Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"Owner……"

It’s actually a very long time, considering the puppet technology.

The average human lifespan is far from close to eighty years. Unless the person who picks up Anna is a species with a longer lifespan, Anna can definitely accompany her owner until the last moment.

But to Angelica, there was no difference between seventy-nine years and seven months.

Anna will definitely leave before Angelica because the witch is immortal and undying.

Anna was determined to serve until her magic core died, but Angelica showed a different attitude.

She greedily craved for longer.

Angelica then ponders her relationship with Anna.

First of all, there is no doubt that they are master and servant. Angelica is the master recognized by Anna, and no one can replace her.

And...yes, I like Anna very much.

Because she is a cute girl, this reason is extremely superficial, but Angelica has never been a person with noble sentiments. After all, when she rescued Anna, she didn't know whether she was a perfect maid or a cosplayer. She rescued Anna purely because Anna was a beautiful girl.

Homunculi don't age, so Angelica is confident that her love for Anna will last forever.

Maybe I love other girls occasionally.

For Angelica, she could not accept the fact that the beautiful girl she had always loved could only stay with her for eighty years.

I want to get nutrition from Anna every day.

I want to enjoy Anna's gentle lap pillow and ear cleaning services from time to time.

Wanting to find nice clothes, he stubbornly asked Anna to change into them.

Angelica dared to say that she would not get bored.

"It's decided, Anna."

Angelica made her decision.

"I have to find a way to keep Anna by my side."

"Eh? Master, you..."

"Anna, you won't be unwilling, will you? Cry."

Angelica quickly and skillfully entered the pitiful and tearful mode.

"How could that be? Anna is willing to serve the master until the end of time, but... why did the master suddenly say this..."

"Because I met someone familiar in the illusion created by the Siren's song, she hopes that I can be honest."

Angelica said a little embarrassedly, otherwise she would have to face her inner feelings after a long time. In the past, Angelica might have found a suitable place and tried to transfer Anna to a family that treated her well, so that she could become a maid who had nothing to do with witches.

Now that she had looked at it carefully, Angelica realized that she didn't want to do that.

What a joke... Why should such a perfect maid be given to someone else?

I want to keep Anna by my side and take Anna back to the witch's house in the Misty Mountains.

In that case, the current Anna must be changed.

This was the first time in thousands of years that Angelica planned to do something in the hope that someone would be by her side.

169 Miss Witch and the Lighthouse

"Although I am a beautiful and talented magician, I am not particularly good at puppetry. I know someone who is very skilled in puppetry..."

Angelica paused.

"But I don't want to find her."

"Is he someone who is hostile to the master?"

"It's not to the point of hostility... for various reasons."

If she went to find Coppelia, she would definitely mess up Angelica again.

Angelica will not die. If she can get a perfect result by betraying herself, she doesn't mind being Coppelia's dog. She has had experience anyway.

But after careful consideration, Angelica felt that there was no need to go to Coppelia immediately. Coppelia's body would not be used for too long because she had the habit of making new bodies and replacing them frequently, which meant that Coppelia's puppet technology paid more attention to the level of detail than the operating time.

It is true that if Angelica went to beg Coppelia, Coppelia would definitely agree to conduct a serious study, but Angelica has already suffered a psychological trauma from the past.

"Let me think... there is another way. We can go to the Golden Dawn. Anna was an Automata created during the Westcott period. If the Golden Dawn's heritage has not been cut off, they will definitely have a better solution."

"I'm very sorry, but Anna has no memory of the Golden Dawn."

"This is not something Anna needs to apologize for. The Magic Secret Society focuses on secrecy. It is impossible to embed too much information into the Automata they create. The information that Anna was created by the Golden Dawn is already the limit."

In fact, Golden Dawn could have hidden this information, and the reason they didn't delete Anna's factory information was simply to show off. "Look! We made her," this mentality is like a spy or a serial killer who fooled everyone and couldn't help but reveal his identity through a diary before he died, otherwise it would be boring if no one knew.

After making plans for the future, Anna suddenly felt full of energy. She was ready to ask the captain when they would arrive at Fairy Island. However, Angelica had just lifted a corner of the quilt when she was immediately held down by Anna with a gentle smile on her face.

"Master, please have a good rest."

“I feel like it’s okay.”

"Don't force yourself, Master. Generally, it will last for nearly a week. Don't worry, Anna will be here to record the date cycle in detail through calendars and tables to ensure Master's care during this period."

"Uh...actually there's no need to be so exaggerated...?"

Angelica was a little troubled. She just felt a little pain, which was not a big problem. Anna's attitude made it seem as if Angelica was pregnant.

"This must be taken seriously. Anna won't back down!"

"Really, really, this is not necessary! Do we have to do this every month?"

"Of course. It is a big taboo for a waiter to offend the master, but if it is for the health of the master, Anna will not hesitate to lock the master in bed and let the master have a good rest."

Who implanted this kind of knowledge into Anna...?

Angelica's legs weren't so weak that she couldn't walk, but the pain was indeed quite uncomfortable. At the worst, she even had the urge to burst her stomach.

"Okay, okay. I'll listen to Anna."

Angelica had no choice but to give in. Speaking of which...

...It's been a long time since anyone has taken care of me like this.

Angelica had long been accustomed to living alone. When she felt pain, she would roll around in bed by herself, and no one would even tell her to drink more hot water.

——My elder sister actually doesn’t like being alone.

"Well... Anna, I'll be bored staying in bed. Anna has to make it up to me."

“Not allowed during special periods.”

"I didn't say what I was going to do. Is it that Anna's impression of me is that my mind is only filled with yellow waste?"

Angelica was very dissatisfied, but thinking back on her past experiences, it seemed that she had been sticking to Anna intensively every day since she picked her up.

But Angelica was not going to reflect on herself, because Anna was very cute and it was normal for her to be unable to control herself.

"How about we do a little story?"

"Storytelling?"

Anna felt a little unfamiliar with this word.

This is exactly Angelica's advantage. She has a lot of rich social knowledge before the time travel. Although she has no experience because of her tendency to stay at home before the time travel, she basically just plays the role of a bystander with an aunt's smile in front of the screen. Now that she has arrived in the new world, she must show her real ability and participate in it personally.

As the saying goes, a school trip without group ghost stories and hot spring scenes at night is soulless. Wouldn't it be fun for girls to stay together and tell ghost stories to scare each other? Especially Angelica is not afraid of ghosts.

This has nothing to do with courage. It's simply that as a magician, Angelica understands that the so-called ghosts are undead creatures that can be destroyed. All fear comes from insufficient firepower. When you have the magical qualifications to blow up the undead, your reaction to ghost stories is nothing more than: Wow, these protagonists who are chased everywhere by ghosts are so lame.

"When I was in the adventure group, I often gathered in front of the campfire and told each other stories that we had heard. Storytelling is more interesting when there are more people, so I have to find more girls to hold a super large storytelling meeting together."

Angelica seemed to have regained her former enthusiasm. Although Anna was confused by Angelica's logic, she was, after all, a maid who liked to accommodate her master. Besides, the story would be information that was not in her memory. If her master liked it, Anna thought she must learn it.

"I understand. Anna will do her best. So Master, who should start?"

"I'll go first! Does Anna know about the lighthouse?"

Angelica tells her interesting story.

A lighthouse is a tall building commonly seen on the coast and in ports. It projects light onto the sea through optical refraction at the top of the tower to guide approaching ships. In recent years, based on the magic props improved by the magician Merlin, the optical refraction has been changed to a magic prop on the basis that the lighthouse is strong enough to bear the weight, and it can radiate to a greater distance.

The story that Angelica wants to tell takes place when lighthouses were not yet popular. Lighthouses created light through flames, so someone was needed to stay at the lighthouse permanently. The job of lighthouse keeper was born.

Since lighthouses have the important responsibility of guiding merchant ships, the salaries are often extremely generous. However, there is a drawback. Lighthouses are generally built at high locations and are generally not suitable for human habitation. Therefore, lighthouse keepers need to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The story takes place at a lighthouse in the south of the human world. There are two tower keepers working at the same lighthouse. Their names are Howell and Griffith.

170 The Witch Lady Who is Good at Telling Stories

The lighthouse where Howell and Griffith worked has a rather special geographical location. It is not adjacent to the mainland but is located on an isolated island that requires a long boat ride to reach. The island is extremely small and there is no value or space for developing the island. However, considering its special geographical location, people built a lighthouse on the island.

The lighthouse on this isolated island is truly isolated from the world, and the only sound that lingers in your ears all day long is the sound of waves hitting the shore.

However, Howell and Griffith, who worked together on the lighthouse on the isolated island, did not have a harmonious relationship. They even fought each other. This was because working at the lighthouse on that island was too boring, almost like exile. The manager always just gave them kind words of advice, because it was not easy to find a successor.

Until one day, a storm was approaching and Howell and Griffith were working on the lighthouse. They had enough supplies to last until the storm passed.

However, an accident occurred when the storm came. Griffith slipped and fell from the lighthouse and died. Howell had no means of notifying the people in the town to transport the body. Their only way of communicating with the town was the supply ship that arrived regularly.

Howell, who was terrified of the corpse, planned to throw Griffith's body into the sea, but he suddenly thought that everyone knew that he and Griffith had a bad relationship. If Griffith died without any evidence, he would most likely be accused of murdering Griffith.

So Howell suppressed his fear and made a simple coffin for Griffith. He was afraid of the stench caused by decay, so he hung the coffin outside the lighthouse.

But this time the storm was so violent that it soon blew the wooden boards of the coffin apart.

People who were worried about the danger of the storm planned to visit Howell and Griffith. They saw someone waving at them from afar on the island, so they left without any worries. However, it was not someone waving at them, but Griffith's body swaying left and right in the storm.

No one came to rescue.

I don’t know when the storm will stop.

Griffith's rotting body swayed with the storm, hitting the lighthouse continuously.

Howell spent three months with a dead body.

The storm died down and the rescue ship finally arrived.

The rescuers hardly recognized Howell anymore, and the entire lighthouse was filled with the stench of Howell's excrement and urination. Someone read Howell's diary and finally realized that Howell had gone completely insane during the lonely months living with the corpses, and had to resort to self-blasphemy to maintain consciousness.

It is said that this incident became an opportunity to reform the lighthouse system, expanding the number of lighthouse keepers to at least four people to avoid being isolated and helpless in the event of an accident.

"How is it? Isn't it a very interesting story?"

Angelica said excitedly.

The corners of Anna's mouth twitched. As a perfect Automata, she did have basic common sense.

The story can be down-to-earth, but it cannot be unrealistic.

The thought of living with a dead body for three months, isolated and helpless, makes my hair stand on end and my spine go cold just thinking about it.

"I'm going to tell this story to the sailors on the ship."

"This... Anna thinks it's too early for those dull sailors to be exposed to the master's carefully crafted story."

"The above story is based on real experiences."

This sentence brings the dark side of the lighthouse story to a new level.

Anna argued with reason and finally persuaded Angelica, thus saving the sailors of the Black Rose.

The story is well told, don’t tell it again next time.

Next it's Anna's turn. Having said that, Anna has been on the Black Rose since it was put into operation and has no time to accumulate stories. She does have a wealth of fairy tales on board, but the story time is obviously not suitable for telling fairy tales.

After pondering for a moment, Anna recalled some interesting things the chef talked about when she was working in the kitchen.

"Then it's Anna's turn next. In the R'lyeh Sea, ships traveling to and from the Fairy Island will encounter many difficult problems. First, they may lose their way in the black fog, and they may also encounter sea monsters. There are sirens who sing the songs of the sirens, sea monsters of huge size that cause large whirlpools, and predators that use the catchphrase 'Do you know how starfish eat?'"

"Did something strange get in there?"

Angelica felt like she had heard of the last one somewhere.

"But all of the above can be avoided by experienced captains."
