The Last Boss Witch Will Keep Her Past Self's Crush Until Her Dying Day

Although I barely avoided the first blow, Phantom's relentless tatami slipped me on my feet. A bundle of chains flips into the universe and is slapped.

Shit. No witchkiller left in the room. I didn't mean to, but he's been loose for a long time this past week.

"Ew!

The chains didn't hit straight thanks to rolling sideways. But the ground I was on until earlier was wide open and smoke was rising.

What a foolish power. It's an unlikely power even if you're a nuclear person.

"Ville, I'll kill you! How dare you say terrible things to Master Sonia! I won't forgive you. No, no!

Phantom was crying. Even though I'm angry, my silver eyes are pouring out of me and my tears.

Sure, I told Sonia I had no heart. He's going to poison the cooking for me and turn it into an experimental bench.

But I didn't have the guts to care about him. I told him so much, why is Phantom so angry and crying?

Because you lost your chance to eat Sonia's handicrafts?

Oh, you're about to get killed for that reason, me. No way.

"Phantom. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"No! This guy said something he shouldn't have said!

Coral chanted in a sigh mix.

[Gnome Grandi]

At that moment his feet flourished and collapsed, and quickly Phantom was buried in the earth.

"Ghaaaa......! Let me out, let me out! It's dark and small. I can't!

Phantom's pitiful screams finally made the baby cry out.

You promised. She said she wouldn't kill you in front of Frana. And if you kill Ville, Sonia will hate you. "

"Ugh, but..."

I hear a creaking voice coming from the dirt.

"Leave it to me. Otherwise, we'll stay like this all night. Okay?

"... okay. Get me out of here!

As he gave up the baby, Coral undone the soil. The muddy Phantom held his knee and was still crying hard.

I wake up scared.

"What the hell..."

"I'm sorry. But it's Ville's fault too -? I don't know anything, so I can't help it... Sonia, I'm sure I couldn't talk to you from myself."

The other witches came when they heard the noise, but Coral briefly explained the situation and sent them home. He caught one apprentice witch and told him, "Tell Sonia I'm renting Ville," he said.

"Let's change places and talk about it. Isn't that nice?

I just had to snort.

I felt pressure from Coral not to tell me whether or not to wear a bear ear kachusha or not. The witch in here is always horrible.

Besides, I can't believe you don't want to know the truth in this situation.

They took him straight to Coral and Phantom's house. Phantom was thrown into the bath and the baby started sleeping in the crib, tired of crying.

I'm covered in sand too, but I was allowed to sit near the front door. On the floor.

"Ville knows the truth about the Kingsville raid twenty years ago. You don't know the real reason why this place was built. -?"

All I know is that the witches who escaped the witch hunt rely on Aronia to gather here. I don't know the real reason and why.

Shut up and nod, Coral started talking from there.

"Simply put - after the peace treaty between Mistria and the witch was signed, the witch broke up into two forces - Faction trying to get rid of Aronia and the faction defending it"

I hear the thoughts were varied.

There were many witches with reasons such as wanting to take Jebella's revenge, letting her commit the Seven Prohibitions, and unforgivable such as joining hands with Hate Mistria. But those motives were only pre-construction and, in fact, most of the witches tried to take the treasure recipe from Aronia because they wanted to be immortal.

Advocates are complicated too.

Those who praise Aronia for stopping the witch hunt, those who fear that when Aronia is gone the witch hunt will begin again, those who simply try to sell grace and get the rose jewels accommodated......

"Wait a minute. Is the existence of a treasure famous among witches?

"That's right. There were so many Jebella disciples."

But the witches never divulged the existence of the treasure to ordinary humans. Because I feared a resumption of the witch hunt.

"I think I already predicted it - but this is where the advocates built it to protect Aronia, Kruge Yikes. Looks like they've been raided more than once in the last twenty years."

Exclusionists were not a single rock because they made it their top priority to get the recipe alone. Thus we can break through the defense of the advocates once, defeated.

If I tried Aronia, I would have been able to focus on research and not stop laughing thanks to the security around me on my own.

"I snuck in here four years ago, too. Young people."

"Ha!?"

Coral laughed mocking himself, turning the sleeves of his clothes. There was a mole like crushed fruit - a thin burn mark.

