(EP.215)Wedding in the Forest #2
215 – Wedding in the Witch Forest #2
I’ve heard quite a bit about the great boreal forest-witch forest located to the north.
“wisdom.”
A mysterious estate that has been ruled by the Tarantera family since a very long time ago.
“Lawless.”
Even within Angmar, the Galapagos is a lawless land infested with all kinds of mystical heretics, heretics, and seekers of magic.
The dense forest of tall trees hides ancient truths and secrets.
“The hideout of sinners.”
In particular, it was an ambiguous place where the criminals could not easily chase after them and send people to this witch forest if they had to do anything.
“You’re not even a rat in the rain, what are you muttering to yourself? It’s best to be quiet at night in the witch forest. Even we, who are used to the forest, can rest quietly in the hut at night.”
Aira’s new attendant, Lily, advised outside the cave that it was best to remain quiet until the veil of darkness was lifted. This guy seems to be more familiar with the Witch Forest than I do.
One answer.
“Lily, you were a witch too.”
“Then what did you think? Funny, really. How can you not know anything about me? Tarantera must have been talking about me.”
Lily had no doubts that I knew about her.
As I’ve said before, I’ve never heard of Lily from Aira.
If you tell the truth, Lily will raise her hair upright and say, “Don’t lie!” in anger, so there’s nothing she can do and only savor her.
Totally picky and naughty sissy. This is beyond the tsundere, squid, and tsundere.
You should pinch your ass when you sleep.
So, I watched for a long time when Lily was sleeping.
But maybe this guy has noticed my plan, he doesn’t sleep and keeps sharpening things like tree branches with a dagger.
At first, I thought they were making arrows or hunting tools to catch rabbits. The way he pulled out a few strands of his own hair and braided them together was like a dreamcatcher.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, rather than calling it a dreamcatcher… .
“totem?”
“Heh, I know.”
Yes. That was a totem. I don’t know what abilities he has.
Anyway, depending on whether you can make such a magical tool or not, there is a difference between a witch and a wizard.
If magicians, including myself, create predictable and regular miracles through mana or various materials and resources that have already been identified in the world.
It is said that witches create unpredictable variables using unknown ancient magic or unknown karma.
Actually, I heard that most of the wizards before Solomon were close to those witches, witch doctors, and shamans, but I didn’t know because I didn’t listen to many lectures on more detailed stories.
What matters now is that Lily was a witch.
It was something I expected slightly from the time I used simple magic and moved Walpurgis, the bodyguard of the Tarantera family, at will.
Moongrass, moonshine.
It’s a little strange to see them making totems like that.
“What power does that totem have?”
“It’s a spider stalking totem. As the name suggests, chase away the spiders. All kinds of beasts and bugs are infested at night in the witch forest, so I can’t sleep without it.”
“That’s right.”
My eyes watched the spiders crawling at the entrance to the cave. The size of the palm of your hand. very big
When the totem was completed, they fled out of the cave, shaking their bodies as if they had been hit with insecticide.
━Creung… !
I wondered why spiders growl like wild beasts, but in a world where squirrels bark, there was nothing strange about spiders growling. After all, this is Aira’s dream.
“I learned magic from Tarantera myself, but I didn’t even know about totems. It’s meaningless to hang pearls around a pig’s neck.”
Does Lily think I learned magic from Aira?
Well, there were a lot of people who thought so. It is said that because I honed my magic under Aira, I reached the level of the 5th rank called the Archmage.
This guy looks similar.
「Calmly judge the situation!
You gain experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.
All job experience + 5”
Right. Well, if you look closely, it’s not really wrong. Because Ira helped me in many ways.
“Leading a half-elf like you to the level of an archmage. After all, Tarantera-sama is amazing.”
“Ugh. Well, yes.”
It was something I had felt from the moment we met, but this guy seemed to like Aira very much. No, wouldn’t this be more of a kind of adoration or reverence beyond liking?
