[Witch's House Doujin] Exchange spells

Guang stared at Viola, "Everyone has a desire that they didn't realize. Everyone may become a witch. We demons just gave you this opportunity. This is mutual help. The witch helped us find it." Food, and of course we'll give you the magic to grant your wishes in return."

"So is Ailian like this, willing to trade so many people's lives for her own wish? She obviously has... other better choices... I don't understand why Ailian is like this..."

"Want to know?" the black cat said lightly.

For a moment, Viola thought that she had heard wrong, she raised her head inexplicably, her eyes were full of confusion: "What?"

The black cat jumped off the bed lightly, with its black tail raised above its head: "I'm talking about Eileen's past, if you want to see it, you can do it with a simple spell."

Viola hesitated.Indeed, when she knew Ailian, Ailian said that she was abandoned by her parents because of an incurable disease, and could only live alone in this small bungalow.The townspeople said her disease was contagious, so any evidence of her existence was carefully erased.They warned their children that there was a witch in the forest and kept them away from that cursed forest.There is no fun without playmates, such is Eileen's life.The doctor told her coldly that she only had half a year to live, but she could only lie on the bed and stare at the sunrise and sunset outside the window all day long.

"Why, don't you want to know? The past that was covered up by Ailian, the things she tried her best not to let you know."

"But……"

"She gave this body to you, didn't she? All the memories related to this body are kept in your mind, but you never touch them, it's just because you are afraid. She gave it away It's all yours."

The black cat seemed to feel Viola's wavering, and said, "However, it doesn't matter if you don't want to know, after all, even Eileen doesn't want to recall it. The decision is yours, Viola."

Wouldn't everything be different if I could get to know Eileen better?Viola never understood what it was that made Eileen so indifferent to any life that passed before her eyes.Curiosity finally defeated the shame and hesitation of peeking at other people's privacy, Viola said: "...well, I want to know. Please, Mr. Black Cat."

The black cat raised a weird smile, and Viola quickly forgot about the fleeting sense of disharmony.

The author has something to say: This is the rhythm of BE...

I'm going to start abusing Ailian, Ailian's exposure and Ailian's tragic past, two consecutive shots, Ailian, are you really a man? _(:з」∠)_

Puzzle

I. girl

"Where did you go yesterday?"

The chirping of insects and birds outside the window seemed to stop all of a sudden, and the only thing resounding in the world seemed to be her own increasingly rapid heartbeat. Ailian stood there staring at the man with a livid face, unable to move.Cold, the kind of cold that froze her breath condensed her lips, making her barely able to utter a word.

Was it exposed, about killing that magician?No, it's impossible!She was absolutely sure that no one or animal would have seen what she did except the black cat.The cloak has been burned clean, and the blood on the knife has been washed away, obviously there is no evidence left.

Thinking of this, Viola seemed to calm down a bit.She pretended to be calm and composed, and pretended not to notice anything: "Dad, why do you ask like that..."

"Answer my question, Viola!" The man suddenly raised his voice.Viola was taken aback. Papa had never spoken to her in such a tone as far as she could remember.He is really angry.

"I, I went to visit my mother's grave yesterday." Viola said hurriedly, as if she felt the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly defended herself. "Then I went to the town and I came back in the evening."

The man pressed on step by step: "Then what about the night before yesterday?"

"The day before yesterday? I just didn't feel well so I came back early and slept until dawn."

"Really?" The man didn't seem to be fooled, his eyes were cold and sharp, like a cheetah poised to stare at its prey, which made Viola shudder.

"I, I mean it! Dad, don't you believe me?"

The man rubbed his already disheveled hair irritably, and started pacing back and forth in the living room again. "Well, let's change the subject. Viola, where's your friend named Eileen?"

"Ailian?" Viola didn't react for a moment, she didn't understand how the topic changed here.She vaguely seemed to have grasped something, but it didn't seem like she had.

The man's tone softened a little: "Yeah, I already know. I told you to stay away from that forest several times before, but you sneaked out to see her, right? But this month you seem to be Never been there again."

Gazing into the man's eyes, Viola said softly: "...she is dead." Although, it was a bit strange to state her own death by herself.

"Her home is not on the edge of the forest you told me, but in the forest I mentioned, right? The place where the witch is said to live. I have long felt very strange, why I have never heard of it I told you about this girl named Ailian."

"what……?"

The man ignored Viola's hesitant answer, and continued to ask: "You went to visit that girl's grave yesterday, didn't you?" Although it was a question sentence, he used an affirmative statement tone.Viola didn't nod or shake her head. The man took it as a default that she wanted to ask a question, and explained: "When I was searching yesterday, I found your straw hat on a tree. I won't admit it, it was my A birthday present to you last year. Then near that tree, I saw an unnamed tombstone with lilies on it. That's your friend's grave, right?"

Viola nodded almost numbly.

"You know that place, right? Then tell me, do you know where Andrea went? What did you do to her?"

"I...how would I know? I've never seen her..."

"Because Andrea's footprints disappeared near that tombstone. Besides, I found two other pairs of footprints, which, although hidden by bushes, seemed to a hunter to be in the forest. It’s as easy as searching for prey.” The man said coldly, “The two pairs of footprints disappeared soon, but I found this one hanging on a thorn where the footprints passed by…”

Viola raised her head abruptly, the man held a piece of red rag, which was so red that it burned her eyes like a flame.Like falling into the deep sea, the chill spread from the soles of her feet to her hands and feet, and she felt almost suffocating fear.It was very familiar to her, and it was a fragment of her favorite red dress.

But that's impossible!The real Viola should have died a long time ago!He died under the gun on that rainy night...

"...Anna said it wasn't her daughter's thing, but it reminded me that the place where I met that monster a month ago seemed to be there too..."

Could it be that Viola accidentally hung on it on that rainy night when she was chasing her?Maybe she was just worrying too much?

"...What is there? In that cursed forest, is that where the witch lives?"

"I……"

"I want to hear your truth, Viola."

"...Yes." Viola took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, Dad, you guessed right. Ailian is that witch, that day... I just found out that I was lied to by her. She has been lying to me, and she even tried to kill me, and I almost died there She ran after me desperately, if it wasn't for Dad, you just rushed over, I would have been killed by her. But I still feel..." Viola lowered her head and lowered her voice, "It doesn't matter After all, she's my friend too. It would be a pity if no one ever knew about her."

Viola pretended to be sad, and watched her father's reaction from the corner of her eyes while saying that.The man also seemed to be taken aback by a lot of shock: "What, that monster is a witch? That friend you've known for so long is actually an evil witch? So Andrea broke into there ? But if the witch is already dead, why hasn't she come back...?"

"Even if there is no witch, that hut can kill people." Viola said softly, while the man was still talking to himself.

The man raised his head, the ice in his eyes still showed no signs of melting.He said in a blunt tone: "Okay, I will tell Anna and the search team about this. We have to find Andrea before anything happens to her." And when he saw Viola standing up, his eyebrows raised Suddenly stood up, and said sharply: "Viola, you are not allowed to go anywhere until I come back! You have no idea how much trouble you have caused! Now the priority is to save Andrea, but I have one more thing I have something important to ask you, you stay here for me and you are not allowed to leave this house!"

"what?"

"Remember! Don't leave here for half a step!" The man repeated impatiently, without saying another word, he picked up the shotgun on the wall and turned to leave.He closed the door so hard that the glass rattled.