"Oh, this isn't the wound I sustained in the raid on Kruge. When I was hunting witches twenty years ago...... I was five years old. Wound when I was about to be killed by a Mistrian human. I almost got caught in the fire."

My stomach and back are more miserable, Coral grinned bitterly.

Coral sought a rose jewel to erase the ugly burn marks. If you can always be young and beautiful flesh, even scratches can be erased. Even if the jewel poison had a shorter life span, I didn't mind if I could get rid of the abominable burns.

"I carefully planned, sneaking through the junction and reaching Aronia's house without anyone noticing. But hey, there was Sonia in Aronia's house. I lost so much to a 12-year-old girl at the time."

Sonia said it was already a monstrous strength by then. He had ordered his mother to kill him relentlessly when the raiders arrived. But Sonia didn't stab Coral in the stomach, and she snuck into the cruise.

"Sonia convinced me. I can't get rid of it completely, but I'm trying to make medicine and powder so the burns don't get noticeable. I also decided to give up the jewels for a reason (...), and I tried to believe Sonia -"

It was a lot to say, but I didn't want to go into it.

"So? I found out Kruge was being attacked by a witch seeking an immortal recipe. Sonia..."

At that time Phantom appeared, both in hasty footsteps. My hair is still wet and my bedding is just woven with wings. They've been washing their bodies in a hurry. You look like a normal young man without chain accessories.

"Coral......"

Phantom hugged his wife two times smaller than himself in horror to sweeten. They don't have eyes for me.

"Sorry... eh, promise, about to break... my anger turned bright red in front of me"

"I can't help it. It's traumatic for Phantom, too."

"Okay, okay," Coral says, stroking Phantom's back, which is still sniffing.

"Phantom was sent to Kruge by the kingdom three years ago. as an experimental object of treasure."

I take my breath.

I somehow guessed about the lapse I had committed at this point.

Phantom was born with an abnormality in his nucleus and was born with an unlikely strength. His father and brother and sister neglected him for being a monster, kicked him out of the house with his mother, and said he was wandering the town alone if he realized it. While I was having trouble eating and stealing repeatedly, the kingdom finally caught me.

I've heard of it.

A few years ago, a 'Phantom of Mist Hidden' had appeared in northeastern Mistria. I heard that the horrible man died when the Knights captured him, but apparently he had altered the record and been transported to Kruge.

Phantom had many times as sturdy a body as an ordinary person. Aronia argued that harsh clinical experiments could therefore also be tolerated.

"O, I... I was poisoned every day. To put antibodies on... eh. Everyone is poisoned with the meal they are given, and if they don't eat, Aronia beats them...... in the basement, whipping them"

Rose jewels contain poison. Temporarily your body will gradually erode if you keep wearing it even when you are young.

So Aronia tried to produce a substance that could be an antibody. It turns out that incorporating antibodies into jewels can theoretically neutralize poison.

The way antibodies were made was easy. Let the experimental body take the poison diluted little by little. Those who survive neutralizing the poison are fed a single stage of thick poison. Repeat that gutsily and it will eventually become an antibody that can withstand the poison of the jewels.

Years later, however, the experiment did not work and Aronia was irritated. Some of those eight hits, and Phantom seems to have been badly abused.

There were no days when I was unconscious of death. One day I'll lose my poison and die. Or I can get whipped and run out.

In a cage beneath the sun, Phantom said he had been trembling with fear and suffering.

"But Sonia changed my meal on the day I could steal Aronia's eyes. J. with his own..."

Sonia told Phantom in the cage.

"It's okay, because I'm more resistant to poison"

That being said, the thirteen-year-old girl drank up poisoned soup at the time.

"I'm a terrible guy... three girls younger than me, and I pushed the pain!

A guy like this can't help being hit with a whip. You just have to get trampled.

Phantom covered his face and whined small.

"Aronia, hey, I've been feeding Sonia poisoned food since she was a little girl too. You're the closest witch to your body, so you're into experiments, right? Looks like my goal was to take antibodies from my daughter and finish the treasure."

From a few days before going to Lord Sunnig's mansion each month, Sonia's meal turns into something non-poisonous. Apparently Sonia was swapping that for a Phantom meal.

