Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

After Alyssa struggled for a while, she had almost given up, but she felt that Elena could embark on this path.

"But this will probably delay my promotion in the future..."

"No way!" Seeing the embarrassed look on this beautiful apprentice's face, Alyssa cheered up, puffed up her petite breasts and encouraged:

"Anyway, your wind magic level is not high, so your talent won't have much impact - I am a high-level witch, and I have planned to use it before!"

The sooner the magic power is refined, the better. A high-level witch who rebuilds her magic power will be unable to integrate the hybrid magic power and will directly fall down the rank.As for the rulers who have crossed the threshold of the Great Witch, they simply cannot use this kind of thing.

"Let me think about it again—"

Facing the master's earnest gaze, Elena was a little unable to resist, so she could only continue to delay vaguely.

She knew that Alyssa was also doing it for her own good. The path of 'tree shepherd' is the inheritance of their family.In Alyssa's heart, she is the most powerful.

However, Elena also had other unspeakable reasons.

She played with the ice blue bracelet on her hand and recalled her previous memories.

……

"Oh?! What? Elena, are you leaving with Alice-sama?"

As soon as they said it was their decision, Ka Lei and Lini were shocked.Ka Lei still had some sense, while Lini simply looked pale and desperate.

"How should I put it? It's a decision based on a combination of various circumstances. I can't bear to part with you either."

Elena tried to comfort the excited Kalei, who almost touched her face and kept pulling her.

"Is there anything I have to leave?! There are obviously many places in the Seven Abyss that I haven't been to yet, and there is no shortage of resources."

"No! You don't want this kind of thing! If Elena has to leave, it will take at least ten more years!"

Lini seemed to react suddenly, rolling on the sofa and making noises like a child who had lost his favorite toy.

Volume 2: A Farce: [-]. Eliza’s Melancholy

Before trying to find a way to appease Lini and Ka Lei, Elena also discussed with her master Alisa.

That day, after Elena returned to the island where Alisa lived, she was left to have dinner. Alisa was unusually quiet, speaking and acting softly like a lady all day long.

This surprised Elena, but she was also worried, and the spoon made circles in the bowl.I was a little distracted and didn't take the initiative to ask.

"Ahem, Alyssa." The maid Senior looked at Alice who was hesitant to speak and couldn't find a chance to speak, and decided to give her a push:

"Always speak up and leave no regrets."

"Well..." Alyssa pursed her lips, looking embarrassed.Senior could not help but sigh.

"They are all people who become other people's masters. Don't be like a child. Tell her quickly."

"Well...Elena!"

"Ah? What?!" Elena was startled by her master's slightly louder voice. She couldn't help but sit up straight and stopped making small movements on her hands.

"Ha." Alyssa laughed for a moment, but soon became a little sad again:

"That means-"

Under the encouraging eyes of the maid, Alyssa finally said hesitantly:

"Before, when I first met you, I said that I might have to go back soon..."

As soon as these words came out, Elena probably guessed what she was going to say.But she still waited honestly for her to finish.

"Although I didn't expect that several years have passed, I finally achieved my goal... I think it's time to go home and take a look."

Alyssa's eyes flickered a little. She lowered her head and scratched her hair, but she mustered up the courage to look at Elena:

"Do you want to go back with me? Go to my family together..."

"The place where Master was born, let's take a closer look."

In Alyssa's eyes, she herself felt that such a proposal had little chance of success, and was even a bit excessive.

Because all the friends Elena knows are in this secret realm, this is also the place she is most familiar with.And following Alyssa back to the family seems to bring no benefits except trouble.

"Of course, I know you are strong enough to survive on your own now, so there is no need to follow me..."

"I feel like I'm getting closer to Master."

Although I feel that even if Elena refuses, it is very normal.However, Alyssa was still very reluctant to give up.

"That's why I didn't want to accept a disciple in the first place..."

"I was very disappointed when I was rejected."

Alyssa murmured to herself in a low voice, and even secretly complained about Senior, who had made this happen.She dislikes separation very much.

In the past few years, it seems that staying with Elena has not reached this level.

Because she frequently went to the depths of the secret realm, Elena spent most of her early days studying with Senior, and later she mainly studied by herself. It was common to see each other every one or two months.

However, every time when I go home, I feel very excited when I think that there is a smart and lovely disciple waiting for me, as if my fatigue is blown away!

"The look of anticipation on Elena's face at that time was so cute!"

"Is there such a thing... Could it be something made up in your head?"

Alyssa kept thinking about it, completely trapped in her own world.Elena complained silently on the side.

"Yes, the lady likes Elena." Senior suddenly interrupted with a smile. She thought for a while and said:

"When Elena said she wanted to move out, the lady was lost for a long time. She didn't think about food or tea all day long, thinking about getting her apprentice back."

