"I'm not praising you! You perverted stalker!"

"I'm not a perverted stalker, I'm just loving Anjie!"

Angelica was forced to spend a few more minutes calming down. To be honest, Coppelia was very perseverant. Angelica couldn't remember how long she had known Coppelia, and she had always maintained an enthusiasm that was almost that of a fanatic.

"Based on my understanding of Anjie, she must not have even a copper coin left in her pocket right now. I am here to help Anjie solve her problems."

"Although I feel very unhappy, I really don't have much money left. Did you bring aid on purpose?"

"That's right! I brought a great plan! This town seems to be very rich, so first I will summon a dragon and let it burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. Then Anjie will appear as a hero and defeat the dragon..."

"Stop, stop. You are indeed the one who came up with this idea. I am hopeless for having any hope for you for even a moment."

"The dragons I created are absolutely guaranteed to do evil."

"Why do you think I'm questioning the quality of the dragon? Your plan is so troublesome, stop it now."

"Woooo..."

Abigail was terrified by the conversation between the witches.

Just now, didn't Miss Coppelia talk about the plan to almost destroy Devin Town with a smile on her face? Judging from her tone, she didn't seem to be joking, and Miss Coppelia seemed to be able to do it.

Abigail finally understood Angelica's previous evaluation: the so-called extraordinary people all have some abnormality in their brains.

"You are no longer useful without money. Go back when you've had enough of the trouble."

"That's too much! Anjie made me sound like a mobile wallet!"

“In fact, you haven’t even fulfilled your duties as a mobile wallet, right?”

Angelica angrily ordered her to leave. Since Coppelia didn't have much money, Angelica didn't bother to continue arguing with her. This idea seemed very snobbish, but Angelica really thought so. She never refused the temptation of free sex.

Abigail thought Coppelia would keep pestering her, but Coppelia just symbolically wiped away her nonexistent tears, and when she saw that she could not win Angelica's sympathy at all, she stood up in boredom. As Angelica said, Coppelia could find Angelica at any time, and the witch had plenty of time, so Coppelia would not completely anger Angelica.

Before leaving, Coppelia and Abigail looked at each other, and then the corners of Coppelia's mouth rose slightly.

"Angie's disciple."

"My name is Abigail..."

"It doesn't matter what you call her. Do you... know Anjie's measurements?"

"Why, why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?"

"You really don't know anything! Let me tell you, Anjie's measurements are 96, 60, 92!"

"Hey! Don't tell other people's secrets everywhere!"

Angelica hurriedly tried to stop Coppelia from suddenly falling ill.

"so big!"

"Isn't your focus wrong, Abigail?"

"By the way, mine are 96.1, 60.1, and 92.1."

"Don't take advantage of the sovereignty of the body you created to deliberately adjust the data. You didn't have a better figure than me before!"

"I also know many of Anjie's secrets, for example, Anjie used to be the elder sister of Santa Barbara Girls' Academy!"

St. Barbara Girls' Academy, a famous academy for ladies on the mainland that even Abigail, who was born in the countryside, had heard of. It was a school famous for cultivating the temperament, conversation, and etiquette of girls. The entrance qualification examination was extremely strict and was open not only to aristocrats, but also to talented civilian girls.

It was the first time that Abigail knew that Angelica was an outstanding graduate of the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy... It was said that the most elegant lady in each third-year class would be given the honorific title of "Sister" and become an idol in the academy, the embodiment of the perfect woman that every girl longed for. Unfortunately, Angelica now seemed to have completely forgotten the ladylike etiquette she learned in the academy.

But why did Miss Coppelia suddenly bring up these irrelevant things?

"Miss Coppelia is asserting her sovereignty?"

"Yeah, I'm glad you understand."

Coppelia was satisfied - your understanding of Anjie is definitely not as good as mine, this is exactly what Coppelia wanted to express.

Before Angelica with red eyes swung the broom at her head, Coppelia used space warping to jump away. She also mastered space warping, so Angelica had the resigned consciousness that Coppelia would entangle her no matter where she escaped.

"That girl... I will never let her go next time we meet!"

Angelica gnashed her teeth in anger. Living too long would inevitably accumulate tons of black history. People on the mainland generally did not believe that Angelica, who graduated from the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, was the "black" witch herself. Unfortunately, Coppelia happened to be one of the insiders.

