Chapter 153 – The Witch

“What did you talk about?”
The blond-haired elf, who was enjoying himself with French fries, Coke, and a bulgogi burger, asked.
When I came here, my inventory was filled to the brim.
However, if the three of us continue to eat like this with these gluttonous elves, we will eventually run out.
However, being her man her and blaming them for eating a lot would hurt their pride.
In preparation for that, I thought that if I stop by a big city, I should go on a food tour.
Future disasters needed to be prepared in advance.
She said, “She commissioned it while saying, “What a witch…. She said she thought about it.”
“Going to do?”
“No, we have to leave tomorrow.”
“Then why did you say you were thinking about it?”
“It’s a polite refusal.”
I don’t know if that would be understood in this world, but… It wasn’t something that people wouldn’t see tomorrow anyway.
“By the way, what do you mean witch?”
Luna seemed to be curious about the conversation I had with the village chief.
“They say there’s an evil witch living in the forest.”
“Wicked Witch?”
As if they were interested, their eyes were focused on me.
“Capturing the village youths, using them for evil magic experiments, extorting the village or something….”
I don’t remember it well because I spilled it, but….
I guess it was something like that.
“Dark magic!”
“Black magic?”
“The only evil magic is black magic! You have to check it out!”
“Right. We need to see if it’s real or not.”
I don’t know why.
Suddenly, the elves burned their sense of justice and went into a frenzy.
“…….What?”
Seeing them like that was just absurd.
“There are many times when people cross the line. In fact, there have been quite a few times when he almost brought the world to ruin.”
“About 800 years ago, a human black magician summoned the demon king of the underworld and almost destroyed the world.”
“Yeah, that’s right….”
“It is said that more than half of the elves died at that time. Of course, not only the elves, but most of the creatures in this world suffered considerable damage….”
“So… You’re confirming that?”
“Of course.”
“Absolutely.”
Heroes filled with a sense of justice who can’t adapt….
“Are only elves sensitive to things like this?”
As well as reacting to what I said appropriately about the Abyss Erosion Labyrinth and following along.
“No. Most races will check if there is anything that they think is related to the threat of the world or black magic.”
“…… Humans?”
“Humans have a short lifespan… It’s a long time for them to the extent that the story of that time has already been passed down like a legend.”
I’m not a human from this world, so there’s no need to feel guilty, right?
“So I want to check it out….”
The brown sauce of the Bulgogi Burger was smeared on their mouths as they nodded with serious eyes.

