's too easy, and Lily's [Magic Charm] won't have much effect on people with firm beliefs, so it's better not to expect too much."

Alice, being held by Tina, poured a bucket of cold water on the girl's optimism.

"is that so?"

"The best way is actually to grab and run, but because of those guys, it's not that easy."

The little puppet raised its head, looked into the eyes of Tingna, who was panicking all of a sudden, and stretched out his finger to the shriveled man sitting cross-legged beside the statue, with animal bones tied all over his body.

Unlike the nomads kneeling around, none of these men had body hair so obvious that they could be seen from a distance, including hair, beards, and eyebrows. On the top of their heads and faces, there were a large number of primitive but complex totems.

The clothes made entirely of animal bones were obviously incapable of keeping out the cold. Even though everyone had a brazier in front of them, their skins turned livid due to the cold.

The livid skin, the bare body surface, and those patterns, these things make them look both funny and creepy.

"They're shamans."

Alice answered before Tina asked.

"The oldest priests are also the oldest magicians. Although their dead gods will definitely not give them any power, magic is not weak because of primitiveness. If there are so many shamans, it is probably impossible Stealing the tribute without anyone noticing will lead to a battle, and to get rid of them, many people may have to be killed."

"...that's not okay."

Hearing that the little doll said it killed many people so lightly, the blond girl pursed her lips, then shook her head.

"If anyone died because of something like this, because of me, I'd probably have nightmares."

The girl's answer did not surprise Miss Doll at all.

Not long ago, Tina confessed to them why she valued "life" so much.

Basically, the explanation obtained by connecting the girl's memories and self-narration is: because every time she goes to sea, she may encounter marine monsters, storms, or even pirates and may not be able to return. The girl's father has instilled safety in her daughter. First, the most important concept of life—that is, the so-called family education.

Therefore, the concept of "valuing safety and life" was deeply implanted in Tingna's heart when she was very young.

Then, when she was a student, she witnessed the murder of a betrayed classmate by her abandoned lover, and the girl who was overwhelmingly supported by public opinion or public opinion was still sentenced to death and executed. From this incident, I came to the point of view [no matter what the reason is, taking life is an unforgivable sin] and inversely deduced [life is the most precious thing], and this conclusion became what my father taught [ The argument of "life first" makes this idea even more deeply rooted...

There is little logic to it.

So much so that Alice and Liliana thought about it all night, and they couldn't figure out how this girl who lived an ordinary life before meeting herself and Lily formed such a wonderful concept.

"Then we can only hope for Lily's negotiation, but as Alice said, don't get your hopes up."

"I know...Speaking of which, Miss Alice, you said that the Goddess of the Prairie is dead. What's the matter? Are gods also mortal..."

"Ah, that..."

At this time, the door of the sheepskin tent was opened.

Through the door made of cashmere, the witch raised her hood and walked to Alice and Tina.

"Ah, Miss Liliana..."

"Lily, welcome back, how is the negotiation going?"

Alice, who was planning to reveal more events that would surely lead to immortality if the nomads understood it, shook her pointy ears. After welcoming her master back, she spoke out for the girl what she was most concerned about at the moment.

Tina never wanted to lose such a clear and beautiful world.

"... Let's talk about it in another place."

Liliana looked at Alice, then at Tina, then turned and walked on the road.

For some unknown reason, the witch's tiny footprints were left on the ashes that paved the road, but the little bare feet under the charcoal-black cloak were not even stained with dust.

Soon, the girls left the square surrounded by endless prayers, and came to an open space on the edge of [San Torre]. Liliana hugged Alice from Tina's hand, and told them the result of the negotiation. .

Not surprisingly, requests to exchange and purchase other crystals were denied.

After all, it is a 'simple' primitive tribe. Compared with money, faith has a higher status here. It is almost unimaginable to exchange money for tributes to the gods.

"Can't you buy it? Then what should I do..."

As bad news as Alice said, Tina frowned in distress.

The next trip is still very long. For myself, goggles to prevent snow blindness are very necessary.

"If you can't get it, the next trip will be very troublesome, so you can't give up, Lily, is there any other way?"

"...Well, there are two methods other than trading."

"what is it then?"

Tina's eyes lit up.

"...If I serve as a sacrifice at the sacrifice two days later, I can take away the crystal in the name of receiving the blessing of the gods."

Holding down the little puppet lying on top of her head, Liliana silently pointed to herself.

"Eh? Wait a minute, the sacrifice is..."

"Human sacrifice, right? It's offering people as sacrifices to the gods. It's a common sacrificial method in primitive beliefs."

Nod, nod.

"—No, absolutely not!!" Ting Na violently grabbed Miss Witch's shoulder, shaking her head desperately.

All that a girl can associate with this word is a terrible scene:

Miss Witch was tied naked in front of the invisible god statue, and the shriveled shamans danced and shouted incomprehensible prayers to cut open the soft and lovely body with a knife——

"Miss Liliana is going to be a sacrifice or something, absolutely not!"

"Um……"

The girl caught by the girl blinked her starry eyes and tilted her head.

She felt that the girl in front of her probably made a mistake.

Nomads worship the goddess every winter and once in summer.

In summer, the tribes of almost the entire grassland gather together, while in winter, neighboring tribes gather to form [San Torre] and hold their own events.

The specific content includes duels, hunting, banquets and prayers all night.

Liliana learned about the duties of the sacrifice from the elders—of course, she also told Alice through the spiritual link when she knew it.

The duties of the sacrifices in this ceremony are not as bloody as it sounds.

"...Since Miss Tingna objects, there is another option."

However, there is no need to explain clearly.

This sacrifice was a product of nomads' reproductive worship and horse worship. The price of a piece of gray crystal costing 40 to 50 silver coins was too ridiculous, and it was not within the witch's choice from the very beginning.

"What's the other option?"

"……that."

Liliana reached out from under her cloak, pointing somewhere on the horizon.

………………………………………………………………………………………

In the endless snow field, there are only this direction, and there are uncoordinated protrusions.

It can be seen from a distance, but only when you get close can you really realize it.

Whether it is the dark color.

Still the sharp and smooth outline.

All of them have a sense of presence that is incomparable to the whole piece of [San Torre].

"This is...a tower..."

"To be precise, it is the Mage Tower."

Alice, who was sitting on top of the astral unicorn, nodded.

After re-summoning an astral unicorn outside the settlement, they arrived here after galloping for a few minutes.

More than 2,000 meters away from the settlement of the nomads, amidst the fine snow and hot air, a tall black tower that is particularly incompatible with the snowy grassland stands here.

It's about five or six stories high, not too high, and not particularly huge. , the square tower body made of pitch-black stone bricks can't see any variegated colors and decorations, only on the stone bricks at the bottom of the tower, there are carvings and hollows as simple embellishments.

All the stone materials are polished very smooth, revealing delicate textures under the blue sky light.

A common obelisk is located in the valley of the grassland.

And in front of the black iron fence gate, there is a small hot spring.

Such landforms are widely distributed in the west of the Elrond Prairie. Natural hot water gushes out from slightly low-lying rocks, making it an ideal place for wintering. The nomads either regard these as a gift from the goddess, or as a A lair where demons lurk, it was a very integral part of their beliefs and lives.

"...The carbonic acid spring has a high concentration and a moderate temperature. Originally, those nomads would camp here. The temperature near the natural hot spring is relatively high, which can save firewood and facilitate sacrifices."

Liliana, who took off the cloak as soon as she left [San Torre], was not in a hurry to get close to the tower. Miss Witch sat on the edge of the hot spring and soaked her legs in the spring water that was constantly bubbling white. middle.

"However, two days before the first snow fell, when the surrounding tribes, large and small, gathered around the hot spring, the tower suddenly appeared there."

Accompanied by a thunderstorm.

The elders told Liliana that it was a very sudden thunderstorm.

There was not even a cloud in the sky that day.

However, with the sudden appearance of the tower, the lightning strikes falling from the clear sky scorched several tents that were close together and killed several young people.

At first, the nomads thought it was the anger of the goddess, so they quickly moved the gathering place to the current location. Everyone prayed day and night, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and prepared to face punishment.

But after two days passed, there was no response from the tower.

Later, the oldest shaman of a tribe who came here looked up the records written on the sheepskin and said that the goddess would not send down such things. It must be the power of demons, so the shaman took the most heroic hunter He and the soldiers broke in, intending to destroy the demons and take back the holy spring bestowed by the goddess.

None of these people ever came back.

And the tower still stands.

"Afterwards, from the mouths of the merchants, they knew that it was a magic tower. Although some merchants' guards, hired mercenaries, and adventurers were asked to check it out, no one was willing to approach it. Tombs, the ruins of the deep elves, and the magician's mage tower are the last things adventurers want to get close to."

The little puppet also took off the sandals with thin straps and kicked the water patter.

Looking enviously at the two who completely ignored the cold wind blowing from the north of the mainland, Tingna hesitated for a long time and did not follow their example and soak her hands or feet in the spring water.

"So, as long as we solve the problem of this tower, can we get that crystal? But, will there be any danger..."

"...There are not many places on the mainland that are more dangerous than the magician's mage's tower, but can you see that coat of arms, Miss Tina?"

