"If that man hadn't shown mercy, I'd probably be in hell by now," Liselotte thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile.
If things were done according to the normal procedure, a witch like herself, who had committed countless sins, would not be worthy of being redeemed by the gentle twilight.
But that man was willing to give her a chance, a chance for a fair deal.
If you work for me and demonstrate your value, then I'm willing to give you a chance to change.
The other party was not a god, but wielded divine power. Instead of offering Liselotte salvation free of charge, they gave her a transaction with a price tag.
"Ah, it's Ms. Liselotte!"
"Teacher, teacher, when will you teach us more interesting magic?"
Suddenly, Liselotte, who was lost in thought, was interrupted by a group of cheerful, childlike voices.
A large group of children, led by Aihara Enju, excitedly surrounded Liselotte, clamoring to learn magic from her.
The construction of the Reizhe Port area is proceeding at a lightning speed. With 3D printing technology, any college can be built simply by inputting data and projecting it.
After the magic classes were opened in the port area, children like Enju Aihara, who loved watching magical girls, were all very excited and eagerly signed up.
After all, learning magic is extremely attractive to children, let alone these kids who love watching "Heavenly Punishment Girl".
"Tsk, you bunch of brats..."
Liselotte's face darkened when she saw the group of kids surrounding her. As a witch, she wasn't good at dealing with genuine kindness, let alone this group of children.
However, Lizzie is very good at dealing with children, which is the opposite of Lizzielotte.
"Teacher, teacher! Aren't you tired of floating around like this without shoes?"
A young child watched as Liselotte's bare, fair, and smooth feet floated in the air, biting his finger and asking curiously.
Unlike Lizzie's pure white attire, Lizzie's all-black outfit with purple accents was very attractive to the children, and Lizzie always appeared barefoot.
Do you feel tired when you breathe?
Liselotte sighed and said in a nonchalant tone that flying and floating didn't consume much magic power at all, even without the Void Stone.
In the past, she probably would have been quite sharp-tongued, but now she is the teacher of tens of thousands of children, and for the sake of her deal with Rezhe, she won't speak ill of these children.
"And you, I remember your name is Aihara Enju, right? I said last time that although you can learn magic, your talent isn't in the magic path, so why are you here with me?"
Liselotte crossed her arms and floated down from above, looking down at the red-haired, red-eyed Enju, feeling a bit of a headache from this annoying little girl.
After all, whenever she sees this little girl, she begs her to teach her magic. Although Aihara Enju can learn, she doesn't have much talent, and continuing to develop her skills would be a waste of time.
"Hmph, I won't give up! I'm determined to become a magical girl so I can grow up!"
With a cheerful expression on her face, Aihara Enju showed no fear of Liselotte's condescending aura, and said coquettishly with her hands on her hips.
"...Magical girl? What's that all about? What does it have to do with you growing up!?"
Liselotte's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the precocious brat in front of her, feeling a bit helpless.
After all, although the other person was precocious, they were still immature. The fact that they wanted to grow up quickly in order to learn magic made the witch laugh.
"Of course it's related! Magical girls can transform! If I could transform into a curvy figure like those older girls in the port, all the big brothers would definitely be smitten with me!!"
With a serious expression, Aihara Enju pointed to Zeppelin, who was working in the distance, and said with longing and envy in her eyes.
The other children also looked at Zeppelin with envy, their bodies so incredibly fit that they could only dream of it.
Moreover, there are quite a few older women in the port area with figures comparable to Zeppelin's, and the most popular one among the children is Frederick the Great.
Many children regarded Frederick as a mother figure. Her gentle temperament and maternal nature made these children, who had not received parental love in their childhood, attached to her. They also wanted to become a mature and beautiful older sister like Frederick.
Moreover, there are quite a few heretics in the port area, like Little Swan, who have huge breasts despite their youthful appearance, which is really disheartening for these kids.
Upon hearing Aihara Enju's reason for learning magic, Liselotte's face immediately broke into an obviously wicked smile. Looking at Enju, she asked with amusement:
"You really like that man? Judging from your tone, it's the kind of liking that comes from romantic love. Do you even know the man you're talking about?"
You like Rai Zhe? Just because of these kids?
Unable to discern the difference between herself and the other person, and unable to see even a trace of their true nature, she naively harbored such thoughts about the man's undisguised bag.
Liselotte was amused by Aihara Enju's overconfident behavior.
"Hmph! So what? There are plenty of comrades in the port area who have the same feelings for Big Brother Bao, so naturally we have to be the first to do it!"
Aihara Enju expressed her feelings without any shame. Raiichi and Yu had appeared together to save her, leaving the deepest impression on her life. At that time, she only had a crush on him.
But Rai Zhe didn't ask for much in return; he gave her a home and a future she could continue living with. It was at that time that Aihara Enju truly fell in love with him.
The cursed children in the port area view Raiji in three main ways.
The first is to regard him as a savior.
To these cursed children, Razer led them away from that malicious world, gave them a home, fixed their physical defects, gave them the right to live, and allowed them to pursue happiness.
These children are genuinely grateful to Rei Zhe and are even willing to give everything for him.
Secondly, she treated Raiji and the ship girls in the port area as elders, like parents.
The cursed child, having never received care and love from parents or elders, or having been abandoned by them, is a child who is extremely deprived of love from a young age, and therefore craves affection and love even more.
