I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 41 41. Suspicious Potion
The green potion with a suspicious color exudes a smell very similar to Fengyoujing, and its crystal clear texture is almost the same as Fengyoujing.

"what is this?"

Raj is skeptical of its effectiveness.Although she had been mentally prepared for the strange color and smell of the potion, it was hard to swallow the green liquid in front of her eyes.

"The formula specially developed by witches who like rock climbing can make the body tougher, but the limbs are more flexible than before drinking the potion, and the physical exertion is greatly reduced. There are also witches who like to take it on their wedding night to enhance battery life. Essentially, this bottle [Potion of Strength] and the efficacy of that bottle of medicinal wine are two completely different concepts."

It wasn't the first time Yue drank a strangely colored potion, and green was just the most basic one, much more normal than iridescent and muddy colors.

"In order to reassure you, I will drink first."

In front of Rui Ji, Yue raised her head and poured half a bottle of potion, and gave her the rest.

"This stuff is not poisonous, and it won't kill you if you drink it. It has been personally certified by Garner Stuart, the chief potionist of the United Nations Potions Department and also the great witch, and has obtained a patent. If you drink something wrong, I will immediately Arrested by the police witch."

"Uh... I'll try my best."

Drinking potions for the first time in life will always be a bit difficult.But since his partners drank it generously, he couldn't be too hypocritical.

Think of it as Coke or Fanta, close your eyes, and aim at the mouth of the bottle to suffocate it all at once, it doesn't seem that difficult.The cool and slightly sweet liquid travels down the throat to the stomach, becoming refreshing along the way.

It's neither good nor bad, a good taste.

After drinking half a bottle of potion, he realized that he and Yue shared the same bottle.I didn't show distaste for this, so there is nothing to care about.

Only teenagers in their [-]th and [-]th years would react strongly to such details, and Rui Ji happened to have relatively rough nerves in this respect.She burped with the scent of essential oil, and returned the empty glass bottle.

The potion began to take effect 1 minute after taking it. A light and warm current rose from the stomach and circulated in the blood and muscles, which significantly strengthened the physical strength.

With a light leap, Yue climbed up a protrusion on the rock wall of Weeping Mountain with both hands.

The vertical cliff extends upwards from the bottom, straight into the sky. Without Mrs. Yoshino's conscientious assistance, they would definitely have to take a lot of detours.

Everything is a choice of fate.

After Yue had climbed about five meters, Rui Ji followed the path she moved upwards.The negative impact of the vertical gravity of the body on the arms was reduced by the potion, and the difficulty of rock climbing was also directly reduced by several levels, so I didn't feel strenuous at all.

It's no wonder that Yue can boast that he can conquer the world's highest Mount Everest when he was 18 years old.All difficulties become pale and powerless in front of the witch's power. In the previous world line, Mount Everest is always the natural moat that prevents human beings from challenging their limits.

Countless climbers died on the way to the summit due to factors such as lack of oxygen, cold, and lack of physical strength. The most famous climber died at an altitude of 8500 meters. It is suspected that the climber "Green Boots" from India.

In the witch's world, the height of 8848 meters obviously cannot have any fatal impact on the witches. They can even create the conditions to play hot pot and barbecue on the top of the mountain, and enjoy it while overlooking the world.

During the time when Rui Ji was distracted, Yue had already climbed more than 30 meters.

Looking up from where I was, all I could see was a pair of black canvas shoes moving non-stop, and white safety pants looming under the skirt.

Safety pants will only make people feel boring, but for the witch who often flies around in the air, it is a must-have when going out.Almost all witches will buy themselves a batch of safety pants, unless they don't like wearing skirts.

The timeline in the regional ghost talk is late autumn, and the sky in late autumn gets dark very early, and there is no sunshine before six o'clock.Because the mountains in Kansai are far away from the urban area, there are no brilliant neon lights around, and there is no condition to make the whole area as bright as day, so it didn't take long for it to be so dark that it was almost impossible to see objects.

Beforehand, Mrs. Yoshino told them not to panic.When the night falls completely, the silver bell grass growing on the cliff will gradually appear, providing light sources for climbers.

There are silver bellflowers everywhere on the Weeping Mountain, and the silver-white halo has a dreamy and ethereal feeling.The cliff, which is almost invisible, is illuminated by the light of silver bellflower stamens and petals. This kind of light is not dazzling, but faint, like a special night light at night.

The place where the silver bellflower shines looks like a wide band of light wrapping around the mountain, bringing some comfort and peace of mind to those who move on a moonless night.

When every household in Asahina Town lit up their lights, Ruiji and Yue successfully climbed to the top.It is said to be a "small hill" of several hundred meters, and its height is almost 800 meters.

The Akabane Mountain next door is about 200 meters shorter than the Weeping Mountain. From the gaps in the rocks, you can vaguely see some witches riding motorized brooms with roaring sounds and fully armed patrolling the airspace above the shrine.

The costumes of the witches are very Showa, most of them wear kimonos, a black witch hat, and a lantern hanging on the broom.

Some billboards and banners were hung on the floating platform between Akabane Mountain and Weeping Mountain, prohibiting tourists from climbing and flying. It seems that the strange talk has penetrated into the hearts of these superstitious people and has become a consensus in their hearts.

Rui Ji only thought it was ridiculous, and silently laughed at their narrowness and ignorance.

The two took a rest at the top of the mountain to observe the flight path of the witches.Maybe it's because the patrol work is too boring. In addition, there have been no major incidents in these years, and the work of the patrol team is not very meticulous. It seems that the shrine's god master didn't pay them overtime, otherwise they wouldn't be so lazy.

"I saw them playing shogi and others playing cards. With such loose security, it always feels like a joke."

"Who would be motivated to work without benefits? This will make it easier for us to get people out. The shrine is closed to the public tonight, and those people's attention is focused on the main hall. It's not easy to start, otherwise I don't want to wait a day."

There are at least 20 people at the entrance of the most gorgeous building in the center of the shrine, half of which are witches and ordinary witches, which can be regarded as closely guarded.By tomorrow night, the Asahina Shrine will be open to tourists, the population density will increase, and the difficulty of getting in will plummet.

Since becoming a witch, many seemingly impossible things have become easier.

"If we can use the invisibility magic, we may be able to go home tonight, and maybe enjoy a signature tonkotsu ramen at the ramen shop."

Rui Ji sighed unrealistically.
