Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"The village of Farel will never mistreat any magician who passes through here on their journey, even if it is just a simple meal."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"No problem, I hope you have a good time in Farrar Village."

Victoria finally let go of her hand only after the old village chief left.

Angelica immediately protested in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"The villagers of Farel are all good people. It's better not to have any ideas about girls from other families."

“I just want to be friendly with them.”

Angelica curled her lips. Victoria, really, is she the kind of person who would hurt the hearts of pure girls regardless of the occasion?

Victoria did not cover Angelica's ears when she stopped her from having a sudden illness, so Angelica listened to the history of Farrer Village narrated by the village chief verbatim.

So Angelica called Victoria to a remote and deserted corner and told her a secret directly.

"W-What?! Are you saying that you were one of the members of the adventuring group at that time?"

After listening to the village chief's explanation of the reason for treating the magician, Angelica finally awakened her forgotten memory: the adventure group that came to Farrer Village to kill the Hippogriff and stop the snowstorm was exactly the adventure group that Angelica had been in, and Angelica herself was one of the magicians who stopped the snowstorm.

"Because it's been so long, I forgot about it... It's so strange, how could the magic circle we set up back then be able to maintain its function for thousands of years? Although nothing is impossible with a genius like me, I was still quite young at that time... Ah!"

Angelica suddenly let out a scream, like a frightened animal.

"What's wrong, Angelica?"

"No, nothing..."

If I say this here, my career as a witch will probably be over, so I might as well make a loud noise to cover it up.

Angelica suddenly remembered something from the past. As she said before, Angelica was still very young when she was in the adventure group. Young people always do stupid things that they wish they could go back and beat themselves up when they think about it when they grow up. Unfortunately, Angelica was at this stage at the time.

The magic circle that protects Farel Village from the wind and snow contains Angelica's dark history.

It’s so miserable…

Angelica pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, she was sweating profusely under her wizard hat.

Even though Angelica had no memory of what she had done, it was her after all, so it shouldn't be something that could be made public.

Now that I'm here, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to reclaim my dark history.

No matter how much Victoria asked, Angelica was unwilling to say more. Anyway, their shoes were wet on the way here, so staying in Farel Village to rest was a good choice.

Due to its geographical location, Farel Village has no church, and naturally no priests. Therefore, there are only a handful of people in the small village who have mastered Sequence 8 magic, and most of them are ordinary people who only know Sequence 9 magic or nothing at all. In the human world, there is almost no village without magic at all, and at least there will be villagers who have mastered Sequence 9 magic.

The history of Farrer Village has made many children develop a worship mentality towards magicians, but unfortunately most of them have mediocre talents. Occasionally there are young people with good magical talents, but they all go out to explore the world. Those who remain in Farrer Village are villagers who live a simple daily life.

From the villagers' chats after dinner, Angelica roughly understood the structure of Farrar Village. The people responsible for guarding the magic circle were all ordinary people, and the celebrations held recently were one of the few times they left the magic circle to celebrate together.

On the night of the celebration, Angelica, who had stayed in Farel Village for several days and had become familiar with many of the hospitable villagers, began her black history recovery plan.

"You mean you want to have a drinking contest with us?"

"Did I hear you right, Miss Magician?

The villagers found it unbelievable. They brewed a lot of fine wine for the celebration, but no matter how you looked at it, Angelica didn't seem like the type to be good at drinking.

"Are you afraid of losing to a weak girl like me?"

Angelica deliberately used words to provoke the villagers.

"How is that possible! Come on!"

"Don't blame us for not reminding you. If you drink too much, you will have a headache when you wake up the next day, haha..."

The kindhearted and honest villagers of Farel accepted Angelica's challenge. As for why Angelica went to such great lengths to get the villagers drunk? Of course, it was because there was free alcohol and it would be a waste not to drink it...

108 The Witch Lady's Social Death

"Look at that guy, he's such a loser, he got drunk after just a few drinks..."

The celebration in Farrar Village lasted the whole night. Angelica's heroic drinking contest attracted the attention of the villagers of Farrar Village. When outsiders came to the village for a drinking contest, the villagers would generally unite against the enemy and would never let the outsider win the championship.

However, what they didn't expect was that Angelica could drink unexpectedly.

Angelica drunkenly pointed at the fainted man and teased him, but after looking around, she found that there was no one else standing around. Unknowingly, Angelica challenged the entire village and got them all drunk.

Angelica stood up unsteadily and slapped her cheek.

"Yeah, done."

Angelica, who should have been too drunk to walk, suddenly recovered her spirits. If someone had paid close attention to Angelica during the drinking contest, they would have noticed something obviously abnormal: Angelica drank several barrels of wine in succession, but did not even go to the toilet. If she drank too much at the banquet, she would have to leave for a while in the middle of the banquet.