I thought that was it.

Aronia used children to experiment?

How can you do such a terrible thing when you are the daughter you have given birth to?

No, as much as I was letting Sonia replace the shoulder of a contract that holds the truth.

For Aronia, Sonia... everyone but herself was the worst person who could die.

Yeah, there's no point in Phantom getting angry either. What a terrible thing I said.

What an insensitive thing to do to a woman whose real mother was feeding her poisonous dishes...

I was naturally oblivious.

"Master Sonia said... 'endure another year'. That should end everything..."

It was a prophetic word without any certainty, but Phantom found hope in Sonia and waited for the year to pass with groans.

"And two years ago...... Aronia really died. In the end, he was hit by the poison of a rose jewel. No..."

But he said he didn't know any details about Aronia's death, neither Coral nor Phantom.

The final experiment may have been conducted, or the jewels may have been completed. Sonia keeps her mouth shut tight on the matter.

"I'm thinking maybe Sonia killed Aronia..."

Aronia was a genius of sorcery, and even the sisters and disciples under the Jebella Gate had no enemies. No one could possibly have taken the recipe from Aronia without having to make a cruise. She was such a strong and horrible witch.

Was Sonia enduring until her magical arm caught up with Aronia?

So that you can win even if it's a battle. And two years ago......

I remember the war.

I was sure Sonia was killing people. But I didn't even think about the possibility that I was killing my mother.

Sonia calls Aronia "Mother". I thought he admired me as a mother, even though he admitted there was a horrible part.

And Sonia herself was loved and raised dearly...

"But, you know, it was really hard after Aronia died. There was a battle inside."

Aronia was taking multiple disciples and letting them manage the materials and look after themselves. The disciples believed that one day they would be adored by the bounty of rose jewels, and endured the days when they were used like slaves.

"But Aronia died lightly, and the struggle so far is the bubble of water. The anger turned to Sonia. Give me the recipe for immortality, and I'll give you the witches who attacked Sonia."

"Me and Coral, and the elders - I killed them... the adults in here now are the ones who sheltered Sonia then..."

Phantom stared at his own palm. Is the feeling still there at that time?

"After the inside settled down, Sonia declared that she would not give anyone the recipe for the jewels and would never make them. We agreed, and then Kruge became a little calm and peaceful. Occasionally a recipe-targeting robber witch comes from the outside, but we're all working together to repel him. The truth is, Sonia, I can afford to take you down alone. But I don't want that kid to play a hard role."

Even if Aronia dies, Sonia still won't be released. A covenant with the Kingdom of Mistria...... there was a covenant to marry Prince Rain.

"Me and Phantom stopped. Regardless of the prince, the king is in danger. He said if you marry the royal family, you'll feel absolutely bad."

"But... Sonia said she would be my wife for as long as she wanted... it would be a hassle to be queen, but she said that if I married the royal family, the witches who would just be after the recipe wouldn't be able to get their hands on it either... Me, I didn't want Sonia to be gone, but I also wanted a lot of people to be blessed to be married... I wanted her to have a warm family..."

Phantom said, "Prince, die! I said," I stepped on the estate.

Did Sonia think that she could never risk her cruise because of herself? Maybe that's why I honestly accepted the marriage.

It drew blood from all over my body. We strangled Sonia at the wedding. It was even more painful now that I had done something terribly cruel.

"It's on my own - but isn't it because Sonia brought Ville inside because she didn't want to live in that house by herself?

A house ruled by Aronia. A space with dark and painful memories.

Sonia had said many times that she was happy to be home in Creuge, but never once did she say that she was happy to be home.

"Sonia doesn't really show you how she feels, does she? I wish I could be a little sweeter around or dissatisfied."

I should have known.

The loneliness of eating separate things while in the same house.

Sonia is only a sixteen-year-old girl, Coral exhaled.

"Welcome back. Did you and Phantom have a fight? You've been intact a lot."

I couldn't stay or stand, and when I rushed back to the house, Sonia was indulgent in the living room. Looks like he's taking a bath, drying his hair in a magical warm breeze.

I knelt down on the spot and bowed my head.

"I'm sorry. Hit me."

"Huh?"