"Abigail."

Angelica smiled kindly, and only at this moment did Angelica seem to have become the ideal woman that every girl in the former Santa Barbara Girls' Academy aspired to be.

But Abigail didn't feel any warmth at all.

"A little knowledge: if a person's brain is subjected to a strong shock, they will lose a small part of their recent memory."

These words were Abigail's last memory of the day. Of course, when she woke up tomorrow morning, she would forget even this memory.

33 Fate leads us to meet

The next day, outside the Adventurer's Guild in Devin Town.

"I feel dizzy... Sister Angelica, did I forget something?"

"Nothing. Abigail went to bed early last night. Maybe the bed in the hotel is of poor quality. Let's move to another place tonight."

Angelica smiled and settled Abigail's doubts, and the two of them entered the Adventurer's Guild together. There were not many people inside the guild, and Angelica avoided the counter with ease and came to the notice board alone.

The receptionist at the Adventurer's Association will recommend commissions to visiting adventurers based on the conditions, but the receptionist will often give priority to commissions that have not been handled for a long time, as well as commissions from frequent visitors. Adventurers are highly mobile and cannot master the conditions of each town. It would be a waste of time to go to the notice board and carefully select.

However, the common sense of an adventurer could not faze Miss Witch.

Angelica walked briskly to the notice board and raised her right hand towards it.

"Complete (Rubedo) Sequence 5: Destiny Guidance!"

The witch finished her chant, and a commission fell from the corner of the notice board. Angelica picked it up and nodded with satisfaction.

“It’ll make us a lot of money.”

"why?"

"Fate can calculate the most preferred options for the future. Fate tells me that accepting this commission will yield the highest returns."

Fate Guidance is a magic that predicts the possibility of the future. It can only be used when there are several clear options to calculate which future is most beneficial to the user. The disadvantage is that it can only predict the result, but cannot tell the detailed process.

Angelica had tried to use this magic to make money more than once before, but the results were not satisfactory because it often led to inexplicable processes, such as becoming a concubine for a noble, or having an unforgettable night with a wealthy businessman. There is no doubt that a lot of money can be made, but Angelica had to give up.

Angelica herself did not think that fate was a trick. She thought it would be strange if a beautiful girl like her was not favored by nobles or wealthy businessmen. As a beautiful girl, there was nothing she could do. She could make money easily by abandoning her moral integrity, which added a lot of uncertainty to predicting the future.

"But this commission seems to have floated out from under another commission..."

Abigail whispered that there was plenty of space on the notice board, and the Adventurer's Guild should have someone to clean it up, but the commission statement that Angelica was determined to accept was deliberately pushed down low, which inevitably made people doubt the danger of the commission.

Angelica simply opened the commission and glanced at its contents first.

"The commission is... a patient who wants someone to chat with him. It's a pretty easy commission."

Angelica thought it was no big deal. If it was a highly contagious disease, she could just let Abigail stay away. Angelica was immune to malignant diseases anyway.

Angelica came to the counter to go through the commission procedure. The counter attendant had a professional smile on his face. However, after the counter attendant found out that Angelica had accepted this commission, the professional smile gradually turned into a very embarrassed expression.

"Adventurer, if you don't mind, I can recommend other commissions to you."

"No need, I will accept this commission."

Angelica's magic never goes wrong, and the commissions she chooses will definitely yield the highest returns.

But even though Angelica insisted on doing so, the counter attendant was still hesitant. An adventurer sitting next to Angelica glanced at the commission Angelica had accepted and instantly understood the whole situation.

"Hmm...are you an adventurer who has come from afar? Don't embarrass the lady at the counter. She actually wants your own good."

The adventurer pointed to the lower right corner of the commission statement. Generally speaking, the client would sign his name in the lower right corner.

"The person who issued this commission has a very bad reputation in Devin Town."

"Has he ever done anything bad?"

The signature on the power of attorney statement was a man named Stewart, a very common name. The handwriting and writing were proper, and it was obvious that he had received higher education.

"Stuart is a well-known miser in Devin Town. He never gives a penny. The lady at the counter thinks that you are very likely not to receive any compensation. According to the process of issuing commissions, his commission is legal, so it must be posted on the notice board."