Angelica wanted to claim that she was a beautiful girl who didn't need to go to the toilet, but unfortunately, even after becoming a Beyonder, her body structure still followed the basic physiological needs of humans.

It doesn't count as cheating if you're not caught. This is exactly Angelica's creed. Besides, there are a large number of beautiful young female tourists at the celebration, which adds to the lively atmosphere of the celebration. Even people in the village who don't drink much have joined in. This can be regarded as Angelica's compensation to the villagers of Farrar Village.

Using magic to avoid the problems of drunkenness and excessive drinking, Angelica went around to the core area of ​​the village that should have been tightly guarded. Back then, they built a magic circle on the ground veins of Farrar Village. Since then, Farrar Village has regarded it as a holy place and has been strictly guarded for thousands of years, not allowing anyone to destroy it.

The magic circle was built on a huge stone that they carved into a stone tablet. Angelica vaguely remembered that her suggestion at the time seemed to be to make a sculpture based on her, but was collectively stopped by her companions.

"--Wait a moment."

Victoria's voice came from behind Angelica.

"I remember that you don't like drinking. Sure enough, you specifically provoked the villagers of Farel Village in order to get them drunk so that you can come here and do something convenient."

Victoria was not drunk either. The only people in Farrer Village who had the ability to use magic to neutralize the anesthetic effects of alcohol were Angelica and Victoria.

"I'm not quite sure what you're going to do... but it looks like you're going to destroy the magic circle?"

“It’s not destruction, it’s correction.”

Angelica explained seriously.

"I just checked the operation of the magic circle and found that it could operate for thousands of years. In fact, it triggered a bug and ran in an incorrect way for thousands of years. Now I want to correct the program of the magic circle to make up for my mistake back then."

Angelica explained to Victoria that at least the first half of the explanation was true. After checking the magic circle, Angelica found that the magic circle could last for a thousand years because of the wrong construction. If you have to compare it, it's like writing a program. Sometimes you don't know the principle, but the program just runs.

"So are there any side effects of a magic circle constructed in the wrong way?"

"……No."

It was pure luck that the magic circle was able to be successfully activated, but the kindness and simplicity of the villagers of Farel Village deserved this good luck. Angelica felt that as long as she didn't deliberately fiddle with the magic circle, it would continue to work and protect the village from the storm.

"So there's no need to fix it, right? What if something goes wrong?"

"I, if I say it's necessary, then it's necessary!"

Angelica gave up arguing with Victoria and turned around and raised her wand. Victoria's face changed and she dodged behind Angelica and hugged her, but it was too late. The magic wand fired a magic bullet and shattered the fragile stone tablet with one blow.

There was no great change that shook the heaven and earth, but a projection radiated from the shattered stone tablet. After seeing the projection, Angelica was so excited that she trembled all over.

Victoria knew that it was an image recorded by magic. Perhaps because the magic circle was maintained smoothly, the image stored in it was also preserved. When the magic circle was destroyed, the image would play automatically.

"Can you hear me? Can you hear me? My future self~"

A girl with a beautiful smile appeared in the image. When Victoria saw the girl's pearl-like eyes in the image, she immediately recognized the girl's true identity.

"Angelica?!"

“Uooaaaaaaaaaaa——”

Angelica, who was caught by Victoria, cried out. The appearance of the Angelica in the image and the current Angelica has not changed, but there are many differences in details. The current Angelica has long straight hair, while the Angelica in the image has tied it into a princess braid with some ribbons tied on the braid to make it more cute.

The clothes were completely different from now. The wizard hat was nowhere to be seen, and they were wearing uniforms that were more similar to those of a magic academy.

"It looks like there's no problem. Very good, I'll leave proof of my footprints here. I'll be so happy when I dig it out on my honeymoon!"

Angelica from the past spoke in a happy tone, and Victoria realized that this was something like a time capsule, and the witch lady, whose dark history was dug up, wailed in despair.

"Turn it off! Turn it off!"

However, Angelica in the image continued to talk non-stop.

"How was I when I opened this record? I must have learned a lot of magic, right? After all, a genius like me can easily learn any magic! I originally planned to have this village build a statue based on me, but the leader said that I would be regarded as an evil god, so forget it. It's so rude! But it doesn't matter, I have plenty of time... When I come back later, I must make up the statue!"

"what……"

The leader. He should be the leader of the adventure group that Angelica was in at the time. So much time has passed, and all the members of the adventure group are no longer alive. Victoria felt a little sad when she thought about it.

"Of course, it's everyone's effort to protect this village from the elements. Unfortunately, the badge for the adventure team hasn't been decided yet. Everyone has their own ideas, and we always argue about them. By the time we come back, the badge should have been decided. Remember to add the team badge as a sculpture, future me!"

