The conversation between the two left Estelle, who was an audience and an employer, speechless to the point of not knowing what to say to them.

But after carefully observing the witch symbol on Irena's chest, she couldn't see any problem. Finally, she took a sip of the black tea she had prepared for herself, and took a long breath, trying to clear up her confused head.

Then she looked at Irena, who had never stopped talking after entering the door, and even had something in her mouth when she was speaking. Her words were a bit vague, and Irena, who was reincarnated from starvation, sighed and gave up. asked:

"First of all...Miss Irena, if you come to me, it means that you have the intention to work, right?"

"If you are asking about the intention to make money, I have it."

"What about the intention to work?"

"If I could, I'd like to make money without working."

"This...forget it...even if you don't want to work, you are still a witch anyway, this should not be fake."

Estelle, who was meeting such a strange person for the first time, sighed again and felt that she had a certain understanding of these two people, although after judging that Irena was a witch, she was basically sure that they It shouldn't be really just to eat and drink.

So next, she asked some things about Irena out of pleasantries. An Luo said at the beginning that she was just a person who came to join in the fun, but she was doing nothing while eating the biscuits that tasted ordinary due to the lack of sugar listening.

When they talked about their age and knew that Estelle became a trainee witch at the age of ten and a witch at the age of thirteen, they couldn't help but glance at Estelle's chest without leaving a trace, and were surprised in their hearts that this All genius girls in the world have the attribute of flat chest.

"...What are you looking at?" Irena noticed that An Luo was quietly looking at Estelle's chest, and immediately cast a very cold gaze. Estelle, who hadn't noticed the gaze, seemed to feel it too. Seeing something, he frowned and observed him: "Are you thinking about something very rude?"

"...not at all, please don't pay attention to me..."

An Luo, who had a hunch that if he told the truth, would be attacked by these two witches, immediately pretended that he hadn't done anything or thought about it, and looked around Estelle's extremely simple living room.

...

...

Estelle's home is clean at best, but at worst, there is almost nothing, only furniture that meets the minimum living needs and a pot of lavender, giving An Luo the illusion of dreaming of a slum.

However, in this seemingly poor room, although there is still no decoration on one wall, there are a lot of photos hanging on it, which makes the room more or less lively.

The color photos are without exception, a little girl with purple shoulder-length short hair who is about ten years old, and a little girl with blue long hair who are about the same age. These two cute little girls are intimately together. .

One of the purple-haired little girls looked vaguely recognizable as Estelle, and the other was a complete stranger.

"...I always feel that the photos of such cute girls interacting intimately are quite healing just by looking at them." An Luo, who stopped in front of the photos, couldn't help but sighed, letting Esther hug her Irena, who gave me a large bag of gold coins, suddenly turned her head and pointed at him, saying, "Hey! I heard this for real. How dare you say that you are not a lolicon now!"

"Huh? What are you thinking about with your filthy head?" An Luo looked back and sneered disapprovingly, "I just think there's something wrong with cute kids?"

"Normal people say it's nothing, but if you say it from your mouth, I feel ambiguous."

"I'm not a normal person?? Otherwise, what else can I be?"

"--abnormal."

"...I always feel hurt in various senses when this kind of thing is answered in seconds."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but he just shook his head and didn't say much. Estelle next to him had a complicated expression on his face, and he didn't know how to evaluate their conversation.

It's nothing to be praised normally, but Irena's words also gave her a strange feeling. It was really hard to accept the praise she received, but she stood up and pointed at the blue-haired girl on the wall, He said with some hesitation: "This is... my friend... I don't know if you know about the incident of "The Second-chome Murderer"."

"The incident is not very clear, but when we came to this country, we watched the stage play of "Nichome Murderer"." While speaking, An Luo glanced at Irena who was still eating biscuits, Irena also slowed down the speed of eating a little as he expected, obviously very curious about how the parties involved in the incident would evaluate the incident.

Estelle didn't care about the small movements of the two of them, she just stared at the photos on the wall and pondered for a while, then said slowly: "...Then generally it doesn't matter if I don't explain, the matter is basically the same as That stage play was about the same.”

"Have you seen it too?"

"How is it possible...how can I go to see that kind of thing." Estelle shook her head with a painful and lonely expression: "I just heard people talking about the plot."

"That's right... In this way, you are friends with that Miss Serena, is that true?"

"...friend is not the right word."

"Eh, isn't it?"

