A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 14: The Lif
My name is Lif.
I am a Golem created by the Master to serve him.
My master's name is Lavender.
Master is a beautiful girl. Her skin was pale yet smooth without the slightest hint of stain. Her dark purple hair fluttered beautifully in the night breeze. His violet eyes shone brightly like the moonlight. Her beautiful veneer and blushing lips make anyone who sees her fall for her.
To be created by a Master as beautiful as this is a gift to me.
However, if I may ask, why isn't Master wearing this midnight outfit?
...
A week has passed since I was created. As always, I serve the Master with all my heart.
Unlike Master, I was able to know day and night thanks to the [Forest Whisper] skill that connected me to this forest.
Therefore, my most important task is to remind Master to eat and sleep.
The Master is often immersed in his research until the Master often forgets to eat or go to sleep.
Other than Master, I also have to feed the little boy that is Master's trial material. Child
it was very thin and could die at any time. However, with his magic Master was able to make the boy to continue living until now.
I was also in charge of commanding the Golems created by the other Masters.
Unlike me, they are only able to understand simple commands. Therefore, their job is simply to patrol or take care of the garden.
The master also has three familiar tails.
They belong to the species (Forest Owl). Of the three of them, only one Master gave a name.
His name was Glaza Demona. And he used to be in charge of overseeing the forest if there were no guests invited.
My other task is to meet the daily needs of the Master.
Like cooking, washing, and cleaning the house.
The Master House is quite special.
The master built this house from scratch using his own magic. It could be felt from the Mana Master that filled the entire part of this house.
Master is awesome.
"Oh, almost forgot. Lif, take off your shirt"
"Good"
No matter how dangerous or how strange the Master's request is, I as his servant am obliged to make it happen.
"Ehh... So it's there yah"
Master looked at my stomach. More precisely to the symbol of a pupil with three horns engraved on my belly button.
After that Master did not give orders for me to get dressed again. Thanks to that I continued to do my duty without wearing a single piece of clothing. I was just getting dressed when Master saw me about to feed the little boy who was under the basement. I quickly put on my clothes and continued my duties.
...
"Go to the city and sell everything inside here to the Union. Buy everything on this list. Oh, true. This is my ID card"
"Your command will be carried out"
After receiving a piece of paper containing a grocery list, and a card, I said my farewells and immediately headed towards the city.
Since I could hear the sound of plants, I could tell all the types and positions of Mobs around me.
And with the power that Master gave me when he created me, not a single Mobs in this part of the forest could afford to pose a threat to me.
If you're curious, this is my status.
Name : Lif
Race: Forest Golems, Female (1)
Occupation: Servant (Lavender)
Active Skill :
[Wood Magic 10] [Water Magic 5] [Soil Magic 5]
Passive Skill :
[Forest Whisper 10] [Mana Presence 5] [Magic Knowledge 5] [Plant Knowledge 10]
[Night Visions 5] [Housework 5]
Seeing this, I realized that this was nothing compared to Master.
But, this was more than enough to handle the Mobs living around here.
After I walked for about two more hours, I finally came out of the forest.
The sun is high in space.
From a distance you can see the sight of young Adventurers facing the Mobs living in the meadow.
Right behind them, there was a city full of activities.
...
Hm♪ Hm♪ Hm♪
It is true, day shift is the best.
Everywhere you can see the sight of young men trying hard. The streets are filled with people passing by. And most importantly, no one is creepy!
"Oh, you look happier than usual"
"Of course, when noon starts so there are many to choose from"
"Let it be, until now you're still..."
"OK, one Quest picked up the medicinal materials in the Ibis Forest is soon ready!"
"Woii..! That one don't be taken by joke!"
Yup, peaceful days like this are indeed the best.
"By the way, Miss Laila, can I meet the Headmaster? It's about a report on a bandit group that's been active recently"
Now that you say it, lately there's a group of bandits who call themselves Neck Hunters.
They used to rob passing merchants, take everything, kill all the men, and then
raping and selling women.
Therefore, the Union party had given a great reward to anyone who had managed to subdue them.
Turbo and his Guild were the most active in this Quest. Although this is actually not necessary, Turbo always gives the latest reports to Headmaster Alfred directly.
"Ah, sorry. The headmaster is currently in the mayor's office"
"Well, I guess I'll come another day"
"Well... You are this, even though you have just completed a difficult Quest. Why not take a break for a while. Enjoy these peaceful days"
"Have you heard about the calm before the storm?"
"Say that one more time and I'll hit you!"
"Haha... Relax, I just..."
Just before Turbo finished his words, he immediately directed his gaze towards the entrance.
The curious me also looked in the same direction.
There I saw a beautiful woman wearing a dress that looked very expensive.
"I'll hit you later"
Thanks to the arrival of the woman, the originally noisy Union instantly became silent. Everyone looked towards the unusual guest.
