"It doesn't matter. After all, I wrote the standards for Witch Laboratory."

"What? The posting letter that I always thought was the school's experimental standard was actually written by you?"

"That's right. Huh, except for the experiment where the witch bombs the laboratory every day, there are no other experiments that require the presence of a second person."

Leah spoke proudly, then raised her head and looked at Will.

She put her hands behind her back, and deliberately moved the hat that could hide her expression behind her head, so that when she raised her head, the brim of the hat just didn't cover her face. as well as……

Her red eyes could completely lock Will in them.

From her current eyes, Will could feel her uncontrollable "joy" and the "like" she had always hidden in her eyes.

"Student Will, aren't you curious? The results of the preliminary experiment."

She spoke.

"Of course you succeeded, otherwise you wouldn't have let me ask."

"Then you just ask."

Leah pursed her lips and spoke word by word.

"...How are the results of the preliminary experiment?"

"The shape of the wax block has changed somewhat. My output power has not been maximized. If I have the potion you provided, it will definitely be able to shape it - Will, the direction of the ancient magic you interpreted is correct. ”

Hearing this, Will breathed a sigh of relief.

He was actually the least confident in deciphering ancient magic. After all, it was something brought by the witch.

Since it is correct, at least it proves that he is not wrong.

"If this is the case, then the strategy for conquering the Snow Girl will be..."

"Don't think about that so quickly."

Without warning, Leah took Will's hand.

Without any explanation, Leah's soft little hands picked up Will and pulled him out of the woods, close to the town.

Unexpectedly, Will was a little unbalanced and could only be moved forward by the tough Leah in a method that almost became "dragged".

"Li...Teacher Lia, wait...where are you going?"

"Aren't you a little curious? Why do I have to complete this experiment... today?"

"I have no clue." Will thought for a moment, "I only know that the contract between the cage and you expires today."

"That's really your answer, Mu Mu."

Leah chuckled.

"I think... I'm not a wooden person in the broad sense."

"You seem to have always avoided going into the city, especially the Adventurers Association. You haven't been to the city for a long time, right?"

The two walked through the woods, leaving a rustling sound on the fallen leaves that fell in autumn, froze in winter, and rotted in spring.

Faced with this question, Will could only nod.

"There's no need to run there..."

"Then you must come with me. I have reserved the best place."

"……What?"

"This is a pre-experiment, a reward I gave myself. I brought you with me by the way - you are really embarrassed, just think like this, I have eaten and drank so much of you for free before, and I will give you a meal this time."

Leah made an offer that he couldn't refuse.

After all, "accepting a favor that is returned by someone else" is a rather coercive act.

On the main street of the town of Hollanda.

Will put on his hat and pulled up the collar, covering half of his face like a black mask.

He felt that this was very suspicious, but even if someone from the Adventurers Association saw him, they probably wouldn't think that he was "the youngest child of the System family who is publicizing his death to the outside world."

"There are many people on the streets today..."

Will followed Leah. She did not keep walking in front in order to forcefully pull him as before, but walked side by side with him, as if going shopping, gently hooking his finger with her little finger, and strolling On the street.

If his life were divided by the battle in the Corridor of Dust, the days that followed would be very long for him. Not only because he had to act alone for a long time, but also because in a short period of time, he thought about a lot of things and completed a lot of work that he had not been able to complete before.

In such a "long" time, he had not walked through a crowded crowd for a long, long time.

"Holanda Town. It is a small town located in the north of the Entak Empire. It is not a military fortress, nor is it a snow mountain scenic spot, but... there is a river that passes by the town, representing the origin of the city."

Leah explained to Will as she walked.

"The river always thaws completely around this day, and you can see schools of fish swimming by. So, in order to commemorate this day, they named it 'Thaw Day' - similar to the stories of all cities, this is a day that represents the arrival of spring. festival."

She turned her head, patiently.

"This is probably a human festival, right? A person can only live through seventy years of such festivals in his life - if he is far away from home, this number will be discounted by several decades."

There was something strange about hearing these words from her mouth. In Will's memory, Leah was not a person willing to understand human customs.

Witches are people who live so long that they feel unable to understand humans.

Because festivals like this one in this town may have only started two hundred years ago, or they may end in a few decades due to the decline of this place.

As an immortal witch, time and connection with humans are always like this.

The long events of human beings are just a fleeting moment to them.

"Ah, here we are."

She stopped in front of the Adventurers Guild. When Will saw the sign of the Adventurers Association, he subconsciously took a step back, but Leah held her hand.

"Don't be afraid. No one will pay attention to you today."

"It's not that I'm afraid of this, it's just that... I'm just a little bit... disgusted with this institution."

