As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

S]

Will held the letter in his left hand and sighed.

"Mr. S, you are so perceptive - I thought my left hand would be pretty good at writing, too, and it would be perfect."

He picked up the pen, hesitated again and again, and finally wrote the words with his left hand.

"Mr. S is so worried about me, so I'd better tell him the truth as much as possible... Well, but I don't want to reveal too much private information. How about using the excuse 'I was burned by a witch with a flame because I didn't sleep in time'?"

"Ah...isn't it a little too childish?"

"It's okay. For a teenager, it's just right. It's not bad for the mature and reliable Mr. S to think that I'm still a little boy, and maybe he'll take more care of me."

Will finished the letter proudly.

then……

Enter the daily routine of "checking task completion".

That is--

He stared blankly at the "Mission System" that he had opened to the middle page.

He looked at the classic "Task 38" at the top of the opened book and 39 at the bottom.

[Mission 38: Block a blow, shock the witch, find an opportunity, negotiate with her, use coercion and inducement, gain trust, and enter the chapter of Witch Leia. 】

[The series of tasks reaches 41, and the reward is: Yi Aier’s exclusive ancient magic book-Su Bing Array. 】

……

[Task 39: Obtain information about her client from Leah’s mouth. 】

[Task reward: To be filled in. 】

……

[Task 40: Help Leah Jam’s research on ancient magic. Note: Important props: bloody peppermint essential oil. 】

[Task reward: To be filled in. 】

……

[Task 41: Help Leah win the scientific research competition and get "Su Bing Array" from the vice dean! 】

[Task reward: The ancient book "Su Bing Array". 】

He scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.

——Of course it’s not about worrying about what to give yourself as a reward for the task.

But...

This is the first time that the actual situation deviates greatly from the written task.

In the previous four years, Yi'er was too obedient, and he himself took steps step by step.

No, this is not just a deviation, it can even be said to be a failure, right? !

Fortunately, I stopped four years ago and didn't leave any room for punishment in this book - well, it seems that the systems generally used for cheating rarely include punishments, so don't embarrass yourself.

It would be fine if it was an unimportant task.

Unfortunately, this mission involves more than just Leah.

The first is "Su Bing Array".

This ancient book was described in the original work as the final reward of the fire-attribute magic research competition of Entak First Academy.

The school matches up with Leah and his school, the ancient books match up with the research direction of witches, and the attributes match up with the attributes that Leah is good at, so this book must be a prop for Leah in the original work!

Unfortunately, no.

This information in the original work comes from the protagonist in Entak Second Academy. Leah's memories and follow-up have nothing to do with this book.Yiel learned this trick in the later period and got it accidentally from other teams exploring the dungeon. He didn't even get this book.

So why does this toilet paper contain an important prop that doesn’t appear later?

Forget it, it’s good that the toilet paper didn’t eat the book, so why do we expect to recycle it?

"Hmm... But if that's the case, no wonder I wrote down tasks 39 and 40 four years ago to help Leah."

Four years ago, when I was reviewing the plot of the original work from memory, I probably made a bold guess...

Leah didn't win this scientific research competition at all!

So she never got the book!

Naturally, there is absolutely nothing about this book in her plot and props!

Yes, it fits the imagination of a stupid and reckless witch with a strong tongue.

In this way, based on the blank parts of the original work, the book will have a chance to be in my hands - I only designed such a task four years ago.

Wow, this system is so awesome, with interlocking links and rich rewards. Who designed it?

"Forget it, let's not boast. After all, there are other key tasks..."

The second key task is the "client".

That is, in the plot of the original work, the mastermind behind the commission paid Leia, who had made herself broke for scientific research, to plan an attack.

The original work did not specify who the "client" of the attack was - these details, which were only related to the life and death of the supporting characters, were blurred to make way for the love and hatred of the protagonist.

but……

Will wondered.

This is not only for revenge, but also for him to figure out the hidden plot surrounding Will and the System family.

This was also where he was particularly confused when he was reviewing the plot of the original work and adapting it in his previous life.

Is it appropriate that for such an important family, the clues end with a cannon fodder who can kill him?

If we can figure out the client, we might be able to access this hidden thread—at least we can know who is secretly working against the System family.

Leah happens to be the one who holds the clues about the mysterious client.

But now, whether it is "Subing Formation" or the client who wants to kill him... they are all stuck because Leah is in a hurry to run away.

"Why would such a powerful witch run away... Could it be... that she was scared away by the Yiel I raised?!"

Without contact with Leah, there is no way to participate in the scientific research competition where "Subing Array" is the final reward.

Without contact with Leah, there was no way to get specific information about the client from her.

So, the top priority now is...

How to catch that little girl Leah? !

Chapter 20 Witches Association

"Fishing for Leah...catching a Leah, fishing for a little soft Leah..."

After clarifying the main contradiction and setting the main goal, Will began to think about what to do.

