Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

The fat goblins and the witches gathered together and talked about their goblin friends in the mountains near Kinkola.

The table was filled with a sumptuous meal, a feast prepared for Angelica and the others. Compared to Angelica, who at least retained some positive influences of a lady's education, Coppelia's eating manners were clearly ruining the image of a beautiful girl.

"Gobelle... No one is competing with you for it."

"It's great, it's so great, I haven't had it for a long time...mm..."

"If you like eating delicious food so much, then go learn some cooking skills yourself."

Angelica patted Coppelia's back as she choked after wolfing down her food, and handed her a glass of apple juice. There was an endless supply of fruit in Kinkola, so the juice production technique had been perfected.

Coppelia drank the juice in one gulp. Angelica shook her head when she saw it. She really didn't look like a lady at all.

Logically speaking, Angelica is not related to Coppelia, so there is no need for her to act like a mother. But Coppelia has the same appearance as Angelica after all, and Angelica cannot allow Coppelia to ruin her image.

"Learning cooking is so troublesome, why don't Anjie come to my house and take care of me?"

"I reject."

Angelica rejected it without hesitation. She didn't have the habit of actively cooking when she was alone at home. If there was no takeout in the world of swords and magic, Angelica wouldn't even enter the kitchen except for cleaning.

There were still crumbs on the corners of Coppelia's lips, and Angelica took out a handkerchief. Since she was using the same face as her, it was hard to accept that she was so careless.

But before Angelica could reach out her hand, Anna flashed between the two of them and wiped the crumbs from the corner of Coppelia's lips with her handkerchief.

"Lady Coppelia, please observe dining etiquette."

“Hey… An-Angie finally wants to be gentle with me for once…”

"Anna just prepared the food for Master and Lady Coppelia. Please accept it."

Anna presented Angelica and Coppelia with food in bite-sized portions suitable for ladies. The bread, vegetables and meat were cut into small pieces so they no longer had to worry about choking.

This way, even Coppelia choking and being slapped on the back by Angelica would never happen again.

Although Coppelia and Anna were both smiling, Angelica could see intense sparks flying between them.

The relationship between the two of them is still like this...

Angelica felt helpless. She thought that enjoying her together in Kilmallock would make their relationship better, but now they were still at loggerheads.

“It’s a great relationship.”

"Yes, it's a friendship worth envy."

"If Clena were still here, we would get along just as well with her as they do."

The fat fairies interpreted the relationship between Coppelia and Anna as a very good one. After all, fairies are very straightforward and cannot see any undercurrents.

"Is Clena the friend you mentioned who lives in the nearby mountains?"

"Yes! Clena is our friend."

"She is a very gentle person, but she is also a crybaby. We are all very worried about her because she lives alone."

"But Clena insisted on being alone, and without food."

"That's why you need our food supply."

Angelica put the grapes that Anna had peeled into her mouth.

"I'm curious, why do you have to go through so much trouble? You have no shortage of food here, so why does Clena want to live alone in the nearby mountains?"

It would be understandable if the fairies of Kinkola hated Clena, but it seemed that they all liked Clena very much, so there must be some hidden secret.

The fat goblins' expressions darkened. Since there was plenty of food in Kinkola, the goblins even learned music-playing skills from the bards. Now even the tunes played by the goblins were full of sadness.

"Because...the guests who come to Kinkola will be afraid of Clena."

"Kleina is also a fairy, but she is a banshee."

Banshee, a branch of fairies, is a kind of fairy born with special powers.

"Anna, do you know the Banshee?"

"I know a little bit. In the human world, banshees are fairies that can only be seen by people who are dying. They will cry for the bad news of the dying person. If a person is healthy but sees a banshee, it is believed that he will encounter an accident soon. Therefore, banshees are considered to be a symbol of bad luck."

Anna's data contains information about banshees. Although banshees are usually beautiful fairies, no one wants to see them.

Legend has it that the Banshee can only be seen by people who are about to die, so she is named the Banshee, which means the ominous fairy who comes to announce death.

"No, Clena is a good fairy."

"The Banshee is not what you say, even though the guests are very scared..."