But, just as he said that, Leah had already pulled him in.

Chapter 367: Flash of Fireworks (3k)

The Adventurers Association was bustling with people. The middle-aged adventurers clinked glasses with big glasses, drank beer, and ate the iceberg snow pigeon on the table with a fork - a special animal in Hollanda Town.

Some tables even played shabby-sounding pianos and sang songs while shaking their heads.

Although many of them are not locals of the town, they seem to enjoy celebrating the festival with the town.

The entire Adventurers Association is filled with joy and prosperity.

"You don't want to come in because you hate the current Adventurers Association, right?"

"Kind of."

"Actually, I don't like it either."

"Because it's too commercial? For example, a ranking system is introduced, and more incentives are given to adventurers to create stars. While enjoying the resources brought by adventurers' mining, they are encouraged to invest the money they get into the Adventurers Association. in?"

Will seemed to rarely see people who hated the Adventurers Association as much as he did, and he spoke for a long time excitedly.

"I don't think as much as you do. After all, this is the current era. Maybe the person will be replaced in the next era."

"Yes, then why?"

"I won't tell you! What do you think?"

The little Leah had already led him through the drunken adventurers. When she stepped over the chair, those adventurers would shout "Minors don't come in now", and then she would use the red magic weapon to He stared until he was speechless.

They finally went upstairs.

The second floor of the Adventurers Association was previously rented out for meetings.

Under the current situation of full commercialization of the Adventurers Association, the second floor has also become a place that provides catering services, especially catering services in private rooms.

"Already made a reservation. Her last name is Witch."

Leah directly announced her name to the waiter.

"Demon... witch, okay... miss. Let's go this way."

When the waiter heard such a surname, the smile on his face froze.

"There's no one named witch."

Will couldn't help but complain.

"My last name is very long, and usually no one remembers it the first time. It would be too troublesome for the waiter to tell them all."

"Ferrum Elemont."

"...Okay, okay, I know you remember my name, teacher, very accurately."

Leah turned her head and looked at Will who pronounced Leah's last name accurately, then turned back and continued walking.

Her twin ponytails swayed slightly, and the ends dyed with a hint of gradient red were circled in front of him.

She stopped and pushed open the small wooden door.

The moment he pushed it open, outside the window, there was the ice sculpture-like gate of the "End of the Ice Abyss", and behind the entrance, there were towering snow-capped mountains that seemed to reflect some moonlight at night.

There are two chairs on this balcony with a great view. There was no doubt that Leah had reserved the best dining spot.

"Please, sit down."

It wasn't until she turned sideways to invite Will that he realized...

Along the way, Leah almost always walked in front of him, pulling him forward before arriving.

She doesn't escape like she used to, nor does she refuse to integrate into human life like she used to.

She is now a "witch" who can slowly walk through the human world and enjoy festivals with them.

"Teacher Leia, you really spent a lot of money. Hmm...this time, you don't want to use 'money' to buy a reward, right?"

"No." Leah waved her hand, "I...am I such a superficial person? It's just..."

Then she looked seriously at Will across the table.

The tone is also a little more serious than the "pretending to be cute" just now——

"Will. After you broke away from the System family, you are no longer the 'young master' you were before, right? Now you... can even be said to be 'poor', right?"

"..."

Will realized.

In fact, Leah has always been the "tsundere" on the surface, but very sensitive and delicate on the inside, and can quickly detect the feelings and things that are wrong with the people around her.

"You don't even have a bed in your house, and you seem to be reluctant to go into the city, so the food is always caught in the wild. How long has it been since you sat down at the table and had a human meal like this? "

When Leah was talking, the already reserved meal, the painfully hot grilled iceberg snow pigeon, had already been brought to the table by the waiter.

When he smelled the smell, he really missed the meat products grilled to perfection by professional chefs.

"It's not that big of a deal. I don't miss everything I enjoyed as a young master. Even if I throw it away, it will only add a little... financial trouble to what I want to do."

Will noticed that the waiter had refilled his glass of wine - something he hadn't had in a long time. It seemed like the not-so-cheap ones he often bought when he had dinner with Leah.

He picked up the cup and took a sip.

It is indeed a nostalgic taste. When I was still a "young master", this was a daily drink.

"And, what you...want to do is actually...revenge your father, right?"

Will's glass stopped.

"...How do you know?"

"I accidentally saw the notebook - the one you've been writing recently. You, don't write about the future as if it will definitely happen. It's super weird!"

Liya smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Strange...they poured orange juice into my wine, even though I told them I was an adult. Don't these people know witches?"

She put down the glass of orange liquid and continued.

"So, your death is actually..."