"She was my childhood playmate... She was like a sister to me."

Estelle took out a carry-on photo from her pocket, similar to the intimate photo of two lolitas on the wall, and gently stroked the little girl named Serena in the photo, slowly He said: "Although you have seen the stage play, but it has changed somewhat, let me tell you in person."

"Uh, um... I'm sorry."

Even An Luo couldn't guess why she would mention her sad things to two strangers at this time, but since the other party wanted to say it, he didn't suggest listening to it like a trash can. What a good thing.

Irena also stopped eating, drank her black tea and looked at her without saying a word. Of course, she didn't understand why the other party said such things, which were tantamount to exposing her own scars. I roughly guessed that the content of the entrustment should have something to do with this matter.

...

As the person involved in the adaptation of the real event of "The Two-chome Murderer", and one of the most important two protagonists, Estelle said that she as the executioner and arrester and Serena as the murderer are from childhood to childhood. The older ones are the younger ones, and they are even as close as sisters.

The two are like sisters, but their identities and backgrounds are quite different. Estelle is a genius magician, Serena is just an ordinary girl from a wealthy family, but the relationship between the two is very good...But At about the 11th year so far, they separated.

Estelle, who showed amazing talent as a magician when she was just a child, left Zhongxiang Rostrov 11 years ago in order to study. She spent five years practicing magic abroad and was promoted from a wizard to a trainee witch. In the end, she was approved by the mentor and became a witch, and was hired by the king with a high salary after returning.

In every sense, Estelle is considered a winner in life, after all, becoming a witch is basically synonymous with success.

But when she returned home and was ready to share the joy of success with Serena, she couldn't be happier because... her childhood playmate who was like a sister, Serena became a killer A murderer for pleasure.

"——But...that child was not like this at the beginning, that child was originally a girl with a cold mouth, but a very gentle heart!"

Estelle tried her best not to cry out, the hand holding the photo couldn't help trembling, she suppressed the pain in her heart and murmured the reason for the change: "After I went abroad for a year, Serena's parents She was stabbed and killed dozens of times by a robber wearing a black cloak who robbed the house. Although Serena, who happened to go out, escaped, she lost her parents and was adopted by her poor uncle. beginning......"

"specifically is?"

"She was abused at her uncle's house, so her supposedly kind heart was distorted, making her hate humans and the world, and finally went on a road of no return after killing her uncle, seeking pleasure. Killing, killing people over and over again."

"Is it true that you were caught and executed by yourself three years ago?" An Luo asked carefully observing Estelle's face.

"This is true...but, I really wanted to let her go, I think that child will definitely correct...But I cut her down under the pressure of His Majesty the King and the people s head......"

"That's it...it's really a sad story, but the matter has come to this point, please let me be sad."

"No! I, I can't just accept this!"

Estelle bit her lips tightly, almost groaning and rejecting the mourning, or what she really rejected was "accommodating the accident".

"Uh... Let's put it this way, we... No, you hired Irena to dig her grave? Turn that Serena into a ghoul to accompany you?"

"Huh? This me..." Irena, who asked about the salary persistently without asking about the job content, looked at a large bag of gold coins on the table that would allow her to travel extravagantly for three years. , hesitantly looked at An Luo, pointed at him, and ordered: "I'll give you ten gold coins, you go."

"Are you a contractor?! Saying so much about yourself, you only gave me 10 gold coins after subcontracting. Isn't that too black-hearted?!"

"That's twelve."

"At least fifty."

"Isn't your asking price too harsh?!"

"You are too stingy! Add two gold coins to send beggars?"

...

...

Uneven distribution of the spoils is the biggest reason why An Luo and Irena quarrel from time to time, and at this moment it is another spoilage... no, it is not a spoils, it is an uneven distribution of benefits, which leads to two people bargaining, which makes Ai Si Dai'er sighed again: "...you two, can we discuss how to divide the money later? The most important thing is not to discuss how to transfer the project or steal it in front of me, the client. It's a matter of oil and water."

"It's over, I forgot!" Irena covered her mouth subconsciously, but An Luo showed a tricky smile, waved her hand and said: "It's okay, you were fired, and then...Miss Estelle, I just Just need fifty gold coins, even if it is buried in the imperial tomb, I can get it out for you, well, although it is impossible to be buried in the imperial tomb."

"No, you guys misunderstood, I didn't intend to steal the corpse." Estelle shook her head lightly.

