Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

”How come this person’s blood is rainbow-colored?”

While Flossie was complaining, Seraphina had already used Abundant Magic to turn the Dreamwalker’s corpse into nourishment for the earth.

First-tier Abundant Magic, [Return to Earth]. This was the same magic Loren had used to dispose of corpses before. It was an excellent method for destroying evidence.

This magic was originally intended for handling corpses to prevent viruses, but it ended up becoming the go-to spell for corpse disposal and evidence destruction. Perhaps the developer of this magic never imagined this outcome.

”The blood of Dreamwalkers is always this incredibly rich, multicolored hue.”

”How does a lowly person from the Uridia Kingdom know such things? Matters concerning Divine Envoys are secrets even within that Church, especially the envoys of the most mysterious God of Dreams.”

”And also, how did you even determine she was a Dreamwalker?”

After dealing with the corpse, Seraphina prepared to head back. Flossie kept following behind her, pressing for answers. In the end, Seraphina just turned around and gave a smile:

”I can read minds. I already told you.”

”...”It sounded ridiculous, but Flossie had witnessed Seraphina’s abilities more than once now, leaving her no choice but to believe it.

Earlier in the carriage, the balloon sword she had twisted was genuinely functional as a real sword. Flossie had originally intended to use that sword to ambush Seraphina, but Seraphina actually went ahead and used it.

Moreover, the sword Flossie conjured from a balloon was, at best, only slightly stronger than a regular sword. Yet Seraphina had effortlessly used that very sword to slay a Divine Envoy—and the most mysterious type, a Dreamwalker, at that.

That Dreamwalker probably never imagined in her entire life that she would die in such an ignoble, humiliating way.

”Dispose of this sword.”

Seraphina tossed the balloon sword to Flossie. Flossie immediately popped the balloon sword with her fingernail. Once back in Flossie’s hand, the balloon sword reverted to an ordinary sword.

”You’ve accomplished a great feat. Don’t you want to go claim credit from the master? Maybe he’ll give you a kiss.”

”Now is not the time.”

As she replied, Seraphina had already pressed the doorbell. She straightened her clothes and adjusted her smile. When Loren opened the door, he saw the most perfect version of her.

”Just being mysterious and theatrical...”

Flossie muttered a complaint, then followed Seraphina into Loren’s new home.

”This place is huge! Master, can we have our own rooms?”

Once inside, Flossie looked around the interior of the house and exclaimed.

”You can pick any room you like. However, it’s best if you usually stay together. With the protective talisman I gave Seraphina, its effects are maximized when you’re all in close proximity.”

”We... we can really have our own rooms?”

Loren’s villa was located in the Royal Capital’s prime district. For Corolla, having her own room in such a place was something she had never dared to imagine before. Even with her current salary, achieving this would be extremely difficult.

”Of course.”

Loren responded with a smile. After chatting with the maids for a bit, Loren returned to his laboratory. His research on Night Magic had reached its final stage; he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

The moment they entered the new home, Seraphina got straight to work, entering her professional mode. Seeing her being so diligent, the other two maids felt they couldn’t just idle around either. After putting down their luggage, they joined in the work.

The rooms they chose were also relatively small and remote ones—the servant quarters built into the villa. Even so, their treatment was exceptionally good, as these servant quarters were originally designed for multiple people to share a single room.

Everyone was occupied with their own tasks. Luna went to Anna’s room and explained her wish for Anna to give her lessons.

”Wait a moment. I need to prepare some teaching materials. The things from home haven’t been moved over yet. I’ll go find Mirrorheart first.”

”What does teaching materials have to do with Mirrorheart...”

Luna muttered a complaint, then watched as Anna hurriedly ran off to Mirrorheart’s room. When Anna returned, she was carrying several books.

”Ahem, let’s start with biology...”

Anna opened the manga she had gotten from Mirrorheart. At first, Luna watched attentively, but before Anna had flipped through many pages, Luna began to feel afraid.

If she hadn’t previously seen quite a few dead bodies while following Loren, she would definitely have been scared off by now.

”Is this really a textbook? Teaching about organs doesn’t need to be this... bloody and gory, does it?”

”This makes it more realistic. Plus, it helps you remember it more vividly.”

If the goal was to leave a deep impression, this book certainly achieved it. Luna estimated that if she had nightmares tonight, they’d probably feature content from this book.

”And also, why are the main characters Master Mentor and Mirrorheart... Would Master Mentor do something so cruel?”

”Mirrorheart drew this book. She knows herself well, so it’s normal for her to use herself as the protagonist...”

”And also...”

”Are you here to learn, or are you here to be a question machine?”

Luna wanted to ask about other things, but Anna directly cut her off. In the end, Luna obediently sat beside Anna and listened to Anna’s lesson.

As the lesson progressed, Luna’s expression kept changing—sometimes bashful, sometimes excited, sometimes terrified. By the time Anna finished teaching, Luna felt like her soul was about to float away.

On one hand, the knowledge Anna shared was far too profound for Luna. On the other hand, the teaching materials were simply too horrifying.

And Anna could even manage to explain things to her while eating snacks. This kind of mental fortitude made Luna deeply admire her.

Compared to Anna, she herself still seemed a bit too immature. Luna couldn’t help but feel a wave of intense shame.

Anna’s lesson ended just as dinnertime arrived. Seraphina called everyone down to eat.

”I’ve taught you all the theory. As for the practical part, I can’t help you. It depends on your own performance.”

Before rushing down to eat, Anna emphasized this point to Luna.

In Anna’s eyes, this matter even took precedence over food. Luna couldn’t help but feel deeply moved, swearing to herself that for the rest of her life, she would treat Anna well and regard her as her own.

”I understand...”

Luna acknowledged, then followed Anna downstairs.

Since this was Seraphina’s first time cooking here, she had prepared an exceptionally lavish meal. Anna immediately began devouring it heartily.

”I have no appetite...”

Seeing the meat on the dining table brought back some unpleasant memories for Luna. After eating a few bites of vegetables, she returned to her room.

”What’s wrong with her?”

Seeing that Luna hadn’t eaten much, Loren casually asked.

”Don’t know. Maybe she’s saving room in her stomach to eat something else later.”

Anna responded, her words muffled as her mouth was stuffed with food.

”As if everyone is like you...”

Loren casually remarked, then caught sight of the meaningful smile on Anna’s face.
