"Hundreds of years have passed now." Tidais picked up the tea cup in front of her and looked at the heat slowly rising in the cup, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.
"There has never been a good peace and conclusion to the matter at that time. Agatha lived in seclusion alone, licking her wounds, and finally ended up in this situation. If only she could be found earlier... It's a pity that the matter has ended, and I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Nothing sentimental, I just want to settle what happened back then and not continue the sadness and hatred of the past."
"Although we witches are considered powerful by outsiders, we are actually very lonely. We only know a few people who can be companions."
She raised her head and looked at Si Ye opposite.
"Although Dorothy's approach at the time was a bit radical, it was not irreversible. Moreover, she was considering everyone's future."
"Si Ye should also be aware of the current situation in Green Green. With the increase in population, the decrease in resources, the huge gap between the rich and the poor, fighting, dissatisfaction, and resentment are slowly overflowing, making it difficult to reconcile."
"Even if there are high-level transcendent beings from above to suppress it, this atmosphere and environment cannot be cured. It will one day break out in a year or two."
"So, I still believe that developing technology and heading towards the stars is the ultimate choice for everyone."
"I believe that many people in the Society of Sages also hold this view."
"But hundreds of years ago, during the suppression, many fields related to the Twilight Era became taboo. This has undoubtedly become a shackles. People trapped in the cage will suffer from madness after a long time."
Titus slowly took a sip of warm tea, placed the cup on the table, and continued.
"I don't want to see cannibalism anymore."
"Si Ye, you know. Before the battle in Oz, the witches had always been like a family. The elders would take care of and protect the younger ones. But that battle broke the tradition and warmth, the spread and influence.
The scope is extremely wide, and even if new witches are born later, they are afraid to join us to avoid being persecuted."
When he heard this sentence, Lorraine Hill blinked a little embarrassedly.
"The new generation is gradually moving away from us and living in isolation. After the first few decades of the new generation, it is basically difficult for a witch with mature and stable concepts to open her heart and become friends with everyone."
"The split has become a foreseeable thing. A long life brings long loneliness. Without companions to support and advise each other, it is difficult to imagine what kind of abyss a witch who has lived for a long time will slide into.
Unknown and extreme paths.”
"And once something like this happens, the world's image of witches will deteriorate, and they will in turn hate them, intensifying more witches to turn against the crowd, and ultimately cause tragedies one after another."
"Even you don't want to see this kind of phenomenon, Si Ye."
Tidais gradually stopped when she said this, looking at the empty teacups with her quiet silver eyes.
...
The hall was quiet for a long time, and then a childlike voice sounded.
"I see."
Si Ye stood up so that he could look at level with Tidais who was sitting there.
"I will propose at the Council of Sages to lift the ban that has been imposed for many years and urge changes in historical records to make the evaluation of Oz more objective and neutral."
"However, I must also request that all research on Twilight Age technology must be strictly controlled and protected, and treated with caution before proceeding."
"That kind of advanced thing is like a sickle wielded by a child in today's world. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself."
"I don't deny this, and I agree to control it." Tidais looked at Si Ye in front of her and nodded in agreement.
"After handling these matters, I will resign from the position of college president and let other sages take turns to take over, just like other colleges."
Regarding such a resignation statement, Chris and Servais opened their mouths to speak, but stopped talking. They felt sorry for Si Ye's efforts over the years, but they were happy that he could be relieved.
"I'm not very good at communicating with people. If other new witches are afraid, I don't know how to solve it." Her voice was a little low at this time.
"If you're dealing with this kind of thing, just leave it to others. Although you are a witch, you don't have to be good at everything. Relying on and helping each other is what friends and family are." At this time, Tidais's brows also relaxed.
Come.
"When the time comes, if there are other new students, I will have to trouble you to teach them the knowledge they need." Tidais's words also became slightly lighter.
Si Ye watched Tidais open her mouth slightly, and it took a long time before she uttered two words: "...Thank you...Thank you."
Then she lowered her head nervously, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"As expected, this is the lovely Si Ye." Tidais lifted the book witch who looked about 12 years old and held her in her arms.
"I haven't done this in years." She said to this former friend in her ear.
"Ah, don't snatch Si Ye from me." Chris saw Tidais holding Si Ye in her arms, stood up and crossed the coffee table, opened Tidais's arm, and prepared to snatch her good friend back.
"Giggle..." The venue gradually filled with laughter.
----------
Two days later.
"Then, see you next time, little Lorraine, and Keti." Tidais held up a light blue lace parasol, stood on the lawn, and said to the two of them.
"Goodbye." Keti raised her hands.
"Goodbye, Sister Tidaisi." Lorraine Hill also nodded slightly.
Then the phantom witch once again boarded the fairy tale-like carriage, pulled by two black unicorns, and drove towards the blue sky where white clouds hung.
On the high tower in the north, Chris lay on the window sill, watching the carriage taking off on the lawn in the distance.
"Si Ye, Tidais is gone." She watched the small black dot slowly disappear into the sky.
"I got it, Chris, stop being lazy and come clean quickly."
Si Ye said angrily. Today, she was wearing a simple black and white maid outfit and was cleaning the real stargazing room that had been vacant for a long time. She was cleaning it in advance before the arrival of the next dean.
"But, I'm Chrissie, how can I do such rough work?"
Chrissy was wearing a light pink princess dress, standing on a brown low table, and said with her hands on her hips.
"Fool!"
Si Ye picked up the broom and swept it directly towards Chris' calf. The latter lightly jumped up on the low table and let out a proud and cheerful laugh.
"Haha, you can't hit me."
Just when Chris was dodging Si Ye's pursuit, a thick book fell in the air and hit the witch's head by chance, causing her to let out a scream and squat down, covering her head.
.
"I caught you, get up and work." Si Ye pulled up the squatting Chris and put a broom into her hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Wow, Si Ye is a bad learner of cheating."