The woman had light green hair that extended until it reached her knees. His tanned skin looked very exotic. The dress she was wearing looked like a dance dress. If only he did not carry an old-looking sling bag, then his appearance would be perfect.
From anywhere, the woman looked like a noble girl with a high rank.
I wonder which wife she is from the nobility?
The woman, after looking around, stepped her feet right at me.
"Ehem... Ma'am, is there anything we can help you with?"
"Sorry to interrupt, my arrival here is at the behest of my Master to sell materials and potions made by him"
His extremely polite speech style as well as his crystal-clear voice made him... Wait for... Wait for... Waitaminute! The master! She's a waiter!?
Not only me, everyone who was in this room simultaneously felt astonished at his words. Even my comrades who were initially busy instantly fell silent.
After that, the woman handed me the old sling bag she was carrying. Obviously this is an . When I looked into it, there were all sorts of materials and Potions inside.
After handing the bag over to my colleague in charge of exchanging materials, I went back to face the woman.
"Your request will be processed immediately. If so, can we accept your identification card?"
"I don't have an identification tag. However, the Master has given permission to use his own"
The woman also handed him an identification card. When I read the name on the card...
...
...
...
"Ep... Miss Laila, is there a problem?"
Upon seeing the identification card, Miss Laila became silent like a statue.
Out of curiosity, I moved behind the reception desk and saw the card from beside Miss Laila.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But can you come with me to the upstairs room? There's something important to talk about"
"...alright"
I left Miss Laila still not moving a bit and led this woman to the upstairs room where important talks were common.
Before that, I whispered something into the ears of the other receptionist who was standing beside Miss Laila.
"Call the Headmaster right now. Tell me the servant of the Witch of the Ibis Forest is here"
...
The person in front of me right now is the mayor of the city of Gata, Lambert von Gata.
He is a man who is over 50 years old. His gray hair was left to stretch until it reached his shoulders. From the outside, his body looks small. However, he was actually a powerful Mage.
It was said that he was the best graduate of the royal academy and won the Grand Tournament twice in a row.
We are now in his private office.
The reason for my arrival here is to give a monthly report.
"So, thank goodness that the Otherworlders have recently been kind"
When they first came to this world, many of them behaved like delinquents. No, they're worse than that.
Violence, theft, and rape are committed for reasons that are incomprehensible.
If it were not for the hard work of Otherworlders like son Turbo, I suspect that the existence of the Otherworlders would only be a parasite for the inhabitants of this world.
"Then, about the Witch, is there any news?"
"For that matter, in addition to the increasingly active activities of the Ibis Forest, there are no new developments"
"Is it possible to negotiate with him?"
Because of the Witch's existence, the entire Ibis Forest was forced to close. Thanks to that, the main hunting ground for Adventurers became disappearing which made their income drop drastically.
It also has an impact on the city's economy because valuable materials are found in the forest.
"Seeing from his personality, as long as the price is right, negotiations can be smooth and peaceful"
"Honestly, officially or not, I don't want to make trouble with any Witch. It would be great if the negotiations could go smoothly without any problems at all"
"What's the problem now is what can we offer him?"
While we were still busy discussing, someone was bothering us.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The sound of knocking resounded throughout the room. From his intonation, the other party seemed to be in a hurry.
"Lake in!"
After being granted permission by Mayor Lambert, the door opened. The one who entered was not a government employee but an employee of the Union.
Seeing this I already feel a bad feeling.
"Excuse me, there's an urgent report from the Union"
"Say"
"Ready, the Servant of the Witch of the Ibis Forest is now inside the Union"
Hearing this, Mayor Lambert and I could only sigh.
...
By the time I got inside the Union, they immediately asked me to go into a room and sit there for a few minutes.
Accompanying me was an Adventurer who looked young.
He introduced himself as Turbo. Strange name if you ask.
After a while, the door of the room opened. Two men entered the room.
The first was a man who looked like a veteran knight. While the other one was a powerful enough Mage.
Looking at the attitude Turbo took upon seeing them, it seemed that the two of them were important people.
"Include me, I am the Mayor of this city, Lambert von Gata"
"While I'm the headmaster of the Union, Alfred"
The Mage was a Mayor while the knight was a Headmaster.
Hm... They did not appear to be malicious, but the aura they emitted said that they were on alert.
"Include, this waiter is named Lif. I serve the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender. It's nice to meet you all"
After that we had a light conversation.
While enjoying the tea and sweets served, I answered their every question.
Like the reason I came here and what I wanted to do afterwards.
After I answered all that, then we went into the main topic.
They asked me to convey their request to the Master.
Their request was for permission to enter the Ibis Forest even if it was only on the outside of it. They say they desperately need materials coming from the forest.
"Sir Lambert, I have heard your request. When I get home, I will convey your request to the Master"
Upon hearing this, a sense of relief appeared on their faces.
After exchanging greetings, I finally resigned.
While being escorted by Turbo, I circled the city to shop using the money I had just earned from exchanging the materials and Potions that Master had given me.
