The Former Witch Reincarnated as A Village Girl

After splitting up with the Sherris and the others, Shatia was unraveling hallucinogenic magic and searching the woods again. I don't know if we can meet with our fellow witches at this rate, but Shatia was acting thinking that if we could feel each other's magic, they would come from the other.

But the look on Shatia's face is somewhat difficult. When she saw just the right stump, she sat there with her elbow on her hand.

"Perhaps the demons' aim is to capture the witches... they crave a vast source of magic. Humans are, as an example, witch hunting… Huh, that's a difficult situation inside."

Shatia muttered so to herself as she put her jaw over her palm.

The demons had special tools under their capes then. That's a magic tool for capture. Shatia was firmly discerning it. Hence their purpose was to recover the witch's magic power.

First of all, it's moving around here, so I'm sure there's a witch. Most of all, there can be a line between being a witch and someone else imitating a witch. Shathia was probably the same witch from the magic she felt.

So why aren't you coming over here to see me? That was Shatia's question.

If you're the same witch, you'll be aware of this magic. Though far away, there must still be a few things to feel. Yet there is no sign that they will ever come closer to us. As if to hide, the signs are interrupted. What the hell is going on? and Shatia bit her nails as irritated.

"No way... there's no such thing as falling, is there?

Shatia uttered the most horrible speculation she feared.

As I had previously thought during my discussions with Moffy, it is possible that all the witches resent humans. He was killed by despicable means and in a manner similar to execution. Naturally I resent him... but Shatia didn't want him to do anything like revenge if he could.

If a witch does something to attack a human being, this time the witch will be recognized as harmful to the human being. There is no way that some understanders like Emerald will ever be able to do this in the future, but even a handful of races, witches, will be driven into distress. I didn't want Shathia to be the only one to do that. But what if... what if the witch in the sighting has a grudge against a human?

"... in which case we need to find our people before knights and demons"

I don't know if I'll make it, but I have to meet my fellow witches before I can be found by knights for crusade or demons for capture. If we talk, if we persuade or negotiate, they may hold the grudges of humans. In that case, fate depends on who the other person is.

Shatia stood up from the stump to explore the signs of magic around her. I feel slight but the same sign of a witch. Does feeling bigger than earlier mean you're here? When Shatia thought so, the nearby grass swayed with gutter.

I didn't think so. Shatia unwittingly waves up her arms. I can put magic in there so I can activate magic at any time. But what emerged from the grass was Moffy with a lot of leaves stuck to her brown hair.

"Shatia, I found it!!

"... Moffy?

Shatia blinked her eyes at Moffy, who suddenly appeared, and gave her a heartfelt look of surprise. Turn off the magic that was in it and unload the arm without force while still shaking it up. Moffy hugged her with tears in her eyes at such a grumpy chattier.

"Good, 'cause you worried about me. I went to the village chief because Shatia wouldn't come back when I stood. Then he told me about the witch... I thought Shathia was out of the village trying to see the witch..."

That's what Nara Moffy said with tears on her cheeks where the dirt is stuck.

Apparently, he asked the village chief what he knew about Shatia not coming at all, who promised to play, and thought Shatia had gone out to see about the witch. Shatia thought it was rare for Moffy to have her head spinning, and leaked her inspirational breath. And at the same time I felt sorry for myself.

"Right... sorry, let me worry"

"It's true ~. It's been so hard getting here... oh, you know what I'm going to do on my way home ~?

Moffy suddenly turned toward the path she had come, leaking an anxious voice. When she saw it, Shatia shook her neck to the side like a jerk.

If Shatia hadn't stopped chasing knights along the way and gone towards the Demons, I'm sure she wouldn't have met Moffy. Shatia felt it was a strange miracle for a long time.

"But how did you know you were looking for my witch?

Hugh and Shatia decided to ask Moffy because they had doubts about it.

Sure, the village chief told me about the witch, but that's not enough judgment material to guide me through the answer that I went looking for the witch. Shatia thought so and asked Moffy for an answer out of pure curiosity.

"Huh? 'Cause Shatia's always talking about witches. That's why you like witches, and you want to see them."

"Oh well..."

Looking back at Kurli, why is Moffy here? and answered in such a way as to inquire the other way.

