Chapter 48 – 48. Obsession
Hundreds or thousands of puppets rushed at them. I tried to use magic to neutralize the puppets like before, but I was taken aback when I saw that the puppets moved without any problems even after using magic.
‘What, why is this moving…… ?’
Looking closely, there was something different from the previous elf. Elves moved as people, not dolls, and these dolls were moving as just dolls.
Didn’t Beatrice say that her own magic was the magic that turned dolls into people?
He never said that it was magic that could move the doll.
“John, John—my John.”
The young witch muttered and continued to flick her fingers. It was only then that I realized that there was a very small thread hanging from her finger, barely visible.
Every time his finger snapped, the dolls in the room pressed him. It was only belatedly that he realized why his magic didn’t work.
‘This…… Are you saying everything is moving directly?’
His own magic was a magic nullification that reversed things that had no magical effect, but that’s why it didn’t help at all when dealing with non-magical abilities.
If a witch who has been left alone in a mansion in the woods like this, who has been making dolls and working with needles and threads for tens or hundreds of years, commits something impossible in common sense, I can’t resist.
“A friend of mine that I finally found. I can’t go anywhere.”
“…… No.”
“It’s okay. You will soon like it too.”
After subduing her limbs with threads, Beatrice firmly fixed them so that they would never come loose. I looked at her tying my limbs and warned casually.
“Free me.”
“Why? You said you were friends, why do you keep trying to run away?”
“This isn’t something to do between friends, more than anything…….”
Snuggle- I said, dangling my necklace.
“Now, it’s lunchtime.”
“…… Aha, John is hungry! Okay! Hang in there!”
Beatrice didn’t understand my meaning and left the room. Even after tens or hundreds of years of age, the young witch never grew up as a child.
Heck, if you’ve never had a conversation with others since you were born, you can’t grow unless you want to grow.
‘Fucked.’
The necklace starts to glow.
Master wake.
* * *
Waking up late in the morning, close to lunchtime, Evangeline immediately took out the necklace she had been fixing all night and began to adjust it.
A necklace given to her by her lovely disciple, John. It was Treasure No. 2, which became the second most precious thing in her life.
Naturally, no. 1 was my disciple, John himself.
Growing—!
“Ah…”
My stomach started to rumble because I skipped breakfast. If I had made such a noise in front of my pupil, I would have blushed with shame.
Feeling fortunate, Evangeline slipped out of the living room to eat lunch. The living room, which was always noisy and full of the smell of people living, was very cold.
Neither Johann nor Margaret can be seen. She glared at Margaret’s room with eyes as cold as the living room.
‘Where did you go together…… It’s not.’
Margaret’s magical energy was felt in the room. So, the reason why Yohan was away was probably going to get food…….
Thinking so, Evangeline sat down in a chair and quietly waited for John to return. It wasn’t that I didn’t think that my pupil might be in danger, but as long as he didn’t get out of this forest, he wouldn’t be in danger.
It wasn’t until after waiting for a long time that Yohan didn’t come back, Evangeline felt something strange and searched for Yohan’s location.
‘…… No?’
Evangeline, who spread her magic widely and searched the entire forest, realized that John’s magic was not felt anywhere in the forest.
My heart thumps, sinks. It may not be possible, but I am worried that John may have escaped, or that he may have been killed by a monster.
It can’t be. It can’t be, it can’t be…
Evangeline began to spread her magic little by little. As her heart began to beat like crazy, and her magic spread beyond her realm of forests to the mountains and cities, countless pieces of information came crashing down on her.
The throbbing pain that seemed like it would break her head tortured her, but Evangeline persevered and endured it. After much patience, he was able to find the reaction of the necklace he had handed over to John.
“Why are you there…….”
Evangeline, who found John’s location, frowned in doubt. John’s location was halfway up the Great Mountains over there.
It was the territory of other witches, and it was also a place that she would not approach because there were many monsters that were difficult to deal with.
‘That’s not the point.’
Evangeline ran straight into Margaret’s room. He immediately made a loud noise and woke Margaret.
It was unknown whether the invisible woman was awake or not, but Evangeline shouted as if it didn’t matter.
“Ritz! Did you wake up!? I’m in trouble! John is gone!”
No answer came back, but the quilt and pillow swayed, signaling that Margaret had woken up.
Seeing that, Evangeline immediately shared the location she confirmed with Margaret. At a time like this, you don’t know how fortunate I am to have Margaret there.
