Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Below Zeno’s neck, there is a small pattern: a twisted snake biting its own tail, which resembles the symbol of infinity (∞).

It would be much more interesting if it was a star-shaped symbol, but Angelica's rich experience still helped her recognize the meaning behind this symbol.

"Magic Secret Society: Ouroboros, also known as Ouroboros. Zeno, you were originally a member of the magical secret society Ouroboros."

121 The Knight's Destination

"The Secret Magic Society. I heard from my teacher at the academy... It is an organization formed by magicians who are unwilling to be loyal to the kingdom."

"That's right. Not all magicians are willing to be loyal to the kingdom. Some magicians hope to stay away from the secular world and study the mysteries of magic on their own. These magicians band together to form underground associations to help each other study magic together. This is the prototype of the original establishment of the magic secret society. Now, most of the magic secret societies are weird and strange."

It is said that in some countries, nobles rule on the surface, but magic secret societies control everything in secret.

"Everything in the Magic Secret Society is a secret that only the society can know. If someone wants to quit, they must clean up all traces and leave no information that can be discovered by others."

"I thought I would be killed directly..."

"That was indeed the case at the beginning, but because the employment contract was too shady, no one joined soon... and then."

Angelica raised her chin proudly.

"It was under these circumstances that the inherent magic 'Personality Beginning' was developed, and I was also involved."

Victoria had guessed that Angelica had said all this just to brag about herself.

But Victoria still had a doubt.

“Why do you need to leave a mark specifically?”

"The symbol of the Magical Secret Society is permanent, and only a very small number of people know their symbol. Miss Victoria didn't know what this symbol meant before, right?"

"This……"

Victoria was speechless for a moment. Indeed, for most people, the mark on Zeno's back had no special meaning. At most, they would just find the shape of the mark strange.

"By the way... the magic secret society Ouroboros..."

For Angelica, the Ouroboros has another meaning.

She knew the leader of the Ouroboros, the current magic secret society, who was also one of the Beyonders like Angelica.

——Socrates. He is known as “Purple” among the Beyonders, and is the only Beyonder who is active in public.

Although public activities are contrary to the secrecy of the magic secret society, Socrates is indeed the leader of the magic secret society Ouroboros at the time. Angelica has no idea what Socrates and Ouroboros are doing, nor does she understand why Zeno was exiled from Ouroboros by Socrates.

Initially, the magic secret societies were simply organizations that studied the mysteries of magic, but the surviving magic secret societies now generally have their own purposes, and some organizations have even continued for hundreds of years for a certain purpose.

Forget it, I'll ask Socrates when I have the chance to meet him next time.

"So, Zeno, what are you going to do?"

"Even if you say I'm from the Ouroboros organization... I still can't remember anything. Maybe my memory is really destroyed like you said."

Afterwards, Angelica, Victoria and Yi told Zeno everything that happened in Alkmaar. Only now did Zeno finally understand that he had been used by the retainers of the former nobles who stayed behind. Those retainers were used to being accomplices to the evil, which was completely opposite to Zeno's nature.

Fortunately, much of the treasure they had plundered was hidden in the castle, so there was still a chance to recover it.

The only problem was what to do with Zeno. According to Zeno's own ideas, he should not stay in Alkmaar for both moral and logical reasons.

Victoria disagrees.

"Mr. Zeno, I think you should stay in Alkmaar. Alkmaar needs a ruler."

"But they no longer trust me..."

"The lost public support can be restored. We have already caught the culprit. We only need to hold a trial, expel these retainers and distribute the remaining property to the villagers. If this is not enough, we can use magic to help the villagers and win back their hearts."

"Huh? You're quite experienced, Miss Victoria."

"I am a noble after all..."

Victoria was a little depressed. She was not at the top of the family inheritance list, but she was a noble after all and had some talent for governing a territory.

"But if we expel the servants, who will assist Zeno?"

This is the crux of the matter. Zeno is not a bad person by nature, but he has lost all his memories of the past and can only obey the expectations of others. If a Sequence 2 magician is used to do evil, the consequences will be disastrous.

Perhaps new servants could be promoted from the villagers, but there was no guarantee that they would not degenerate. Even the witch could not instill a large amount of knowledge into Zeno all at once and correct his character.