However, considering that Aira didn’t say a word to me about this guy, it seems that the direction is probably one-sided.
“I already wasted three days because you woke up late. I don’t know how time passes between the outside and the inside here. I have to find Tarantera-sama tomorrow, so be aware of that.”
Shrek.
Finally, Lily lay down on an empty spot and closed her eyes. Then, as if thinking of something, he uses a branch to draw a line between me and himself.
“I know I’m going to get really scolded if I get over this. okay?”
“It’s funny. Who ever touched a kid like you?”
“… kid? While he was much more childish. It’s in a dream, so I’m proud that I’m a little taller-!”
“It’s noisy, so go to sleep.”
“… … !”
It looked like she had something to say, but Lily quickly turned her back to me and lay down. When I heard a tight, even breathing sound from such a guy.
In order to take revenge on him, I took out the raspberries I had found and picked before going to the cave from my pocket and ate them by myself.
You idiot, you wouldn’t know that I was eating it all by myself. I was going to share it, but I didn’t have any cheap ones, so I decided to eat it all by myself.
* * *
The dawn came when the birds were chirping.
As I watched the blue birds fluttering outside the cave, I pinched her cheek, thinking it would be ok to wake up Lily.
“Hey, wake up. How long will you be sleeping?”
“profit… !”
Lily, whose cheeks were pulled towards me, flapped like a crucian carp that had been pulled out of the shore, then got up and looked at me.
“what? What?”
“How long will you be sleeping?”
“… … .”
He wrinkled his brow as if he had a lot to say, and then he sighed and got up, wiping the dust off his body. This guy must have felt it too. It was hard to get to know each other.

Goo-. Then someone’s stomach rumbled loudly.
“Heh heh-.”
The culprit was embarrassed, so he started to smoke, but he probably wanted to wrap it up as a weird laugh, not a sound from hunger.
That’s funny.
“How hungry are you? I thought it was thunder.”
“What, what!?”
I threw a bunch of mushrooms at that guy.
“I picked up something while you were sleeping, so eat it when you are hungry.”
The guy who received it raised his forehead slightly.
“What, these are mostly poisonous mushrooms.”
I did. I thought it was an edible mushroom because it was pure white and mild, but it must have been poisonous.
“And this… .”
Lily, who had been digging through the piles of mushrooms, picked up a blue mushroom and paused for a moment.
“This is a mushroom that went extinct long ago.”
“Can I eat it?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering my words, he kept his mouth shut. shitty guy.
After eating only edible mushrooms, we went outside the cave together.
The grass and leaves of the morning dew give off a refreshing scent, which makes me feel pretty good. However, the footprints in the forest are quite eerie.
slurp.
Then the balloons wrapped around my wrist started to sway somewhere. It’s a balloon that moves freely even when the wind doesn’t blow.
It began to point in one direction like a piece of iron attracted to a magnet, and we could tell it was guiding us in that direction by looking at it.
“Let’s go.”
I led Lily, who was drooling as I pinched my cheek, and walked in the direction the balloon was leading.
The unorganized forest road was very bumpy, and there were times when I had to climb a hill or walk on a slope, but my body was strangely light.
It’s really light.
“Hey, let’s go together!”
“Am I too fast?”
I walked as usual, but the stride seems to be different.
Yes, my body used to be like this.
Because I was full of health and vitality because I did a lot of hard work part-time. Once again, the half-elf’s body feels just how much of a penalty.
It was when we found a number of totems hanging from branches that we stopped while walking so forwardly.
Dreamcatchers made using the skulls of birds, goats, sheep, and other bizarre beasts, and the sight of colorful amulets hanging from high branches and swaying.
“You look spooky?”
But unlike me, who was scared, Lily’s expression was quite bright.
“It’s the realm of witches. From here on, it’s the territory of Tarantera. It is a token of Walpurgis.”
“That’s right. So you’re almost there?”
“You have to be careful from now on. Because there might be sergeants living there. Maybe we’ll get kicked out because we’re outsiders. It is also a warning indicator.”