Then, maybe it was Victoria's illusion, but Angelica in the picture blushed and felt shy for a short time.

"And... how far has the relationship between me and my dearest sister Viola progressed? Are we on our honeymoon now? I'm so excited just thinking about it~"

109 The Witch Lady and the Adventure Group

Viola?

Victoria had never heard Angelica mention it, but she could tell from the name that it was a girl's name. So she was free in love a thousand years ago...

"In the future, Viola and I must have a super cute child, and I hope that the child will have a very possessive personality! I will never give my mother to others, my mother only belongs to me... With such a strong possessiveness, he imprisons the weak me... Ah~ What a bad child~"

"…………"

Victoria had seen countless parents who wanted their children to be successful and achieve great things, but this was the first time she had seen a child who wanted her to have improper thoughts about her.

Angelica, whose dark history was exposed, muttered in a daze, "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal" and "My daughter's daughter is still my daughter." It seemed more like she was out of her mind than making a weak excuse.

"My future self will get along well with Viola. Oh, and there is one more important thing, which is to improve the wedding dresses in this world! There is no uniformity in the current styles, how can this work? In order to promote the wedding dress culture, keep working hard, my future self!"

With that said, the remaining image ended there, and most of it was just meaningless mumbling to oneself.

"So the wedding dress was your invention?"

When it comes to wedding dresses, people naturally think of white veils and long, puffy skirts. Traditionally, every devout believer must go to church, and the bride wears a beautiful wedding dress that symbolizes purity and gets married under the witness of the priest. Only then is the sacrament of marriage complete.

People usually think that the wedding dress was invented to strengthen the influence of the church, but in fact it was not the case. It was Angelica who improved and promoted the wedding dress. However, Angelica herself did not care much about this reputation. She invented the wedding dress because of some strange obsession.

It's like completing a Galgame. Angelica believes that if there is no pregnancy CG at the end, it means the most important soul is missing. So a wedding dress is necessary. The more sacred it is, the more it can symbolize blasphemy in a church... In short, the reason why Angelica is committed to promoting wedding dresses will probably never be recorded in history.

"Is it not good?"

Angelica said in a muffled voice.

"The wedding dress is so beautiful...especially the young ladies of the nobles, they love it so much."

Wedding dresses are not something that every family can afford. Currently, they are only popular among nobles and wealthy people. Ordinary farm girls know that wedding dresses are beautiful, but their families are far from having the financial resources to buy luxurious clothes that they will only wear once in a lifetime.

"So what you left behind was a spur to your future self? Are you going to fill in the sculpture?"

"That's not necessary. It's impossible to carve them exactly the same anyway. As for the emblem of the adventure group... you may not believe it, but our adventure group didn't decide on an emblem until it was disbanded."

Angelica quickly came out of the shame of the ultimate revelation of her dark history and spoke about the past as if nothing had happened.

"After all, our adventure group had nearly 50 members at its peak, even including the chefs, blacksmiths and other logistical personnel. Everyone had a lot of opinions. The leader suggested using a wooden horse as the group emblem, and the blacksmith uncle liked muscles... I still think my suggestion was the best."

"I guess your suggestion is to use your portrait as the emblem."

"Huh? How do you know?"

"I can't imagine you making any other suggestions... Is it possible that no one else would support this proposal?"

"Nonsense, Viola supports me."

"Viola?"

Victoria blurted out, but she regretted it after she said it. The witch's life is eternal. If the Viola mentioned by Angelica is someone she cares about, she must not be with the witch now.

Angelica didn't seem to have any special reaction, neither sadness nor anger. Time can always dilute a lot of things. Angelica didn't think Viola was a taboo that she couldn't talk about.

"Viola is a junior who joined the adventure group with me. Actually, we are not sisters. When we were studying at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, Viola and I became sisters. After leaving the academy, we have been inseparable."

Victoria was even more shocked that Angelica was actually a graduate of the famous ladies' academy on the continent. The image of the school that she had always admired for training ladies was suddenly shattered in Victoria's mind.

To be precise, Viola is Angelica's nickname for her, just like Coppelia likes to call Angelica Angelica. Angelica actually opposed Coppelia using such a close name, but later gradually chose to adapt. Angelica herself felt that it did not mean that her relationship with Coppelia had improved, but that apart from Coppelia, there were basically no people who called her Angelica.

"The reason we joined the adventure group was to find potions for Viola, but the atmosphere in the adventure group was great, so we just stayed in the adventure group until it was disbanded. I really miss those days..."

Whether it was when Viola was still here, or when she traveled with the adventure group, they were all unforgettable memories for Miss Witch.

"—Can you hear me?"
