After thinking, as Mirania stood up gracefully, Chera blinked and asked, “What are you going to do?”

 

“Alice is the person I must find. If there’s a problem, it’ll leave me no choice but to act on my own.”

 

With a flick of her fingers, the broom hanging on the wall quickly flew to her hand.

 

As she approached the window and climbed onto the broomstick, Mirania told Chera,

 

“I’ll go to Malandor then straight to the second continent when I get back, so you should prepare in advance.”

 

“What? All of a sudden?”

 

Chera approached the window and shouted at Mirania, who had already floated into the sky.

 

“Mirania!”

 

“We don’t have much time,” said Mirania, who swung her broom in the air.

 

Mirania’s expression as she flew through the wind was indifferent, but her inner thoughts were complicatedly intertwined.

 

‘Raising Leverianz and Grecan has been somewhat successful. Besides, they still haven’t met Alice. Even this much is a big harvest… After all, Alice is variable.’

 

The fate of this world, that ending scene, was clear.

 

When Grecan and Leverianz meet Alice and fall in love with her…

 

The two would be heartbroken to see their lover suffering from an incurable disease

and would eventually aim for the heart of the Great Witch, my heart the cure for their beloved woman…

 

‘It’s always like a third-rate popular drama.’

 

The problem here was the fact that if I die like that once again, I would surely return.

 

Wasn’t it the only way to prevent problems from happening in the first place?

 

‘I must meet Alice in order to cure her disease.’

 

Alice, her indirect foe in a way, but Mirania was determined to treat her.

 

Mirania calculated that if Alice’s witch disease, the cause of the problem, was cured, Grecan and Leverianz would not have a reason to attack her anymore.

 

She also had the idea of curing the disease. Right before Mirania enters eternal sleep, that’s when it’s the right time.

 

Mirania pondered on a method that could bring her to eternal sleep and cure Alice.

 

Suddenly, Mirania gazed down at the quiet forest.

 

‘Where are Grecan and Leverianz?’

 

Mirania clicked her tongue in disgust.

 

‘I have a headache every time I see them, and anxiety when I don’t see them.’

 

Mirania shook her head as she seemed to be the first great witch to die out of stress.

 

‘I have to cure Alice’s illness and throw both of them into her arms, or I won’t die gracefully at this rate.’

 

As she crossed the forest, Mirania remembered a conversation she had with Grecan after reading him a fairy tale

 

That day, Grecan asked with a weird tone, unlike any other time.

 

[Fairy… Does it really exist?]

 

[Why are you asking that?]

 

[It appears in a nightmare.]

 

[What does that mean?]

 

[A fairy appears in my dream.]

 

Mirania almost fell back the moment she heard what Grecan said.

 

Grecan tilted his head and wedged himself in Mirania’s shock.

 

[Hurry up and come see me. Why do I feel strange?]

 

As far as Mirania knew, Alice had no ability to interfere with dreams.

 

All the love of nature and the world, all for Alice.

 

A lovely and precious fairy who only has the ability to heal life as if in return for her love.

 

Thus, Grecan’s dream couldn’t be influenced by Alice, but Mirania’s expression didn’t look good

 

“This tells us that it is almost impossible to defy fate as an individual, is it?”

 

It was clear that the world played a trick to somehow get back to its original fate.

 

Mirania wasn’t very happy, but she had to keep her sanity from now on, in order not to lose her heart unjustly to Grecan and Leverianz, whom she raised with her own hands.

 

Mirania vowed to act in earnest to resist the coercion of this world.

 

Meanwhile, in the room where Mirania left, Chera was packing Mirania’s belongings in a suitcase.

 

The slight difference was that, unlike the usual travel luggage for clothes, Chera was packing a bundle of herbs.

 

Feeling the wind rushing through the window, Chera looked up, she blinked in surprise as Mirania stood there.

 

“Why are you here already?”

 

Mirania, who had been to Malandor’s mansion in an instant, squinted as she looked down at the cheap luggage.

 

“He wasn’t there.”

 

“He’s not at his mansion?”

 

“Yeah. Well, it happens all the time. Didn’t he always wander to find a woman he wanted to enslave?”

 

“Well, your evaluation of dark land people is low.”