“Do not work.”

Can I think of the gargoyles that were standing at the entrance of the Draco family?
I unconsciously touched my left arm.
Originally, Marmar’s tail was always protecting me, but in my dreams, maybe I couldn’t bring it in, so my left arm was completely empty.
still.
Even in my dreams, I can use magic like I thought, so I think I will be able to protect my body.
So I passed the witch’s mark and went deeper into the forest, and found something strangely wriggling.
ㅡAhhhh-.
It was as if covered in black slime and melted. Wouldn’t it be just like that if you put a sticky blanket over a person’s body?
tooth profit.
Such a strange amorphous object roams around, creating black soot. It’s weird though.
“What is that?”
Hiding behind the bushes, I asked Lily, who said in a very quiet voice with a wrinkled brow.
“That’s a Melted bandit.”
“You mean melted thieves?”
“okay. Robbers who have been caught in the traps of witches and melted are swarming in this forest. It may melt if touched, so be careful. You better avoid it or wait.”
Lily showed a passive attitude. Certainly, the appearance of rusty swords and arrows studded here and there is terrifying.
-Ugh-.

Gurgling gurgling.
If you look closely, you can even see the bones of those who appear to have been sacrificed entangled in the solution.
Salang, Salang-.
However, the path the balloon is pointing in is straight in the direction that Melted Bendit is heading. If you miss this, you might go back more ways.
“Can I knock you down?”
“Hey, did you see? That solution has been specially treated, so it won’t even work with magic below the third hierarchy.”
“It’s the third rank.”
As a 3rd-level battle mage, he is quite the first-class. It was just one of the passing points for me now.
Shrek.
I lightly pointed my hand at him. Lily snorts at the sight.
“What are you going to do? You don’t even have a handsome imp tail wand.”
“Be quiet. I have to focus.”
The magic I use has to be particularly good at calculating coordinate values compared to other magics. So, it requires quite a bit of concentration.
“… … .”
I finally snapped my fingers, finally shutting Lily’s mouth.
“It’s here.”
just-. At the same time as the clear sound resounded, a sudden sack wind blew from beneath the man’s feet, tearing his body to pieces.
Whew-.
ㅡ Guy ee-!

Cheeky, Cheeky.
The bandit that melted after sprinkling the sticky liquid in all directions soon shattered into fragments. I think I will be able to use ‘Pacheon Dolgae Island’, one of my attack magics, even without a wand.
The magic works amazingly well.
“Well, now we can go forward.”
As I confidently asked, Lily closed her mouth, which was slightly open, and snorted.
“… heh, what If you had learned from Tarantera yourself, you should of course do this.”
I can’t be honest. Still, strictly speaking, this is true.
The magic starting method by flicking your fingers is inspired by Aira’s telekinetic operation.
Tried it for the first time and it’s pretty useful.
It’s good enough to use when I’m not pulling out the wand.
Right, just-.
– Whoa-!
-Gee-eh-!
Whenever we moved forward, a melted bandit or beast blocked our way. Of course, it is not bothersome for me as it can be easily organized with a single flick of a finger.
“Hey, hey, there’s an apple there! Get that one too!”
However, Lily, who was quietly sucking the honey, didn’t like it. It’s not enough to stay still, so you’re even following my apology.
swipe.
I waved my palm upwards lightly.
Whoops.
Soon a strong gust of wind blew and lifted Lily’s skirt. Bewildered by that fact, the guy holds his skirt tight and blushes.
“Lord, are you going to die? I saw… !”
“What you looking at. I didn’t do anything. There is a little wind in this forest.”
“Black Race!
Acquires ‘Horny’ job experience. + 50”
It’s been a long time since the experience of a horny person has risen.
That was the moment when I was admiring myself.
phut-!
A balloon that was wrapped around my wrist blew up. At that fact, I and Lily, the servant who was growling towards me, also stopped talking.
Why did this suddenly explode?
Time’s ticking!
