Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"You seem to know something about my habits? I don't remember seeing you anywhere before."

"Well... it's all thanks to Lord Merlin. Lord Merlin and I have participated in more than one magic academic seminar together. Other magicians and I were very curious about who Lord Merlin's master was. Later we learned that he was taught by the "Black" Witch."

Once, Merlin got drunk and let it slip that if he saw Angelica but she denied it, he could choose to compliment Angelica's appearance. Although it was rare, Angelica would occasionally be modest when praised for her magical attainments, but Angelica would never refuse compliments on her beauty.

In a sense, this is an Angelica-style anti-counterfeiting mark.

"That stupid disciple... So you specially invited me to discuss the mysteries and true teachings of magic?"

"If the witch doesn't mind sharing knowledge, I am willing to listen. The most urgent thing is that His Majesty the King wishes to meet the "Black" witch."

King Peter said loudly.

"The dispute between our Radeboyle Kingdom and the separatist Grosenhain Kingdom has lasted for three hundred years. I think it is time to end the dispute in this generation and drive those shameless stubborn elements out of our homeland. For this purpose, the Radeboyle Kingdom has gathered its best warriors and magicians, but I think it is far from enough. We need a decisive magic weapon to win."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"I plan to hire the Black Witch to serve the Kingdom of Radeboyle until the war is over."

"Thank you for your kindness, His Majesty, but please allow me to refuse."

“…I haven’t mentioned the reward yet.”

"My principle is not to be loyal to any country, even if it is a temporary employment relationship."

Angelica flatly rejected King Peter's invitation. She did not intend to take sides in the conflict between the Kingdom of Radebeul and the Kingdom of Grosenhain.

If King Peter knew that Angelica usually lived in seclusion in the Rhine Federation, he would not ask such a meaningless question. The Rhine Federation is one of the most powerful countries on human territory, and its structure is similar to the holy, Roman, and imperial countries in the world history where Angelica lived before.

Even the Emperor of the Rhine Federation couldn't pull the witch out of the Misty Mountains, let alone other countries.

"Your Majesty. Witches usually do not participate in government affairs. Among the several extraordinary people, only "Purple" publicly serves a country. Witch-sama, can we both take a step back? Can you develop a magic formula for large-scale attacks for us?"

Rosalin guessed that King Peter's plan to win over Angelica would not succeed. Thinking from another angle, since it was impossible to hire a witch, purchasing magic spells directly from the witch was also an idea. In essence, King Peter did not hire the witch to serve him for a long time, but just hoped that the witch could pour her magical power onto the battlefield.

Researching inherent magic takes a lot of time. Rosaline's request was nothing more than for Angelica to engrave the Sequence 1 magic she had mastered and use it as a disposable prop.

Angelica weighed the matter for a moment and decided that this was an appropriate deal.

"I can consider it. First of all, I have my own purpose for visiting the Kingdom of Radeboyle. I have to make sure that what I want to do will not be interfered with before I can spare the energy to assist you."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I came to the Kingdom of Radeboyle to investigate the descendants of the hero of the art."

"The hero of the art... the founder of the original Radeboyle Kingdom."

It is impossible for people who were born in the Kingdom of Radeboyle not to know the name of the "Art" Brave Man. The Kingdom of Radeboyle was originally founded by the "Art" Brave Man.

However, the current King Peter has nothing to do with the Hero of "Art". He is a descendant of Manuel, the Radboy hero who reunited the kingdom three hundred years ago.

"Your Excellency the Witch may not know that the dynasty founded by the Hero of the Art was overthrown hundreds of years ago. Some of their bloodline remained in the kingdom as nobles, but if I remember correctly, they should have died out in the turmoil four hundred years ago."

"I need detailed information to investigate."

"No problem. I allow you to use all the documents in the library."

King Peter generously approved Angelica's privilege. It was a good gain to get the magic formula of the "Black" witch as a trump card. Moreover, the witch did not work for any country, which also meant that the witch would not assist the Kingdom of Grosenhain, which reduced King Peter's worries.

Although King Peter is the ruler of a country, it is impossible for him to recite the history of the famous families in the country's history. The library contains texts that the Kingdom of Radbeul tried its best to preserve during the war. Angelica will probably gain something from it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, all my expenses in the kingdom..."

“It’s free.”

The glowing expression in the witch's eyes made King Peter regret having agreed so easily.

Let's send a spy to follow up tomorrow.