The girl squatting next to Liliana with her legs crossed looked over the door of the tower.

"Well, the coat of arms of the eagle and the vine..."

"It's the coat of arms of a mage that both Lily and Alice know. Although I don't know why he came to this grassland instead of the city of a thousand towers, but this mage tower is his."

"Eh? Is it the magician Miss Liliana knows? If that's the case, then don't worry..."

"...However, the shaman and the hunters have disappeared, the broken iron gate has not been repaired, and we have not noticed our approach now. If we are not busy, there must be some accident..."

"..."

Tingna, who was relieved just now that she didn't have to take any risks, looked at Liliana who stood up expressionlessly with resentful eyes.

You don't need to tell me this kind of thing.

"Do you want to wait here? Miss Tina."

"……No."

The girl shook her head.

"If something happens to Miss Liliana and Alice, my best end is to be captured by those nomads as a slave. In that case, I'd rather be with you..."

"..."

"Well, why are you looking at me like that..."

"……nothing."

The witch shook her head slightly, and walked towards the mage tower.

——Until you actually walk into a mage tower, you can never imagine what's inside. In the circle of adventurers and thieves, this saying is quite famous.

According to Tingna's current feeling, there is no problem in replacing [before] with [after] in the first half of this sentence.

"Miss Liliana, what is this?"

No porch, no stairs.

Very low ceilings.

The light that comes in only from the small and many drop-shaped windows on the surrounding walls makes the whole space oppressive but not dim.

After passing through the pried open iron gate and entering through the half-open black gate at the bottom of the tower, Tingna's sight was attracted by the brightest light in the center.

At the position where those thin beams of light focused, in the very center of the hall, a wave-like crack floated there, shimmering and shining.

"...the portal."

Looking around, I didn't find the shaman and hunter traces mentioned by the elders of [San Torre] here. The witch answered the girl's question concisely and walked towards the swaying waves.

"This portal is completely different from the novel..."

"The [glowing door] that is often seen in knight novels is just a kind of portal. Many magicians like to use this magic instead of stairs in their private magic towers. Only through there can they truly enter the magic tower. middle."

The detailed explanation was handed over to Alice on the girl's shoulders.

"That's why it's different from the structure of the Salt Sand City Magicians Association. There are no stairs."

During the conversation between the puppet and the girl, after a little calculation that the coordinates of this portal are the same as those of the previous visit, and that she would not be teleported to a strange location, Liliana stretched her hand into the wave-like space. in the light.

Because of the witch's movement, a light blue magic circle including them appeared on the floor.

——This is also something that is not mentioned in the novel.

Just as Tina was comparing the scene in front of her with the fragments of the novel in her memory, on the girl's left shoulder, Alice spoke in a tone as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, is this the first time Miss Tingna has seen the portal?"

asked in her ear.

"Of course it's the first time I actually saw it, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that after a while—"

All the runes light up.

Illuminated by lights on both sides are stone walls of the same material as the tower body.

Underfoot are steps that glow fluorescent in the dark.

The empty and oppressive hall turned into a spiral staircase.

"Goo... ah..."

Compared with the body, the brain is more clearly aware of the change of location. This is definitely not comfortable. It is like experiencing an invisible tremor that messed up the brain, buzzing in the ears, The world is falling.

Because of the uncomfortable feeling experienced for the first time, the girl gasped in distress.

If this feeling is to be put into words accurately, the girl feels that what she is stepping on must be a wriggling ball of cotton, which cannot support her body at all, and she can only let herself obey the chaotic gravity and fall backwards.

"—I'll be a little dizzy, yo!"

However, the back did not feel the hard impact of the touch, replaced by a pulling feeling from the collar. In front of the vision of countless variegated particles flying, Alice, who was shaking her pointed ears, finally did not even rescue her. The hands are also late.

"Miss Alice, I'm so dizzy..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Tina retched continuously.

"The operation of the portal will cause the vibration of the law of space. Generally speaking, everyone who passes through the portal for the first time will faint for a while. This is so famous that almost all novels have such a bridge... Lily , is there any sobriety potion left?"

"……Um."

Liliana nodded, and handed the lavender potion that appeared in her hand to the girl's mouth.

Just at this time.

There was a roar from the end of the spiral staircase.

The sound was like a raging beast. The roar was like thunder exploding in the night rain.

But compared to the roar that seemed to be filled with endless hatred and tyranny, those terrifying sounds seemed so insignificant.

The vial of the potion fell from the girl's hand.

——!

There was a clear shattering sound.

"Yah------!!!!"

Accompanied by terrified screams.