Raiji and the older women in the port didn't mind their abnormality. They rescued them and gave them care and love like elders. They were like their second parents.
These children see Raiji and the port's ship girls as elders who will protect and care for them, and they feel not only affection but also attachment to them.
The third type is children like Aihara Enju or Fuse Midori, who are precocious, or rather, precocious and ambitious despite their young age.
They are more greedy at heart, wanting more than just family affection.
They wanted to get more of Razer's attention and wanted to get closer to him.
However, there are countless outstanding and more mature and beautiful girls in the port area, and Raiji almost always treats them as children, even though he knows they are precocious.
Port Ward has countless beautiful older sisters, including places like Taiho, Atago, St. Louis, Enterprise, Belfast, and Glorious.
They themselves were attracted by the different temperaments and personalities of these older women, which shows just how charming these older women are.
Ambitious children like Yeonju naturally understand this principle, which is why they try to find ways to become better.
So growing up is one way, since they are still young and don't have older sister ship girls who can shake and make a puffing sound.
"Ha, I really don't know whether to mock you or pity you..."
Looking at Aihara Enju, the witch spoke with a complex expression that defied description.
Based on information about this world and memories obtained from Reiji, Lizeroth could roughly deduce the thoughts of children like Enju.
It's perfectly normal for children who have lacked love and never been treated gently to be moved when they suddenly receive care and tenderness they never dared to imagine before.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why, even though those children possess great power, they are still firmly controlled in the dark world of bullets.
These children are willing to give their all for even the smallest bit of care, which is the tragedy of children in this world and one of the twisted aspects of the world that Razer finds so abhorrent.
"Hmph, you're a skinny person too, so you have no right to talk about us!"
With her hands on her hips, Aihara Enju looked Liselotte up and down, then pouted and said...
The other children also looked at Liselotte's figure with strange expressions, and then looked down at their own, their eyes immediately revealing a proud look.
Our teachers aren't much physically stronger than us, so we still have room for improvement.
"You bunch of brats..."
Enju's words and the expressions of the children around her made Liselotte's forehead bulge with anger. Being mocked for her figure by a child really made her a little angry.
But since she was, after all, the mentor appointed by Rezhe Trading, she couldn't act as if she were dealing with an enemy.
At first, Liselotte thought the deal with Rezer was a bit too simple, but now she doesn't think so anymore.
She needs to train a considerable number of top-quality magicians from among hundreds of thousands of children for Razer, which is definitely not an easy task.
If she had to constantly deal with precocious brats like Aihara Enju, Liselotte felt that her mental health would suffer considerably.
However, in order for Razer to fulfill his wish, she must accomplish this task.
But just as Liselotte was having a headache over these kids, she heard familiar teasing laughter behind her.
"Looks like you get along well with these kids; you've already got a bunch of little fangirls in such a short time..."
Liselotte snorted coldly, immediately recognizing who it was, and turned her head to see the familiar golden figure.
The person who came was Lei Zhe, who walked over slowly with a gentle smile on his face, as if he were dealing with a child.
"Wow! It's a dazzling big brother!!"
"Sparkling...so cool."
The children immediately surrounded Raiji with excitement, and Aihara Enju looked at Raiji, who resembled a golden king, with shining eyes.
When she first met Razer, he was a boy, but now he has become a more mature young man with long, shining blond hair. It's not surprising that there are many magical beings in the port area, especially now that magic exists.
The children found Razer even more charming because no matter how he changed, his attitude towards them remained the same—gentle and kind.
However, this kind of Razer gave them a very reassuring feeling, and the children who had once lived a precarious life were fascinated by this feeling.
"Children, soon your big brother will be leading the older sisters to rescue more of your companions. Now you should go back to the port area and don't make your big brother worry about you."
Gently patting the head of the child who approached, Lei Zhe looked down at the group of children and gave them instructions in a gentle and smiling tone.
His words were gentle to the children, but the children around him could feel the authority of an elder from his gentle words. They didn't dislike this feeling; on the contrary, they liked it.
"Keep it up, big brother, but don't overwork yourself."
"Hmm... I will grow up quickly to help my brother."
"Goodbye big brother!"
Although all the children were somewhat reluctant to leave, they obediently and orderly departed. They were precocious and naturally knew what they should not interfere with or hinder. They didn't know how many of their compatriots were suffering while they were gossiping.
He didn't say anything about helping either. Rezer had once openly stated that only grown-up children were qualified to help him, and he refused all attempts by children to become initiators in return.
Lan Yuan Enju was also very unwilling to accept this. She stood there, looking at Rai Zhe with a hesitant expression, recalling how he treated each child with equal kindness and gentleness. But she wanted more...
Raizel could naturally read Yeonjoo's complex emotions. He crouched down, a helpless yet kind smile on his face, and gently pressed his forehead against Yeonjoo's as she blushed. Looking directly into her shy and conflicted eyes, he whispered:
“We’ll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. You already have a future, so why are you in such a hurry? You’re the first child I’ve ever met. Are you afraid that I’ll forget you when I have more friends, Yeonju?”
"Ugh... I... I didn't... I didn't!!!"
Aihara Enju immediately covered her forehead in embarrassment and took a step back, stubbornly denying it to Raize in front of her, and then skipped away like a little rabbit.
That's exactly what she thought. She was both happy and worried about having more companions. She was afraid that Lei Zhe, whom she liked, would have a weaker impression of her, so she was always eager to prove herself and attract more of his attention.