Victoria had already figured out what to do.

"Angelica, didn't you ask me before what my plans were for the future? Now I can answer you. I hope I can stay in a place where I can do my best to uphold justice. I used to think that I could eliminate all evil by traveling around the continent, but I guess that was a bit arrogant. I still think that I should help those in need. Even if there are things I can't do, there are still places where my power can be used... like here."

Victoria placed her right hand on her heart and swore sincerely.

"As long as I am here, I will assist Mr. Zeno in managing Alkmaar, teach Mr. Zeno again, and restore Alkmaar to prosperity and order. I believe this is what I can do."

"Don't teach Zeno to be afraid of goblins, okay?"

"No way!"

This is indeed the best choice. Angelica knows that Victoria is definitely not a bad person, and she will not guide Zeno, a magician who is like a blank sheet of paper, onto the wrong path.

Sometimes Victoria would try things beyond her capabilities, such as challenging a Sequence 2 magician, but managing Alkmaar was within Victoria's capabilities.

"What is Zeno's opinion?"

"I have no objection... maybe I should ask for your advice?"

Zeno lost his memory and had no place to live. Victoria suggested that he stay in Alkmaar, which also gave Zeno a direction to act. The aimless magician finally found the right place to contribute his power.

With the witch as witness, Zeno and Victoria restored order in Alkmaar over the next few days.

The residents had some suspicion that the attendants were the culprits, but as they saw Zeno and Victoria working diligently to restore Alkmaar's prosperity, their doubts were gradually dispelled.

One morning, the lady knight who had been with the witch for a while said goodbye to her outside the castle.

She prayed sincerely, hoping that the gods would protect the witch on her future journey.

Even if the gods are not watching over this world, Victoria will send her prayers to the witch far away.

It's not out of faith, but out of longing for a friend.

Socrates is an ancient Greek philosopher.

122 [Witch and Straight Girl]

Having a long life naturally comes with certain unique advantages.

That is, even if you are not very good at something, you can become proficient in it through years of experience. Angelica calls herself a genius, but this is only limited to her attainments in magic. In other aspects, witches are not good at them either.

For example, when it comes to outdoor cooking, Angelica cherishes her slender fingers very much, and she is very reluctant to try any physical labor or dirty activities. From this perspective, it is not wrong to describe Angelica as spoiled. The only difference is that Angelica still has the skills, but she is just unwilling to practice them herself.

"Hmmmm~ I didn't expect to catch a chicken snake here, and sprinkle some seasoning on it..."

The so-called cockatrice is a monster that is commonly found in the territory where the orcs live. As the name suggests, they have the head of a rooster and the body of a snake, and even have the magic to petrify people. They are known as the young version of Medusa. However, the petrification vision of the cockatrice is much weaker and can be reflected back by ordinary mirrors. If you grasp the opportunity, ordinary people can kill it.

To many people's surprise, cockatrice meat is very delicious. Angelica prefers her stomach to digest butter and cheese, but she is willing to make an exception for cockatrice meat. It may be because the cockatrice's head maintains the shape of a rooster, so it tastes crispy and chicken-like, and the protein content is N times that of beef.

The most important thing to enjoy roasted chicken and snake meat is the seasoning. In this era, spices are precious goods, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are worth a thousand gold. Most of the common people's homes are not qualified to use spices, and only the nobles and the church have the means to get them. The soil in the human world is not suitable for growing spices. Most of the spices enjoyed by the human world today are transported from the north.

Considering the geographical location alone, the north is actually less suitable for growing spices. A long time ago, due to a series of actions by the "Green" witch, the Fairy Island in the north formed a unique climate, which is suitable for growing spices such as pepper and nutmeg. Now, coastal cities in the north usually have trade routes to the Fairy Island. Having said that, the high returns of the spice trade are also accompanied by high risks.

This is because the route directly to the Fairy Island requires passing through the dangerous R'lyeh Sea. Even the most experienced captains and sailors cannot guarantee that every voyage will be safe. If one wants to pursue safety, one must take a detour, spend a lot of time landing on the land inhabited by the elves, and then reach the Fairy Island by land.

Considering the huge profits, countless ships sailed towards the turbulent R'lyeh Sea and never came out again.

