Witch

Her request was something that I was expecting.

“The people that played major roles in the escape have already gathered together and are acting as leaders for our small group, but we noticed the recover magic user was absent. We’ve already begun making preparations to leave the country. We didn’t want to leave the healer that helped us escape that prison designed by that noble mage.”

“And what do you plan on doing after you find this person?”

“If that person doesn’t mind, we’d like them to come with us. Even if we don’t find that person, we are willing to welcome both of you into our group. We’ve already spoken to the rest of our members and they know you were with us during the escape.”

“I see.”

“Are either of you the recovery magic user? Is it you, knight, or is it you?”

“Well, I wonder about that.”

“You don’t need to answer. I already know everything.”

“what does that mean?”

“My familiar saw everything. You are the recovery magic user.”

“You’ve been watching me?”

“You really are a kind person. You healed the Imperial Knight’s spy after she attacked him. Thanks to this, I was able to learn of your existence. You are our ally.”

“.”

Why is she even bothering to ask if she knows everything?

She mentioned her familiar, I wonder if her familiar is that large bird. No, it had to be there when I followed Mercedes-chan to the abandoned house. It has to be much smaller. In any case, I never thought someone would be watching me.

It’s possible this woman was watching Mercedes-chan rather than me. She holds the title of ‘Imperial Knight’ and had already spent a few days investigating before I followed her. It was just my own terrible luck that got me found out.

“How about it? Would you like to join us? The Great Thief seemed opposed to the idea but I absolutely want you to come with. Why don’t you both leave the Penny Empire and create a name for yourselves in a new place?”

The robed woman asked this while rubbing her cheek across Allen’s sausage.

This caused me to remember something. This woman, she was the one with her eyes removed in prison. She’s the woman that one guard called ‘the witch.’ Just by her mentioning her familiar, I know that she’s a skilled mage.

The robe that’s barely covering her body is also convincing me to join her.

“And what would you say if I refused?”
