Chapter 232 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task

“Laugh… “

The back of my hand felt cool through the glove, but I opened my mouth without showing it. Laura let out a short moan, perhaps taken aback, but her face remained calm.

“Beast! Savage! Flirt! Human!”

Puck, Puck-La Ella, who was freed by her, swung her Bung-Bung fist and slapped her on my side, but she was more like a massage to her, so I ignored her, and I pressed down on her Puk-hat and stroked her head. Was

“Qua!”

“I would like to hear a little bit about the witches and why they are not welcome as guests of the Countess.”

“Okay, I guess I have to explain to you. I’m going to the head of the village, the archwitch’s hut, so follow me.”

Suddenly, Laura turned around and trudged away normally. There was no reaction- The moment I felt sorry for myself, I confirmed that the tips of the white Laura’s ears were a little red, and I smiled faintly, took Raella’s hand, and followed her.

“Aww, ugh! Let go of this!”

“Oh, why are you being so cute? Huh? You want to bully me.”

I didn’t see her face, but the scent of a saint that neither her tight-fitting robes nor her small stature could hide made me lower my head, frightening La Ella. Her eyes met the innocent-eyed woman under her cone-shaped hat, and she tried to say something, but kyaaak! I missed my chance because I pulled my hat down with a scream.

“I’ll go first, mother!”

I laughed as I watched Ella run away like a dodododo-hamster, then stood close to Laura.

“You are bothering that child too much.”

“You’re cute, so I want to keep bothering you.”

“Huh, she’s the last witch to come to town, so she’s getting a lot of love. He’s a cute kid.”

“Have you just become an adult?”

Nodding, Laura glanced at me while explaining further.

“But if there is more possibility of the pregnancy potion Minerva made, countless children will be born under that child.”

“Ah, come to think of it, one person, ah, now there must be two.”

“That’s right. Whoa, Minerva herself has proven it, but she will be criticized if things go this way. It’s unfortunate.”

Is that enough? I looked at Laura questioning, but she stared at me with cold black eyes as she spoke.

“That’s why Minerva’s long-cherished wish is a heavy and great one. She must be certain of her wish as the child has fulfilled her wish and has been rewarded by her witches.”

Or come up with some other alternative.

Laura licked her full lips and turned her body around with an incomprehensible story. Confirming that the witches filling the streets had disappeared before I knew it and that I had set foot in a forest full of fresh trees and flowers, I spoke to Laura excitedly.

“It’s so amazing. If you take your eyes off it for a moment, the scenery changes quickly.”

“It is the power of witches. Now that we have arrived, please wait a moment.”

Arriving in front of a large house contrary to the name of the cabin, Laura put her shh-index finger to her lips and took the lead. Standing in front of the chestnut-colored wooden door, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“This is Laura. I brought a benefactor.”

[Come in… ]

The relaxed old woman’s voice resonated warmly. Kyik, who opened the door and stepped aside, Laura held out his hand and told him to go in first, and I accepted the favor and pushed my foot through the door.

“Nice to meet you, Minerva’s mate, Cassano-kun… “

The old man with a benevolent smile stood up with a cane and a trembling body. I waved my hand at her appearance, which matched the age and age of the name Grand Witch, and asked kindly.

“You don’t have to wake up. You must be uncomfortable, but I will come closer.”

“Huh, that’s nice… “

I can’t be as vicious as an old man. It’s all the more since you openly show goodwill there. Wearing overflowing courtesy, I stood next to the old man and said to the old woman.

“As you said, my name is Cassano. Maybe your name… ?”

“I am Kaya, the Great Witch of the Witchcraft, the Guardian Witch of young witches… “

“Nice to meet you. Somehow I came to the village… “

“Whoops, how come… Didn’t that kid send you here? Now, where was it… “

“This is Hormia, old man.”

“Yes, among the humans there… For a moment.”

A thump, Kaya tapped the tip of her wand on the floor, and a thump, heat engulfed me. However, since it was closer to warmth enveloping me rather than scorching heat, I did not respond, and the ashes came out of the fire and scattered as they were.

“Like a sneaky child, you have something attached to you. Doesn’t it look like it’s firmly stamped?”

“He knows nothing.”

I looked at Laura and Kaya alternately at the unknown flow of the conversation. It must have been Kaya’s sudden move. Haa, Laura let out a sigh and spoke a surprising story.

“The Countess of Hormia, she is Stelgia, the flower witch. Intervening with humans for her own long-cherished desires and wielding her power as she pleases, she lives on her own.”

“A witch.”

Come to think of it, there was a lot of information. She had introduced this place, saying that it was a hometown that you could not know or go to unless you were a witch and the strange things related to flowers that she experienced while carrying out the tasks she had given her.

“What is your long-cherished wish, that you are occupying the position of countess?”

