"I don't snore! No, I'm not a pig!"

A silly cry resounded throughout the schoolhouse, and although it was easy to know who had made it, Irina had to admit that it did relieve a lot of the tension and heaviness that was currently quite for her.

It's long time to continue studying, but Teacher Rosie has no intention of getting up to teach, maybe she's worried about Alice, who has not had any energy since the morning, and this nuanced consideration is indeed in line with Rosie's personality.

However, this also says one thing at the same time - Rosie has discovered the anomaly of Alice, Luna, and of course Irina from the beginning. Therefore, Irina, who was sitting in silence with Rosie at the moment, was thinking about her next move with little time left.

can be said in the open light, the "shadow in the night" I encountered last night and the suspicion in my heart that I am afraid still needs to be considered and thought about before I can confide.

"Ma'am, a magician broke into the mansion last night. ”

When the beads of sweat on her face finally slipped down because of nervousness, Irina also bluntly provoked an explanation at the same time. There is no need to hide the intruder's affairs, these are things that can be told to the witch in front of you without any scruples to get help.

As for the rest, think about it later.

"Her magic is also special. Irina described calmly and succinctly, looking into Rosie's eyes. Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, you can only see "listening" and "gentleness" from there, these are the parts that belong to the "teacher", but the part of Rosie that belongs to the "witch" is not revealed at all.

Perhaps, this is what makes "witches" different from ordinary magicians. Lady Rosie is also a widely respected witch, but that doesn't mean all witches are like her. Like what...... For example, last night......

"Are you really, not misjudged?"

Rosie's voice brings Irina back to reality, and it seems that Rosie is no stranger to the intruder from last night. Just by learning about the "very restrained magician", it seems that he already has an eyebrow.

"You can't be wrong, I've experienced it myself. As if to strengthen her thoughts, Irina affirmed Rosie and herself, "Ma'am, please be sure to ...... Tell me what you can say. ”

"Even if you say that, that's only a small part of what I know. Rosie gave a rare look of embarrassment, "Because if that's right, the one who attacked you last night was probably the 'witch hunter' who was in the main city and was already full of wanted notices." ”

"Witch...... Hunter?"

Fresh words, which also made Irina frown. But I have to say that this "witch hunter" is really a description that fits the real situation. Judging by its agile reach and its grotesque ability to interrupt the chanting of the magician, this ability to completely restrain the magician is indeed worthy of the term "hunter".

"Yes, witch hunter. It's been gone for a while, but it looks like it's been active again. Rosie nodded, "No one knows what she's trying to do, and of course there's a reason why almost no one can catch the clue." The only thing that can be judged is that she is not just a 'witch' hunter, as long as it is magic, she will probably harass her when she wants to harass her. Most of the time it's just a 'hello', but there have been cases where a magician's book has been taken away. ”

Storybooks can be said to be the life of the magician, even if you hold a replica, you can be proud. Of course, when they were taken away, the emotions of the victims at that time could be clearly imagined.

Since this "witch hunter" didn't do anything hurtful, did she hang out in the mansion before, did she fall in love with Alice or the book she carried? If she really focused on this, I'm afraid that her life would be very difficult in the future. Guests who don't know their whereabouts and don't know when they will "come" will make the host unable to even "wait for the rabbit".

"It's not something that should be hidden, at least we should inform Letty about it. I remember that the heat holiday is about to begin, and Irina can take this opportunity to leave this too remote place with Alice to take shelter for a while. I'll also set off for the main city of Majette to make a countermeasure, and now that the wanted witch hunter has appeared, it's time to start the hunt again. ”

Rosie said as she stood up, though the short but meaningful conversation was over and Irina had been given a part of what she wanted to know, but it was only part of it. Rosie must have been hiding something, and since she knew exactly how the witch hunter acted and the impact it had on her, she couldn't be wrong. If it hadn't been for the thought of it in the crowded bed last night, Irina would have forgotten a certain suspicion long ago.

"Wait! Ms. Rosie. Last night......" Irina chased after her, even though Rosie didn't seem interested in continuing the conversation anymore. At this time, Irina finally noticed a little bit of the feelings that Rosie showed that belonged to the "witch" and not the "teacher", however, this was not a reason to retreat.

"The witch hunter's magic and the weapons she carries with her are somewhat similar to the stories and admonitions of a certain family. ”

The "magic messenger" who deliberately targets the magician, yes, Alice also mentioned such a special "family" before, and the "storybook" they circulated.

"Lady Rosie, is that ......?"

"Irina. Rosie turned her head, her smile still as gentle as ever, but it made Irina immediately choose to give up the question, "They have completely denied it, so we can't just suspect it without evidence, let's go and sit down." ”

“...... Be. ”

Silently walking away from Rosie, who was slowing down, Irina unconsciously clenched the book on her chest. It was hot, but she couldn't feel the hot air at all.

Getting to the bottom of things is necessary at some point, but it's not always pleasant. Respect for Rosie is partly occupied, but there is also a partly reason that forces Irina to give up.

That's a reason that must be followed, and since Lady Rosie has forcibly dissociated herself from the witch hunter and the family, it would be good to try to believe it completely. Moving the starting point away from what you think is the right place may also avoid a lot of situations. But anyway......

Since this witch hunter has appeared, and it disturbs the most normal and warm life of the mansion, there is no need to be merciful next time you meet it. Even if she could interrupt the chanting of the magician, even if she jumped up and down with the agility of a monkey, but ......

As long as the action is not aimed at killing the other party, it will always have a fatal weakness. Scold...... I'm looking forward to seeing you next time.

A "kind" witch hunter.
