Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

Two days passed quickly.

Life in Frosttown returned to its usual tranquility.

The aftershocks of St. Hilde's incident were like a stone thrown into water, the ripples spreading out in circles before slowly disappearing. Those imprisoned remained in the church cellar, fed daily, but no one visited them.

Andrei was locked in the innermost cell, his back against the cold stone wall, his eyes closed, motionless.

Nobody knows what he's thinking.

Nobody wants to know.

For the past two nights, Wayne and Mimi have frequently gone to the hotel called "Cats and Bells" to watch cat shows.

The proprietress recognized them.

Every time she pushed open the door, she would stand up from behind the counter, take the same key from the wall, place it on the counter, and wear a smile that said, "I know everything, but I won't say anything."

Mimi is starting to get used to this kind of life.

She's busy at the church during the day.

Go to Cat and Bell at night.

Everything is going smooth.

In terms of performance, the two are like partners who have worked together for many years. She even thought that it would be nice if things could continue like this.

But she's leaving tomorrow.

Therefore, she cherishes every performance.

Two days is neither a long nor a short time, but it's enough for two people to get to know each other thoroughly.

The two initially thought everything would proceed smoothly, without any dramatic twists or turns. However, that wasn't the case. The goddess always seemed to enjoy the unexpected.

The second night before Mimi left.

Restless people have emerged.

She appeared when Mimi was at her most helpless.

This helplessness is like the feeling of vulnerability that suddenly arises when you're squatting down to relieve yourself in a dense field of rapeseed flowers.

This person is Emily.

She didn't come in through the front door, and no one knows how long she had been hiding in the shadows at the corner of the bed.

Mimi was startled when she found her.

However, she knew Emily.

The two met without speaking, yet understood each other's eyes. And so, Emily joined the cat-teasing adventure in a rather strange way.

Under the arrangement of the hotel owner.

The items that were supposed to be delivered were delivered again.

There's a cat in the room.

A purple cat.

The purple cat is a bit mischievous.

However, whether a cat is obedient or not depends mainly on how well the cat toy works, which is Emily's newly summarized experience in teasing cats.

Mimi had always thought Emily was the kind of soft, timid person who always followed others. Originally, she had been thinking of teaching this seemingly clueless purple-eyed little girl some cat-teasing techniques.

However, Mimi was overthinking it.

Emily is very experienced when it comes to petting cats.

Especially the other orange tabby cat that wandered in.

Under the shadows, Emily made full use of her speed, a trait that helped her quickly catch the orange cat and completely subdue it.

Wayne was not surprised by this.

This is Emily's talent.

He was fortunate enough to have witnessed it.

The same applies today.

On the other hand, in the past two days...

The two little ones also became mysterious.

The door was closed, the curtains were drawn, and nothing could be seen from the outside. Vera knocked on the door to deliver the food, and a voice inside replied, "Just leave it at the door." After Vera left, the door opened a crack, a hand reached out, carried the tray inside, and then the door closed again.

Wayne passed by their room twice, and listened in from the doorway; it was very quiet inside.

He didn't knock on the door, nor did he ask any questions.

It's a good thing that the little girl has some secrets of her own.

But he noticed something.

The two little ones didn't blame him for not coming back to sleep with them that night. On the contrary, with the help of the panel's prompts, Wayne discovered—they were glad he hadn't come back on Judgment Day.

As for what exactly I'm glad about.

Only they themselves know the answer.

However, there were some gains from these two days. At least Emma learned that she and her master wouldn't have a child simply by kissing. As for more information, she learned it from the storybooks her sister had secretly bought.

Time quickly passed to the third day.

Babacar, Jenny, and Mimi appeared at the church entrance. This time was different; their original goal was to kidnap Wayne, but this time they were there to return home and end this absurd trip.

There weren't many people seeing them off; it was just Wayne, Vera, and Emma Ella.

The fog was quite thick this morning.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.

Wayne broke the silence first.

"Is everything packed?"

Babaka patted the bundle on his back: "All packed, sir. We're ready to depart at any time." He paused, then added, "I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days."

Jenny peeked out from the side, took the blade of grass out of his mouth, and twirled it between his fingers. "I originally planned to leave yesterday, but I couldn't resist and stayed another day. Your Excellency, please don't be offended, it's just that Miss Vera's cooking is so delicious, I felt like I'd be missing out if I didn't have a meal before leaving."

Vera stood behind, smiling brightly.

Mimi remained silent.

Her gaze swept across Wayne's face, then looked away. Finally, she took half a step forward and looked directly at Wayne.

"Mr. Wayne, we're leaving. Thank you for your help these past few days. It was a pleasure meeting you."

Wayne smiled and nodded.

The panel then appeared.

【Mimi - Separation Status】

Status: Extremely reluctant to part.

[Note: Her heart was heavy. Frosttown wasn't her home, and the church wasn't her final destination. But now that it was time to leave, she found her legs felt like lead, unable to move. Jenny's words about "staying an extra day" were ultimately for her sake. She almost didn't want to leave. Fortunately, Mimi got everything she wanted. At this moment, her heart was content, and her stomach was full too. Vera's breakfast was quite good. As for whether her stomach was full or not, it didn't have much to do with breakfast...maybe!]

[Additionally: Since the Eagle Street incident, Jenny has sensed that Babacar's gaze towards him has become increasingly strange. Thankfully, Mimi is going to travel with him, and even better, it seems that with Wayne's help, Mimi has successfully advanced to a fourth-tier assassin. Otherwise, he would never have wanted to go back with Babacar. To be honest, he somewhat regrets giving Babacar that amnesia potion. Babacar now feels that something happened back then, but he can't quite put his finger on it. This feeling of "something seems to have happened but I can't remember" makes Babacar's gaze towards Jenny increasingly complex. From doubt to scrutiny, from scrutiny to suspicion, from suspicion to a kind of...probing that makes Jenny's scalp tingle. Jenny feels that if things continue like this, something will inevitably happen between him and Babacar sooner or later.]

Wayne walked down the steps.

"May you all have a safe journey, and may the goddess bless you."

Babaka pressed his fist against his chest and bowed slightly: "My lord, take care."

Jenny also bowed, bending even lower than Babacar: "Take care, Your Excellency! I will definitely come to Frosttown to see you again when I have the chance!" He straightened up and added, "Don't forget me then."

Wayne's lips twitched slightly: "No."

Mimi stood still.

She bit her lip.

"Mr. Wayne, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"
