[Witch's House Doujin] Exchange spells

will be discovered.But what did that matter to her?No one will find out that she did it.All she needs to do now is to go back the same way quietly, burn the blood-stained cloak, go home and lie down on the bed as if nothing happened...

...she saw a black cat.

"Meow." The black cat stood on the window sill, its golden eyes looked at Viola, whose face was covered with blood that hadn't cooled down, with playful eyes, as if to say: What did you do? I have seen it all.

II. Witch

Viola soon grew weary of having to stay in bed all the time.

Her legs were still numb, and the only thing she could do was lie on the bed and flip through the magic books.Those are called "primary curse magic" by the black cat.

But she didn't want to learn the curse at all, she just wanted the exchange spell.

"This is the foundation." The black cat said to her seriously once in a while, "I remember I said that this house is magical, and it will take out the books it thinks are suitable for you to read now. If you want to learn more advanced magic, you must Wait until you get its approval."

You will do this magic.Viola said silently.

Black Cat didn't deny it. "That's right, I got this magic from Black Crow with great difficulty. But it was too early for you, and you have no way to use it now. Don't worry, I will help you." Black The cat raised its tail, showing a - if the cat can be complacent - a proud expression, "You can ask me anything you don't understand about the knowledge in these books. I know almost everything."

So was that what you taught Eileen back then?

"Of course." The black cat narrowed its golden eyes, as if lost in memory. "I still remember that Ailian was just a little girl who didn't know anything at that time, because she helped me, so I helped her, it was very simple." It suddenly laughed again: "At that time, she didn't even have words She can write, and I taught her slowly. She is really smart, and I can see that she really likes magic."

Do you really like magic?Viola fell silent.She was afraid that if the black cat knew that she hated those demons from the bottom of her heart and only agreed to become a witch in exchange for her body, those guys would eat her without hesitation.and--

Viola glanced at the black cat lying on the window sill, it was playing with butterflies just like a real cat.The black cat had been so kind to her that she almost forgot the fact that it was a demon.A gentle demon?Viola shuddered involuntarily, not daring to think about it anymore.

The black cat soon got tired of the butterfly, lay down and started licking his paw.It also seemed to have noticed Viola's absent-mindedness. "What, are you bored?"

Viola nodded.

The black cat thought for a while and said, "In that case, do you want to restore your voice?"

What, can you do it?

"I can't, but someone can." The black cat said, "Although the sound is superfluous to the witch, the witch can use magic without chanting spells. But for humans..."

It stood up and stretched itself. "Well, you stay here for now, and I will help you find a way."

The black cat didn't break its promise, and it came back after only two days.In addition to changing the body of another black cat, it also brought a black crow.

"Don't look at me like that, little witch." The crow stopped on the windowsill, with a cute little medicine bottle tied to its foot.It said to the black cat as if complaining, "Why is the witch you're looking for this time stupid? It's not as good as the one last time. At least the one last time was quite clever." The voice of the crow was a cold boy, as if it was the same as The other voice in the room that Viola heard before the bandage was removed last time was the same.

The black cat jumped on Viola's lap and bared its teeth at the crow. "That's the black crow." The black cat explained to Viola, "I don't know healing magic, but the black crow is very good at this type of magic. He gave me all the medicines that cured you before."

"That's not a free gift," Black Crow said.

"...As for the other nonsense of the black crow, just forget it after you hear it."

Viola laughed, silently.

She drank the medicine that Black Crow brought, and after feeling the medicine burning in her throat again, she found her voice came back.Although it is Ailian's voice.

"Thank you," she said, both to the crow and to the black cat.

The black crow patted its wings impatiently, accepting her thanks. "Then goodbye, little witch. We should not see each other very often in the future."

"Wait." Before she even realized it, she had already yelled to stop the black crow that was about to fly into the sky.Black Crow turned around, she swallowed, and said with some uncertainty: "You...can you cure my leg? I really don't want to stay in bed all the time."

Because only by going out from here can she find Ailian, right?And her father, she realized how much she missed him.Those rough, prey-smelling hands, and the stubble all over his face, but that was her father.

The black crow seemed to see through what she was thinking, but it just said: "Didn't the black cat tell you? The reason why you have no feeling in your leg now... is not because there is no cure, but because I used the paralyzed nerve The painkiller. The black cat is worried that you will not be able to bear the original pain of this body, so please ask me."

The black cat froze for a moment, and faced Viola's questioning gaze, it nodded and said helplessly, "I'm sorry if this has caused you trouble, Viola."

Viola shook her head. "That's fine, I think if it's for being able to walk I can bear it. So please give me the medicine, I don't want to be in bed again."

"Do you have to do this?" Black Cat asked puzzled.

Viola hesitated for a while, that kind of pain she felt the moment she exchanged bodies with Ailian, it was indeed an unimaginable pain.but……

That's not unbearable, is it?

"I think so."

Black Crow just stared at her for a while, then looked away, and said coldly: "Human beings are really troublesome, so do whatever you want."

The black crow flew away, and soon turned into a small black spot in the sky and disappeared.

"Are you really going to do this?" asked the black cat.

Viola nodded, and then asked as if she had thought of something important: "Is that a demon too?"

The black cat nodded.

"So, there will be another witch too?"

"Of course, I never said that you are the only witch in this world. Why, is this important?"

Viola made no answer.Another witch... Then, why did they make a contract with the devil?Ai Lian wanted to cure her own illness, so what about other people, do they have this desire to make a deal with the devil to achieve it?

Viola tried desperately to justify herself.But I'm not, I'm just an innocent person who has been involved by magic, and I just want everything back to me.

Really?The voice asked persistently, like a cold mockery.

……of course it's true.

The author has something to say: When I first read the novel, I thought the part where the black cat taught Ailian to write was so cute >_

The black cat must be a lovely boy!

mercy

I. girl

Viola's brain fell into a blank. Even when she killed the man just now, she was never afraid like this, as if she was afraid that the world would collapse before her eyes in an instant. The beautiful world she had worked so hard to build...

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was hoarse, and it was difficult to distinguish: "...is that you?"

The black cat, the golden eyes, and the indifference of looking on.They were demons, demons who made a contract with the witch, only they would look at humans with doll-like eyes that seemed pity but had no emotion.But she is no longer a witch, why does it still haunt her?Her heart was raised, she could only stare at the black cat's face tightly, and even held her breath unconsciously.

The black cat stared at her with those menacing eyes, as if it was about to answer in a playful voice of a teenager. "Meet you again, Witch Eileen."

If that's the case, she thinks she won't be able to bear it...

"Meow." But the black cat blurted out a soft meow, and then it turned around and jumped off the window sill.

"Wait!" Viola rushed forward immediately but was still a step too late.The cat's black soft tail slid across her palm and loosened easily. She leaned down to look down, only to see the cat landed on the lawn as easily as a black lightning bolt, standing below her and looking at her , its golden eyes are like two lights in the dark.

Viola glanced hesitantly at the window sill under her feet, and finally decided to carefully climb down the drainpipe.The thorns stung her hands and tore her skirts.And the black cat had been squatting there watching her, and didn't move a bit until she came in front of it.

Viola was beginning to feel puzzled, and now she felt a little uncertain again.She knelt down and stretched out her hand to the black cat, and the black cat allowed her to stroke her body, not only did not resist, but also showed an expression of enjoyment.

Like a real cat.

But it could also be a demon in disguise.Viola glanced coldly at the black cat rubbing against her hand. It might also be the devil intentionally pretending to be a kind and beautiful thing.