The girl who was about to drink the potion desperately covered her ears and screamed.

The sea-colored pupils reflected the shadows under the wall lamps, and everything around them suddenly lost their bright surfaces.

In the pale, weathered and disintegrated corridor, the terrifying monster with the tail of a mouse wriggled and approached from there, and the huge spider hung from the ceiling and stretched out a long snake letter around his shoulders, dripping.

The hot and humid feeling spread between his legs, and he lowered his head to realize that the rocky steps turned into wriggling meatballs full of eyes at some point. Even if he closed his eyes, in the darkness, there were countless bloodshot eyeballs grinning at him. Small bones protruded from those dead-like pupils, one by one, as if they wanted to dig out their own eyeballs one by one.

I can't even pass out of a coma. It would be great if I passed out of a coma.

How merciful death and coma are compared to facing such horrors!

But Tina couldn't pass out, she covered her face with trembling hands and her nails were dug into her flesh. Even so, this nightmare seemed to be endless.

until the light comes.

"【Your fear blasphemes God's scriptures, your despair betrays God's grace, your screams are meaningless, and they only send you to the hell of shame and ridicule!"

"【Don't be afraid, because God is with you, there is no need to despair, because the light is with you, if you scream like a coward, I will act on behalf of the authority of divine annihilation, and give you the seal of pain and clarity!"

It was as if an angel was crying out in the light.

"[The deterrent authority of holy annihilation]!"

[interpretation] sing broken

--Snapped!

It was after the burning pain on the back of his hand that he realized that Guang's long whip was coming towards him, after that.

--boom.

His back hit the edge of the steps.

The girl stared blankly at the little puppet that was stepping on her chest and shoulders, and pointed her bare long whip at her little puppet, dumbfounded, unable to even say a word.

"Although the method is a bit rough, it still looks very effective. Lily, I will leave the oil bottle to you. Alice will deal with that stupid barking dog."

Looking down at the girl, Alice's clothes and body have changed. Before Tina could see clearly, the little doll turned its face away with a sadistic expression, raised the hem of the dark leather coat, and headed towards the stairs. rushed to the end of the stairs and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

The blazing fire shone on the stone bricks there, casting a huge, hideous shadow with sharp horns like a goat. Alice's shadow was also projected onto the wall made of black stone bricks by the flames, her short and narrow hem and headscarf fluttered, and she rushed towards the bloody mouth opened by that shadow.

"Oh, oh, it seems that the old gentleman really had some accidents. Isn't that voice Chalisperg? Don't you even know your old friend?"

Alice laughed sharply, the sound was like rubbing metal

Responding to the nearly maniacal laughter was a bigger roar and flames full of sulfurous stench from the ferocious monster's mouth.

But no matter which one it was, it was blocked by several steps by an aurora-like barrier.

——This is, what happened?

Realizing that she was involved in the situation with Liliana and Alice again, and only she couldn't understand anything, the blond girl tried to stand up from her body, but she just let her lie on the stage His upper body propped up a slight arc, and the feeling of dizziness and retching caused twinkling stars in front of his eyes.

"...Don't force yourself to sort out the situation. The aftereffects of the first transmission probably haven't been eliminated. Whether it's thinking or asking questions, it's meaningless if you're in poor health. I'll leave it to Alice. Don't worry."

Saying so, the witch lady turned her eyes from the end of the stairs where the flame waves receded, and handed the lavender potion that reappeared in her hand to the girl's mouth.

The feeling of retching surged up from her stomach even when she opened her mouth, and the girl who had difficulty speaking looked at the calm face that hadn't changed at all, so she had to obediently follow Miss Witch's request, don't think so much for now, and put The medicine was swallowed in small mouthfuls.

At the same time, this section of stairs and the place under them—or perhaps the entire tower—are constantly shaking.

Something heavy was being swung, and there was an audible gust of wind. Sometimes that heavy thing was smashed down again, and the roar and vibration resounded together.

The ferocious monster spewed flames from time to time, and the scorched black marks covered the light of the steps.

The golden light shone brilliantly from time to time, seeming to bury all the darkness and shadows.

During this period, there was the roar of an unknown monster, and Alice's chanting, whose voice had completely changed.

"Miss Liliana, what's going on—hiss..."

The potion was finished, and the incongruity and dizziness brought about by the space transfer were gradually subsiding. After finally no longer feeling sick in her throat, Tingna quickly propped herself up with her hands.

But because this action involved both hands, the back of his hand, which was still burning, suddenly ached.

Looking at the scars on the back of her hands that could be connected together and still slightly oozing blood, not only that, the cold sweat all over her body and the wet touch between her legs also made the girl feel absurdly unreal.