"No! There is no such thing! Absolutely!"

Alyssa suddenly woke up from her own world. She blushed and waved her hands hurriedly.

But such shame cannot make her recover.Alyssa's mood suddenly became gloomy like the sky during the rainy season.

"If we leave like this, I don't know when we can see each other again. After all, we are so far apart..."

"It's not impossible if we go together."

"Oh - think about what will happen after we go back, and Elena is no longer here... huh?"

It took Alyssa a moment to react. She became excited and rushed in front of Elena, with a blush appearing on her face.

"What did you say?!"

"That said, it's not impossible to go together."

The blonde girl was stunned for a long time, then she hugged Elena and shouted:

"What did you say?"

"Let me go with Master!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Tears oozed from the corners of Alyssa's eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, she came up to Elena and kissed her hard on the face:

"As expected of my proud apprentice! How lovable!"

"what--"

Ignoring Elena, whose face was a little red, Alyssa was so happy that she almost jumped:

"You made your promise! You can never go back on it!"

"Well, I won't regret it! How could I lie to Master!"

Elena couldn't help but smile a little.

The blonde girl is petite and has a childish face. She looks very excited.The girl with long black hair had a mature figure and sat quietly looking at each other with a doting smile on her face.

Senior, who was watching on the side, shook his head and thought with a headache: It seems like he doesn’t even know who the master is.

……

Alyssa became very happy, but it was difficult for Ka Lei and Lini.

Obviously, they all didn't understand Elena's decision, and they kept pestering her to stay.

"Don't leave... Elena, how can I live without you~"

Compared with the more restrained Kalei, Lini was almost quick to act cute and roll around, pestering Elena every day these days.

"How about I go with Elena?"

"Lini, don't do this."

It was Ka Lei who spoke. She patted the big loli girl on the shoulder and sighed:

"Your master should be here soon... Is it really good to leave at this time?"

Lini's master looks like an old woman, which is a sign that the witch's lifespan has come to an end.Most witches will maintain their appearance until there is no other way.

"I don't want to be separated from Elena..."

Although Lini was still depressed, she did not mention leaving with Elena again.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Can't you just stay here?"

Finally, Ka Lei couldn't help but ask.Although she tried her best to control it, she was no less entangled than Lini.

In her heart, Elena has always been special.She never seemed to think that one day she would be far away.

"I also have various reasons..."

The biggest reason was that she learned from Hela that she had been in contact with the Blue Witch of the Dark Garden and knew part of Elena's life experience.

Although we didn't meet her that time, as long as Undine is still nearby, it's entirely possible that she will.I have absolutely no idea what will happen then.

"Maybe I'll see you again soon..."

Elena could only feel so comforted.

Volume 3 A Farce: [-]. Talk and Bracelet

Not long after returning to the secret realm, Elena received an invitation from Lernina.

After she saw the gray-haired witch, she was taken all the way to the mansion on the central island. After saying hello to Kare, she was teleported to a high tower.

The tower is built on the sea of ​​clouds, very close to the night sky.Elena intuitively felt that they had arrived in another dimension.

"This is the 'starry sky' of my family's ancestor. In this place, no one will disturb our conversation."

After a few simple explanations, Lernina took Elena to visit the periphery of the star observation tower, and then took her to a room.

"How much do you want to drink?"

"no need……"

The two of them sat on either side of the coffee table. Lernina asked with a soft smile on her lips. She stared at Elena again and again:

"You have become an outstanding beauty! Time flies so fast. You were only as tall as me at that time——"

Lernina gestured, but Elena was obviously much taller than her now.

"The same goes for Ka Lei. I almost look up to look at her... It's really amazing to see young people grow up. What was it like when I was a child? I can't remember it."

"You are still very young."

Lernina is actually quite old, but she is very young among witches of the same level, especially compared to long-lived races.

The two of them chatted for a while, which made some of Elena's restraints and worries dissipate a lot.

"Then, you must have a lot of questions. You can feel free to ask me. Although I can't guarantee to answer them all."

Lernina looked like she was getting down to business, but she still had a gentle smile on her face, which made her look very friendly.

In this case, Elena will not let go of this opportunity. She does have a lot of questions:

"Thank you, Lady Lernina... Well, first of all, this necklace."

Elena took out the transparent crystal necklace that she had become accustomed to wearing over the past few years.She was a little embarrassed that her own body temperature was still on it, so she placed it on the table.

Lernina did not reach out to pick it up, she just looked at Elena and explained:

"You should have guessed. This is the legendary item 'Present Mist', which was left by the Witch of Destiny. Its main function is to block all divination abilities."

"The upper limit of shielding is for those who are not majoring in destiny-related legends. Of course, in the hands of the ancestors, it can shield all divination, and the legendary gods cannot predict the owner of this necklace."

Elena was thoughtful and asked:
