My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 36 A hero will come to me on a colorful cloud to bring me food

The heart is ashamed.

This was the feeling of Kalia, who was tied to a chair and unable to move by magic ropes.

Not being able to move caused my neck and shoulders to ache, and the pain in my wrists was secondary.

The point is... she hasn't had time to eat anything today!

It’s been almost 24 hours since I last ate!
Her stomach was protesting violently at this moment. The contraction of her abdominal muscles and the acid that began to flow back into her throat made her extremely desperate.

If there is no dinner tonight, doesn't that mean she has to wait until tomorrow morning to eat?
Don’t let this happen! Don’t let it happen that I can’t have dinner!
Unfortunately, with Fram's mouth sealed, Kalia could only make meaningless whimpering sounds and couldn't even send out a basic distress signal.

Now she can only be a poor thing lying on a chair like a cricket pupa.

After struggling for a while, Kalia became even hungrier and gave up resisting completely.

Forget it, let it be destroyed... Kalia tilted her head and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window.

Well, there is not much scenery to see, and it’s dark.

I don’t know why the old lady hasn’t come back after being out for so long.

And Roland!

Doesn’t this guy know to come and see me?

Driven by hunger, Kalia began to miss Roland.

She began to recall the experience of being hunted and starving for the better part of a month, having to eat grass and dirt to survive. She also recalled the pot of fish soup and bread she had that evening...

No, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

Yes, aggrieved.

Oddly enough, this was the first time Kalia had felt this emotion so clearly.

Perhaps it was because in the previous sixteen years of her life, she had only her teacher, Fram, by her side. No matter whether she was scolded or punished, in the end she could only confide in this teacher who was like a mother to her.

Or maybe, it was just because she felt that at this moment, she had another friend with whom she could confide her troubles and sorrows.

But are they really just friends?

Kalia's mood suddenly became complicated.

Although she had promised Roland that they would be lifelong friends...she was beginning to regret it now.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with just being friends for life.

With her mind free, Kalia quickly forgot her previous grievances and her hunger.

"But this guy seems to have such low emotional intelligence, and I don't see any friends around him... there's no need to rush, right?"

"Well, there's no need to rush, right?"

After comforting herself in her heart, Kalia breathed a sigh of relief.

It's like putting down a heavy burden.

"Dong dong dong."

"Kalia, I'm coming in."

"!!!"

After hearing the familiar voice, Kalia's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly became chaotic again.

But before she could react, the door was opened.

"Pfft."

When Roland, who was carrying a packed dinner, saw Kalia's appearance at the moment, he couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that Ms. Fram is really angry."

Roland completely ignored Kalia's flushed face and sat on the bed in the room, then placed dinner on the table in front of Kalia.

"Okay, stop it, be careful not to knock your food to the ground."

"Although I think this amount of food is not enough for you, unfortunately, the dining car uses a separate meal system, and each person only gets this much."

"These are the ones you see. I asked the flight attendant for an extra portion."

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Roland said as he placed his hand on the binding spell that bound Kalia. As expected, this binding spell cast by Fram himself came with a built-in countermeasure.

The rope that was originally bound to Kalia split into a new one out of thin air and flew towards Roland.

It seemed as if they were going to tie up Roland as well.

"EIWAZ."

Roland muttered to himself, and then a steady wave of magic power spread out, and the rope, and even the rope tied to Kalia, disappeared.

Even the golden light that sealed Kalia's mouth was dispelled.

"It seems that Ms. Fram's method of preventing you from speaking is also an extension of this binding spell."

Roland, who had just experimented with the rune skills, was very satisfied.

Although the mana consumption deducted by percentage is a bit high, it is obvious that the effect of this skill is worth the consumption.

No, it’s better to say that the consumption may be a little less.

Invalidation is invalidation.

As the protection of the World Tree took effect, Roland could clearly sense that the binding spell cast by Fram had disappeared out of thin air.

It's as easy and clean as deleting a document on the desktop using the delete key.

"boom!"

As soon as Roland finished speaking, Fram pushed the door open and walked in.

She stared straight at Roland, serious and curious: "How did you do it?"

"It's just a matter of dispelling the spell. For you, who are about to reach the fourth ring, it's not impossible as long as you are patient enough."

"But... what method did you use? Why can't I use this technique again after you removed it?"

Roland was stunned by Fram's answer.

Well, this thing seems to be more effective than I thought.

However, Fram is an old veteran in the industry after all, a hero who has followed the brave man to defeat the demon king.

After calming down and analyzing the situation carefully, Fram slowly said, "Everyone has their own secrets. I won't ask too many questions."

"My spell was temporarily sealed. No matter how I mobilized my magic power or how I adjusted the spell's operation, the spell that bound the ropes would collapse at the last moment."

"But I can sense that this is only a temporary effect. I will still be able to use this technique after a while."

"You don't have to worry about that. Instead, I want to remind you of Roland."

Fram took a deep breath and said, "Not everyone is like me. It's better not to use this technique unless it's a critical moment. At least, don't use this ability casually until you are strong enough."

"I understand." Roland nodded seriously, then changed the subject: "So, Ms. Fram, what's our bet?"

"Hmph, you win." Fram's lips curled up slightly. She didn't look angry at all, but rather a little relieved.

"What bet?"

Kalia, who had regained her freedom with Roland's help, finally dared to speak.

"It's about whether you can have dinner or not." Roland explained: "Ms. Fram said that as long as I can let you have dinner, she won't care."

Upon hearing this, Kalia immediately glared at Fram with a murderous look in her eyes.

Fram didn't react at all. She just looked at Roland and said, "You guys chat slowly. I'm going to go back and rest."

After saying that, Fram returned to her room next door.

Roland turned his head and looked at Kalia: "Okay, just take your time eating. I'm going back to my room."

"Enjoy your meal. Of course, if you're not full, don't eat."

"After all, the more you eat, the hungrier you get."

“It’s better to stay hungry. Once you’re hungry past that critical point, you won’t be hungry anymore.”

Watching Roland walk out the door, Kalia suddenly felt even more regretful and uneasy.

Just looking at the dinner packed in a lunch box on the table...I should eat first.