Apparently from Moffy, Shatia's under the impression of saying she's a witch-loving girl. I did lend and read witch books a lot when I read them at home.

How about that, and Shatia slaps herself in the forehead. If rumors spread about witch lovers in the villages, I don't know what kind of eyes I could see. We must be aware that witches are still feared by people, even though they are no longer there. Shatia so retightened herself.

"... that?

For one thing, you can't look for a witch today anymore, and Shatia gave up, trying to follow Moffy home, when Moffy, who was walking out, suddenly stopped, leaning her neck wonderfully and staring at the trees that spread forward.

"What's up?

Not knowing why Moffy stopped, Shatia asks Moffy that as she put her arms together. Moffy roared like Mm-hmm trouble and replied as she shook her head left and right like a pendulum.

"Um, come on, Shatia, what was the way I came by earlier?... I think there are so many trees."

".................. ugh!!

As soon as she heard Moffy's words, Shatia felt a tremendous amount of magic in her hair. I don't know why I suddenly felt magic. But Shatia quickly reached out to Moffy's shoulder.

"Moffy! Back off!!!

First try to lower her back to keep Moffy safe. But it was too late. When I realized, the scenery distorted around me, and people's arms stretched out from where I thought it was a tree. The arm grabbed hold of Moffy and pulled him to himself to take him away. Did Moffy get some kind of spell hanging, or she's stuck moving like she's fallen asleep?

Shatia tongued and unleashed a ball of magic. If they took it, you can take it back. With that in mind, Moffy carried out an attack to such an extent that he would not be harmed. But the tree that had begotten man's arms struck down his magic with the other hand, and unleashed a mighty wave of magic at the next moment.

"Guh......!!

Magic wave of shock as strong as a gust. Shatia's little body was blown to the sky, and she quickly stepped down to the ground using floating magic.

When Shatia looked up, the scenery changed from earlier, and it was in a dark, giddy forest. Furthermore, in front of him stood a tall girl with feathers of a robe holding Moffy. Seeing the girl, Shatia let her shoulders wave like she was shocked.

"Much better... hallucinogenic magic... emerald"

It was a fellow witch, the “Innocent Witch” Emerald, whom Shatia knew well.

Beautiful looking girl's face peeking from the hood, dripping golden hair, beautiful blue eyes shining like gems. Definitely, it was an emerald that Shatia knew. But what's slightly different is the look, the atmosphere. Old Emerald was a bright girl with a good smile, whereas now Emerald's eyes were driven by madness and woefully distorted, entangling a dark atmosphere as if it were all despair.

"That way of talking... this magic. You, Shatifar?

Staring at Shatia in front of him, Emerald tilted her neck as she thought. The movement was mechanical, with occasional crisp and unpleasant sounds. And finally Emerald realized that Shatia was the witch Shatifar, and she was happy to pull her mouth off. But it's also disastrous. Her present smile, which was supposed to look good on her smile, looked terribly sad.

"Oh...... glad. I see you... I see my people. You're alive, aren't you, Shatifar?"

"Oh, it's good to see you too."

Emerald smiling but still seemed really happy to see his fellow witches, shaking his eyes in tears. Let him wiggle his shoulders and take a trembling motion to joy. Shatia was also actually happy and rarely zeroed a grin. But Shatia won't be alarmed. The signs of Emerald that I felt earlier are very distorted. Besides, she still has a thing for Moffy. Shatia had a bad feeling about it.

"Emerald... you, what about that body?

I saw Emerald's body with only the robe. Surprisingly, she was wearing nothing under her robe. But what was there was not the girl's white skin, but something in the form of an inorganic human body, like ceramics. The figure is like a doll, and Shatia asks that unexpectedly.

"Is this it? I used possessory magic when I died... on the doll's body. So I managed to survive, but I'm still not in the mood."

That's what Emerald came to show his arm as he shyly leaned down. Cold arms, white as bones, without life. That arm of the doll moved its fingers as it made a crisp and swinging noise inside. It's really the body of a doll. But Shatia still has questions.

"... are you adding your own flesh to the doll's body?

"Yes, he's the one who rolled around even when it comes to dolls... because possessive magic can't be possessed unless it's something that's connected to the user. He added my face and my organs."

I didn't think so. When Shatia asked, Emerald gave me an amazing answer.