To my question, Laura let out a cold sigh and answered quietly.

“Witches don’t speak their long-cherished wishes easily, but as you are our benefactor, you should know.”

“She is a flower witch who seeks bondage, giving all her allegiance to the companion she has chosen. For the sake of the 6th prince who saved her, without the knowledge of the 6th prince, she seizes her power as a countess and supports the prince in everything.”

Kaya knocked on her wand and said in a slightly angry voice.

“But it is overly meddling with humans. If this continues, the empire that learned the truth or witch hunt will use Stelgia as an excuse to find us.”

Kaya, who explained that a witch is a mysterious race that is naturally chosen and born as a witch, and that’s why it’s a race that has a lot of oppression and sanctions.

“But he is also very dull. He doesn’t even know that the owner of the thing he wants is right next to him.”

“Master, it’s not like it’s something the countess wants… “

“Yes, the product of Minerva’s long-cherished dream all her life, the pregnancy potion.”

My ears turned red at the blatant name, but I was about to shake my head and ask Kaya, the head of the witches, a question.

“Ah, but they say witches aren’t able to conceive smoothly with the pregnancy potion. Are you in a very difficult situation?”

“If it is difficult, it is difficult, and if it is not difficult, it is not. If the result of the long-cherished dream of a lifetime is incomplete, that’s because the honor of that child, Minerva, will hit rock bottom.”

Isn’t that serious? The moment I was about to ask a question, Kaya knocked on the floor and said with a smile.

“But since you, who have achieved Minerva’s long-cherished wish, have come here, there is nothing difficult. If there is no seed suitable for the potion, it is a problem that can be solved if you who were born with that seed work hard.”

“… ?”

“Countess, it seems that Stelgia has asked you to bring her a pregnancy potion, but if you do our favor, she will hand it to you. This is a request, not a threat. I ask that she read your desires, knowing that she can go to Minerva and get her things if you will.”

Aww, Laura clasped her own hand and bowed her head. I didn’t notice the shy look and Kaya’s whirling speech, so I tilted her head and looked at Kaya.

“If there is a problem I can help with, I will help.”

“All witches with mates are waiting for Minerva to be improved, and they say that the improvement is proceeding without any problems.”

“But in this village, most of the poor witches have no mates and want children.”

“Please, impregnate witches who want to become pregnant in the village. It would be impossible without you, who helped me achieve my long-cherished wish.”

“… “

I tried to answer yes, but the words didn’t come out easily. There were still a lot of women who couldn’t get pregnant in the village, but if I did it first here, I would hear a sigh.

“I understand what you are worried about. Don’t worry, there are many witches trying to find their mates with Minerva’s potion, so there won’t be as many crowds as you think.”

With Kaya’s persuasion and Laura’s staring gaze, I finally nodded her head.

In fact, I dreamed of something like this at least once. Every man dreams of it, so I couldn’t refuse, and I accepted Kaya’s request because I wanted to experience a midsummer night’s dream.

“All right. We will try our best.”

“Again, I won’t be putting heavy responsibilities on you, so I want you to hug me with a light heart. As children of witches, our goal is to raise them with our own hands and raise them to become great witches.”

“All right.”

“Then, today I will recruit applicants and coordinate the schedule as much as possible and let you know, so take a break. Laura?”

“Yes, I will guide you.”

Kuuk, Laura grabbed me by the shoulders, lifted me up, and opened the door. Bowing, I greeted Kaya and looked at Laura while breathing in fresh air. She looked at me with an expressionless face, but the tips of her ears were stained red.

“I-I’m sorry. It was a story I had with Minerva once, but I was going to move on to something that hadn’t happened in the end, but whoa – to hear you suddenly bring up a story.”

“No. If it’s something only I can do, it’s right to help. Also, she didn’t help, she risked Minerva’s honor, and if she failed in the end, she would be blamed by her… I have to take care of her as much as she is my woman.”

It was sincere. People and women who have watched me for a long time would have criticized me for being blinded by the story of many witches, but I really had 90% of my heart for Minerva. Of course, 10% is the relationship with numerous witches.

“Whoops, that’s a great idea. Well, uhm, I tried to say something, but it’s a little embarrassing.”

“No. Please speak slowly.”

“… Let’s stay at my house for now, a personal request… There is also, and since our house is the most spacious here, you will be able to stay comfortably too.”

“Is that so? If so, I will be grateful to stay.”

Following Laura, who was bewildered but kept glancing at me, I managed to enter the room I was led to after being hit by Raella’s screams that were rolling around in Laura’s house.

Thud!

I closed the door and lay down on the bed as if collapsing. I couldn’t help but stay up all night, and the intuition that I would regret it if I didn’t sleep now shook me, so I fell into a deep sleep.
