A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 12: I Found a Test Subject!

How about this, I'm lost.

My mom is sick and can't work. Papa hasn't come home yet.

If this continues, Mama, Mama might die!

Because of our poor family, we could not afford to buy medicine from a pharmacist.

My dad is an adventurer. Papa always comes home with money. But one day Papa never came home.

Because our money is running low, Mama has to work.

I don't know what Mama's job is, but every day there must be a man who comes home and is alone with Mama in the room.

After that there must have been voices heard from inside the room.

I don't know what they're doing, but after that Mama's got the money.

Now, Mama is sick and can't work.

In order for Mama to recover quickly, I intend to find medicinal materials in the forest.

Since I didn't know what plants I should take, I took all the plants that were similar to the ones papa had shown me.

While avoiding the monstrous Mobs that were roaming around, I continued to pick up the materials I found.

Without realizing it, I was lost.

The place I am now is very dark.

"Uhh... Chilly"

I want to have warm clothes like the other kids. Mom doesn't have money to buy it. The clothes are now also torn and full of fillings.

Grrrr....

Huh, what is it!

The mobs? Papa says Mobs should hide!

Since there was no other choice, I just hid behind a thick tree. I was just sitting there hoping that horrible Mobs would leave immediately. Without realizing it, I was crying.

"Hicks... Hicks..."

As a boy, I can't cry.

But... But. I'm scared!

I could only cry in silence. Afraid that if I make a sound, I will attract the attention of the monstrous Mobs.

Papa once said, if in the forest it is dangerous so it should not be noisy.

Mama also said that I was too young to go into the forest because it was dangerous.

But, for Mama's sake, I...

"Oh, what does a kid do in a place like this?"

When I didn't know what else to do, I heard someone greet me.

As I turned away, I saw an older sister in a conical hat looking at me with her blazing purple eyes and a gentle smile on her face.

Despite smiling, for some reason, this brother looked creepy.

But, it was possible that this big brother was an Adventurer who came to this forest to hunt. Then I can ask for help.

"Hicks... Sis, I'm lost..."

"Pity... Hey, how about going to my sister's house first? The place is not far from here. I'll give you an apple, will you?"

Hearing the offer from this kind brother, I obeyed him as well.

...

As I expected, the western part of the forest is much more dangerous than the rest of the forest.

In addition to the cold and dark atmosphere, Mobs who inhabited this place was much different from the previous one.

But, if (Poisonous Snake) is still mending, isn't (Poisonous Spider) the weakest Mobs in this forest?

I mean, they have a dangerous poison.

Just so, as long as no biting is no problem, right?

How many times have I stepped on Mobs. Yes their own fault is small so hard to squirm.

Forget it, the Mobs that should be wary of are not them, but rather (Forest Bear) that can be easily found in this place.

If I use my usual skills, I can easily defeat them.

It's just that I'm currently training my [Light Magic] and [Wind Magic].

The reason was simple, their levels were too low!

(Light Control) (Wind Blow) (Light Shoot) (Wind Slice)

This is the combo I wear often. It also sometimes has to be repeated many times just to beat one tail (Forest Bear).

But at least I can get (Forest Bear's Hide). I can have a good carpet.

In addition, I can also get new materials such as (Paralyze Root), (Magical Herb), and (Honey).

For (Honey) I got it from the nest (Forest Bee).

Honestly they are troublesome, if not for (Wind Blow) being quite effective against them, I would have already fired [Fire Magic] without caring if this forest was on fire.

•[Light Magic] has reached level 5. Get 1 1•

•(Light Lance) and (Light Heal) from [Light Magic]•

•[Wind Magic] has reached level 10. Get 1 1•

•[Wind Shield) from [Wind Magic]•

•[Appraisal] has reached level 10. Get 1 1•

Finally got healing magic!!!

Even so, I have never been injured (The [Alchemy] experiment is not included) as I would rarely use this magic.

Whoo! Whoo!

"Huh? Little kid?"

How could there be a child in the middle of a forest like this? Child lost?

A child lost, in the middle of the forest, and I am a Witch!

Okay, let's kidnap that poor kid!

...

"Look, there's my sister's house, okay?"

"Gee... Big sister's house is huge..."

Haha... Finally I could feel the scene of 'Evil Witches abducting a child' directly.

When I first saw this child, I felt like I was looking at a wooden branch rather than a child.

He was a boy about 6-8 years old.

His body is thin but his stomach is distended a sign of malnutrition. The clothes he was wearing were tattered and much more appropriate to be called a doormat than clothes.

I found her crying in fear under the shadow of a tree.

When I saw this, the first thing that came into my head was...

Ah... What kind of experiment would I do with this kid!

"Please drink, you're thirsty"

"Thank you brother"

After that I started listening to the story of this little boy.

From the story, he came from the village of Shrew. A remote village close to the city of Gata which is also a dumping ground for criminals and delinquents from all over the country.

His father was an Adventurer(?) Which is now dead. Her mother was a prostitute.

The great thing was, this kid was too innocent to realize how devastated his family was.

With her background like this, there was no other reason for me not to use it well. I mean, does anyone want to bother looking for a poor lost child?

In fact, maybe his mother will thank him for lightening his load.

Haha... O little boy I do not know his name, be happy, from now on you are mine!

"Oh, the tea's over. Here's my sister refills again"

"Thank you, big brother, nice guy"

"Haha... You welcome"

All right, just mix it up and it's all done.

...

When I woke up, I was already in a very dark room. Even though I opened my eyes, I still felt like I was closing my eyes.

"W-what's this? T-rope?"

Not only that, my hands and feet were bound in the air.

I don't know why, I feel like a clothesline.

How did this happen?

What did I do until I got treated like this?

Remember what happened recently... Uh!

I remember now.

When I was lost in the woods, a good brother helped me and invited me to his house.

After being given tea and telling my story, I can't remember anything anymore.

What happened, who did this, is Big Brother okay?

"Oh... It seems you're awake..."

"This voice, brother! Is my sister okay?!"

"Haha... Hahaha.... Ahahahahaha...!!!"

All I hear now is laughter. The sound of a terrible laughter and ear-shattering. Just hearing it was enough to make my mind mess up.

"Ka... Sis?"

"Haha... Very amusing... I can't believe there's a kid this stupid"

Pa!

Instantly the entire room was illuminated by a torch light that lit itself. Thanks to that I can now see quite clearly.

I was in a room made entirely of stone. What binds my hands and feet is not a rope, but a kind of vines that fasten and hang me at the end of the room.

In the middle of the room, there was the figure of the older sister I had met.

However, he was not a kind brother.

The one before me right now is a woman far from being kind.

His eyes looked down on me in pleasure.

The smile on his face seemed to be enjoying the whole situation.

"Sister... Why?"

"Why, did you say why? Isn't it obvious! You, now, are, mine"

"What did you say!"

"From today, you are my toy, my experiment, and my source of pleasure"

"Why? Why is my sister doing this? I thought brother was a good person?"

"Haha... How can you still be this stupid? Did your parents never teach you not to trust strangers? Oh, sorry. I forgot that your mother was busy serving drunk men and your father died a long time ago"

"A... What did you say?!"

After that I no longer understood what the brother was saying.

However, one thing I do know. Since then, my life has been over.

My brother always hurt me just to heal me.

Brother then forced me to drink various kinds of strange drinks.

One drink made my blood boil. The other drinks made my body numb. While the others made me feel like hugging my sister at any cost.

No matter how severe the hurt and pain I feel, big brother will always heal me. Even so, there are wounds that take a long time to heal or even still not healed until now.

This pain, I don't want to feel it anymore.

Mama, papa, please....