Apparently, although Emerald was possessed of good, he was still possessed by a doll without any memories, so he was dying soon. In doing so, she seems to have disassembled her own body with desperate measures and stuffed it into the doll's body.

Sure, if you look closely, there are marks around her neck that look like stitches. Sometimes I make creepy noises without bones attached. Can you say that? Shatia trembled too shockingly.

"... that was hard. Emerald."

"... Yes"

Shatia accidentally wept over Emerald's condition, which was too harsh. She was betrayed by that human being and even became the body of a doll after all the care she had taken about interacting with humans and trying to make them understand the witch. Too sad.

If I could, Shatia wanted to put it back up. But I'm sure that will be as difficult as the ritual of resurrection. Shatia resented that merciless fate. But there is still hope. As long as we have the same people, we will not die for real. That's how witches like Shatia and the others have always cared about their people.

"But it's okay! Me, I finally got to meet Shatifar, so there's nothing to be scared of anymore!! With the leader Shatifar I would follow you everywhere!!

Emerald said so forcefully with his hands on his chest and retreated.

That's how she believed me everywhere for a long time. It was also a pleasure for Shatia that the friendship had not changed. Yeah, I knew I'd be fine, Emerald remains a sweet kid. Unexpectedly, Shatia assumed so.

"Well, can you let that kid go for now? He's my friend for once."

That's what Chhatia said and pointed to Moffy. If you let me get hurt or something, I'll make a scene in the village. Besides, I've been there a while, and I have to lie to Moffy again. I thought we needed to make sure she was safe for now, and that's what Shatia asked. But Emerald's words returned were unexpected.

"... Huh? No, you can't. 'Cause this guy's human, right? The abomination that killed us witches. We have to kill him."

For a moment, Shatia couldn't understand what Emerald was saying. From that warm, always cherished interaction with humans, the words to the effect of killing humans, etc. were very, but incredible.

Shatia gets stiff. When I saw Emerald's evil grin on his face, I intuited that something that should not have happened.

"... emerald?

"Yes, let's burn this kid's village first. And then they're looking for me. Are the Knights and the Demons there? It's a hassle. Let's kill him!

That's what Emerald said as if he were thinking about his dedication this evening, poking Moffy's cheek in his arms.

Tasteless. This is very unsavory. Shatia sweated cold at the fact that her hunch had been centered and stared at her face as if to ask how Emerald was doing.

"It's okay! I can do anything with Shatifar!!

Really, he's got a tender grin. its flesh that died once, but still Emerald was making the best smile. But its interior is terribly dark and full of bad thoughts. This was a totally corrupt witch figure.

Shatia realized. Oh, Emerald, you've come to a point where you can't go back. He meditated his eyes small, and Shatia shook her neck left and right.

"... emerald"

"Yes?"

When Château called his name, Emerald turned his face towards Château without any doubt. I used to be like a really cute sister. I always dreamed of peace with those beautiful blue eyes that didn't stain anything. The eyes of such an adorable girl look terribly distorted now. Shatia basically waved her arms to the side.

"... Grr!?

Suddenly a small sphere of magic was released, striking directly at Emerald's shoulder. She groaned and let go of Moffy, blowing away towards the trees.

Shatia quickly grabs Moffy and sees if she's safe. And he stared in the direction in which Emerald flew away, and opened his mouth sadly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I've been telling you this for a long time. He said you can't just do it back. Besides, this girl is a dear friend of mine. I won't let you hurt me."

Rarely was Shatia's voice caged in anger. But the anger is not directed at Emerald. It was against me. I couldn't protect my people, I couldn't stop Emerald, who was a pure girl, from changing so far. True, pity. But that's why we have to stop it.

Ready, Shatia decided to stop Emerald from being ambitious. If you can do it, I want you to do it now, with a blow or a stun. But the wish apparently did not come true, and the trees broke down with a sound, and from among them arose an emerald in which only the robe was, and the flesh of the doll was dew.

"Really... Shatifar takes human side... but how much do you say you get in my way... kill him!!

Emerald's eyes stained black. Reflectively, Shatia closes her eyes and keeps her gaze out of contact with Emerald. But the sudden sharp shock ran to his body. When I accidentally opened my eyes, Emerald was unleashing a magic cannon, and Shatia blew into the woods with Moffy, who was caught in it and held it.