——Could it be that all that just now...wasn't it all hallucinations?

Ting Na looked blankly at the witch sitting in front of her.

"...The roar Miss Tingna heard was the demon's [Scream of Fear]."

Seeing the doubts in the girl's eyes repeatedly, the witch who pulled Tina's hand over and scooped out the translucent ointment from the medicine box with her fingers explained to her.

This is a kind of magic that has the characteristics of black magic and spiritual magic at the same time. Most of the demons from the lower world are born with talents. Their roar will make terror invade people's hearts and make people crazy in fear.

Rather, it is lucky to only be scared of incontinence.

"...Although I know a lot of magic that can calm people's hearts and calm people down, because I rarely use it and I don't have the necessary magic materials, I am helpless when Miss Tinna suddenly goes berserk. Fortunately, Alice's [Holy Annihilation] Dress] has similar magic, and it was originally a job for exterminating demons, but... Alice's personality will appear a little irritable and sadistic after wearing that, so, somewhat rough."

"Evil, devil..."

Thinking of the indifferent and contemptuous eyes of the little puppet stepping on her chest with thick-soled leather boots, Tingna couldn't help shrinking her neck.

On the stone wall at the end of the stairs, the head of that ferocious black figure still flashed from time to time.

It was indeed what could be called a demon, a terrifying shadow.

"Why, there are demons in the magic tower of the magician Miss Liliana knows... Woo!"

"...It is not uncommon among magicians to summon demons from the lower world and serve as the defense force of the mage tower after domestication."

While applying the antiseptic and healing ointment on the back of the girl's hands as gently as possible, Liliana explained, frowning slightly because of Tina's painful cry.

It was not the first time for her to take care of an injured person, but, no matter what, [Nursing] and [Take Care] were blind spots in her knowledge and experience.

Even if I recall from afar the memories of when I belonged to humans, I was still a noble lady at that time, and I never had the opportunity to take care of others, let alone after becoming an immortal witch.

"Could it be that something happened to the magician Miss Liliana knew?"

Realizing the witch's expression, Tina pursed her lips tightly.

I have caused trouble for Miss Liliana and Alice again.

"...Guoyi Keweier is an excellent magician. He has made great achievements in the systematization and research of summoning magic, but he is already very old."

Holding the bottle of ointment and looking at it for a while, Liliana suddenly rolled up the hair that was hanging down her face, lowered her head, and stuck out her little pink tongue, licking the wound on the back of the girl's hand.

"if that is the case--"

Carefully licking the wound with the tip of her tongue, spreading the ointment evenly, and hearing Tina's exclamation, Miss Witch raised her head with frowning eyebrows, and calmly interrupted the girl's words.

"...Alice also found the corpses of the nomads in the hall. As the highest protection measure of this mage tower, Chalisperger attacked Alice as an old friend under the influence of blood rage...Guoyi · Kewell did tell me that he hoped to see the vast grassland one day, but he is very old, very old, no matter what happened to him, whether it was an accidental fall or a heart attack, this tower came to this place It's been a while in the grassland, no matter how anxious you are, it's too late."

After the ointment was gently spread evenly by Miss Witch's tongue, a transparent film was left on the wound, and the warm feeling covered the wound, and the pain soon eased.

"...Now, it is more important to deal with Miss Tingna's wound."

After finishing speaking, Liliana took the girl's other hand and used her entire tongue this time.

Soon, what remained on the back of his hand was the warmth from the tip of Liliana's tongue? Or is it a dull pain that hasn't subsided yet? Tina couldn't tell the difference.

The only thing that was certain was that the noise of the commotion had gradually diminished, and at a place where Tingna couldn't see anything, the battle seemed to have ended.

"Lily, it's been resolved. This matter may be more complicated than we imagined."

Not long after, Alice's voice echoed between the walls on the left and right of the stairs, and upon hearing the voice of her most important doll, the witch lifted the barrier of Aurora.

"...Let's go, Miss Tina."

The witch stood up, her tone was flat, as if she was going to a funeral.

"Uh-huh."

Nodding, and a little wobbly Tina, after hesitating for a while.

"That, Miss Liliana."

"……Um?"

"If you're going to see off your friends, wouldn't it be better to wear some formal clothes..."

The witch who was slowly walking down the steps was taken aback for a moment, the eyes of the starry sky turned to stare at Ting Na, and then turned to the tower, the dark stone bricks, as if missing something, gradually went up , to the end of the pointed vaulted ceiling.

"...No, if it's really a farewell, just this one time, let me wear my own formal attire."

Shaking her head lightly, she walked down the stairs with a clean and flawless figure, an immortal witch.
