2. The rules of the trial
Amy closed her eyes and accepted the "gift" brought to her by this sudden witch without reservation, and she couldn't refuse, and she couldn't refuse at all. Because compared to a witch, she's probably just a creature as small as a bug.
After a burst of light that could be felt even when she closed her eyes, Emilia finally waited for the witch's order with her eyes closed.
"Welcome to the Witch's Tea Room. You can already open your eyes, Amilia. ”
The Witch's Tea Room ...... Ah, that sounds like something I yearn for.
Amy opened her eyes, and it was something she had never imagined when she was growing up. The glittering hall was adorned with dazzling ornaments, whether it was the portraits on the walls, the lines that dotted the air, and even the hanging chandelier was something Amy had never seen before.
After that, there are three "witches" who sit on the luxurious seats, and there is only one of them that Amy can be sure of as the real "witch".
She is sipping tea without caring about it, and she is completely different from the witch who brought her here, but she is very similar. They look like they've stepped out of a mirror, but the atmosphere around them is completely different. If the witch next to her will give herself sugar-coated poison, then the witch who tastes tea will choose to give herself death more directly.
In addition, there are two girls who look about their own age, but they don't look like witches. The blonde one was giving himself a very soft gaze, as if to cheer himself up. The red-haired one didn't even look at it. Seems to have been immersed in her own world.
Behind them was probably the so-called "servant", although she was eating dessert on the table and did not look like a servant at all.
It all looks so impactful, but it's not annoying. But why......
"Amy?"
Amy heard her father's snort. And the little courage that had been mustered up with great difficulty faded in a moment.
It's terrible, it's terrible, my father's questioning, my mother's sneer. Why, isn't it a test for yourself? Why do you see your father and mother? This also ...... It's too hard, isn't it?
"Why is she here?"
"Well, well, don't get excited, sir." Just when Amy was already shaking. The witch next to her circled around and began to relieve her, although this method also frightened Amy.
"Anyone who is enlightened can come to our trials, and so does our lovely Amilia. You're so excited. Do you have any opinion on our choice? ”
The witch laughed, it was beautiful, it was terrible. "Or do you have the right to express your displeasure with me?"
"Nope. Don't dare ......"
Father conceded defeat!? But before Amy had time to think about it. The witch's laughter resounded in the tearoom.
"Heheha The witch bowed slightly, "Then before this trial begins, I, Lis, will introduce you to the rest." First of all, please turn your attention to this witch who is smart, but much worse than me. ”
The witch's voice echoed, something Amy had never heard before. The new world made her nervous and excited, who had only been hovering at the lowest level of refining. It was a tremor that could not be stopped even if you tried to suppress it.
"She's my sister Mia. Is it also the judge of this trial? It's useless to try to please her, so be careful of being hated because of it? ”
The witch exaggerates the introduction of every "person" who makes Mia feel terrified. "These two are the audience who came to participate this time, how can such a beautiful trial not exist without the existence of the audience? And the one who was working on the cookies I baked was a real demon, huh? Sixth Demon Belusep, come and show our contestants your power! ”
"No, no time."
The petite demon shook his head, still not stopping.
Belusep, isn't that the demon that represents "gluttony"?
"So! That's the end of the brief introduction. ”
The witch's high-pitched voice interrupted Amy's thoughts, "Let's get into the preparation stage of the trial, where is it...... Well, hahaha, then choose where our lovely Emilia would most like to stay! ”
Yourself, where do you most want to stay?
Isn't that the memory of a long, long time ago, and I'm afraid I'll always remember it? No, why choose there!? It is not to be defiled! Why......
"Witch !!"
Amy yelled as hard as she could, but no matter what she thought about, there was no room to turn back. The original teahouse was gradually swept into nothingness, replaced by a deserted amusement park, and the dilapidated iron door was creaking, irritating Amy's eardrums.
"What's the matter, my lovely Amilia, do you have any opinion on my thoughtful choice?"
The witch approached Emilia, and after receiving no reply, she smiled again, "Then before the trial begins, let me and my dear sister explain the rules of the trial to the three of you." Be sure to follow it strictly, otherwise...... The witch will be very angry. ”
"Is this the kind of thing going to trouble me too?" The witch named Mia stood up, and she looked a little reluctant at the moment.
"It's so ruthless, my sister." The witch named Liz smiled very happily, and the two had diametrically opposite attitudes, "Obviously, it's okay for us to love each other more, right?" So let's get started, the rules that need to be followed and mentioned in this trial of what you love? ”
"Whew, forget it."
Mia's cold voice sounded, and no matter how flustered Amy was, she had to hold her breath and listen to every detail.
"First, Liz swore in the name of the witch that the trial was absolutely fair, and Mia swore in the name of the witch that the trial was absolutely fair. The three who have given up their lives to us must also be absolutely fair, or they will be eliminated from this trial. ”
"Second, I swear in the name of the witch that I will definitely give you what the three people want?" Unlike Mia's coldness, Liz's words were much softer, though no one knew how many terrible tricks were hidden in them.
"Except for what the lovely Emilia hasn't thought of yet, the two of you are asking for supreme magic, and I can definitely satisfy you, right? As for Amilia, I'll tell you when you've thought about it, I'm not as rigid as my sister, right? ”
Third, everything here is fictional, and any "reality" that happens will not be carried over to the original world. After a pause, Mia showed a sneer that was diametrically opposed to Lis's, "Of course, including death. ”
"Finally, it's time for the beginning, I'm going to give the three of you infinite magic and your maximum potential at the beginning, so please don't skimp on magic and do your best to win. As for what counts as victory......"
What is victory?
Amy looked at her, knowing that her parents couldn't wait to find the answer to that question at the moment. But......
The witch laughed, not only Lis, who had always loved to laugh, but even Mia, who had been a smiling girl before, laughed cruelly along with her sister.
It's creepy, but I can't help but want to find out.
"A victory is a victory." It was Mia who said the result, a real witch, "Only the last person who survives can be considered a victory." And finally, the one who survives. ”
"If your love for magic can't even sustain you in killing the people who stand in your way, then what's the point of yearning?"
It was Liz who made a brutal addition, the real witch, "Then now I declare...... The trial of love, which can get the things you love, starts now!? (To be continued......)