In short, spices are precious materials in the human world. Witches never like to compromise themselves, and they always store a lot of things in their overloaded space, including spices.

"It smells so good... I haven't tried it for a long time and thought my cooking skills would become rusty. As expected of me, I just need to bake it for a few more minutes..."

Smelling the delicious aroma of barbecue, Angelica's stomach was already rumbling impatiently.

The witch's expression changed subtly. She might not be a top chef, but she was definitely a top gourmet. She had tried all kinds of food except those in members-only restaurants, and any slight difference could not escape the witch's keen sense of smell.

Burnt?

Strange, the temperature should be just right...

The temperature of the flames inexplicably increased, and Angelica suddenly realized the culprit for the increase in the temperature of the flames: an uninvited guest who was approaching her silently.

"It's you... "Hong"."

Angelica raised her wand, wary of the sudden appearance of the red girl.

The long crimson hair fluttered in the wind like a fire that never went out, and it seemed as if even the air around the girl was distorted by the scorching temperature. The first impression of the girl's dress was that of a dancer who was stunningly beautiful. There was no extra fabric, and she showed off her smooth and moist skin, and her perfect body curves were clearly visible.

The strange thing is that the girl's face is as cold as frost, even though her soul seems to be burning fiercely. The contrast between the unmeltable ice and the burning flames appears in the same person, which not only does not make people feel disobedient and contradictory, but also gives the girl a strange sense of beauty.

She was definitely the type of pretty girl that Angelica loved.

However, Angelica showed rare vigilance and hostility. She knew very well that this man was a troublesome love-brained person.

The Red Witch, Dorothea.

Like Angelica, she is one of the extraordinary people who have become eternal. She is also someone Angelica regrets knowing. Dorothea is a catastrophic character that cannot appear in harem-themed light novels. She is extremely possessive and easily hysterical. She is a landmine girl who is 99% sick and 1% spoiled.

Rather than saying that Dorothea cannot tolerate a harem, it is better to say that Dorothea hopes that the other person will only have eyes for her and will never look away, with only each other in their eyes. It is this overload of love that makes Dorothea constantly burn the person she falls in love with, freezing them forever in the most beautiful moment.

Love is eternal, but Dorothea's love is morbid from beginning to end.

Angelica likes beautiful girls very much, but she keeps her distance from Dorothea. She is totally unable to handle Dorothea, so the relationship between Angelica and Dorothea is at most that of mutual acquaintance. The last time she saw Dorothea was probably a hundred years ago.

However, as long as it doesn't involve love issues, Dorothea is not completely unable to communicate.

Fortunately, Dorothea is straight, and she kills lovers predicted by astrology more than once, and there are no strange predictions that cause Dorothea to fall in love with strange people.

"Why are you here? I remember this isn't your territory."

"..."

Dorothea stared at Angelica without saying a word.

Angelica felt uncomfortable being stared at. Wasn't it true that Dorothea was straight? She began to lose confidence.

Angelica thought it was normal for girls to like her because of her beauty, but not everyone dared to transcend the constraints of common sense, so the number of girls who actively pursued Angelica was not as many as imagined.

Coppelia is enough as a suitor that makes my scalp tingle. I don't want to be entangled by Dorothea.

No, no, Dorothea is definitely straight... I must be overthinking it.

Angelica pushed away the messy thoughts in her mind.

"Angelica."

Dorothea spoke. She looked cold as ice, but she would talk quite a lot during normal communication.

“W-What…?”

"I'm here to have a baby with you."

"o_O"

123 Miss Witch Won't Be Bullied by Straight Girls

Because what Dorothea said was so shocking, even Angelica was completely shocked.

First of all, it should be made clear that Dorothea is not a person who can joke. She is not good at either making jokes or being joked. Therefore, Dorothea cannot be teasing Angelica when she said this. So is Dorothea serious...?

"I'm here to have a baby with you."

"No need to repeat yourself!"

"So start now?"

"Do you think I'm a sow? No, Dorothea... this is not like your character. You are a normal heterosexual, right? Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

Angelica, who has extensive experience in this area, decides to break Dorothea's fantasy.

"This is absolutely impossible between girls."

"……Really?"

"Otherwise, I would have had many children and grandchildren."
