I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Xier pulled the trigger with both hands, and just like the opponent's attack just now, countless bullets shot out from the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and flew towards the opponent.

"Interesting. Are you her apprentice?"

The other party finally spoke, and the 'she' she was referring to was, unsurprisingly, Seele's boss, the proprietress of this tavern - Bayonetta.

"Humph!"

Xier had no intention of talking to her and continued shooting with both guns, forcing the other party into a corner.

"What an aggressive little girl."

However, although Xier's attack was fierce, the white-haired woman easily resisted Xier's attack, which surprised Xier greatly.

Being able to resist his attack so easily, the combat experience of this woman in front of him must be far beyond that of ordinary people. She almost intuitively predicted the landing point of each of Xier's bullets, and then intercepted them with the double guns in her hands. None of the dozens of bullets could break through her defense line.

Xier launched the last wave of attacks and then stopped shooting.

"What's wrong? Little sister, are you tired?"

The white-haired woman asked with a smile when she saw Xier stopped attacking.

"Hmph, I'll give you a big one!"

But Xier was not so kind as to give her a chance to breathe. She stopped attacking just now just to accumulate energy for the next attack. Xier connected the two guns together, and the hot energy burst out from the junction of the two guns.

"This is!"

This powerful burst of energy made the charming woman, who had previously had a calm expression, frown. All her senses were telling her that she would surely die if she took this blow.

"Take this move from me! Skyfire! Unsheath!"

Huge energy blades shot out from the two guns, and the hot breath seemed to burn everything in the world. Xier held the Skyfire Self-Suicide in both hands and swung it towards the woman.

"Tsk!"

The white-haired woman didn't expect Xier to use a killing move directly. After finding that she couldn't dodge it at all, she decided to take the attack.

"PDEE BARMA"

As the woman chanted an obscure spell, powerful magic power surged out of her body. A red and black magic circle emerged beside her, and a female demon made of white hair emerged from the magic circle. She crossed her fists in front of her, and protected the woman tightly behind her to isolate her from the heat.

'ha! ’

The red giant blade and the devil's fists suddenly overlapped, and a huge energy wave spread out from between the two, directly blowing the surrounding tables and chairs into pieces, and then turned them into ashes in the energy collision.

"boom!"

The stalemate between the two did not last long. The explosive wave blew Xier away directly, and the woman who was protected by the devil behind her was not feeling well either. Although the devil's protection prevented her from being blown away, she absorbed most of the counter-shock wave. After all, only a part of the devil's power was summoned, and the woman had to use part of her magic power to control the devil's actions, so naturally there was not much magic power left to resist the impact.

"Tsk... I really like this skirt..."

Xier's figure walked out from the smoke and dust. The little skirt she was wearing had become tattered. If Xier hadn't consciously protected her clothes, her skirt would probably have turned into ashes like the tables and chairs around it.

"Why don't you want to tell me? If you don't confess now, you won't have another chance!"

Xier took the Skyfire Double Guns, which had already cooled down, back into her hands and looked at the woman who was standing there gasping for breath.

"Oh, what a lively little girl..."

The woman panted violently for a while and then returned to her original state. However, maybe it was because of the impact just now, her waist-length hair was now half as short. The woman gently lifted her hair and looked at Xier.

"That's it for now, but I will definitely get the Left Eye of Darkness!"

"Tsk, you want to run!"

Xier saw the woman's intention to leave, and quickly fired to try to stop her, but it was too late. The woman had drawn a magic circle in front of her that blocked all of Xier's attacks. A magic circle also appeared under her feet, and she sank down.

"Tsk... ran away..."

Seeing that the opponent had disappeared, Xier stopped chasing him, and her two guns turned into streams of light and retracted into space.

And when the woman left, the whole space quickly lost that awkward feeling and turned back into the familiar look that Xier was familiar with.

"Looks like everything is finally alright..."

Xier gently clenched her palms, feeling the familiar breath, and Xier let out a long sigh of relief.

"Nothing? I don't think it's all right..."

Just when Xier was relaxing, the proprietress's voice sounded from behind her, but her tone was full of gnashing teeth.

"Hey! Boss lady, you're back... Ahahaha" Seele's relaxed body suddenly stiffened. She slowly turned her head and saw Bayonetta with a kind smile.

"Yes, I'm back, so could you please tell me where the table and chairs in my original room went?"

"Ah...this..."

""

Chapter 11: Witch's Sorrow

"Xi~er~"

A voice as sweet as honey sounded behind Xier, but this sweet voice made Xier's back cold. Countless beasts ran through Xier's mind in an instant. She glanced around with her peripheral vision. Well, it was very clean, so clean that there was not a table or chair left.

(Oh no!!! I forgot to pay attention to the table and chairs!! They are all gone!!)

"Does our Miss Xi'er have anything to say about this empty scene in front of us?"

Bayonetta came in front of Seele, gently lifted her chin, and stared into Seele's eyes with her almond-shaped eyes, not allowing her to dodge at all.

"Ah...this..."

Xier's eyes rolled left and right, trying to think of some excuse to prevaricate.

However, under Bayonetta's strong gaze, Seele finally gave up the excuse. After briefly thinking about how to answer, she said with a helpless expression on her face and evasive eyes: "Okay, okay... Actually, a woman came here just now. She saw me and hit me without saying a word. That woman was too much! She came up and took out such a big double gun to shoot me, but fortunately, I was quick to react and dodged it! Then..."

"Tell the important point!"

"Oh fine."

Xier glanced at Bayonetta secretly and found that there was no reaction on her face before continuing: "Then I got a little bit carried away and lost control for a moment."

"Hey"

Xier stuck out her little pink tongue and tried to get away with it.

"Hey, what the hell..."