"That is.....?"

"I want to start over."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"...I, since I started working in this country as a witch, especially since the day Serena was executed, I have been studying magic in order to go back to the day when the incident happened ten years ago."

"seriously?"

"Just go back 10 years.....surely avoid the unfortunate outcome! That kid was normal [-] years ago! This way.....will definitely be able to create a future where Serena is alive and living a normal life !"

Estelle, who lowered her gaze, trembled again with her slender fingertips, and made a lot of folds in this supposedly precious photo, her tone was filled with pain, and she vowed not to give up until she reached her goal. Feeling: "I—I don't want to live in this world without her anymore!"

"...Is that so? Uh...have you researched the magic of jumping time?"

Both An Luo and Irena were shocked by Estelle's words.

Although they all guessed that the content of the commission had something to do with the murderer, at most they thought it was just moving the murderer's grave, or going to the wilderness to collect a corpse or something. These Estelles, as witches hired by the state good thing to do.

But they never expected that she would be so crazy that she wanted to change the existing history.

"We understand your thoughts and we still have an entrustment for this matter, but..." Couldn't bear to see Estelle's pained face, Irena looked away and lowered her head to take a sip of black tea, looking down at the table. He let the topic return to the focus of the entrustment and asked: "I don't understand what method you want to use to go back, and why do you need the help of other magicians in this regard?"

"Going back to the past consumes a lot of magic power beyond imagination, so... well, you will know when you come with me."

While talking, Estelle stood up, walked towards the closed bedroom door deep in the room, and motioned for the two of them to follow her, and together they came to another room inside the house.

Compared with the previous living room, which even thieves would not patronize, this dark room has many more things. There are books on the two semi-open cabinets, and a large number of bottles and cans, but the most conspicuous It is a large water tank placed on the table.

"The smell of blood is so strong... Could it be your blood in it?" As soon as he entered here as a joiner, An Luo's thoughts subconsciously locked on the water tank, and he guessed the water tank at the first time source of blood.

"Oh? How do you know it's my blood?"

Estelle, who was about to explain, slightly widened her eyes.

"No, it's very simple, right? You just said that going back to the past requires huge magic power. If a magician wants to obtain magic power beyond his own level, he can choose to sacrifice some of his own things, right? Such as voice, memory, sense of smell, Hearing, vision, blood, hands, feet, etc., if you look at it, there is no problem, so there is a high probability that it is blood, and what a magician sacrifices can only be his own and cannot be someone else's. There is blood here. Of course it will only be your own blood."

"What a great insight."

"I think it's quite ordinary...Compared to this, how long have you accumulated so much blood?"

"It's been a long time..." Estelle pulled up her sleeves while speaking, revealing a large number of purple pinholes similar to bruises on her slender forearm, and continued: "In these years, I They are constantly drawing their own blood and injecting as much magic power as possible, but it is still a little bit short, but now it is almost enough to add all the magic power on my body."

"Although it doesn't feel good to interrupt, but your subcutaneous congestion is very serious. It is obviously caused by the local compression after the blood draw, and the choice of the blood draw site is also very particular. Why do you not know medical skills and are so reckless? Fuck, it's easy for you to get into trouble like this."

An Luo, who was half a doctor, couldn't help but say something to her about this messy behavior.

"Huh, yes, is that so? I thought it would be like this..." The years of experience in blood drawing were denied, or the method of blood drawing was wrong for so many years, so Estelle couldn't help showing a surprised expression: " But aren’t you a fortuneteller? How do you understand such things?”

"Well, I have a lot of part-time jobs, including a doctor. Even if you don't stop the bleeding, you should at least use magic to heal your wounds, right?"

Speaking casually, An Luo took out his wand and used the magic of turning back time, so that the wound on the girl's hand quickly returned to a smooth and white state.

Although the name of this magic is time reversal, but because it does not really reverse time, so you can choose not to let the blood in the water tank go back, or... the blood (cells) in the water tank has been dead for so long Well, even if you go back, it doesn't make sense.

"My magic power is basically injected into it, and I basically have no way to use magic... But, thank you," Estelle was a little surprised. It turned out that An Luo was also a magician, and then smiled at He nodded and put his sleeves down again.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands." An Luo smiled not too concerned.

The way the two looked at each other and smiled made Irena, who felt neglected, couldn't help coughing dryly "cough!", so that both parties' attention was drawn to her.