Rarely and normally surprising Sonia.

"What's the matter with you all of a sudden... did you hit him in the head? Or Phantom and I could talk in our fists and be impressed by your path."

"No. I heard about your past. Last time I said something insensitive... poisonous about cooking, experimental benches"

It's an unacceptable level of rambling to apologize. I don't mind hitting him until I feel better.

Sonia chuckled when I said so.

"Oh yes, I don't know how much I've heard, but if that's the case, forgive me, nothing, nothing angry or hurtful. No need to apologize. 'Cause what happened more than two years ago is already over in me, huh?

Sonia pulled out her shoulder strength all the while stroking the surface of her nails.

It didn't look strong, but it wasn't easy to believe.

Sonia's life has been miserable. From an early age, his mother poisons him, fights witches after the recipe, incites himself to poison for an experimental subject, and on the other hand, he is rigorously educated to become queen. Two years ago I might have had a real mother in my hands.

It's just like dragging on all my life.

I don't get it.

"How can you be... laughing right now?

I was asking unexpectedly.

Even though we are free from Aronia's rule, we are faced with all the depressing things, such as the breaking of our engagement with Prince Rain and threats from the king's messenger.

"Me, you don't like to be angry or moan.... because your mother always shouted hysterically and it was so lame. I always thought I didn't want to be an adult."

"That's why"

"I'm not laughing because I can't. My cheeks naturally loosen because I'm happy now. I also expect the future. 'Cause from now on, I'm free to do anything."

I have so much to do.

Sonia seemed to really enjoy it.

"You eat delicious things, collect cute things, wear nice clothes, play a lot, and spend a lot of time at home when you're tired. I want to be praised and respected around, so I'll do my job as a pharmacist. Medicine can be a lot of money. If you had my knowledge, you wouldn't have trouble eating for the rest of your life. Even luxury."

I smiled like a prank and looked down at me with my knees on.

"But I'm sure I'll soon get tired of living like that on my own. So... hey, Ville. Let's play with me. I've seen a lot of disgusts, and I've just been putting up with it. I don't think I'll be punished for being happy. Live happily every day so that you can forget the hard past. If you stay by my side, I'll make you feel good about Ville, too, okay?

A lot of emotions swirled in my mind and I was speechless.

It sounded like a very fascinating proposition, on the other hand, to think what I tend to dream about even though I didn't solve my troubles with the royal family.

Play. I've never even thought about that before. I was always alone when I was a kid, and since I decided to be a knight, all I had in mind was to be strong.

Right. This woman is laughing because she's happy now.

I remember the words Emelda told me one day.

"It's me, and I want you to laugh at Ville! You'll be happy if you laugh!

Similar and as if different.

Now I can't laugh to be happy. I don't have that kind of energy.

But if I stay by Sonia, will I feel happy one day and naturally laugh too?

It's like wanting to be, it's scary when it does, it's a complicated feeling.

"Not yet, I don't know. But..."

"But?"

"Tomorrow I'll eat the same thing as Sonia. That's why I want you to cook me a meal."

What do you care? It was the first time I called my name in front of him. Is Sonia aware or not, she is decent.

I wonder what it is. I'm so embarrassed. I feel like I'm getting a punitive game. I stood up in a hurry and turned away.

"No, it's going to be weird to let the Lord cook meals forever? I also learn to cook properly, so teach me how to make a dedication!

Long time no see. I've squeezed so much courage.

There's heat gathering in my face and my head is going to boil.

I couldn't think of myself some time ago to beg a witch to teach me to admit that I was the Lord. My parents may also be frightened in the afterlife.

But that's enough.

Witches vary, too, as there is good and evil in ordinary humans.

Some witches are brutal and greedy, others are not.

Sonia is... not a bad witch.

"It's a favor of a lovely squire, fine. But calorie calculations and nutritional balance are so tight, so be prepared, okay?

"Okay. I know the culinary path is dangerous. It's okay."

Sonia laughed in a voice that made her ears tickle.

"Ville is honest. Simple on that. If you ever want to use a pill on Ville, let's just say it directly. Something that might work better."

I shouldn't be a bad witch...... maybe.

To make sure of that, I'm going to stay with her a little longer.