How to catch a witch cat who is arrogant, lonely and possibly timid?

the most important is……

Bait!

He had to come up with something that would make Leah come to her door in person.

Will read back the reply letter from Mr. S to him.

The one mentioned there...

"Witch Coin".

He took out the coin he had found at that time from his coat pocket - it looked very valuable, and he always carried it with him to prevent it from being stolen.

If you look closely at this coin, you will find that the material is indeed unusual. It is very light, but its feel and weight are close to the silver coins issued by the Empire.

The portrait of the witch in the big hat is carved so lifelike that it has not been damaged even after being burned, and it is obviously imitating the king's head on the imperial coins, and the movements are almost exactly the same.

Except for that mocking smile.

Although its origin was obvious, it was something picked up from the ground after all. To be on the safe side, Will still checked Mr. S - he was like an artificial intelligence that answered all questions.

"I see, it really comes from the Witches Association."

Witches Association... This matches Leia's life experience in the original work. It can be determined that this coin is highly related to her, and it must be something left behind when she fired the extreme fire meteor.

The Witch Association was founded 500 years ago by Ya'er, a witch who was good at many ancient magics. She killed countless dungeons and caused no peace outside the dungeons. It is even said that she and her descendants were transformed into immortals. Now come Look, he is a legendary figure.

In modern times, there are many people pretending to be members of the Witch Association. For example, they claim to be able to defeat the tenth-floor BOSS of a certain dungeon by themselves, but then they abandon the adventure team when they are about to open up wasteland. They don't know ancient magic at all, and they don't even know the books on ancient magic. I haven’t seen it yet, but he actually started a class to teach knowledge and experience. Later it was discovered that the ancient magic he taught was modern magic and he read it in the Japanese language on the other side of the sea. He claimed that he was a descendant of a witch and that the children he gave birth to would not age. I defrauded many people into getting married, and a few decades later, the white-haired person married the black-haired person - well, there don't seem to be many black-haired people in the world.

These imposters have resulted in a very poor reputation for this organization.

But Leah...is the real deal!

She is a descendant of the legendary witch from 500 years ago. She has eternal youth and strong adaptability to magic. Her mother also holds a large number of ancient books, which contain a lot of ancient magic.

They would never appear in the human world.

Usually I find a mushroom hut in the deep forest, live in seclusion, and do my own magic.

They have long lifespans, much higher magical talents than ordinary people, and a unique set of ancient magic.

therefore……

They are somewhat afraid of contact with humans. Contact means separation. They are afraid of request, which means bondage. They are afraid of commitment, which means reward.

but!

These settings that sound very life-span-theoretical, put it on Leia...

Only Tsundere is left!

In the original work, the male major cared for her in every possible way as a logistician. Although she had a lifespan of hundreds of years, she lived in the forest with her mother for a long time and had almost no contact with people and lacked common sense.She doesn't understand human common sense and financial management, and is short of money or extremely short of money at all times.

The male protagonist of the original work helped her wash her clothes and cooked her home-cooked meals.

——"Hmph, this is what logistics should do. I, I won't thank you, just do the work honestly!"

Take her crazy girl shopping and buy suitable clothes for her who is a little older.

——"You don't think that I will fall in love with you if you do such a thing, do you? You are just a small support person and you still want the favor of this witch?"

Help her see through the scam and provide her with room and board when she is penniless.

——"That's it? If they weren't so cunning, I wouldn't need you at all!"

That's it, the arrogant and arrogant person in Dian, when he meets someone he actually likes, he subconsciously escapes, and even scolds the other person to keep him away from him.

Originally, when the male protagonist first saw her, he thought she looked small and took care of her as a younger sister.

After being pushed back and forth, the male protagonist in the original work, who was relatively dull and didn't understand the girl's heart, naturally felt that she hated him, so he distanced himself.

You see, it’s a make-or-break dog.

Back to the present, why does Leah, who lives in the deep forest, appear at Entak First Academy?

According to the time calculation of the original work, Leah's mother left without saying goodbye two years ago and disappeared after exchanging letters for several years. So Leah had to take the few things in her mushroom hut and embark on a journey to find her relatives. .

At Entak First College, Leah was also following some clues left by her mother - such as an ancient book that her mother gave to Entak College...

That's right, that ancient book is "Su Bing Formation".

She wouldn't leave Ntak Academy for a while, and she still had plenty of time to fish.

But... this witch coin is too bad as "bait".It can only be used once and is so small that it can easily be stolen.

Will's eyes returned to the letter and the essential oil next to the letter.

"Bloody Mint...wait, Bloody Mint, I remembered it!"

Will had an important clue.

“Young Master——!”

——Then, he was angrily interrupted by Yiel outside the door.

"Ah...E-Eire. Good evening?"

"You don't even look at what time it is now! You're not sleeping yet!"