50 The Oldest Witch

The next day, in the palace of the Kingdom of Radebeul, King Peter and Rosalin were dumbfounded by the intelligence sent by the spies.

The spy said that not only did Angelica not go to the library to do research, but she dragged Abigail to the capital to eat and drink. They also went to the horse racing track and hot springs, and were now on their way to a massage parlor.

"We're here. Abigail."

Angelica was full of energy, with no signs of laziness after a whole day of fun, especially when they arrived outside the massage parlor, the smile on Angelica's face always made Abigail feel frightened.

"Sister Angelica seems very happy."

"Of course. I've asked around. There are many cute girls at the massage parlors in the capital of Radeboyle."

"Hmm...are all the masseuses in massage parlors female?"

Angelica whispered something mysteriously into Abigail's ear, and Abigail's face instantly turned red.

“Ehhhh——Is it, is it that kind of shop?! A massage parlor, so that’s what it is…”

"No, they are usually disguised as other shops. Some are bathhouses, some are pubs. Actually, I prefer pubs. Pubs in big cities have cute bunny girls. Let me tell you a little secret, Abigail. The bunny girl is a costume I invented."

Angelica once thought about being a plagiarist, but due to her lack of education, she could only reproduce some small props that she had used in her previous life.

"Why is Sister Angelica so skilled?"

"Every girl dreams of having a grand harem, right?"

"No!"

Angelica was well aware of which shops she could find cute girls in. Some people might think that there were no vulgar habits in big cities, but on the contrary, many nobles were very fond of these places besides keeping lovers, and some even became the financiers behind some shops.

If Angelica were to give her advice, she would recommend going to a big city. Although the price is expensive, it is definitely worth it. Girls in big cities are cuter, less likely to get sick, and there is a chance of encountering a rare species: succubus.

Few foreign races live in human territory for a long time. Even if there are, most of them are half-elves with half human blood, such as Slude in the Kingdom of Pilsen. Succubi are one of the few foreign races that can move in human territory. They all look like beautiful girls and will keep their beautiful appearance until they die. They usually feed on essence. Most succubi will not take the lives of others, so they are considered a less harmful race.

Unfortunately, however, most of the succubi nowadays appear in the territory of the orcs. As for the reason... we will not go into details for now.

"Did Sister Angelica often go to these stores?"

"Not so much often as I've worked before."

"!?"

"Didn't I say that I invented the bunny girl? The waitress uniform I used to wear at the tavern was too ugly, so I designed a new one."

"Could it be that Sister Angelica has already...?"

"No, my job is just chatting with others. I didn't try it because I was short of money. I just wanted to work part-time to collect costumes like the heroines in the RPGs I played before. In the end, I had to design the costumes myself."

Angelica kept muttering about how the heroine working in a tavern and getting a bunny girl costume was a classic plot. Abigail knew that Angelica often said things that were completely incomprehensible, but the point was that Angelica went to work just out of interest.

Abigail breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great. Sister Angelica is still perfect..."

"Ah, if that's what you're talking about, then it shouldn't be."

"……………………?"

"Do you know unicorns? Abigail, according to legend, only pure girls are willing to ride on their backs if they touch them. I think they are clearly vulgar creatures that are treated differently. I don't know why everyone thinks unicorns are sacred animals. The nature of the legend is true. I tried to ride a unicorn but it kicked me... Abigail, don't lift my skirt!"

"let me see!"

"We're on the street! Calm down!"

Abigail was so excited that she wanted to lift up Angelica's magic robe to confirm its authenticity.

I can't accept it! Sister Angelica has actually...

“Who is it? Who did it? Sister Angelica, please answer me seriously!”

Abigail pushed Angelica into a corner aggressively. Angelica seemed to vaguely see a terrifying aura like red flames from Abigail.

"Well, what will Abigail do when she finds out?"

"Of course, burn the bastard who hurt Sister Angelica to death!"

"Wow, how cruel. Murderous threats really don't suit Abigail. You can't do it, Abigail, because I'm the one who started it."

"Eh?"

Abigail's burning anger was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.

"My physique changed irreversibly when I became a witch. Contrary to common sense, I am more immune to diseases that are more severe. On the contrary, I am not immune to minor colds that I can recover from. One day after becoming a witch, I realized that I was missing something."

"This, this is it..."

"So unicorns are clearly vile creatures, right? I didn't do anything, but it still kicked me. Although my life has been far from clean since then."

