Oops, I became the witch's substitute

"I think I know."

There are surprises.

"What is the taste?"

"Why do you ask? What's the point?"

"curious."

"Why are you curious? Did you eat it?"

"If you haven't eaten, just ask."

"You'll know if you try it."

"If you don't want to answer, just shut up."

"let me see……"

The murmurings in this place began to increase, beings gathered together, the discussions became more and more numerous, and it became lively.

Back to reality……

The news of Luna's challenge to the amnesia mushroom spread like wildfire in the small circle. The nameless goddess said that the amnesia mushroom was sweet, which caused many witches to be dissatisfied. The surrounding witches suddenly flocked to the hotel, coming to challenge her, which made the already busy Fili even worse.

Fili roared and chased them away: "The Witch Banquet will start soon, so stop asking about the amnesia mushroom. My hotel is not a wholesaler of amnesia mushrooms. If you want to challenge this mushroom, go find it yourself!"

This year's banquet had already been postponed. If it is delayed further, it might have to be postponed to next year. Fili finally managed to complete the task, but even so, the witch outside kept making trouble.

In the end, Carol had to make a sign and play Fili's voice continuously - the amnesia mushrooms are sold out, don't challenge the amnesia mushrooms out of boredom.

Even so, Fili could still catch two or three familiars such as birds and mice every hour, and she felt that the hotel needed to keep a few big cats.

Witches are indeed a group that lacks discipline. It is too difficult to make them abide by the order, and they always bring some unexpected surprises to Fili.

Because there were too many people having fun, it vaguely showed that the witches could not live, but they could not lose the courage to live. Faced with her, the new great witch, many witches not only did not give up, but instead changed from challenging Mushroom to challenging Fili. Fili was sweating profusely.

Gossip is a kind of fun, and it just so happens that witches often use their familiars to explore gossip, which leads to an increase in the number of familiars secretly sneaking into Fili's room. As a result, she is busy preparing banquets during the day and playing hide-and-seek with the witches at night. She is so tired that she wants to overturn the table.

Finally, the preparations for the Witch's Banquet were completed. Fili found Hecate, and Hecate found Dorothy. The three of them used magic to teleport food and tools to the Witch's Forest and began to set up the venue.

On this day, Fili rushed to the Witch Forest in the early morning. All the members of the Black Cat Pavilion were mobilized. Carol just had to disguise herself as an ordinary witch to sneak in, and everyone went all out.

At the same time, Fili's dance partners can also form a group, and the elves are eager to try.

The Water Witch looked around the forest and said, "The last time I came to the Witch Forest was about seventy years ago, right?"

Sylph sat on a tree branch: "For me, two years."

Fu Kai squatted under the tree: "One hundred and twenty-seven years, six months, seventeen days..."

A red-haired elf habitually hugged her chest. She had a tall figure and a curious expression: "This is my first time here. I have never been active in Miriam."

The Water Maiden smiled and raised her hand: "You are still alive. I haven't contacted you in recent years, and you didn't reply to my letters. In the end, I used the power of the spreading flame to find a suitable contractor and came here."

"You are too leisurely. I am indeed curious about the witch named Fili. The witch you admire must be quite capable." The fire elf said with a stern expression. "Now the strange fog is spreading from Kalan. Only fire can dispel the terror. For the sake of this planet, the fire elves must stand up."

Sylph put her hands together and said, "You alone are not enough, so shouldn't we take action as well?"

Fu Kai also raised her head and looked at the fire spirit: "With Fili's relationship, we can regroup and investigate the gray fog in the abyss and eliminate the source of its existence."

The birth of the Gray Mist is a phenomenon that distorts nature, and it is naturally in an irreconcilable relationship with the elves.

The Water Maiden waved her hand and said, "It's too boring to talk about work in this environment today. We haven't had a rest for a few days since what happened to Kalan. Let's enjoy this rare opportunity."

As she spoke, the Water Priestess picked up a cup of Moon Dew, bit the straw and looked around.

As time goes by, more and more witches come and go in the Witch Forest. Dorothy manipulates plants to arrange the venue, Hecate's animal companions speed up the distribution of food, and at the same time, the Sword Witch Surad begins to organize people to investigate spies.

