Chapter 88 – 88. Abduction

Having achieved his goal of finding a way to charge his smartphone, Yohan looked down at his smartphone with a satisfied expression.

Even though the Internet was not connected, this object was still a win of civilization.

It contained videos of several movies and dramas received from Earth, as well as some useful applications that work offline.

‘I don’t think I can accomplish anything right away with this, but…….’

Of course, just because you have a smartphone, you cannot immediately turn this world into a civilization suitable for a smartphone.

At best, it’s all about giving a little help in math or engineering. Can’t do anything more than that.

This was just one piece of evidence. Proof that it was not a dream that he came from Earth. An object full of nostalgia that makes you think of the earth again when you are tired of another world at any time.

‘Well, in the distant future, descendants will go wild….’

Hundreds of years later, I was looking forward to seeing how the next generations of mankind would react to the discovery of the smartphone. By that time, he would have already lost his white bones.

When she conveyed her words that she had fulfilled her purpose her and returned, Makina looked at them with a puzzled look on her face as if she had only come to visit for that purpose.

He told him to look around the empire and go, so she handed the imperial currency to John. The other witches said they weren’t bad and asked John to go on a picnic to the Empire.

It seems that an empire in which witches are not persecuted was strange in its own way, so they tried to find out how other witches were doing.

“John, let’s go over there this time!”
“Yes Yes. All right.”

Johann was taken here and there by his mentor and toured the interior of the empire. If you run a machine with coal, it would be normal for acrid fumes to cover the entire city, but surprisingly, the air in the empire was clean.

Looking at the clear sky, John deduced the reason. It didn’t take long for him to discover why the city was so clean.

The mechanical civilization they used was all an object from the hands of a single witch, and the imperial family handed it out to others and lent the right to use it.

When the imperial family not only could control air pollution, but also invented a more environmentally friendly technology—the imperial family immediately confiscated the old machinery they were using and rented a new one.

There are no complaints in this process. To be precise, even if there were complaints, there was no way to blow them off. Because of these technologies, the people of the empire were enjoying unprecedented abundance, and they had no idea how the machines worked in the first place.

‘At the light, is this shaved ice… ? Do you want to have air conditioning? How has technology developed so abnormally?’

The technological prowess of the empire varied widely, as expected from the magic produced by a single witch, rather than from standard scientific development.

A situation in which there are no things that I thought would exist, and there are a lot of things that I wonder why they exist…….

While the witches were wandering around exclaiming at a scientific civilization they had never seen before, they discovered a strange thing.

“Isn’t it?”
“Yeah, no.”

No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find the witch. In the first place, there was also the problem that witches were rare beings, but if they were used by the imperial family, wouldn’t it be strange if they met while wandering the streets openly?

However, they had never met any witches other than Makina today. It’s talking about two things.

“I wonder if all witches are in the imperial family.”
“Um… Wouldn’t it just kill everyone but him?”

A witch cannot escape from the imperial family.
Worthless witches are executed.

The party raised their hands on the latter possibility. In the first place, witches are not beings that humans can control. Powerful magic, and a curse as terrible as it is strong.

Among them, there was a curse that could not but harm humans, so there was no way the empire could appoint all witches.

“Then, is Makina’s story a lie?”
“It’s still too early to call it a lie…… Or, would you like to ask me directly?”
“Directly? Not bad.”

Evangeline and Margaret talked like that, then looked at John for a while.

“John, Master is going to have a drink for a while. Are you wandering around?”
“Yes? Master, what is that all of a sudden…….”
“Let’s go! Margaret! Depart!”

Looking at his teacher and Margaret, who had left him alone and left nothing to say, Johann looked into the void with a puzzled expression.

Then he carefully turned around to face the three witches looking at him.

“…… First of all, is there a dessert shop somewhere?”

Leading the three nodding witches, Yohan wandered around looking for a dessert shop.

* * *

The two witches returned to the castle they had seen earlier. I didn’t even have to ask for a destination. It’s only because those in power stand at the highest place.

Likewise, finding the emperor wasn’t too difficult. As a space witch, Margaret’s spatial perception was beyond imagination, and she was able to draw out the structure of a building by dispersing magical energy.

It was the royal guards patrolling the inside of the castle that stopped the two people from walking confidently without getting lost.

“Stop! Who are you! This place is only accessible to those with permission…….”
“I’m trying, my dear.”

Evangeline grinned and snapped her fingers, shattering the weapons they were holding. The guards, who saw the gun in their hands disintegrate and fall to the ground, realized that the two were witches.

“Damn it, what is this…….”

Immediately after pulling out a button from their pockets and pressing it, the two guards quickly ran away. The fight against the witch itself was considered meaningless.

It wasn’t a bad decision, and Evangeline and Margaret didn’t care about the two people running away and went straight to the emperor’s office.

Upon arriving at the emperor’s office, the two opened the door with a tilt of their heads when they realized that the door was open.

Jijiji Jik-!

The moment I put my hand on the door, intense electricity spurted out—the electricity melted the shelf that supported the flask full of poison, and poison gas began to flow to the ground.

If the person who entered this place was an ordinary person who didn’t know how to do it, or if it was a witch with poor skills, her life would have been in danger – but unfortunately, the ones in this place were old witches who had gone through all kinds of prenatal battles.

“Looks like you’ve already run away.”
“How do you know?”
“I guess that was the signal…… I wouldn’t have gone far anyway— Carpet, can you tell me?”

Evangeline looked down at the carpet on the floor and cast her spell, and the carpet in love lit itself up, marking the spot where the Emperor had trodden.

Looking at the emperor’s footprints and confirming that he had left shortly after, the two lifted up slightly and began to fly in pursuit of the emperor.

Because the running speed of the emperor was faster than the running speed of the emperor who was lacking in exercise all day sitting and working, the two of them faced the emperor before long.

“Ritz.”
“Know.”

The moment it caught my eye, there was no need to pursue it any further. Margaret snapped her fingers, and as a result, the emperor who had fled far away appeared in front of them.

Realizing that his vision had changed, the emperor let out a hollow laugh and looked at the two witches.

“What…… Was there ever a witch with this ability…….”
“Hey, isn’t that the emperor?”
“…… Yes. Jim is the emperor. Shouldn’t you be polite, witches?”
“Um…… Hey, are you the real emperor?”

Evangeline tilted her head and whispered to Margaret standing next to her. It was because the emperor standing in front of them was a girl who was too dignified to be an emperor.

Likewise, Margaret, who was lost, saw her flustered guards in the distance and realized that she was an emperor, or something comparable to her emperor her, and nodded her head.

“Right, what.”
“Yes-then our Emperor. Can we talk for a minute?”
“—A story, what is that…….”
“Let’s go, Ritz.”

After arresting the emperor, Evangeline and Margaret escaped from the castle. She then moved next to him again she found John’s spell somewhere in the city.

Since this process lasted less than a second, the emperor felt the space shift as soon as his eyes blinked.

The emperor, who moved like that, realized that he had come inside a teahouse in the empire.

“Here…….”

“Ah, Master. Are you here?”
“Yeah, I’m back.”
“Who is this kid?”

“…… Baby?”

While the emperor frowned slightly after hearing John’s words, Evangeline responded kindly to John’s answer.

“Ah, this is the emperor…… What is your name?”
“…… Frederica.”
“It’s Frederica.”
“Ah, the emperor?”
“…… ?”

Hearing the word emperor, John looked at her casually. From a witch who kidnapped her to a man who behaves unconcerned even after hearing that he is an emperor.

The emperor thought he had fallen into another world. I wonder if I was kidnapped to another world where the status of emperor and commoner was reversed…….
