98-98. Information

We do not know her, but we are here for the Witch of Life. Where are you, Witch of Life?

What do you want?

I have come to ask you to break this curse on me. You must know something about this, don't you?

A curse?　There's no such thing as a master putting a curse on you. He's not that kind of person.

You'll know I'm cursed when you see me!

?

Luli nods her head.

'Anyway, it's not like we're here to talk, and I'll take you to a warm place. Please follow me.

Luli said and walked off.

'Where do you think you're going?'

It's home.

Home?　

You're building a house in the middle of these mountains?

After following them for a while, they arrived in front of a rock wall with intricate writing written all over it.

Luli took care of the rock wall.

Then the wall began to move, creating an entrance.

"This is home.

Luli said and walked in, so we went inside too.

The moment we all entered, the entrance was sealed off.

Inside was a narrow path.

It's probably magic or something, but it's not dark because there are lights on the ceiling.

Once inside, it suddenly became warm.

Raina let out a pleasant voice, "Nya in paradise~".

After walking for a while, there was a door.

Luli opened the door and moved on.

We followed Luli.

''This is........''

I was surprised to see the scene beyond the door.

It's a large circular room.

There is a mysterious sphere floating in the middle of the room, some kind of cat-like creature with wings, a large number of bookshelves, and several devices with unknown uses, it is certainly a room that looks like a witch lives.

The same is true of Meku, who can use magic, but she too seems to have most of the things in her room with no known purpose, and she also let out her thoughts on what this room is.

''Well, come to think of it, I haven't heard your name except for the one who is supposed to be a master.''

I am not a sham. I am Meku. Meku Samaforce.

My name is Tetsuya Takahashi.

"Rainier.

We each introduced ourselves.

''My name is Luri. I became my master's apprentice about ten years ago. I was very young and five years old at the time. By the way, my race is human. Just like Takahashi-san.

So, I have gone looking for your master. Is he not here?

Yes, he's not here now. He left a while ago and hasn't been back since.

But this time the information is from my apprentice, and it's more accurate than the other two. Next time we'll find her. And where is the Witch of Life now?

He said he was going on a vacation to a place called Moen Island.

Where is that?

'Well...'

Luli brought out a map and pointed to an island to the south.

'Here it is,'

This is it?　

'If it takes a long time, is there any chance that the life witch will be back here and misplaced while you're gone?

Mmm....

Luli hadn't even been there for a year in the first place, he said.

It was doubtful if she was still on Moen Island.

''Why don't you just wait here?　I didn't know anyone and I, I was a little bored. I think mooching Meku all the time will help to distract me from the loneliness of not having a master.

You said you were going to wait a year. Did you tell him when you would return?

I was told that he would come back sooner or later, but he hasn't come back yet... I used to be away from home for three years. But I'm sure he will come back.

Nuh-uh.

If we wait here, I don't know how much longer we'll have to wait.

We're torn between the two of us.

We don't want to get mishandled, but there's also the problem of having to wait for so long.

I don't think I should go. We don't know when he'll be back even if we wait here, or if he's really on the island, but even if he's gone, there's a good chance that he's still on the island, because he was there recently.

I think I should be there.

Well, I'm working with them.

So I guess that means we're going.

'Er, yeah. Won't you let me fluff you up?

Luli looks disappointed.

'Thanks for the information this time. I suppose I should be thanking you for something...

I mean, I don't need to stay up all day. Just let me goof off for one day.

What?

'I think it would make me feel a little better about being lonely for one day. Please.

....

Meku felt he should thank her, but he couldn't refuse her request, and he was forced to mooch all day long in a quiet manner.
