Awkward Toes on the Floor

Having added the two spells to her repertoire, Su Ran finally remembered that the Blood Hunters weren’t the only source for acquiring magic.

‘In Isa’s world, I could look for spells that suit me. I’m a witch myself, so making such a request to Lecy isn’t too much to ask, right?’

Thus, while Yuan Shirui was pushing her towards the parking lot, Su Ran directly opened the Witch Game on her phone.

She saw Canlisa, in a rare human form, clinging to Isa’s arm and acting spoiled.

“Big sister Isa, tell me more about what happened to Lady Primordial Witch afterward! Did she encounter any other dangers?”

Hearing Canlisa’s words, Su Ran finally remembered that Canlisa had become a casual believer last night, and she still hadn’t asked her what she had experienced.

With Canlisa clinging to her arm, and another hand holding a basket, Isa could only gently coax her.

“I’ll tell you the story a little later. Big sister has things to do right now.”

“What things?”

Su Ran’s body, condensed from magic essence, floated to Isa’s side.

Her sudden appearance drew the gazes of the nearby witches.

However, after getting a clear look at Su Ran, they all grew bolder, stealing glances at her from the corners of their eyes.

Su Ran’s identity as a witch, and the fact that she had forced back Ken of the Roland Chamber of Commerce, had already been spread throughout the entire Witch’s Society through a magic recording, under Lecy’s instruction.

Philly and Maimai, who had returned with Su Ran, were even approached by witches they knew, asking about how they had met.

Ignoring the gazes of the other witches, Su Ran, who had come to Isa’s side, smoothly took the basket full of herbs from her hand.

“What do you plan to do with these herbs?”

Su Ran remembered that Isa still had quite a few potions made with her witch ability.

She shouldn’t need to make more with herbs for a while.

“Isn’t the Church’s army coming to Tukulu soon? Big sister Isa wants to help the Witch’s Society prepare more healing potions. Big sister Lecy had someone give these herbs to big sister Isa.”

Since Isa had already promised to continue telling her the story, Canlisa transformed back into a white cat and stood on Isa’s shoulder, answering for her.

“Isa is truly kind.”

Canlisa’s explanation made Su Ran understand Isa’s thoughts.

She hoped to contribute her part, to help her injured companions survive.

Hearing this, Isa looked away, her fair teeth biting her lip as a blush appeared on her face.

She whispered, “Your Highness overpraises me. I’m just doing what I can.”

“I was thinking that I might not be good at fighting, but if my witch ability can help them, that would be great. After all, this is the only organization on the continent that openly takes in witches.”

Isa couldn’t bear to see a sanctuary for witches be trampled by the Theocracy’s army.

“Don’t worry, Lecy will surely make suitable arrangements.”

Remembering the retreat plan Lecy had formulated before she arrived, Su Ran wasn’t worried that she didn’t have other plans.

Su Ran herself didn’t interfere too much with Lecy’s choices.

For her, if the person leading the team was just Yuffie, Su Ran wasn’t worried at all.

On the contrary, the people from the Roland Chamber of Commerce were of greater concern to Su Ran.

They had a Sequence Six.

A temporary retreat would certainly not make him give up so easily.

The Witch’s Society remaining in Tukulu would definitely draw the flames of war here.

Now it all depended on how Lecy planned to handle this problem.

‘By the way, Isa, I just heard Canlisa ask you to tell her a story. What kind of story?’

‘To be able to make Canlisa become a casual believer, the key might be hidden in this story.’

After Su Ran asked the question, Isa felt her face rapidly heating up.

‘What should I do? In front of Your Highness, how should I explain what I told Canlisa!’

The stories Isa told Canlisa could actually be summed up quite simply, roughly divided into two categories.

One was the interesting anecdotes the Primordial Witch encountered while creating the witches, and the other was the story of the

Primordial Witch protecting the plane and fighting enemies.

The stories she told Canlisa were all processed by Isa from the bits and pieces of legends circulating in the world.

As a result, Canlisa listened with great relish and said she wanted to hear more, and now Her Highness Su Ran was asking about it.

Isa’s mood at this moment was probably like that of an author of fanfiction meeting the original character in person, so embarrassed that her ten fair toes were curling into the floor.

“My lady, big sister Isa told me many stories about your past last night! Sob sob sob…”

Seeing that Canlisa was about to speak, Isa, ignoring the burning heat on her face, quickly reached out to stop her from continuing.

Su Ran gave Isa a strange look.

‘Canlisa is just talking about what happened last night. Is such a big reaction necessary?’

‘Stories about my past?’

Although Isa covered Canlisa’s mouth, Su Ran still heard her say that phrase.

Hearing those words, Su Ran had a sudden epiphany, as if the fog obscuring her vision had been cleared.

She called up the mission description again.

[Due to years of persecution by the Church, the witches have lost their faith in the Primordial Witch. Rebuild the witches’ faith, and have one pious believer and fifty casual believers.]

The key to the mission was not the Primordial Witch, but “Rebuild the witches’ faith!”

Who the object of this faith was didn’t matter.

It could be the Primordial Witch…

…so why couldn’t it be herself?

Since Isa and Canlisa were talking about her past deeds, it meant that she could also have believers.

Then she just needed to make the members of the Witch’s Society believe in her, and this mission could be easily completed!

Thinking of this, Su Ran suddenly felt that this mission wasn’t so difficult after all.

And the standard for a casual believer didn’t seem to be high.

Since Canlisa could reach the standard after listening to her stories for one night, it probably wasn’t too hard.

“Ahem, Isa, when you tell Canlisa our story tonight, let’s call Maimai and Philly over too. It’s more lively with more people.”

To verify if her idea was correct, Su Ran planned to call Philly and Maimai over first.

They had spent a considerable amount of time with her and would surely become her casual believers easily.

Then she could slowly develop more believers in the Witch’s Society.

The same words, however, meant something completely different to Isa.

‘Our story!?’

‘Does Her Highness Su Ran mean I should tell the story of how we met?’

Thinking of this, a blush crept onto Isa’s fair skin, gradually climbing up her swan-like neck.

Even her earlobes couldn’t escape the crimson hue, which inadvertently spread to her cheeks.

“Your Highness, I will definitely tell our story exactly as it happened.”

Isa stared at Su Ran’s figure with infatuation, almost drunk with emotion.