 

“Phew”, Mirania asked Chera, while watching the amount she was doing.

 

“Chera, why are you bringing a deodorizer?”

 

“What? Of course, it is a necessity, right?”

 

Chera’s eyes widened at Mirania’s question, but Mirania was filled with doubts.

 

“Why is that a necessity?”

 

“That’s because of Grecan and Leverianz, of course.”

 

“What are you talking about? I will go alone on this expedition,” said Mirania.

 

“What?”

 

Mirania snatches the bag from Chera, much to her dismay.

 

Glancing inside, I put in the things I didn’t need and slung the bag on my back.

 

“How long does it take to take care of the troublesome duo? I’ll be back by myself, so just watch over the castle carefully.”

 

“Hey, Mirania. It can’t be. Sending the head of the witch clan alone without an attendant?”

 

Despite Chera’s stubborn refusal, Mirania had no intention of changing her mind.

 

Actually, there’s a lot to worry about. Understandably, she would be concerned.

 

There was no way that I wasn’t anxious about leaving two troublemakers behind.

 

‘I’m only going to look at the condition of the two continents so that everything will be okay.’

 

Furthermore, I didn’t feel like accompanying the two, considering how much trouble it would be if I went out when the accident broke out even if I stayed in the Witch Castle.

 

“I don’t have time for this.”

 

“If you leave, who would look after Mirania? I have to follow you no matter what,” said Chera.

 

“Who would see the witch castle without you? Do you want to keep the vigilance of the witch castle strictly? When strangers appear, especially fairies, contact me immediately. Don’t forget to put familiars on Grecan and Leverianz.” Mirania added.

 

“What? Why?”

 

“It’s because we wouldn’t know what kind of accident they might have.”

 

Chera nodded her head in agreement, but she still looked worried.

 

“But, Mirania, that’s not the problem…”

 

Mirania had already slipped out of the window, leaving only the rough tail of a broomstick to be seen.

 

Chera continued with a despondent look, “I was going to say that Grecan and Leverianz couldn’t stay still…”

 

As she approached the window, Mirania already flew so fast that she was about the size of the palm of Chera’s hand.

 

Chera looked through the window without realizing it.

 

Mirania raised Grecan and Leverianz for over 15 years.

 

Mirania’s indifferent personality made her seem unnoticed, but she was clearly visible to Chera.

 

A beast’s natural homing instinct.

 

Beasts have a very strong instinct to return to their territory. It was a common instinct for Grecan and Leverianz.

 

The problem was, for Grecan and Leverianz, their territory was…

 

Seeing a single black dot approaching, Chera nodded.

 

“As expected.”

 

The black dots got closer and nearer, and soon they became huge wings that seemed to cover the sky.

 

The black wings passed through the Witch Castle where Chera was and disappeared like a shot in the direction where Mirania’s disappeared.

 

It was a speed that would not have been possible to notice if Chera had not been monitoring Mirania.

 

“There’s no way that Leverianz would stay still.”

 

‘So where was Grecan who had no wings?’

 

There was no way Leverianz would take Grecan with him, and Leverianz, who had just passed by, was also alone.

 

At that moment.

 

Swoosh, thud, swish, thud —

 

Chera lowered her gaze at the sound that tickled her ears. The trees were trembling and swaying.

 

‘… There he was.’

 

How violently would the leaves shake as if they had been beaten by a blow? The birds, sitting on the branches and plucking their feathers leisurely, flew up.

 

All expectations were met. Chera let out a groan of approval.

 

‘At first, I avoided him because of the smell, but now I’m used to the two of them. Of course, I knew they would go after Mirania.’

 

Mirania would probably freak out.

 

“It should be better than going alone.”

 

No matter how powerful the Great Witch was, Mirania’s destination was the human continent, where all sorts of strife and conspiracies are swirling. So wouldn’t it be better to have Grecan and Leverianz follow her?

 

‘Even if the duo was a bomb, most people won’t be able to attack them.’

 

I thought so, but why am I getting so anxious?

 

Chera slightly opened her hand, and a yellow canary flapped its wings on the palm of her hand.

 

Chera whispered softly, “Please look after Mirania.”

 

As if in response, the canary, which circled Chera, began to fly after Mirania for the last time.