After finding out that something important was missing, Angelica simply began to let herself go. With Angelica's rich experience working in a tavern, for a while, everyone from the North to the South Islands knew the notoriety of the beautiful girl hunter. Later, Angelica gradually gave up, so that the name of the "black" witch would not be tainted with unnecessary bad reputation.

Besides, Angelica thought about it carefully. She has lived for thousands of years. If she continues in that state, she might even have mental problems.

"Don't worry, Abigail, just go for a normal massage, they won't force normal customers."

"…So Sister Angelica is still holding on to that ambition?"

A girl’s dream is to have a harem, which seems weird no matter how you think about it.

"I gave up a long time ago."

Angelica smiled.

Angelica is confident in her charm, but the only person who will not age is Angelica. No matter how beautiful her wishes are, in the end, the only person left will be Angelica.

After all, Angelica's life will never end. No matter how grand the harem is, it will become Angelica witnessing one person after another leave, the same goes for dwarves and elves. Since you will always return to being alone in the end, it is better to give up from the beginning.

【Witch TIPS】

The team of adventurers where the witch had buried the time capsule was a huge group, with nearly fifty people at its peak, and they came from all corners of the world.

51 Manuel the Great

King Peter originally thought that Angelica was merely seeking pleasure for the moment and did not take it seriously. No matter how much the two girls acted in the capital, it would not cause a bad impact on the national treasury.

However, Angelica did not go to the library for a whole week. She wandered around various entertainment venues every day. She flirted with almost every girl in the massage parlor. The tavern owner knew the witch's face. If Rosalin had not used her reputation to guarantee that Angelica was the real "black" witch, King Peter would have suspected that Angelica was a liar.

King Peter, who could no longer bear it, wrote a letter to Angelica. The letter contained long and eloquent words. Angelica couldn't sleep after receiving the letter. After repeatedly pondering it, she finally figured out King Peter's euphemistic expression from the gaps between the words.

——That’s enough.

"Hmph... You are such a stingy king. I haven't had enough fun yet."

In the library of the royal capital of Radbeul, the witch complained to King Peter without hesitation that the scholars who were lucky enough to enter the library avoided the witch who was committing treason.

"I think we should get down to business..."

The good girl Abigail had been feeling uneasy for a few days. Angelica said that the war in the Kingdom of Radboyle was imminent, but her actions were to do nothing and indulge in pleasure all day long.

"Abigail, don't be soft-hearted when you have the chance to kill someone."

"I, I just feel a little guilty about the fact that we are enjoying ourselves without doing anything..."

"To be able to enjoy life without doing anything is something many people dream of and pursue their whole lives. As for my personal attitude... I don't mind being kept."

Angelica has never lacked suitors. Besides, Angelica bets on horses just for fun. She never gets addicted and doesn't spend much money at all. Angelica found that in an era without pay-to-win mobile games, her expenses at home didn't seem to be very high.

There are many people who are capable of supporting Angelica, but unfortunately, including Coppelia, everyone is more or less greedy for Angelica's body. Angelica has no choice but to live alone.

After complaining, Angelica still thought about the main task of finding the descendants of the brave "art", but the contents of the library seriously dampened Angelica's few enthusiasms.

"Most of them are biographies and research that record the great achievements of Emperor Manuel the Great."

Angelica, who was extremely bored, casually pulled a book from the bookshelf. As expected, the cover was a portrait of the handsome Manuel.

"People here seem to worship Emperor Manuel the Great."

Abigail pulled out a Radboy currency from her pocket. The portrait engraved on it was not that of the first generation "Art" hero, but that of Emperor Manuel the Great.

Outside the window of the library is the open-air square of the royal capital, in the center of which stands a huge stone statue of Manuel. Manuel is like a knight, with his hands on the hilt of his sword, gazing at the old capital in the distance with a righteous look on his face.

Angelica's comment on this was: "This is completely different from the impression I had of Manuel."

"Huh? Sister Angelica has met Emperor Manuel?"

In today's Kingdom of Radebeul, Manuel the Great enjoys a very high reputation. The current royal family and King Peter are both descendants of Manuel the Great. The people of Radebeul firmly believe that Manuel's lifelong wish is to unify the entire territory of Radebeul. His legendary life is full of romance. There are not only historical biographies, but also countless gossips.

People are willing to believe that the legendary emperor was loved by more than one woman, and countless stories about Manuel's adventures have been circulated and performed on the stage of the Radebeul Opera House.

"Yes, I have. I told you I've been to Radebeul before. At that time, Radebeul had not yet completed its unification, and Manuel was not yet the emperor. He was just an insignificant little guy."