“I will take the request.”
To satisfy their sense of justice, I decided to take a different path for a while.
Originally, I was going to just ignore it and go.
She showed condescension to the village chief.
“Go, thank you.”
The village chief bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“If you follow the road east of the village, you will come across a mansion.”
“Is there a witch there?”
“Yes.”
A witch who lives in a mansion….
After hearing the village chief’s words, we headed to the witch’s mansion.
Neatly lined up on either side, I could see the forest and the surprisingly well-maintained road.
The floor is well made to match a modern sidewalk block. No, rather, this natural stone floor looked better.
If I had walked without knowing anything, I would have thought it was a well-made trail.
I must have walked for about an hour along the stone road.
As the village chief said, a huge mansion appeared.
It was too clean and big for a witch to live in. It was also a mansion that did not fit at all with the shabby village.
A neat stone wall.
And a beautiful garden beyond it.
In the middle of the garden, even the fountain where clear water gushed out… It was a garden that was constantly maintained, no matter who saw it.
Not an evil witch.
It just looked like a mansion where a high-ranking aristocrat was murdering.
“Is this… The house where the witch lives?”
“I don’t feel Margie.”
Seeing the unexpected sight, Luna also said with a confused face.
We passed through the beautiful garden and stood at the huge front door of the mansion.
‘Did the village chief get dirty? Or did we come to the wrong place? Is there another way?’
I opened my senses and looked inside the mansion.
However, as if something was blocking it, I couldn’t detect the information inside.
It was like… The nest of those monster wasps.
‘It’s suspicious.’
I grabbed the hook hanging on the door and knocked on the door of the mansion.
-Tung. Blank.
“……..”
After some time has passed.
-What’s going on?
A woman’s voice came from somewhere.
It was a surprisingly normal reaction for a witch.
“It’s like message magic.”
Luna looked around and said.
I can’t feel the presence… Are you looking somewhere?
“Is this where witches live?”
I just asked directly.
–Well… ? Are you an adventurer again? The word “Witch” Was given to them arbitrarily. I am the owner of this mansion. If you value your life, don’t come in. There is only one warning.
“I heard that you are a witch who preys on people with wicked magic.”
-No.
“No?”
-Those naughty bastards came to catch me because they wanted to catch me.
Although she said no, it was the same as the words proving that the witch the village chief had spoken of was her.
Her words were a bit different from the complaints of her village chief her.
Or was this witch lying… Either way didn’t matter.
That’s not what we’re going to check….
“Are you a warlock?”
The important thing was whether or not she used black magic.
-No.
“I said no?”
I shrugged and looked at the elves.
“I have to check.”
“Right. I can’t just trust her and go back.”
Ayla and Luna seemed unwilling to back down.
“I see. May I go inside?”
-No.
Her answer was mixed with displeasure.
The witch seemed very reluctant to let us into the mansion.
“Can’t you just give me a moment? Or will you come out?”
-Why me? Do I have to do that? Stop talking nonsense and go back.
There was no way that the elves, burning with a sense of justice, would listen to the witch quietly.
Of course, I was on the side of the lover rather than the witch.
“I’m sorry… But we can’t go back like this either.”
She was classy and put her hand on the big door and pushed.
Unexpectedly, the door was not locked and opened easier than expected.
We entered the mansion without hesitation.
Inside, the splendid hall of the mansion, as if drawn in a painting, greeted us.
– Still, I thought they were polite guys. You absolutely piss me off.
With those words of the witch, her son-in-law fell into darkness.

I was standing in the dark
Looking up and down, front and back, there was only black darkness.
Ayla and Luna, who had come together, were nowhere to be seen.
It is like this as soon as you enter the mansion.
I opened my senses and looked around.
Nothing caught.
I was just in the dark, so I couldn’t tell if my senses were blocked or if there really was nothing.
‘Did I look too easy?’
It was also not to my liking to stay still.
Once walked
But there was nothing and nothing caught.
After walking, I ran quickly this time.
It was a speed that most cars couldn’t even dare. I ran a considerable distance, but there was still nothing.
Whether there is an end or not.
Is it spinning around or not?
I felt stuffy.
‘It’s difficult.’
I didn’t feel a sense of danger or anything like that….
I couldn’t help but feel a little worried about Ayla and Luna who had separated from me.
‘Am I trapped in another dimension or space?’
Moving seemed meaningless.
He created a magic spear and threw it with all his might.
A magic window that disappears into darkness.
Even after waiting, there was no response.
Then, I suddenly came up with the only place where there would be a reaction.
‘…… If it’s this….’
He took out a huge hammer from his inventory.
In this darkness, there is a place that was the only one interacting with me.
He wrapped the hammer with magical power and raised it high.
And he slammed the floor with all his might.
-Bang!!
A roar echoed in this darkness-enveloped space.
The floor is the only place you can tap in this dark space. I don’t know if it works or not, but I decided to give it a try
There’s nothing else to do but this anyway.
-Bang! Bang!
I’ve been knocking on the floor for a while.
“Stop. No matter how much you beat it, it’s meaningless.”
It didn’t make any sense.
Now that the witch has appeared in this stuffy space with nothing….
The witch slowly emerged from the darkness.
Expressionless face.
Dark purple hair and eyes close to black.
She was an eye-opening beauty.
She was wearing an all-black outfit.
A black hat with a wide brim and a veil.
Black dress.
A black parasol engraved with a mysterious pattern that seems useless in this dark place.
Even the black gloved hand holding the parasol….
It was perfect.
It’s like a sheep’s house.
It was also like an antique funeral attire overseas.
‘Should I say that liking black is like a witch?’