If it hadn’t been for her, he would have had to walk to where John was. She herself prayed that John would remain alive in a dangerous place.
It was an inconsistent sound.
“Let’s go! Quick—!”
Smart-.
And then someone knocked on the door. Evangeline’s eyes swivel. Is it John? The necklace’s reaction was far away, but it wasn’t John’s reaction, so I wasn’t 100% sure John was there.
If it was just that the necklace was lost, and it came back somehow—— Evangeline, expecting so much, cautiously opened the door.
Outside the door, a polar bear standing on two legs in a suit was waiting for her with a respectful attitude.
“Nice to meet you. Mademoiselle.”
“…… What are you?”
“And good luck.”
The white bear, standing on two legs, swung its front paws as it was. The magic power or power contained within is enormous, and it leaves a large claw mark in the cabin even if it has not been touched.
However, Evangeline just stared at the claw casually. Sharp claws and powerful force could not have any effect.
There is nothing greater than love in this world, so everything could be solved with love.
The polar bear looked at the stopped hand and looked at Evangeline with a laugh as if it was absurd.
“Haha, this wasn’t a little strong.”
“It’s just fine. Being attacked like this at the same time as Yohan disappeared…… It will never be a coincidence.”
“John? Who is that……”
“Don’t pretend.”
Evangeline, who erased one of the white bear’s hands from the world with a light swing of her arm, grabbed her arm and approached the white bear rolling on the ground.
“Click ah ah ah ─ !!”
“I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I’ll go a little rough. If you want to die, tell me what you know.”
Evangeline erased the white bear little by little from this world. Fearing that he was disappearing, the polar bear screamed wildly and spit out the information Evangeline wanted.
After hearing the information she wanted, Evangeline, who killed the polar bear neatly, went back into the cabin and talked while looking at Margaret who had finished her preparations.
“Let’s hurry. John wait.”
Margaret nodded with a stiff expression.
The two soon moved to the middle of the great mountain range.
* * *
“Ah-.”
“… I can eat.”
“Ah-! Aang!”
Beatrice, who had brought the food, continued to hold the spoonful of food in, and pressed my lips. I couldn’t win over a child. Kids don’t know how to give up.
Eventually, when I carefully opened my mouth, properly cooled food entered my mouth. To be honest, the taste of the food was not very good.
‘It’s normal… No, it’s normal, so it’s not seasoned at all…….’
However, Beatrice asked with her eyes shining if she was confident in the food she fed her.
“What do you think!? Tasty!?”
“…… Honestly?”
“Then, should I be honest with you?”
“It tastes awful.”
“What…… ? Why, why is it not tasty!?”
“There is no liver at all… More than anything…….”
It didn’t have the taste of Master’s seasoning, so even if I added a little salt or pepper, it probably wouldn’t have been that delicious.
Because it was nothing short of magical MSG. This taste was not the kind of taste that could be explained to someone who hadn’t tried it.
“I mean, you’ve never eaten anything delicious, have you?”
“…… I have. This is delicious too.”
“Your body won’t grow because you only eat those things.”
“——Everyone has grown up! I’m old enough!”
Saying that, Beatrice pushed her chest forward. It wasn’t without it for a small body, but compared to Master, Margaret, and Elesis, it was as good as nothing.
When he looked at her breasts and let out a snort, Beatrice puffed out her cheeks and put on a pouty expression, wondering what she was so dissatisfied with.
“John, I hate you.”
“Really? Do you really hate me?”
“…… No, I don’t really hate it.”
“What should I do if I am wrong?”
“Sorry, sorry. I’m sorry John. It’s my fault… So, don’t hate me.”
“Then can you release this too?”
When I lightly pulled her arm and pointed at the thread that tied her limbs, she shook her head and expressed her disapproval.
“If you don’t release this, you might hate Beatrice, right?”
“…… But, if you let go, Yohan will return.”
“Even when you come back?”
“Lie. It is a lie. Even if he hates me a little, I don’t want John to leave.”
Beatrice rose from her seat, saying that she would serve the food again.
I was just staring at her back. Beyond the door she had opened, a familiar shape appeared.
“Ugh!?”
Hitting her face with a large, soft lump of fat, Beatrice looked forward while fiddling with her forehead.
In front of him stood a silver-haired witch with huge breasts incomparable to those of her kind.
“John, you were here.”
Master, Witch Evangeline said with a grin.
“Let’s go back.”
