234 – The Witch’s Warning
My eyebrows naturally furrowed at the not-so-welcome reunion.
To be honest, I couldn’t believe it from the time it was confirmed that I was going on a school trip to Paris, but I never thought I would really meet the witch of prophecy like this again.
She looked the same as when we met her before. The elegant elegance of the elegant dress and the body movements of holding a teacup and sipping tea showed a noble elegance.
The only thing that has changed is that the time zone has changed to daytime. And the only difference was that Sharon was together in a space that seemed far from reality.
Come to think of it, unlike me, Sharon is seeing the Witch of Prophecy for the first time. She didn’t seem particularly agitated as she turned her head to her side for a quick glance at her to see how she might be. However, as if she had noticed that the current situation was not normal, she was observing the witch in front of her eyes.
At the moment that a bit of an awkward silence continued, it was the witch of prophecy who broke the flow first.
“I’m sorry. Aren’t you even going to say hello?”

No, in this situation, who would greet you calmly?
After holding back her sigh, I asked her straight-forward.
“What is it?”
“Huh. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Let’s not pretend. There’s no way there’s no one there in broad daylight. What did he do?”
The witch didn’t bother to deny my words and only smiled faintly.
“First of all, why don’t we say hello to each other before we start talking in earnest? Especially since the person next to me seems to have met me for the first time.”
Certainly, there was some truth to her suggestion. Sharon needs to roughly understand what this is all about so she can follow the flow.
The witch set her teacup down on the table, covered her mouth with her fan, and introduced herself with her eye smile.
“Hello. There are various ways people call me, but please call me the witch of prophecy as the phantom thief next to me calls me.”
Then Sharon also spoke in a blunt tone.
“Sharon. She is a first year student at the Magic Academy.”
“Hmm. Are you done with that? I’m more curious about you as a detective.”
I flinched for no reason at the words of the witch who casually saw through her identity.
It would be even weirder if she didn’t know the fact that she is a witch of prophecy that can see the future.
Why are you bringing up such a thing out of nowhere? Was it Sharon, not me, who the witch had business with?
Confused as she couldn’t guess her opponent’s intentions, she tried to suppress her heart and calmly spoke out.
“You seem to have finished introducing yourself. Now, can you tell me the main point?”
“Whoops. You have a pretty quick temper. Since you’re looking at me like that, I have no choice but to let you know right away.”
The witch said with a sly smile on her lips.
“The end of the prophecy is not far away.”
“…The final chapter?”
“Sooner or later everything will change. Then you will have to make a choice.”
I wasn’t sure what those words meant, but I was sure they were important warnings that shouldn’t be overlooked.
I thought that the questions surrounding me now might also be somehow related to the final chapter she just talked about.
If I asked for specific details, it was obvious that they wouldn’t tell me anyway, just like a prophecy.
However, there was a point that I had to point out.
“Why are you talking about this in front of Sharon?”
Obviously, witches had the ability to separate Sharon and talk to me alone. Just as she had made everyone else around the plaza disappear, she could have made Sharon vacate her place for a while.
But the Witch of Prophecy didn’t do that. There must have been a reason why Sharon, who did not even know the context of her before and after her, was deliberately brought together.
But the witch didn’t answer her question.
She just spat out a vague word that could hardly be considered an answer.
“Please do not doubt.”
“What is that…”
Before I could ask what she was talking about, the wind suddenly blew hard, and her witchy figure disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the air flow changed and I began to feel the presence of noisy people.
“Huh? Crow! Sharon!!”
Yulia found us standing there blankly and ran towards her, waving her hand in welcome, but I didn’t even think of responding to her, so I stood there and was busy chewing on the witch’s words.
***
Night has come to Paris.
The eventful school trip came to an end as of tomorrow.
The first day was spent on the sea because of the cruise murder case, and the second day was sold out to meet the witch of prophecy after an audience with her queen.
At this rate, an uneasy premonition that it would be impossible to spend the last day peacefully also rose up.
Whatever it was, I was so tired right now that I wanted to fall asleep by the bedside.
However, my wish was completely broken by the roommate assigned to the dorm.
“Why today…”
Pure white short hair and red eyes. With her hair slightly growing, Gina Granger, who looks much more feminine than before, proudly occupied a place in the same room as me today.
“Isn’t it more complicated if the accommodation is assigned differently every day? It’s more convenient to just go the same way as the day before.”
“·······.”
Yes. That’s obviously not wrong. Because the efficiency of the group’s system is more important than my personal likes and dislikes.
However, I wonder if it is too much to have only one bed in the dorm.
At least you can give me a room with twin beds rather than a queen bed.
I don’t know. I was so tired that I couldn’t even argue about it now, so I just trudged to the bed and collapsed.
“I’m so tired today, so I’m going to sleep right away…”
“You slept right away like that yesterday. I’m bored alone.”
“Please understand… I’m really tired You would understand if you knew what I’ve been through…”
I stared blankly at her ceiling, letting the grumbling heard from the side pass through one ear.
What does the witch of prophecy mean?
I have no idea what the final chapter is, what to choose at that time, or what not to doubt.
Why do witches tell stories like riddles instead of telling them all clearly?
She asked Sharon, whom she was talking with, after her witch had disappeared, wondering if she had guessed something, but she too shook her head and responded that she had no idea.
In the first place, Sharon didn’t even know anything about her prophecy, so it was a natural reaction to her.
Nevertheless, my intuition did not fade. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that Sharon was there with the witch’s intentional arrangement.
“What does a tired guy think?”
At some point, Gina lay down next to me and naturally started talking to me.
Unlike yesterday, I couldn’t escape to another bed and had to use the same bed, so I didn’t bother moving.
“Just. I want to go home quickly.”
I came on a trip for healing, but my HP was at the bottom because I only had a lot of deals.
If you think about it, right before I came here, I went to Ireland and struggled a lot. After all, it’s a needless trip, and it’s best to shut up in a corner of the house than go out.
“I admit that. I expected it because the kids would fly and fly, but there was nothing special and it was boring. Mama must be bored because she is alone now.”
Listening to Gina’s muttering, I burst into laughter.
“Are you worried about Ms. She is also a filial daughter.”
“Shut up. Aren’t you worried?”
To be ashamed. At first, she misunderstood because she didn’t know her well, but after getting to know her, she realized that she was a good child by nature. I wonder why it didn’t show this in the original. Does it come out after the serial I read?
Anyway, thanks to the small talk with Jina, her heavy heart became somewhat lighter. She said the witch had said something incomprehensible, but in summary, wouldn’t that mean that something big was going to happen sooner or later?
In that case, all you have to do is prepare thoroughly as you have been doing and then respond. As if you have overcome all the trials you have been through so far as a result.
While talking about it, I put it off for a while because I’ve been through too many things, so I quietly mentioned her family problems.
“… How’s the lady after that?”
“Since I do as you say, I am getting better little by little. Little by little I seem to be accepting the fact that I am a daughter.”
Gina obediently answered while avoiding her gaze, perhaps slightly embarrassed.
I met her eyes with a slight smile at her unexpectedly good news.
“Thank God.”
“Thank you.”
It was such a small voice that I almost couldn’t hear it, but it definitely reached my ears.
There was a bright blush in Gina’s flushed expression, visible even in the dark.
“Repay the favor. No matter what happens, I will help you unconditionally.”
“Cheerfully, only once?”
“Huh. If you want more, you have to pay for it.”

After that, we flirted and chatted for a while, and we fell asleep late at night.
And a few hours later at dawn.
Pooong!!
A sudden explosion rang through the dorm.
