Filled with the aura of "death", the girl took the form of a girl and sat in front of her.
"Oops, it seems like the threat was too much. I've always been like this before. I can't control my mouth when I'm in a mood. The witch's temperament is really troublesome."
Seeing the moon and the stars, Echidna remained silent while sitting and reflecting on herself.
"If there was no malicious intent, I might not be able to help but take action..."
Yuexing calmly put away the knife in his hand
"Sorry, sorry, the factor resistance in your body is still too low. In order for you to talk to me without any pressure, that tea is indispensable~"
Echidna nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"Is the function of tea different from what it is now?"
There was no discomfort in her body, and the pressure on Echidna had completely disappeared.
"You have killed the holder of the Witch Factor in the past few days, right? As soon as the other person dies, the Witch Factor chooses you as the new possession vessel. It is thanks to this that you can enter the grave safely."
"The condition for being invited to this dream castle is that you must have the witch factor...is this what you mean?"
"No, only qualified people can enter the tomb. Speaking of it, you seem to have skipped a long step to get here - you don't even know the things you should know, such as my affairs and the tomb's affairs.
, and the matter of the Holy Land.”
"Sacred territory? Could it be that..."
"——That's right. Outside the ruins is the sanctuary. To be precise, the place used to protect this tomb is called the "sacred realm""
"If that's the case, then there's no point for me to stay here. It's time to leave... As long as you allow me, I can leave easily."
"...Although it is true, if you run away like this, I will be very lonely. I mean, do you want to ask me if you have nothing to do?"
"Sorry, I have to take care of the guys outside. If something unexpected happens, I have to visit again, and..."
After hearing what Echidna said with a dissatisfied frown, Yuesing scratched her head.
"You don't know what's going on outside, so you can't answer the recent questions..."
"...Huh? You're lying, right? It's impossible. After all, I'm a lust witch. Everyone in the world, knights, and powerful people, all want my knowledge and are looking for me. I allow it in front of you.
You ask questions freely, but this is the result?"
Hearing the unexpected answer, Echidna collapsed for the first time. The witch waved her hands in panic, using up her words to try to save the person in front of her.
"Calm down and have a good conversation. I am indeed not familiar with the current era, but in comparison, I can boast that no one can match my knowledge of the past era. After four hundred years, it has long been weathered and no longer exists in anyone's memory.
The true history of… you have a chance to know.”
"It's not good to know too much. It can easily lead to anger." Yuexing shook her head and said.
"Things in the past have already happened. I don't know what it has become now. If I hold on to old ideas or something, I will be the one who suffers. In other words, I am not very interested in the past.
…”
"why is it like this……!"
The conversation entered the stage of formal farewell, and Echidna burst into tears as she felt unsatisfied.
It evolved like this, and the "Desire Witch" lost all her face. Regardless of the suppression brought by her body, she was just an ordinary girl.
"For example, do you know the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult very well?"
"Priest of Sin? Huh, I'm sorry I haven't heard this word. Can you tell me in detail?"
"This is a reversed position..."
"——Ah, okay"
Since she doesn’t know about the Sin Archbishop, she probably doesn’t understand the power, its damage, and countermeasures.
——Of course, I don’t know how to save Rem.
"It's almost time to leave. I'll come visit you next time if I have a chance..."
"Facing a dead person, she is still a witch, and she made an agreement so easily..."
Echidna sighed, as if she had given up trying to stay, and waved her hand.
A cool breeze blew from behind. When I looked back, I saw a door appearing in the bottomless darkness of the collapsing void.
"Go through that door, and you will wake up outside. It's really my first time to hold such a tea party."
"I'm really sorry. If I had put it in the past, I might have had time to visit you, but now I still have a lot of things to deal with."
"——Then, since you are leaving the witch's tea party, you will have to pay the price in the end."
The sudden words came from the witch's mouth, Yuexing looked back
Echidna didn't mean any harm, just smiled kindly——
"I don't seem to have anything to give you. I don't have any money or anything..."
"The reward the witch wants is not money. What I ask of you is an oath. This tea party is not allowed to be disclosed to outsiders. This is my condition. It's very simple, right?"
"It's a small thing, is that all?"
"Yes, I'm lucky to get to know you as an interesting person. It's a great reward for me. By the way, I'll let you take a souvenir with you at the end."
Echidna stood up while stroking her white hair, stretching her thin white fingers towards Yuexing's chest.
I can't refuse and I can't wave away, I just let my fingers slide in an almost magical way
"I'll give you the qualifications to challenge this "sacred domain" trial."
"The...trial of the Holy Realm?"
"You don't understand it now, but when you get to know this place, you will find its value. By then, what kind of feelings you will have for me... I am really looking forward to it."
After retracting the finger that touched her chest, Echidna gently licked the finger with her tongue. Her charming move made her mouth go dry.
No matter how friendly you appear, even if you smile with a girlish face, the person in front of you is after all——
"As expected, she is a witch."
"——Yeah, yes, I am a very bad magic user, right?"
As Echidna spoke, she nudged Subaru's forehead with her finger.
As if he was falling on his back, Subaru stepped back and was swallowed by the opened door in the next second.
"————"
From the fading light, falling into darkness
It's like being popped out of a dream - consciousness is awake outside
…
"Ara, it's so boring——"
After sending Yuexing away, Echidna sat back on the white chair and muttered.
Then, I found the bracelet left on the tea coaster
On the small pendant, the activated spell is emitting a faint light.
"Is this a mutual gift..."
Echidna smiled and placed the bracelet flat on the table, changing the surrounding scene back to the grass and blue sky before.
Holding up a lavender parasol, leaning gently on the chair, looking towards the end of the world without edge