There were several times more witches at the night banquet this year than last year, and Surad felt a lot of pressure. The pressure mainly came from two points. First, there were new faces to be reviewed. Miriam had always had a limited increase in the number of witches participating in the night banquet, but this rule was broken this year. New witches appeared from time to time, and a large number of men in women's clothing simply increased her workload. Second, the reserves of female body transformation potions were running out. In the past, she only had to catch seven or eight thieves and send them back. This year, she caught wandering spies in the forest in the afternoon alone, which was really not easy.

There were many male spies, and naturally there were many female spies as well. A group of young girls or female sorcerers were also captured, all of whom wanted to find out about Fili's true situation, and some of them wanted to deliberately sabotage the banquet.

I don’t know what rumors are spreading outside, saying that this year’s night banquet will contain important secrets that will affect the future of the witch.

"Actually... there are just too many people."

Hecate felt a little helpless.

Fili's identity as the great witch does not require publicity, nor does she need to be awarded any medals. Her achievements are known to the people. She naturally enjoys the treatment and interpersonal relationships of a great witch, and fulfills the duties of a great witch. This is something that everyone can see.

The new witches, on the other hand, liked to gossip and spread rumors. They were impressed by Miriam's good atmosphere, and some of them actually believed that the banquet had great significance, so they rushed in. Most of them wanted to see what Fili looked like.

Witches generally like petite and cute or mature and generous members of their own race.

Hecate floated on a three-meter-high cauldron and stirred the soup spoon with all her strength: "After a careful look, there are actually only one-third new faces. Most of them are occasional visitors in previous years."

Fili felt that the scale of this year's banquet was too large: "Hecate, make more mushroom soup. I'm afraid there won't be enough to share this year..."

Hecate was slacking off this year and was only responsible for making mushroom soup for everyone. She took a break from her busy schedule to count the number of people: "The stars told me that there are more people gathered here than last time I read the stars. There are already about 800 people, and maybe there will be 1,000. Wow, are all the witches from all over the world gathered here?"

Fili wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Didn't you say seven hundred before?"

Hecate smiled and said, "Before, it was before. After your inn's amnesia mushrooms were discovered, there are quite a few witches who brought amnesia mushrooms to communicate today. Look over there."

Following Hecate's gaze, Fili saw some witches seated in groups of three or five. They took out their own mushrooms and introduced them to each other, then ate one and forgot the next. Some were communicating seriously, some were betting to win money, and some were simply entertaining the newbies.

Fili held her forehead with her hand. She had no experience in organizing a banquet for so many people. Last year, she observed that there were only a dozen tables at Hecate's banquet. The witches were crowded together and seemed to have a large number of people. As time went on, the banquet venue was already packed with people.

"The current situation is totally different from the number of people you told me before. Fortunately, many witches brought their own dry food, otherwise we wouldn't be able to supply so many witches with meals. All right, quickly release these desserts!"

Charlotte was very busy at this stage. The witches started to come in from the afternoon. She was responsible for providing desserts. The more people came, the greater the consumption. Seeing that her candies were loved by people, Charlotte was worried about the shortage of stock, so she used materials nearby and dismantled all the candy houses in the Witch Forest and brought them to the venue.

The witches have an endless love for sweets, and sweets may also go to another stomach.

Charlotte's supply of sweets finally lasted until nightfall, and as spies captured batch after batch, the banquet was finally ready to begin.

Fili shook Marian in the corner, asking her to lay out the special effects quickly.

"Hurry up and don't become a useless goddess who just eats and waits for death. Don't slack off in the tasks assigned to you!" Fili grabbed Marian's wings.

"Okay, I know! Be gentle, be gentle!" Marian complained, and began to use her divine power to illuminate the Witch Forest. "Why should I, the great goddess Arius, work for the Witch's Banquet? Well, for the food!"

The divine power in the sky above the banquet exploded into fireworks, and according to Fili's instructions, white feathers made of divine power floated all over the sky.

People are always in love with beautiful things. Under Fili's careful arrangement, the opening ceremony of the night banquet attracted the attention of the witches. They enjoyed the fireworks show to their heart's content. Then Fili performed deceptive magic to cover Irene's sneaking into the piano in the center of the venue and began her performance.