The fat goblins all spoke up for Clena.

Coppelia curled her lips.

"These are all misunderstandings made up by humans. Anjie should know that banshees are a minority race that exists naturally among fairies. Everyone can see them. In the early days, other races did not understand the characteristics of banshees and made up rumors based on hearsay, causing banshees to be regarded as evil fairies."

It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. The Banshee is not as evil as the rumors say.

"Bane maidens are born with the ability to see the time and cause of death of every creature. They are also kind fairies, so they cry for those who died a violent death, because no matter what they do, fate cannot be changed. In the end, they were misunderstood as mourning..."

Coppelia was full of complaints. She had a very good friend who was a Banshee, so she could not tolerate misunderstandings about Banshees. In fact, magicians who have reached the level of a master will understand that Banshees are nothing to be afraid of, but the ignorant always make up the majority, and the fear of the unknown prompts them to weave rumors in order to avoid the fate of inevitable death.

It is obvious that even if the Banshee did not arrive, the accident would still happen.

"I'm glad you understand Clena... Clena has never done anything bad. We try our best to explain to every guest who comes to Kinkola. Clena also lives with us in the colony."

"Until one day, Clena suddenly said that this was not okay. Her presence in Kinkola would leave a bad impression on the guests. No one wanted to come to the city with the Banshee anymore. She moved to a nearby mountain to live alone. No matter how we persuaded her, Clena didn't want to come back."

"Kleina, after doing this, there are indeed more guests, right?"

Angelica speculated that all races other than fairies, not just humans, actually have a common misunderstanding about the Banshee. If anything, the brave orcs are not afraid of it, but unfortunately orcs generally cannot pass through the Elf Island to reach the Fairy Island.

"Yes... there are new guests every day. But Clena can only live alone in the mountains and can't laugh with us. We also want Clena to be happy. Two happy things overlapping should bring more happiness. Why did it turn out like this?"

206 Miss Witch and the Mind Reading Technique

In order to allow more guests to visit the Jinkola settlement, the banshee Clena chose to leave on her own initiative. In this way, without the banshee's presence, the bad reviews about the Jinkola settlement gradually subsided.

It is worth mentioning that the goblins do this not to make money. They are not overly crazy about money. The dungeon of Kilmalek is the best example. Human merchants think that the goblins are guarding huge wealth but not using it, but the goblins have neither this idea nor the need to get rich quickly.

The fat fairies of Jinkola hope that more people will come, simply because they want everyone to taste the delicious food. Jinkola’s food is inexhaustible. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to share it to bring happiness to everyone?

The fat fairies were sincerely saddened by Clena's self-exile. In their minds, Clena should not be missing from the happy puzzle.

"It's decided. I'm going to help Clena."

"Really? Thank you so much."

"The help you're talking about may not be the same help... By the way, Coppelia, this isn't what we came to Kinkola for, right?"

The person who agreed immediately was not Angelica but Coppelia. Angelica knew a little about Coppelia's social circle and knew that Coppelia once had a friend who was a banshee.

Although the banshee friend of Coppelia is no longer alive, when she encounters a banshee who has suffered injustice again, Coppelia will show a different enthusiasm than before.

"Going to check on the Banshee first won't affect our search for the Golden Dawn."

"I know Coppelia doesn't want to see the Banshee suffer prejudice again, but Anna is also very important to me. We should help Anna first..."

"Banshees are all very cute girls, right?"

"It seems like I have to help."

How can a beautiful girl be left alone in an empty room... No, no, be wrongly accused? The righteous witch decided to go along to help.

Angelica agreed, so Anna naturally wouldn't object.

In the past, the fat fairies would ask for the rations brought by the guests and then take them to Clena on the mountain. Coppelia chose to let them take the initiative to find Clena. The naive fat fairies thought that Angelica and others were willing to make friends with Clena, and happily reminded them not to scare Clena because she was introverted.

After the meal, the group took the map provided by the fat goblins and headed towards the hill near Jinkola.

The distance was not far, and Angelica saw the cabin on the mountain soon. However, Coppelia obviously did not take the fat fairies' advice to heart and rushed up directly.