Bayonetta tapped Seele's head gently to interrupt her spell.

"Well, that's the truth..."

Xier said aggrievedly, but she waited for a long time but did not receive the expected inquiry. She had already thought about how to answer Bayonetta's questions next.

"Eh? Aren't you going to ask more?" Seele asked curiously. Did Bayonetta believe it? There were still so many details that she hadn't told him...

"What are you asking? Are you asking how my desk and chair were smashed into powder?"

Bayonetta rolled her eyes at Seele, then turned to look at the place where the woman had disappeared before.

"Hmm... the smell of the devil..."

She snorted slightly and accurately identified the magical scent.

"Eh, a demon?"

Xier thought back to the female figure that the woman had summoned at the end. It really looked like a demon...

"But it feels familiar... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Bayonetta's eyebrows raised slightly. She always felt that there was a figure with this aura in her memory, but she couldn't remember it at all... She closed her eyes slightly and searched for relevant information in her memory.

"Bayonetta?"

Seele rarely called Bayonetta by her name, she usually called her the boss lady. The reason why she called her that was because for a moment, she felt that Bayonetta's figure seemed to have transcended time, and at that moment, she felt full of vicissitudes, and that Bayonetta was so strange.

Bayonetta usually doesn't have this feeling. Although Seele always says that Bayonetta is a 500-year-old dumpling (Bayonetta jumped out of a coffin), in fact, judging from her feelings, Bayonetta is just a young and beautiful girl, not an old woman at all. But the Bayonetta just now gave Seele a feeling that she had truly spanned 500 years of history.

"what happened?"

Bayonetta answered softly, and the vicissitudes of life on her body disappeared in an instant.

"It's okay, you just seem a little... ummm... dazed?"

Xier shook her head and thought for a long time before coming up with this adjective.

"Fuck you...is that a word to describe me?"

Bayonetta patted Seele, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey..."

Xier rubbed her hair embarrassedly. She couldn't say that Bayonetta just now was strange.

"But have you thought of anything?"

"I guess so……"

Seele saw Bayonetta standing up, which was rare, and then Bayonetta said, "This is the power of the devil. The one who fought with you just now was also a witch."

"Hey, witch? Aren't you the only witch left?"

Xier was stunned for a moment. She had heard Bayonetta talk about the history of witches before.

According to Bayonetta, there are two mutually exclusive races in this world, Luminous Sage and Shadow Witch. After the war between these two races 500 years ago, Luminous Sage was defeated and almost all of them died. However, with the help of the remaining sages, humans started to hunt witches, resulting in only Bayonetta being the only one left in the witch clan. But at this time, Bayonetta said that this was left by a witch, which is really strange.

"Yeah, I'm the only one left..."

Bayonetta's eyes gradually became deeper, but soon returned to normal.

"Okay, that's it."

"Hey, is this the end? You won't ask again? That's a witch, eh?"

Seele was a little surprised. Bayonetta didn't ask any more questions? This was a witch who appeared again after 500 years. Bayonetta didn't care?

"What are you asking? If I ask you about her summoning words and contractor, would you know?" Bayonetta said helplessly.

"Ah, indeed..." Xier was suddenly speechless. She really didn't know this.

"Hey wait!!"

But just as Bayonetta was about to turn around and leave, Seele suddenly remembered the obscure words that the woman had said before the final blow when they were fighting.

"Pdee, barm..."

Xier subconsciously repeated what the woman said, but before she could finish half of her sentence, Bayonetta suddenly rushed in front of her, covered her mouth with her hand, and said sternly: "Don't say any more!"

"Uh~uh~"

Seele, whose mouth was suddenly covered, looked at the anxious Bayonetta in a daze for a moment and then nodded slightly, indicating that she would not speak anymore. Only then did Bayonetta let go of her hand.

"What's wrong? Could this be..."

Seele roughly guessed why Bayonetta reacted so violently. When she saw Bayonetta fighting before, sometimes when facing a powerful angel, she would recite an obscure spell, and then a demon bound by Bayonetta would appear in reality and devour Bayonetta's enemy.

Xier hadn't reacted just now, but now she remembered that this was very likely the devil's summons.

"Yes, this is the devil's summoning language. If you pronounce it correctly and completely, even if you are not the devil's contractor, the corresponding devil will be summoned. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to summon devils. And if you are not the contractor, the devil will go berserk."

Bayonetta nodded, acknowledging Seele's guess. If Seele really finished reading that passage, it would be very likely that she would summon a demon now. After all, Seele's magic power was quite sufficient.

"By the way, Xiao Xier, I'm going on a long trip in a couple of days, so I'll leave the tavern to you."

After taking a few steps, Bayonetta suddenly turned around and said, "Then I'll leave it to you for the next few days, Manager Xier~"

"what?"

Before Seele could react, Bayonetta had already walked out of the tavern, leaving Seele alone, disheveled in the wind.

Chapter 12: Sister Xiaolan?

"Hey! What do you mean by leave it to me for a few days?... Oh, people?"

Seeing Bayonetta walk out of the tavern, Seele, who was shocked by Bayonetta's words, finally reacted and chased after her. However, when Seele opened the door, she found that Bayonetta had disappeared.

"Ah this..."

Seele felt her head buzzing. If an ordinary person was promoted to store manager, he might be happy, but it was not the case for Seele, because there were only Seele and Bayonetta in the whole store. That was to say, once Bayonetta left, Seele would have to do all the work!!!

"Hey! I'm so angry!!!"

The boss with her puffy face was like a pufferfish. She stomped on the ground a few times with her small leather shoes to vent her dissatisfaction. Although she was angry, the matter was done. Seele didn't know where Bayonetta had gone. In order to have a comfortable place to live in this world, Seele had to accept this reality.