This would explain why Stewart's commission was placed below all other commissions.

"It doesn't matter. The commission is not a difficult job, and I won't lose too much."

"Ha... Then I can only wish you good luck."

The adventurer shrugged. He and Angelica were not related at all, and there was nothing he could do if Angelica still insisted on her own way after being reminded to this extent.

The receptionist had indeed made her reluctance based on the reasons given by the adventurer. Seeing that Angelica was still stubborn, she had no choice but to complete the formalities for Angelica according to the process and informed Angelica of the address of her client.

Angelica and Abigail found Mr. Stewart's residence: a relatively remote mansion. Although the Adventurer's Guild said that Stewart had a bad reputation, when they wanted to build the mansion, they gave priority to avoiding the downtown area rather than other people moving out later.

Angelica went forward and knocked on the door. A soft "Please wait a moment" came from inside the house. Not long after, a young maid with twin ponytails opened the front door.

"Hello! This is the Stewart residence. May I ask who you are?"

"I accepted the commission."

Angelica raised the commission statement in her hand. The maid thought for a while before finally remembering the origin of this commission.

"So this is the commission the master issued half a year ago."

"Half a year? So long?"

"Well, the nearby adventurers are unwilling to accept the master's commission."

The maid's expression was a little gloomy, but she quickly cheered up and welcomed Angelica and Abigail.

The maid's name is Chloe, and she is the only maid in the Stewart family. To be exact, there are only the male owner Stewart and the maid Chloe in the huge mansion. Judging from the fact that Chloe cleans the room spotlessly by herself, she is undoubtedly a very capable maid.

Although some people think of maids as all-rounders, in fact, maids have a clear division of labor. Maids responsible for cleaning will not be responsible for cooking, and vice versa. Most experienced maids are middle-aged women, and there are very few young, beautiful and capable maids.

Chloe invited Angelica and Abigail to wait in the living room first, and she prepared cakes and tea for them. Stewart was resting in the bedroom on the second floor, and Chloe had to go and inform him first.

【Witch TIPS】

There is a sisterhood system at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, where senior and junior students become sworn sisters and take care of each other in the academy.

The witch was no exception. She once had a younger sister who chased the witch every day and called her sister.

34 The Witch of the North

"Okay, both of you please follow me."

After a while, Chloe invited the two to go upstairs. Because there were not many people at home, the corridor on the second floor was a little empty. It was worth noting that there was no seal outside the door of the room. Usually, if the space at home is too large, the unnecessary rooms will be sealed up, and it is too troublesome to clean them every day. But Chloe is a diligent maid and seems to insist on cleaning every day.

"Abigail, I have an idea."

"Eh?"

Angelica conspired with Abigail in a mysterious whisper.

"Look, their house is so big but there are only two people. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't do something?"

"Um... Sister Angelica, I think committing a crime is bad..."

"Crime? I mean they have so many vacant houses. We might as well talk to them about solving the accommodation problem in the town."

“I-I see… As expected of Sister Angelica…”

"You're imagining me badly again?"

Angelica grabbed Abigail's cheeks. She always felt that since some time ago, Abigail always saw her as extremely shameless. Angelica's girlish heart was hurt.

...Of course, if the family's rich treasures accidentally ended up in Angelica's pocket, there would be nothing that could be done about it, but considering that Chloe was a very capable maid, it was possible that she could remember every object in the house, so it was better for her to be a little more obedient.

Angelica followed Chloe to the largest bedroom on the second floor of the mansion. It had good lighting, magic props to purify the air, an aquarium in the corner, and countless trophies hanging on the walls, including animal skins and specimens of stag heads.

"Specimen of an alien-horned deer? It's a very valuable collectible in the market. I didn't expect to see it here."

"——I hunted it myself."

The man on the bed boasted with a smug look that was hard to conceal after hearing Angelica's comment.

The man was none other than Mr. Stewart, the owner of the mansion. The ends of his hair had begun to turn white, and every wrinkle on his forehead was weathered. Hearing Stewart's self-narration, Angelica seemed a little surprised.

"You in person? The heterohorned deer is an animal that lives in the extremely cold northern region. Its horns are extremely strong and it is not afraid of predators. Hunting heterohorned deer is not an easy task."