"Clena! We are here to see you~"

"Wait a minute, Coppelia, you'll scare Miss Clena."

"Okay... Clena! We won't hurt you, and we definitely won't take a single needle or thread from your family!"

"Isn't it more suspicious if you emphasize it deliberately?!"

Angelica covered Coppelia's mouth and winked at Anna.

Anna understood what he meant, tidied herself up a bit, then came to the door alone and knocked gently.

"Hello, Miss Clena. We are from the Kinkola settlement, introduced by the fairies. We have some things we want to give to you. If Miss Clena doesn't want to see us, we can leave the things outside the house."

It seemed that Anna's gentle words had a calming effect. After a while, the door of the wooden house opened a small gap.

"H-hello..."

"Excuse me, Miss Clena."

"I, I'm a little scared... In the past, everyone in the village came..."

"We want to meet Miss Clena. We apologize for causing trouble to Miss Clena."

"Well... it's a bit troubling..."

Just as the fat fairies said, the banshee Clena is a rather introverted fairy. Through the tiny gap, Anna could only vaguely see Clena's timid eyes.

"That...you...are not human...?"

Clena said this suddenly.

"Yes, I am an Automata, or a puppet."

Anna did not hide her identity, but she was curious about how Clena identified it. Unless Clena was actually a puppet master of Coppelia's level in private, it would be impossible for her to see through Anna's identity as an automatic humanoid in such a short time.

Seeing Anna admit it voluntarily, Clena became uneasy. Although Anna was tactful and did not ask any further questions, Clena still confessed everything to Anna.

"Actually... I have had a special ability since I was born. I can hear the voices in other people's hearts. But I can't hear your voice, so..."

"I see. Please rest assured, Miss Clena. We are only here to visit Miss Clena."

Anna suddenly realized that there is a kind of magic called mind reading, which can read the other person's thoughts. However, the condition for using mind reading is that there must be an environment without interference, and it requires extreme mental concentration. It is called a typical example of flashy magic: it is far from as good as expected to use.

Clena seems to have been born with the ability to read minds without any cumbersome restrictions. This may be related to the environment of the Fairy Island, but automatic humanoids with self-awareness do not fall within the scope of mind reading, because mind reading cannot be effective on animals and plants, and automatic humanoids will be judged as belonging to the category of animals and plants.

Anna's sincere attitude eased Clena's vigilance. After much hesitation, Clena decided to open the front door and welcome the guests. After all, the banshee is also a fairy. In the fairy's concept, it is extremely impolite to turn away guests from afar, and they may even feel guilty and unable to sleep at night.

Clena has long snow-white hair and the racial characteristics of a banshee: blue skin. The wings on their backs are shaped more like fish fins. Perhaps it is this appearance that is different from that of ordinary fairies that has given the banshees a bad preconceived impression, leading to rumors.

"Hello, I'm Clena..."

"My name is Coppelia, and I'm here to save Clena!"

"save……?"

Clena was extremely confused and could not understand what the white-haired girl who called herself Coppelia was saying, but she also could not hear Coppelia's thoughts. Could it be that Coppelia was also a puppet?

"I told you that you would scare others. My name is Angelica, nice to meet you."

They look exactly the same, but Angelica has black hair, and one can hear the inner voice of this Miss Angelica.

(Guhehehe… What a cute girl. I really want to eat her up.)

“………………I’m sorry! I’m not feeling well!”

Clena suddenly screamed and fled back to the cabin under the astonished eyes of the three people.

207 My Heart and My Actions Are Clear as a Mirror

"It's all your fault, Coppelia. You scared me."

Angelica, who was completely unaware of the situation, mercilessly blamed Coppelia, thinking that Coppelia's excessive enthusiasm had frightened Clena.

"Master...maybe it's not Lady Coppelia's problem."

"Eh?"

Anna whispered in Angelica's ear the information she had just learned.

"Mind reading? As I recall, this kind of magic has no effect on puppets. Anna and Coppelia are both puppets, so what Anna means is that my mind was read and Clena was scared away?"

"Miss Clena cannot understand the master's insight. What was the master thinking when he saw Miss Clena?"