The long nocturne spread in the forest. Marian was given the task and, under Fili's guidance, controlled the spread of the piano sound. The whole audience was bathed in the power of life and healing. The Witch Forest was full of vitality, and everyone felt very comfortable bathing in the power of God.

While everyone was enjoying the healing power of the music, Nishino Hana quickly directed her familiars to serve the food. With nearly a thousand people in the venue, the scale might be, a little, perhaps a little too large.

"Food and drinks cannot be interrupted, and cold dishes have to start being served..." This was not the first time that Nishinoka was an assistant at a banquet. In previous years, she would help out when Hecate held a banquet. She would also call on a few familiar witches, but this year's food delivery job was obviously stressful. "What? We need to add more tables temporarily? What are their numbers? Where are they?"

Later on, there were no longer enough specialized workers, so they temporarily called on nearby witches to enter the kitchen, and with the help of their familiars, they were able to barely maintain the stability of the banquet.

"Too many people! Is this the appeal of young people?" Hecate smiled and muttered in her heart. This year, she was indeed trying to attract attention for Fili, but her popularity was too high! Fili had only been here for a year. In comparison, the witches she organized in previous years were just kitten gatherings, okay?

"What? Are you feeling sad about your age?" Dorothy helped from the side. The witch, who was used to being alone, felt good to have such a lively time once a year. "Seeing so many lively juniors, I can't help but feel that the hardships I suffered in the past were not in vain. All the efforts and sacrifices are worth it."

In fact, there are many witches in this banquet just for the sake of novelty. Fili is at her peak when she appears. In her first year of attending the banquet, she tore Bahamut apart and became the great witch, which detonated the witch circle. In the second year, she was named to organize the witch banquet, which fully ignited the gossip hearts of the people of Miriam.

Not to mention the witches themselves are curious, just looking at the number of spies this year you can feel the enthusiasm of the outside world.

The night banquet began with Irene's first piano piece. As the sound of the piano spread, the witches gradually quieted down and looked at the changes in light. The holy light in the venue gradually dimmed, the moonlight was hazy, and the light that fell from the sky gradually gathered into a ray of light and fell in the center of the venue.

"It's Miss Fili~!"

"I'm coming!"

Fili used her fake invisibility ability to appear on the center stage, stretched out her hands toward the sky, opened her mouth slightly, and sang a hymn.

The green magic of nature ripples in the forest, and the sweet scent of mint is in the air. Sylph gathers and takes shape in mid-air, naturally holding Fili's hand, and the two of them sing at the same time.

“Like a bird flying in the sky, like a flower dancing in the wind.”

The theme of Fili's outfit today is a gorgeous party style. The white evening dress modified to fit a witch creates a pure and lovely witch image for Fili.

As the song played, the healing atmosphere at the scene gradually dissipated. The witches looked at the figures of Fili and Sylph, most of them were envious and moved. For a moment, they didn't know who to envy. They hoped to be held by Fili's hand, and also hoped to dance with the elves.

After all, not all witches can deal with elves frequently, and singing hymns is even more difficult. Those ancient languages ​​are difficult to practice pronunciation alone. Without special techniques, the sound will only become obscure and unpleasant. It is extremely rare to be able to sing loudly and so ethereal.

Bathed in the realm of elves, some witches could not help themselves and hugged their good companions and whispered sweet words in their ears. The situation was very good.

More witches swayed their bodies gently, bringing themselves into the dance steps of Fili and Sylph.

"Well, I can finally hold your hand openly. It feels like I'm declaring my sovereignty." Sylph said mischievously through telepathy.

Fili controlled Breeze's dance steps, spinning with Sylph's position and listening to Irene's melody. Her mind was not completely relaxed to enjoy the dance, but she was always calculating the time, ready to switch to the next dance partner at any time according to Irene's music.

"As long as you like it, thank you for the hymn. I will make good use of this power in the future."

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Sylph harassed Fili in her voice. She thought her hints were direct enough, but Fili deliberately avoided her, clearly showing that she didn't like her.

Despite this, the two's ostensible dance moves made them seem even more intimate.

This caused a water spirit waiting outside the venue to make the sound of a boiling kettle.

Chapter 155 The Banquet Ends

After Fili's fuss, the Witch Banquet should be renamed the Witch Gala. With this scale and popularity, the witches who came today would be left with nothing if there were no sufficient preparations.

Or rather, they really did get nothing.

Fili invited the elves to chant and dance together. The healing wind created by Sylph was the northwest wind. The magic of nature made the witches bathing in it feel particularly comfortable. It was like a full body massage. The witches would not refuse such a comfortable thing.

After Sylph it was the Water Priestess, with trickles of water gathering at the foot of the stage. Fili started a new hymn and holding the Water Priestess's hand, she couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed as soft and cool as water. Then she found that the Water Priestess wanted to lead the dance and asked Fili to follow her rhythm.

Fili quietly exerted force, protested silently, then refused, and the two wrestled silently, and finally pulled each other in an equal dance posture.

Fili and the water priestess held each other's hands, hugged each other's waists, smiled at each other, and talked non-stop.

"Let me lead the dance. We haven't seen each other for so long. I really want to get close to little Fili. I was the first one to notice you!"

"This is the witch's night banquet, foreign elves, wake up."

"Well~ It's nice to have a dance partner like you. I really want to dance with you forever."

"You only have yourself in your eyes..."

The waltz with the elves brought new magical changes, and the breath of life on the scene became more and more intense. Some witches who were injured or sick felt much more comfortable. Most witches absorbed these silently and they also gained a lot.

Next, Fili invited Fu Kai and Evelint to take the stage one after another. The fields emitted by the four elves provided many benefits to the witches who practiced the elemental path. It can be said that the witches present will have their strength improved after tonight's banquet.

That’s all the programs Fili prepared. The reason she prepared dance music was simply to show off her connections to the witches on the scene. What do you think? I have four elves protecting me. I deserve the title of the great witch, right?

The purpose of the night banquet is to have food and drink, and then have academic exchanges and transactions until the end.

This year was different from previous years, as there was a dance floor in the center. After the Elf Waltz ended, Irene was free to play different songs, during which the witches she liked would go up and dance.

The food this year was also well received. Different from the forest game in previous years, the main dish that Fili carefully prepared was the meal and drink. Compared with traditional food, the cold dishes tonight were full of magic and the hot dishes were full of energy. While filling their stomachs, the magic was increased every moment, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

Halfway through the night banquet, there is the finale: Hecate's mushroom soup is here. It is a must-try at the witch's night banquet every year.

The witches who knew the truth had complicated expressions. They knew it was a good thing, but the probabilistic killing mushroom soup produced by Hecate made people stay away from it more or less. The witches who knew the truth would wait after getting the mushroom soup, waiting for others to drink it first. When they saw other witches lying down in large numbers, they could determine the "probability" of tonight and then drink the soup with confidence.

This year's finale of mushroom soup made 300 people faint...

If this bowl of mushroom soup did not have real benefits, the witches at the scene would have scattered long ago. After seeing someone lying down, the other witches praised Hecate for her magnanimity, then drank the mushroom soup with peace of mind and took care of their fainted companion amid laughter.

The new witch was stunned by this wonderful welcome ceremony.

After the finale, it was Dorothy's turn to demonstrate the growth and changes of forest plants. She was also a famous witch. She took today's opportunity to announce her official move into the Witch Forest. She would be mainly responsible for the defense of the Witch Forest and promised to make the Witch Forest more prosperous. She also set up a construction company to help all witches build homes for a fee.

This was the result of Fili's discussion with them. The days when the old witches could build houses at random in the Witch Forest were over. It had to be said that not all witches were suitable for construction. Some witches, such as Charlotte, who had exquisite craftsmanship, were really good at building houses, but some witches had no talent, and what they built were indeed doghouses. After Dorothy came, she would unify the standards, plan residential areas, and somewhat restrain the witches.

It is foreseeable that in Miriam's future, the number of witches will only increase.

At tonight's banquet, from the divine realm to the natural realm, from food to drink, everything is related to magic. The new witches lamented that they had been wandering for half their lives without meeting their compatriots, but today they finally found their organization.

Fili sat at the Big Witch's table: "It's finally over. I'm so tired."

Hecate held the tea in both hands: "Tired? You asked for it. It's obviously enough to just have a meal, but you still have to put on so many fancy shows."

Fili smiled innocently: "It's just to let everyone know me."
