"- Oh... me, were you asleep?

"Mr. Hal......!

"Hal!"

The first sight Hal saw when he woke up was in a room he didn't know.

And as I turned my gaze to the call, I saw Emily hugging his body full of joy with Lunaria holding Hal's right hand smiling in tears.

"Oh, are you both safe? Good."

Hal reassures himself that the two are safe at first rather than about his own body.

"Huh... already! That's our line! Mr. Hal, you've been asleep for four days!

"Really!!

"Ha, I'm sorry"

In an angry tone, Hal was smiling unexpectedly at the two people who still worry about him.

"Oh, my God, you're finally awake."

It was the witch Silpheus who came to the room. He watched around the entrance to the room with a flutter and a cheeky grin.

Her magic depletion was quickly recovered and she was able to move the next day.

"Oh, thank you for this. Thanks to the last healing magic, we were able to defeat the Kolong... right?

Hal confirms to Silfeus just in case he wakes up with his body, anxious as he utters a word of gratitude because the memory of the last one was obscured.

"Oh, you made a brilliant stop. If I could move with that, I'd be a zombie."

Silpheus, approaching with shrugging shoulders, joked and said it that way.

"I wish I could have defeated you. I'm relieved you're not a zombie. So, what happened?

What was going on during the few days that Hal was asleep, and what happened to the Emily and Missnelia witches - that was my biggest concern.

"Um, that's it, hey. See, the last ancient dragon revealed. It was easiest to understand that whoever knocked him down would be a witch, because you were the one who knocked him down. You can't turn a man of your people into a witch, can you?

Silpheus has his hands wide open that it is a troubled thing.

"Uh, well, that one."

"Pfft, I'm kidding. I'm not blaming you. Well, that's the thing, so the meeting about what to do was a lot longer. As a result…"

At first Silpheus was laughing. When he stopped the words there, he would have a serious look.

Hal swallowed his spit.

"Both were found to be strong enough. Emily and Misneria both have enough talent, personality, and strength to be trained as witches."

"I mean, what do you mean? You're alone in the first place, aren't you, witch? Like letting the two of you get trained and hire people with good results?

To Hull's question, Silfeus shook his head sideways.

"Ha, well, wouldn't you feel sorry for me if I didn't? Unless you fall off, you're both witches. Sounds like there's no precedent, but if there's no precedent, you can make it... right?

Hitting and changing with a smiling silpheus like a prank succeeded, Hal has a slightly contemplative look.

"Well, after something terrible happens, I'd like to hear your opinions, too, because it's a sudden decision. So the three of us should discuss a lot. This is the treatment room, but we have a room for the three of us to spend some time with, so maybe we should talk about it over there."

Silpheus seems to have taken care of it because there are other people being treated here, and some staff, so even if they try to tell important stories, they get out of the way.

"Ok...... yeah, my body looks fine. You know what I mean about the room?

"Yes, because me and Emily are there. There's Mr. Hal's bed too, so let's go!

"Go, what is it!

Hal is led to his room by Lunaria and Emili.

Apparently, the room was for guests, and there was a beautiful room with pretty luxurious dishes.

"Nice room."

"Yeah, because I'm a witch candidate, and Hal and Lunaria made a huge contribution to the exorcism of the ancient dragons," he said.

Emili replies with a very hard expression to Hal looking around.

"... So, what's Emily going to do?

Feeling how troubled she is, Hal sits on a fuzzy couch and cuts out questions to Emily as a story about the future.

"Yeah......"

In contrast, Emily sits on the couch and nods, knocking her mouth cuddly and silent.

She was lost.

At first it was a fate that had been mopped up from the village, worried about not being able to use the magic well, and managed to escape that fate.

That hasn't changed since I met Hal, Lunaria.

Instead, there was a growing desire to be with the Hulls on their journey.

Emily took part in this trial hoping that something would sort out her feelings in that situation.

But the other witch candidates were seriously confronted with the position of witch.

And there's also a big encounter with Silfeus, the actual witch.

Encountering a witch enough to make her admit to breaking a precedent among the clergy of a solidified elf was also trying to change her mind.

"I'm worried..."

This was the word I managed to put out after all of them were aggregated and kept groping around in my head.

"I see, confirmation, but it's not because of the people in the village who are worried, is it?

"Yeah!"

Emily, who raised her face to this question, answers immediately.

There was already no more about the village on the grounds of her judgment.

Hal knew perfectly well that he was troubled for himself if he saw the look on Emily's face in front of him.

"Well, let me hear it. What is Emily worried about and why? We're on Emily's side. If you're worried, I'd like to help you get closer to the best answer."

"Right!

Lunaria, smiling like the Virgin Mary, had also given her full consent to the kind and powerful words of Hull.

"... yeah, yeah! That's what I thought you two would say...! - You know..."

With Hal and Lunaria, who will accept it as words as they wish, I'm relieved Emili will talk about what she thinks is potpourri.
